Adorn and beautify the head is the great, desideratum of all polite female soo‘«-
|MM| ' ef a long and luxurlan,
an alabaster neck. Many
becomes so short and thiu
that they can’t support curls,"nor a “cluD.’ tvthbut the aid of “dead hair,” at an
enormous expense, and shorn perhaps from some diseased scalp. We will tell
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; how to give 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 dressings you ever used.

One of the boldest and most daring
bank robberies that ever occurred,hap-penell
here to-dajr, and I send partic-ulars
for publication.
About 10 o’clock this morning, three
men entered the bank of H. R. Mas-tern'&
Co. and one of them requested
the Cashier, who with the book-keeper,
were the only Ones present, to change
j * $50 bill. He unlocked the safe to
i do so, and while registering the num-
[ her of the bill two of the men jumped
' over the railing, and presented six-shooters
at the heads of the cashier
i and book keeper, while the third man
i calmly closed and locked the front
door and rifled the safe of its contents
—about $6000, and after placing the
money in his pocket, proceeded to un-load
14 of Sharps’ needle carbines,
which belonged to the Comanche
Home Guards, and put the cartridges
in his belt. They then told their pris-
' oners to go with them and took them
to their horses, which were hitched
about 100 yards back of the bank.
After mounting their horsejs, one of
, them said to the cashier, “Charge this
' to John Hardin, and the next time we
come we will burn the damn town.’’
They then gave a whoop and a yell
and left town in a full galop.
As soon as the bauk clerks were re-leased
they gave the alarm, aud a party
started in pursuit, but failed to catch
the robbers.
The bold thieves are known as Joe
Harney, n noted desperado, whose
range is the border counties; Nick
Wort hingbam, a celebrated horse-thief,
who was mounted on a |1700 stolen
horse, and Tom Oglesby, who murder-ed
Brownly in Fort Griffin aboilt one
month ago.
A .reward of $1006 is offered for
tbeir capture. R. T. Hill.

goes down to the depot and steps

right town bounds off and pays a
visit to some family friend of his
master. He never makes a mistake
about the town or the train, and is
such a fine, intelligent fellow, he
always meets with a welcome. He
usually spends two or three days on
his trips, and no doubt picks up con-siderable

Russell, Mr. Gallatin, and Mr. Ad'

“whistle ‘Yankee. Doodle’ fpr this

ship Caravan, commanded by Captain |Walf-taver,
left the Waterloo Dock, at this place,

when a scene of great violence occurred on
board. The captain states that tljc| crew'
who shipped, just before the departure of
the ship, were all drunk; as soon as the’
Caravar got out intotho river, the crew who
hod been ordered to duty became insubordi-nate,
and threatened to kill himself as wel
as the other officers. He therefore signalled
to the river police, who promptly bqardcd
the Caravan and took two of the ringleaders
into custody. The remainder of the; crew
were lying drunk about the deck, qne of
whom was very seriously injure . during the
riot. The Caravan was detained in onder to
ship a fresh crew.

[From the Methodist.]
“Thou shalt not steal” seems to
be thO troublesome part of the dec-alogue
for a large portion of our
peopleand the offerees against
this commandment seems to be ac-quiring
that semi-tolerant reception
which, in a more marked way, at-tends
unchastity in the Latin nations.
This is a tendency, only a tendency
to be resisted, resistance to which is
one of the important duties of the
American pulpit. The Indian is
robbed ; the cities are robbed ; the
national government is robbed.
There is a startling statement as-cribed
to official authority that it
would cost $75,000 to prepare a list
of official defalcations and shortages
within the last seven years. There
is something staggering in the
statement. We have altogether
too many well-behaved thieves,
in honest clothes, and under Chris-tian
professions. Our thought is
that the public education needs to
be attended to. Morals should be
given prominence in the education
of the young, prominence in the in-struction
given by the pulpit and
the press. We must also learn how
to condemn effectively the dislion-est
man, how to taboo him with the
relentless severity which we visit
upon offenders against chastity.
Upon the churches must fall the
greater share of the task of resist-ing
this tendency and preventing
its passing on into confirmed hab-its.
Constant Carb Expels Fear.— It re-quires
no old proverb to tell us that “am
ounce of prevention is better than a pound
of cure,” and the man who, living in this
climate, runs the daily risk of malarial dis-order
from the sheer neglect of taking a
pleasant and preventive stimulant, is not
wise. Such a tonic is the celebrated Home
Stomach Bitters, compounded with scientific
care, from the rarest aromatic roots, harks
and herbs, and embracing all the latest dis-coveries
In botanical pharmacy,—cleansing
the blood, stimulating tlie digestive organs,
increasing the formation of gastric juices,
and thoroughly arousing the system against
the inroads of contagious disorders. Rec-ommended
by leading members of the fac-ultv,
these bitters have attained a popularity
which nothing but real merit could secure ;
and to our farmer friends, living remote
from town, we would cordially recommend
them as one of the most useful things they
can have in the house.

The Laclede still maintains its strong bold

in St. Louis. Mr. Malta, the proprietor,
is a prince of a “Mine Host,” and his clerks
in not of the “stuck-up” sort. Guests are
treated with the utmost civility, and are
made to feel that the Laclede, for the time,
is their home. Of course, under such a
management, the table and also the rooms

Imprisonment for Debt.
The grand jury at Jacksonville,
Florida, makes the following dis-
Closures : “We find that there are
three prisoners in the jail who have
been there nearly two years for the
pitiful sum of $10 and costs each.
These prisoners have cost the conn-ty
nearly $900. We recommend
that the County Commissioners pay
the fines, release the prisoners, and
thereby save money for the coun-ty.”
The captain of a N ah ant boat
has a fine curly dog, which never
misses making a trip with his mas-ter
lflie can mjlp if. He likes the
bustle And Utile excilement of get-ting
under way and going on shore
again as well as old sailors love the
sea. He is quite sociable, and well
acquainted with the regular passen-gers.
They know his peculiarities
and he knows some of theirs. If he
does not regularly “beg,” he iB still
sharp, enough to “haug around”
thoseiWko are .rather liberally dis-posed.
He generally gets his pen-ny
or five cent piece, and then off
he bounds to the refreshment table
and lays it out in cake as orderly as
a boy. He would scorn to eat it
off the door like a dog which had
never been taught good mannei’s.
He hunts up his master and puts
the cake in his hand, aud then
stands by decorously and eats it,
piece by piece, as it is broken off
