Washing Your Head a Preventive.
From the Memphis Appeal

A distinguished physician who had
spent much time at Quarantine said that
a person whose head was thoroughly
washed every day rarely took contagious
diseases, but where the hair was allowed
to become dirty and matted it was hard
ly possible to escape infection. Many
persons find speedy relief for nervous
headache by washing the hair thoroughly
in weak soda water. | have known severe
cases almost wholly cured in ten minutes
by this simple remedy. A friend finds
the greatest relief in cases of "rare cold,"
the cold symptoms entirely leaving the
eye and nose after one thorough washing
of the hair. The head should be thor
oughly dried afterwards, and avoid
draughts of air for a little while.

The new waterfall recently discovered
in the vicinity of Franconia Notch, N
H., has been named, it is said, the Bridal
Veil, on account of its resemblance to
that essential part of a wedding. If the
fall be as picturesque as has been as
serted, it is pity that it should not
have had more original baptism.
There are Bridal Wells, Silver Cas-
cades, Diamond Sprays, Opaline and
Rainbow Falls, in all mountain
regions, which seem to be universally
afflicted with poverty of invention. The
same names recur so continually in all
notable localities as to become wearisome
by repetition. The devil has always
played very prominent part in noun
tain nomenclature. We have, both at
home and abroad, Devils Pools, Devils
Punch-bowls, DEVILS Dens, DEVILS Kitch
ems, Devils Slides, Devils Pulpits, with
out any reason or significance. Judging by
these names, it might be thought that
they embrace part of a popular demonol-
ogy, although the reverse is true. The
present age has very little belief in the
devil in any sense. Indeed, he has been
banished to great extent from theology,
and might with advantage be banished
from mountain scenery. The very
thought of the devil once had power to
excite awe, and the use of his
name in wild regions may have ex-
ercised certain weird effect. But that
was in another than the nineteenth cen
tury. As designation, the devil has
been too freely employed; we need some
more acceptable substitution. Hardly
anybody nowadays, unless it be the hus-
band of a modern Xantippe, believes in
the devil. Having been ignored on the
table-lands, he seems to have taken up
his nominal residence among mountains.

In the summer of 1866 a woman in
Troy obtained divorce from her hus.
band. In the fall of the same year,
yielding to his entreaties, and for the
sake of their child, she remarked him.
Not until last month did they learn that
their second marriage was void in law,
because the husband had no right to
marry anybody during her life. July 25,
in the presence of friends and lawyer,
they signed papers agreeing to live sep.
arate and apart, the husband promising
to pay the woman SIS per week for heI
support, and to keep the child during
its minority, and allowing the woman to
see her whenever and as often as she
pleased.

Now it was the postman, white mail

swinging vehemently as he went. Then
it was travellers on horseback, armed with
formidable spears with which to fright

the roads. Peasants were trudging to
market, a farmer was going over his land.
Figures in white came near the road to
watch us pass, and we knew it was fam

by path over the fields to pay visit to
neighbor's house; servant followed
them, and they stole shy looks at the for

and if it was the large millet, they cut
down only one stalk at time, and then
bound them laboriously in gigantic

which he passed in the docks of Havre

such embargo would be seriously felt. espec-
tally in the West and South West. The fol-
lowing paragraphs will give the latest phase
Of the question:
The report printed in New York that
''the British government have issued an or
der forbidding live cattle from the United
States to land at the ports of the kingdom
after the 18th Instant is incorrect. The
government issued no such order. On the
contrary, they have intimated that unless fu-
ture arrivals prove the existence of the dis
ease, they have no intention Of taking steps
towards interference with the cattle trade.
A special supplement to the Gazette has
been issued containing an order of the Privy
Council revoking, after March 8, 1879, arti-
Gle Is Of the foreign animal order so far as
it relates to the United States. Under arti-

landed without slaughter or quarantine. The

Presidential Movements.

The Washington spondent OF the New
York Times gives the following Presiden-
tial on dts /:
Senator Davis, OF West Virginia, who has
pronounced himself in favor OF Senator
Thurman for the Democratic nomination for
President in 1880, is confident that Mr.. Til
den is vigorously working up his chances for
the nomination. In an interview with Bris-
bin Walker, editor of the Sunday Republic,
Senator Davis said if Tilden succeeds, the
Western idea must be excluded from the
Democratic platform. He thinks Bayard is
probably the strongest man the Democrats
could present, but that he lives too near MIR.
Tilden, and that 1iden necessarily weak
ems Bayards chances. both representing the
hard money idea. The fight in the conven-
ton will be between the lizards" and the
''sefts,'' and it looks as if the ''hards" would
! be induced to cast their united influence for
Mr.. Tllden; at all events, he. will leave no
stone unturned to accomplish that end
Senator Davis does not believe either Bayard
or Thurman are making personal efforts to
secure the nomination. Neither Bayard
nor Thurman said MIR. Davis, ''would con-
descend to tricks. With Mr., Tilden it is
different. He will sit up all night figuring
to get this man or that, this influence or tlfe
other, and wilgo into any calculations with
his friends as to the best way of accomplish
ing his purpose. When he has determined
how to do thing, he goes and does 1t, no
matter what it costs. Neither Bayard nor
Thurman would listen to any such talk. L
think Thurman will be nominated. but I'LL
den is rich, and an untiring worker. tic IS
never idle, and there is no telling what his
combinations may effect.'

The Plague.

The plague now devastating some dis
trlcts of Russia is essentially the same dis.
ease which is so horribly conspicuous in the
history of the middle ages, but which since
1920, when it destroyed nearly half the pop
uiation of Marseilles, and 1910, when it Wis.,
tied Russia and Poland, has been almost I'M
known in Europe, The district now infect
ed is along the lower portions of the Volga,
in the southeastern portion OF Russia in
Europe. The town OF Zaritzin on the 5or-
der of the plague area is in direct railway
communication with Moscow,St. Petersburg
and Rigi, and, in fact, the principal cities OF
Russia. The symptoms are as follows =
Violent pain in the temples and in all the
limbs high fever, with burning sensation

Democratic Tactics.

The Washington correspondent OF She Bal
timore american, of the l1th, has the fol-
lowing paragraph Indicating the desperate
resorts of the Democratic wing OF Congress.
As to the jurors test oath, no one cares any
thing about it, and very few would object To
its repeal. The Election Supervisors is a
different thing. In Cincinnati. two years
ago, it was through this law Democratic
frauds were detected and the perpetrators
sent to the penitentiary and within the
past few weeks similar disposition has been
made Of Democratic ballot-box suffers and
bull-tlozers in Baltimore. No law can be
too inquistive and searching that has for It's
object the purity of the ballot and the fact
pend the operation Of government BY with
holding the necessary appropriation for its
use unless the Supervisors law is repealed,
argues very badly for their political integri-
be noted by the people as will be the ca
lamity OF an extra session, should such tao
tics force the calling of one. The following
is the paragraph from the american
In a joint caucus OF the Democrats to-
night it was agreed to attach to the Legisla-
tive bill a section repeating all laws giving
the general government the right to super
wise elections for president and vice presi-
dent and for members of Congress, and also
repeating the sections in regard to test oaths
to jurors in United States courts. The un-
Outstanding was that the Democrats in each
house would stand by these amendments,
and either force them through or let the
Legislative bill fail. The reason for the
Democrats attempting to effect repeal of
all these acts at the present Congress is that
if this is not accomp lished now it can't well
be brought about before the presidential
campaign OF 1880. Since, if it passed at a
regular session next December, the Pres-
dent would veto it, and as the Democrats
are without q two-thirds majority, they could
not pass the bill over veto. The Detno-
Gratis pretend to believe that the Republicans
will allow these amendments TO pass rather
than to have called session, and SO lose
control of the Senate side of the Capitol i'm
mediately. There is a general feeling among
Republicans, however, that it will be an ex-
cellent plan to have the Democrats begin
work with full control and responsibility as
soon as possible, so that the country can be-
gin to judge them a long time before the
next presidential contest.

The State Debt.

A meeting Of the Joint Committee OH
Finance of the Legislature and representa-
tiyes Of the American and Foreign Bond
holders was to have been held yesterday
1t is stated that the proposition of the
bondholders has been modified, SO as TO
provide for per cent. bond for 10 years.
4 per cent, bond for 20 years, and a five per
cent. bond for 10 years making 40 years
bond. Private advices assure us that the
proposition, thus modified, will certainly
pass the Legislature. We earnestly hope
so, for public sentiment is almost unanimous
in favor OF it. A settlement on this basis
will be great consummation for Virginia.
Since the above was in type, special re-
ceived last night informs us that the cred
itors have amended their proposition so as
to take three per cent. for ten years, and
that the Finance committees of both houses
have determined to report the bill to theii
respective bodies this morning.
