SHAVING Tc RA1sE.A CROP OF HAIR-A
barber named Rancour writes to the Albany
Argus: In every community there are per-.
sons who pass for baldheaded ones, and in.
deed to all intents and purposes they are
such, and yet in fact are not, for if the spots
which so often seem to be bald are examined,
it will be found that there are just as many
hairs-such as they are-to the square inch,
as any other part Of the scalp; but from
their extreme iineness and the lighter color
they assume, they count for nothing. This
wasting process-caused by insufficient nour,
ishment-will, of course, result in badness ii
left to itself, but if properly attended to is
one of the most hopeful cases we have to deal
with.
To shave bald spot (Which, according to
Webster means a spot destitute Of hair)
would Of course be perfectly useless, so for
that matter would any treatment be. But
to shave spot such as is described above,
where the hairs, instead Of falling out and
being lost entirely, are becoming more and
attenuated, will coarsen and strengthen each
individual hair, and cause it, like the well.
pruned vine or tree, to take deeper root, and
as each hair increases in diameter it becomes
more and more capable Of receiving nourish..

known that persons who never use razor OH
their faces-for instance the Indian-nevel
have coarse or long boards, in fact scarcely
any beard at all. While the young man
who longs and sometimes sighs for mustache
or whiskers, seeks to hurry up the matter
by the frequent use of the razor. These
things, together with considerable experience,
convince us that great benefit may be de-
rived in many cases by the application Of
these surgical means. And then, too, only a
certain length of time for shaving is necessa-
ry in order to attain the end in view. For,
strange as it may seem, no amount of shaving
on such spot will coarsen the hairs beyond
the thickness of the surrounding healthy
hairs,

very heavy load for Hancock to carry, and has
made very spirited cartoon for this weeks

beaten out of his boots by Garfield in the Mo-
bile & Ohio foreclosure suits in 1877, declares
to his democratic friends that Garfield isn't
much Of lawyer"
A FRIEND of Judge Black is authority for
tho good story that on one occasion, when the

cal meeting at Cartersville, Ga, on the 22d

COLONEL W. NJ. LANG has Withdrawn from
the contest for the democratic nomination for

and Lieutenant Governor Savers to fghtit out

have been making it,
THE best reason in the world why our young
men should be republicans-as indeed most of
them are-is found in the democratic platform,
which Endorses all tho leading doctrines held
by republicans for the past twenty years, and

AN ex-soldier writes to the Philadelphia
Times to express his qualification that General
Hancock did not fight in the battle of Gettys-

Philadelphia, also was there, he begins to be-
lieyo that IL was not all dream that he WAS
there himself.
