A Plain German Shave.

In the average barber shop of Ger.
many you are seated in rude chair,
| with mysterious arrangements for the
| head which you never find quite in the
right place and the officiating artist
winds his razor about your face with a
vehement sweep that would cause,
should think, nervous prostration in
| one who had disturbed his nerve cen
tiers by forms OF industry not COM
| mended by medical advisers. The
| friction of the swift razor, keenly wip-
| ing the skin, is, however, sufficient to
| fix the attention of the patient closely
| and spare him from imaginary evils.
One confidential young German OF
my acquaintance could shave the aver
| age-slzed American face with, think,
| six sweeps of the razor. / have known
him to do this, and when the deed
was done he seemed to think his work
was accomplished, but, on being ad-
monished that the situation was un-
satisfactory, he would dip the corner
| of towel, not selected from pile of
fresh ones, in shallow basin of water
and rub the sharply cleansed and
smarting cheeks softly twice, using
three fingers each time. When any
thing more was wanted he understood
it to be the application of vinegar" p"
an aromatic and piquant fluid, which
makes a distinct impression on the
skin just reaped. Ilat young man
could never be induced to dress the
hair unless after cutting or shampoo
ing. There was small comb in the
neighborhood that the customer was
at liberty to apply to his own locks,
and that finished the proceedings. 1t
is proper to say that the price of the
operation was only 5 cents, and that
the shave, though rapid and rough,
was not bad in itself, while the artist
was in his professional capacity, a
truly pleasant youth, who painted in
water colors when unoccupied by his
rasping trade.-Murdt Halstead.

THE Republican party realizes what a short
time it has to act in, and that it is obliged to
showits true colors now, or be forever denied
the privilege of legislating in accordance with
its true demagogic nature. Itwould be glad to
keep the mask on little longer, but knows
that "time's up" and is determined to accom-
plish all the ruin it can. The best work of de-
struction it will do will be recorded on its own
tombstone in 1892 Let the country have a little
patience, for our legislative halls will soon be
purified, and the presidential chair occupied by
a servant of the people.

MR.. sAYFORD THE EVANGELIST.

One of the passengers on the Ma
riposa was Mr.. S. M. Sayford the
evangelist of Boston, Mass, who has
come to hold special revival services.
The first one was at the Y. NJ. 9. A.
hall Sunday afternoon. The attend
ance was large and marked degree
of interest manifested. Mr.. Sayford
spoke entirely without notes and to
the delight and edification of all. At
the close of his address he requested
all who wished to renew their cove
nant with God to manifest it by
standing, when nearly the entire
audience rose to their feet.
In the evening he spoke at the
Central Union church to crowded
audience. His subject was "The
conditions of discipleship," and his
manly and able presentation of Cos
pei truth was greatly enjoyed, and
satisfied his hearers that he was q
preacher of no ordinary ability. He
speaks with great clearness and en-
phasis.
The next service will be at the Y.
M. G. A. hall Tuesday evening.
