pREMATrRE Loss OLE TIE LA

PREMATURE Loss OF THE HAIR, which
is 40 common nowadays, may be entirely pre-
vented by the use of BURSETT's COCAINE.
1t has been used in thousands of eases where
the hair was coming out in handsiul, and has
never failed to arrest its decay, and to pro-
mote healthy and vigorous growth. 1t is at
the same time unrivallcd as dressing for the
hair. A single application will render it soft
and glossy for several days.

the fact Of last years poor yield than

VIRGINIA SLAVES AT THEIR OLD

VIRGINIA SLAVES AT THEIR OLD
MASTERS GRAvE.-As soon as the
funeral services at the new-made grave
of Col. Thomas Jefferson Randolph
was concluded, and before the grave
was filed up, a veteran negro stepped
forward and asked if there was any
objection 10 service by his people.
He was told that such a tribute would
be acceptable to the family, and then a
scene that should go down in history
was enacted. Quietly Mr., lIandolI ,h's
former slaves assembled around him,
and then swelled up from hundred
negro voices that most pathetic of
hymns:
"Am / soldier Of the cross,
A follower of the lamb"
A gentleman who was present says
that in his whole life, extending over
seventy years, he never witnessed any
thing so touching. When the last
notes died away amid the oaks of Mon
ticello, there was not a dry eye in the
vast assembly-Riohmond Eeqs,irer.

The Cotton Crop.

The official cotton crop report for
November makes direct comparison
of the product this year with that of
1874. AS the former reports of the
condition have indicated, the states
bordering on the Atlantic all show a
reproduced product, and those Of the
Mississippi valley an increased yield.
The area of the great September
storm in southern Texas proves less
disastrous than was at first represented.
The amount of lint in comparison
with the weight of seed cotton is quite
favorable, ranging from 20 to 33 per
cent, but, so far as reported, appears
to be less than in 1874.
The state percentages, representing
the aggregate quantity, as compared
with last year, are as follows:

Clergymen's Endorsement of Mr.. Beech

A large number of the Brooklyn clergymen,
among them every Baptist minister in the city,
have written letter to Mr. Beecher, express
ing confidence in his innocence. The names of
DIR. Storrs, DR.. Buddington. Dr. Cuyler DIR.
Duryea, Bishop Little John, DR.. Hall, DIR. Van
Dyke and DR.. Schenck do not appear, but the
signers comprise the larger.porton of the Brook
lyn clergy. The following is the letter:
Rev Henry Ward Beecher: Very dear broth
er: The undersigned, pastors of churches of
different denominations in the city of Brook
lyp, and ministers OF the gospel, residing here,
desire to give you the assurance of our sympa-
thy with you in the severe trials through which
you have been passing, and to express our con-
hdence in your Christian character and your
innocence of the charge preferred against you.
We regret that others, whose opinions and
feelings we know, and who would gladly Join
with us in this expression of sympathy and
confidence, are now absent from the city dur
ing the summer vacation. We have heard in
the court room, or read in the published reports
the testimony offered in support of these
charges with the advantage of knowing by our
residence here the social standing and the cred
ibility of those principally concerned in the
case as parties and witnesses. None can be
more jealous than ourselves of the honor of
our sacred calling, or less willing to uphold as a
minister of Christ one on whom justly rests
shade of dishonor. 1t is because we believe
YOU " nave uceH tuc OUltCt VI d WlCkeu CO1-
spiracy, directed as much against the cause you
serve as against your own person, that we hold
it to be our duty to God as much as to our fell
low laborers in his cause, to declare our convic-
tion after full and careful scrutiny, of the fall
sity of the monstrous charges alleged against
you by His enemies and yours.
We grateful to God that strength has
been given you to endure so long the severe
strain upon your physical and mental powers,
and that through all these months of weary
suffering you have been sustained under the
numerous and exhaustive labors of your minis
try. And permit us to say, dear brother, that
we are no less grateful for the grace given you
to bear with Christian patience the cruel wrongs
you have suffered, that you have uttered no
word of unkindness OF dsDaragement against
those who were seeking your ruin, and that,
under all provocations, you have manifested
the spirit of your Master and ours, "who, when
he was reviled, reviled not again." May the
God in whom you trust and the Master whom
you serve reward you with that ''peace of God
that passeth all understanding" and guide and
abundantly bless you in the labors of your tu-
ture ministry.
Your brethren in Christ.

THE scene in the French Assembly Tues
day bears an ominous resemblance to the de-
bates of the convention. NJ. Rouher essayed
defense of the late emperor, and was met
with loud protests from Legtimists and Or
leansts against the comparison of their
kings with Napoleon I'LL, while NJ. Gam
BETA, parodying one of the most famous
speeches of the first revolution, cried, "The
blood Of the second of December ctokes

The Business Outlook.

Tangible facts and figures, bearing upon the
present condition and future of the trade of
the country, are deeply interesting at this
time. We are, therefore, pleased to place be-
fore our readers some important results of an
elaborate inquiry into the condition of bust
ness matters, contained in the semi-annual cir
cuar of The Mercantile Agency of E. Russell
& Co., kindly furnished us by its representa-
tive here, Mr.. I. f. Jones. This institution,
more than any other, by It's alliance with the
leading merchants and bankers, in all the GEN.
tres of trade, and its army of correspondents all
over the country, possesses peculiar facilities
for this task.
The figures which the Agency presents as to
the failures for the first six months of the cur
rent year, are important as showing that, not
withstanding the severe and universal depres-
sion, the casualties in business have not been
excessive. The total number of failures in the
which is very small quota in view of the
large number in busness-reported by this
Agency at over 65O,OOO. The total amount of
liabilities due by the parties who have failed is
stated to be nearly $7500O,OOO.
Accurate comparison of these figures for the
same six months in previous years is impossi
BILE, owing to the absence of previous semi an
ber of failures for the entire twelve months of
previous years, the following will show a COM
parison sufficiently near the mark for all prac-
tical purposes:

In view of all the unfavorable aud trying Cir
cumstances of the first-half year, the fact that
the failures, as above shown, are only trf1e in
excess of previous seasons, while the liabilities
are absolutely less in amount, shows 'stay-
ing power (as the horse jockeys say) on the
part of the mercantile community which is ex-
ceedingly creditable and encouraging.
This is further illustrated by some startling
facts which the Agency furnishes, as to the fail
ures in other countries. in the following para

is refreshing to know that the governor
has made any move at all to wipe out this
disgrace upon the whole state, but he
should have done still more lie should
have made the reward equal to that offer
ed by the county, and he should have
gone down there personally, visited the
scene OF the assassinations, and stirred up
thelnactive, cowardly county officials to
more vigorous action. These murders, which

principals to the fued, and involved out.
side parties who have been guilty of moth
ing more serious than expressions of opin

grace Illinois has ever suffered. They
have been committed by a pack Of
cowardly assassins who have never me-
their opponents in fair, open fight, and
who have by their secret operations pro
duced reign of terror in that county. Il
| is gratifying to know that the governor
has begun to do something, but he has moi
done enough yet. He must not let thi.
matter rest until the nests of these scoun

brought to the bar Of justice. There il
