Every year increases the populari-
tv 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 to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
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 vigor, 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 splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and 1 consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

A CALIFORNIA BRIDE.-The Visalia
correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin says:
A curious phenomenon confronted
me while in Inyo county last week,
and which by accident forgot to men
ton in my previous letter. The phe-
nomenon is child bride, a wife now,
at the mature age of IL, who has lived
in the conjugal state for three years or
more. This child, to make the matter
more strange still, is the wife of a man
near so years old, or more than four
times her senoir. How any person of
authority ever consented to unite these
two is a mystery I confess my inability
to penetrate. But somebody was
found, that much is certain, and the
strange knot was legally and properly
tied. Mrs. Lou Peyson, the little ma
tron, is very small even for her age,
wears short dresses, and conducts her.
self in most manners precisely as the
child she is. She is intelligent, how
ever; has nimble tongue; and is quite
ready of speech. l am told that the
twain do not get along together re-
markably we'll, but it is difficult to con-
ceive how it could be otherwise
Whenever Peyson happens to offend
anybody the singing sarcasm is flung
at him that if he does not mend his
speech the offended party will lure his
wife away with stick Of sugar candy.
Fancy what sarcasm this with which
to offend and crush a middle-aged and
proper Benedict! am told by parties
in Mrs. Peyton's confidence that she
has made covenant with herself to
gouge out her amiable liege's eyes as
soon as her little fingers are strong
enough. I had nearly forgotten to
mention that Lone Pine is the habita-
ton of this infelicitous and ill-assorted
couple.

70 The Boston Herald reports that
a dispatch has been received in that
city from Washington which says:
A gentleman who called on Senator
Sumner this morning found him bust
ly engaged in the preparation Of a let
les in reply to one received by him,
signed by one hundred colored men,
asking his advice as to how they
should vote at the coming presidential
election. The Senator in his reply,
which will be brief, urged that not
only they vote for Greeley, but that
they use all honest endeavors to secure
others of their race to vote likewise,
reminding them of the fact that Gree
ley, like himself, was one Of their first
and frmest friends.
