his head aud fact being bare, halter about
his neck, and holding in his hand lighted
torch to ask pardon Of God, the king, and
of Martin and his wife, to walk through the
streets with rope around his neck, and final
ly to be hanged and strangled, and his body
to be burned"
He was carried back to Antiques. where
ths Judge tho condemned him examined him.
He then made a long confession. lie had
known Gusrre in the army. and had many
conversations with him. On his return from
camp he was mistaken by some OF Martins
friends for Martin himself. This suggested
to him the plan which he afterwards carried
out. He crammsd himself with facts in
Ma, tins history, and went to Antiques to
enact one of the most successful cheats ever
known. He WAS executed according to sem
tence, and died with apparent penitence.
Were it pot for the cu!prit's acknowledg-
ment of his guilt we should regard 1T as per-
haps an open question whether the one or
two-legged Martin was the genuine husband
Of Bsrthsnds. If she pronounced two iudg-
meuts she was as likely to be mistaken in
the second as the first, while the radical
change of ssind on the part of other witnesses
renders their infallibihty equally suspicious.
The lessen of the whole story is that it re-
quires a wise son to know his own father /;
wisdom is also essential to other recoguitions
of relationship.

A LOCK OF WAsHINGToN's HAIR-Gen
j. II. Hobart, of this place. is in possession
of a precious relic, which he exhibited to US
on Saturday last. 1t is q lock of Gen. Wash~
ington's hair, cut from the head of the
Father of his Country" when he was forty
years of age. Tbs hair is a golden brown
curl, and although it was clipped from the
head upon which it grew one hundred years
ago. it is still unladed. and looks as fresh as
ever. The paper in which it is preserved is
labsIed-"Presentsd by Mrs. E. Lewis to
VIM. Ramsey" aad we learn from Mr.. Ho
bart that VIM. Ramsey, who was a relative
of his family presented it to the late Mrs.
Nathaniel z. Hobart. in whose possession it
had been many years. Mrs. Hobart resided
in Alexandria. Virginia. when little girl
and recollscted Washington and his family
very well. The lock of hair came to Mrs.
Lewis from the Custis family. by whom its
genuineness had been vouched for. Now
that Washington has been dead nearly
thrss-quarters of a century. and his remains
have long since mouldered away in the
tomb at Merut Vernon, any menento of
the great, and goo1, and wise hero and
statesman, must of course be precious in the
eyes of any person who rsveres his msmery.
And it is thus that our patriotic friend Con.
Hobart values this little lock of hair.-Potts-

A STREET CAR INCIDENT. Augustus
stepped upon the car that rolled along the
street, last evening, in the dim light, and
gently took bis seat. There was lady
in the car whose face was bright and fair,
and eyes that glanced at our Gus, and he
returned the stare The hour was late,
no passeueers were in the car but these.
The lady passed her ticket up, Gus took
it. elf you please and dropped it into
the box, bu: not till he had pressed in gen.
tie warmth the little hand in purple rat
skin dressed. The car rolled on, Gus
smole a smile, and slid along the seat, un-
cushioned and as cold as ice-it might
have been red hot, SO far as Gus s thoughts
were ont, for his heart was in flame,
and by the gods of lore, We own, Gus
wasn't much to blame. Some loving
words were spoken low, so low none else
could hear, the twining arms aone else
could see for there were none else near,
except the driver, and what odds did the
business make to him, since the fares were
paid and the passengers were doing moth
ing Grim. The car rolled on, then stopped
all at once, and bang went the back door.
In sprang the driver with one bound and
an awful oath he swore, and collared Au
gusts, dragged him out, and kicked him
off the car. While the sounds Of the
scuffiing filled the night, as the sounds of
a midnis hit war. "Why," gasped Angus
tus, s'my fare is paid; this beats me, upon
my life.' "Let me ketch you again."
the driver roared, "a foolin' with my
wife"

CLOS, and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deletelious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

The Comic Grammar" says:

The Comic Grammar" says:
Remember. though box
In the plural makes boxes.
The plural of OK
Should be oxen, and not "sxss."
To which some one adds:
And remember, though fleece,
Ia the plural is heecss,
That the plural Of goose
Isn't "gooses" nor ''geeses."
Another:
And remember, though house
In the plural is houses,
The plural of mouse
Should be mice, and not "mouses.
Another:
All of which goes to prove
That grammar a farce is,
For where is The plural
OF rum and molasses.
Another:

OF run, don't us trouble;
Take one glass too much.
And you're sure to sec double.

ALLEGED BURGLARS ARRESTED
A man named Samuel johnson and n
woman who gives her name as Mrs. Hodge
were arrested at the entrance to the Amer.
can Hotel, about noon to-day, by Detective
Jack Wren. The arrest was made on the
authority of telegram from the chief of
police of Charleston, charging these parties
with burglary and larceny. They had lust
arrived in the city by Southern train. and
were preparing to take up their quarters at
the American when the officer invited
them to take lodging at the First Police
station. They will probably be called for
soon by those who want them in Charles
ton, but will probably be taken
before Justice White Tomorrow
morning for official commitment to
await requstion from the authorities of
South Carolina. 1t is said that Mr.. John
son has wife and children in Savannah.
and that Mrs. Hodge is the lawful wife Of
another man, also Of Savannah, by whom
she has several children; and it is sup
posed that the travellers are "sffinities',
sentlmentally and pecuniarily. The specific
charges against the parties have not trans.
pred, but we shall learn more about the
affair. johnson is about fifty years old, |
the woman being few years younger.

CITY DEBT.-Mayor Kelley, in his last
annual message, says that the "record of
the City Council show that during the past
year measures involving the increase of the
public burdens by hundreds of thousands
of dollars have passed that body without
more time in the consideration than is ex-
pended upon matters of mere routine.n
The citizens of Richmond are now called
upon to indorse or rebuke this reckless ex-
travagance. They are called upon to say
whether the men who have increased the
debt of the city nearly million and half
are to be retained as councilmen. with
power still further to add to our burdens
or shall give place to more prudent men.
Let not the mere question of party suprem-
acy prevent our people from condemning
this criminal waste of the public money at
such a critical period, and secure
thorough reform in the city government.

FIRE THIS MORNING.-This morning
about twenty minutes past three o'clock.
a llre broke out in the cooper-shop of Will
liam Nj. Jackson, OH Seventh street, be-
tween Main and Cary. The building. a
frame, was quickly enveloped in flame and
wholly consumed, together with its con-
tents, consisting of stock, tools, &c. A
large quantity Of timber, slaves. &C.. in
the back yard was also DESTROYED. jackson
owned the building. His loss will proba-
bly, reach $500; insured for 81 500
in the Continental Insurance company. The
fire communicated to little frame shantv
on the north side, which was occupied by
woman named Ushlam, we believe, as a
dwelling and female clothing store, which
was also quickly destroyed, with
most OF its contents. North of this
stood the two-story brick carpenter shop
OF K. b. Woodward, which also took fire
and was burned down, nothing but the
walls remaining. A large portion of the
stock and tools were saved. This building
we are informed belonged to Charles
Phillips; insured for 81 900 in the Rich
mond Banking and Insurance Company
loss not ascertained. The alarm was
sounded from box 25, corner of Canal and
Seventh streets, but such was the inhamma-
ableanature of the structure, that the fire OBJ
tanned good headway before the engines
could get to work. The buildings fronting on
Main street, above and below Seventh
street, owing to the direction of the wind.
were Tor time in great peril, but the
fames We're speedily gotten under control
and further damage prevented. There
seems to be no doubt that the fire was the
work of an incendiary.
