USEFUL PRESCRIPTIONS
For Diseases of the Hair. Face, Randl
Nails and Body.

For Diseases of the Hair, Face, Hands.
Nails and Body
DR.. ingram, IN the New York World,
gives the following everyday prescrip-
tons:
For the cure of dandruff of the ordi-
nary character get a mixture of the tine
ture Of green soap and alcohol ounce
of the former and IS ounces of the lat
ter-and apply to the scalp every second
OF third day.
Chapped hands and lips demand a cold
cream, mutton tallow or caInphor ice,
and protection from cold and wind.
Superfluous hair on the face can be re-
moved by the caustic depilatories sold
by druggists, but their continued use
may result In injury to the skin.
The ordinary corn requires a shoe
which is a perfect fit and the application
of one of the many corn remedies on
sale-they are all practically the same
in composition. A bunion needs the per-
sonal care Of q physician.
Ingrowing nails should be softened by
soaking in warm water, lifted from the
flesh at the corners by thin pieces Of
| cork or shreds of cotton, and scraped in
the middle SO that there will bel groove
from one end of the nail to- the other.
The neil should never be permitted to
grow long.
The steaming process for clearing the
face of im~perfections consists of anoint-
ing the face with some greasy substance,
steaming from a kettle, washing in hot
water and applying a soft powder. 1t is
better to have this done bya skilled oper-
ator, as it is rather a difficult operation.
The inunctions Of cod liver, sperm and
other oils for increasing flesh consist Of
rubbing the oil on the skin and letting it
remain there until the skin is nearly dry.
Gentle massage Is of benefit during the
amounting.
To reduce flesh, Turkish baths, mas
age, plenty of exercise, temperance In
regard to drink and the use of sweet and
oily foods, are recommended. The wear
ing of a waist binder and a breast sup
porter assists materially.
A simple hair tonic may be made by
mixing an ounce of refined castor oil
with a pinto f alcohol ard adding a dram
of tincture Of cantharide$.

MANCHESTER, Mar. 2i.-An agree

meeting yesterday it was agreed that
the spinners should accept reduction
of seven pence in the pound in their
wages. The masters agreed to again

AnImnortant DECISION.

A very novel case was decided in the
Court of Appeals at Richmond yester-
day. 1t was that of Statham against
Blackford, superintendent, and others.
This was an appeal rom decree of the
Circuit Court of the city of Lynchburg.
The petition of Mrs. Maria V. Statham
asked for peremptory writ Of man.
damus against Dir. Benjamin Backford,
Superintendent of the Western Insane
Asylum Allen w. Talley, the petition
er's committee, and William w. and
Mary Statham, and sought to have q
discharge from the asylum. Briefly,
the case seems to have been one in
which Mrs. Statham, shortly after the
death of her husband, was sent to the
asylum upon writ from the County
Court of Appomattox adjudging her in
sane. which writ was obtained by her
son and daughter, William and Mary
Statham. These proceedings were TAX
en- without any knowledge on the part
of Mrs. Statham and without any de-
Tense from her. She had considerable
property, which was turned over to a
committee, Allen w. Talley, who was
appointed by the court.
Subsequently the petitioner was
granted n Through by the Board of
Directors of the asylum and sent to
Lynchburg, where she resided at the
home of her son. The dispositions of
several physicians show that rom that
time she has appeared to be in perfect
w sane condition. She applied to DR..
Blacliford foe her discharge, but he re-
fused to see her and stated that he
still held her under the jurisdiction of
the asylum at the request of her son
and daughter, William w. and Mary
Statham, and her committee, Mr.. Tai
ley. The Superintendent also said that
he had been informed that she had
paroxvsms of recurrent mania. The
petitioner therefore prayed that
mandamus be granted to her and that
the parties defendant be required to
show cause against her prayer, that
the question of her sanity might be
properly tried by court and by q
Jury, if necessary. To this petition all
the defendants demurred, and the Cir
cult Court sustained the demurrers.
The Court of Appeals reyerses the
decree of the lower tribunal and orders
the issuance of writ in accordance
with the petition. 1t takes the high
ground that as it is admitted that Mrs.
Stratham is sane and is only detained
because her children, William and
Mary, and the committee wish it, she
is entitled to her discharge and
proper certificate. 1t says: in a case
like this the court ought not to lend
ready ear TO anything but the very
right" The opinion asserts positively
that the asylum is the place for insane
and not sane persons, and is therefore
no place for those of sound mind. A
rule against the Superintendent of
the Western Insane Asylum was dis
missed. The opinion was prepared by
Judge Lacy and concurred in by Judges
Hinton and Fauntleroy. Judges Lewis
and Richardson dissented.

MRS. PICKETT AND Mrs. CUSTER
The New York Southern Society gave
4 reception last night to the widows of
Generals Custer and Pickett, at the So
cicty rooms, IS West Twenty-fil,h
street. The rooms were appropriate
w decorated with plants and ferns,
and, in addition to the usual features
of reception, there was q musical
programme for the entertainment Of the
.lsitors and their friends. The men,
bers were allowed to bring in their
lady friends, and, in spite of the
weather, there were many who availed
themselves of the privilege. The re-
ception, which began at nine o'clock,
continued till midnight. The recep
ton committee consisted of Mrs. AL
gernon S. Sullivan, Mrs. j. c. Calhoun,
Mrs. Hugh r. Garden, Mrs. James II.
Parker, Mrs. Charles a. Deshon, Mrs.
Howard X. Bayne, Miss S. C. McCay.
General w. w. Kirkland, Colonel
John C. Calhoun, Colonel A. G. Dick
inson, Captain Hugh r. Garden, DR..
James II. Parker, DR.. George Tucker
Harrison, Colonel John R. Abney.
Mrs. Pickett, the widow of General
George f. Pickett, whose corps distin-
guished itself at Gettysburg in 1863,
intends, it is said, to give series of
parlor recitations in New York during
the spring She is not frequent visi
tor to that city, but has many admirers
there, and it is reported that she may
make New York her home.
The reception committee saw that every
one felt at home and enjoyed the wholesome
cd but informal hospitality for which the re-
ception in the societys parlors are noted.
The widows of the two distinguished generals
were the centres of attraction, and Mrs. Pick
EFT, in response to an urgent request, gave
some very entertaining southern dialect read
ings. There was also some vocal music and
violin solo from young southern lady, the
guest of General Kirkland. Mrs Jefferson
Davis and Miss Winnie Davis were among
those specially invited, rs we're also General
Fitzhugh Lee and General James Longstreet.
Those who attend the reception included all
the prominent southerncrs rosiden. there and
their families. The reception to Mrs. Custer
and to Mrs Pickett will be followed by others
to ladies of prominence from the North as
well as from the South. The society has
taken lead among New York clubs in OPEN
ing its rooms to ladies, the popularity of
which has been proved by the demand for in
vitations to these receptions.

THE ORDERS of the present admins
tration are not like the laws of the
Modes and Persians which altereth not,
for they are as variable as the weather.
The one in respect of ex-office holders
has been changed so often and i'll so
many ways that nobody now under
stands it, and while some of the class
referred to are going home under the
belief that they are excluded, others
are going to Washington in the conf
dent hope that they are not. No such
order should have ever been issued.
This is nominally, at least, free and
equal country, and all its citizens, there
fore, ex-office holders included, should
be upon an equal footing, and for them
to be otherwise under democratic ad-
ministration is grotesque absurdity.
