THE HUMAN RooF AND IT'S TnArcHING.-If
the man deserves well of his country who
makes two blades of grass grow where only one
grew before, surely he who produces a glorious
crop of hair on comparatively barren scalp,
deserves the hearty thanks of the obliged party
All honor, therefore, to PROFESSOR E. I. LY-
ON, for, unquestionably, his renowned KATH-
AlRoN sccomplishes this object. Gentlemen
whose whiskers are shy of making their ap-
pearance in force, or the fibres of whose NOUS
taches disclose those magnificent distances"
for which Washington City was once so famous,
will find this HAIR PERsUADER the most won
derful encourager of fbrous development that
has ever yet been invented. Both sexes are
advised to use it, as, by all odds, it is the best
article for improving the growth and beauty of
the hair, keeping it free from scurf and dan
druff, preventing it from becoming harsh, dry
and gray-giving it a rich gloss and endowing
it with flexibility-that Toilet Chemistry has
ever evolved from the vegetable kingdom.

Among the curious things connected with
the Goldfish is the frequency with which large
stones are found in the stomachs. These are
of various sizes, sometimes, in large fish,
weighing many pounds, and it is popular be-

just before storm for the purpose of an
choring themselves during the expected swell

he invariably locks his stable door when the
horse has been stolen. This sort of wisdom
never thinks about bodily health until it is
gone. But just as much as any disease has be-
come seated, the power of the system to resist
and throw it off is weakened; hence time is all
important For dyspepsia, all diseases of the

THE GOLDEN LION OF GRANPERE. BY
Anthony Trollope.
This is one of the best of the later writings
of this favorite author. The story of the
innkeeper's family, at Granpere is told in
the usual pleasant style of Mr.. Trollope, and
as the scene is laid in Alsace and Lorraine
the local surroundings of course give an ad-
ditional interest to narrative interesting in
itself. The characters are all well drawn,
with the minuteness of detail and kindly
knowledge of human nature which is SC
characteristic of the author 1t is some.
thing new forMr. Trollope to leave the scenes
of English society of which he has written
so much, but we think that he bids fair to be
equally successful in new fields, and the pub

doubt, be one of the results of his stay in
that country.

THE most faithful lover who has a name
and being outside of trashy novels, lives in
Danbury, Conn. The parents of the young
lady are opposed to the companionship, but
it doesn't make him proud. Sometimes the
old gentleman reaches him with his boots be-
fore he can get over the fence, but the young
man doesn't lay up ill-feelings on account of
that; he only smiles at the despoiler of his
pantaloons when he meets him, and calls it
''heaping Goals of fire on his head" One
evening he thought he would get up sur
prise for the old chap. He put paving stone
in each of his coat tail pockets, and started
for the fence, as usual. The old gentleman
let out for him-caught him good. Then he
laid down on the grass and said 81 die by
the hand of an assassin" But the youns
man passed on without word, and smiled
the most heavenly smile of forgiveness eve
seen on the street.

The editor of the vivacious Atlanta Weekly
has come to grief, as follows: ......
We have dismissed our funny man. Would
that we could recall him-but entreaties,
tears and a forty-horse-power steam elevator,
wouldn't bring him back again. He has gone
over to the opposition paper, and jeers at us
with the triumphant malevolence of fiend
incarnate. This is the way il all happened.
One day we made mild joke, and were much
elated in consequence. 'It's perfectly easy
to be funny" we thought-'tand as the run
ming expenses of the Weekly are rather large,
we'll dismiss our professional humorist and
be our own funny man." So we tried it.
We printed the witticism already alluded to,
and imagined, in our pride, that there were
plenty more of the same sort where that came
from. We sat with pen suspended over a
sheet of paper, and look as much like Ten
nyson, waiting for inspiration as we could get
up. We took down the dictionary, the Con-
cordance to Shakespeare, Tupper's Proverbal
Philosophy and Mrs. Hemans' poems We
stared at them-there was nothing funny
about them-and the longer we gazed, the
sadder we felt. Any man that can write up
any subject less severe than the Baltimore
Convention, will please apply at our office.

Zone never thinks of calling man a blue
stocking now; yet it was a man who first
wore "cerulean hose" in fashionable as
sembly,-Dr. Stillingneet, who was a sloven
as well as scholar. Admiral Boscawen,
glancing at his gray-blue stockings, worn at
one of Mrs. Montague's assemblies, gave it
the name of the blue-stocking assembly, to
indicate that the full dress, still indispensable
to evening parties might be dispensed with,
if person so chose, at Mrs. Montague's. A
