gloss aud freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often. though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such rs remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use Mill prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives TO the
scalp arrests and prevents the forna-
ton Of dandruif, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the lRir, giving it rich, glossy
lastrc, and a grateful perfume.

IMPROVEMENTS IN Music PRINfIx0-
NJ. Lourdel, the well-known French
photographer has made some ingeni.
Gus Improvements in music printing.
In the latter art, as is we'll known, it is
necessary to have. first Of oil, ths Cgml
position lightly sketched on sheets Of
tin, after which it Is engraved on tho
plate by . workman, who holds a
punch in his left band and hammer
In his right As the design has to be
transferred. it IS engraved reversed,
wliich requires both an experienced
eye and a steady hand. In order to
save the large expense Of the sheets Of
tin, NJ. Lourdel's plan is to take piece
Of transfer paper, which has been pre-
viously lined and spaced; the work
man has before him a composition
case like printers, which contains in
each division tool, at the extremity
Of which is a musical sign; beside him
is pad impregnated with transfer
ink-he therefore lays the ruled :fans-
fer paper before him, and with the
right hand he takes the musical signs,
notes, etc., inks them, and then prints
the paper without the slightest effort,
and with entirely satisfactory results.
1t is simply a matter of regularity and
rapidity, speed being easily acquired
after little practice. The music is
then transferred to the stone, and

THE DEATH OF DE KALB.
t1o Es ooTznusn]

Above them all lowered the gallant Ger
man ut their head. His sword was stained
deepest, his battle-cry rang clearest; there
was triumph in the keen flash of his eye
if not the victor's triumph, the triumph Of
duty done. Three times he led his willing
men to the charge. Three times they
were forced back by superior numbers.
For numbers began to tell. His horse
was shot under him. His head was laid
open by sabre-stroke. Jaquette, the
Adjutant of the Delaware Regiment,
bound up the wound with his scarf, and
besought him to withdraw from the fight.
Without needing the appeal, De Kalb led
the charge on foot. Wound followed
wound, but he held his ground desperate
iy. At last, concentrating his strength in
final charge, Cornwallis came on. The
Marylanders broke. DE Kalb fell, bleed
ing from eleven wounds, still at this SUI
preme moment strong enough to cut down
a soldier who was aiming bayonet at his
breast. "The rebel General, the rebel
Generalr' shouted the enemy, as they
caught sight of his epaulettes. Spare
the Baron dc Kalb," cried his Adjutant
Dubuysson, vainly throwing himself upon
his body and trying TO shield it with his
own from the thirsty bayonets. He spoke
to hearts hardened by the fierce spirit of
battle. The furious English raised the
helpless warrior from the ground, and
leaning him against a wagon began to
strip him. At this moment CORVALLIS and
his suite rode up. They found him al
ready stripped to his shirt, and with the
blood streaming from eleven wounds. II
regret to see you so badly wounded. but
am glad to have defeated you" said the
victorious General, and Immediately gave
orders that his brave antagonist should be
properly cared for. For three days his
strong frame struggled with death. Du-
buysson watched by his bedside. English
officers came 10 express their sympathy
and regret. Soldier to the last, his thoughts
were with the brave men who had faced
the enemy so gallantly al his command.
and just before he expired he charged his
faithful Adjutant to give them his "thanks
for their valor, and bid them m affection
ate farewell" On the 10Th he died, three
days after the battle. The Masons Of the
British army took part in his funeral. and
buried him with Masonic rites. Gates an
nounced his death to Congress in terms
of warm admiration, and Congress voted
monument to his memory, which has
never been erected.-TAs Attoatic.

MAGNETIC IRON SAND.-Ths fnvesti-
CATION made of the circumstances at
tending the wreck of the Ottawa, or
the Taraniki coast, tends to confirm
tho belief, long since entertained by
scientific men, that the magnetic sand,
which there abounds in such immense
quantities, is the cause of the steering
compasses Of ships and steamers run
ming along shore in that region becom-
ing deranged. This has been alleged as
the cause Of the loss of the steamer Air
dale, and some three or four other ves-
sells. It will be remembered that some
fifteen years ago, many vessels were
cast ashore on the South American
coast, and, after many close investiga-
tions, it was discovered that the base
Of some Of the mountains along the
coast limo contained large quantities
Of iron ore.

F1RE-PRooF JoIsr. - An ingenious
kind of tire-proof joist recently intro
duced, consists of slip Of wood five
inches wide, by tive-eighths of an inch
thick belted between two tianged strips
of quarter inch iron, making a beam
quito as strong as those Of wood or
dinarily employed. The iron sides, in
addition to affording strength, it is
claimed, render the joist substantially
tirc-proof, whilc the centre of wood af-
fords the means Of putting down floors

PRESERVING WooD BIZ THE APPLIcA-
TIoN OF L1ME.-Thc method Of preserv-
ing wood by the application Of lime, as
pursued by NJ. Svostal, is published
in the French journals. He piles the
planks in q tank, and puts over all
layer Of quicklime, which is gradually
slaked with water. Timber for mines
requires about IA week to be thorough
ly impregnated, and other wood more
or less time according to its thickness.
The materia, acquires remarkable con-
sistcnce and hardness on being sub
jected to this simple process, and, it is
alleged, will never rot. Beech wood
has been prepared in this way for ham,
mers and other tools for iron works,
and it is said to become as hard as oak
without parting with any Of its we'll
known elasticity or toughness, and to
last much longer than when not thus
prepared.
