Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
It's high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by it's use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, 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
economical HAIR-DREssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and | consider it

The Theatre Royal in Edinburgh,
which was recently destroyed by fire,
was the principal place Of amusement in
that city; and this is the third time it
has been burned down within the last
forty years. On the occasion OF this
last fire no lives were lost, as the alarm
was given in the afternoon, by an eX-
plosion which apparently took place at
the top of the building, but no one was
in the theater at the time. 1t is stated
that previous to the opening of the thea
ter for public performances it was in
spected by magistrates, who reported
that "the apparatus preventing the
spread of fire, should fire occur, and the
means of exit, are of the most satisfac-
tory kind" This apparatus consisted
of an iron screen made specially tor the
purpose, and hung at the proscenium.
to be worked by hydraulic power. AS
an additional precaution, there was
placed Immediately above the stage a
cistern capable of containing 1000 gal
Ions of water. Hose was always at
tached to pipes connected with the cis-
tern, ready in case of an emergency;
but at the recent fire there was no
chance of bringing the apparatus to the
test of actual trial. On the other hand,
the great heat evaporated the 200O gal
Ions of water, and the tank burst about
four O'Clock, with loud report, heard
above the roar OF the fire.

Mexico bids for Immigrants.

A correspondent writing from the City
of Mexico says:
Not only by the Government, but also
on the part of private citizens, the most
liberal offers have been made to further
immigration. Messrs. Manuel Castillo
~ Co. have presented a plan which is
much approved, and Mr.. Martinez de la
Tore has offered his splendid estates
on the Gulf, to actual settlers. ON the
most liberal terms. Other capitalists
have adopted the same course, and SO
there is chance of seeing the Mexican
race improved by degrees. Ot the pro-
positions made some time ago by Messrs.
Quesnal & Co., to bring emigrants
from Hayre, we have heard nothing
more. The fact that q French house
was at the bottom OF it is enough to mis-
trust the scheme. Neither has anything
been done yet to renew the diplomatic
relations with France and England; the
official paper denying even that any ar
rangement had been made with British
bondholders, because they wanted to ill.,
clude in their claim the loan made to
the unfortunate Macmillan.
The Government has tried to initiate
other nations in scientific expeditions;
we had news from Nagasaki about an
expedition for observing the transit of
Venus. Mr.. Cobaunbias appeared we'll
satisfied, and was going to make trip
around the world. Mexico will also be
represented at the Centennial Exhibi-
tion at Philadelphia. Every Governor
is desired to work in its favor, and be-
sides a large collection of Mexican pro-
duce and manufactures, our artists are
hard at work to present proofs of Mexi-
can art. Mr.. Casarin, a scholar of Meis-
sounior, is preparing some remarkable
pictures in the Ceramic style, and
Messrs. Monroy and Obregon, scholars
of the Academy OF San Carlos, are fin
ishing two large historic pictures, the
"Abrazo de Acatunpam," between
Guerrero and Yturbide, and the other,
Gen. Brayos pardoning three shundred
prisoners. The Government is also 60
ing to send representation to the Geo.
graphical Coneress to be held at Paris,

ceived the appointment, who is already
decorated with the Order of the Legion
d'Honneer.

A Washington correspondent tells the
following story of Pichback's nerve !:
"Pinch," some years ago, got into an al
tercation with another colored man in a
saloon in New Orleans. His opponent
became violently excited, and drew a
huge navy revolver, which he rested
Rcross his right arm and began banging
AWAY at "P1nch," who was not over ten
feet away. "Pinch" drew his revolver
to defend himself, and although the fel-
low was shooting at him he examined
the chambers of his revolver before at
tempting to shoot. His opponent had
fred three shots before "Pinch" was
ready, he having to turn the chambers of
his revolver around, as some of them
were empty. The fellow shot him twice.
One ball glanced OFT "Pinch's" RIBS and
the other went in his shoulder. The third
struck the wall behind him. During all
this unpleasantness "PincE" was calmly
fixing his revolver, and when he had it
fixed SO that he was sure it was all right,
he quietly planted a bullet between his
opponents eyes and thus ended the fight.

WASHINGTON, March o. Senator
Johnson's speech of yesterday is still
the principal topic. 1t is variously COM
mented upon-the EX-President's politi-

more than an ordinary speech. The

notable feature being the absence of col

humber of Mn Johns0n's old supporters.

for this week, and the probabilities are
that it will occur on tomorrow or Thurs
day.
