was considerable excitement among the bank
e-e, merchants. and brokers. caused by the varl-
GUS reports which we're circu1ated relative to
the second arrest Of Gould, and its connection
with the Chicago + Northwestern corner
The story, as it gained circulation, was that the
Ere Company had determined to arrest Gould
again, that he might be held in greater bail
than $1,000,000. This WAS confradicted in
several quarters, but there seemed to be no
adequate grounds either for its assertion or de-
nial. Watson, the President of Erie, stated that
it WAS tho intention to have the bail made large
enough to in some way gnard against Gould'5
running away. That WIS his only object, and
totally disconnected with stock jobbing. Watson
thought that one million was sufficient bail for
the present, although he deprecated the custom
Of diminishing bail as the proportions Of de-
fa1cation increase.
There is much interest manifested concerning
the events Of tomorrow in Wall street, and the
anxiety in regard to the course Of the market is
intense.

MES taking at Nnuroo. in 1848, or at my other
time or place, any cath or other obligation to
obey Brigham Young OF his successors in all
things or in anything temporal or spiritual; de:
MES that he ever took IN oath Of disloyalty to
tho Government of the United States; denies
that he ever assorted that the revelation of po-
1ygamy is paramount to all human laws, or that
he would obey it rather than the laws Of any
country; denies living in violation OF the laws;
denies that Brigham Young or any other porson
influenced the election in any manner, and as-
serts that all voters exercised their own judg-
ment without fear or favor. Maxwell now
begins taking testimony. Great interest is felt
in all circles. The general impression is that

manity demand that they should take in hand
themselves the rescue? If by silence or apa-
thy they have seemed to yield acquiescence to
these courses, is there not greater reason now
for sounding an alarm that shall awaken the
whole country? If by permitting great po-
litical organization to be diverted to such base
uses, they have really endangered what that
was designed to save, does not true courage call
for severance? A distinguished colored ora
tor has passionately exclaimed that for his race
the Republican party was the deck-all else
the sea. But when the ship is headed upon
the breakers and the life-boat puts off, would
any but madman refuse its safety? Liberal
ism is that life-boat 1t has cut adrift from the
desperate venture on which Republication has
been driven, and @ers certain means of rescue.
Behold the deliverance it has already effected,
and trust confidingly to its further promise.
Consider likewise its noble platform, and you
will there detect nothing that does not breathe
a true spirit of reconciliation, nothing that
does not carefully guard the settlements of the
past, nothing that does not give assurance of a
pure government, exercising its functions
strictly within the limits of the Constitution.
And if, after careful scrutiny, you shall deem
it well to commit the Chief Magistracy of this
nation to that honest, patriotic statesman pre-
sented for your suffrage by the Liberal and
Democratic parties feel every confidence that
at the close of his Administration you will find
no lingering animosity of race or section to
mar the harmony of restored Union.

A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DANDRUFF.-lherc
are doubtless few persons, especially among
gentlemen. who do not suffer from the incon-
veniencc Of dandruff. Physicians seem not
to consider it of sufficient importance to en-
gage their attention, and the poor victims are
left either to practice their virture OF endur-
ance or for a cure to try some of the many
nostrums advertised in the public prints. The
intolerable itching which frequently accompa-
MES the troublesome complaint is not the only
unpleasant feature, as to persons of any pre-
tcntions to neatness the appearance of the
white scales on the coat-collar and shoulders is
very Objectionable. The writer, during num-
ber of years, tried the different alcoholic solu-
tions ofcastor oil, and many other preparations,
without permanent benefit, and last resort
was led to adopt the plan of cleaning the scalp
with borax and carbonate OF potassa. This
proved efectual but after persistent treat
ment of some months the hair became sens'by
thinner and perhaps would have soon dlsap.-,
pcared altogether. The belief that dandrutf
arises from disease of the skin, although ply
scians do not seem to agree on this point, and
the knowledge that the use of sulphur is ire
oucntly attended with very happy results in
such diseases, induced me to try it in my own
case. A preparation of one ounce of flour of
sulphur and one quart of water was made.
The clear liquid was poured of, after the ad-
mixture had been repeatedly agtated during
intervals of few hours, and the head was
saturated with this every morning. In few
weeks every trace of dandruf had disappeared,
the hair became soft and glossy, and now, after
a dscontinuancc of the treatment for eighteen
months there is no indication of return of
the disease. do not pretend to explain the
modus operandi of the treatment. for it is we'll
known that sublimed sulphur is almost or
wholly insoluble, and the liquid used was des-
titute of taste, color, or smell. The effect
speaks for itself-JournaI Of Pharmacy.

A FoRc1BLE ARGuMENr.-Many years ago,
up in the Green Mountains, Parson Shepherd
had deacon by the name of Tucker, who sat
just under the pulpit with the other deacons.
In those days the pulpit was not much larger
that martin box, and was high up the walls,
very near the ceiling, and just under it on the
floor sat all the deacons, as watchful and severe
as so many sentinels expecting an attack
Deacon Tucker was hard-working man during
the week, and dreadful prone to fall into slum-
bers Sabb bath days. Shepherd had often la
bored with the deacon, begging him to over
come his infrmity, but to no purpose, for Just
as soon as the sermon began Tucker would fold
his eyes in sleep and steal silently away. One
very warm day in June, as the parson was sow.
ing the Gospel broadcast in his earnest and
graphic manner over the congregation, his
eagle eyes rested ON the dreaming Tucker. He
stopped short in his discourse, and all eyes
were in an instant on the delinquent Tucker.
Raising the huge Bible high above his head,
and bending over the devoted deacon he spoke,
in awful tones: Deacon Tucker, if you won't
hear the word you shall feel it." and dashed
down on the slccper's head the ponderous vol
ume. 1t is due to Deacon Tucker, his heirs
and assigns to say that he never slept in church
after that
