THIS standard article is compound
ed with the greatest care:
Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to it's
youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by it's use
becomes white and clean.
By it's tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and MAX

found so efectual or desirable.

DEAR SIR: Since our last report, prices
have advanced three-quarters of a cent,
though there has been less business done
this week, and prices to-day declined on
all grades below good middling
Buyers have been uneasy at the situation,
and claim the advance has been rather
speedy for healthy position, and, as usual
with them, they predict a rapid decline
when the reaction comes. The present
prices are highly remuneratiye, and the
planters will do well even if there be no
further advance. No one at this time
dreams of prices again going below cost of
production, and with large crops of cotton,
our people will be in better condition than
for years past Notwithstanding the def
cheney in the corn crops.
We again advise shippers to not use the
inferior quality of fax bagging. The use
of it does not bring profit to the shipper but
does at times embarrass the factor.
Our market to-day was quoted "dull,
sales, 300 bales good ordinary, 119; low
middling, liz; middling, 11s good mid
ding, II. Yours truly,
CRAIG & Hogan.

Mother Nature is, in the main. a steady
going old dame, but now and then she aban-
dons her regular rules and methods, and turns
out some very queer pieces of handiwork.
Freaks of nature we say and the phrase is
not bad one, applied to those unfortun-
ate specimens of humanity who come into the
world with a superhous Uranium, or an extra
complement of legs. 1t is question whether
the spectacle of such monsters is not like
ly to have revolving effect the average
mind No one but a person animated by a
spirit of scientific curiosity, or by morbid and
unhealthy tendencies can find much pleasure
in gazing on objects like these whose mis-
fortune, one would think, had best be buried
from the world. But natures freaks tend
sometimes in nh opposite direction; now and
then she raises instead of lowering the ply
steal standard of the race 1t is not often
that this occurs, and when it does. most men
feel their interest aroused regarding such
types. For the information of our readers
we wish to lay before them a few facts regard
ing two individuals who may fairly claim To
be the largest man and woman on the face of
the globe and who are likely shortly to visit
us in connection with w. W. Coles New York
and New Orleans Circus, Museum, Hippo
drome, and Menagerie. The gigantic couple
rejoice in the names of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. V.
Bates. The gentleman stands eight feet, lack
ing y inch, in his stocking soles, and his wife
the same height. they were weighed togeth-
er the other day, it may be mentioned, and
turned the scales at a little over half ton
Both come of a hardy stock, Mr. Bates hail
ing from Kentucky, while the lady represents
the cold but not inhOspitable province of Nova
Scotia. Some years ago they made the tour Of
England, where they created a great sensa-
tion, appearing, by command, before Her Ma
jesty. The royal lady, we understand, ex-
pressed herself vastly pleased with the novel
spectacle. In fact her appreciation took
very solid form, and Mr.. Bates now treasures
in his possession n magnificent gold watch,
set with diamonds, also chain, the gift of
Queen Victoria. Mr.. Cole is certainly to be
congratulated on his good fortune in securing
this double attraction, itself show worth dou-
BILE the fee they charge for admission to the
whole of the entertainment. These ninetee nth
century giants are legitimate objects of curl
osity, and even those who are not in the habit
of patronizing such entertainments should for
once make an exception and 60 to see what
may be termed, without undue ezaggeration,
the eighth wonder of the world.

Appeal for the Protestant Orphan
Asylum, in Natchez.

JACKSON, Miss, November It'll. 1876.
To the Pastors Of Protestant Churches in Mis-
sissippi
The Protestant Orphan sylum at Natchez,
is now in the sixty fourth year of its exis-
tence- 1t has been sustained mainly through
the efforts of the ladies of that city, aud by
the contributions Of its generous people
During the last few years, the Masonic fra
ternity of the State has aided in the good
work. The undersigned has several times
visited the Asylum, and after thorough in
curry into it's past history and present man
agement does most heartily recommend it to
the favorable consideration Of our people.
Orphan children received there, regard
less oflocality or creed, and are cared for I'M
til suitable homes can be provided for them.
There are about fifty children there now.
The Asylum has no endowment or other
certain income and is entirely dependent
upon public charity. 1t is believed many
would cheerfully contribute to the support OF
his Asylum if informed OF its necessities.
Its treasury is nearly empty; and it is suggest
ed that the pastors of the several Protestant
Churches throughout the State give their
congregations an opportunity to make
Thanksg giving Offering that will relieve the
anxiety Of the Lady Managers, and insure
the support of the Asylum for the winter
months. Let a collection for this purpose be
taken up at the close of the Thanksgiving
discourse, and where, for any cause, Thanks
giving services not observed let a col
lection be taken up in the respective churches
on the Sabbath succeeding Thanksgiving
Day-November Both The amount may be
sent to the undersigned, who will make due
acknowled gment, OF can be sent direct to the
Treasurer Of the Asylum, Mrs. John Fleming,
