A NOVELTY IN HAIR,

I wish to inform Ladies that I have
new coifure of natural hair called tho Mul.
tiform, curl nearly two yards in length.
From the many shapes it is capable of lax
ing, all of which are simple and exceeding
ly graceful In fact it seems incapable of
taking on stiff and awkward appearance
The MULTIFORM COUTURE is &C.
compsnied by metal cylinder. which en-
ables ladies to dress it over readily and with
little expenditure of time; so that additional
expense is not required to keep it in order.
Ladies having combings or cut hair can
have the above made of it. l keep con-
stantly on hand large variety of switches,
curls, puffs, fries, Saratoga and Invisible
Fronts, which are at the very lowest prices.
Faded switches dyed and cleaned to look as

ONLY FRIENDLY INDIANS.

A correspondent at McDermit writes
that Old Winnemucca and his Piutes,
who were sent from that Post to scout
in the Stein Mountain country, have
returned. They report having seen
only friendly Indians west of White
Horse, in the country lately infested
with hostlles. Who are those friendly
Indians and what are they doing in a
locality where settlers were recently
murdered or driven from their homes,
and their property stolen or destroyed?
Is it probable that Chief Egan and his
immediate followers, who were repre-
scented by Jerry the interpreter as being
opposed to war at the council held at
Barren Valley recently, and because OF
that opposition held as prisoners by
the hosiiles, have escaped and are now
in Stein Mountain2 Winnemucca and
his scouts ought to be closely ques-
toned relative to those friendly
Indians F" which they saw at Stein
Mountain Ii they do not belong to
Egan's band they are certainly hostiles,
probably separated from the main force
ut the time Colonel Bernard fought
them near Warm Springs. No Indians
who were friendly to the whites all
through the present campaign will
venture into the Stein Mountain
country without passes from the mill
tary or the settlers. They understand
the situation and will not run the risk
of bsiug mistaken for hostiles. VIM
nemucca's report requires an explana-
lion, as the friendly Indians which he
saw at Stein Mountain may bs part
of the band which devastated that
country three weeks ago, who are now
trying to escape the consequences by
assuming friendship.

Connecticut's Charter.

The old charter which was granted to
the colony of Connecticut in 1862 by
Charles H.. and which has hung in the
secretary of states Office for many years
past, has recently been reframed and the
text renewed, and was on Saturday hung
on the south side of the secretary of
states Office in the new capitol. The
new frame, which is made of solid oak
from the charter oak tree, procured by
Secretary Morris from a gentleman who
was presented with it by Isaac w. Stuart,
is handsomely carved, the figures repre-
senting oak leaves and acorns. On the
top are crossed bars of oak bearing the
Connecticut coat-of-arms carved sntaglio,
with the motto in gilded letters. In the
old frame, which was in mahogany, the
charter was in sections, but now it is as
if single sheet. The color of the text
had become so faint as to make it almost
indecipherable in places, but Mr.. Horace
Heath, the engrosrer employed in the
office. has by means Of Indian ink
brought ont the color so that it can be
easily read. When Dean Stanley was
visiting the city recently, he pronounced
the likeness of Charles II. on the top of
the document as comparing exactly with
likenesses in England, which are said to
be correct. The glass is heavy French
plate, and the backing of the frame so
accurately put in as to make it air-tight,
thus making it perpetual. On the upper
left-hand corner the paper shows two
stains which it received while concealed
in the tree. In the charter Connecticut
has what no other state in the union can
boast of.-Harttoyd Evening Post.

The annual report of Gen. 4. 4. Hum

mainly to the two subjects Of Notifications
and river and harber Improvements. 1t is
shown that, during the fiscal year ending
June so, the sum of S2.1e4,4S was expended
for the Improvement of rivers and harbors,
and a balance OF 81, >,e7S: remaining from,
the previous appropriations, is available for
use during the present fiscal year. The act
of June Is, 1873: made provision for 2l5
works and for Surveys and examinations at
116 places, appropriating total of ss,2ol,-
700 in addition to the balance available
from previous appropriations. Upon the
approval OF projects submitted by the var:

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT.

Hon. David n. Key, postmaster general,
ia his annual report OF the operations Of his
department for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1878, estimates the total expense Of the
postal service at $50 .51l 800, the amount
appropriated for the current year being
$33, 256,373. The net revenue for the year
from the sale of postage stamps was $1G,-
S39,11G, against S15,SS1 1886 last year.
Amount of stame, stamped envelopes, etc,
sold $27 ,375,5e3, against S25, Isl, SIS in 1877.
EXPENDED during the year for mail Transport
ta,ion, S19,444, l79, against Sl9,356,023 the
previous year. From tables showing the
operation OF the money order Offices it ap.
pears that the revenue from this source for
the year was $2O9, 647, against SlOe,l4s the
previous year.
A considerable portion OF the report IS
devoted to the sub ject of the pyesen; and
prospective Deficiencies in the amounts aI-
propriated by congress for salaries Of post.
masters and for railway transportion. In
regard to the rostmasters salaries, he says
the deficiencies or prevention Of them, so,
far as salaries and compensation OF post
masters are concerned, are not and cannot
be controlled by the department. II the
amount appropriated by congress for the
purpose be not equal to the amount Of com.
pensation established BY law, there must be,
a deficiency.
Alter describing the r2teS o. cOmpeI: j.
ton prescribed BY law for railway mail
service, the postmaster general says the ap.
, preparation made bv congress at its last
session Was not sufficient to pay FOR the e1-
listing service on railroads, and, should no
additional appropriation be made for this
service, he shall feel it his duty under the
law so to curtail the service a. TO fall within
: the appropriation, however much he might
consider the public interest in ured thereby:
In regard to the revenues OF the postal
service, the postmaster general says:
Cline and again it has been shown that
matter of the second and third class does
not pay its way through the mails, and con-
! gress has been urged 10 increase the rates
thereon. The question has been considered
time and time again by appropriate com
mi1tees, and discussed il BON branches OF
! congress, and the results have shown that II
/ was not expected that the depar1me nt
should be sel!-sus1aining, but that the de-
I fciencies in its revenues should be met by
appropriations from the general treasury.
The amount OF mattcr sent through the
mails Tree is very large, adding greatly to
our expenditure and glyir= Us no revenue.'
Postmaster General Key protests against
the revival of the worst features OF the
! ranking privilege. The free list is such,
he says, that almost everything except let.
tiers can now be ranked which ever could
be, and it was precisely that kind OF luggage
which the abolition OF the frank aimed at

Lamart1ne's Unpu blished Play.


The late Bishop Dupanloup is said to
have been the possessor of an unpub-
lished tragedy in five acts by Lamartine:
When young, he happened once to be
stavine in the same house with the poet,
Who one evening read aloud this tragedy
to their hosts. These hosts were people
opposed to the rising Romantic move
ment, and the influence was SO apparent
in the work that they counseled Lamar
tine not to publish it. He left the manu-
script on the table that night, and next
morning, concluding to follow their adj
vice, destroyed it, saying that he had no
other copy. The young Dupanloup,
however, was SO impressed by the poem
that he had crept down stairs at night
and copied the whole Of it. Lamartlne
is said to have never known of the ex-
istence of this copy.
