right, that they can lasso as many beaux

their besHaing eyes. Hence in their "toi-

and the latest result of this discussion
seems to be the almost universal ado?-
tion Of LYONS KATHAIRoN as an article
better adapted to promote the growth and
beauty of the "Chief Glory Of Woman"
than any other at present before the

the skin of the head it eradicates dan

surface to the roots of the hair, endowing
them with new life and vigor.

which it was beautiful TO contemplate.

From the proceedings of Republican

From the proceedings of Republican
meeting held at Graniteville, on the 4th,
we make the following extract: -
".The meeting was first addressed by
the Hon. John Wooney, who dehyerea
an7able speech and completely TeiuteQ
the many charges whichs from time TO
time have been made against him by
corrupt and,designing of6ce-seek kers. he
.dwelt happy effect upon the ostra-
cism and persecution which he had IN
the past experienced, because OF ms oelng
steadfast in maintaining the rights "oi
colored fellow. citizens |; and he felt con-
fident that in the coming campaign, IN
which he desired it known he was can
.didate for the position of Senator. from
Edgefeld county that the Republicans
of that county would sustain him. A.1s
The meeting was addressed by other
gentlemen, and thefollowing Resolution,
among others, was unanimously adopted:
: Resolped, That our confidence in the
Hon. J. Woolley as q true Republican is
.undiminished, Notwithstanding reports
circulated to the contrary, and wh1ch
have caused his removal. from the ofhce
of County Treasurer of Edgefeld county,
and we shall always feel grateful for the
interest manifested by him in the educa-
ton of our children.
And the following letter, from three
little colored children, in their own plain
unvarnished vernacularr is q strong en-
dorsement of the above Resolution, and
goes far towards showing that Mr.. Wool.
ley is not only a Republican In sentiment
and words, but likewise in deeds af
benefcent charity. Actions speak louder
than words: 49,, .,.,,c1

Mr.. McDevitt either. We are sorry that
Mr. Woolley has been so badly treated
by the head men in Columbia, for If he

Liberal Republican Platform

q. The following is the Platform adopted by the Cincinnati Convention.
 FiRsr-AlI political rights and franchises which havc been acquired through onr iste bloody convalsion must and shsli oe guarah teed, maintained, enjoyed and respee'' eyermore.
 SEcosp-An political rights and franchises which have been lost through that convni''oh should and must be promptly restored ana re-estabIished. so that there shall be nen' C. forth no prescribed class and nc disiranchiseo beings within ihe limits of our Union, whose long estranged people sl,ail reunlte and Ira ternize upon the broad basis of universal amnesty with impartial suffrage.
 THIap-That, subject to our solemn Con- s,itutionsl obligations to maintain equal right. to sll oue citizens, our policy should aim at local sclf-goverpment and not at cen tralization; that the civil authority should be supreme over the military; that the writ of habeas corpus should be zealously upheld as a ssfeguard of personal freedom; that individ. ual citizens should enjoy the largest liberty consistent with public order, and that there shall be TO Federal suhversion Of internal policy of the several States and Municipal ities. hut that each should be left free to enforce the rights and promote the we'll be ing of its inhabitants by such means as the judgment of It's own people shall prescribe.
 FouRTa-There shall be real, and no merely simulated reform in the civil service of the Republic. to which end it is indispen- sihle that the chief dispenser of its vast offi- cial patronage shall be shielded from the main temptation to use his power selfshly by . rule inexorably forbidding and precluding bis reelection.
 Ffrru-That the raising of the revenue, whether by tariff or otherwise, shall be rec ognized and treated as the peoples immedi- ate business to be shaped and directed by them through their Representatives in Con rress. whose action thereon the President must neither overrule by his veto, attempt to dictate, nor presume to punish by bestow- ing office only on those who agree with him, or withdrawing it from those who do not.
 SIXTH That the public lands must be sa- credly reserved for the occupation and acqui- si,ion of cultivators and not recklessly sanandcred on the projectors of railroads, for which our people have no present need, and thc i'm nature construction of which, Is annually pIunging us deeper and deeper into the abysses of foreign indebtedness.
 SEVENTH the achievement of these grand purposes of universal bene6cence is ex- pected and sought at the hands of all who approve them. irrespective of past affiliations.
 EIGHrH-That the public faith must at all hazar.is be maintained and national credit preserved.
 NINru-That the patriotic dcvotedness and inestimable services of our fellow citi- sens who .s soldiers or sailors upheld the flag and maintained the unity of the Repub. lie, shall ever be gratefully remembered and honorsbly requited.

Mule Artillery.

At . certain Westeru fort some time ago, . major conceived the idea that artillery might be used effectively in fighting with the Indians by dispensing with gun carriages and fastening the cannon upon the backs of mules. &, he explained his views to the commandant and it was determined to try the experiment. A howitzer was selected and strapped upon an ambulance mule, with the muzzlc pointed toward the tail. When they had sc- cured the gun, and loaded it with ball cart ridge, they led that calm and steadfast mule out on the bluff, and set up a target in the middle of the river to practice at. The rear of the mule was turned toward the target, ana he was backed gently up to the edge of the bluff The officers stood around in . semi circle, while the major went up and in- sertei time fuse in the touch-hole of the bowitzer. When the fuse was ready, the major lit it and retired. In a second ar two the hitherto unruffied mule heard the fizzing back there on his back, aud it made him un- easy. He reached his head around t0 ascer- tain what was going on, and as he did so his body turned and the howitzer began to sweep around the horizon. The mule at last became excited, and curiosity became more intense, and in a second or two he was standing with his four legs in bunch, making six revolu- tions a minute, and the howitzer threatening sudden death to every man within half a mile. The commandant was observed to climb suddenly up tree-the lieu.enants were seen sliding over the bluff into the riv- CT, a. if they didn't care at all about the high price of uniforms--the adjutant made good time toward the fort-the sergeant began to throw up breastworks with his bayonet, and the major rolled over the ground and groaned. In two or three minutes there was puf of smoke, a dull thud, and the mule-O! where was he7 A solitary jackass might have been seen turning successive back so,nersaults over che bluff, only to rest at anchor, finally, with his howisxer. at the bottom of the river, while the hall went of toward the fort, hit the chimney in the msjor's quarters, rattled the sdobc bricks down into the parlor. and fright sned the msjor's wife into convulsions.
