Every year increases the populari-
~ ofthis valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due TO merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
on FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silkcn.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all cruptions
and dandrun, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents tho hair from falling
out, rs it stimulates and nourisllcs
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor and
will create n new gsowth, cxcept in
extreme old age. Ii is the most eco
nomical Ham DRESSING ever used,
rs it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair n splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer OF Massachusetts, says,

The English Attorney General in the

Correspondence of the Cincinnati liazette.l
The attorney general commenced his opening
for the defense in tue richborne case on the 18Th,
and is still on his legs.
Sir John Coleridge is one of the most charm
ing speakers in England. Indeed, there are not
six speakers in England who can approach him
in the fine arr OF being charming in public adj
dress. He has none of the English hesitation
and ah-ah-ing which scr you almost distracted

graceful. Some oil thea are absolutely awk-
ward. But there are not three meu in Great
Britain who can make a graceful gesture, while
there are not three men in Italy who cannot.
The attorney general has also a first rate bod
ny presence and plenty of what the French
dramatic critics call dpi0Dlb. He is thoroughly
seh-possessed. His tall erect, well proportional
hIure Is kept as steady as a ship in a tranquil
99a MS lace Is unobstructed by whiskers, and

WIZ rainier becomes him, which is more than

said such demonstrations could not be allowed.
The attorney general, with the utmost Sdnq
froj5 resumed in Il tone of apology saving his
words were the strongest he could think of but
they should be followed by stronger ones, II
such could be found in the language He would
proceed to lay before them hundreds of indis
putable facts, each convicting the plaintiff of
fraud, lie, a cnme tgreat dellberation) on a
scale of depth and wickedneSs hitherto unex-
ampled, as far as he knew, in the annals OF
their law courts.
As TO the character Of the claimant, Of course
the Jury had formed very de ,ided and very
low opinion. But that by itself Is not conclu-
sive. OF course, man may he a low, unmiti-
gated black9uard, and yet retain his personal
identity. But where the point of identity is to
be made out chiefly by the evidence of the plain
tiff himself, then il you cannot believe him upon
any other subject, how can you believe him
upon himself?
He gives brief narrative OF the career Of the
claimant, and says if he sounds iFOnical, il must
be remembered that such facts are ia themselves
irony complete The plaintiffs history as given
by himself, especially his history OF the ship
wreck, is held up to ridiculc in the most super
cilious manner. Some of the plaintiffs letters
are read, spelling aud all, and the 'B. Of B.
K" in one OF them is translated "Baronet of
the British Kingdom" amid rOars Of laughter.
Sir John proceeds TO compare the Slight, un-
der-sized, delicate, chivalrous, honorable, cult
waited Sir Roger with this enormous mass OF
flesh, this rascal who was tried for horse steal
ing, this common Australian thief for eight or
nine years, this low Tufilan-his French gone,

The ~Administration of Justice in New Yorl

The Administration of Justice" in New York
CITY, and in some other parts of the country,
may be studied with benefit by those interested
in the wonders Of modern civilization. Some
villain perpetrates burglary or murder, and
Immediately there is a movement TO execute the
las which prescribes what shall be done with
him: but when the arrest has been made, there
begins determined, INSCRIPTIONS and persist
eut endeayor to prevent conviction. The ''prls-
oner's lawyers" contrive delays, buly the court
secure the disappearance of witnesses, can
vass the haunts Of villany for aid on the witness
stand, and scruple at nothing that may con-
found truth and shield the criminal. Instead of
aiming 70 secure a fair and honest trial, they do
their utmost to make the trial unfair and dis
honest, in order that crime may be protected
and encouraged. Should justice be fully adj
ministered, such lawyers would be tried and
punished as accessories after the fact;" and
they would deserve it even more than if they
had sheltered and concealed the criminal to
prevent his arrest. Look at the present pro-
ceediugs in New York city, in the Stokes case,
and in some other casesl What you see there is
called the administration of justice"

Bosrox, Feb. ~ ts-

pusloNs feh. 20, 1872
This has been busy and in some respects no.
table day al the state house. The most imnort.
ant event, probably, is the back down Of the
senate on the general railroad bill. The com
mttee Of conference met at noon, but came to
no agreement,.and Mr. Wakefield so reported
in the senate, Mr.. Wright, Of Reading the
gentleman whose constituents have made him
see things in another light since be voted for the
Wakefield amendment, moved that the senate
recede from its amendments. Mr.. Torrey, of
Fiiehburg, said there was no reason why the
senate should make concessions to the house
lie was in favor Of sticking to their ground, as
was Mr.. Wakefield also. Mr.. Thaycr, Of Wo' =
cester, said a few words in favor Of the
molten, and upon the taking of the
vote, was carried by vote Of eighteen to
seventeen. Therefore, unless the opposition is
able TO originate some new scheme against tue
bill the citizens Of Massachusetts will soon have
the liberty TO build as many railroads as they
plcase--always provided the governor signs the
OIL, which Is extremely probable. The senate
iook from the table and coucurrcd in the house
order relative TO the management of the state
prison. Orders were adopted iustruct,np com.

against naughty power, fierce ambition, insolent
threats, and death-meant blows
Resolved, that, grateful for the stern and stead
fast fidelity OF Mr.. sumner in behalf of truth and
right at that fearful period when on the side of the
oppressor there was power mighty and merciless;
persistent efforts for emancipation. we hail. with
one accord, as well as with new gratitude his re.
cent triumph over corrupt strategy under the guIsp
of mercy and with the plea of uiUersdE aane,fy 10

and fellow citizens at the south
Resolved, that we should be wanting in a true
and consistent gratitude, if we failed to deprecata
and rebuKe the obvious or the insiduous influences
too lndustriously used, both by the press and by
personal stealth, TO undermine the prestige of Mr.
sumner, ana thWart the progress of freedom ana
civilization; and that we should be unjust to our
selves and to humanity, if fail to use all honora-
bic means TO counterfeit such schemes of iaalonsv
south or north, IN this commonwealth or at our
own doors
Resolved, that the thanks of the country and of
mankind are due to Vice President Schuyler CoIfax
for rescuing by his casting vote the civil rights bill
and thus at once saving his Office from disgrace and
the imperiled honor of his country
Resolved, that a copy of the foregoing preambIe
and resolutions be- forwarded to the Honorable
Messrs. Sumner and Colfx, signed by the president
and secretary OF this meeting.
Whereas, we, the cOlOred people of Worcester in
public meeting assembled, have watched with deem
and hearty interest the of the southern ed
ucation bill, in the house of representatives and
realizing from our own personal experience ''when
in bonds with them" the measureless and priceless
need of the universal education OF race in the
south, we do, therefore, hereby tender to Hon. G.
&. Hoar our warmest and most cordial thanks for
his arduous and successful labors in securing the
passage in the house OF said bill.
