had had tho fear of man before him?
Mankind, generally, who tako no active

Prayer is appointed to convey
The blessings God designs to give;

They learn to pray when first they live

4 Modest Duchess.
London Truth,

Victorias youngest son, Leopold, and his
wife, a princess of PyImont- Waldeck, now
by their titles the Duke and Duchess of AL
bany, went to see Henry VIII" al the opera
In Paris, and a correspondent writes: "More
interesting to me than the mock kings and
and queens were the occupants Of box on
the first tier and near the stage. As do not
often go to England, studied its five inmates
with curiosity. They were the Duke and
Duchess of Albany and their attendants.
The Duchess of Albany retains those modest
country graces which distinguished her when
she arrived in England. She did not take the
initiative of making an observation the whole
evening. Her royal husband bent over to-
ward her twice or thrice to say few words.
The lady In attendance had an easy carriage
and leaned back in her chair little, so as
not to intercept her royal MISTRESS view Of
the stage. She did not once open her mouth
or appear to notice anything, yet she contriv-
ed, in acting the affected part which etiquette
demands, to look dignifed and even inde-
pendent, although no stock or stone could
be more inanimate, still there seemed an un-
dercurrent of lively intellect. The Duchess
must be very shy. In looking forward she
holds her head little down. The contrast
she presented to the rastou. quieres in the first

Jewesses who 60 In for chic and pschuH to

what their tongues could not utter their eyes
declared. Their fans were handled with
agility, and were used to express passing
shades Of feeling. The Duchess Of Albany
made honest use Of hers, only tanning her
self when flushed with heat. There was an
almost rustic naivette in her department. her
ambition is clearly not TO shine in the world
of fashion, but to cultivate the public and
private virtues. Many OF the beauties around
had plumes Of feathers arranged in the court
of England style; others had flowers stuck
,rn peu la diable in their coiffures. The
Duchess had large pink feather At the side
head, near the chignon, and about ss low
down. On the other side she had q diamond
ornament of rsdiating pattern. The hair
over the forehead was frise. Her dress was
Of tossure yellow, with Pompadour bouquets
woven into it. The corsage At the neck was
square cut, and was garnished all round with
small, cherry eolored bows and little sprays
OF diamonds. A diamond ornament was
suspended from her neckchaip."

himself that all the chambers of his revolver

But now they heard similar voice in an

were obliged TO make detour TO avoid plac-

GENERAL CROOKS CAREER.
How He Was Taken Prisoner by His Sweet
hearts Brother.
Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
About eleven years ago had talk with
General Crook in San Francisco, in which I
asked him to explain his system of operating
against the Apache Indians in Arizona, whom
he had just defeated. He told me that he
either took Apaches or kindred Indians
whom he had won oyer and had them to
trail the band he meant to fight, and that he
and his soldiery followed days march or
more behind, travelling chiefly by night, so
as to escape the desert heat, and sleeping
under the sagebrush or whatever shade could
be afforded by leaf or hill. His crafty spies
located the Indians and brought him word,
and he generally fell upon them by surprise.
He adopted this policy both in Oregon and
in Arizona, and gave peace to those settle
ments for long period of years.
George Crook entered West Point in 1S4s,
so that he is, judge, about ffty-one years
old. He was put out in California as soon
as he graduated, and served at once against
the Indians, whom he has now known for
thirty years. He was wounded with an ar
row twenty-five years ago. The Rebellion
called him away from eight years of Indian
encounters to the contest of civilized forces,
and he began in West Virginia, was wound
ed there, was promoted for gallant services
at Antietam, then served in the western ar
mics at the head of a division of cavalry,
was at Chickamauga, broke up the guerrillss,
went on several raids, served under Sheri-
dan, and was taken prisoner by his subse-
quent brother.in-law most inhosptably at
Cumberland, but very soon released He
was in all Sheridan's great battles, COM
manded all the cavalry in the army of the
Potomac for awhile, and was in the big pur-
suit to Appomattox. At the close nf the
war he was Lieutenant Colonel, and from
that time to this has been the eagle of Indian
| fighters.
When / saw him last he was long, lean
man. loosely put together, with rather shy,
strange face, as if he had partly turned into
an Indian. He is an Ohio boy. Anything
wild seems tame to Crook. He wants no
friends, and can do with very little family.
During the war he became much interested
in Mary Daley, a young lady of good family
living in Western Maryland, put from Vir-
ginia people living at Moorield. Her people
sympathized with the South, and she had a
brother, member of McNeil's semi-guerrila
band. This young scapegrace, finding that
General Crook and General Kelly stopped at
his fathers hotel in Cumberiand-the former
paying attention to his sister-slipped into
that hotel and captured the two Generals in
the midst of their troops, forced them out of
their lines at the point of the pistol, and
took them to Richmond. Crook was soon
released, probably through the intercession
of his captor. He afterward married Miss
Daley, and she has been with him in a good
many strange places in the West. His
young captor afterward became a sutler at
the camp, not wholly to Crooks liking, for
he was very sensitive about connecting his
reputation with commercial schemes.

& Lawyer OF Great Note.

Washington Correspondence Phla. Record.
Just before the Supreme Court adjourned,
chief Justice Waite said of an argument
made in the case of the States of New York
and New Hampshire against the State Of
louisiana: "This Is the finest legal argu-
ment ever heard.n And Associate Justice
Miller, who took his seat on the Supreme
Bench In 1862, and therefore antedates all
the others, said: 81 concur In that opinion"
The man who made the argument was John
A. Campbell, of New Orleans. He was q
member of the Supreme Court of the United
States when the most famous OF Its present
members were unknown. He held bis place
until the war broke out, and then he left the
Union and the Bench with his State. He Is d
very old man; his form Is thin and bent, his
skin Is In the parchment state, and his hair
Is as white as the driven snow; but q great
mind looks out through his keen, bright eye,
and great soul controls his fragile body.
He Is a lawyer to the core; In some respects
one of the wisest, broadess, deepest, and
most learned In the United States. He has
neither the presence, voice, nor tongue OF the
orator, but when he speaks In bis thin, delib-

CUTTING THE HAIR.
What an Old Physician Has to Say on the
subject.

II may be that cutting and shaving may
for the time increase the action of the growth,
but 1t has no permanent effect either upon
the hair-bnlb or the hair-sac, and will not in
any way add to the life of the hair. On the
contrary, cutting and shaving will cause the
hair to grow longer for the time being, but
in The end will inevitably shorten its term of
life by exhausting the nutritive action Of the
hair. forming apparatus. When the hairs are
frequently cut, they will usually become
coarser, often losing the beautiful gloss of
the fine and delicate hairs. The pigment
will likewise change-brown, for instance,
becoming chestnut, and black changing to a
dark brown. In addition, the ends of very
many will be split and ragged, presenting a
brush-like appearance. If the hairs appear
stunted in their growth upon portions of the
scalp or beard, or gray hairs crop up here
and there, the method Of clipping off the
ends of the short hairs, Of plucking out the
ragged wIthered, and gray hairs. will allow
them to grow longer, stronger, and thicker.
Mothers, in rearing their children, should
not cut their hair at certain periods of the
year (during the superstltious period of full
moon) In order to increase its length and
luxuriance as they bloom into womanhood
and manhood. This habit of cutting the
hair Of children brings evil in the place OF
good, and is also condemned by the dstin-
guished worker in this department, Professor
Kapsoi, of Vienna, who states that II is we'll
known that the hair of women who possess
luxuriant locks from the time of girlhood
never again attains It's original length after
having once been cut.
Pincus has made the same observation by
frequent experiment, and he adds that there
is general opinion that frequent cutting Of
the hair increases its length, but the effect is
different from that generally supposed.
Thus, upon one occasion he states that he
cut off circles of hair an inch in diameter on
the heads of healthy men, and from week to
week compared the intensity of growth of
the shorn place with the rest Of the hair.
The result was surprising TO this close and
careful observer, as he found in some cases
the numbers were equal, but generally the
growth became slower after cutting, and he
has never observed an increase In rapidity.
/ might also add that I believe many
beardless faces and bald heads In middle and
advancing age are often due to constant cut
ting and shaving in early life. The young
girls and boys seen daily upon our streets
with their closely cropped heads, and the
young men with their clean-shaven faces,
are year by year by this fashion having their
hair forming apparatus overstrained.

HOW HE GOT HIS START.
The First Big Hit Made by Jones of New


Washington Sunday Herald.
have recently heard story touching the
early life of Senator Jones of Nevada, which
Is most interesting and should not be lost,
aud which, / am told, is true in every respect
and illustrative Of the characteristics of a
class now almost passed away-tbe "Fnrtr
miners" in California. This is my story !:
Jones had gone TO California with thousands
of others when the wonderful discovery of
gold in that far off land thrilled every hamlet
and village. He had had good and bad for
tune. Among those who went TO seek their
fortunes there was a man named Hayw ard, ,
from Vermont. He was rather the superior
of his associates in education and totally un-
like them In habits. They were working in
pretty good pay dirt and at first had fair sue
cess, But finally one after another went
away to more promising localities, until
Jones and few others, among them Hayward
were left at the old diggings. Hayward had
claim on the mountain side that as yet had
shown no particular promise. Still he stuck
to it. One hot summer day, when the red
hills were quivering with. heat, Hayward
came to see Jones. Said he, "Jones, l am
very near to a wonderful vein. / know it ;
feel It, But am fiat broke. / want ST.
900. With that / will make both of our for
tunes"
"Now, old fellow" said Jones, 81 have
known just 1000 men who were in exactly
your fix. They only needed $1,000 aud
sometimes S1O0 to make their eternal ALL"
But Hayward continued. Finally Jones
| said:
81 will give you this money. have $3,-
900 buried under the fireplace, and when the
| fire goes out and my Chinaman leaves will
get il out for you. But don't ask Inc for any
more. cannot afford to lose more than
that; and, while give it to you with the uf-
most heaItiness, don't ask me for any more"
Hayward got the money and said: "When
1 strike it will give you quarter interest"
One afternoon, about month after this
happened, Jones was sitting in bis cabin,
when Hayward suddenly burst in, as white
| as q sheet.
"Jores," said he, 81 have struck it."
"Struck what ?'' said Jones.
al don't know just what yet," answered
Hayward, "but have struck the richest vein
j have ever seen."
They went together to look az IL, and sure
enough, Hayward had struck an immense
"bonanza" or pocket, of almost pure gold.
Jones, with bis experience, saw it was the
richest mine in California. They sent to
San Francisco for Eugene Kelly, then a
young mining expert of great ability. He
pronounced 1t the greatest strike In his time.
Hayward had found the New Amador, the
richest mine in the world. He sold 1t to
Wells, Fargo and some others for S., 900 900,
and the day the sale was made be gave Jones
81, $50 900. Jones afterwards married Hay
wards daughter. But this is the history of
the New Amador and of the great start in
life of Jones of Nevada.
