as to be only nominally so, the loss in

can be attributed to the withdrawal OF money
on Pacific Mail shares, owing to the immense
decline in their market value. The heavy i'm

President Grant A friend called upon
the Colonel when the following conversa-
ensued:
Friend-Well, how DO you like Presid-
ent Grant?
Mosby-Oh, he is very plain. One
don't feel small 10 his presence; you don't
feel that awe or reverence one has when
ushered into the presence Of General Lee.
| was very much pleased with Grant and
my reception
Friend How is the issue down your
way?
Mosby-Well, think it best to 60 for
Grant. James Barbour is for him; Cen
eral Paine and one or two other ex-Con
Tolerate Generals are for him.
Frieud-How is it with your friend
Governor Smith-"Extra Billy"
Mnsby-Oh, he is for Horace.
Friend-Well, what is your opinion of
the political situation?
Mosby-I think it would be to the in
terest of the Southern people to 90 for
Grant than dried up vegetable like Uncle
Horace. He is free loveist, an agrarlau,
Fourierite, and if elected might have
Susan Anthony or Lucy Stone in bis
Cabinet. Grant could benefit the South
more than Greeley, because he would have
the power in and out OF Congress to dc
positive acts of friendship for them, whereas
Gree could not
Mosby was of the opinion that Gen.
Grant may secure the votes Of the South
eru people ii they are convinced chat they
are no longer to be subjected to persecu-
lion, but shall have an equal voice In the
Government, and that the policy OF his
administration will be to restore kindly
relations between the sections. He says
ii think the election will give Gen. Grant
an OPP loriunlty of making friends with the
Southern people, and the Southern people
an opportunity of making friend OF

The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and c.ean. 1t removes al eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
tae hair-glands. By its use, the hair
g~ows thicker and stronger. In

extreme Old age. 1t is the most eco

as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
