State Constitution devoting the 100000 acres
of Internal improvement Lands and the pro-
ceeds thereof to the adjustment of the Mime
sofa State Railroad Bonds in accordance with
"An Act to provide for the payment Of the
bonds known as the Minnesota State Railroad
Bonds" approved March l, 1877.
And whereas the Act first mentioned re-
quires that the proposed amendment shall
be submitted to the people for their approval
or rejection at special election which shall
be held on Tuesday the 10Th day of June in
the present year." notice of which election
shall be given by proclamation of the Cover

Now, therefore, in accordance with the

The juno Debt Staten.le mt.

The public debt statement shows that
the payments made from the treasury by war
rants during the month Of May, exclusive of
payments made Oh account of interest ON the
principal of the public debt of the United
States were as follows: On account of civil
and miscellaneous, $685., 713.O5; war, s3,121,-
936. 10; navy, $4a5, 1878; interior, Indians and
pensions, $4o1 ,4O6.4a; total, s155s2, S49.3 80.
The large reduction of the public debt during
the month Of May is partly explained by the
fact that large sums are due to the navy,
and for necessary expenses Of the other de-
partments, but for which there is no appro-
priation. The ordinary decrease of the debt is
five millions.

The inventors of BURNETT's COCAINE
knowing that when the loss of hair occurs, it
is generally from that part of the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily generated, and
that animal fats by their nature induce heat
rather than alleviate it-turned their attention
and pharmaceutical science toward vegetable
oils, as the basis of a medicament to promote
the growth and preserve the beauty of the
hair. The OleuD, cOcos, or COCOANUT OIL, pre-
scented itself moststrongly, as possessing many
properties peculiarly adapted for the purpose;
but its odor was Objectionable, and its density
Except when exposed to heaD seemed for
long time to defy all efforts to render it availa
bic, for popular use, in cooler climates. By a
scientific selection of other ingredients, those
which will chemically combine with the Oil
have been discovered, and they together have
produced a compound which is unqualfiedly
pronounced to be the best that has yet appeared.
In the form presented, this oil is permanent
ly deOdOriZed, and held in a combination which
peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; BURNETT's
COCAINE is unrivaled in delicacy and agreea-
bleness-ceoling in its nature-and possesses
such penetrating affinity for the secretiOns
of the skin, that it is rapidly absorbed
Its greatest efficacy is best secured by per-
feet cleansing, before its application, of the
hair and scalp, under which circumstances
this Oil attdys irritation, removes all tendency to
ddndrut, and i,amgo,utcs the action of the capil-
laries in the highest degree. Its effect upon
the glOssiness and richness of the hair is such
as cannot be surpassed; and it is offered to the
public in the firm belief that it only requiresto
