as that of his steers. His relation to
the gentle cowherd of the story books

Gov. WarmOth's Interview with
the President.

A New York correspondent of the
New Orleans Republican gives the fol-
lowing account of the late interview
between Gov. Warmoth and President
Grant:
Louisiana politics can never cease
to excite comment where circles of
men engage in the discussion of pub
lie affairs. A distinguished Cabinet
officer who was present when Cover
nor Warmoth and the President had
their interview, is said to have told a
well-known New Yorker all about it,
| and the latter relates it to his friends
about in this wise:
Warmoth enters and says GOOD
morning Mr.. President" Grant re-
spends, GOOD morning, Governor,
take seat"
The Governor takes q seat, and
Grant looks at him coldly and re-
marks, Well, Governor, what news
do you bring from Louisiana 2"
Governor Warmoth-Well, Mr..
President, we are pretty noisy set
of fellows down there, and have been
making considerable of fuss of late.
| President GRANTEES, l have heard
a good deal about your troubles, but
find it difficult to tell which party is
right or which is wrong.
Warmoth-Oh, that is very easy
matter. If you were in New Orleans
and knew what I do, and seen what
have seen, you would say that my
friends and myself were right all the
while, and that your officers, in ALI
ance with the Democrats, were always
wrong from the commencement of the
struggle till now, and You would re-
move them from Office instantly.
Grant-Perhaps I would.
Warmoth-I know you would.
Grant-But is there no way to fix
things up7
Governor Warmoth-There has
been no time when the whole difficult
ty could not have ended were it not
that your officers seemed determined
to destroy our party, and to do so re-
sorted to alliance with Democrats-an
alliance which caused many of my
friends to think put them outside of
the party.
President Grant-But can not the
matter be arranged now9
Governor Warmoth-If parties were
all agreed TO let past differences dis
appear, and to enter in good faith into
new campaign with a view only to
party success, it seems to me every
thing could be satisfactorily arranged.
Cabinet Minister-Why could not
the two State committees get together
and make one committee, composed
of ten from each side9
Governor Warmotll-Thath has been
talked of by some parties. If my
friends deemed that the most desira-
bic thing to do, | would have no
objection to their doing it.
Another Cabinet Minister-But
there would be the question of chair
man-how could that be settled
Would they be willing to have Pack
ard as their chairman
Governor Warmoth-So far as
Packard is concerned, it would make
no difference whether he was chair
man or not; the main object is the
union of the party.
President Grant-It seems Cover
nor, that you arc very liberal.
Warmoth-f the Custom House
officers are equally so we can have but
little to fear; all will go on splendid
ly.
Senator West-It is very desirable
that the party in Louisiana should be
united, and now is the time to secure
that end. You, Mr.. President, and
yon, Governor, can arrange this mat

How the Indians Catch Eagles.

The son of physician of Dubuque, who
is now stationed Mt Fort Buford, Dacotah

father giving some interesting items with
regard to Indians. An extract is append
ed:
The camp Of Indians which we visited
were chiefly engaged in catching war
eagles to make head dresses. They have
a wooden lodge built in their camp where
the medicine ceremony necessary TO eaten

and mass out at the north door. Wash

A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DANDRUrF. -
The following, from an article In the Amert-
can Journal Of Pharmacy, written by Jno.
l.. Davis, is of interest to those who are
troubled with dandruff in the hair:
"There are doubtless few persons, cs-
pecially among gentlemen, who do not
suffer from the Inconvenience of dandruf.
Physicians seem to consider it not Of suffis
cient Importance to engage their attention,
and the poor victims are left either to pfacs
tice their virtue ofendurance, or for a cure.
to try some of the many nostrums adverS
tised in the public prints.
The intolerable itching which frequently
accompanies the troublesome complaint is
not the only unpleasant feature, as to per.
sons OF any pretentions to neatness the APP
pearance of the white scales on the coat
! collar and shoulders is very Objectionable.
The writer, during number of years,
tried the different alcholic solutions of cas-
tor oil and many other preparations with
out permanent benefit, and as last resort,
was led to adopt the plan of cleansing the
scalp with borax and carbonate of potassa.
This proved effectual, but after q persistent
of some months the hair became sensibly
thinner. and perhaps would have soon dis
appeared altogether. The belief that dam
drutf arises from disease of the skin, al
this point, and the knowledge that the use
of sulphur is frequently attended with very
happy results in such diseases, induced ma
to try it in my own case. a preparation
of one ounce Of flowers Of sulphur and one
/ quart of water was made. The clear liquid
was poured off, after the mixture had been
repeatedly agitated during intervals of n
few hours, and the head was saturated with
this every morning.
In few weeks every trace of dandruff
had disappeared, the hair became soft and
glossy, and now, after dscontinuance of
the treatment for eighteen months, there ia
no indication of the return of the disease.
do not pretend to explain the modus oper-
dndi of the treatment, for it is well known
that sublimated sulphur is almost or wholly
insoluble, and the liquid used was destitute
of taste. color or smell The effect speaks
for itself. Other persons to whom it has
been recommended have had the same re-
sults, and l communicate the result of my
experiments in the belief that it may be
valuable and acceptable to many who have
suffered in the same manner as myself"

HoMELY GrRLs-IIow did that homely

HoMELY GIRLs.-IIow did that homely
woman contrve to get married Is not
unfrequently remarked of some good do
nestle creature whom her husband regards
as the apple of his eyes, and in whose plain
face he sees some thing better than beauty.
Pretty girl who are vain OF their charms
are rather prone to make observations OF
this kind and concous of the fact that
flowers of loveliness arc often left to pine
on the stem while weeds of homeliness 60
off readily, is no doubt in many cases tho
bottom of the sneering questions. The
truth is, that most men prefer homeliness
and amiability TO beauty and caprice.
Handsome women are sometimes very hard
to please--They are apt to overyalue Them
selves, and in waiting for immense bid oc-
casionally over step the market. Their
plain sisters on the contrary, aware oftteir
personal deficiencies generally lay them
selves out to produce an agreeable impress
sion, and in most instances succeed. They
don't aspire to capture paragons with
princely fortunes, but are willing to take
any thing respectable.
