larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
it's high standard; and it is the on

ton for restoring GRAY OR FADEB
HAIR to it's youthful color, making

Rome ga Napleg oontrastea.

What a contrast between the cam
pagna Of Naples and the campagna of
Rome In the one is unity, and in the
other variety; ia this is the sublime,
and in that the beautiful here the
majesty and there the grace in Rome
is heard the melody Of a lament like
the harmonious psalmody Of the bibli-
cal prophets, and in Naples the choir of
the ancient Greek divinities. But, if
the contrast Is great between country
and country, how much greater is it be-
tween city and city Let the sworn
enemies of pontifeal Rome say what
they will, it appeared to me, when COM
pared with Naples, a severe, a most
severe city. At least there reign in
Rome sadness and silence. It's inhabi-
tants seem to look upon darkness. Their
faces have a certain solemn sadness, like
that of a sovereign, but of a dethroned
race The innumerable converts, the
maltitudes of monks, the chapels which
arise On all sides, the statnes which or
naments the corners of the streets, all
show that the Romans are a people sub
missive to theocracy; while the cries IN
the streets of Naples, the continual vo-
alterations, the gay groups standing
around, the universal gayety, the dances
on one side, the open-air concerts on
the other, the concourse of people to
the Eater-stalls and cafes, show you are
in civil city where life is a continual
festival And there is no longer the
same number of religious pictures as
formerly. For the image of the Saviour
they have substituted the portrait of
Garibaldi. To worship is q necessity
for the Neapolitans, to worship fervent-
ly whatever be the object of their adora-
ton; to worship devotedly among
blows and outcries, with huzzas and
shouting; with all the exaItation COM
mon to highly-nervOus Compartments,
and with the fanaticism which accom-
panies the excitement of southern pas
sions kindled by the intense heat of the
climate. There is something of Vesu-
vius, something of its burning fires,
something of its eruptions, something
also of it's changeabIeness in the fckle
and ardent nature of the Neapolitans-
of those degenerate Greeks who dwell
always with a smile upon their lips
upon the borders of death threatened
by their volcano with doom similar to
that which buried the cities of Pompeii
and Herculaneum.-E Emilio CASTELAR,.

Welded Bliss.
[From the Danbury News.

from the Danbury News.
You know her. She lives on your
street. Her features are either pinchedS
or full and frowsy. Her dress is wet,
III fitting and of no particular pattern !;
her slippers are broken down her hair
is uncombed; her voice IS either shrill
or coarse. You have seen her stand out
in the back yard, and put bare arm up
to her eyes, and under it peep out to the
fence or barn, where a man in an i'll
fitting coat is searching for something,
and have heard her shout John,
can't George bring me some water?"
And you have heard him cry back: g If
he don't get that water I will take every
inch of flesh from his bones p And
when you have looked at her again does
it seem possible that those angry eyes
have dropped in maidenly reserve, or
raised in coquetish light to the face of
the man in the Ill fitting coat? Can
you, by any possible wrench of the
imagination, conceive of his tenderly
passing peppermints to her, of his tax
ing that hand in his and bashfulIy
squeezing it? But it was so. Many a
"God bless you" has been uttered above
that bare head many a kiss pressed on
that unoombed hair The tightly com
pressed lips have lovingly framed ten
der invitations to him to take another
bite of cake and pickle. The hands
that are now par-boiled aud blistered
and marked with scars from the bread
knife, and scratches from the last setting
hen, were once twined lovingly about
his neck, and the nose which is now
peaked and ed, and looks as if it would
stand on its hind legs and scream with
rage, once followed the figures of his
vest pattern, or bore heavily against his
jugular vein. AS little probable as this
seems to you, it seems less to her. She
has forgotten it. She won't hear it
talked of by others. She cannot bear
to see it acted by others. Two lovers
are to her ga parcel of fools" And
George is rubbing his head, and we turn
aside while our heroine Teadiusts her
slipper.

The Chinese theater ON jackson street
has lost none of its prestige by the
opening of numerous rival establish
ments of similar character, and among
the Celestiais, especially with reference
to the aristocracy, is more popular than
ever. The management of the theater
has always been characterized by dis
cretion IN the selection and production
of plays and due regard for the tastes
of the people, together with an un-
swerving adherence to popular prices
for admission, thus encouraging the
patrons of the drama 10 become regular
IN att ndence and whetting the appe-
tite of the younger heather. The pro
perties of the theater have attained a
great value, the stock company has be-
come one of the best of its kind in the
world, and the orchestra has reached
that stage of perfection, accordinding to
an eminent Chinese critic, which barmo-
nizes agreeably with the motto of the
theater, signifying that improvement is
impossible and depreciation improha-
bic. The business manager of the thea
fer, an urbane fellow of 80 summers,
has Just displayed rare tact and enter
prise by bringing ont from China a star
of the first magnitude, who assumes fe-
male characters with startling fidelity,
and has withal fine social qualities.
This engagement is one of the greatest
successes the theater has ever known.
During the last three nights the per-
formances have netted IN the aggregate
2,0G0 The play smacks strongly of
sensation, and is utterly devoid of the
moral-lessons which should be incul-
Gated on the heathen, but is free from
the taint of indecency. The musical
selections embrace gems CHILLED from
the Chinese national airs. The drama
abounds in domestic scenes among the
Chinese, which are rendered the more
striking by the musical accompaniments,
and possesses many novel and ingenious
features. The practice of allowing
dealers in refreshments to monopoiize
seates with their stock is reprehensible
m the extreme, and should cease at
once and forever, even if by taking
prompt action in this regard the retail
dealers in fruits, rice, sweetmeats, 6lial
Porridge, sugarcane, etc, are sorely
displeased and endeevor to iniure the
business of the house by slanderous
statements. We realize that hint viii
suffice to achieve an abatement of this
refreshment nuisance, and are therefore
content to leave the disposition of the
complaint with the manngement.-Sdn

THE RRALMs OF long AGO


The day, with it, sandals dipped In dew.
Has passed through tue evenings golden gates
AID a single star IN the cloudless bine
For the rising moon in silence waits.
While the winds that sigh 10 the lnu0nid bours
lullaby breathe Ger the folded flowers.
The lilies nod 70 the sound Of the stream
IhAt winds along with a lulling how,
Ana either awake or half In a dream,
pass through the realms Of Long ago.
While faces peer with many a smile
From the bowers Of Memoryis magical isle.
There are joys and sunshine sorrows and tears
That check the path Of LIES April hours,
And longing wish for the coming years
That nope ever wroaths with fairost flowers.
There are friendehips guieless-lovs as bright
Ana pure Is the stars IN the halls Of night.
There arc ashen memories, bitter pain.
And buried hopes and q broken VOW
ana ah aching heart by the restless main,
Aud the sea breeze tanning q paliid brow,
AUD Wanderer on the shell-inod shore
LISTENING Tor voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions Wild.
And the herce desire TO stand iu the van
OF the battle Of life-and the heart of the child
IL crushed In the breast Of the ntrugpliup man.
But short the regrets and few the tears
That fell at the tomb Of the vanished years
There's quiet, and peace, and domestic love.
And Joys arising from faith and truth,
Ana And a loys unquestioning, Ear above
The passionate dreaming Of ardent youth;
And kiHsing Of children on lip and cheek,
Ana the parents bliss which no tongue can speak.
There loved ones losti There are little graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the streamlet Winds and the violet waves,
ana the grasses sway 70 the signing breeze
Aud wo mourn for the pressure Of tender lips.
And the light Of eyes darkened in earth's eclipse.
And thus, as the glow Of the daylight flies,
And the nights first look TO the earth is cast,
gaze meath those beautiful summer skies,
At the pictures that hang on the wall Of the past /;
D sorrow and Joy chant mingled lay,
When 70 memory's wildhood we wander away.

How to be Handsome.

Most people would like to be hand
some. Nobody denies the great power
which any person may have who has a
good face and attracts you by good
looks, even before a word has been
spoken. And we see all sorts of devices
in men and women to improve their
good looks, paints and washes, and ali
kinds of cosmetics, including a plenti-
full amounting with dirty hair oil.
Now all cannot have good features.
They are as God made them but al
most any one can look we'll, especially
with good health. 1t is hard to give
rules in very short space, but in brief
these will do:
Keep clean, wash freely and univer-
sally with warm water. All the skin
wants is leave to act free, and it will
take care of itself. Its thousands of air
holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly and sleep enough. The
stomach can no more work all the time,
night and day than a horse it must
have regular york and regular sleep.
Good teeth are a great help to good
looks. Brush them with a soft brush,
especially at night Go to bed with
teeth clean. OF course, to have white
teeth, it is needfuI to let tobacco alone.
Every woman knows that. And any
powder or wash for the teeth should be
very simple. Acids may whiten the
teeth, but they take off the enamel and
iniure them.
Sleep in a cool room, in pure air. No
one can have a clear skin who breathes
bad air.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes.
do not know that the brain expands,
but it seems to. Think, read, not
trashy novels, but books that have some
thing in them. Talk with people who
know something hear lectures ard
learn by them.

Gable Receipts.

The Journal of the telegraph publi-
shes table showing the average daily
receipt of the anglo-American, French
Atlantic and Newfoundland telegraph
companies, under the vGrious tariffs,
from the beginning of the operation
Of the first cable, July %, 1866, to Au-
gust l, 1873, and says: every redue-
tion of the rates from 500 for twenty
words, to SIG 81 for ten words, was fol-
lowed by an increase IN the number of
messages sent sufficient to maintain and
even slightly augment the receipts.
The decrease to so, however, was fol-
lowed by a loss of twenty-three per cent.
Ia receipts, while a further reduction to
81 50, coupled with the increase in the
traffic, caused by the war between
France and Germany, was followed by
an increase of 100 per cent. in the num-
Der of messages and ffty-one per cent.
in the receipts. Owing to the breaking
of two of the cables in the autumn of
1870. the tariff was increased to SIS, In
order to reduce the traffic and enable it
to be carried over the remaining cable,
and resulted in a decrease of seventeen
per cent. IN the number of messages,
and an increase of ffty-seven per cent.
in the receipts. In the. summer of 1871
the broken cables were repaired, and
the tariff reduced to so per message,
causing an increase of thirty-three per
cent. in the number Of messages and a
decrease of six per cent. in the receipts.
In May, 1872, the rate was made 81 per
word, irrespective of the number of
words sent, and was followed by an in
crease of about thirty per cent. in the
number of messages, and of sixteen per
cent. in the receipts. Two of the cables
were broken in the spring of 1873, when
the rate was increased to 81 so per word,
and resulted in reducing the number of
messages to nine per cent, and in
creasing the receipts twenty-three per
cent. One of the cables having been
subsequently repaired, and a new one
laid, the tariff was again reduced to
81 per word, causing decrease of thirty
four per cent. in the receipts. The re-
cepts in 1872 were larger than in any
previous year, and the companies paid
dividends of twelve per cent, but she

The first thing you notice when you
get oat Of Charleston is a special display
Of providential management. You find
yourself riding through acountry whose
soil is composed largely of phcsphates
1t IS only lately that the valuable fer
tillizer has been appreciated. At the
close of the war the south was full Of
farms whose lands had been impoyer-
ished by reckless tillage; and this, l1i,ts
the disorganized system oflabor, seemed
to put dark face upon matters. Just
at this time, in 1865, poor but intelli-
gent northerTeg picked up from the
ground hereabouts a few of the stones.
He recognized their quality. He locke 1
further. He was astonished to find that
the ground was composed of the most
valuable and the most staple prepared
of all earth-fortifiers. He hastened to
form company to work the material
into marketable shaps. he was baked
and disappointed at first, as all fortu-
mates are, but he finally succeeded; F;
wealthy companies We're formed, skilful
mechanics set to work, and IN a short
time the woods and the plains and the
submerged flats and even the river beds
all around Charleston, were thronged
with men and machines busy bringing
this precious treasure to light. 1t came
just in the nick of time; the earth Of
the plantations had been burned out,
and to work even this there was not
force enough. Then came into the mar
ket, as opportune as the Pennsylvania
oil, the phosphate fertilizer, and the
barren lands smiied again; and smiled
heartily, too, for better cotton and lar
ger crops of it have never before been
raised High lands in the upper parts
of Georgia, for instance, lands that had
never been available for the growth OF
any more profitable crops than that of
corn and wheat, are now made, with the
aid of this new po yer, to produce a fine
order of cotton. It gives a fresh, warm
life to the soil, and enables it TO bring
its plants to perfection before the
changing season interferes. -Applotons'
