as hair obtained from the tail of a
kind of Buffalo found in Asia, and
known in the trade as "Jack hair. !"
This is often used to mix with fine
qualities, in order to increase the
bulk, and for cheapness. No hair
except " pigtdil Z" is dyed to repre-
sent the blonde or drab shades.
Infectious diseases have been said
to have been disseminated by means
of the hair obtained from persons
inhabiting infected districts, but
merchants in the trade state that,
IN their opinion. it is next to impes-
sible that such results can occur,
considering the numerous pro-
cesses of cleansing and washing it
undergoes before it reaches a state
fit to be worn. Hair is never cut
after death, for it would then be
found utterly useless for the pur-
poses Of trade, losing its vitality and
consequent gloss, and no amoun5 of
dressing or manipulation can re-
store these qualities.

Deer SIR

In regard to the report that is
being circulated by a music firm in
your city that we do not make as
good Piano now IS we did before
the fire, we beg to say that they
have not seen any Of our Pianos that
we have made since our recent fire,
and know nothing about them.
Their Infamous statement is a
PURE FABRICATION of their
own for sinister motives. They
have always spoken in the very
highest terms of our instruments
when they were our agents, which
[ believe many Of the teachers and
others in your city can verify. It
would be the height of insanity in
US to anger or weaken, IN THE
LEAST POSSIBLE DEGREE,
the high standard Of excellence
that our Pianos have attained in
this and in other countries, and
that has taken us so many years of
steady and perseVering application
to establish. The fact IS that we
have added number Of Important
Improvements in our Pianos that
were contemplated before the de-
structiOn of our factory. and our
instruments are now UNSURPASSED
by those of any other maker. Ref
erence to our new catalogue will
show the latest improvements and
alterations. Your remark that the
advance of prices would no doubt be
found in the additional value of the
Pianos now being made" is strictly
correct, and the exact truth of
which You will fully appreciate
when you receive the lot ezderd and
now under way.
We are, dear sir.
Very truly yours,
HARD81AN, DowLINa s. PECK.
DAVID o. CALDER,
General Agent for
Hardman Pianos,

A CURIOUS GIANT.

A giant is puzzlIng the celebrities of the
medical profession in Paris. The man,
who is now 1913 years of age, had othing
at all the matter with him when at the
age of II he seemed to have finish
ed growing at the respectfully but no
extraordinary height of 6 feet 5 inches.
On the 18th of May, 1881, he measured
himself and found that he was a good inch
taller than he had been a few weeks before.
His curiosity being naturally aroused, he
continued, to take regular measurements
every week, and found that his growing
powers had actually made fresh start.
By the beginning of the following Septem-
Der he had gained about three inches
more. At the same time he experienced pc
culiar aching pains in his ZONES. but the
rate at which his stature increased seemed
to develop itself more and more rapidly,
so that in the beginning of the present year
he had gained four inches more, and stood
over seven feet without his boots. Another
quarter of year found him full
tive inches taller and without any signs of
nature having exhausted her energies.
Only in June last did the growth of his
body cease, and since that time his legs
have still been growing longer and thinner,
till he has now reached the height, or
rather the length-for he can no longer
stand upright-of seven feet ten inches.
His feet are described as each about twenty
inches long; but he has no use for them, as
his feebleness is too great for any exer
else whatever. He also shows symptoms |
of consumption, and the doctors do not |
suppose that he can live long. In. fact, it |
may be said of him with more emphasis |
than, perhaps, in any recorded case, that /
be has "outgrown himself" though why |
be should have done SO is a mystery which
Ill the doctors of the Sorbohne have not /
yet been able to explain.

st. Louis Republican: The immense
advantage over other routes possessed by
the Mississippi river as means by which
the products of this great valley can reach
the markets of Europe has never been
more clearly exhibited than during the
last twenty two months. From the latter
part of February, 1881, when navigation
to the south opened from this port, to the
present time. there have been only eight
days during which boats could not leave
st. Louis loaded; and, from present indi-
cations, it is safe to say that no further in
terruption to navigation is liable to occur
next winter. The route by the lakes and
canals, on the other hand, is closed for
fully three months each year. and during
that time shippers are entirely at the mer-
cy of the railroads.

A FESTIVE GOAT.

Before they had been aware of the goats
presence he had treated himself to the
beverage, taking it all at a draught. Its
effects weze not Immediately apparent, but
very soon the remarkable antics OF the
animal began to attract attention. He
bounded INTO the air as If to find out how
many times he could crack his toes to-
gether before touching the pavement, and
then he went through series of extraor-
binary gyrations that would have been
worth fortune for any show. The side.
walk became too narrow, and he butted
indiscriminately at the ash-baTTels and at
the legs of pedestrians, who FASTENED to
get out of his reach. The crowd that soon
collected was under the suppression that
tine goat had escaped from some Masonic
lodge room. After numerous abortive at
tempts to stand ON his head the goat
stretched himself at full length on the p we
ment. limiting his performances to- an oc-
casional roll and kicking nisfeet spasmodi
cally in the air. By this time policeman
had arrived, and while he was considering
in perplexed way how to dispose of /

club little old irish woman, evidently
the owner of the goat came rushing up in
great anxiety She belabored the animal
with a stick and upbraided it in the
severest terms on seeing its condition, to
which the goats only response was an
effort to rise and butt his mistress into the |
gutter. At last, with much difficulty and |
0y the persuasive use of the cudgel and the |
lid OF the police officer, the goat was safely |

There is probably no greater motor of hu-

evil effect of the social system, and is the
spur to murder and every crime that hate
or despair can devise. Though there are

there are none so powerful. so uncontrolla
BILE, so vindictive as the jealousy which
springs from suspicious love. The great
master of words and sentiments understood
the influence well and gave it vigorous ex-
preston in the words of Iago, ooh. what
damned minutes tells he DER who dotes,
yet doubts. suspects, yet strongly loves"
and it is in the experience of most men
and women that they can testify to the
truth Of the reflection. In the daily chr6n-
icles of crimes that appear in the newspa-
pers of the country the greater number are
attributable to that strange disease of the
mind and corrupter of the senses, jealousy.
1t invades the home circle, it destroys the
relation of close friends, il sits in the
church, and nourishes itself in the WAYS of
trade and commerce. 1t is all-pervsding,
and always pernicious. 1t is stronger than
faith more potent than truth. but, unlike
faith or truth, it needs no foundation and
no support. 1t comes without begetting
