IL has accomplished complete restoration Of
color to the hair, and vigorous health to the
scalp, are innumcrable.
Old people like it for its wonderful power to
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty. Middle-aged people like II
because 1t prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandruff away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like 1t

tiful glossy lustrc, and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus 1t is the
favoritc of all, and it has become so simply
because IT dIsappoints no one.

A "Retainer" Explained.

The following anecdote is related of
Daniel Webster: When Webster was
at the zenith of his career, one day a
gentleman waited upon him to engage
him for the defense in an important
case at law-the amount at stake in the
suit being $4,000. Having stated the
case from his point of view, Mr.. Web
ster said he was willing to take it; but
the client could not tell exactly when
the case would come on. every we'll, {"
said Webster, "if you retain me for the
defense, 1 will hold myself in readiness,
and will not engage for the plaintiff"
The gentleman asked what the retain
ing fee would be. "a thousand dol
lars" "a thousand dollars!" ex-
claimed the gentleman. "Yes. Only
think, for moment, what I engage to
do, sir. I do not only hold myself at
your service in the matter, perhaps for
a month or more, but debar myself
from accepting any offer, no matter
how large, from the plaintiff" The
applicant was satisfied with this ex-
PLANTATION, wrote out a check for the
amount, and gave it to the great ex-
FOUNDER, who, after he had put it into
his pocket, said: ct will now give you
bit of advice, gratis. If you can
compromise this business upon fair
terms with the plaintiff you had better
do So" The client acknowledged his
thanks and took his leave. In a few
days after the gentleman called upon
Mr.. Webster again and told him that
compromise had been effected, and the
matter was satisfactorily settled. Mr..
Webster duly congratulated his visitor
on the result, and would have turned
to other business, but the visitor seemed
to have something further on his mind.
"Of course" he ventured, after
pause, II shall not require your serv-
ices, Mr.. Webster" "Certainly not,
sir." "And-and how about the 1000
I paid you?" family asked the gentle
man, who was not quite reconciled to
paying so large sum for services
which were never to be rendered.
ooh, ah!" responded Daniel, with
bland smile; you don't seem to under
stand. It is very simple That was
retaining fee called in law retainer.
By virtue of the contract also became
q retainer. What should I retain, if
not my fee?"
The gentleman went away, it is said,
thoroughly instructed, if not quite sat
isfed, with this practical illustration of
retainer"

DYNAMITE STORIES.
A Can of the Explosive Used as a Foot
stOo1-Its Proposed Use at Petersburg.

A Can of the Explosive Used as a Foot
stool-Its Proposed Use at Petersburg.
In 1866 prisoner who was con-
demned to hard labor in German mine
"a fate that befalls many evildoers in the
Rhineland) managed to effect his
escape. He had held position of some
little confidence in the mine, and when
he decamped he succeeded in taking
with him small tin can, containing
about three pounds of nitro-glycerine
Profoundly ignorant of the nature and
fell destructiveness of the explosive,
and believing from the care with which
he had always seen it served out in
the mines that it was of considerable
value, he clung to his treasure with
tenacity, and eventually embarked for
the United States, carrying the can
with him, and using it on his long sea
voyage as a pillow. Arrived in New
York, he sought accommodations in
There, pending his search for pur-
chaser, he put the can in the public
bar-room, where it was used by the
boarders as a foot-rest when they
blacked their boots. This went on for
fully two weeks, and probably the little
can was knocked about all that time by
careless marines, who little knew the
danger they were incurring. One day
there was fight in the bar-room, and
the can was kicked by stalwart Ger
man in his efforts to reach one of his
opponents. That fight ended instantly.
Simultaneously with the kick there was
general scattering of all the inmates
of the room, and a crashing of falling
bricks and splintering timbers, and a
report like seventy-four's broadside.
A horse that was passing in the street
was struck by some of the bricks hurled
from the building and pieces of an iron
pillar that had been shattered, and in
stantly killed; but, strangely enough,
the men in the bar-room escaped with
slight bruises, the kicker, even, being
only stunned by the shock.
In 1866 there was destructive ex-
plosion on board the West India mail
packet European, which was then lying
at her dock in Aspinwall, on the Atlantic
side of the Isthmus of Panama. Forty
seven persons lost their lives by this

ulsasCer, and its origin was pro1ounu
mystery for some time. Subsequently
it was discovered that part of the
freight of the vessel was nitro -glycerine
disguised under the apparently inno-
cent name Of "glonvene" or "glonoin
o1"-which was on its way to the gold
mining region of the North American
Pacific mining States. The vessel was
destroyed, and the loss was 81, 900, 900.
Just after this Pacific mail steamship
was blown up by nitro-glycerine in the
harbor of San Francisco, and eight per-
sons were killed.
During the siege of Petersburg, Va,
by Gen. Grant, not long before the
brows of that hero were adorned with
the laurels of Appomattox, the chances
OF the capture of the city looked ex-
remely gloomy. At that time Col
Taliaferro P. Schafner, who had served
In many European countries as engi-
neer, and was in some way connected
with the manufacture of nitro-glyce-
rine, suggested to Gen. Grant the ex-
pediency of blowing up the beleaguered
city with the explosive. His PROPOSE

General and his engineers began to
make the necessary preparations 1t
was the purpose of the General to mine
as near the city as possible, and to
place $4,000 pounds of nitro-glycerme
in a mass at a point where the explosion
could not fail to be effective. Indeed,
it was the opinion of Col Schafner that
the explosion of that vast mass would
have utterly destroyed every building
in the city. While the negotiations
were pending, and just before the con-
tracts were to have been signed, Peters
burg was evacuated, and thus the most
stupendous scheme of modern warfare

was entered against tract of land in the
city of Minneapolis, described as ''165 feet
on south-westerly side of Seventh street by
165 feet on north-westerly side of Fifth
avenue sounth." On the 22d
of September, 1850, the county
auditor, pursuant to said judg-
ment, duly sold the premises to Albert
Johnson for $171. which sum Johnson paid,
receiving from the auditor under his Off
cial seal the certificate Of the sale. In
June, 1881, johnson paid the assessed taxes
on the said real estate for the preceding
year, amounting to $2OO86. In December,
1882, he paid taxes to the amount of
$267.30 for the year preceding.
In September, 1881, Rufus J. Baldwin,
the owner and occupant of the premises,
commenced an action against Johnson to
determine and quiet his title to certain
real estate, of which the real estate above
described is part and parcel. On the trial
of said action the tax certificate and tax
Judgment were offered and received as evil
dence, and the tax payments duly proven,
but the court held and adjudged
that the real estate tax judgment was in
sufficient and void in the description of
the land and ordered judgment in favor
of Rufus j. Baldwin, which was duly en-
tered. Johnson then demanded of the
county auditor return of the amount of
taxes paid as aforesaid with legal interest
which the auditor refused, and hence the
suit which was decided yesterday in favor
of the plaintiff. According to the order
of court he is entitled to be paid the S171,
with interest from September %, 1880, at
10 per cent. and the further sum of

MiSSiSSiDDi ,Skeeters.

The railroad station at Mississippi
City is located among the pines, and
the way the mosquitoes were biting there,
even in April, was enough to keep a
mule moving. After awhile we got to
talking about the insects, and I asked a
native of the country:
"Are they thicker than this in the
summer?"
"Thickerl Why, in July there's mil
lion to one!"
"And larger?"
Larger! Why, sir, one of the regu-
lar 'skeeters of this section could carry
twenty of these on his back and still fly
high!"
thought I'd down him at once, and
so continued:
Nov, sir, answer me truthfully. Do
you believe that six of your biggest
mosquitoes could kill mule if he was
tied up out here?"
He looked at me in amazement for q
minute, and then went to the door and
beckoned in the man sitting on box
and watching the horses. When the
man came in, the native said:

"He could?"
"And he was all alone in a ten-acre

"He was"
"And two of them mud swamp 'skeet-
ers got arter him one morning, and run
him down and killed him, and devoured
both hams and sucked every drop of
blood in his body? William, speak
up!"
stranger, if they didn't then I hope
to be chewed to 1ags!" said William,
and he said it exactly like a man who
wouldn't have allowed there were two
'skeeters if he hadn't been earnestly
convinced of the fact. He walked out
doors, and deep silence fell upon us
two, broken only after long interval
by the native saying:
