NATURES REMEDY

MI ./5&hF This popular Restorative Is one of
'< the best preparations in the market
for the human scalp. Unlike all other Hair pre-
parations it contains no lac sulpher, sugar lead,
nitrats silver, or anything that will iDjure the
health. II causes the hair to grow upon bald
heads. Restores the hair to its normal color when
caused by premature decay. Stops and prevents
the hair from falling out, and stops that unpeas-
ant itching that is the prelude of the hairs decay.
Cures dandruf and all diseases Of the scalp, and
as a Hair Dressing II has equal. Below we

NAL, there are valid and sufficient reasons
to believe that general revival of trade
and confidence throughout the land will
take place. Already the signs are visi-
bic in the West-that most recuperative
section of our country of more hopeful
feeling, and this will be readily responded
to by the South, and once the lately
clogged wheels Of trade are set in motion
the machinery will move on without the
jars and stoppages which have had to be
chroniclcd in the past.
A reporter of the Herald, in order TO
ascertain whether these hopeful signs to
the merchant could be truthful put
forth in these columns, yesterday waited
on many prominent firms to ascertain the
true situation. In the majority of in
stances the members of firms were dis
posed to consider that the black days had
passed, and that with the return of good
weather the spring trade would open in
an unusually lively manner. Indeed, so
confident were they Of this that they had
increased their usual line of importations.
The war between the railroads would also
help the merchants, inasmuch as
freights were low, and would
tempt buyers. Many Of the steam
ship companies were visited-the White
Star, lnman and French Trans. Atlantic.
The information there derived tended to
the belief that importers were anticipat-
ing heavy spring trade on account Of
the increase of cargoes manifested to New
York merchants. The bitter warfare be-
tween the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany and the Union Pacific Railroad end
ing as it has done, looks to better feel.
ing in Wall street, and as the American
rialto is the financial pulse Of the coun-
try, and it has been beating high Of late,
it is safe to assume that its throbs will
give additional life and vigor to the coun.
try.

"A curious case of assumption of sex
was lately discovered in Paris. A pen

this grandfather forced her to enlist in

twice, and severely, at Waterloo. She
was then admitted to the hospitals as an

which will look for profitable employ

ice barriers to commerce, which have so
seriously affected business, both on land
and water. Our canals will be open in a

The Shooting Of K0sterman at Cam.

(From the Anoka Union, 9th:)
On Tuesday last Constable Smith of

with criminal offence. MIR. Smith

man and told him he must come along
with him. Kosterman Immediately grap-
pied with the officer and fierce struggle
ensued, Smith calling on the bystanders
to assist him in arresting Kosterinan, but
none came to his aid. Smith finally got
Kosterman down, and with one hand on
his throat, drew his revolver with the
other, and threatened to shoot him unless
he yielded and came along with him.
Koslerman affected to acquiesce, and was
allowed to get up, when he Sprang round
behind the counter and retreated
to the further end, par

counter, reached under the desk, saying

Thinking he was reaching for his revolver,
and that his own life was at stake. Smith
fired upon him, the ball taking effect in
Kosterman's breast.
The wounded man lived but few min.
utes. Mr.. Smith, after arresting the
other parties named in the writ, and de-
livering them in court, surrendered him
self to Lyman Brown, a justice If the
peace, and gave bail in the sum Of So 5000
for his appearance before the grand jury
at the next term of court. The general
opinion in the community is that the
officer was fully justified in shooting, and
that the desperate character of Roster
man warranted him in the belief that his
own life was in danger.

The Governor Of Arkansas Sets Apart
Thursday, March 26th, as a Day Of
Thanksgiving for Their Deliver
ance.-PalriOtic Address,.
Little Rock Telegram, March g.

LAIIt1c hOch Telegram, Marcu o.
The Governor to-day issued procla-
nation appointing Thursday, March Goth,
a day of thanksgiving for the many bless
ings which have been showered upon the
State during the past twelve months.
Referring to the adoption Of the Poland
report, the Governor says:
eve have been sustained by the true
Conservative Republican sentiment of
the North, which is one Of the most graft
flying features connected with the strug-
gle, and one which we should feel proud
of; and We should strive by all means to
prove ourselves worthy of this endorse
ment, so emphatically given by those sup.
posed to differ with US politically, who
were begged and importuned, under all
circumstances, to put us down. With all
we have undergone, if our cause has been
the occasion Of harmonizing and uniting
liberal and conservative elements in the
nation that have heretofore been dis.
cordant, we are more than paid, and it
should be one of our chief duties to See
that they be kept together.
Hereafter, as Governor of the State,
enjoin upon all persons to see that peace
and order are preserved, all violators OF
the law promptly looked after, and those
engaged arrested and brought to answer
before the law. The preventing of prompt
Furnishing of individual infractions Of law
is the surest guard against mobs and gen
eral outbreaks that sometimes occur and
almost defy the entire power Of the
government. As we have been
peaceful ard law-abiding, and
thereby won respect and confidence every
where, let US continue to enforce the laws,
and see that each and every citizen may
feel he owns direct interest III the gov.
eminent, while that government not only
can, but is able and ready to protect him.
Stir up no strife; revive no past political
differences or animosity; prosecute no one
that may have differed or that may here
after differ with US; let US at all times. in
fact, exercise ''charity to all, and malice
toward none." Should there be any in.
dictments in the courts for past political
offenses, l would suggest and advise their
dismissal. Let the people Of parties,
races and colors come and be welcomed to
our State, and encouraged to aid US in
bringing her up to the position Of true
greatness"

The Commissioner Of Revenue Re
plies to the Bankers Queries.
GNew York Telegram, March ILL.,

New York Telegram, March ILL.,
F. 7. Tappan, president of the Gallatin
National Bank Of this city, addressed, in
behalf of himself and other bankers, a
letter to the Commissioner of National
Revenue, asking his decision on the fol-
lowing questions:
First. Are notes, drafts, and acceptan.
ances, when made payable at bank, sub.
ject to the stamp tax Of two cents, and if
so. does the tax apply to notes, drafts
and acceptances drawn or accepted prior
to February 6th, 1875, and which have
matured and since been paid?
Second. Does the tax apply to checks
drawn by bank upon itself for the pur.
pose Of paying its own dividend coupons
and the interest of other corporations
Third. Are checks drawn by State,
county or city government on bank
subject to this tax?
The following is the reply of the Com
missioner:
reply to your specific question
First That if there is any understanding
between the bank and maker of notes to
accept checks, drafts or orders payable at
the bank. that all such notes and accep-
tanees shall be paid by the bank an charg-
ed on account of the maker, drawer, or
accept1r, in the same manner as ordinary
checks would be, such notes and accep.
tances are considered liable to the two
cent? tax as vouchers for the payment of
money by the bank. This applies to
notes, drafts, etc., made, drawn, or accep.
ted prior to February 9Th. 1875, when
paid by the bank on or after the date.
Second--This tax applies to checks
drawn by bank upon itself for the pur-
pose of paying its own dividend, cou-
pons, or the interest Of other corpora
tons or other payments.
Third--Checks drawn by State, coun-
ty or city officials, in their official capac-
ity, upon public funds deposited in a
bank, are exempt if such funds are kept
separate from any private account, it not
being within the intent Of the law to tax
the public treasury.
will add with reference to some other
questions frequently proposed to this
office, that orders for dividends are sub
ject to the tax if drawn for definite and
certain sum, but not otherwise. An ordi-
nary certificate of deposit, used in the
ordinary manner. is not liable. Interest
coupons are considered exempt. Bills of
exchange, foreign as well as inland, when
drawn upon a banker, maker, or trust
company, are held subject to tax, wheth-
| er payable at sight or otherwise. Dupli.
cate orders, &C., are liable, same as orig
inal. Receipts not relating to banking
business--for instance, for rents-are ex-
empt. Very respectfully,
j. w. DOUGLAS. Commissioner.

MIR, TlltonsS Brother.
Mr.. Richards, Mrs. Tilton's brother,
Was STRONGLY condemned nv morv ,ove-

Mr.. Richards, Mrs. Tilton's brother,
was strongly condemned by many news
papers a. the time he gave his testimony,
aud subsequently by Mr.. Tracy in his
opening speech for the defendant. Mr..
Richards has felt very keenly the abuse
heaped upon him, and has prepared a
statement. Indeed, he has written out
two statements, setting forth his reasons
for testifying, and what he had heard
which justified him in suspecting Mr..
Beecher, and advising Mr.. Tilton to for.
bid Mr.. Beccher's visits to his wife.
Neither ofthese statements Mr.. Richards
has published, and his friends yesterday
stated that he had finally
decided not to publish anything,
but wait until called again, if he
is to be recalled, for an opportunity to
explain. His friends added, however,
without denying or confirming the rumors
that Mrs. Tilton had confessed adultery
to her brother and his wife.-that it
might be stated that, in his language
quoted above, Mr.. Richards did not allude
to anything he had heard from either
Mr.. or Mrs. Tilton. Some years ago he
had been employed in the Office Of the
Independent, then as now conducted by
Fl. c. Bowen, and he had there heard It
repeatedly asserted that Mr.. Beecher was
in the habit of making improper visits to
several houses in Brooklyn. These asser-
tions were so frequent and positive that
Mr.. Richards became convinced there was
foundation for them, and, when he
found Mr.. Beccher with Mrs. Tilton un-
der the circumstances he described in
court, he was quick to suspect wrong.
He did not tell Mr.. Tilton what he had
seen, but did tell him what he had heard
about Mr.. Beecher, and urged him to
put stop to Mr.. Beecher's visits, which
he was convinced were not clerical mere
ly. He spoke to his wife the same night
about the occurrence.

The Speakership of the American
House of Representatives is a post of
honor, of dignity, Of power, of RESPONSE
bllity. Its duties are at once complex
and continuous; they are both onerous
and delicate; they are performed in the
broad light of day, under the eye If the
whole people, subject at all times to the
closest observation, and always attended
with the sharpest criticism. I think no
other official is held to such instant and
such rigid accountability. Parliamentary
rulings in their very nature are peremp-
tory almost absolute in authority and
instantaneous in effect. They cannot
always be enforced in such way as to
win applause or secure popularity y; but
am sure that no man Of any party who is
worthy to fill this chair will ever see a
dividing line between duty and policy.
Thanking you once more, and thank.

Immense numbers of inquiries are duly

to prevent any parties entering it, and If
they should enter. force will be used to
expel them if necessary, and
Indian runners will be constantly
employed, who will give prompt notice Of
the approach Of parties. There is but
