COED! COED! GOLD!

Americans, like Oriogral, Of Basra, de-
sire that the golden stream should be sud
den and violent, or, in other words, that
riches would flow in upon them in It sud
den and violent stream. The ladies are
also like Ortogral. They want their hair
to flow like golden Stream of beauty from
crown to feet. Carboline will do it. 1t
makes the hair soft and silky, and causes
it to grow long and luxuriantly. 1t is an
extract from petroleum and thoroughly de-
odorized by secret process, without the
aid of acids or alkalies 1t has taken years
of hard work to accomplish this great re-
suit; but, thanks to the chemists art, it has
AT last been so completely deodorized that
it can be used as daintily as the famous
''eau de cologne of Farina fame. The
color has at tho sa nc t me- been obliterated,
and there can no, bc possibly any objections
to its use. II is cleanly and cooling in its
application, and so thoroughly penetrating
in it's nature, that the seat of disease is
reached at once; and further. it will GER

AN AFFECTING ANECDGTE.

On one of the many bridges IN Ghent
stand two large brazen images of father
and son, who obtained this distinguished
mark of the admiration of their fellow
citizens by the following incidents: i
Both the father and the son were, for
some offence against the State, condemned
to die Some favorable circumstances ap-
pearing on the side of the son, he was
granted remission of his sentence, under
certain provisions; in short he was offered
pardon, on most cruel and barbarous
conditiOn--namely, that he would become
the executioner OF his father! He at first
resolutely refused to preserve his life by
means so fatal and detestable. This is not
| to be wondered at; for let us hope, for the
honor of our nature. that there are very
few sons who would not have spurned with
abhorrence life sustained on condition so
horrid and unnatural. The son, though
. long infexible, was at length overcome by
the tears and entreaties of fond father,
who represents to him that, at all events,
his (the father's) life was forfeited, and
that it would be the greatest possible con
ISOLATION for him in his last moments that
in his death he was an instrument of his
sons preservation. The youth consented
to adopt the horrible means of recovering
his life and liberty, he lifted the axe-but,
as it was about to fail, his arm sunk nerve
less, and the axe dropped from his hand
Had he as many lives as hairs, he could
have yielded them all, one after another
rather than again conceive, much less
perpetuate, such an act. Life. liberty,
everything vanished before the dearer in
terests of filial affection; he fell upon his
fathers neck, and embracing him, triumph
antly exclaimed:
"My father! we die together !" and
then called for another executioner to full
fill the sentence of the law.
Hard must their hearts indeed be-be-
reft ofeyery sentiment of virtue, every SEN
sation of humanity-who could stand in
sensible spectators of such a scene. A sud
den peal of involuntary applause, mixed
with means and sighs, rent the air. The
execution was suspended and, on simple
report of the transaction to the authori-
ties, both were pardoneo. High rewards
and honors were conferred on the son; and
finally these two admirable brazen images
were raised to commemorate a transaction
50 honorable to human nature, and trans
init it to the instruction and emulation of
posterity. The statue represents the son
in the very act of letting fall the axe.

the prices he kept up so as to exclude the
poorer classes. lie sooner this. shallow-
pated element is set back to
its place, the better it will ee for
all concerned in the musical progress and
general interest of this city. If things
go as these people would have them Gin
cinnati has had its last great festival, and
the Music Hall will lose interest to the peo-
pie of this city after they have satisfied
their curiosity by single look at it. 1t
is well enough to dance attendance on
Mr.. Theodore Thomas and the great
artists who rendered fine music for fine
pay, and hob-nob with the men who
contributed to the hall and organ funds,
but these will not make up for the kind
of treatment the chorus received or the
kind of treatment that is now talked Of
for the people of Cincinnati. Gentlemen
of the Festival Association, ard Trustees
of Music Hall, sweep these little folks
out of the way and put your affairs in
the hands of men of good business sense,
who do not feel that their title to aplace
in good society rests upon such slender
foundation that they must continually
advertise their own Importance.

Address Of the Republican State
Central Committee.
To the Friends Of Honest Honey a
Wisconsin

To the Friends Of Honest Honey an
Wisconsin,
As the canvass nears its close, we
think it proper to address few words
to the voters of the state who approve
! Of the position assumed by the Repub-
lican party upon the principal question
now before the people.
We address them not to Republicans
alone, but to every citizen WHO is in
favor of safe aud stable monetary
system, a SYSTEM that will impart stead
iness 20 values an therefore confidence
to enterprise, system founded upon
experience and sanctioned By laws
which no fat of congress can perma
nently modify or annul.
This question of the currency is not
properly Republican or a Democratic
question. 1t ought not to be party
question In the nineteenth century
and in land Of free schools, it is hu
initiating to find that it is necessary Sc
rlously to argue that promises 20 pay
are not money, that the prosperity of
a people is not in proportion to the
number of irredeemable notes which
its government keeps in forced circula-
ton. that debt is not wealth, that gov
