Every year increases the populari-
iy of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

region of territory where it is pursue d
the product for the current year being
laid at larger figures than ever. To-,
this picture there is no shading but
what is furnished by debased and
wasteful currency, and a tax-tamff that
takes from thirty to forty-milions
more from the pockets Of the people.
On the whole, the prospects for a gen
eral business recovery are very prom
ising. The people are free to pursue
their own interests, and these arc
drawn by the law Of necessity into
obedience to the statutes Of supply
and demand, A fortnight Of clearing
weather will etfec.ually open the
country to the ingress OF trade intlu-
ences, and it will not be long after
that all the wheels, great and small,
will begin to move together, dispelling
the gloomy stagnation which for Il
year or more has settled over all
branches of industry and business.
Prices have touched rock bottom, and
there is now but one way for trade to
move. The prospect is calculated TO
inspire confidence Oh all sides. - Bos-

Exactly as a salutatory grace. 1t is

exactly as a salutatory grace. 1t is
now happily honored in the breach
In Turkey an American travelling
with his unveiled wife, even without
the APPENDICES, so usual here, Of six
small children and seven large trunks
and bandboxes, is to them in a funny
predicament. On the otI.er hand.
what would be funny with us, among
the Turks is quite the reverse. An
American gives us an instance in his
experience in Syria, He was about
to mount his mule amidst crowd Of
Oriental visitors, and wished to give
them an exaggerated idea of American
agility. lie jumped y little too far,
and overshot the mark. coming down
on the other side like diver, with his
hands and nose in the mud his feet
caught i'll the saddle, and his coat
skirts clevcrly rolled over bis head to
screen him from what he supposed
was a laughing Gro wd. Yet not a
soul smiled, not sound was heard
save tender grunt OF sympathy and
demure offers Of aid. Now a Turk in
America, with baggy br"echcs and
turbaned head, taking a leap over a
mule in the streets OF an American
city, and getting stuck upside down,
with his proboscis in q rut and his
heels in the saddle, would he saluted
with something more than q grunt Of
sympathy and demure offers of aid
We have more humor than dignity
the Turks more oignity than humor
There never was IN American who
would not sacrifice his courtesy and
sympathy to his fan. He must have
it, however, well seasoned, and done
in hurry, and its prevailing charac-
torisdc must be cXaggeratlon. You
saw this illustrated even in the inor
dinate hopes of SO calm and sedate 4
statesman as Mr.. Scwald as to the
closing up of oar late civil war in
sixty days, That was the huge joke
of Our time. There was Il court in
General Grants army which sentenced
a man to work ten years on General
Buffers Dutch Gap Canal and 1t was
generally said, if not believed, in the
army that Palmer, who made the
patented limbs, had puschased 20OO
acres OF Western land, and planted
them with locust and maple, with a
view to economic in the future in his
of arms and legs. 1.-The

ARE FAT MEN nUMoRol ?--"Fat
men are always humorous" says one
who has a theory, and Falstaff is III
tlojuced as the illustration. These an.
ologles OF nature are pressed into the
service Of this olcaginous theory.
Tom Hood is quoted where he says OF
the Australian soil that lit is SO fat
that, tickle it with hoe, and it will
laugh with a harvest" But fun and
fat do not necessarily 60 together.
Moisture Of the muscles and layers OF
lard have no more to DO with humor
than meat has with manhood. Little
DR.. Holmes would show you that by
one turn of his "trcad-mill.' The
beasts which feed mort are the dull
est. We must reject, then, the adj
pose theory, lfw are to judge of a
mans .iolity by the juicincss Of his
body, one would think an American
to be the jolliest of mortals, for his
selivary glands @e in perpetual tlux.-

Business E'r0SpectS.

The condition of the country in re.
spect to its products and its markets,
or, in other words, as to demand and
supply, is so promising after year
devoted to the task of liquidation that
the universal expectation is of d reyi-
val of business as soon as winter shall
release us from its rigid bonds. Con-
gress'has adjourned and taken all dis
turbing influences with it, leaving the
people free to direct trade and indus
try as they will. They now have
things comparatively in their own
hands, With the worst they are al
ready acquainted. Having set their
house in order since the panic, they
are prepared to resume operations on
q soundcr basis this Spring, in which
every circumstance OF the time encour-
ages them. The markets Of the agri-
cultural interior are nearly depleted of
stocks, while manufactured goods are
held back for satisfying the renewed
demand. The restraints Of winter
cannot much longer delay the opening
Of all the avenues Of trade, both small
and great, and we shall soon witness Il
new life on all the highways Of trans.
portation, The markets Of Europe
show ain improvement in the prices of
wheat, which is greatly encouraging
to Western agriculturists in view of
the fact that large stores Of grain are
still in the country awaiting an export
summons. Once let this great wheel
in business move, and the effect is in
stantly seen in the railroads, the At
lantic ports, the ocean traffic, the rev.
enues, and in all the avenues Of trade
and their countless qualifications. 1t
is the weather now, more than any
other obstacle, that will letard deyel-
opments which the material state of
the country strongly invites. The
field is clear for revival in business
that shall be permanent because it is
bound to be conservative and sound.
In New York all the symptoms Of
trade are exceedingly favorable. The
Times gives q most hopeful sketch of
the immediate future as it is interpre-
ted there. 1t refers to the significant
fact, too, that the general stock mar
ket is steadily rising, showing that it
is the work of substantial rather than
speculative causes. This it styles the
barometer Of trade. With the revival
of business it predicts brisk demand
for houses and real estate. 1t likewise
believes that determined effort is to
be made this Spring to push trade
with the Pacific coast and to develop
the rich territory between the Missou-
ri river and that far. western limit.
The railroad and the steamship COM
Lanies have effected consolidation,
the rates of freight are to be advanced,
and an increase of from one to two
millions in the roads earnings is ex-
pected for the year. Mining is ex-
tremely prosperous through the entire
