The GREAT SUPPLANTER OF ALL HAIR
OLs.-We have recently been informed by
two ladies, whose testimony is reliable, one
living with the Shakers in New Gloucester
the other in Mount Desert, and both far ad-
vanced in years, and having very fine heads
of hair, that washing the head with cold
black tea once or twice week, win keep the
hair from falling of, prevent its growing gray,
and give it fine, lively lustre. While we
have confidence in the remedy, we ask moth
ing for it.

PORTLAND AND BANGOR. - The ocean
route between Portland and Bangor is pecu-
harly attractive at this season. You 60 down
to the FOOT OF State street, about bed time,
any night in the week. There lies the steam
er. BY eleven O'Clock you are sound asleep,
and she is off. When you wake next morn
ing, she is running smoothly up the beautiful
Penobscot, and at twelve you land in Bangor.
Returning, you leave Bangor at five in the
morning, float drowsily down the river all the
morning, retire for siesta after dinner, and
presto you are in Portland, in ample season
for the late train for Boston, if you choose to
so further and fare worse. All this with
out dust or cinders! We are not surprised
to learn that the business on this line is in
creasing both in the number of passengers
and the amount of freight. The boats are
thoroughly neat and tidy. Rates of freight
have recently been reduced nearly 90 per cent.


IAN APPLE BLOSSOM" = We have re-
ceived from Mr.. M. F. King, the well known
photographer of this city, beautifully photo
graphed copy OF new medallion by Akers,
bearing the above title. 1t is very admira-
reproduction of the original, and an excel
lent specimen OF the art in which Mr. King
excels. The medallion from which it is t.ken
is one of Akers' latest works, and also one OF
the best which has come from his moulding
hand. 1t represents very youthful and
beautiful female, with the hair drawn back
ON the smooth temnleS and hound with
fl let in which is thrust a single apple blossom.
The sentiment of the thing is charming, and
the execution extremely satisfactory. Lovers
of art will find it well worth visit to the
sculptors studio to examine it. Copies of the
photograph, which is copyrighted by Mr.
King, can be obtained at his rooms on Middle
street.

The EXTRA Bounty There appears to ba
great trouble at Washington about the eYtro
bounty recently voted to the soldiers bv Con.
gresS. The Paymaster- General reports that
ne receives fifteen hundred applications for this
bounty, per day, but is unable to do anything
more than file them away for future reference,
as there are not any funds in the Treasury NOT
already appropriated, and the Special Commits
sion having the subject of the payment of the
extra bounty under consideration, have not vet
reported. 1t is the opinion in the Paymaster
Generals Department that these claims cannot
be adjusted for some months yet, and, in fact,
no form of application has been devised by the
Department. This being the case soldiers can
gam nothing by haste, but when the exact ope-
ratlon OF the law is ascertained by the Commits

The GULF STREAM A ROUTE TO TIE POLE.
"A letter written by an eminent French geo
grapher, and read before the French Academy,
expresses the opinion that the Gulf Stream
keeps its identity as far north as Siberia, and
Is lost only when it reaches the Polar Basin
The writer states that the Gulf Stream always
melts path through seas of ice which it cross
es, and he contended that the Pole is not al
ways occupied by ice. From this he deduces
the theory that, in the prolongation of the
Gulf Stream between Spitzbergen and Nova
Iembla to the Polar Basin, navigators should
find the easiest route to reach the Arctic Pole.

The GULLorISE IN morton. = The telegraph
Informs US that the President is steadily engaged
in the work of decapitating radicals, and from
another source we learn that he will never stay
his hand until every disuuonist is removed
from Office. The good work has already COM
nenced on this coast, the first victim being
Noah Brooks, Naval Officer of the Port of San
Franciseo-an Office worth $1,000 a-year, steal

with the dsuRionists, and very properly has
come to yrief In this Territory, as also in the
adjoining State of Oregon, the work of purifca-
tIou will soon commence President Johnson is
too good a patriot to permit the enemies of the
Government to hold its Offices. The little band
OF traitors who make their headquarters at
Olympia should prepare for the worst Not
man of them will be spared, and as their heads
fall at each stroke of the political gullotine the
people will feel that " treason is being made
odious" The developments of the last few
months abundantly show, that failing to rule,
the radicals are determined to ruin the Govern
ment. The action of the late Congress in or
dering the distribution of public arms in certain
States where the radicals presumed to be in
the majority, is only part of plot which has
for its object the Inauguration of civil war, and
with it the enslavement of all those who refuse
to bow down and worship an ebony idol Thanks
to an overruling Providence, we no longer have
an imbecile Buchanan in tho Executive office,
but in his stead man of iron nerve and lofty





patriotism who will grapple with treason when
ever and wherever It dafes to rear its horrid
front The folly of permitting traitors to plant
their batteries and perfect their plans-the Gov
ernment al1 the while looking idly on-is not
to be repeated butinstead we shall have a wise
and firm administration of public affairs that
will not hesitate to lay hands on even incipent
treason, and anticipating the plans of the enc
mics of the Government, will crush them to the
earth before they have time to deal the first blow
against the national life. 1t is barely possible
that the country is fated to again pass through
the throes of civil war. If so, we at least have
the consolation of knowing that the tried men
who cOped with and finally overthrow Southern
chivalry will be more than equal to Contest
with Northern fanaticism. A faction that takes
Beast Butler and Humbug Fremont as its high
est types 'of military genius, ia not greatly to
be dreaded in the event of a resort to arms.

DoNAHuE HEARD FRoM.-We have it on good
authority that Donahue, the man charged with
the murder of Fcrd Patterson, and whose release
from the county Jail our readers are familiar
with, has been discovered in the Big Bend coun-

to answer for his crime. As we are informed
Ned Ryan, former City Marshal of Walla Walla
was the first to discover the hiding place of the
murderer, and through his agency steps were
taken that are likely to result in the return Of
the fugitive. The capture of Donohue, without
doubt, will lead to an explanation as to the
manner of his release from the county Jail. The
chances now are that we shall learn who wert
the parties to the general Jail delivery and thu,
made themselves accessories after the fact to tn,
crime of murder. c~D

Since the GboYe was in type we have received
the following, from Rev. J. W. McGhee, which
gives fuller account of tho sad occurrence


H. A. Livingston was born on the 9th of
October, 1928, and came to his death by a most
horrible and distressing accident on the oath of
ces: While assisting to pitch grain from a
wagon to a thrashing machine on the farm of j.
W. McGhee, on Coppei, he stepred off the wag-
on, from which the load had been pitched, onto
the apron of the machine, to let another team
come up to the machine to unload. The mules
attached to the wagon became little shy, and
be thought they were afraid of him and stepped
back so as to be little more out of their wav,
fOrgetful of the danger of going into the cylin-
der, and unfortunately got his left foot and leg
into the machine, which had been slackened in
its motion and was running empty. From his
ankle to his knee the flesh and bones were lit
orally torn to atoms. His toes and the bottom
of his foot were but little injured. His thigh
was horribly mangefand the thigh bone bro
ken about the centera and the lower piece torn
out. His hip bone was crushed to pieces a
severe wound inflicted in the abdomen and his
LEFT side and back badly bruised. He lived
about three hours, under the most excruciating
pain and torture. This sad calamity has thrown
gloom over the whole community and brought
sadness and mourning to his family, relatives
and friends, and should be q warning to all per.
sons engagedabout thrashing machines to use
extreme caution, for Mr.. Livingston was noted
for his care about getting into danger and was
one of our most estimabie and best citizens.
May the Lord hear his dying prayer for his wife
and children, which was, "L6rd, have mercy
on my poor wife and little children"

A gentleman having occasion to go to the
city the other day, put up at one OF these
fashionable Hotels. Supposing that every,
body who paid his bill at the office was treat
ed alike, at the usual hour ne went IN 10
dine. 1t was as much as a bargain that he
even got a respectable sized piece OF roast
beef.-the most ordinary article that could
be called for. After disposing Of the beef,
with spoonful of mashed potatoes, he ex-
amined the bill of fare again, and selected
'.apple pie,' and "sponge pudding" not
that he cared anything particularly about
the pudding but simply on account of
variety


The niger in attendance, who looked
more like an angry bear with sore head,
than even Understanding at you all the
time YOU were eating, as if he could eat yoI
for presuming to be white, or something
else-returned with the mere ghost OF a
piece of pie and piece, no, it was the
mere fraction of piece of pudding, whose
entire length and breadth was, at the out
side. one and one-half inch thick, with a
tea spoon full of some kind of liquid upon
it. The gentleman says 'he remarked to
the darkey that he thought he must have
intended to stall him on that slice !; but
this only added to the savage moroseness OF
cufee. He was indignant because halt
dollar had not been quietly slipped into his
palm, and was determined, at the risk OF
the reputation of the Hotel, to starve, or at
least drive eff, all such customers from the
house in. future.


The facts are, that this was the first visit
of the gentleman to that Hotel and we
are assured, his last.


So much is the system of ''black- mailing
getting into disrepute that we see some OF
the New York Hotels advertise that ser
wants are not allowed to receive any compen-

diate dismissal.
