women attired in a singular costume,
viz. large zouave trousers, closed by
CATERS, small gray psletois trimmed with
black, and tall felt hats, who we're stop.
ping at the Grand Hotel On inquiry,
they we're found to be Mrs Walker, an
American medical practitioner, and two
of her pupils. The lady is about fifty
years Of age. and the apostle of the
emancipation of woman, in the United
States, and belongs to the sect of Bloom
crisis. She is said te be on her way to
Turkey, where she has just accepted the
post Of private physician Of the Sultan s

Two of the most damnable cases of
rape were recently committed by ne
groes upon white women in Middle Ten
nessee, and the perpetrators made good
their escape. The Northern. papers
have not heard of these outrages at all;
they are looking on the other side Of the
color line for something that will make
political capital. A hundred such cases
might occur in a single county, and they
would not think of asking the President
to send troops there to protect white
women and assist in ferreting ont the
criminals. This shows their unfairness
and their real desire to find pretexts for
depressing, reconstructing and robbing
the South. They rejoice when they
hear that a negro.is killed, and at heart
deplore the enforcement of the law and
the harmony that prevails between the
two races when left free from outside
interference.

The question has often been asked by

hair restored to its natural color, without
coloring the skim and can my thin locks
be thickened upH" We answer, at cam"

on the hair, which is published by R P.
Hall & Co., Nashua, N. H., who send 1t
free, upon application. They arc the pro.
prietors of Halls Vegetable sicilian Hair
Remover. We learn from 1t, the hair, in
q perfect state Of health, is constantly
falling out, and new hairs grow from the
same tubes; but, in caseo any disease Of
the scalp, or by the use Of alcoholic prepa-
rations, the hair.tube becomes contracted
at Its mouth, and prevents the new lollicle
from reaching tho surface. Their prepa.
ration will create a perfect healthy condi.
ton Of the scalp, and, by its tonic proper.
ties, will preserve and strengthen the roots
of the hair.-Statesman, De9 Manes, IotCa.
