who is now visiting ths principle points in
the State, in behalf Of this new Journal
which is to make its appearance with the
beginning of the new year, paid US visit

prosperous days, John Nugsn., is to be the
editor in chief Of the new paper. Mr.. Nu-
gents ability as an editor is acknow ged

and most desirable independent paper on the

Bsden, We became preposessed with the
idea of bis being courteous, candid gentle
man, and one who will fairly represent the
enterprise for which be is soliciting, aud will
so recommend him to such Of our readers as
ha may call upon.


The Herald will be mailed to subscribers

NEW YORK, Feb. IA special from Wash
lngton to the Times states that the reasons why
the Senate Judiciary Committee have not
heretofore, favorably reported upon the House
bill making the ma Iority of votes cast SUFFICIENT
10 ranIy the Constitution of any State, is be-
cause OF the representations OF prominent
southern loyalists, who have argued to the
the rebels TO go to the polls, and that in many
places they would take y prssession of the same
and prevent the friends Of reconstruction from
voting.


The Committee are not opposed to the bill.

Grant lie not opposed to Gen Sherman assum-

FATHER RYAN.-This distinguished priest
and southern poet preached to large con-
eregation at the Cathedral, on Sunday, on
Faith. His sermon was one in which was
displayed unusual beauty and strength OF
Language, forcible and striking illustrations,
and an earnestness of manner which at
once fixed the attention of every one upon
the speaker. In the afternoon he preached
at St. Patrick's upon the efforts and failure
of men in this world.to find happiness. He
drew most vivid and beautiful moral pic
ture, and entered into such grand and elo-
quent flights of illustrative oratory that
it almost made one fear for the conclusion
and vet never was there word lacking, and
each word was the word in its most appro-
pirate place. His SMILES were exquisite,
and the conclusion of his effort was crowned
with most beautiful picture of the SUM
nit of Christian hope for happiness, where
the wearied, faithful pilgrim of the world
at the end of his journey could begin to see
afar off the land of bliss, the regions OF the
blest, and could look back upon the cares
troubles, and disappointments of the vale
he had nearly passed through as at an end

more or whom they would be more hap

We think 1t time that men were chosen
to fll this high Office because of their
fitness for the Office rather than as a
reward for treachery to our party or
fealty to another and just as we would

The Relief.
Sometimes at night when on my bed,
Wrapt round with sleep, | seem to hear
In dreams the slow and measured tread
Of soldiers drawing near.
Al round the night is hung with gloom:
Tie murky air is chill and damp;
And grim and dark the shadows loom
About the sleeping camp.
Nearer and nearer DER the ground,
Close, even step the soldiers keep;
Heard with hollow, falling sound
distinctly in .Ay sleep.
They reach the tent wherein | seem
Ouce more, as oft of old, to lie;
And in the network of my dream
With steady tramp goby.
A. last they near the sentry's beat;
hear his order sharply sound:
Halt - and no more the marching feet
Rc-echo DER the ground.
I hear, or seem at least to hear,
His challenge, uttered stern and brief
The answer, spoken low and clear,
And know It's the Relief.
And, waking. End it but dream,
Born of the cloud of battle past,
Whose fringes frightened with the gleam
Of peace that dawned at last.
Oh hearts borne down by grief and care,
Yearning and praying for the light,
Watchful as anxious sentries, where
You stand hung round with night;
Who let no doubtful step come near
Without the challenge stern and brief;
Who listen, but who never hear


The tread Of the Relief;
Sooner or later it will fall,


Through the thick darkness drawing


nigh,


And to your earnest challenge-call


Shall angel lips reply!

This affection is usually prevalent among
boys from fifteen to eighteen years old. You
don't know what chin fever is perhaps. The
first symptoms aie frequent inclination to
pass the hand over the chin sometimes
over the upper lip. The sufferer has an
expression as though impatiently expecting
something, which delayed in coming. He
will frequently gaze carefully in the looking
glass, as though it was the mirror of for
tune. As the trouble increases the afflicted
boy may be seen to get little ease by ap-
plying strong soap-suds to his face; so anx-
ious is he sometimes. to get rid of his trou-
BILE that he has been seen to cut his throat
with his iathcr'srazor Asusual, the ouack
medicine dealers take advantage of persons
in such trouble, and advertise compounds
warranted to cure the worst cases in from
three to six weeks; but these applications
only aggravate the symptoms, and cause
more violent manipulation Of the face.


1t is relief to know that this trouble is
not fatal, and disappears gradually as the
beard grows, though VIC have known cases
where some OF the symptoms, especially
passing the hand atlectionatcly over the face,
have remained through life. The best treat
ment for the patient perhaps, is to let him
alone, as an advance in such cases usually
aggravatcs the complaint. If any, how.
ever, should really wish to know what to do
with the beard when it first appears, we
answer, lett alone until it becomes unsightly,
then trim it, Too early and frequent shaw.
ing will make it troublesome in after years;
If not abused by continuous cutting it will
be more likely to remain soft and silky.

sent by the conductor to the Troy House
with note saying that the lads father
would arrive in the boat the next morning,
and also directing that the hotel porter
should take the boy to the boat to pick out
his father, as the latter did not know where
to find his son on arriving. The boy was
kept over night and the next morning sent
to the boat. Tho father did not arrive, and
the little fellow was brought back to the
hotel, where he soon grew uneasy and began
to cry. Various expedients were rosorted
to to please him, until finally gentleman
from Troy, whose little son is also mute,
came up and took the stranger to his house,
where he has since remained as "happy as
the day is long" But the father has hot
yet arrived, and the fear is expressed that

large lot Of Chinese tails-I mean human
hair tails, such as adorn the heads of the
subjects Of the celestial empire. The bar
gain was soon struck at the low rate of two
francs and half per tail, and the vender
was encouraged to bring as many more as he
could procure. The hair was coarse and
black, and did not seem to me fitted to add
to the attractions Of any female head, so
inquired to what use it could be put. "Usc!"
exclaimed the hairdrcsser, 'soyc. trunqwQc,

q demand for hair just now that We arc too

you this story, as it may furnish a useful
