CARE OF THE HAIR.-Frequent brush
ing, and washing once week with q
teaspoonful of liquid ammonia in s.
bowlful of warm water, is said to be the
best treatment possible for the hair. If
any stinulant is required, half an ounce
of dry ammonia, rubbed into pint OF
olive oil, is the finest dressing to be
made, and prevents hair from turning
gray, if anything will; and urges its
growth.

people believe an opponent a scoundrel be-
cause he differed politically with me. And,
after nearly twenty years participation in
public life at Washington, am glad that
can say that the Republicans and Democrats
with whom have been associated there are,
in the aggregate and on the average, gentle
men Of quite as high character and of as much
personal worth as those we meet and asso-
ciate with in our respective communities at
home. Of course, there have been and are
bad men, unworthy men, amongst them, as
there have been and are in all our cities and
villages throughout the land. But, as hon
orable men, they can be ranked, at the least,
with the membership of the thousands of
Grant clubs and Greeley clubs all over the
Union, and not be at all dishonored by the
comparison. A sad day it will be for the
country when It's millions believe otherwise,
and feel that they have more reason than
campaign charges to believe their public men
are swindlers and knaves. And it will not
DO long until (the excitements of this canvass
having passed away the American people
generally will rejoice that the fifth of No
vember proved so clearly that, in what should
have been a campaign of high principle, cal
umny did not paw
