Adorn and beautify the head is the great desideratum of all polite female soc'v-ty,
and yet no art can equal the magnificent beauty of a long and luxuriant
grow th of silken tresses gracefully entwined around an alabaster neck. Many
ladies’ hair falls out so rapidly at each combing, and becomes so short and thin
that they can’t support curls, nor a “club. ’ wthout the aid of “dead hair, ’at an
enormous expense, and shorn perhaps from some diseased scalp. We will toll
you how to stop your hair from falling out at once; how to make it grow long
and rapidly; how to cleanse your scalp from, all dandruff; liow to gyve your hail
a beautiful, glossy appearance without the use of oil, greese or anything poison-ous
or the least injurious; but on the contrary, it cools the head, and is one of
the most delightfully perfumed hair dressing!- you ever used.
Money and we will do all the above, under contract, or make no charge. Gentle
men who have been so unfortunate as to lose Iheir hair and become bald-headed
can by the use of the same article, create a growth of new hair all over the bald
spot; or in other words, we propose to coyer over all bald heads with their own
hair, under contract, or no charge made. It will also giye a new growth to whiskers
and moustache, and imparts life, beauty and elegance to the hair and whiskers.
This article acts directly upon the hair follicles and bulbs, penetrating, stimu-lating
and arousing their dormant energies lo action, thus imparting a new life
and new growth to the hair germs.
Many persons are ready to cry “humbug” but gentlemen, you can have your
Own Hair,
or no charge will be made. This trly wonderful prepartion caused hair to
grow six feet mlength on the head of a Kentucky iady, who had been bald-headed
it Inis restored hair to the heads those who have been bald from 10 to 25 years.
A pamphlet tilled with positive and unmistakable proof from Doctors, Ministers,
Editors,{Druggists, &e., sent free to any address; and we will give One Thousand
Dollars to anv one who will prove that any of our certificates are “bogus,’ if
does not change the coi.v of the liair, hence is harmless and fret- from any poison.
The wonderful art hit jlluded to is known as Dr. J. Newton Smith’s Hair Res-torative.
Price, $1 00, 3 bottles for $2 50, or $8 00 per dozen to dealers, ex-pressed
on receipt of r Manv persons are ordering one bottle to be sent
from live hundred to o e ,. ousaud miles, while the freight will be no more on
three or half-a-dozen bott les, than on one. One bottle for baldness is not a fa r
trial. First satisfy yourseif lhat we are not humbugging you, then call on yorr
druggist, or order a fair gui ply direct from us. Send for the proof, then go lo
work business-like. * ci -; not be mailed. Address

First Madhar bahib squatted
down before the Prince of Wales,
says Dr. Russell in the London
Times, and put down a small basket
on the carpet about the size of
those in which a lady would carry
Berlin -wool. It was empty, of
course. Madha Sahib was almost
undressed—his arms were quite
bare. He turned his basket down
and chatted at it, then turned it
over, and lo! there was an egg on
the carpet, which was handed round
to be looked at. Then he put the
basket over the egg and chatted at
it again, turned it over, and lo ! out
walked a pretty pigeon, so tame
that it let itself be caught by hand.
Next Madhar produced another egg
from beneath the basket, and then
placed it under the basket—any one
could see that tiie latter was a thin,
frail composition, without cover or
false bottom. Then, after incanta-tions,
he raised the basket and out
strutted tbe first pigeon, and anoth-er
exactly like it, and went pouting
over to the spectators. Other things
did Madhar Sahib, but none so
striking, for peas under a thimble
have before now exercised the finest
intellects and baffled the greatest
intelligence in England. Poolee,
who come next, I think, was a per-former
of extraordinary merit. Af-ter
some tricks of no great novelty,
but executed with much neatness,he
converted himself into a magazine
of horrors ; to live scorpions,
which he handled with impunity,
out of his mouth; spat out stones as
large as plums one after the other,
or showed them between his lips
and swallowed them ; then evolved
from depths unknown a carpenter’s
shop, full of nails, large and small,
and coils of string, till there was a
pile of his products before the
Prince.

Farmer, the Quincy bank robber,
died Tuesday night of consumption.
He maintained the truth of his story
and gave the name of his accompli-ces,
llilsev, a thief of Syracuse,New
York, English Tom, a cockney
burglar, and a man, name unknown,
at present in St. Louis hospital with
a bullet wound in his thigh. He
tried to tell of a diamond robbery
in St. Joseph, Missouri, in March of
1875, but died before the particulars
were given. He said §20,000 in
diamonds and jewelry were buried
on tbe Iron Mountain Railroad, near
Boonville, Missouri, Proper ef-forts
will be made to ferret the
matter out.

when she got into the car. He saw
at once the lair-haired, red-lipped
damsel who looked at him with such
sweet expectancy in her great
brown eyes. He rose to gracefully
wave her into his seat, when vine
gar-Dice slipped quietly into it.
“Why, look here, my good woman,’
said John, “it was this lady I was
giving my place to.” “I pays my

of her heavy jaws, “and I guess as

membership of about forty. We are,
I guess, doing as well as could be ex-pected,
yet we don’t seem to be
thoroughly alive to the "reat work be-fore

Cotton Statement.
The Milwaukee Commercial Times,
of Jan. 20, contains this astonishing
statement: “Mr. Cliff Wilson exhibit
ed at the Commercial Times this morn-ing
a rare curiosity. It was the skull
of an Aztec, lately found in Waukesha.
Evidence is adduced; proving beyond
the shadow of a reasonable doubt,that
the former inhabitants of our western
suburb were of that singular race
whose labors exist only in Arizona.
The most singular thing about the
skull was a glass eye which yet re-mains
firm in ihe socket, whichgoes to
show that the former inhabitants of
Waukesha were cultivated and en-lightened
people. The attention of
Dr. Wight and savans is called to this
singular specimen. Mr. Thurston
should present this rare specimen to
the Natural History Society.” An in-teresting
question for the gentlemen
will be how the eye came to be re-tained
so firmly in the skull after the
flesh had decayed and left it. Or did
our Aztec friend get his glass eye
when a boy, and his skull grow around
t, as we sometimes see a tree grow
around a rock or other foreign sub-lance
