An Essential Of E0Feliness.-To be
entirely beautiful, the hair should be album
dant and lGstrous. This is absolutely es-
sential to complete loneliness. The most
regular features, the most brilliant com
pexion and pearliest teeth fail of their due
effect If the hair be thin, dry or harsh. On
the contrary the plainest face, il it be but
surm0unted by luxuriant and silken tresses,
is apt to impress the beholder with sense
of actual beauty. That browning ornament
of her sex is, happily, within the reach of
lovei y woman, and being as discriminating
as she is lovely, she long ago discovered
that Lyons Kathsiron was the sure means
OF securing it. No preparation for the hair
ever enjoyed q 1.-THE of its popularity, aud
no wonder, since it produces such crafty
ing results. Applied to the waste and bar
ren places Of the scalp, it fruetifes and en-
riches them with new and ample growth.
1t is not Of course pretended that it will do
this if the capacity for reproduction is ex-
tinct, but so long as it remains, that won
derful rehabilitant will assuredly propagate
the germ of the hair into life and activity.

AMERICAN LADIES IN PARHSEH
QUEFTE OF THE STREETS.

The following, from the Paris correspond
ent OF the Baltimore american, gives one a
pleasant idea Of the street manners of the
''most polite city in the world"
American ladies visiting Paris are ant TO
be much annoyed until they learn the ETH
quette of the streets. They are liable to
compromise themselves if they appear
alone upon the thoroughfares without the
observance Of certain rules which time has
rendered fixed and immutable. In the first
place, a respectable young lady in Paris
never appears on the streets in anything
but black dress, unless when with a male
escort or aged duenna. If in a white or
light dress, her character is liable to be mis-
taken, especially if she should be young or
interesting. Then if she is without escort
she must, to maintain her character, push
straight forward, without looking to the
right or to the left. If she should stop to
look in at the fine displays in the store win
dows, for which Paris is so famous, she
must not be surprised if some of the young
men who lOHnee around the caf walk up
to her, nudge her elbow, and enter into a
conversation. 1t is the practice of the
deIni-naOnde TO thus stop when gentleman
is approaching whose attention they desire
to attract, and the masculines Of loose NOR
ais choose to regard any one who may stop
to look at the gorgeous array of diamonds
in window as having invited their atten-
ton.
So also in riding. A lady seated alone in
a carriage, either on the street or in the Bots
de Boulogne, is regarded as reserving the
seat beside her for any chance gentleman
whom she may attract. Chus ladies who
have not male escort either take their ser
wants with them when they ride or borrow
neighbours child, if they have none Of
their own. To ride alone would be to in
vite insult or offensive attention Il
The same is the rule in London, and al
most throughout Europe. The fact is that
the more respectable classes seldom walk
the street. In London you never see what
we would call at home well dressed lady.
Those who seem, and undoubtedly are rep
utable, are arrayed in plain suits Of black,
evidently intending and desiring to shun
rather than court observation. A finely
dressed female in London is invariably re-
garded as a woman of loose character if
she have no escort with her, and even then
she must carry most demure face, and her
escort must not put on any fopish airs if be
Goes not desire TO compromise the character
OF his companion. But black dres: and a
last walk, as if in great hurry, is tie only
thing that will insure for lady alone In the
street entire freedom from improper atten-
tons or insult. The only finely dressed fe-
males on the street anywhere in Europe are
those of bad character.

a Trolling Association.

| Why not organize trotting association
among the lovers of the sport in Nashville?
| We read accounts Of fine trotting animals
in every other city in the country, and
! chronicle fast time by noted horses else
where, and here in Nashville when it comes
to trOtting, it has been difficult for years
past to get up what would hardly pass as a
respectable scrub race elsewhere. The de-
moralized condition of our trOtti0g turf is
owing to the fact that we have no regularly
organized trottiDg association. Let us have
an association formed after the
fashion Of the Blood Horse Association,
and then by Offering liberaI purses, we can
expect to have regular trotting seasons, at
tended by the Goldsmith Maids and Lucys
of the country. 1t requires just such an or
ganizatiOh to foster and encourage and i'm
prove the trottiDg stock of our country,
which of late years has been on the decline.
There is no reason why Middle Tennessee
should not become equally as famous in
trotting as in blood stock, and certainly 1t
requires no argument to show that with the
same care and attention besto we'd upon the
elevation of trotting stock, it would in a f.
naucial point of view, be much more profit
able. But the starting point in this
matter Us We Cohc6iFe; Is Jue OrSdulZALlOn
of first class association, which will adj
here to the laws of the trotting turf, and
thus, by right management, tend to create
a fOndness for this sport. 1t is Cftentimes
disgusting to witness the kind of trots that
have been dished up Of late years to the
public, aud to wi5Eess the iockeying and
other Objectionable features that have been
resorted TO. With tratting association,
composed of those who will see that racing
is conducted rightly, the blood horse men
will cheerfully cooperate, and we are GER
tain would lease the tracks on favorable
terms. We viii soon have a street railway
to the course, and with the appearance of
famous trotting horses on the turf, this
would become a fayorite resort during
these summer afternoons. Who will start
the bah for trotting association?

Am ola Bank IN sheIbyyIIIe

1t appears from an old circular, which we
have in our possession, chat as far back as
1924 we had a bank in Shelbyville. 1t was
called "The Branch of the Nashville Bank
at Shelbyville" Jesse Taylor was the
Cashier, but for some reason resigned, or
was thrown out of his position. 1t appears
from the circular before US that some slight
errors were found in Mr.. Taylor's accounts
as cashier-say some five hundred dollars.
Mr.. Taylor tried to explain, and as he says
did explain, all about the matter, but as his
explanation seemed to be unsatisfactory, he
paid the money out of his funds and then
in the circular retorts bitterly against his
accusers. The circular bears date the 10Th
May, 1S24.-Shelbyate Commercial, 26th.

Arrested I'm Femaie Attire.

The occupants OF an express wagon
driven through the streets yesterday after
boon, attracted some attention and excited
some merriment by the singularity of thair
dress and the comical nature of their ap-
pearance and conduct. The occupants Of
the wagon were three men from tile Acad-
envy of Music. Two of the trio were at
tired in Dolly Warden coats and coon tail
pants, while the third personated colored
female, wearing calico gown and other
articles not usually recognized as part of
male attire. They were arrested by the
police, and being brought to the station, the
two dressed as men were released, and
Thos. Sadler, who was ambitious to look
like woman, was cited to appear before
the Recorder and explain why he would not
be eontented and happy in the character of
garments usually worn by other men.

The season so far promises rich harvest
for our millers, who up to this time have
met with unbounded success, and appear
to be masters of the situation. In conse-
quence of the comparatively low price Of
wheat, they have been enabled to beat out
all competition, and undersell any other
market in the country. The four city mills
are running day and night, and with the
assistan ,e of the mills in the adjoining coun-
ties, our market has been able to fill all or
ders promptly; and Nashville is destined
this year to make more reputation as a
-four market than has ever before been &C.
complished. Success to this branch of man.
ufacture. We would like to see a dozen
more mills, each enjoying the same pros
perity that attends those in operation.

fully, and manifested willingness to pay,
but hesitated moment and asked that "a
friend be called in to certify that he was

remembering that he had Thousand dollar

ttnruIar Combustion.

A very singular phenomenon was OBJ
served in Memphis few days ago. 1t was
species of spontaneous combustion by
which dozens of oil lamps were set on fire.
There are here in the city of Memphis,
says the appeal, a great number of
lamps in places where the gas COM
panies have not run their pipes, and
these are usually replenished by the
lamp-lighter every two or three days,
though not lighted up with the same regu-
larity. The intense solar beams of yester-
day, shining on the glasses of those lamps,
generated degree Of heat within that set
the exposed wick on fire. We do not know
what the fire test IF the oil used is, but it is
kerosene which ignites at $50 deg. Fahren-
heit, we believe, and the heat inside the
lamp must have reached that, or nearly that
yesterday. However, spontaneous combus-
ton would account for the ignition without
reaching such degree of direct heat as that
mentioned.

A FINE blooded horse will show traits of
Character that might shame his owner. The
pluck of Longfellow, at Saratoga, in run
ming for three quarters Of a mile with a dis
abled leg, and against one of the feetest
horses in the world, was simply magnificent.
1t is painful to think of the noble animal
putting forth the most wonderful efforts and
keeping close upon his unframed antagon-
ist, while one of his feet was cut 50 badly
that it is feared be never can run again, but
we must admire the splendid qualities OF
the unfortunate creature, that sustained
him in such struggle.
