Every year increases the popularity
Of this valuable Hair Preparation;
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 only reliable and perfected prep
aration 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 properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates 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 new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

HOTEL ARRIVALS.

Every now and then we hear something of
the glacial Period in the Sierra. We have an
i'll defined notion that the Glacial period is a
good deal of hobby, and that even Ag-
assiz himself having possessed himself OF his
theory set to work to make all nature furnish
the proofs of its correctness and general appli-
cability. However, we are not entitled to an
opinion concerning matter of which we are
so profoundly ignorant, and the foregoing is
only the expression of sort of vague suspic
ion. In the San Francisco Post Of Tuesday
we find the following
The Academy of Sciences met last evening,
Prof Davidson in the chair. A number OF
donations to the library and cabinet were re-
ceived. Among the papers read was one by
DR. Blake on the evidences of the glacial pc
riod in the Sierra Nevada. DR.. Blake first
dealt with the level of Lake Tahoe previous
to and during the glacial epoch. and showed
that the water in Lake Tahoe was 900 feet
higher formerly than at the present time
The waters of the lake escaped by Johnson's
pass and ate out the larger part of the valley
of the south fork of the American river The
present outlet of the lake at Truckee river was
not formed until toward the close of the g a
cial epoch, and has not, as Prof. LIE Conte
maintained, given exit to a large glacier.
The Doctor then read another paper on the
temperature and organic remains IN Lakes
Tahoe and Echo With a surface temperature
in Lake Tahoe of SO degrees, the temperature
at $50 feet deep was 49, s degrees. In Echo
Lake, with the same surface temperature as
at Lake Tahoe, at 146 feet deep it was Al. 4
degrees.

ABOUT THE COUNTY BUILDINGS.

EDITOR MORNING APPEAL;--The condition
of the County Court House and its contents is
simply public shame. Any ordinary confa-
grafton is likely to destroy the entire contents,
consisting of the valuable records of thecoun-
ty in the Recorders and County Clerk
offices. The writer doubts if there is smother
county in the State having its records out
side of fre-proof vaults, in a non-hre- proof
building.
The County Clerk, every citizen knows,
or should know, is without proper vault, or
even storage room, for the valuable papers
filed for litigants and which lie scattered about
his office-rendering their abstraction by any
evil designing person an easy matter.
The building upstairs, occupied by the
County Officers, the District and q. S. Court
rooms, are in disgraceful condition, horribly
ventilated, simply unfit for occupation, more
tit for breeding disease than for anything else.
The upstairs is entirely without water-closet
convenieuces and l believe the first floor Is
also without any, unless the Jail is provided.
Now, Mr. Editor, should any merchant of
this city leave his bills receivable, insurance
policies, etc, where they would be liable to
be destroyed by fire or stolen, say out of
safe or neglect to provide himself with safe
for the proper custody of his papers, and
should lose them the popular verdict would
be "served him right" the loss being consid.
cred what could only be expected from his
carelessness.
The County Commissioners will surely be
blamable and censurable should loss of
county records occur by reason of the present
slipshod and insecure condition of things.
This county imperatively needs a new,
commodious and safe County Building, built
in the center of one or more blocks, with
plenty of yard room for jail purposes. Such
a building would be but justice and decency
shown to our county officials, TO citizens
having business with them and serving as
jurymen-but decency shown to attorneys
and others from other counties in attendance
at the U, S, Court. The accommodations
of that room being absolutely vile.
Let US have new Court House, no matter
whether the present County Building can be
sold or not. TAXPAYER.

A Useful Wife.

We had been out to the graveyard
to bury Mrs. Pidgeon, and we were
riding home in the carriage with
the bereaved widOwer. While he
sopped his eyes with his handker-
chief he told us about her:
"In one respect / never saw her
equal. She was manager. I've
knowed that woman that's lying
out there in the tomb to take an old
pair of my trousers and cut them up
for the boys. She'd make splendid
suit of clothes for both of them out
of them old pants, and cap for
Johnny, and have some left over for
a rag carpet, besides making hand
kerchiefs out of the pockets, and a
hustle for herself out of the other
Innings. Give her any old garment
and it was as good as gold mine.
Why she'd take worn out sock and
make a good Overcoat out of it, /
believe. She had a turn for that
kind of economy. There's one of
my skirts that / bought in 1847 still
going about making itself useful as
window curtains and plenty of other
things. Only last July our gridiron
give out, and she took it apart, and
in two hours it was rugged on the
side of the house as splendid
lightning-rOd, all except what she
had made into Il poker and an ice
pick. Ingenious? Why she kept
our family in buttons and whistles
out of the ham-bOnes she saved, and
she made fifteen pricely chicken
cOops from her old hoop skirts, and
a pig-pen out of her used up corset
bones. She never wasted a solitary
thing. Let cat die around our
house, and the first thing you knew
Mary Jane'd have a muff and a set
Of furs, and I'd begin to find mince
pies on the dinner table. She'd stuff
a feather bed with the feathers that
she'd got off of one little bit of a
rooster, and she'd even utilize the
reaches in the kitchen SOS they'd
run the churn-had a machine she
invented for the purpose. I've seen
her cook potato parings SOS you'd
think they were canVas-back duck,
and she had a way of doctoring up
shavings so that the pig'd eat 'em
and grow fat on 'em. / believe
that woman could a built four
story hotel if you'd a given her a
single pine-board; or steamboat
out Of a wash biler; and the very
last thing she said to me was to bury
her in the garden SOS she'd be use
full down below there, helping to
shove up the cabbages. Ill never
see her like again."
/ don't believe he will either

To arrive at the amount of corn
sent abroad, it is proper to count in
that which goes in the compressed
form of pork. Our annual hog pro-
duct expectation is about 100000
hogs. As it takes about IA bushels
of corn to fatten each hog, that will
be equivalent to about 56,000,000
bushels more of corn to be added to
the exports annually, as sent in the
form of animal food. We also send
a great deal in the shape of whisky.
COrnmeal is included in the eSti-
mate, reduced to bushels.
The increase in England's impor-
tatiOn of breadstuffS from this cOun-
try in the year ending August 81 3,
1877, amounts to almost as much as
the average of her importations
during the ten years preceding. OF
corn alone she took out $4,000, 900
bushels. Her total importation was
about 81, 900, 900 bushels, of which co.
000,0 900 were from this country, and
20, 900, 900 from mSoutheastern Europe.
The importation of corn into Ger
many, France and the United King
dom promises to increase largely, as
of late years a general tendency to
resort to it as food for stock, instead
of oats and cut feed, has been mani
fest. 1t is found to be One-third
cheaper in England than the mate
rial hitherto employed for that use.
Germany's supply will, however,
be drawn mainly from Hungary.
