Simple Remedy for Dandruff..

We copy this from an article by J.
l.. Davis in the american Journal of
Pharmdcy:
There are doubtless few persons,
especially among gentlemen, who do
not suffer from the Inconvenience of
dandruff. Physicians seem to consider
it not of sufficient Importance to en-
gage their attention, and the poor vic
tins are left either to practice their
virtue of endurance, or for a cure, to
try some of the many nostrums adver-
tised in the public prints.
The intolerable itching which fire.
qnently accompanies the troublesome
complaint, is not the only unpleasant
feature, as to persons of any preten-
sions to neatness, the appearance of
the white scales OH the coat collar and
shoulders is very Objectionable.
The writer, during a number of
years, tried the different alcoholic So
lutions Of castor oil and many other
preparations without permanent ben
eft, and as q last resort, was led to
adopt the plan of cleansing the scalp
with borax and carbonate of potassa
This proved effectual, but after per-
sistent treatment of some months the
hair became sensibly thinner, and
perhaps would have soon disappeared
altogether. The belief that dandruff
arises from disease of the skin, al
though physicians do not seem to
agree on this point, and the knowledge
that the use of sulphur is frequently
attended with very happy results in
such diseases, induced nle to try it my
own case. A preparation of one
ounce flour of sulphur and one
quart of water was made. The clear
liquid was poured off, after the mix
ture had been repeatedly agitated dur
ing intervals of few hours, and the
head was saturated with this every
morning.
In few weeks every trace of dand-
ruff had disappeared, the hair became
soft and glossy, and now, after dis
continuance ofthe treatment for eigh-
teen months, there is no indication of
the return of the disease. / do not
pretend to explain the madus Ope1undi
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 effects speak for itself.
Other persons to whom it has been
recommended have had the same re-
suits, and l communicate the results
of my experiments in the belief that
it may be valuable and acceptable to
many who have suffered IN the same
manner as myself.

how poorly its inmates are clad; if
true hearts dwell there, it is yet a
home; a cheerful, prudent wife, obe-
dient and affectionate children, will
give possessOrs more real joy than
bags of gold and windy honors. The
home OF temperate, industrious and
honest man will be his greatest joy.
He comes to it weary and worn, but
the music of the merry laugh and the
happy voices of childhood cheer him.
A plain but healthy meal awaits him.
Envy, ambition and strife have no
place there, and with clear con-
science he lays his weary limbs down
to rest in the bosom of his family, and
under the protecting care of the poor
mans friend and helper.

Wonderful Fire ExtinguiSher.
We copy this from the Chicap

We copy this from the Chicago
Post of January Oath:
Yesterday was quite notable day
in the annals of the city-especially
| to those who are interested in the var
iOus methods of subduing fires. There
was very successful exhibition test
of the Babcock Self-Acting Fire En-
gine given yesterday afternoon, un-
der the auspices of the Chicago Fire
Insurance Patrol, Captain Ben Bull
wlnkle, before members of the Board
OF Fire and Police, Common Council,
Mayor and Aldermen of Clinton, Iowa,
Alderman Norton, of Fulton, illinois,
| Trustees from Evanston and other
| towns, who, one and all, pronounced
it an unqualified success, and mani
tested lively satisfaction with its per-
formance. The rapidity with which
| this little machine grappled with the
flame and conquered it, was certainly
| very marvellous, and its instantaneous
victory was greeted with unbounded
astonishment.
The combustibles consisted of g.
building twenty feet long, fifteen feet
wide, and seventeen feet high filled
| with two wagon loads of tar barrels,
two of paclling-boxes, and two of
shavings, the whole saturated with
forty-two gallons of petroleum. When
this ultra -int1ammable pile was light
ed, it flashed up in terrible fame.
which, famed by a stiff breeze, drove
back the spectators, and seemed ito
have seized the barrels for its own.
But the Babcock engine went in and
tackled it.
Well, dear reader, we don't like to
tell how quick that little sputtering
machine put out that immense fire.
You will be incredulous. But unless
all the watches were wrong and all
the spectators crazy, that eonhagra
tion was completely out in ten seconds
not a vestige left. Were it not for
the Evening Posts wide reputation
for veracity, we should hesitate to
state the fact, for it is almost incred-
ible. The fire was again lighted and
again extinguished; and so a third
time; the machine proving itself
equal to any encounter.
We do not exactly know how the
thing works. There is a tin cylinder,
glass bottle full of sulphulic acid,
and leaden bucketful of some sort of
powder (not blasting POWDER; then,
when there is a fire, the two are poured
together; there is a fizz and splutter,.
and mysterious concoctien of al
chemy shoots through the nozzle, and
the fire lies down in the most docile
manner. We have inquired, and as
certained that it will extinguish fires
even where there are no tar boxes or
kerosene oil poured on. Anybody
can carry the machine who can tote
carpet-bag, and anybody can operate
it who knows enough to hang pair OF
of stockings on q clothesline.

THE SWEETNESS OF HoME.-He who
has no home has not the sweetest
pleasure of life; he feels not the thou
sand endearments cluster around that
hallowed spot to fill the void of his
aching heart, and vile away his leis-

find a friendly welcome from hearts
beating true to your own. The

smile of appreciation when Others

been learned that the National Demo-
crat Executive Committee will not
meet uutiI after the Philadelphia con-
vention, to decide when and where
the National Democratic Convention
shall be held. 1t thus proposed to ad-

the plans and purpose of the Republi-

are fully developed, and it is there
fore maintained there is ample time
for the committee to call the Demo-
cratic convention as late as August,
and thus give "A full opportunity for all

of the present administration to unite
in opposition to the Presidential ticket.
This view of the course to be pursued
meets with the approval, it is under
stood, of many of the Democrats in

No doubt the Massachusetts, liquor
law is serious matter, but there are
some grim humorists in that State who
can extract a practical joke out of its
workings occasionally. A State con-
stable came prowling around the
house of a man in Southbridge the
other day, when the latter offered him
bribe if he would spare o wood-pile
in the cellar. The upright officer
spurned the offer with righteous indig-
nation, and overhauled the store of
fuel with much labor, to find-that
he had been sold without a license.

LAW AND ORDER TRIUMPHANT
fhe Springfield Republican of the
dwenty-seventh of january contained
another evidence that the editor OF
that able journal fully understands
tfpe Louisiana trouble:
For the last four days everything
Ilas femained quiet at New Orleans !:
the BITTER Legislative struggle seems
to have ended, with complete VIC
tory Tor Governor Warmoth at all
points. Carterite members of the
Senate are back in their seats, and the
House members of that faction have
appeared and asked for permission to
return, which has been granted, ex-
cept III the case of Garter and several
OF his chief abettors. The House has
passed resolution ratifying the action
OF the extra session in expelling Car
ter aAd electing Brewster Speaker
III his place, and the courts have
strengthened Warmoth's position by
declaring that the assemblage over
which Carter has pretended to preside
had no legal authority. Governor
Warmoth is certainly very far from
being model official, but in the COM
piications of the last few weeks he has
represented tho side of law and order,
and his triumph is therefore matter
'or consratulation.

It is said that multifarious reading
weakens the mind more than doing
nothing, for it becomes necessity at
last, like smoking, and an excuse for
the mind to lie dormant whilst thought
is poured in, and runs through clear
stream over unproductive gravel, on
which not even mOsses grow. 1t is the
idlest of idleness, and leaves more of
impotency than any other.

AFTER THE SNOW.

The city yesterday was in that pleasant condi-
tlon for all wayfarers when is usually to be en-
joyed after one Of those "beautiful" snow storms
that set the blood up to our heads In merriness
and set US all mad about sleighs and the iollness
OF snowy recolections. Poetic fancy is very good
In Its way, and the beautiful snow Is In the alb
stract beautiful thing. But slush is slush. The
condition Of the city after snow storm, 1t is un-
necessary to say, is one Of slush; and the happy
horn OF the dilemma stares out that If IL were not
one OF sush IL would have been one OF ice, on
which locomotion would be extremely precarious.
II IS, therefore, perhaps matter OF congratula-
tion that there was no frost yesterday morning or
we should have had during the day series OF bone
fractures caused by falls on the sidewalks. There
was however, the usual growing and msan thropic
opinion current upon the state OF the weather, and
temporary Indignation found no dlmnution In its
acerbity Ov the feeling Of fellowship which the evi-
dence Of the eyes suggested from the surerings OF
ones neighbor. The day Ia the streets was one OF
those peculiarly New York days after a snow storm
that Is familiar from long experience; that hurts
nobody seriously, though the cause OF serious an
noyances and inconvenience.

David Lchtenstein In March, 1871, married
Phebe Hart. According to her story they did not
live very harmoniously, he, as she says, being not
only insaneIy jealous Of her. but calling her most
0pprObrious names and In various ways ill-using
her. For these reasons she left him about year
after their marriage and subsequently brought
suit for limited divorce. At preliminary hear
ing some time ago before Judge Leonard. Of
the Supreme Court, he was ordered to pay So
. week alim0ny and SIS counsel fee. This
order, IL appears, was not compiled with, ana
tile result was the arrest OF Lichtenstetn for
contempt Of Court 0nd his lOdgment In Ludlow
Street Jail, where he is still confined. mo-

the nature OF the business OF his client THAT OF
perfumery AGENT cut or his income while In prie

to his liberty. Mr.. William Y. Howe, who appeared
for Mrs. Lichtensten based his reply entirely upon
the legal points involved In the case. He claimed
that the orIer was perfectly regular ana that 1t
could not be set aside upon the grounds claimed,
but only upon the ground Of irregulariy. lie cited
