BALD-HEADED PEOPLE.-Frederlck
Kemp writes from the coal mines Of
Montana, giving the following in re-
ference to cure for badness. It will
be read with interest by many bold
headed person: a4
A friend of mine who had the mis-
fortune to be bald headed, knowing
that there is wonderful invigorating
! power in the SUMS rays, last Spring
threw away his hat, w0rked in the
gulch all Spring, Summer and Fall,
bareheaded, and also for the first iev,
days at midday. For few days the
rays of the hot sun on his head were
almost unbearable; after that time he
experienced no uneasiness whatever
The result was that in the Fall he had
good head of hair. And in this ex-
pertinent he was not alone-several Of
his acquantances who were bald head
ed having followed the same plan, and
they were all fortunate enough to OK
perience the same result.

Ever since the era of ADVERTISING


was inaugurated, business men If ail


classes have been made the victims of


q certain class OF men who, with flip


pant speech, and with q persistency "a


provoking US it would be admirable


in better cause, have persuaded them


to enter into their schemes. These
schemes are numerous, as many aL
advertiser can attest, and when we
weigh their influence in calm, i'm


partial manner, we shall become con-


vinced that they are sublime fraud


upon the tOO-lenient advertising pub


lie; and that the advertiser, whel


he has submitted to the imposition hos


literally thrown his money uway.

in order to get rid of him, ARE, as We
have heretofore mentioned, exceed
ingly numerous. There is the "prc-

town or city, only to he glanced at fo,
the space of second, if at all, and
then carelessly thrown away to b.
trampled under foot. This is lecid-
edly II waste Of money on the part of
the advertiser.


Then, again, we have the hotel
register scheme, hotel card-advertis-
ing scheme, and the card-rack scheme,
together with other schemes too nu
merous to mention. Now, what the
honest advertisers want, aud, indeed,
what every advertiser in the land
wants, is the greatest return for the
amount O. money invested. In order
secure this there is but .one reliable
method, and that is the newspaper,
(for which there is o demand, because
Of its WORTHY. The American people
are pre-emjnently q reading people,
and of all the literature thrown broad

newspaper pred0minates and is che

gradually being educated up to the
practice of looking into tho advertis-
ing columns of the newspaper in or
der to find where their wants can be
supplied. This being the fact, il A
patent to every sensible advertise,
that the place to display his wares If

the advertiser, in order to receive :,

Editor Dispatch:-I wish through you,
columns, to call the attention of the
public to the prevalence and extent OF
gambling in our midst. In nearly all
the large towns on this coast gambling
is strictly prohibited and can only be
carried on privately, by the utmost cir
cumspection.


Here there is hardly place Of public
resort where it is lot openly carried on
attracting hither horde of vampires
whose sole business and study is, by any
and every means, to entice and fleece
the unwary. Scores of honest. hard
working men, who occasionally come
here for rest and recreation, are regular
ly fleeced by these Sharpers of their
hard earned money, who, if gambling in
public even was prohibited would never
"hunt game.


Men having families dependent upon
them, frequently spend their last dollar
in these places, and what is still worse,
school boys attracted by curiosity find
their way into these dens and are ertic-
ed Or permitted (it matters not which)
to "just try their luck" with whatever
small pocket money tley may have and
when that was lost have even been ac-
comodated with a small loan by the gen
tlemanly (D proprietor, to enable them
to become more fully initiated into
career that is more than likely to lead
to prison Or e gallows. Such state
Of things is simply damnable.


The remedy is plain. Let all who
have the interest of our present and fu-
cure at heart, openly condemn such prac-
tices and unite in enforcing the penal
ties Of our Legislative enactments against
them, and, above all, let our City Faith
ers forbid them by Ordinance under the
heaviest penalties and gambling, If rot
suppressed entirely, will be compelled
to darkness and secrecy.

An illicit distillery has been discovered in
Monroe county, Mo-, nearly four hundred

two openings-one leading into the side

for ingress and egress; the latter as a

the distillery. The distillery is supposed to

We used to think that William Tell
was somebody, but he wasn't. The learn
ed savants of the Historical Society of
the Swiss cantons have discovered some
thing in the course of their investiga-
tions. Perhaps we should say, rather,
that they have discovered nothing where
they have been looking for William Tell.
In short, their investigations have led
them to the following conclusion:


Tell never refused to lift his hat !;
never shot an apple on his sons head,
although the very crossbow with which
the deed was done is exhibited in Zurich
he never crossed the Lake of Lucerne in
a tempest of wind and rain; he never
boldly jumped upon the Tell Platte
never spoke his speech in the defile al
Kussuachacht; and never shot the Land

The severity of the home Attachment Law

several particulars. Its operation is such thAt
it may be justly said to fall only upon that class

sued out before Justice, where seizures ale

the claim is over 800, the defendant is gener-

necessary legal measures to have the attach
ment seizure released. On the other hand,
poor persons, trusting to the justice Of the law
itself and unable to fee an attorney, are seized
upon, and sold ont under execution, by the sum
mary processes OF this infamous law.


Moreover. the law itself discriminates against
the poor debtor, in favor Of the rich one. In
order to effect release OF goods from an attach
msnt, where the claim is large-over 500
personal bail is furnished and the goods are
gwen up, until the long processes Of suit at
law are accomplished the debtor being able, in
the meantime, to sell the goods and pocket the
money. II, however, the claim is less than 800,

The plaintiff servant acted for the plaintiff

asking for and receiving hay, acted for the de-
fendant. Under all the circumstances in evil
dence there was ground to infer that the defend

No value of the manure was shown, nor is it
clear that this agreed to be the consideration

an action lay for an implied promise to pay the
value of the hay.

And the winds that wildly blow
And the brd-songs in the greenwood tree
The poet loves, l know.
For me, love the song to hear


OF the lark at the early morn;
But the sweetet sound to the farmers car
Is the song of the Dinner Horn!
A battle march to the soldier free


Or the call of the trumnet clear;
And the rapid tramp of cavalry


The soldier loves to hear
But sweet to the farmer, wearied soul!


While he plows the rustling corn,
Is the sound that comes in the noontide lull-
IT'S the song of the Dinner Horn

To hear his believe sing

When see a boy boarding up his
