A NEW YEARS PARAGRAPH.
II, Hoe Signo Vi,,ces.

NEW YEARS PARAGRAPH.
"sPEAK good of the dead" is an old adage,
full of charity to those who have crossed the
River and whose voices cannot be heard IN tneir
own defence. The strict observance OF tnis
adage, however, would seal the lips and paraiyZe
the pen of the Historian, and the major part OF
the lives of many Of the ilustrious as we'll as tne
obscure who have "gone before" would never Do
written or spoken. 1879 is in the last throes OF
dissolution, and ere this meets the eye OF many
.of the "dear readers" Of the York Drug store
Paragraphs, it will have "shuffled of its mortal
coip' and lie in the cold embrace of the King OF
Terrors.
How shall we speak Of this departed Year,
In Justice, we would say with the lrisnman,
"small blame to it." 1t has been essentially
wear of booms and extremes, many articles OF
commerce having touched the highest and lowest
points in price, that they have done in the last
decade. In the main, it has been successful
year to all classes, and perhaps we could not
wish-keeping in the bounds Of moderation and
probabity-the friends and patrons who have
sustained and stood by us in all the years that
we have been Proprietor Of the York Drug Store,
better than many returns Of the prosperity OF
the past year.
In the homes of some of our friends sorrow
has brooded, and bereavement, like pail, shut
out the sunlight of Hope and Joy for season.
To all those we offer our heartfelt sympathy,
trusting that brighter skies may be in store for
them in the future.
Soliciting from our friends and the public gen.
orally, continuance of the pleasant business re-
lations and intercourse of the past, am very
respectfully, JNO. q. .kUYkENDAh"

Eocentricities in Hair.

These oddities of fashion are by no
means the least interesting features of
the worlds history. Take the hair for
instance. In Lydia men and women OF
fashion wear their splits in innnmerabIe
locks, with a golden ball or other orna-
ment at the end of each. Dyed hair,
like wigs, originated in Biblical times.
Purple, pink and scarlet have all been
popular c0l0rs. The Romans used to
smear their hair with unguents, and
powder it with gold dust to secure the
blonde tint they admired in the hirsute
adornment of their German foes. Dia-
mond, ruby and emerald dust were SINH
larly employed. The young ladies and
gentlemen Of Gaul washed their heads
in chalky fluid to render them more
fiery red than nature had made them.
The historic warrior Hannibal wore o
wig through all his campaigns. I

nod of approval, but, if not, he places it
onthe counter with q severe aud forbid
ding expression Of countenancc. Mon
key cashiers possess such reputation
for aeumen in the detection Of spurious
coin in. the countries where they are
employed in this capacity that no one
ever thinks Of appealing from their de-
cision, and they are regarded as experts
whose judgement is final.
Better than this, they are never dctec-
ted in attempts to default or rob their
employers, and are considered extremely
reliable in money matters. But they will
steal fine fruits when they get an oppor-
tunity, organizing raids in parties Of a
score Or more upon the fruit groves in
the neighborhood, and fairly running tho
industrious frniterer in q single night.
In order to defeat their raids proprietors
train monkeys to dless themselves in tho
skins of tiger cats and conceal themsel-
yes in the foliage of the trees.
Thus clothed in the panoply of the
deadliest and most dreaded enemy of his
tribe, the guardian of the coveted fruit
leaps down from his covert at tho mo-
ment the raiders have become fairly en-
gagged, and rushcs in among them with
reckless gallantry, without stopping to
look further than the spotted hide, the
members of the assailing party take up
the alarm cry and run away in q panic,
shrieking and trembling, while their
brother, in the skin of the tiger cat, fol-
lows close upon their heels. 1t is said
that they never revisit premises from
which they have once been driven in
this way, and that the proprietor for
ever more enjoys an immunity from
their depredations which cannot be- pro-
cured by shooting d half ad0zen Of them
in the act ofmidnight larceny.
The narrative opens field for the
discussion of the question, whether the
monkey may not be nsefrlly dOmosticat-
ed trained to act as "a waiter in n res
tauraut; cashier in banking honse, or
servant in Fifth avenue mansion. The
physique of the animals admits of all
sorts of fancy and fantastic costumes,
and who knows but his brain might de-
v9lop under culture and his race become
partaker in the civilization initiated by
man, but not necessarily limited to HUI
man kind I sf .
