lowing:
Carson, May %, 1874.
To the Editor Of the APPEAL: Has it
ever been known that harks or scbooners
have sailed from an Atlantic port clear
through to Chicago BY answering the
above question you will confer a favor
on the writer. ENQUIRER.
We will tell DER inquiring friend
story. and he may draw his own infer
ence We once asked Senator John p.
Jones by what route he came to the Pa
cifc Coast. He said he came by way of
Cape Horn. This astonished US. for we
had heard him say, only a little while
before, that he had never been in any
Atlantic State or seaport, nor in any
slave State; and We asked him how 1t
could be, then, that he came from Ohio
to San Francisco in sai!ing-ship, round
the Horn, and never had been in either
a Calf State nor any OF the new England
States He explained matters thus: My
father said he, was part owner in

beyond what is there set forth. The

Regiment of Minnesota Infantry, will
act as President Of the Day, and Chief
Marshal of the marching column. He
has appointed as his aids, Gen. T. D.
Edwards, Col. John Rosser and Capt.

stated in the advertisement, on King

The Washington correspondent
of the Sunday Herald sums up some
of the reforms that Secretary Bristow
and Postmaster,General Jewell are
trying to accomplish in their respect
i've Departments apropos ola curious
feature Of the Presidents character
While Gen. Grant ''has no definite
prediction for pure and decent men,
his liking for certain type Of pro-
nounced Americans Of the jolly, rotund
quick-witted kind has led HIM occa-
sionally to choose capable men to as
sist him in carrying on the Govern
ment." The members Of his Cabinet
mentioned are instances. "The Pres
ident selected them not because he
wanted the Government purified, but
because he had a personal liking for
them" The two Departments are
said to be making a joint effort to get
rid of the official barnacles that have
so disgraced Southern politics. They
certainly have shown themselves pos
sessed of original and healthy notions
regarding some of the more aggressive
and impudent of the Department. hang
ers.on, of which Mr.. Mullett's fate is
a CONSPICUOUS example. But the
President is not credited with having
hand in any of these reform move
ments. In fact he probably gives
them no support at all, but on the con-
trary often upsets the best laid plans
of his Cabinet ministers. 1t is a pity
that the Presidents likes do not in
cline to such men oftener, though not
all that are "rotund and jolly" are to
be trusted in works of reform, mas
much as Robson is a CONSPICUOUS
failure ; but supposng the test sue
ceeds twice out of three times, what
a pity it is not more frequently appli-
ed.

The Republicans of New Hamp-
shire are to hold their State Conven-
ton at Concord, Tuesday, January,
18th. 1t is thought that McCutchins
may be renominated for Governor,
but the names of Hon. B. f. Prescott
of Epping, and Hon, Charles H. Bell,
Of Exeter, are prominently mentioned
in connection with the candidacy.
We believe that the Democracy can
carry the State again next March by
making judicious nominations and en-
ergetic efforts.-The "Ramrods," or
prohibitionists of the state, held a
Convention at Concord, on the I'd,
inst, and nominated the Hon. Nath-
aniel White, of Concord, for Govern
or, and David Head, Of Milford, for
Railroad Commissioner.
The Convention resolved itself into
District Convention, and the candi-
dates nominated for Congress were
Rev. A. c. Hardy, of Portsmouth, in
the First District, J. M. Fletcher, of
Nashua, in the Second District, and
Edward H. Weston, Of White6eld, in
the Third District.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC,
4 Short POstpOncment Of tho
Fifth Gift Concert.

As manager and proprietor of the
gift concerts given in aid of the Pub
lie Library Of Kentucky, my position
creates an important trust in behalf of
the Public Library and the ticket
holders of the fifth gift concert. The
Public Library Of Kentucky and the
tlcket-holders are jointly interested in
the amount Of the drawing. The
larger the fund to be distributed in
gifts, the greater will be the gift
awarded to each lucky ticket-holder
and the more the amount realized by
the Library. To have full drawing
is SO manifestly to the interest Of
those interested, that, rather than
have fractional drawing on the 3Oth
inst, | deem it due the trust con6ded
to me by the ket-holders and the
Public Library Of Kentucky, that a
short posponement be made to enable
me to dispose Of the unsold tickets
and have a full drawing Though
the very large amount now IN bank
would enable us to distribute hand.
some gifts, yet we should feel disap.
pointed in this our last concert, should
we be compelled to make fractional
drawing, however large.
We have received so very large a
number Of letters from all parts Of the
country from those most largely inter
ested, urging a postponement if all
the tickets be not sold by the 3oth,
that we feel strengthened in our sense
of duty to the ticket holders and the
Public Library, to make the postpone
ment. Under the circumstances, we
have determined, in the interest of all
parties, to postpone the concert and
drawing to Saturday, FEBRUARY 9th,
1875, at which time the drawing will
positively take place and, as a guar
antee Of good faith toward ticket
holders, we pledge ourselves to refund
to any ticket holder his money, upon
presentation of his ticket, should the
drawing fail to come off at the day
now fixed. The past we feel assured,
will be sufficient guarantee to all in,
terested that they Will be fairly and
honestly dealt with. The money paid
for tickets is sacredIy preserved
against all contingencies until after
the payment ofthe gifts after which
the expenses are to be reimbursed and
the Public Library is to be paid its
profits.

"Its Very Hard"

'lt's very hard to have nothing 10
eat but poridge, when others have
every sort of dainty" muttered Dick,
as he sat with his wooden bowl be-
fore him, "It's very hard to get up
so early on these bitter cold mornings
and work all day, when others can en-
Joy themselves without an hour of la
Dor !! It's very hard to have to trudge
along through the snow, while others

All persons who aspire to beauty
or personal appearance should not
neglect that natural accessory, the
hair. By many it has been neglected
until the hair has become thin, gray,
or entirely fallen off. Messrs. Hall &c
Co., Nashua, N. H., have produced
an effectual remedy, called Scilian
Hair Remover, which cures all diseas-
es of the scalp. This wonderful
preparation acts upon the glands,
which support and nourish the hair,
restores gray hair to its origidal color
makes the scalp white and clean, re
moves and prevents the formation of
dandruff and all cutaneous eruptions {;
and, by its tonic and nutritive proprie-
ties, restores the scalp to healthy
state, and creates new growth. As
a dressing, it is unsurpassed, giving
the hair that hril|iancy so much admir-
ed by all.

Judge Wiltshire, the new Co

Judge Wiltshire, the new Con-
gressman-elect from Arkansas, has
submitted to Acknowledgement Will
liams an able and logical review of
the new Constitution and its validity,
which he thinks established beyond a
doubt. He holds that the will of the
people must be and is the supreme law
of a State, and as the vote of the PEG
pie Of Arkansas was 8O,259 in favor
ofand only 5000 against comforting
authority upon the Convention to
draw up new organic law, he thinks
that there can be little doubt about
the popular demand. But without
insisting upon such broad interpre-
tation of popular rights and power,
the new Constitution was perfectly
regular and valid.

THE RUSSIAN Mission. james
Russell Lowell having declined the
Russian mission, which was recently
rendered him by the President, it is
stated that the place will be offered to
Secretary Robson, who will decline
because of an understanding that the
tender will be made as matter of
compliment. If the offer should be
made it would more likely be for the
purpose and in the hope Of getting
rid of Robeson's close connection
with the Administration in order to
make place for somebody else in the

Mr.. EIitOr.-Tf Won con oivo mn q

Mr.. Edtor.-If you can give me a
place in your valuable paper, l would
say that if our Legislators would pass
n law that the complainants in the liq-
uor cases brought before the Grand
Jury, should be recognized for the
costs, there would be less complaints
made. AS the law is now, the State
has to pay the costs, and I think it is
not quite right to burden us with any
more taxes on cases that where is no
sort of chance to get any of it back.
If it were the law that they should be
recognized for the costs, l am positive
they would not pay the price of more
than two or three new buggy pagons,
for cases they cannot prove If the
parties that entered the complaint
have got their bill, am glad of it, for
they have had their noses IN every
bodies business but their own ever
since they found they could not get
the handling Of the liquor. 1t seems
time for men with one foot in the
grave to begin to think OF where they
are going, and not be smelling
breaths to see if they cannot find out
If some one has not smelled of a rum
bottle

space and will draw to close, by re-
mindlng our Legislators 10 think of
this next session. Very Respectfully
Yours.
