The Great Hair Producer.

Hair Oils, Pomatums and Pomades have had
their day. They belong to the musty past
Nobody that understands the chemistry of the
hair and the philosophy ofits growth thinks of
using them Instead of clogging the pores of
the Scalp with thick onguents, and thus OBJ
structing the insensible preparation which is es-
sential to the health of the fbers, We now tone
the surface Of the head with an invigorating APP
plicatiOn which penetrates to the roots of the
hair and stimulates them in the same way that
the fertilizing agents spead over the meadows
stimulate the grass roots and cause the blades to
spring up in myriads, coating the earth with
verdure. The invigorant best adapted to this
purpose is LYON's KATHAIRON. 1t may well
be called the JerterLizer Of the head. To the
barren scalp it communicates vegetative power.
If the hair is dropping out or becoming dry and
withered, it arrests the process of dilapidation
or blight. The hair thickens and becomes
glossy and flexible under its genial operation,
and as dressing it is unapproached by any pre-
paration that has yet been laid on the toilet OF
Fashion.
gzIs~If you desire rosy checks and a complex
ion fair and free from Pimples and BlOtc' es,
purify your blood by the use of DR.. Pierce 5
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t has no equal for
this purpose.

THE MASQUERADE.
Grand Bali At Turner IIall-A Phase OF
Nardi GrRs.
The Gay Maskers-A Motley Array of Char
acters and Costumes.

The Gay Maskers-A Motley Array of CHAR
acters and Costumes.
The Bal Masquo last evening, which was got
fen I'D under the auspices of the knoxville
Turn Verein, was one of the pleasant entertain
ments of the season. By 9 clock the
HALL WAS FILLED
with ladies and gentlemen in masks and clad
very fine, while others were comic and excited
the risiblitieS of the spectators by their gro
tesqueneSS
The GcrmanBand breathcd triumphant strains
of melody at the success of the evenings en-
ioyment, while Hodgson's Quadrille Band de-
lighted the dancers. 1t was sight worth be-
holding to note the contrasts manifested, and re-
freshed historical recOllections by seeing in the
10Th century a correct reproduction OF the FASH
ionable garb of centuries gone by. Neither was
history alone ransacked for characters, but my
tholOgy was searched to lend its aid for the car
nival.
At nine clock the masqueraders, who had
assembled in the parlOr of tho Franklin House
adjoining, marched into the hall, the band play
ing a march. After prOmenadng around the
room and offording all an opportunity of be-
holding the masks, Prof. Lowery, who was IN
costume, though not masked, called for part
ncrs for quadrillc,'' and pairing was executed
with rapidity that would make the little birds
hide their heads on traditional st. Valentine s
day, and soon the floor was filed with gay
couples bent on one common object of forget
ting the anXieties of every day life in the eve
ming enjoyment
The contrasts were striking, especially as seen
in the dance. The helmned Knight waltzed
with the peasant girl and Louis Napoleon bal
anced to a vender of pretzelS, while Lord Dun
dreary was "how-wiiied - at the familiarity of
sable wench. Spotted Tail was there with his
scalping knife and arrow, zealously guarding a
nymph from the approaches of an ape, while
in the next set might have been seen shaven
monk tripping the light fantastic with jaunty
yivandierro Harlequins and boot blacks,
priests, nuns and soldiers swelled the throng,
and Paddy from Cork, with the freshly import
ed cocknev. enjoyed themselves, though not at
H. expense of the canny Scot and his lasSie,
who represented the "land o cakes"
Major Gratz, and Messrs. BraDncr and jacques,
were appointed committee to award prizes,
which they did as follows:
Prize for the best comic mask-''Ihe RooS-
ter" L. NJ. Schlccr.
For the best gentleman mask, not comic
"MephistO, from the opera of Faust, n. Elher.
For the best lady mask-"Aurora," Miss
Fannie Hodgson.
Miss HodgsOn was awarded beautiful bo-
guet as prize; Mr.. Eifer q bottle of cham
! payne and Nr. Scheier ham.
The most outre characters were the Shanghai
! Cock, whose strut would have done honor to
Gallus himself, and the perambulating Ger
man Windmill, which did very we'll for high.
The majority of the characters were comic
! though some OF the costumes were extremely
