A Living Hero.

The residents of North Platte,
Neb., fully realizes the fact that a
living hero has his home among
them; and that the Hon. VIM. +.
Cody, who is popularity known as
Buffalo Bill, in pluck and manliness,
and all the attributes which COM
bine to make a brave and modest
man, is just as he is represented in
the exciting narratives Of real life in
the wild west, which has recently
became SO popular in the New York
Weekly. On Wednesday,, Oct. 6,
Mr.. Cody returned to his homo in
North Platte; and the occasion was
made memorable by the hearty
welcome accorded him by the pop
ulace. The public buildings, and
many of the private ones, were
gayly decorated with bunting, and
the people turned out ip body to
receive the great scout. The Mayor,
Hon. Geo. W. Hammond, welcomed
him in an affecting speach at the
depot, and he was rendered ban
quet in the Pacific Hotel. Among
other pertinent remarks made in
response to the toast Of which he
was the subject, Buffalo Bill said:
81 have tried to show that cowboy
hat is not the emblem of brutality,
any more than minister's gown is
always the robe of righteousness; I
have tried to show that we, men of
the west, who made this wilderness
blossom like the rose, deserve o
place in the memory of this mighty
nation" Truthful words these, and
spoken modestly too; but if you
would hear what the hero who ut
tered them did towards making the
wild west a home for peaceful peo-
pie, you must read Ned Outlines
great story Of Buffalo Bills Last
Victory" just commenced in No. 5
of the New York Weekly. The
exploits of living characters are
narrated in this great narrative,
and among the brave scouts who
figure therein are Buffalo Bill and
Texas Jack. For sale by all news

The Inaestruetibility of Gold.

Gold may be said to be everlasting, in
destructible. The pure acids have no
effect upon it, Air and water are alike
prohibited from working its destruction;
while TO 9aser metals they are decay, TO
gold they are innocuous. Bury il
through long ages, and when the rude
tool OF the excavator again brings il TO
light, while everything around Il has re-
turned to dust from which it sprang;
while the delicate form which il adorned
has become powder so impalpablc as to
be inappreciable; while the strong bone
of the mighty warrior crumbles as YOU
gaze upon it; while the trusty sword lies
mass of shale rust, the delicate tracery
in gold which adorned it, or the finely
wrought tiara which encircled the lofty
brow of the fair damsel, is there in its
pristine beauty, perfect as when ii left
the workmans hands and became the Joy
OF her iieeting moments. Yes, days,
years, centuries have rolled by; mighty
empires have risen and fallen; dynasties
that dreamed their power to be everlast.
ing have passed away; armies have
marched, conquered and become nerve
less with decrepit old age cities teeming
with population and commerce have be-
come the dwelling place of the owl and
the bat; the very pyramids themselves,
raised in the pride of power and destined
TO be forever, have crumbled and are
crumbling, and yet the thin filament of
| gold has stood unchanged.

The Care of the Hair.

Where badness, which sometimes oc-
ours in quite young persons, is heredi,
tary, it is doubtful if anything can be
done to prevent or remedy it. Avoid
"restoratives' and other nostrums, and,
as rule, do not use pomatums or oils
upon the head.
The thorough use Of moderately
stiff brush will greatly promote the health
of the scalp and prevent the falling Of
the hair without other preparations. The
