derstood that masses of false hair injurs
natural growth, but freak of fashion
which seems harmless may be made
equally hurtful. This apparently inno-
cent fashion is that of fufliness and
lightness of the hair produced by con-
tinual washing. The best specialists on
treatment of the hair say that the hair
should be washed once in six
weeks and not oftener, and that
CASTLE soap and not borax. soda OF
any other drying material should be
used. After washing it is well to rub
the scalp with some reliable ointment.
The natural oil, which to some appears
Objectionable. is the lfe-giving oint-
ment of the hair and should not be de-
stroyed. Dry hair has dead appear

but soft brush, used judiciously, gives
vigor to the scalp and keeps it in a
healthy condition. The practice of cut
ting the ends of the hair is useful, and
can be accomplished easily by braiding
the ha'r and then cutting the ends. The
care of the hair is certainly as impor-
tant as that of the teeth, but is much
more neglected. The rules of its pres.
ervation are simple and important.
Vigorous brushing, cutting the ends
when necessary, washing with CASTLE
soap once in six weeks and the desira.

GRANT IN MEXICO.

A Story of His Intrepidity Told by q
Fcllow-Ohcer.
Some time since. in speaking with
Captain H. L. Shields, of this cty-a
most gallant officer of the army in the
war with Mexico-of General Grant,
the Captain narrated an instance of the
great soldiers heroism at the capture
of the City of Mexico. The Captain is
now at his summer home at Bennington,
and we telegraphed him request to
write for us some "reminiscences of the
deceased General. This the Captain
has done with characteristic elegance
of dction, but with the brevity of q
soldier. Captain Shields tribute to
Grant in the closing lines is as pc nted
as it is brief:
Il was cadet at West Point during
part of the time that U. S. Grant was
there--my senior by few years. He
was then quiet. modest young man,
with no enemies and but few intimate
personal friends. He was remarkable
only as bold, fearless horseman. He
rode the three-quarter bred chestnut
horse York, noted at the Military
Academy in those days as an animal OF
great courage and style and remarka-

the advance in the Valley of Mexico on
one of the causeways leading to the
capital of that country. When near

so well swept by artillery in intrench-

street, when, by a few well-drected
musketry shots from the housetops, the
cannoneers were driven from their posts
and abandoned their guns, and so
opened the way for our troops. Thus

THE FAMOUS PONY sxpaess.


Where IL Went. How 1t Went. and what

prairie fires and rattlesnakes. Once

weary month must elapse ere any

Great was the excitement when a
company of fearless. deter mined men
announced their resolution to carry let
ters from the shores of the Atlantic to
those Of the Pacific In fourteen DAYS.
Tho feat was deemed impossible.
Nevertheless. the Central Overland
California and Pixies Peak Express was
duly organized, the vast expense Of
country right across the Great Continent
was divided into runs of sixty miles,
and at each terminus rude log huts were
erected as stations and stables for men
and beasts.

journey of upward of 1000 miles in 240
