gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by it's use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

A Change that RfIngs no Good.

Among other acts that shows a lack of wisdom
in the Legislature, the repeal of part of the
law under which the Sheriff advertised sales of
real estate Under the old law the Sheriff was
required to permit the defendant, or owner of the
property seized, to name one newspaper in which
the sale should be advertised while the Sheriff se-
lected the other. This gave the man who was 80
unfortunate as to get into the SheriR's hands an
opportunity to see that his property was not sold
without due notice being. given. The law was
operating fairly and justly, and it was no doubt
changed without due reflection by the Legislature,
for the benefit Of personal interest and not for the
public good. Under the new law the Sheriff is
required to advertise sales in two papers of his
selection, ten days before the sale and he is
to select ths paper that the largest circulation in
the county one of the two but heis not required
to continue the advertisement and may publish it
only one time. Thus there is restriction to the
publicity. Under the old law, two weeks notice
was required; under the new one, notice must be
published only ten days before the sale. 1t
fair and right that the debtor should have the
selection of one of the.papers in which his prop
erty was advertised; aud it was wrong to deprive
him Of that right. TIE Sheriff was discharging
his duty faithfully and impartialIy under the law
and the change has already reduced difficulty.
The new law was passed no doubt as ''got up
Job" by somebody, as we have not met lawyer
yet that has not denounced it as lame and i'm
perfect affair, calculated to do more harm than
good.
The only party that we have heard mention it
fIVorably is E0eyy EUening which was not selected
rs a medium for advertising such sales more than
once or twice that we know. 1t now expects to se-
cure the sales through the action OF the Legisla-
ture upon whose members it lavished so much
abuse,) which makes it the duty of the Sheriff TO
choose and deprives the debtor of his right to do
So By the change, the advertisement of sales may
be made to cost $50 where they did not cost SIS
before. The amendment was secretly effected
that there was scarcely lawyer at the Bar of this
county who knew what the law was, or who is
not surprised at its defects. ....-.-

and don't think salt will be necessary. When ]
move, the Fifteenth Corps will be on the right OF
the right wing, and their position will bring them
naturally into Charleston first; and if you haze
watched the history of that corps, you will have
pretty well. The truth is the whole army is
burning with an insqtiable desire to wrsak ven
gence on South Carolina. l almost tremble at
her fte, but feel that she deserves all that seems
In store for her. Many and many person asked
me why we did not go to South Carolina, and
when answered that was 9I route for that
State, the inyariable reply was "Well, ii you
will make those people feel the seventies of war,
we will pardon you for your desolation of Georgia

On the question of veracity which seems to
have arisen between General Sherman and our
esteemed uownsman, general Hampton, as the
burning Of Columbia, the following correspon-
dence throws very CHASTITY light WeNcannot
imagine anything more dlsereditable. 1t ought,
however, to be preserved. On the 18th Of De-
oember, 1864, General Halleck wrote 10 Sherman,
then approaching Savannah, letter, in which
the following passage occurs: .H al
Orders have been issa ed for all officers aud de-
tachments having three months or more to serve,
to rejoin your army via Savannah. Those hav-
ing less than three months to serve will be re-
tained by Generrl Thomas. Should you capture
Charleston, hope that by some accident tho place
may be destroyed and II little salt should be
spWn upon its site, II may prevent the growth of
future crops of notification and secession.
