THE CULTURE OF THE HAIR.-Just as
surely as soil infestsd with Cansdisn this

golden grain, the sea p now scarcely covered

made prolific of silkeu tresses. All that is
necessary to effect the change in either case
ia the right KIND Of fertilizer. Leaving the
| agricultural chemists to determine how the
barren land shall be made fruitful, We posi-
lively assert that Lyons ksthairon is un-
equaled sG a fertilizer and beautifer Of
the head. Twenty FIVE years of success is
the basis of this unqualified statement,
| During that time il has been used by many
millions OF both sexes, and the first instance
In which il has failed 10 fulfil the expecta-
lions of a rational purchaser has yet TO be
discovered. 1t will not cause hair to grow

roots of the hirSute 6bers remain undis-

shoots, and in all cases where the hair has
become thin it will increase its volume.

New YORK, Nov. 18.-A terrible tragedy
was enacted to-day at AZ Pine street. The
facts in the case are follows: Testimony in
suit for the divorce of Mrs. King from
her husband, j. c. King, q lawyer of 40
East l7th street, was being taken before
Judge SoutberIand, and Am mbrose O. O'Neill,
a detective on the Erie railway, and his
wife, were witnesses in the case 1t is said
that the evidence of both showed very bru-
tai conduct on the part of King towards
his wife. After the case had been adj ourned
0'Neill left the office, which is on the third
floor, and started to go down stairs. King
followed him several steps behind When
0'Neill had reached the second floor King
drew his pistol and fred three shots in quick
succession. 0'NeiIl walked steadily into
the office of Mr.. Quick, on the second floor,
sat down in 9 chair, and in about half an
hour breathed his last. As soon as the third
shot was fred King ran back into Judge
Southerland's Office and handed his pistol
to the Judge. He then ran into the inner
office and locked himself in. Officer Glib
nsY arrived in a few moments, and was
forced to break in the door of Kings retreat
in order to effect his arrest. After an en-
tranch was gained into the room he made
no attempt at resistance, and was quietly
removed to the New street station.
| The victim was not able to give any &C
count of the shooting. He was wounded IN
the lungs, preventing any uttersucs. The
| body of the murdered man was taken to the
New street station house, and now lies there
awaiting the action OF the coroner.
The full bench Supreme Court to-day
unanimously set aside the conviction o.
RosenZweig, the famous abortionist, who
was sentenced last Novemb Der to seven year,
imprisonment for the murder of Alice
Bowlsby. A new trial vas ordered, anc
Rosenzweig will be brought at once to thi,

Seed Potatoes.

Tho Pacifc Rural Press of recent date contains the following:
 "The season of potato planting is at hand, and as various opinions are entertained in re- gard to the selection of seed, we give the re- suits of several experiments conducted by us, with view of settling certain questions in our own mind relative thereto. We planted four rows across a narrow field with the smallest, and four rows with the largest pota- toes from the same sack, and four rows from those of medium size, using the same weight of potatoes for each experiment. They were cultivated precisely alike, and the potatoes were dug, when matured, on the same day The result was nearly complete exemplif- cation of the rule that like produces like" We had but few very large or very small po- tatoes, comparatively, from the seed of me- dium size but larger yield by 132 pounds than from the very large seed, and l6S pounds more than from the small seed. From the large seed we obtained a few very large po- tatoes, fair proportion of medium size, with . great many small ones; whilst the small seed produced a very large proportion of small, few of medium size, and only here and there one that could be called large Another experiment was made at the same time, using cut and uncut seed, with 30 pounds of large uncut potatoes against 20 pounds of the same large ones cut in quarters, but occupying the same number of rows, of course scattering the seed moro in the row. The result was hardly perceptible difference in the sizes as between the two, but the % pounds of cut seed, produced S2 pounds more than the large uncut seed. This was con- elusive that in planting very large potatoes, too much seed was given to the single hill or place in the row. Again, potatoes of medium size were cut in halves, the seed ends, as they are called, being that end containing the largest number of eyes closely set together, though producing greater number of stalks to the hill, gave also more in number of pota- toes, but smaller than those from the butt or larger end of the tuber, and less in weight by 46 pounds. The variety of potatoes for the experiment was the pinkeye. The gen. erai result would seem to be, taking into con- sideration the time and trouble of cutting the seed, in favor of planting whole seed of a medium size, and next to this, cutting them in halves. further experiment was made in which only the eyes, with a small quantity of the potato attached, were used. and though good potatoes resulted from tbe growth Of the larger eyes, very many of the smsller ones rotted in the ground or produc, ed only feeble shoots, with correspondingly small potatoes"
