The weather has been mild for the last
few days. The ice gorge, which has been
melting rapidly, yesterday gave way and
disappeared, and the river Is now clear
from here to New Orleans. Yesterday,
the ice-bound boat. all steamed up to this
city, and the wharf presented lively
and natural appearance. The resumption
of navigation has put new life into the
market, and heavy Transitions in all de-
partmcnts of trade were the order to-
day. Everything sells readily, but the
market is almost bare in consequence Of
light receipts. The market is poorly
supplied with choice hay, higher grades of
-four and grain, and rs there is fair pros
pect of abrisk trade with rates in favor Of
shippers, correspondents are recommended
to forward choice grades of hay, -four and
grain without delay. Sales of hay were
made to-day, at $50 for good mixed,
which is an outside figure, more than it
would have brought, if the market had
been we'll supplied.
Rates of freight are very unsettled. An
early reduction is anticipated.

RE-ASIMATISG THE HAIR.-When the
hair cease to draw from the scalp the nat
ural lubricant which is its sustenaces, its
vitality is, as it were, suspended, and if
not promptly attended to, badness will be
the certain result. The one sure method
of avoiding such an unpleasant catas-
trophe is to use LYoS's KATuAIRoN, which,
when well rubbed into the scalp, will
speedily terminate the hair and prevent
it from falling out Besides that this in

THE MUNICIPAL CAYvAs.-The mp

The Lansien administration deserves well

possible, SO that it may have an oppor-
tunity to more fully develope-to consum-
mate its policy of municipal government.
1t would DO well, therefore, if the electors
should say to the present city officers;

the year 1871, We're f200, S35. OF this sum

A PhilanthrOpic Device.

AN ingenious plan for preventing ex-
blossoms in mines that are caused by the
carelessness of tObaccO-smOkers has been
devised by a philanthropist. Miners, he
says, will smoke. like railway travellers,
whatever regulations may be made to him
der them from so doing. 1t is, therefore,
proposed to enable them to enjoy their
pipes without danger. To effect this OBJ
ject, earthen " are jars of tobacco are to be
deposited on the surface of the ground
near the pits mouth. the smoke from
which can be inhaled through india-rub-
Der tubes running inside the mine. To-
baccO-smOke is. in fact, to be laid on to
the mine as gas and water are laid on to
houses. The jars being lighted from
above, the tobacco may be smoked in per-
feet safety; and the miners will no longer
be tempted to carry lucifer-matches in
their pockets. The objection to this
scheme is, that the tubes might become
choked with oil but this, it is stated, may
be obviated by causing the smoke to pass
through water, as i'm the case of n hookah.
There is also the objection that the smoke
might possibly refuse to pass through the
tubes at all !; but miners have strong
lungs, and by "a long pull, a strong pull,
and pull all together" would doubtless
succeed in obtaining supply of the nox-
iOus but fascinating fumes, for the sake of
which they often sacrifice not only their
own lives. but also those of their COM

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIoNS.-Perhaps
ions than DIR. Walker, as the enormous
and widely increasing sale of his CALI
FORNIA VINEGAR BITTERS attests. We
never look into one of our exchanges, but
there is a panegyric OF the Bitters staring
us in the face. Our readers will say that
there must be a reason for all this praise.
They are right. The efficacy of this Gel
ebrated medicine is established by evil
dence which it is impossible to doubt.
Among the thousands who have borne
testimony to its excellence, there is not
one dissentient voice. In very many
phases of inorganic disease it seems to be
unfailing. All diseases arising from a vi
tiated state of the blood are surely eradi-
Gated by it. 1t is an effectual remedy tor
pulmonary complaints, bilious, remittent
and intermittent fevers, rheumatism and
dyspepsia. 1t purges the body of all I'M
healthy humors, gives tone to the system,
and where the vital powers are enfcebled.
restores their functions to vigorous and
healthy action. All this it does the more
etfectuaily because its operation is not in
terfefed with by the presence of alcohol.
The VINEGAR BITTERs is perfectly free
from any such hurtful ingredient. We
have always believed that plants contain
the true remedies for disease. and all the
remedies necessary. DIR. Walker is on the
line of real progress, and we hope that he
will not rest on his present discoveries.

The ShaIi,S Harem.

THERE are three ranks of women in the
harem, the Begun, Canum and katun, or
princesses ofthe bloOd-rOyal, the mistresses
and the slaves. The guards hold the most
important offices in and about the harem.
and are divided into three grades. First,
those who are placed at the outer gates
and never come within sight of the wO-
men; secondly, the blacks from the coasts
OF Malabar, who act as messengers and
the third composed of women, command
ed by some antiquated matrOn, who re-
ceives orders direct from the prince HIM
self Most of the ladies are Georgian and
Circassan women of low birth, but from
the description of two they must possess
rare charms. There are three European
ladies in the harem at present, one from
Paris, and two English blondes. From
all accounts it is not the life of roses we
have been led to believe ; the rules are
severely strict, and the punishment for the
slightest Offense is carried to an extreme
point.
1t is said that Abbas H., finding that
his favOrite had deceived him in a trihing
matter, ordered fire TO be made, and
caused her to he burnt in his presence.
AS the ladies follow the king to his other
palaces, or to camp in time of war, they
travel at night guarded by IA troop OF cav
airy, who are directed to keep every male
exceeding the age of seven years at a
proper distance. From all accounts, many
would gladly return to their ZONES, and
many is the poor Gagged bird, who signs for
her mountains and the green fields of her
youth, longing to escape from the prison
life their position forces them to lead. My
informant tells me that there is one favor
lite, one special pet among them, upon
whom for her beauty, voice and wit, the
prince showers all his caresses how
weary must the rest be singing, dancing,
or playing before him they ioathc yet
fear forced to contribute to the pleasures
of their hated rival. Happy is she whom
the king admircs, and can make him be-
lieve she has an equal passion for him. |
cannot further enlarge upon this delicate
subject, and therefore closcthis paragraph
with the hope that the moral of its pur-
port may prove an apology for touching
upon this feature of Persian shame.-fe7'-

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.

The fatigue of the limbs incident to
railway travel, is OccasiOned mainly by
the trembling motion of the floor under
the feet, and may be largely overcome by
the use of an air-cushioned fOotstool.
THE only specific for sea-sickness is
either disembarking, or accumulation to
the motion of the ship by the wonderful
power of accommodation to circumstance
es possessed by the human frame. The
one is certain, the other doubtful.
EATING THE BANANA.-There is way
of eating them i'm the East which is worth
knowing, thus-take a soup plate, strip
half dozen bananas, and with silver
fork mash them up, adding sufficient
sherry and sugar to make the whole of
about the consistency of a thick soup.
When so treated there is flavor which
may almost vie with that of the most de
liciOus fruit in the world-the MangOs-
teen.
In DIR. Carl Both's "SmallrOx: the
PredispOsing Conditions and their Pre-
ventiOn," just out in Boston. the theory
is advanced that this dreadful disease is
provoked by two much albumen and too
little salt in the blood. The author as
serts that wherever, from any cause, salt
has become scarce we find smallpox a reg
ular visitant. If people would drink less
tea, coffee and alcohol, eat less sugar and
more sailed food they would get the prop
er balance in the blood and could not take
smallpox or any contagious disease. So
says DR.. Both.
To detect sulphuric acid in vinegar the
following process is said to be effac i've.
and is simple BIO few grains of starch
with an ounce or two of the suspected
vinegar, for a few minutes in glass YES
sci; when it has become cod, add a drop
of tincture of id ne. If the vinegar con-
tains no sulphur;c acid, a beautiful blue
color will be produced by the reaction of
the iodine ON the starch. BuE if a small
quantity of sulphuric acid be present. no
color will be developed, for the acid will
have changed the starch to dextrin, which
is not colored by iodine.
THE CHOLERA.-A very remarkable the
DRY in regard to the origin of cholera,
has been submitted to the Russian Impe-
rial Academy of Sciences. 1t is that chol-
era is intimately connected with auroral
displays and solar Disturbances, SO that
the epidemics of the disease occur at pc
RODS bearing an unvarying relation to the
maximum and minimum periods OF tire
prevalence of sun-spots. This view is en-
tirely at variance, We believe, with that
