BALLADE: OF CHESTNUTS IN
THE FIRE.
BY ATLANTA.

My little sweetheart, not seven summers Old
Gold-locks, and gray eyes large and unafrald-
Now all the tale of summer days is fold,
Remember low IN time of June we played
Where SIN and shadow of branches seemed to braid,
And bluebirds sang above, bright glad quire-
OF that fair place thought rs now laid
C,hestuuts in crimson embers of the fire!
II.
In early autumn when a road of gold
Bloomed for the sceptre OF my little maid,
In pink soft fingers would she lightly hold
1t over my bent head and while it swayed
" kuueen." proclaimed my lady, must be obeyed
PRAY pick some nuts and break off every brier,
Well play red leaves arc Goals. and lay (she said
Cbestnuts in crimson embers Of tho fire.
And now to-day, while winters wind a-cold
Cries all about the house as If afraid,
Come where the woodfre blazes now unfold
The soft white scarf, unwrap the pretty plaid;
Smooth the blond curls the wild rough wind has
frayed-
Puss on the hearthrug sits demure and staid
Washing with dainty tongue her sleek attire
When the nuts snap, will puss not be dismayed"
Chestnuts in crimson embers of the fire
Ny lady, whittier now hath fancy strayed?
You care but little for my ballad made
or ehestnuts. That seek, is your desire
Thus the poor cat i'the adage once essayed)
Chestnuts in crimson embers of the fire? %

HUM0RS OF THE SCALP.
LOSS OF HAIR.

Loss OF Hair in thousands of cases is due entirely
to some form of scalp disease. Seventy-fve per
cent. of the number of bald heads might be covered
with hair by judcious use of CUT1CURA, assisted
by CUTIcURA SOAP. 1t is the most agreeable as
well as the most effective hair restCrer pro-
duced by man. 1t is medicinal in the truest sense
of the word. All others are some oleagenous mix
ture or poisonous dyes. None but CUTICURA pos
sesses the specific medical properties that enable it
to cure all itching and scaly diseases that inflame
and irritate the scalp and hsr glands and tubes,
causing premature badness. Medium doses of the
CUTIcURA REsoLvENT will purify the oil and sweat
glands of the virus of scrofulous humor of the blood
and insure permanent cure, when taken in con-
nection with the outward application of CUTICURA.

The City Census.

Pursuant to resolution passed at al ad-

day night, appointing committee compos-
ed of the Mayor and Aldermen Whitla,
Keller, Bohny and Wheelock, to confer with
the enumerators of the city for the purpose
of assisting them in getting correct census
of the city, the committee met at the Coun-
Gil hamber yesterday morning for that pur-
pose. The enumerators failing to put in an
appearance the committee drafted the fol-
lowing
COUNCIL CHAMBER, June 81, 1880.
We, the undersigned members Of the city
council, in pursuance of resolution OF said
body, met at the city hall at 10 a. m. to con-
fer with the special deputy census enumera-
tors, Messers.. Baskerville, Wright, Harris
Leigh; they not being. present, we feel I'M
authorized to proceed in the premises, but
earnestly hope, in view of the great lmpor-
lance Of having a full and correct census
taken, that these gentlemen, who are them
selves citizens of Dallas, will meet at the city
hall on the OPP at 10 Il. m, with the COM
mittee appointed by the city council to confer
with said census takers, and to render all as
sistance in the powerof the city authorities
1t will be readily seen by the following quo
tation from the instructions of the depart
m ent of the interior, that it is the duty OF the
authorities to reEder all the aid in their
power, by way of assistance, to the census
takers, and it is for this purpose alone that
the city has thus rendered her assistance
The quotation reads as follows, viz:
''In order to reach such persons wiz:
persons occupying lofts, public buildings,
above stores, warehouses, factories and sta
bles, in cabins, huts, tents, river boats, canal
boats, barges, etc. and persons in police
stations, etc. The enumerator will need
not only to keep his eyes open to all such
indications of such casual residence in his
enumeratve district, but to make inquiry
both of the parties occupying the business
portion of such buildings aud also OF the
police A letter will be addressed from this
Office 10 the mayor of every large city OF
the United States requesting the co-opers'
ton of the police, so far as it may be nee
essary to prevent the omission OF the
classes of persons herein Indicated
These gentlemen should not feel that the city
authorities are presumptous in an attempt to
extend them the assistance contemplated by
the law under which they hold their appoint
ment. Respectfully submitted,
j. NJ. TnURMoND,
Mayor.
