says of President Hayes policy.
The opening signs are auspicious.
Within a week Hayes has written 6
friend in congress words which, if he
sticks to them, will make his admin
istration memorable one for good
the countrye's history. He wrote -
II shall stand by the ideas outlined in
my letter of last summer.
Let Hayes act faithfully UP to the
promise made and the policy which
he announced in his letter OF acecp.

the ardent support Of the most

Of the nation, and will win the graft

some marvellous compound, which they
are willing 10 warrant as sovereign for
that purpose but failures are SO con-
slant that, on the whole, common ex-
perience is against their popularity,
and they are tried with any thing but
implicit faith in their virtues.
What shall be said Of PEE
troleum for such pnrposesP The
remedy Is not expensive, and, there
fore, SO far AS cost is concerned, may
be freely used without injury 10 the
pocket. But the smell, we fear, would
be against its common use. Another
method that costs nothing and il, be.
sides, without the disagree cable odor Of
petroleum, owes It's discovery TO Gen.
Pleasanton, of Philadelphia. Among
the wonderful effects Of blue light, ne
has found that not the least surprising
is that Of covering in a short
time the waste spot on the scalp with a
luxuriant crop Of the product natural
TO the soil II such be fact, then the
BARRIERS and wig-makers are in danger
Of losing large part Of their occupa-
ton. All that appears to be necessary
to obtain beneficial results from blue
light is to live in a room having a few
panes Of blue glass in its windows.
That is all and nothing more!

Persons afflicted with badness will
be glad to hear that luxuriant growth
OF hair may be produced by very sim
pie process described by Consul Stevens
in his commercial report on Nicolaef
for the past year, which has just been
issued. In the summer Of 1875 Consul
Stevcns's attention was drawn to several
cases OF badness among bullocks, COWS,
and oxen, and the loss Of names and
tails among horses. A former servant
Of the consul, prematurely bald, whose
duty il was to trim lamps, had habit
Of wiping his petroleum-bcsmearcd
hands in the scanty locks which re-
NAMED to him; and after three
months Of practical lamp-trim-
ming experience, his dirty habit
procured for hin a much finer
head OF glossy black hair than he ever
possessed before In his recollection.
Struck by this remarkable occurrence,
Consul Stevens tried the remedy on
two retriever spaniels that had become
suddenly bald, with wonderful success.
His experience, therefore, induced him
TO suggest it 10 the owner Of several
black cattle and horses affected as above
stated, and while it stayed the spread
OF the disease among animals in the
same sheds and stables, 1t effected q
quick and radical cure on the animals
attacked. The petroleum should be Of
the most refined American quality,
rubbed in vigorously and quickly with
the palm Of the hand, and applied Al
intervals Of three days six or sever
times in all, except in the case
for horses tails and names, when more
applications may DO requisite. The
world had about begun to despair o
finding genuine remedy which could b
relied upon for restoring hair to balt
head. II Is true, hair-dresscrs and bar

CHCRCH OF ST. JOHN TIE BAPTIST,
NEw ORLEANS. Jan. Alb, 1877. 5
Editor Morning Star;
On several late occasions you have kindly
published notices of the process by which cur
rent business matters affecting the interests of
the Church of st. John the Baptist were being
conducted toward final settlement. You have
coupled compliment with encouragement 30
gracefully and with such effect as to have
pleased earnest workers, and stim ulated refec-
tions which led many to do much good that
otherwise had not been done. Thus have You
established for yourself claim upon the graft
tude Of both the people and clergy of the
parish. The thanks which are your due and
which We hereby publicly accord you, fud ex-
preston in the form Of prayer much more fire.
queutly, and no less sincerely, than in that of
profane speech, oral or printed, TO whomsoever
addressed.
] Although you have correctly detailed the
states Of affairs from time to time, still moth
ing authorized by the parish clergy, nor ema-
mating from them directly, has hitherto ap.
peared in your columns.
Now, however, if you accept this communi-
cation, the contrary will be the case. For with
| the departure Of the old year We have put
away all unseemliness of silence, and passed
! with the new years advance TO q stage of less
reticent action.
We propose TO lay before the readers of the
STAR condensed statement of facts and
figures which will suffice to define the financial
position of the parish, both for the satisfaction
OF the reasonably curious aHd the recitation
Of the arguments of questionable friends.
The accuracy of the following is vouched for
On the 18th day of October, 1874, we were
both installed in the Church of st. John the
Baptist. Since then we have paid S6s $40 -
on account Of the parish debt, leaving due at
the present time only $43, 300.
