The CULTURE OF THE HAIR.-Just as
surely as a soil infested with Canadian
thistles can be made to produce fine
crops of golden grain, the scalp now
sparsely covered with harsh, dry, un-
manageable hair can be made prolific
Of silken tresses. All that is necessary
to effect the change in either case is the
right kind of fertilizer. Leaving the
agricultural chemists to determine how
the barren land shall be made fruitful,
we positively assert that Lyons Ka-
thairon is uuequaled as fertilizer and
beautifer Of the hair. Twenty-Five years
Of success is the basis Of this unquali-
fed statement. During that time it has
been used by many millions Of both
sexes, and the FIRST instance in which it
has failed TO fulfill the expectations Of a
rational purchaser has yet to be dis
covered. 1t will not cause hair to grow
on a vanished gourd, but wherever the
roots of the hirsute aheFS remain undis-
tuEbed it viii cause them to put forth
new shoots, and in all cases where the
hair has become thin it will increase its
volume. eod-dtw

pxnIorous ISSUE.

Theodore Tilton presents the features
of the German Catholic Scbism in the
following light: "The Old Catholics are
holding congress at Cologne. The oc-
casion is a critical one, and the future
of the new movement depends very
largely upon what it decides to do. DR..
Dollinger is a learned, wise and brave
man, and has a respectable following
The dercurrent of German sympathy
is unquestionably with him, and large
body of Italian Catholics would probably
Join an organization that is at once Cath
Ole and free. But just here is the difficulty.
Dollinger blames Luther for quitting the
church, and thus breaking the historic
continuity of its traditions. He evil
IDENTIFY intends to act the part OF Pro"
testant and reformer within the old
ecclesiasticism. But his very act OF
rebellion against the Papal authority
excommunicates him. He is, to all in
tents and purposes, as much an outsider
to-day as Luther was when he nailed his
thesis to the church door. The fact that
he still holds to a great deal of the old
Catholic doctrine, makes no difference
so long as he denies the central authority
and refuses obedience thereto. The diff
ficulty of the new movement is enhanced
nv the fact that those most interested IN
il are not sufficiently detached from Ro-
man dogmas and traditions to compre-
bend the entire situation, and squarely
meet the issues and satisfy the de-
mand of the new times. 1t they
have the courage to act, they lack the
light to see what to do. If they organ
ize. it will be as O new sect outside OF the
old fold. And if they turn their backs
from Rome, they must turn their faces
toward Reason. But how they can keep
all the old and get all the new, have
personal Pope and obey only the indi-
yidual conscience, follow the traditions
of the Church and the decisions of the
Councils and yet be true to the revela-
tons of truth made through science and
history and art and experience to-day,
are questions which they will find it very
hard to answer to their own satisfaction,
much less that of anybody else

THE OCTOBER ELEcrIONs.

Yesterday the State Of Georgia held
an election for Governor and members
of the Legislature, and will elect Con-
Oressmen on the 9TH of November. The
elections to be held during the present
month are: October 8: Pennsylvania
Governor, Legislature and Congressman;
Ohio-Secretary of State and Congress
men; Indiana = Governor, Legislature
and Congressman; Nebraska = Cover
nor, Legislature and Congressman; Da-
kota--Delegate in Congress; District OF
Observation-Disclosures in Congress. Octo-
Der l6: South Carolina-Gevernor, Leg
islature and Congressman. October "a:
West Virginia = Congressman. The
West Virginia election, October "a, is
by some held to have been forestalled by
the election of August %, and Congress
will have to settle upon the claim of the
rival delegations. Everything now tends
to the belief that Baekslew will beat
Hartranft RADICAL in Pennsylvania by
from ten to twenty thousand majority,
and Indiana is sure for Hendricks, Demo
cratic and Liberal candidate for Cover
nor. The bottom is dropping out OF the
Radical piratical ship in Pennsylvania,
Indiana ana Ohio, and the October elec-
tons frighten the GRANTEES TO death.
There is not a shadow of dependency
on the part of the Democrats and Libe-
raj Republicans in these States. They
stand firm and are confident Of succeas,
and with patriotic cheers are marching
onward toward victory.

The term Credit Mobilier,' so much
ventilated by the Eastern press in con-
nection with the Union Pacific railroad
directors, is a French phrase, and was
first used in France to signify an insti-
tuition for lending money on movable
securities, in contradistinctio to another
institution called the Credit Fancier,
which loaned money upon real estate

BEN BUTLER has been stumping lndi-
ana for some time as the administration
defender. To-day he will be in Louis
vile, Kentucky, fact that will create a
panic 10 the city; but the police will no
doubt do their duty and watch Benz amin
closely. The Courier-Journal insists
that Ben will not be permitted to seize
and ship private property to Lowell with
IMMUNITY, and if he does plant his bro
gans on the Southern soil, the latter will
make no fuss about the indignity, but
nevertheless will feel deeply. 1t may
be that cruel fate will instigate Benja
min to visit Tennessee on stamping
tour; if SO, the private property of oul
citizens will be in jeopardy.

TO COTTON PLANTERS.

The New York journals are turning
their attention to cotton culture, the
fleecy staple being the great product OF
the United States. The ravages by the
cotton caterpillar have created unusual
excitement in cotton circles East. A
leading journal offers the following in
formation and advice to the Southern
planter: THE cotton caterpillar, we
need scarcely inform our readers, is the
offspring of moth which deposits its
egg where the newborn Larvae can find
plentiful nourishment before they take
the nap from which they wake into
winged maturity. Evidently, therefore, If
Southern agriculturists would save their
crops from the ravages ofthese voracious
pests, it is better for them TO endesvor
to destroy the moth before its myriad
eggs are laid than to undertake the fu-
tile task of hunting out the nascent
larya themselves. To this end an inge-
NOUS planter some years ago adopted,
nlan which, we were informed at the
time. was as eficacious as it was simple,
consisting only in placing about his field
elevated torches, 10 which at night the
moths we're attracted, and in the blaze Of
which they inevitably committed self
destruction. Whether this device has
been tried and found to fail in other in
stances. or whether it is unused because
unknown. we cannot say; but we give it
new publicity under the latter SUPPOSE

KU-KLUX OU7RAGE-GREELEYISM
IN THE SOUTH.

A dastardly attempt was made on Friday
the DIST to mob Judge Settle, president OF the
Philadelphia convention, and others at re-
publican meeting at Milton, N. c. Colonel
M. F. Henderson, one of the speakers,
brought with him an American flag which he
raised over the stand. the first which had
been unfurled in tho town since the war,
but instead of their being shout of JOY and
gladness the whites began to grow ugly and
to show their contempt in every conceivable
way. The negroes, however, to a man, go.
beneath its folds and there they intended to
remain until the meeting should adjourn. At
eight o'clock the meeting was called to order
and officers chosen. Judge Settle came for
ward and began speaking. During the de-
livery OF his speech stones, pieces of birch,
rotten eggs and clods of earth were thrown
in upon the crowd promiscuous1y. The ku-
Klux attempted to scatter the meeting. Rot
missed their aim, injuring no one except a
prominent democrat, whose coat was ruined
by the collapse af an ancient egg. Finding
they could not break up the meeting in this
way the Ku-Klux began insulting the speakers
in the grossest manner, but in this also failed
of accomplishing their purpose, and the
meeting broke up with three cheers for Grant,
Caldwell, Settle and the republican party.
at Yanceyville, on the Saturday following, a
similar scene was enacted with similar results.

Colonel Mcclure, not single Republi-
can of prominence in Pennsylvania sup
ports Mr.. Greeley. Nor are there any
evidences whatever OF disaTection among
the Republican masses on the national
ticket. And as to the democrats, their
sentiment is shown by the fact that all OF
their papers, with scarcely an exception,
oppose the endorsement of Mr. Greeley,
The State may or may not be carried in
October. 1t is too early to make predic-
ton on that point. The present reasons
for distrust may be removed long before
that time. But even if it should be lost.
the reasons would be so obvious and so
plainly limited to the State ticket, that it
would have infinitely less effect than I'M
der ordinary circumstances. The State
has been lost in October and won in No
vember, even when there were no special
influences making such n distinction as
now exists, and there can be no solid
ground for doubt as to the result next
November in any contingency.
Those who imagine that Mr.. Greeley
can carry Pennsylvania forget that he has
renowned his advocacy of the tariff. that
be has expressly pledged himself TO use
no influence for protection but to sign any
measure which Congress may send him,
and that he is in alliance with those who
seek to elect Congress which will break
down the tariff policy. If they fancy that
this is to have no effect adverse to him in
Pennsylvania, they little know the temper
