All persons who aspire to beauty Or
personal appearance should not neglect
that natural accessory, the bair. BY
many it has been neglected until the
hair has become thin, gray, or entirely
fallen off. Messrs. Hall & Co., Nashua,
N. H., have produced an effectual rem.
edy, called Sicilian Hair Remover,
which cures all diseases of the scalp.
This wonderful preparation acts upon
the glands, which support and nourish
the hair, restores gray hair to its origi-
nal color, makes the scalp white and
clean, removes and prevents the for
nation Of drandruff and all cutaneous
eruptions; and, by its tonic and nutri-
tive properties, restores the scalp to a
healthy state, and creates new growth.
As a dressing, it is unsurpassed, giving
the hair that brilliancy so much admir-
ed by all.-Boston Commercial.

Tho Republican state COnven-
lion,

There is considerable discussion
now being indulged in by our parti
zan contemporaries, concerning the ac-
ton OF the forthcoming Republican
State Convention, to nominate can.
didates for Supreme Judge and
State Treasurer. The hope ia ex-
pressed that the convention will be
puided by wise councils and con
trolled by spirit aiming at securing
the very best men of the party for
candidates. This is all very sound,
and very beautiful, too but at the
same time, let us recommend to our
friends throughout the State that
the best and surest way TO secure all
this, is to select men as delegates
who will come TO Harrisburg with
other objects in view than the pro-
motion of their private interests. 1t
has heretofore been too much the
custom TO allow mercenary men TO
secure seats in the State Conventions
who make their representatives n
means Of discharging personal obi
cations to parties entirely obnoxious
10 their constituents, aud who were
more prompt TO comply with a re-
qnest from such clique managers,
than to obey the will and wishes Of
the people they were supposed TO re-
present. This is the manner in which
wrong is accomplished in State Con-
yentions, and IL the masses of the
Republican party have any particular
object to carry out, any man they
want nominated or set aside, they
must select delegates TO tho State
convention who cannot be bought or
sold, aud who will fearlessly and
honestly give expression to tho SEN
timents and preference Of
their constituents. II men Of this
character are not selected, as a mat
ter Of course, the action Of the Re-
publican State convention will be
dictated by q few seif-iuterested po-
litical hacks, and all the admonition
in which the Republican press of the
State can indulge from now until
after that convention meets and ad-
jouxps, will not effect the result as
vo indicate it. II honest and truly
independent men are not selected as
delegates, the voice OF the masses
vin be stiaed, and the will Of the
greot majority OF the party viii be

A MOMENTS reflection (says the
Washington Republican, shows that
all tho ills, the disgrace, the poverty
and the defeat Of the South have re
suited from the leadership of the
Secessionists, which is another name
for Democracy and Conservatism.
The sooner the people Of that section
acknowledge and profit by this fact
the better il will be for them. Indi
vidually they may respect the old
Democratic leaders, but politically
they must learn to distrust them,
even though they sail under Conser-
vativc colors. The carpet-baggers
may be obnoxious, and some of thotn
may be dishonest; but with all that
they arc truer in there loyalty TO the
best interests of the entire commu-
nifty than the Secessionists who now
control the Conservative organiza-
ton. The blacks may be ignorant,
prejudiced and bigotod, but they are
the natural allies of the opponents Of
Democracy.

no less than i've murderers paying
the penalty OF their crimes by hang
ing by the neck until they were dead.
Michael Nixon was swung from Wig
orous health TO the grave in New

he shot down in tho street because
he did not get out of his way. Jo-
seph O'Neal was hanged in Mount

dinarily brutal circumstances, Of
Hiram Rexford. In California Charles
Mortimer was hanged for the mur-
der of Mary Gibson Shaw, and John

They all met their fate with remark

thing about these executions is the
parting between the doomed victim
and his friends. lie has the marks
of health upon him; there are no
symptoms Of disease or weakness,
and yet those who look upon him
know that he must die in few hours.
The description Of the parting be
tween Nixon and his family is most
touching. They visit him--his wife,
a daughter Of twelve or thirteen
years Of age and a babe in the arms
tho evening before the execution,
to have final parting and say the
last farewell. The wife is overcome
with grief. and life seems to be leav
ing her; the daughter clasps her
father with all loving daughters s
affection, and in words as if inspired
by breaking heart, moans out her
love and her grief; the little child
which he has taken in his arms clings
to him as if conscious of some terri
bic impending aflliction, while over
the strong mans face pour down
tears like rain, and while he is unable
10 speak, his heaving bosom shows
the strong emotions Of an almost
breaking heart. But the meeting
