HARrER's MAGAZINE for April, with
eighty-fve illustrations, and covering,
in its table of contents, every variety
of the most excellent and timely read
matter-stories, poems, instructive
articles of science and travel, and
humorous sketches-can not fail to
satisfy the most exacting and fastidi-
GUS reader. The unprecedented com
bination of three such writer's Of fc-
ton as CARRIES READE, WILKIE COL
LINs, and Miss TnACKERAY in one
Magazine, is in itself memorable
event in the history ofperiodical litera-
ture. But the space occupied by these
writers does not prevent a magazine
of the size of HARPER's from giving
such an extended variety as we find in
this Number.

CosT OF OPERATING RAILROADS.
In the Vermont & Cahada and Yer,
mont Central railroad hearing at St.
Adams, Tuesday, Gyles Merrill testi-
fed that he had been Superintendent
of the Central railroad for fourteen
years. He thought that it cost a
larger percentage to operate the road
now than it did ten years ago. The
percentages vary from seventy to
eighty.fv per cent. Of the gross earn
ings, or an average Of seventy-seven
and half. He was somewhat famil-
lar with other New England roads.
Thought from seventy to eighty per
cent. is the cost of operating. Our
roads are free from taxation, and some
of the other New England roads are
not.

HENRY Wilson's OPPOSITION TO
GEN. GRANTS ADvANCENIENT.-The
President has recently learned for the
first time, that when he was nomina-
ted for appointment as Brigadier Gen
eral, in 1861, the nomination was re-
ferred to the Committee on Military
Affairs. Aftera while Senator Heney
Wilson, then Chairmcn OF that Com
mttee, reported back the nomination
without any recommendation that it
should be confirmed or rejected (; and
on being questioned, said that the
Committee had been informed that
COL Grant was addicted to the intem-
perate use of intoxicating liquors.
One of the Illinois Senators denied the
truth of this assertion, and sent to the
Committeeman for a letter from j. d.
Webster, then on Grants staff, which
testified to temperate habits. Senator
Clark of New Hampshire, testified to
Capt. Webster's yeracity; and as
brigadIers were then in demand, Grant
was confirmed, but no thanks to Will
son. Washington Despatch to ". Y

Every year increases the populari-
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 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 it's use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q 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 l consider it the BEST PREpA-
RATION for it's intended purposes"

The Murderer Whom Grant Saved.

The evidence shows that policeman
OBrien set out to seduce the wife of
Samuel II. Cunningham, at a picnic
near Georgetown, in the summer of
1871, under the preteXt of obtaining
for the latter apositlon under the Com
missioner of Public Buildings; that,
being rebuffed in this attempt by Mrs.
Cunningham, he insulted her with the
most opprobrious epithet. The insult
ed wife sought the protection of her
husband, who in turn made complaint
to Lieut.. Essex, O'Brien's superior
officer on the police force. The Lieu
tenant called O'Brien to account for
his insulting conduct toward Mrs.
Cunningham. Thereupon OBrien
fell upon Cunningham, knocking him
down with his baton. Some twenty
minutes after Cunningham, having re-
covered somewhat from the blow, was
leaving Green Spring with his wife
for home, when O'Brien again rushed
upon Cunningham, revolver in hand,
and shot him through the head, kill
ing him on the spot, and then fired an
other shot at him after he had fallen
to the ground. Cunningham, it should
be added, was q slender, feeble man,
while O'Blien is Of large powerful
build. The influences which have Sc
cured the communication of OBriens
sentence were the efforts Of Gen But
Ter retained as counsel, and the earn
est solicitation of Mrs. Gen. Sherman
and others, backed by the united Cath
Ole church of the District. Nobody
but the few who espoused OBrien's
cause even seek to excuse the Presl-
dent for his action in this CASE
Washington Star.
An official list Of the inmates OF
French prisons has recently been pub
lished, which contains the names OF a
large number of native Americans.
Among these are James G. Wells,
claiming to be a native Of Boston,
where he says he formerly performed
the duties Of a clergyman. He was
convicted some time since OF keeping
a gambling house, and was sentenced
to three months hard labor. A. b.
Popple, formerly Of Philadelphia, was
sentenced to pay a heavy fine for the
offence, but on refusing to pay the
amount named he was sent to jail,
where he says he will remain forever
rather than make the necessary pay
ment p. V. Rowland Of Cincinnati,
has had his sentence prolonged sever
al times for bad conduct, being aflllct
ed he says with delirum tremens. He
has twice attempted to escape Jail, and
is consequently kept in Il straitjacket
and is nourished on bread and water
alone. Perry Walker, claiming to be
q resident of Indianapolis, Ind. as we'll
as an eX-Congressman, was convicted
some time since of selling spurious
certificates of the Norman loan, and
sentenced for three years. He is EN-
ployed in the manufacture Of wisp
brooms, and is said to be both intcli
gent and industrious. Three young
girls, natives of New York, Newark
and Louisville, respectively, are con.
fined for various otfenses. The full
list of Americans of both sexes is at
present about twenty, which is said to
be the largest number ever known to
be confined in Jail at one time in
France.
