proven that 1t stops the falling OF the hair i'm
medately; often renews the growth, and al
ways surely restores its color, when faded or
gray. 1t stimulates the nutritive organs to
healthy activity, and preserves both the hair
and Its beauty. Thus brashy, weak or sickly
hair becomes glossy, pliable and strengthened;
lost hair regrows with lively expression falling
hair is checked and established; thin hair
thlckens, and faded or gray hair resume their
original color. Its operation is sure and harm
less. 1t cures dandrun, heals all humors, and
keeps the scalp cool, clean and soft-under

The stolen NIurlIlO.

The man who stole one of Murrillos
great pictures from the cathedral at Seville
is, of course, insane; on no other hypothe-
sis can we account for the wonderful TAX
ing of an article that could never be seen
nor sold without instant exposure of the
thief. A medal of the precious metals
could be melted, a diamond could be re.cut,
but a Murillo has no value except in the
precise state in which it was left by the
great painter.

what Democracy IN Missouri Means

The republican congressman, who was
not candidate for reelection, who has
just arrived at Washington from Missouri,
states that the campaign was conducted by
the democrats throughout the Northwest
on the war issues. The leading speakers
in that section advocated the. repeal of all
state legislation confirming the negroes in
their rights or recognizing the consritu-
tional amendment.

Il REMARKABLE CASE. - Last
week a child of Antonio Days, who
resides at the Easterby farm went
out in the garden, and, childlike,
ate a lot OF green beans and green
watermelons. The child was sub
sequently attacked with a severe
diarrhea, or more probably cholera
intsntum. Failing TO afford the
child any reliefthe father determined
to summon a physician. DR.. Coley
was accordingly called, and last
Sunday morning the child died, or
at least it was so supposed. Pre-
parations were Immediately made
for its burial, and that afternoon,
between five and six o'clock, the
child was taken to the cemetery for
interment At the grave the coffin
was opened, and it was observed
that the child's forehead was heavily
covered with perspiratiou, and its
body warm, and the joints timber.
The appearances that lite was not
extinct were SO very strong that the
idea was seized upon by many that
it was a case OF suspended anima-
ton, and accordingly the burial pro-
were suspended and the
child brought to town, and was
carefully watched through the night
by sympathising friends. In the
evening two physicians examined
the body and concured in pronounc-
ing 1t dead. On Monday morning
The distressed father and his friends
we're compelled to acknowledge the
stern reality, and accordingly the
little one was again taken to the
cemetery and there deposited in its
inal resting place.--FEesmo Er-

where the entertainments given by
this excellent Company were not pro

doubt, and we predict that all will be
perfectly satisfied and more than re-

The heavy rains Of the week have
melted the snow, and increased the
volume of water in all the little creeks,
sloughs and swales. The roads, gen
orally speaking, are impassable with
anything like load. One of the
most important things for the future
welfare of this city is that good roads
be made-roads that will hold up heav-
lily loaded wagons during the rainy
season. Loads of gravel or thousands
of feet of plank will have to be used,
or this city will lose vast amount Of
trade.
