The cases in which it has accomplished a complete restoration of color to tiie hair, aud vigorous health to tho scalp, are innumerable. - Old people like it for its wonderful power to restore to their whitening locks their original color and beauty. Middle-aged people like it because it prevents t'uem from getting balii, keeps daudrulf away, and makes the hc;x grow thick and strong. Young ladies like it as a dressing because it gives the hair a beautiful glossy lustre, and enables them to dress it in whatever form tliey wish.

Tbe Clevelan Herald's Washington special has ttiis to say in relation to lobbyists and the present Congress: "Rately in the polit ical history of the Capital has there been such lean pasturage for the lobby ists as this winter. An old member of the House Committee on Public Land said to-uay: 'When our committee commenced its work, the lobbyists bi an to hover around, but they soon gav it up as a bad job. They thought th proposed whisky legislation would ope up a big field for their operations. They thought there was plenty of money in it, and they laid their plans for extensive work, but they soon found they were making no bend way: Thereseem-ed to be a determination on the part of the friends of this and every other measure to steer clear of the sharks. Early in the session it was proposed to raise a large pool of money to help this whisky business, and certain lobby law-1 yers stood ready and anxious to take hold of the matter. When this became known, some of the best friends of (he bill in Congress declared that if such means were resorted to, they would turn right around and vote against it. The general disposition is to 'shake' everything that lias a scheme in it. Xothing will kill a measure quicker than for it to become known that a lobby has been organized in its interest.'"

Parvenu says she won't have any fancy lamps in her parlors, because people will think she can t afford to burn gas. New Series Vol. 22, No. 1132: The Philadelphia Times says; The decision of the Supreme Court in the atest legal tender case takes a very much broader ground than the Court as taken before in thje consideration of the same question. The difference is uch as to suggest the thought that the Court has been compelled to change its round in order to adapt its previous opinion to the different circumstances ndcr which the question was again resented to it. In doing so it has made most significant departure from the ine ot constitutional interpretation hitherto adhered to. The Supreme Court decided flatly in SCO that an act making mere promises to pa3' dollars a legal tender in payment of debts previously contracted was inconsistent with the constitution. A year later, the Court having been en larged, this decision was in part over- uled, substantially on the ground that the issue of such notes was, at the time n question, "necessary and proper for arrying into execution the powers estcd by the constitution in the gov ernment of the United States" a decision generally regarded as a straining of the law to meet an actual condition of things which it would be perilous to overturn. The new decision not only reaffirms this view as concerns what are commonly understood as "warpow ers," but recognizes the power to issue :md to reissue notes and make tbem a legal tender in payment of private debts, as one of the powers inherent in the legislature of a sovereign nation, the propriety of the exercise of this power, at any time, being a political question to be determined by Congress. It will be observed that this is a much stronger expression of the powers of Congress than was 'embodied in either of the former decisions and that it re tains few traces of that strict construc tion of the delegated powers of Con gress, which, up to 1871, had governed the whole course of Federal law as maintained by the Supreme Court. The practical results of the decision are likely to be remote rather than imme diate, but from any point of view economical or political it is important and it will challenge the attention of all students ot our political system.

SIGHTS, IN HONG KONG. Fi-islitful JMs.slpation of the British Sailors---Xever-Ceasing Revelry. Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat. One of the fii-3t thinsrsl noticed utjon landing in Hong Kong was the dissi pation which is always going on. At first I thought some celebration must be in progress, but upon making inquiries 1 was assured that this was not the case. "It is, always so," said an American citizen. "Every day a certain number of sailors are allowed to come on shore, and they avail themselves fully of this privilege. As there are some two thousand of these sailors at present on board of the men-of-war in Hong Kong harbor, this city is quite lively most of the time. It is the men aboard these war-ships who get the wildest, for the enforced idleness of their life breeds recklessness when they once get ashore." These sailors are beardless young fellows for the most part, and though they have a swaggering and tyrannical mien, I should not think that they would impress the Chinese as very formidable. Walking about the streets last evening in company with a citizen I saw literally hundreds of these sailors, crowding the saloons so thick that you could not see the counter. Outside the saloon the street .would be packed with rickishas, for a sailor gravitates toward a rickisha the first thing upon coming ashore. He does not have to gravitate far, for the Chinese runners almost attempt the perilous feat of walking on the water in their eagerness to meet the sailors half way. Soon after landing the sailors gravitate toward a saloon, and, numbers breeding reckless jollity, it is not long before they cease to be free moral "agents. Then they curse and beat their rickisha men, and ride about with scarcely any cognizance of whither they are being carried. As I have already intimated, I am implacably opposed to the Chinese; yet my indignation to kind'.ed in their behalf at first when I witnessed the bi-ntality with which they are treated by these sailors. But my commiseration was all dissipated when my friend said : "Don't pry them. John Chinaman is under now, but he will be on top pretty soon. Wait till the sailors get stupidly drunk, and they will be ig-nomiouly dumped out by the wayside, while these long suii'ering 'heathen Chinese' will proceed complacently to ;;o through their pockets. Don t mis piace your pity." "Don't the English make any effort to cheek this evu ? "O no, it is so common they - don't care to interfere. Once in a while when a man gets to mashing things too generally and endangering peopleV lives, he will be locked u; untd he get.-sober. Put so long as they onlv injur. Ihoiiiselves, no matter if they do break ili3 peace, nothing is done about :t. I notice thr.t very frequently, almost always, the sailors will give the order "Go to tho temperance hall," when they are well under "the influence," and there sleep o'S their booze, liy the way, curious though the statement may seem, the manager of the Hong Kong institution is getting to be a con firmed sot. He has been inebriated now for a full week. The moral sentiment that will tolerate such a thing puzzles me. Despite all the abuses to which they are subjected, however, these temper ance halls of the Orient are institutions, and really do a great deal of good. They mav be found m bhanghai, Hong Koag, Singapore, Madras, Bom bay, Calcutta, lokouama, Kobe, and, for aught I know, in all the cities of the far east. .

Cincinnati Times-Star. The other dav I met an old ballad singer who was still devoted to his profession, though he had followed it for years without achieving much more wealth than was required for the day's sustenance. I observed that music of the simpler kind was not as much ap preciated now as in years gone by when the custom of the people was plainer. and their know ledge of music less cul tivated. The man is now a scene shifter at one of our theatres. "Music is the only thing you can ketch a mob with," said the old singer, as lie planted his patent leathers on a box, ad shifted the position of his Henry Clay cigar. A hat kind of music asked a by stander. Why, ballads, of course," replied the man of song. "Ton don't suppose you're a-goin' to soften anybody's heart with a opperer, do you ? I'd have been fired through a drug store winder wunst if it wasn t that 1 was able to sing. "What did you sing?" "The most beautiful of all songs: 'Don't Tread on a Man When He's Down.' Here's a Verse of it : " 'Don't tread on a man when he's down, For the world looks black, enough then, Jnst (five him a smile not a frown And let him begin life again.' "Now, there's sentiment in that, and it stopped the fight right off." , "What songs are most popular?" "Well, that's hard to say. Some likes one thing and some likes another. Mothers always like this : " 'I wish I was a baby, A darling little flower, I'd smile at winter srowflakes And laugh at summer shower.' "The words is simple, and it ain't hard to wrestle with the tune ; but it's wery touchin', wery tonehin'. It's so true to life, you know, and that's what th' people wants. But that sort of thing is all right enough for a flyer. It wont do to give it to em all the tune, you know, borne people don t know nothin about babies, and you ve got to give them plenty of love. I never saw the man yet you couldn't get the upper hand of with a good love song, and as for the girls, you can t give em enough. It's human nature, you know, - for they've all been there, and them as hasn t is Wiliin to be. Mere s a dandy. I always got to sing it twice." . The old ballad singer threw out hia chest, and, in a voice that had evi dently seen better days, piped the fol lowing : "You call me sweet and tender names, And softly smooth my tresses, And all the while my happy heart Beats time to your caresses. You love men in your tender way, I answer as you let me. But, ah ! there comes another day, The. day when you'll forget me.' - l ve seen tn nanclKercmets co. e out every time I ever sung that song, said the old balladist, its lie wiped a silent tear from the corner of his eve. "It's saddenin', wery saddenin', to think of them old songs. Here's an other : " 'Little sweetheart, come and kiss me Just once more before I go; Tell me truly that you miss me As I wander to and fro.' "That there, you see, is a sort of descriptive song. First he wants his girl to kiss him, and then, when he wanders to and fro, he wants her to miss him. "But why does he wander to and fro? asked the scene shifter. "Why, that's a poetic license, of course," growled the old balladist. "You want the man to stand there a kissin' and a slobberin' all the time, do you? He's got to go away som'ers and wander. Folks like the idea of lovers separatin' and comin' together again. It works on the feelin's sorter. I tell youpard.if a man can sing a good song he'll get through the world and land on his feet on the other side. Bein' president of the United States Mexican Girls. From a Letter From Mexico. The rich are so very rich that they have no ambition; the poor so desperately poor that they have no hope, to speak of. The daughters of the wealthy pass their lives in vacuity; those of"the poor are so pooily fed and dressed that they neorly all look hunger-bitten and ill-developed. There are no lyceums, debating clubs, dramatic associations, public lectures, pic nics, pr any athletic sports in which the women can join. They are as completely without good shape as any set of women I ever saw. I doubt if there are a dozen good forms in this city, and as to the legs and feet Aoollo, bless us ! the stockings of an average Hoosier girl would go wice around for a Chihuahua belle. A resident physician tells me that the health ot the Higher class women is wretchedly poor. Very few of them can nurse their own children. They usually marry at from fifteen to seven een and are careworn at twenty-five. This physician attempted to introduce bicycles, but the young ladies had neither strength to manage nor per sistence to master them. A few ham- mot ks were sold here, but the feeble things nearly broke their necks in get ting out of them. A really plump, vigorous, healthy woman ot the wealthy classes is a rarity, though many of them have a sort of languid beauty. Ponder these things in your heart, and the next time you see a "beautiful senonta swinging in vol uptuous languor (on the top of a cigar box) in a gorgeous hammock, with delicate wreathes of smoke circlirg from her pretty rose-bud hps, 3'ou will know her for the printed humbug she is. As to real beauty, that which sat isfies the heart of the natural man, I can find you more of it in one class of Indiana high school girls than in the whole btate ot Chihuahua it this city is a fair specimen. Competition with -India in wheat raising seems rather discouraging when-it is understood that the natives work in harvest at I4i6c per day. The average price of wheat in En gland and Wales tor the last twenty vears was 50s by2a; but tor the last eight years it was only 46s 7d, or about $1.40 per Dusnei.. There is no end of wisdom in this remark of somebody : "The most common error of men and women is that of looking for happiness some. where outside of useful work. More over, it is quite as true of women as of men. Among the honest industries where by soul and body are kept together in Europe is that of finding rich Amen can wives for titled paupers.

It was the culmination of the even ing when Nilsson entered the Presidential presence (escorted by an army officer of distinguished bearing), dressed ia a queenly robe of pale gold brocade, slashed with light blue and silver, her majestic, squaie shoulders bare, her arms also; and her neck encircled with a triple strand of large pearls, still larger ones daintily poised from her ears, and wearing from her . superb and swelling bosom glittering trophies of honor Irom roonarchs at whose courts 6he has sung. With a low and stately" courtesy she saluted the citizen sovereign of the great American people. I doubt not it was one of the proudest moments of her radiant life.

Wade Hampton, she sat at the President's left. Women Sea Captains. From Harper's Weekly. - Mrs. Mary A. Miller is not the first woman who has served successfully as mistress of a ship. Mrs. Cant. Patten, of Bath, Me., who while her husband was lyiDg ill in his birth navigated his ship around Cape Horn and up to San Francisco, although his timid first of-fiicer wanted to stop at Valparaiso for assistance ; of Mrs. Captain Abbie Chfiord, who after her husband had been washed overboard brought the vessel safe into New York "Harbor from below the equator; of Mrs. Capt. Reed, of the Oakland, of Brunswick, Me., who was a practical navigator of celebrity, and of Miss Jenet Thorns, who often used to navigate her father's ship, who is now teaching a school of navigation in this city, and who was in part the author of "Thorn's Navi-gator," a book of authority among mariners. These cases are all of recent date. To them the Leavenworth (Kas.) Times a'dds the case of Mrs. Capt. John Oliver Norton, of Edgar-town, Mass. Her husband commdnded a whaling vessel, and she frtquer.tly went with him into the Arctic waters. On one cf these expeditions all ot the boats were out, leaving on board the , captain and just enough of the crew to manage the vessel. A whale was noticed off to the starboard, and the captain and men wergfpuzzled how to get it. It was the woman who solved the problem and settled the fate of his whaleship. Going to the wheel she prevailed upon her husband to leave the ship m her charge, with two disa bled men, while he and his men went after the whale. He did so. Tlie woman managed the ship all day until nightfall, when the boats returned, that in command of hef husband- having captured the biggest whale ever seen in those waters. When the ship put in home the New Bedford owners made the "woman commander" a handsome present. Depression in Wheat. A correspondent of the New York Sun gives the following as the greatest cause of the depression in the price of American wheat : Years ago thinking men prophesied that when India was supplied with railroads on which to transport her products, she would compete keenly with the United States for the privilege of supplying the English with bread-stuffs. They further said that in the inevitable contest to be waged between the Indian and American wheat-growers, the former would be victorious, and that the wheat produced by the poorly paid, poverty-stricken laborers of India would d-i e American wheat from the English ports, and probably bar it out of European markets. The depression now brooding heavily over bur whtat market is due to the fact that India is exporting wheat to England in large quantities. Competent English authorities have estimated that 50,000,-000 bushels of Indian wheat of tbe crop of 1883 has been marketed in England, or soon will be. It is confidently asserted by the same authorities that the quantity produced by India will' annually increase, and that the export will increase as the production does, until, in the near future, England, in years of average Indian crops, will draw her ceeded supply entirely from India, instead of from the United States. Under no conceivable circumstances can cur faim ers successfully comre'e with the Indian wheat growers in supplying the markets of Europe. Whether they can hold the markets now afforded them by the manufacturirg at d At lactic sesboard States of our own country is a question that will b solved in the future. rAEAGKAPHS.
