NOTES AND OPINIONS.


Every day the world realizes more
fully the power welded 10y the public
press, and its con ductors should always
be careful and sternly conscientious in
guarding their words with difcretlon
and in taking heed to do the thing
that is right. 1t speaks to the young
as well as to the old; to the innocent
and pure as we'll as those guile, and
should always come as u pure instruc-
tor.
A simple way of dressing the hair
for a very young lady is to separate
the front hair as far as the top OF
the bead, the side hair is pushed back
and fastened on the top OF the head !;
then the front hair is taken loosely
down over the side hair. The back is
arranged in long braids. The ends of
the front hair are curled down the
back over the braids. Over where the
hair is fastened there are loops of
rather wide ribbon falling downward
between the braids. ta

band has now n family and is rich.
The other day, after forty yerrs of 81
lence, she puts in an appearance and
asked for her husband, claiming that
her story about a divorce was false
hood. The matter will probably come
before the courts.
The return of n large number of eX
Confederates to places under the Gen
eral Government, and the acceptance
of the theory that their services are
necessary in order to the full restora
ton of the peaceful and harmonious
administration Of public affairs, give
rise to the most bitter complaints from
some of the Radical politicians. rheil
declarations are somewhat like that o
the French physician of 1ngraude, DIR
Lamnelongue, who, having received
from Frederickshall circular offer
ing to sell him the famous "bltter-wa
tern of that Spa, Indignantly replied
that France had no need of Germat
