Both English and French fashionable
women now use rouge and hair dye
with the utmost irankness, 30 that
powdered hair would not seem an ex-
aggeration--in fact, IL would not be as
harmful as the reddish dye, which is
the fashionable color at present. This,
they say, is more or less poisonous.

Even assuming that the statement made
by the Rev. J. M. Lansing were true, and
that we had elected drunkard Presi-
dent, as he declared, it is difficult to see
what useful purpose could be subserved
by his public proclamation. The Scrip
tural injunction to speak well of rulers is
an excellent one, and clergymen, above
all other people, ought TO be familiar
with it and disposed to follow it. But the
character of the proof which Mr.. Lansing
adduces when he is pressed for evidence
of the truth of his assertion is not OF
that conclusive kind which person
ought to possess, when he makes such q
chargs as this publicly against the chief
magistrate of the land. 10 accuse a man
of drunkenness publicly. and then
when the authority is asked for to say,
as DR.. Lansing does, that it is a man
whose name he cannot make public is
to strike in the dark. 1t is unfair,
unnanly and especially unbecoming a
clergyman.
