domestic infelicity," which newspaper re-
porters nowadays credit with playing such an
important part in life's drama, is often the re.
suit of lingering or chronic disease. what
husband or wife can be cheerful, smiling and

lures of some dread disease Perhaps the
husbands liver becomes torpid, and he expert
ences bitter, disagreeable taste or nausea, has
chilly sensations, alternating with great heat
and dryness of the surface Of his body, pain in
his sides, shoulders or back, eyes and skin are
tinged with yellow, feels dull, indisposed, and
dizzy. Through his suffering. he becomes
gloomy, Respondent, and exceedingly irritable
in temper. Instead Of resorting to 30 reliable a
remedy as a few doses Of DR. Pierce's Purgative
Pellets, and following up their action with the
use Of Golden Medical Discovery, to work the
hillary poison out of the system and purify the

Continuing to suffer, his nervous system be-

tic infelicity." Or the good wife may, from
her too laborious duties or family cares, have
become subject to such chronic affections as are
peculiarly incident to her sex, and being reduced
in blood and strength, suffering from backache,
nervousness, headache, internal fever, and en-
during pains too numerousto mention, she may
become peevish and fretful-snything but a
genial helpmate. In this deplorable condition
Of i'll health, should she act wisely and employ
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, it will in due

ties, restore her to health and transform her
from the peevish, %scolding, irritable-tempered
invalid to o happy, cheerful wife. Laying aside
levity and speaking seriously, husbands and

mentioned reliable and potent remedies. For

how could you ask such a question ?
You are my first, my only love. This

of letters, written in all kinds of feminine
hands, with lots of faded flowers and
photographs and locks of hair and bits

when the whole collection had been
crammed into the kitchen CRATE he drew
a deep sigh and saidto himself: "There

Russian Soldiers.

The Russian army in Europe does not
exceed $50, 900 men, and that in Asia
numbers $50, 600. The soldiers are
often stigmatized rs towards, dependent
on vodka for their nerve. But the same
was said of them in 1854. It is true that
among army stores forwarded to head
quarters the supply of spirits is aston
ishingly prominent. But the worse vice
is Justification. The much discussed i'll
ness of the Grand Duke Nicholas was no
Illness, but gunshot wounds. An at
tempt was made to assassinate him by a
soldier, and he received a bullet through
his arm and another grazed his side.

in Russia, " on this point is indisputa-

time, to the extent of the interrogation of

The inventors of Burnett's Cocoaine-know-
ing that when the loss of hair occurs, it IS gen.
orally from that part Of the head where the
greatest heat is necessarily generated, and that
apimal 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 hairs
The oleum cocos, or Cocoanut Oil, presented it
self most strongly, as possessing many proper
ties peculiarly adapted for the purpose but its
odor was Objectionable, and its density Except
when exposed to heat) seemed for q long m
to defy all efforts to render it available, for
popular use, in cooler climates. BY q scientific
selection of other ingredients, those which will
chemically combine with the oil have been dis
covered, and they together have produced q
compound, which is unqualiiedly pronounced
to be the best that has yet appeared.
In the form presented, this oil is permanent
w deodorized and held in a combination which
peculiarly adapts it for the toilet Burnett's
Cocoaine is unriraled in delicacy and agreea-
bleness-cooling in its nature-and possesses
such a penetrating affinity for the secretions of
the skin, that it is rapidly absorbed.
Its greatest efficacy is best secured by q per-
feet cleansing, before its application, of the hair
and scalp, under which circumstances this oil
allays irritation, remores all tendency to dand-
ruff and inrigorates the action of the capil-
laries in the highest degree. Its effect upon
the glossiness and richness of the hair il such
as cannot be surpassed and it is offered to the
public in the firm belief that it only requires to
be known to supersede all other preparations.
We are confident that 10 one who will make n
trial of its efficacy will be willing to return to
the use of any other preparation.

HipIl FOreheadS.

Tie notion that high foreleads, in
women as well as men, are indispensable
to beauty, came into vogue with phren-
ology, andis going out with the decline
of that ~pretentious and plausible sci
ence." Not long ago more than one
''ine lady" shaved her head to give it
an intellectual appearance, and the
custom Of combing the hair back from
the forehead probably originated in the
same mistaken ambition. When it is
considered that a great expanse Of fore
head gives a bold, masculine look-that
from irons Gorehead) comes the word
=" effrontery," it will not be wondered
that the ancient painters, sculptors and
poets, considered a low forehead ga
charming thing in woman" and, indeed,
indispensable to female beauty. Horace
praises Lycoris for her low forehead,
and Martial commends the same grace
as decidedly as he praises the arched
eyebrow.

A special dispatch to the London
Dolly Telegraph says: The Russian
forces, which had been largely augment
ed for the purpose, advanced with bat
teries of field artillery at five o'clock IN
the morning, and made a furious attack
upon the heights defending Batoum on
the land side, which were occupied by
Bashi- Bazcuks. The Ottoman troops
we're intrenched in a very effective man.
ner upon the slopes and Lodges of these
hills, and upon the advance Of the enemy
they opened on his columns a terrible
and well-sustained fire Of cannon and
m~usketry, which literally moved the
Russians down in swaths. They fell by
scores and hundreds on the plain below
the Turkish positions. During their at
tempts to make way against this fire, a
body of Turkish horse and foot, taking
advantage of o thick forest, broke forth
upon the flank of the Russian column,
and made great slaughter. The Musco-
vites being upon ground perfectly open,
and having no choice but to fight or fly,
in a short time the spot which was the
scene of this flank movement was covered
with dead and dying Russians. But the
enemy quickly brought up reinforce
ments, and the battle was renewed with
much determination. For many hours
the efforts of the ASSISTANTS were despe-
rately maintained, but toward midday
their artillery fire gradually slackened,
and they at length withdrew, after suffer
ing very considerable losses. I myself
was an eyewitness of this important en-
gagement from first to last, and can
testify that the Ottoman soldiers. behaved
with a gallantry which was most admir-
able. They had, however, during a
great part OF the action, the advantage
Of intrenchments Oh high ground, and it
is due to this fact, no doubt, that their
losses, compared to those inflicted upon
the enemy, were small. The victory
was won by the extraordinary courage
of the Bashi-B azouks. The dead and
wounded on the Russian side will exceed
1000. The engagement lasted over
eight hours of actual fighting. The last
of the Russians did not withdraw until
near midnight. The Russians lost many
guns. The only Turkish officer of note
killed is Khalim Bey, major of irregulars.
