A Colored Nan's View.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept 10.-Please allow
me space in the columns of your paper
to make a special call to my colored
race. Now, dear friends, l have seen
false statement, made by the Augusta
Herald, concerning Judge Hines speech
at Statesboro, Ca, April Goth, 1854,
and also another false statement, made
by Editor Barnes. This infamous arti-
Gle appeared in the Augusta Chronicle
of today. Now | will just say all of
the above false statements only mean
to make false impressions. Dear col
ored friends, can't you all see at once
that this trick is gotten up to fool the
colored people, and to make votes for
the democratic party? Now, it is not
worth while for the democratic news
papers to publish any more such silly
bOSh as those above, for the colored
people are going to vote with the popu-
lists. To show you all that the demo-
cratic newspapers don't tell the truth,
bless your life. these very same news
papers that are filled up now with
democratic falsehooGs are the very
same papers that said Judge Hines was
high toned Christian gentleman prior
to his nomination. Our race helped to
pick this man out, and they helped to
nominate him, and now, think, we
ought to help to elect him. When the
democrats nominated Atkinson they
did not allow the colorcd people to
have anything to do with his nomina-
ton. AS they would not let my race
have anything to do with the nomina-
ton, l advise them not to have any
thing to do with helping to elect At
kinSon.
We want good government and cast
ing our votes with the populits is the
only way that Wen ever get it. We
don't want social equality, but we want
equal rights and exact justice, this
falsehood is gotten up to excite the
passion of the people and make them go
against the populist party, the master
has said that we must be aware of the
false prophets for they would go out
and deceive many; SO take warning and
cast your votes with the great populist
party. Yours for the cause of the
populist,
HENRY H. GooDALL.

Out of the cloud, some gracious angels bosom,

The great soft pearls of rain are dropping

Faster they fall, and every leaf is trembling
With JOY expectant, while the mountains

And all the forest dopta is watered now.

Into earth's heart until her longing stills;

KEEPING EGGS.
A French Nsturalist's Interesting and Sue
cessful Experiment.

A French Naturalist's Interesting and Sue
csssful Experiment.
A French naturalist has been expert
menting on eggs with u view to dis
covering a means for keeping them
fresh for a long period, m he assures
us that he has Matched chickens from
eggs kept for over two years by this
process. His method is simple, and
consists in dissolving some gum-lak in
in q sufficient quantity Of alcohol to
make q slight glaze. Into this each
egg is dipped; and when they are com
pletely dry they are packed in bran or
sawdust, taking care to place the large
end upward. When the eggs are want
ed, the glaze must be carefully removed
with some alcohol, and they will be
found in the same state as when they
were enveloped. The rationale Of this
process consists in intercepting the air
and preventing it penetrating the
shell. As is generally known, the egg
shell is perforated by a myriad of small
pores, which can only be perceived by
the aid OF p microscope. Through
these pores, day by day, the albumen
inside the egg evaporates, and its place
is taken by air. When the egg is full,
a fluid passes constantly toward the
pores, and is the principal agent OF
corruption, being manifested more
rapidly in warm weather than in cold
weather. An egg absolutely fresh is
entirely full, but stale eggs nave all an
empty space in proportion to their age,
caused by the loss of albumen by evap-

WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE BALD2


cihhs ana barDefs.
In these degenerate days there are
a great many men whose heads are
bald, and the consequence is hat a
large proportion of any community
will be found to be interested in the
subject of hair, on the principle, pre-
sumably, that most of us are given to
thinking about and placing a high
value upon what we haven't got and
can't by any possibility obtain. When
a man once loses his hair it is gone for
ever, and about that time he Is not I'M
likely to begin to inquire what is good
for the hair, what causes badness and
whether it is best to have the head
shaver or singed-all too late.
A question that often arises and is
seldom answered twice in the same
way is rs to why the hair falls out on
the top of the head and not at the back
and on the sides. The old-fashioned
theory is that badness occurs within
the lines marked by a mans hat, and,
as nobody has ever offered conclusive
proof to the contrary, that explanation
may be the correct one.
The case was stated h other day to
two very intelligent BARRIERS. One of
them thought that the reason why
badness occurred at the top of the
head was that the brain came closest
to the surface there, and this being an
age in which many brains are kept go
ing at high tension, the abnormal
amount OF blood thus carried to the
Uranium produced a kind of fever in the
upper scalp. Fevers, as is well known,

hair.
The second barber gave variety to the
discussion by enlarging upon a notion
that he had formed from the observa-
ton and reflection of many years.
You will notice." he said, that the
first hair a baby has comes in on the
top of the head and falls out before the
child Is many weeks old. The hair
that m 70 stay rows thicker and
stronger on the sides and at the back,
and l ave an idea that the growth on
the top of the head is always the weak
est from infancy on to old age"
But how do you account for the
fact that women do not grow bald as
men do?' queried a skeptical listener.
Account for it? don't have to ac-

I used to work in an establishment
where they had nine chairs in the

you could appreciate as l do the num-
Der of women who have false hair SO
artistically arranged that nobody can
tell It from their own natural tresses
you wouldn't ask why men grow bald
and the other sex doesn't"
Hairdressers have their pet theories
on this subject as well as BARRIERS, and
some of them are very plausible. But

People Who Are Often Placed In False fo-

In this world where 1t is SO easy to

took some pains not to place our friends
In false positions as much as it lies in
our power to do. How many a person
has had a wrong tag affixed to them
through no fault Of their own, like a
lily root which a careless florist labels
as an onion, or a specimen of silver ore
which a short-sighted m~ineralogist
shelves as rock crystal. Half the wom-
en- you call naughty are only s~elf-con-
scious and shy, while merely the
worlds misconception of their nature
has given them the reputation for su-
percilious pride. Half the women who
pass for scolds are only the victims of
too keen a ems of justice. What
you term irritability is but the morbid
exercise of a rare virtue. 1 say all
this in vindication of myself, for the
reason that 1 Am being held to the
standard of false estimate and am pow
erless to help myself. Two little
working girls have written me a very
nice letter. In it they say much which
l would like to answer, but, with a
carelessness born of lack of experience
they have affixed neither date nor ad-

While the two Americans, Messrs.

Notwithstanding the feast of the night

to furnishing us with bed-clothes
which we really ought to have been

to vacate the premises. Thereupon he
and his grown son caught hold of our

Economy of Pure Food.

There are many persons who, from q
misguided sense Of economy, purchase
food which they know to be inferior,
SO that they may thereby save, in or.
der to meet other demands of the fam
lily. Handsome clothing and fine
houses In aristOcratic neighberhoods
are desirable, we admit, but not at the
expense of the most important factor
Of our existence; especially when we
know that pure, 'nourishing food is the
immediate cause of pure blood, and
consequently, more perfect nerve and
brain power. 1t is not only false
economy but positive crime to obtain
sdibles below the standard for the
use of sustaining both the men
tai and physical health of any
human being.-Baltimore Telegraph.
