FRENCH diplomacy is for the moment de-
voted to persuading the English that the re-
cent victory at Tel-el-Kebir does not justify
the British Cabinet in setting aside the Eu-
ropean covenant by which France was dele
gated on equal terms to maintain the joint
control of the Khedivate. The English
have been initiating Lord Dufferin's tactics
at Constantinoble in response, and for the
time being the Paris journals are devoting
columns of calculation in proof of the gsy-
ernment's justification in regarding the an
te-bellum situation as unchanged. Simulta-
neously the foreign minister is entertaining
delegates of her sable majesty, the Queen of
Madagascar, who has sent an embassy to
Paris to complain of the insolence of 3
French feet in depriying one of the royal
family of toothsome missionary just when
everything was prepared for broil The
French tar not only released the missionary,
but raised the flag of the Republic over the
Queens ports; and the question is now to be
settled whether Madagascar is to follow the
fate of Tunis. The general opinisn seems
to be that it will.

A CARD.

From ihe Speaker of House Of Representa-
tiUes.
Mr.. SCOTT: For the first time in my life
voluntarily and without solicitation give a
testimonial. recently purchased your
DR.. Scott's Electric Hair Brush. 1t is, in
deed, a remarkable article. My wife has
for years suffered with headache; the Brush
relieves her at once. Several persons have
used it for sick headache, and3it has never
failed. My wife was also threatened with
premature badness, but the Brush has en-
TREY stopped the falling of her hair and
produced a new growth. use it to remove
dandruff, and it works like charm. Five
times the cost would not buy my Brush If I
could not replace it. To-day bought two
more Brushes to send to persons who had
tried mine and requested me to buy for
them. Colonel Ponder, the Mayor, was at
tackled by severe case of sick headache at
my house; he was very sick; my wife pro-
posed for him to try the Brush, which he
finally consented to do, with no faith in it.
In three minutes he said he never felt bet
ter in his life.

Mr. Thornburgh is Speaker Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives; Grand High Priest Royal Arch Masons;

Contrary to general opinion, they are not Wire
but pure Brstle Brushes. They positi vely cure
Headache and Neuralgia in five minutes, and re-
store the hair in all cases where the glands aud
follicles are not destroyed. Wire Brushes injure
the scalp causing badness, and all who use such
believing them to be Electric Brushes are deceived
