A REMARKABLE CASE

EAST MlDDLEBoRo', MASS, June 0, 1864.
MEssRs. BURNETT & Co.:
When my daughters hair came off she had been
afflicted with neuralgia in her head for three wears.
She had used, during that time, many powerful APP
plications. These, with the intense heat caused by
the pains. burned her hair so badly that in October,
1861, it all came of, and for two years after her head
was as smooth as her face.
Through the recommendation of a friend, she was
induced to try your COCAINE, and the result was
astonishing. She had not used half the contents Of a
bottle before her head was covered with a fine young
HAIR. In four months the hair has grown several
inches in length, very thick, soft and fine, and Of a
darker coler than formerly.
With respect, WIN. S. EDDY.

FAST FRIENDS. By j. T.. Trowbridge. Boston:
James r. Osgood 8 Co. From Bailey & Noyes.
Fast Friends is a continuation of the story
and adventures of Jack Hazard, which has
been captivating the readers. Of "Our Young
Folks" and est. Nicholas for the last three
years. Now the whole set is complete and in
book form.
1t is natural, simple story of how Jack
Hazard, a much abused little canal driver,
strikes out for himself, AMI by his integrity Of
character overcomes every obstacle, until he
wins 6. chance for himself He continues
doing his best and steadily winning his
way in the love and esteem of his many "fast
friends" -.... .....;...... .....-..
In Fast Friends" Jack goes to the city and
finds his relatives, and the boy life and exploits
are over, but the funny, characteristic episode
of the earlier volumes are wanting, and Jack,
who is so lifelike ON the farm seems out of
place in big city. Hrt
But we are not called upon TO bid final
adieu to Jack or to leave him a prosperous
clerk in a dry goods store, for as the young
Surveyor in one of the early settlements of
northern Illinois, with the wild prairie around
him, he is winning hosts of admirers through
the columns of St. Nicholas.
TROPHIES OF SONG. By Rev. W. F. Crafts. Boston:
d. Lothrop & Co.
This volume contains articles on and Incl
dents illustrative of the power of sacred mu-
sic. 1t supplies pastors, superintendents and
choristers with opinions and suggestions of
Christian writer's and teachers upon the sub
jects of congregational singing, praise meet
ings, and other uses of music in Christian la
Dor. The incidents in regard to the history
and power Of popular hymns will be found Of
interest. An introduction is furnished by DIR.

The British Quarterly Revieto for January is
just received from the Leonard Scott Publishing
Company, Al Barclay Street, New York. The
list of contents is a fresh demonstration OF the
fact so often stated, that this Review, in COM
mon with the others of the series regularly
republished here, aims to keep its readers well
informed on all matters of public interest.
In the first article the writer shows that the
controversy now waging in Germany is "deep-
ly rooted in the historical incompatibility of
the pretensions of the Papacy with the au-
tonomy of the state;;" that the conflict was in
evitable, and admits of no compromise; and
upon every ground of scripture, of reason, of
society," Of history, and of humanity" takes
side with the civil against the ecclesiastical
power, in the struggle for supremacy in the
state.
'The History of Greece" by G. w. Cox, au-
thor of 'The Mythology Of the Aryan Nations
receives much commendation, especially tor the
discrimination between true history and mere
legend. The two volumes now published con-
elude the Peloponnesian War
Article ". is best described in the writer's
own words; "He has sought to present, in the
data of Scriptual religion, a great body ef sci
entifc facts whict must remain positive knowl-
edge in the department of religion, whatever
new knowledge may arise in physical science"
Europe and Peace" would have been more
aptly entitled "Europe Preparing for War"
and for a war of terrific proportions. The de-
scription of the condition and temper of the
nations affords little hope for the continuance
of peace. .- ..l.t.

of Contemporary Literature bring more topics
to the reader attention than we have room TO
particularize. ,..,.... .. .......

IT is well occasionally to take glance at
the history of the better and purer days ofthe
Republic if only to assure ourselves that we
are not SO exceptionally dishonest in this age
as we have been led to believe. We are fire.
quently told that swindles like Credit Mobil-
Ter and the Ell Paso scheme were unknown in
the history of the nation until of late. That
is the assertion; now for the facts. By the
treaty with Great Britain which acknOwl-
edged our independence, the state of Georgia
was secured in the title to 150, 900 square miles
of the most fertile land on the continent. Her
possession was only disputed by Indian tribes.
On the 7th OF January, 1895 the legislature
of Georgia sold to four land companies fifty
million acres of this land, comprising great
er part of the present states of Alabama and
Mississippi, for $5OO,OO0, or one cent an acre.
These land companies were made up main
ly of members of the legislature and their
friends. Every member who voted for the
bill received shares of $4,000 to 112, 900 acres.
This sacrifice OF territory caused great ex-
citement in Georgia, and at the next election
nearly every member of the legislature which
authorized it was given indefinite leave of abb
sense. The act was declared null and void,
and the territory was still held to be public
property. 1t was however found to be i'm
possible to restore the land and title to the
original condition. Men held deeds for the
land signed by the governor under authority
of the legislature. To get rid of the contro-,
versy The territory was ceded to the United
STATES in 1902. The purchasers, under the
sale of 1906, then applied to congress to either
confirm their title or buy their claims. The
matter was finally settled by giving them
$5,0O0,000, payable out of the proceeds Of the
land sold.
When men speak of the degeneracy of our
public men, and the weakening of public hon.
esty, it is well to remember the Georgia land
swindle and some other questionable transac-
tions of our forefathers. 1t is well also to
bear in mind that this swinding act was
passed by aSouthern legislature seventy years
before the advent of the carpet-bagger.

CoMPLMENTARY.-The Chicago Evening
Journal speaks in com mplimentary terms Of Mr..
James f. Clafin, a gentleman favorably known
to many of our citizens, and now a member of
the Illinois Legislature. The Journal says:
Mr.. Clafins reputation as a ripe scholar, and
his general familiarity with subjects OF legisla-
tion had preceded him, and there is little doubt
that if the unhoy alliance between Democrats
and Independents had not been effected, and
Mr.. Cullom had been elected Speaker, that Mr..
Clafin would have been placed at the bead of
probably the Committee on Railroads, sub
iect with which he is very familiar. Mr. Claf-
lin is a forcible speaker and a discriminating
debater His knowledge of parliamentary law
is such as to make him feared by the opposi-
ton. With Republican majority in the House
Mr. Clafiin would have ranked among the most
useful, as he is one of the ablest members of
the House. ..-

THE t,laler has ceased to be the monetary
standard in Germany, and the mark has
been introduced in its stead. The object of
this change is to substitute gold tor silver
standard, because of the great decline in the
value of silver. This decline has been steady,
and a kilogram..of gold is now worth about
sixteen Kilograms of silver. The German
governments hopes to withdraw three hum
dred millions of silver thalers from circulation
substituting therefor the new gold mark.
Three reichsmark are equivalent to thaler.

Mr. OLAFsEN, the commissioner of Ice
landic emigration, has visited Alaska, and has
decided that the Kodiac islands are well suit
ed for colonization by his countrymen. These
islands, which are off the south coast of the
Alaska peninsula, have an agricultural capac-
ity much like that of the north of Scotland,
and moist climate. 1t is said that the eli
mate of Iceland is year by year becoming
more severe, and that the country will soon
be unfit for the habitation of man. The Ice
landers find Canada too warm for them, and
SO have turned their attention to Alaska.
Several hundred of them will probably settle
there in the spring.

man making ready for prize fight or

Whether Moulton and Tilton at recess were
borne to an ante-room and carefully groomed
and watered after the manner of the trotting
