A Card from Horace Greeley.
Since the Presidential election Mr.
Greeley hass issued the following:

oItCltN HISS lSStltu lDc lDllON ll0
The undersigned resumes the editor
ship Of the Tribune, which he relin-
pushed on embarking in another line
of business six months ago. Hence
forth it shall be his endeavor to make
this thoroughly Independent journal,
treating all parties and political move
ments with judicial fairness and candor,
but counting the favor and deprecating
the wrath of no one. If he can here
after say anything that will tend to
heartily unite the whole American peo-
pie on the broad platform of universal
amnesty and impartial suffrage he will
gladly do so. For the present, how
ever, he can best commend that con
summation by silence and forbearance.
The victors in our late struggle can
hardly fail to take the whole subject of
Southern right and wrongs into early
and earnest consideration, and to them,
for the present, he RENTS it. Since he
will never again be candidate for any
Office, and is not in full accord with
either Of the great parties which have
hitherto divided the country, he will
be able and will endeavor to give a
wider and steadier regard to the pro-
gress of science, industry and the use
full arts than partisan journal can do,
and he will not be provoked tn indul-
gence in these bitter personalities,
which are the recognized bane of jour
nalism. Sustained by generous pub
lie, he will do his best to make the
Tribune power in the broader field it
now contemplates, as when human
freedom was in peril it was the arena
of political partisanship.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this 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
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and niourishes
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 a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"'The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
Price One Dollar.

Shrinkage in Wool.

The Importance of a better system
of grading wool, by which dealers
may more accurately estimate the
shrinkage OF different heeces, is IL
lustrated by statement in the Nel0
York Sun, which says that a wool
manufacturer in Mottvile, that state,
gives an account OF a fleece which
was raised on farm near Skaneate-
les and sold as weighing 10 pounds
and 7 ounces, which was correct 20
far az the weight was concerned in
the condition in which it was sold,
But this fleece when properly wash
cd produced only 3 pounds 81 oun-
ces Of clean wool.
The 81 Louis Democrat tells of an
experiment made by dealer whc
took Il merino fleece weighing y
pounds, uhroled il and exposed it 70
the action Of the sun for three days,
at tho end Of which time but 10
pounds lie then washed it, with
out soap, just as sheep is washed
and it weighed but II pounds Fin
ally the fleece was picked apart and
secured with soap and soft ater,and
when dry the weight Of the fleece
was reduced TO . pounds,

Unhealthy Rooms.

A correspondent Of tho builder
states that ho had occasion for sew
eral years 20 examine rooms occu.
pied 10y young ladies for manufae-
turing purposes, and he has observ-
ca that while the workers in one
room would DO very cheerful and
healthy, the occupants Of y similar
room, who were employed on the
same kind Of business, were all in
olined to be melancholy, and com,
planned Of pain in the forehead and
eyes, and were often i'll and unable
to work. The only difference he
could discover in the rooms was that
the one occupied by the HEALTHY
workers was wholly whitewashed
and that occupied by the melancho
~ workers was colored with yellow
ochre. AS soon as the difference
struck him he had the yellow ochre
washed of the walls, and then whit-
ened. At once animprovement took
place in the health and spirits Of the
occupants.

THE HERALD
A Quaker Printers Proverbs


Never sendest thou an article for
publication without giving the editor
thy name, for thy name oftentimes
secures publication to worthless ar
ticles.
Thou shou4dst not rap at the door
of printing Office, for be that an
swereth the rap sneereth in his
sleeves and loseth time.
Neither do thou loaf about, ask
questions or knock down type, or
the boys will love thee like they
do shade trees-when thou leav-
eth.
Thou shouldst never read the copy
on the printers case, or the sharp
and hooked container thereof, or he
may knock thee down.
Never enquire thou Of the editor
for news, for behold it is bis BUSH
ness at the appointed time to give
it to thee without asking.
1t is not right that thou shouldst
ask him who is the author OF an ar
ticle, for it is his duty to keep such
things unto himself.
When thou dOst enter his office,
take heed unto thyself that thou
dost not look at what may be lying
open and concerneth thee not, for
that is not meet in the sight of good
breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet for it is not ready to meet
thine eye, that thou mayest under
stand.
Prefer thine own town paper to
any other, and subscribe for it imme-
diately.
Pay for it in advance, and it shall
be well with thee and thine.
