Political ASseSsntents.

WASHINGTON, July 25-A cabinet meeting
attended by all the members except Secretary
Lincoln, was held today. The principal
topic of discussion was the opinion of the
attorney general on the subject of political
assessments. The opinion was accompanied
by letter from Secretary Folger, expressing
his views on the subject. 1t was generally
discussed. The president expressed his views
freely and fully. They were in substance that
no person in any of the executive departments
declining to contribute, shall on that account
be subject TO discharge or criticised, and no
attempt to injure him on this ground will be
conntenanced or tolerated.

The Hair Fair Of Morlans.

The August number of German
magazine contains an account, appar-
emily from an eyewitness, of one of the
most unique markets of Europe-thc
human hair market at Morlans. Nor
lans is small town in the old Land of
Bearn, now q portion of the modern de-
partment of the Lower Pyrenees. 1t is
unknown to the rest of the world, save,
perhaps, to Paris, where it has reputa-
ton rs the seat of the great market of
human hair. This market is held every
other Friday. Hundreds of trailicking
hair-dressers then throng To the little
place from tar and near in order to buy
the hair from the young peasant girls
fresh from the head. The dealers wan
der up and down the long. narrow. high
street of Morlans, each with huge pair
of bright shears hanging from II black
leather strap around his waist, while
the young girls who wish to part with
their hair stand about in their ,loorways,
usually in couples. The dealing is ear
ried on in the best room of the house.
The hair is let down, tie tresScS combed
out, and the dealer names his price.
This varies from to 20 francs. If a
bargain is struck, the dealer lays the
money in the open palm of the seller,
applies his shears, and in minute the
long trcsses fall on the floor. The pur-
chaser rolls up the tresscs, places them
in paper. and thrusts them into his
pocket. The writer says that it is very
rarely that maiden can contemplate
her fallen tresses disappear into the
dealers pocket without n gush of tears.
But she consoles herself by exclaiming:
swell. it will grow again." and by look
ing ut the'money in her hand.-London

new to most readers: elephants when

often seen them use foot for a pillow,
on which to rest their head. They are
very human-like in many ways. They
get q piece of wood and use it as a
toothpick. They will plug a wound
with clay. They scratch themselves
with the tip of their trunk, and if they
cannot reach the part, they take up a
small branch and use that. As O rule,
they are frightened at fire; but an ele-
plant of the battery at Assam used to
help put out fires, and she would do

At any rate the funeral orations were
being pronounced, and more lies were
being told than usual on such occasions.
Finally, Mullins turn came, and for
him it was great occasion, and great
use he made Of it, II you will believe

worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued

Against ordinary colds, which are tho
forerunners Of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.

Raining Trees.

At the Cape of Good Hope, near Table
Mountain, the clouds come down very
low now and then without dropping in
rain. At such time, if Il traveller
should go under Il tree for shelter from
the threatening storm, he would find
himself in drenching shower, while
out in the open, away from any tree or
shrub, everything would be as dry as a
bone! The cloud or mist is rather warm
er than the leaves, you see, and so,
when it touches them, it changes into
clinging drops, which look like dew.
Fresh drops keep forming; they run TO-
gether, and, at length, the water drips
off the leaves like rain. And this process
goes on until the clouds lift and the sun
comes out again.
