Being free from oil and alcohol, it has a
healthy action on the scalp, restoring gray
hair to its natural color without dyeing
it, cures itching of the scalp. removes
and prevents dandruff, and will thick

From the Washington Star of Tuesday.

THE SOUTHERN MARYLAND RAIL
RoAD.-Yestertaayin the Equity Court,
Judge Wylie, Messrs. Daniel Clarke,
Duncan s. Walker and L. G.. Hine fled
a bill for Messrs. Star, Ridenour, Cal.
ahan, Burgess and other creditors (con-
tractors) and the Washington City and
Point Lookout II. r. Company against
the Southern Maryland Railroad, for
an injunction and the appointment of
receiver. The bill states that the de-
PENDANT has received the subscription of
Sl63 900 from the Treasurer of the
State of MARYLAND, and has issued bonds
for 50, 200, 900, secured by a deed of
trust, to the Union Trust Company of
New York, but without express author
ity, and these bonds have been issued
to some extent and placed in the hands
of various parties. The compliments
charge that some are in the hands of a
committee of creditors of the defendant,
and some have been used as collaterals
to secure private debts. They state
that nearly the whole road has been To-
Gated from Brandywine to Point Look
out; >that the right of way has been Sc.
cured, much of the grading done, and
they claim to have had 1900 ties along
the line, aud some of them have been
sold to the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad. They recite the proceedings
in Prince Georges and st. Mary's coun-
ties, and the appointment of receivers
in those counties. They charge that by
proper management the Sl63, 900 paid
by the Treasurer of Maryland would
have been sufficient to pay for what has
been done without resorting to the is
sue Of bonds; and if there has been re-
ceived 100000 on account of stock
subscription, as alleged, the Company
should have large surplus. They ask
that an injunction be issued prohibiting
the defendants from selling or dispos-
ing Of the property; that they may be
made to discover the true condition of
its affairs, and that receiver be APP
pointed.
Judge Wylie made decree appoint
ing N. F. Cleary the receiver, fixing his
bonds at $40, 900, and issued tempo
rary restraining order, and also an or
der for defendants to turn over the pre-
perty in the jurisdiction of the Court to
the receiver.
Colonel 8. 8. Smoot, President of
the Southern Maryland road, says the
Company had no previous intimation of
the legal action above noted, and that
it is simply scheme to prevent him
from building the road which he is

The Natohez Democrat-Courierg gives
an interesting account Of a number en-
ployed in Chic0t county, Arkansas.
They are most serviceable as tenants,
and display far more ability than the
colored man. The terms usually made
are one hundred pounds Of lint cotton to
the acre, the planter furnishing mule
with which to cultivate the crop. At
early dawn the Chinaman has had his
breakfast and Is in the field. at eleven
O'Clock one of their number is sent in to
cook their dinner, the hour for which is
announced by the display of q small
pennant. Half an hour is usually con-
sumed at the meal, and returning to the
field they work until dark. During plow-
ing time planters are compelled to. see
to it that their animals have time to rest
and eat, as the Celestials appear to be
blessed with no compunction where
mules are concerned. Their pl0wing is
with furrows-straight as rule. They
also seem to be adopts in cultivating
vegetables, all their gardens being kept
in perfect order. A supply of the prin-
clpal vegetables is carefully dried and
kept for the winter. Their houses are
the personification of neatness, every
utensil being secured bright as silver,
while their clothes are clean, and in per-
sonal appearance they are never often
sive. With great difficulty they can be
restrained from working on sunday.

was refused stay Of proceedings.
Clark has had hopes OF new trial, or
Of a reprieye, to the last moment.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. 19,-This
morning Clark awoke refreshed after a
good nights sleep and partook of break
fast. Rev.. Mr. Tucker, his spiritual
adviser visited him. Clark was resigned
tQ.his fate. He was wiling to die for his
crime. All that he desired was that it
be private.
The Sheriff and reporter from each
paper were the only ones edmitted to
see the execution. He bid each good
by, shaking hands with them. AS the
cap was being drawn on his head he
bowed to one OF the reporters. At 11:28

him into eternity. He died easy. The
body hung twenty minutes before 1t was
cut down.

A Story That Reads Like q Novel.

A paper in Portland, Me-, has singu-
lar story in regard to family named
Rodman. The family consisted of hus-
band (Johnl, wife and two children
Charles ami Mary. They were burned
out at the time OF the fire in Portland in
1866, after which they removed to Har-
lem, N. Y. Soon after going there Mr..
Rodman had chance to go to Yalpa-
raiso. He left his family with his broth
er when he started, and tor some time
he sent money to them, but at last his
letters ceased to come, and the brother
having died, Mrs. Rodman and her two
children returned to Portland, and sup
ported them with her needle. Some time
about 1871 Charlie went to sea and the
vessel was lost, and 1t was supposed
that he would never be heard from.
Some time ago Mrs. Rodman saw an
advertisement in New York paper,
stating that If Mrs. Elizabeth Rodman,
wife OF John Rodman, OF Portland, Me-,
would address certain New York law
yers she would hear OF something to her
advantage. She at once started tor New
York with her daughter, and learned
there that her husband had become very
wealthy and was soon to arrive in New
Orleans. He had not received a letter
from her for a long time before he ceased
to write, and supposed she was dead,
but inserted the advertisement to see
what he could hear. The mother and
daughter started for New Orleans, where
they arrived few days before the ves-
sci which was to bring the absent hus-
baud and father. One day while on the
street they were insulted by ayoung
man, who was promptly knocked down
| by young sailor, VINO proved to be none
other than Charlie Rodman, who mad
| been saved from the vessel which was
lost. On the arrival of Mr.. Rodman the
family was once more united.

The Canal.


The Canal.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The Independ-
ent, editorially speaking Of the latest
phase Of the Beecher case, says: The
result which Plymouth Church has tried
to avoid has come upon her, and her &C.
clesiastical isolation is very near at
hand. OF the finding Of the lately ap-
pointed Congregational Council 1t thinks
there can be but little doubt. 1t consid-
ers that the Council will be compelled to
rebuke Plymouth Church, and unless
that Church shall withdraw from its
action and proceed to meet the charge
made by Mrs. Moulton by formal trial,
either of her or of Mr.. Beecher, the
Council will recommend to the Churches
to withdraw their fellowship.
The seventh annual meeting OF the
American Women Suffrage Association
was held at Steinway Hall yesterday.
Col. Z. w. Higginson was elected Chair
man. The report of the Executive Com
mittee was read by Mrs. Lucy Stone.
The report states that the cause has
gained substantially during the past
year, both here, in Europe and in South
America. Events have occurred which
have aided in placing women on an equal
footing with the other sex. The pros
pect for the woman suffrage movement
is considered highly encouraging. Res
olutions were read by the Executive
Committee declaring that women who
obey the laws should have part In
their enactment; that women who pay
taxes should have voice in their ex-
|penditures, and protesting against the
subsection and Acknowledgement of
women as injurious to society, destruc-
tive to morals, and corrupting 10 poll
tics.
