No More Shining Pates.

No More Shining Pates.
On Rampant street stands an unpre-
tentious store whence hangs plain
sign bearing the inscription, s"Human
Hair Repaired" Hair restorers have
grown frequent of late years, invented
and patented all manner of drugs and
medicines that promise to make hair
grow on the baldest head-even on a
pumpkin. Yet with all these capillary
| improvements, one looks down from his
! seat in the peanut gallery on sea of
bald heads shining pates.
| How modest this sign appears !
There is no boast of restoring hair
which has gone !; but the hair dresser
simply offers to repair ones hair as a
carpenter would repair ones leg or a
doctor ones head. .ar. ~s.r4gn.r ssl h 81,
This repairing is an old art of great
success, but seldom practiced in this
country. Hair being a vegetable, can
be planted anywhere, and If the soil be
| fruitful will grow luxuriantly. Thus, if
one can get a bushy-headed boy to share
his locks, one can bid defiance to old
age and badness. eft .r..e,s tfro,
This art is used in Paris by old French
| dandies. = Our people, however, have
not generally received it for the reason
that the operation of grating hair is
rather painful, it being necessary to SOW
the new hairs into the head with
needles. '5'eH 3raslys a...r .H.6ta5
The artists in this hair-planting bust
ness can produce the most astonishing
results. To give person any colored
hair is, of course, easy enough; bru-
nettes may have red, or blondes black
hair old persons black, and young gray
hair that is the simplest work.
A person may in like manner have
his head terraced, laid out in patches of
various colored hairs, red, white, black,
and brown; and in almost any sort of
pattern or design. This style always
produces a profound sensation, giving
it's owner the appearance of an animated
lamp mat.
If human hair be not found the pro-
lessor will supply horse hair, which will
be found quite useful and able to stand
good deal of wear and tear, in addi-
ton to the fact that it never requires
combing or brushing. Altogether we
must regard the introduction of this art
here as highly beneficial. It will give
our colored fellow citizens here an op-
portunity of getting rid of one of their
bug bears, wool, and thus lit them for
the duties of American citizens, and it
may introduce new fashions in the hair
line. Certainly it is preferable to
chignons and ramie.--NeaV Orleans

Change in the Management Of the
1s.u Chicago Tribune. o'a1 Z o2
The Chicago Journal of the 3oth ult.
says go ''''' kha te7" r '7* poi
We learn from undoubted authority,
that on Thursday, of the present week,
Mr.. Joseph Medill bought from Mr.. AL
fred Cowles and Mr.. Horace White,
three fifths Of their interest in the Chi
cago Tribune property for the sum of
$300,000 The stock of the Tribune
Company is 100000 at it's par value,
divided into 200 shares at $1,000 each.
Messrs. Cowles and White sold 60
shares for the above-n named sum, being
at the rate of $4,000 per share, and
they retain Al shares. Mr.. Medill
now owns 106 shares, and will, of
course, be the chief editor. Mr..
Cowles will remain as heretofore the
business manager, and we understand
that Mr.. White, after making journey
to Europe, will resume his connection
with the paper as an editorial writer.
During the nine years that Mr.. White
has been the chief editor of the Tribune
its net profits have averaged $147,000
per years, from which it appears that,
although Mr.. Medill has made this
purchase on the basis of 81, 900, 900 for
the whole establishment, he has got
very good thing.
