Ravages OF the Cholera In Roumanis
LONDON, September 23.-AdVices re-
ceived here to-day from Bucharest,
in Roumania, give full particulars OF
the dreadful ravages Of the cholera. In
the principal cities there is no abate.
ment to the speed Of the epedem'c. Ii
is estimated that over 10000 persons
have already died from the disease
The nature of the plague is epedlmlc
in the extreme. 1t is also feared 1t
will spread over the entire country. A
large number Of physicians, Sisters OF
Charity and other persons, disposed 10
administer to the afflicted, have ar
rived at Bucharest from St. Petersburg,
Odessa and other neighboring cities.
Great impetus is given to the disease IN
Bucharest rom the swampy nature OF
it's land and filthy condition OF the
CITY itself. The disease has been most
violent in those sections OF the city
where filthy mud huts or cabins are
numerous, hundreds o which have
been completely depopulated. IN many
instances the inmates dying from want
of care, and their bodies being left uu-
buried for several days. A letter re-
ceived to-day by your correspondent
presents a 'righ,ful picture OF the con-
dition OF affairs.

a slight earthquake occurred in that

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
or FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. q In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PRrrA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

ETHNoLoGY HAIR.

The form and substance of human hair
is different in different races, and may be
described, in its structure, as cylindrical,
oval and eccentrically elliptical. The hair
of the North American Indian is cylindri-
cal that of the white race is oval, and
that of the negro (Which is really not hair
but wooll, is eccentricaliy elliptical. When
the hair is cylindrical, the strengtbing and
shrinking powers are equal on all sides of
the flanent, and this condition gives 1t the
lank, straight appearance of that of the pure
blood Indian. The oval hair displays
greater number of fibres upon the aattened
side than elsewhere, and this condition
gives the hair tendency to curl or curve
in that direction. When eccentrically ell
liptical, it not only always curls but often
assumes spiral shape, as on the head of
the negro. The hair of the Chinese is
nearly cylindrical, and hence it is that
curled hair is almost unknown among that
people I have passed the hair of the
North American Indian, and also that Of
Chinese, between rollers, so as to fatten
the pile, and each instantly curled. We
may, therefore, easily determine the shape
of the ilaments of the hair fromits appear
ance. The cylindrical hair (and conse-
quently lank) Of the North American lndi-
an is type of all natives of the continent of
America; that is to say, purely aboriginals.
Some hair taken from the Temple of the
Sun, near Lima, in Peru, in South Amer
lea, belonged to one of the ancient inhabi-
tants of that country, who were possibly,
and probably, think, of the same race as
the mound-builders of North America, was
cylindrical, and consequently straight
When.the mound builders fourished as the
possessors of our land west of the Allegheny
Mountains, we know not. The ancient
Peruvians, their brethren, had cylindrical
hair, and thereby is proven their affinity to
the North American Indians. Historical
