eliminating from the blood those acrid impurities
which originate rheumatic ailments.

Aud second: if good citizens who
know Of violations Of the law keep
the facts concealed (as your cores
pondent NJ. Y. Y has attempted to
conceal his namc) then it will continue
to be difficult to bring about proper
enforcement Of the law on any criml'
nal subject. When drunkenness is
exhibited 10 public it then becomes
the duty Of officials to arrest ana +"
possible convict. But are men because
they are officers, presumed to know Of
every violation OF every criminal stat
ute? Is il the duty Of citizens be-
cause they are not acting in an oihcml
capacity, to keep within their own
bosom, facts, which if disclosed to the
proper authorities, would lead to the
speedy and effectual punishment OF
criminals? Or is it preferable to con-
ceal, and then growl becaus. every
body else don't know what they DO !!
1t has been properly said that the peo'
pie have just the kind Of q government
they deserve. Nothing was ever truer.
Who are the people? The juries OF
the country. If all the facts OF which
cause is susceptible are properly pre-
seuted and appropriately applied to
the law of tho cuse, with whom then
does the responsibility of the case rest!
1t then goes to the people (the jury
to determine what the result shall be-
Who then is responsible? 1.-The ma
iesty and dignity Of the law" can be
upheld, sustained and respected, or
trampled under foot and disrespected,
Just as the people of any community
may determine.
There are parts Of the prohibition"
law enforoible. and with the facts and
q good jury, there is no doubt butthat
convictions can be had, But if NJ.
Y. y expects me to take jurors BY the
nose and t,cist verdicts Of conviction
out of them, 1 am not the man for the
place, and if he will assure me that he
will do that, 1 will give him my po-
sition without murmur, and at his
funeral, which would shortly take
place, nothing shall be left undoue to
make the occasion one of mournful
solemnity, and one long to be remem-
bered by good men and children every.

AMOUNTING THE HEAD.
An Old Custom to be Revived

The amounting of the head and beard
with perfumed oils was for centuries mark
of hospitality among the Greeks and Ro-
mans, and in some instances the most ex-
pensive oils were used for that purpose.
Guests and travellers had their hair
anointed with olive oil, spikenard, myrrh or
other preparations, and no doubt an agree
able perfume pervaded the apartments
when the hair-dressing operation was COM
pleted. To this day it is common in the
East for travellers to have their heads and
boards anointed with olive oil, and this
custom will undoubtedly be revived in the
West, even in the Far West, when the
virtues of Carboline are fully known and
appreciated. 1t not only has desirable
qualities as hair dressing, but in its re-
markable virtues as hair restorer it far ex-
ceeds the spikenard or the myrrh of the an
clients. 1t is nowhere recorded that the
baldheaded Greeks and Romans had their
shining pates covered with a luxuriant
growth of hair by the use of the oils com
mon among them, but it is demonstrated
that Carboline does work such wonders, and
in reviying the ancient custom of anoint-
ing the heads of those who visit us, or re-
main for time as guests, we will not only
show our hospitality by copious dressings of
Carboline but in the case of those who be-
come bald and gray we can confer everlast-
ing obligations by putting head" on
them of which they need never be ashamed.
Carboline is sold by all druggists.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE CoLoR-A cor
respondent, says Once Week, tells us that
he has met with strange instance of con-
juration in the cooking Of salmon. He says
he bought the half of large salmon, the
flesh of which was of a deep pink, and as
tempting in appearance as he ever saw fish
of the same kind, and yet when it came to
table it was, not only on the cut surface, but
throughout, as white as sole. This is not
at all an unusual circumstance, and is by
some ascribed to the water in which the fish
is boiled having an undue quantity of lime
or bleaching property in it. When, how
ever, the same correspondent asks us, What
becomes of the color, and why the water is
not tinted herewith, as is the case when
vegetables of green color are boiled? the
question trenches so greatly upon the fairy
realms of chemistry, in which the mixture
of two darkly-colored liquids may produce
perfect white, or that in which the ad-
mixture of deep-colored brandy with GER
tain spring, waters change to an opal, that
we must refer him to the learned savants OF
the laboratory for the solution of his query.

MYTHOLOGY.
SatyrS.

The Satyrs were part of the retinue OF
King Bacchus. They were supposed to be
bald, with short sprouting horns, like those
of kids, and goat-footed, They were of a
lively, frolicsome disposition, but not very
wise, else they would have cured their bald
ness by using Carboline, the perfection OF
the chemists art prepared from natural
crude petroleum, thoroughly deodorized
and nicely perfumcd. Every man, woman
and child should use it as dressing. 1t
gives that peculiarly soft and silky texture
so desirable. 1t will not soil the finest of
linen, is cooling and cleanly, and can not
be praised too highly. Sold by all dealers
in drugs and medicines
