1t is said that the steam SAND, Jet has
been applied to wood-engraving, the
decoration of marble, and the cleaning
of brass castings. To engrave upon
wood with the sand blast, it is necessary
to photograph the object to be repro
duced upon the prepared surface of the
block, and this being exposed to the
blast with certain precautions, is en-.
grayed in few minutes. 1t is stated
that specimen engravings are soon TO
to be published, which will afford the
public an opportunity of comparing the
work done by the sandjet with hand.
work If the claims of those interested
in the process are well founded, the in
PRODUCTION of the new system will great
ly reduce the cost of wood.engraving,
and perhaps compel our engravers to
take more pains with their work. The
process cannot compete with hand work
in certain directions, and while it may
at first glance threaten to encroach
upon the interests of engravers, it will
very likely prove to be to their advan
tage in the end.

An incident occurred on San Fran
cisco horse railroad, recently. An ell
derly and very portly lady passenger
signaled for the car to stop at certain
street, but of course the rear platform
went little beyond the dry crossing.
The old lady growled a great deal, and
the conductor stepped off the car and
offered his hands to guide her to the
crossing, when, forgetting her exceed
ing weight, she sank bodily into his
ou.stretched arms, and, as a conse,
quence, the conductor sat quietly down
in the mud, and the passenger fell over
his head. He swore and she stormed
and the other passengers laughed, but
being behind time, the conductor was
obliged to go on his way, leaving the
old lady trying to wipe the mud off her
clothes with a seven inch square hand
kerchief.

The Chicago and Alton Railroad,
with its customary enterprise, has pro-
vided new car for the express accom-
mediation of the cattle dealers and
drovers who ship eastward over its line.
1t is the stock dealers sleeping coach,
and is one of the biggest things" out.
These cars are considerably longer than
the common freight car or caboose, and
are fitted up with comfortable hunks,
wash stands, cushioned seats, ETC., etc.
The hunks can be "turned up during
the day, and can be used for dining
reading and for all other purposes to
which an ordinary car is applicable.
These cars are most comfortably fitted
up with everything necessary to add to
the comfort of the occupants, and are
placed on each cattle train destined for
the great Eastern markets. They are
the best improvement ever made upon
our Western roads, and the cattle
dealer who starts upon his long and
toilsome journey from here to New
York can not fail to appreciate and en-
10Y them.

TALK AT THE ToILET.-Every ladys maid
knows that the bewitching beings who pave
their triumphant way with conquered hearts,
regard a splendid head of hair the most effec-
tive of all womanly fascinations. They believe,
and they are right, that they can Iasso as many,
beaux with the luxuriant ringlets and glossy
braids as they can skill at sight with their
beaming eyes. Hence in their ''toilet talk
among themselves and with their attendants
the merits of preparations for the hair are free
ly ycanvassed, and the latest result of this dis
cussion seems to be the almost universal adop-
ton of LYoN's KATHAIRoN as an article better
adapted to promote the growth and be-uty of
the ''Chef Glory of Woman than any other
at present before the world. They say without
irritating the skin of the head it eradicates
dandruff, and that it penetrates below the sur
face to the roots of the hair endowing them
with new life and vigor. m27-eodlwSsw1t

WE have received from a good friend
in Virginia the following further illustra-
tion of the extent to which the insensi-
bility of criminals is carried:


While still very young man, on account
of his uncommon ability and legal acquire
ments, Mr. Richard Coleman was made
Judge of one of the eastern circuits of
Virginia in the year 1S-. Having hith-
erto led the life of a student and scholar
he had ne extended reputation except
among his brethren, and as connected
with the profession, and had never been
in politics. Shortly after he went upon the
bench most cold-blooded and cruel muir
der was perpetrated in his district by a
very notoriously bad man. The muir
derer was apprehended, tried, and con-
victed of murder in the first degree. Judge
G. proceeded to pronounce the sentence,
the first he had ever had to, which he had
prepared with great care, and, as he himself
said, the best of which he was capable,
and which he had afterward, in similar
sentences, been obliged to make the basis
of them all. Such was the solemnity of
the occasion and the fervi6 eloquence of
the Judge, that all who listened
to the sentence passed were moved
to tears-all except the prisoner
at the bar, who was observed to be
looking at the ceiling, and to pay no at
tention whatever, appearing wholly in
different to what was going on. After he
had been remanded to jail, one of the
Junior members of the bar having his Gu
riosity excited, and Judge c. also wish
ing to know what effect his eloquence had
upon the criminal, went into the cell
where the prisoner was and inquired of
him how he felt when Judge c. was pass
ing sentence on him. ''What?n said the
criminal, "what do you meant" "I
mean when the judge was telling you that
you were to be hung and urging you to
prepare for the awful doom that awaited
you" You mean when he was talking
to me." Yes" "Oh, / never paid no

the evening being cold. When she
reached her dwelling the coiffure was not

whose hair was the same color as her own
rather peculiar hue-and was satisfied

every week in order to ascertain if any
are ripe, approaching ripeness, or show

may be used when in proper condition, or
removed if decaying, when allowed to be-
