4 New York paper gives the following
account Of an eccentric Brooklyn peddler,
who is reported to have acquired immense
wealth by vending straw in small quanti-
ties and who still continues 80 ply his
trade:
Old Wright, the straw man, is charac-

poorer class of the population to make straw
beds. Sixty-tiVe Years OF age, or there
abouts, he is still strong and active. He

to the man. His overcoat is of blue cloth,
with double cape He wears a straw hat

pears to be well cared for, and is probably
the only horse in the city that has not had

Old. or has an immunity from contagious
diseases on account Of his mode OF lite, it Is
difficult to say. The harness covering his
horses back is composed of small pieces of
leather, rope and bits of chain. Old Wright
lives down in the meadows foot OF Tenth
street, Brooklyn, III an old shanty, CON
structed by himself. He has acquired great
riches by mears Of his industry and miserly
habits. His property, composed of lots and
small houses erected on them, scattered all
over Brooklyn, is variously estimated as

Z washington speclaI says:
The United States marshal az New Or
leans made application to the President by
telegraph, on Saturday last, for troops to
aid him in arre5ting certain persons who
were conspiriDg against the election laws,
and who manifested an intention to resist
the federal authorities. The President
promptly refused to comply with this re

formation showing that the civil authorities
were powerless to execute the laws and
punish those who attempt to violate them.

The Austin, Texas, journal says:
We had the pleasure of call to-day from
Colonel Young, OF St. Louis, who is enc Of
the most energetic and principal men of che
Atlantic and Pacific railroad, the course Of
which is through the northern portion Of
our State, passing through the panhandle
lands via Aberkerkie to the Pacific coast
This road, owned as it is by some Of the
best and weaIthiess railroad men Of the
country, and aided by heavy subsidy from
the national government, is being built with
amazing rapidity, and in three years time
it will reach the Pacific coast. The company
last winter secured a charter from the
Legislature of this State for branch to
run from Sulphur Springs, in Hopkins coun-
the charter, though, we believe, it had no
subsidy. We are informed by Colonel
Young that the company will this, winter
ask tor a charter over this route, and that
the road will be rapidly built should the
charter be granted, and which, we believe,
the interests of the section of country
through which it will pass demands.

EssNSsSs HAIR


Every year increases the popularl-
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 70 its youthful color,
making it soft, Ipstrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eiuptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal yigor, 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 a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,

Missouri IRON MoCNTAINs-Profes
sor Watcrhouse, in a recent paper on the
of Missouri, gives the following
description of the iron mountains for
which the State is famous: Sheppard
mountain is GO feet high. The ore con-
tains a large per centage Of iron. The
height of Pilot Knob above the Missis-
sippi river is Lis feet. Its base, 5S1
feet from the summit, is $50 acres. The
upper section of lac feet is judged to con-
tain $4,000. 900 tons of ore. The eleva-
ton of Iron Mountain is228 feet. and the
area at its base 500 acres. The solid
contents of the cone are 230, 000, 900 tons.
1t is thought that every foot beneath the
surface will yield 100000 tons of ore.
At the depth of 15O feet the artesan augur
was still penetrating sold ore. These
mountains contain enough ore above the
surface to afford for 200 years an annual
supply of 100000 tons. The iron is
strong, tough and fbrous."
