Dyeing Hair.

Hair dyeing is not entirely feminine
fad or vice, whichever you like to callit. Il
is exceptional for men to take the trouble
and suffer the annoyance and even pain
which continual bleaching and dyeing
entail. But some men are guilty Of the
weakness, and they are not all actors or
men who live by their wits and personal
appearance. Ladies generally prefer
gold, but men who are dissatisfied with
the natural color Of their hair almost in
variably go in for black. To keep VI
the deception, two il not three applica.
tons a week are necessary, and one Gus.
toner Of mine had me visit him every
alternate day for over three years. Dye
ing the hair kills it in time and makes il
brittle and thin during the process, while
the number Of scalp diseases sacrificed
at the shrine Of vanity is legion. Several
BARRIERS now decline all dyeing business,
and l am one Of the number. But in
years gone by / did my share, and adj

they positively make tho fingers sore,
and as the scalp is much more sensitive
than the fingers. the tortures endured
by those who subject their heads to con.
slant irritation in this manner can be
more easily imagined than described

Assyrian Christians.

Tho .shiret Assyrians are wild and UNI
tutored in their habits and customs
Their Christianity consists in little more
than passionate clinglng to faitht ney
do not comprehend, and which from TINS
very fact il powerlcss to influence their
morals Not only are there no schools
among them. but their clergy are incapa-
HE Of instructing their tlocks in the rudi-
meuts of religion; some of them are quite
unable TO conduct n service, others can
repeat the important parts by heart,
while few can read the ancient manu-
scripts. which are still in daily use
throughout the country because there are
no printed books.
II is comparatively rare to find a priest
who can both read and write with facil-
'ity; all other learning is absolutely want
ing. Only during the winter months,
when the snow blocks the entrances TO
the mountains, when all agriculture is at
standstill and Kurdish attacks become
impossible, could these Ashirets give
their minds to education.
The Rev. w. III. Browne. of the Arch
bishop of Canterbury's mission, has been
able to make very small beginning in
this direction. During the rest Of the
year the people till their ground and
pasture their flocks armed to the teeth,
ready to repel the attacks of which they
live in constant dread. Indeed, the Ash
iret Assyrians are in the position of a
beleaguered garrison in n siege which Is
never raised; an unending succession OF
assaults and sortics leaves them neither
time nor inclination to think of more
peaceful matters.
Their whole conversation is limited to
three subjects-guns, the Kurds and the
harvest. On one occasion during my
Journey through the Ashiret valleys in
1885. after vainly trying to interest a
chief in conversation, it occurred TO me
that description Of the Maxim gun
might arouse him. The mans face bright
oned at the relation Of the marvellous
powers of the weapon. and when | had
finished he said: "Ah. If we only had
gun like that we should not fear the
Kurds. No man could make such gun:
it Unjust have been invented 10y the angels"

A MONE~TOTS DAY.

To give the situation precisely its
proper character the people ought to
see that to-day IL n momentous one III
the history Of Virginia.
In the civil war home rule and com
munity independents" were recog-
nized. and on tina. We were enabled 10
reconstruct the States.
But to-day the fundamental principle
Of our popular rights is threatened and
should the audacious coDspirators sue
coed with their coored horde in carry
ing out their scheme this Common
wealth will be put under the heel OF
the most unprincipled men. and utterly
violated in the sanctity of all the polii-
ical rights that belong to American CIT
liens. The will of the intelligent ard
civilized majority will be defeated by
an organized horde Of negroes, led by
wicked men, who have been bought by
pirate.
And the worst Of this business is. that
it will open the whole South to similar
buccaneeripg plans.
The Iart that the Radical national
party has in it is already recognized all
over the land as disgrace and dis
honor TO the American people.
The way to avert the disaster is to
bring the honest Democrats TO the polls,
ard let the white birclings Of Malone
understand clearly that the temper Of
rms people Will not brook any outrage
or trick.
We therefore simply call the atten-
ton of all honest men of Virginia 10

WHAT EVERY VOTER SHOULD RE.
MEMBER.

MEMBER.
Let every man WHO has the right to
cast a vote to-day give the following
facts the most careful consideration
before he exercises the highest preroS-
alive of citizenship.
Let him remember that the election
of Malone would mean the elevation to
power of man who has shown. by q
long series of acts of the same general
character, that he is wholly destitute
OF the most ordinary moral principles
that govern the conduct Of honorable
men. The meanest jealousy. the most
unblushing seliishness. and the gross
eat tyranny has distinguished his bear
ing in all Of bis personal relations. His
career as man of business is blackcn
cd by the criminal perversion of every
important trust that has been placed
in his hands. His whole course us a
politician has been marked by cunning,
treachery, unscrupulousness, and the
lowest appeal to the most degr AIDED in
slincts.
IL he is elected the chief executive OF
Virginia to-day, n most improbable by
pothesis, we shall have advanced to Of
fee a man whose chief aim is to wrealI
his hatred of those who represent the
Intelligence and properly of this State
= man who is the firm ally Of the most
dangerous social elements in our midst,
and the warm friend Of our most en-
ysnomed enemies at the North.
Unfortunately, his election would
mean something more than his personal
ascendency.
1t would mean the elevation Of the
negro TO power. Ii would mean the
practical supremacy of a race alien to
us in origin, sentiment, and character
whose very presence in our midst il Il
serious threat TO the integrity OF our in
situations and cloud upon our material
prosperity.
His election would mean, further, the
success OF his band Of lieutenants, whom
public opinion has stamped as worthy
associates Of their leader, which isabout l
the blacklist stigma that can be affixed |
TO the character Of any set of men.
1t would mean course of vicious and
criminal legislation unsurpassed by the
history of the Tweed and Credit No
Dilier robberies under the cover of law.
II would mean the degradation of our
whole judicial system. Ii would mean
he deepest irritation in the relations of
he races which would lead inevitably
% violent conflicts at any moment. Ii
would mean permanent state of disor-
Ter, confusion, and discomfort.
All this would siguify that our pros
'ority would decline, and that our good
name would be furnished. The dial Of

or OF a century, and our shame and :,

The real question 1T the bottom o:

even admitting such claims. what does
the Republican party do in the South
Aud the answer here is that their ne
farious, ruiuous policy is such as to
drive from their standard every repu
table man Of the Virginia Republicans.
The long list of men who have left Ma
hone is well known, beginning with
Cameron. who won his first victory.
aud who could not affiliate with his
chief after he found cut his ways.
The Radical cause in Virginia is re.
duced TO the lowest methods of politics.

makes their cause worse by its odorous
associations.

calism, will be flock Of hungry vul
lures and kites crosking for the plumber

tempt of all the reputable white people

IL has been bad for the respectable
men who followed Malone vainly sup
posing that q man who betrayed his
party could be true to his friends.

have no pretense Of principle to party
