THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
BY its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
AS dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

Only few words passed between them,
and after the interview Was over, War
ner fastened to Mark Twain's house.
Money or a suit was Col. Eschol Sellers
ultImatum.
There was o meeting of lawyers, and
Col. Eschol Sellers left Hartford g, 900
richer, and with the promise that all
subsequent editions should appear with
the pame changed to Col. Beriah Sellers.
This explains why in q few copies OF
"The Gilded Age" the name appears IS
Col. Eschol and in all others a. Col. Be.
riah. In this respect Mark Twain's
prophecy, that Col. Eschol Sellers
would be serious reality, was fulfilled.
John T. Raymond did not like Beriah
and substituted Mulberry when he dra-
matized the story.
Also, John had story of bis own to
tell abont the bargain with Mark tor the
right to dramstize the story. When he
buys another play, John says that he
must put the pound Of flesh in the bond,
and then he won't DO ruined when pay

A New Pest to the Corn.

The Hartford Times of Aug. 80 says ::
1.-THE Meriden correspondent of the
Times sends rs samples Of ears of corn
taken from field IN that vicinity, which
have been ruined BY devouring pest,
and with them samples of the bug which
does the mischief. 1t is . go0d-sized
six-legged, evil-looking bug, rather
larger and much flatter than the potato.
bug: in color brown, having . wldc
body and very small head, the latter
provided with pair of small antenna,
or fcelers.' The creature begins his
ravages at the tip-end Of the ear of corn,
and devours the kernels as he works on
ward toward the butt-leaving in his
track only dirty mess of brown husks
of the separate kernels, after having de-
voured the substance. Our correspond
emit in Burlington, . locality perhaps
twelve or fifteen miles northwest Of
Meriden, sends Us an account Of the
alarming ravages OF pest there. which
may DO this same creature. Our Bur
lington correspondent says fields Of corn
are ruined almost in . single day, and
further, the acres of grass land will sud
denly turn brown and dead, and tho turf
itself can be raked off-the roots having
all been cut BY the ravages Of something
which the Burlington farmers believe to
be the same bug that ruins tho corn"

and warning that this loyal manifestation
might aggravate the suficrings from his
wounds. The spot where the Emperor was
shot is almost five minutes walk from the
scene Of Hoedel's attempt.
Dr.. MODELLING
