A Shocking AFFAIR.

Harper's Bazaar, which is very far from
being q sensational paper, unfolds this
touching story: "a beautiful young wo
man Of our acquaintance some years
ago had an experience by means of this
poisonous custom that will hardly be
shared in the generation to come. ,Ac.
customed to admiration of her beauty
her dislike OF few gray hairs drove her
to the use OF a dye, and as she con,inued
it from day to-day with gentle applica.
tions for some years, she had the salts
faction Of seeing her beauty to all effect
uuimpaired, and had not the remotest
idea that the work of silvering was all
the time going on with frightful celerity
under the dye, aad that every day in
creased the ravages in her dark locks, il
the truth were known. But frequent and
violent headaches at last made her ply
siciaD and husband positively command
her to cease the dying, aud to cleanse
her hair thoroughly of the dyes. She
went with her detergents into the rather
dark bathing room. where there was no
mirror, as it CHANGED, and spent an hour
or two in the process of washing and
securing, and at length came out into the
light, pausing beforea mirror as she did
so. The first glimpse OF herself was a
horrible revelation; she had gone into
the room a dark-hairea beauty in the.
guise of youth; the woman in the mir
ror had the long gray hair of age falling
around her white face. The sudden
change was too much for tried nerves,
and she fell in dead faint on the a)or.
1t is fortunate for others that the fashion
OF gray hair is likely to save them the
blow of so sudden change from the
appearance OF youth to that of age"

Turkish Cavalrymen.

In a private letter to Gen. Carnahan!

American Minister at Constantinople;,
describe wonderful exhibition of horse
manship which he recently witnessed.
Gen. Wallace writes: II was invited d
few days ago by the Sultan to go with
him and witness drill of his household
troops. The old Eleventh could beat
his infantry, but the performance Of hia
Circassian cavalry was something extra
ordinarya Aaa sample: Four coInpa;
nies magniicently mounted were id line.
A hugle call, and the right company
dashed through to the front full speed.
Another call, there vas a beautiful feat.
Each man reached out with his right
hand, caught the rein close 10 the bit,
pulled hard, and threw his horse Cat on
his left side, dismodnting as il went
down. Then, on the ground, behind
the horse, he began firing as skirinish-
er. A third call, the company rose up
with their horses and retreated at full
speed, reforming as they went. As I
had never even heard of such q thing;
you can imagine my astonishment,"

It is not matter for surprise that
in Alexaudria should
take refuge in their. cellars when they
heard or saw the huge missiles OF the
Infexible hartling through the air. That
vessel carried four eighty-ton guns, each
of which monsters is about twenty-sev

Johnston was to learn again that q
great army could make football of a
smaller one where it had ground to de-
ploy. Grant would probably have low
cred his head and rushed bull-lke at the
Confederate position, and thereby would
have lost seven or eight thousand men
in winning victory. Sherman felt the
position long enough to realize its
strength, and then the great Federal oc-
topus began reaching out its arms on
either side. Before dark the lines of
blue were on either flank and commanded
portions of the Confederate rear.

A spirit of gratitude prompts
me to address brief note
OF thanks. Three months ago / re-
turned from Mobile, Alabama, and was i'm.
mediately attacked with what is known as
Sciatic rheumatism. | employed three
physicians in succession, giving each one
ample time TO afford relief il it had been in
his power. wa, not materially benefited
by their services and was beginning to
despair, when friend who had experience
ed the effects OF st. Jacobs Oil advised me
to give it trial. ! refused, because | did
not think rheumatism could be cured by
outward application. Insisting upon a
trial of it he sent me two bottles. Unable
to meet his kindness by further refusal. had
the remedy applied to the parts affected.
My case was so severe that after few ap.
plications scarcely seemed to be benefited.
But before the first bottle had been used
up, | began to be relieved of the painful
lameness IN my hip and knee, and when
the second bottle was out could dress my.
self and walk about. ! continued to use Il,
and am now able to 60 down to my office
and attend to business. Should persons
afflicted as ! was desire stronger testimo.
NAL, shall tell them if they call upon me,
TO give st. Jacobs Oil fair trial; and now
feel as though | could assure them the
same grateful and speedy relief that have
experienced. WESLEY SIssog,
