We were All traveling with papa in theTyrol, v.-hena telegram summoning him to Vier.na to the bedside of a dying friend came to interrupt ourplans. He installed Letty and me in a comfortable room in the iiv?e new hotel at Toblach, give us his blepsing, a double allowance of poeket money, and left us, with Ftrict injunctions to stay quietly at home tili his return, as he did not approve cf his <?an'ihtei 3 traveling about alone in a ftoeigu country. Latty nnd f-nmupod ourselves very well for the first few days, driving over the picturesque roads and through parts of- the beautiful Ampezzo valley. We gathered gentian and mountain strawberries, and lost our way in the big wilderness of garden at the back;of the hotel; filled our presse botaulque with handfuls of floral treasures, and then began to weary a little of our strictly rarai pleasures. We wore tho only Americans in the hotel, and we fonnd few congenial friends among the host of strangers arriving and .departing every day. "We had read all our books, written all our letters, and wero feeling very moped?it was a rainy day, dull and unpromising?when Letty spelled out. from the German newspaper the following announcement: "Her majesty the queen of Italy, on her way to Lirnz, intends to honor Sachseriburg with a brief sojourn arriving on the 13th. The people of Sachrenburg aro preparing for a. grand fete to honor h^r inajosty." " Sae!i?eriburg. that is not very far from he re, on tho railroad," said Letty. "Oh, Helen, let us go! Queen Margherita is so very lovely, and we may never have tho chance of sseing her again, and tue fete, too, will be well worth seeing. The town will be one great bower of flowers, and all the peasants will appear in their best holiday costume. Do say you will go, Letty?it's so dull here." ' But have you forgotten that papa asked us to stay quietly here, and not go roaming about without him?" I said, gravely. "Oh, yon dear, conscientious old procso? it is not traveling to go to Sacbsenburg to see the qneen." " Sachsenburg is a ten hours'journey from here, ami wo should have to be ?way for three days at least to make the trip worth while." " So ninch the better; I am frightfully tired c f this place, and papa's return is delayed for another week.'' But I n^ed not repeat our discussion further. Letty carried the day in this instance as in most oihers, and I?her < staid, elder sister, her senior by ten years, and her nominal mentor and guardian? meekly gave in to her wishes. Equipped with light hand-luggage, umbrellas and shawls, we set off in the omnibus the next day, with many injunctions from onr Wirth to inquire carefully the hours of arrival and departure cf the trains, as the time-tables were often inaccurate in this part of the world. Our only fellow-traveler in the railway carriage was a gentleman apparently about thirty, with pleasuot brown eyes, a straight, slender nose, and an j > > i t- -t 3 i? 3: ! lnutiSCTiUiiUitJ uir ui :w^u"L'lcculu6 | about him from the slender toe of his | boot to the closely trimmc-d hair beneath ! his soft traveling cap. He looked often at Letty; not impertinently, but as any well-bred man looks at a pretty f;irl sitting opposite him on a long jonrney. Letty, with her violet eyes darkening at times almost to black, her delicate color like an alabaster lamp wth a rosy flame within, and her charmingly graceful figure, made excuscblo more obtrusive admiration than this man's. Animation and pleasure at o :r trip made her donbiy attractive, and I could not blame the brown eyes opposite for often wanderng to her pretty face. I did'not like to seem stiff ; so presently I spoke to the stranger^ who had been attentive about stowing away our luggage a^id screening us from the brilliant sun. He answered pleasantly, in a low, musical voice tlia*. I liked, and we were soon all three chatting together over our various experiences of the summer. Ho proved to be an Englishman, and, the name ene,raved upon the card which he presented me in the course of con versation was itoroney juoraaunt, ot Mordaant Hall, Surrey. His destination was further than ours; and at Reich thai, where wo were to change carriages fur Sachsenburg, wo must separate. Letty seemed to share heartily ray approval of bar traveling-companion, and I almost wi-shed she would not smile upon him so confidingly, nor be- j witch him with her bright, half-saucy speeches, for ho was a stranger, after all, aud might prove unworthy of our trust' t . Gradually I began to think myself a very poor chaperon for my pretty little eister, and 1 tried to look fierce and forbidding, but it was no use, and my furlivo plucks and nud^os at Letty wero quite ineffectual. When I flatt red ray-elf 1 was looking awfully 1 grim, she actually put out her pretty pmK paim iur, juoruauni 8 request to ha^ her fortune read. Tee lime sped very quickly, and shortly before our arrival at R?ichthal, our corupanion bewail to tell us some amusing stones of his life in the Indian jungle. He showed ub a curious little whistle that had often served him to signal his lost, companions, which had a curious shrill, bird-like tone, unlike anything of the kind we had heard before. As L^tty was returning Mr. Mordauut the whistle?a pretty little silver toy that she much admired?ho said : "Plo se keep it., Miss Weir, as a souvenir of one more idler whom fate has thrown in your way. Imagine that ifc is charmed, and if you aro in distress a note from the whistlo would bring me to the rescue?if I am worthy that honor?as Oberon flew to the assistance of Huon." Letty CDuld not refuse the little gift bo gracefully tendered, and her evident i pleasure iu u seemed to reward Mr. Mordaunt three-fold. At about 11 o'clock at night I heard the guard call cut " Reichtbal !*' with great regret, for here wo must lose our amusing companion, and I could see plainly that the ploa-antest part of the jonnifv was ovrr for him. At Reichtbal we made an unwelcome discovery; we had missed connection with the Sachsenburg train, and to reach our destination we wouid have to wait till 5 o'clock in the morning of the next day. " What will you clG in the meantime?" asked Mr. Mordaunt. "I have ten annates before my train goes; if I could be o: any service to you about engsglng a room at the hotel, or in any other way, I should be most happv." "I think, Helen, it would be better not to go to a hotel," said Letty; "we should never wake up for tbe 5 o'clock train it we went to bed, and we can't waste so much time waiting for the next traic. " Ye?," I answered, "wo could get Rome rdrcabmcnts here and spend the remainder of ti:o night in the waitingroom? is is not quite live hours." Our funds would not adesit of much extravagance on tbe trip, as the allowance papa had given us had dwindled during his prolonged absence, and 11 was glad of Lattv's economical suggestion.' Somethiog in Mr. Mordannt's manner gave the idea that Jie did nob approve quite of onr plan, bnt lie was to'o polite to say anything against it. He oidered a waiter to attend us, inquired if we would bo allowed to pass the night in the waiting-rooiu, brought us a favorable answer, and then, as the loco motive whistled sharply, ho reluctantly took his lenve, an<J disappeared n the darkness. "I wish he had staid with us?it is so lonely iu this strange place," said Letty, with a little shiver. "Nonsense, child! It would liavo been obtrusive and indelicate of him to give us so much of his society ; we never saw him before to day, and why should he alter his plans for us?" I spoke boldly?but I, too, felt deserted and forlorn iu the little railway cofi'ee room; a language I but indifferently understood beiug spoken about me -not a familiar face to bo seen but Letty"s frightened one, and midnight ju?u past* We wero the only women in the place, and I did not fancy the look of the men hovering about. Some wore playing cards in a comer, and others sat silently over tall glasses of beer, giving us furtive glances which I tried to ignore. " Letty, you ought cot to wear that ring on a journey, or, if you will wear it, you ought to keep your elovo on; it is very tempting to a thief,'' I tail, nervously, as the light caught Laity's diamond?papa's present on her biithday?while she put back her veil, and made my eyes ache with it3 sparkle. 1 At that moment I saw tbe uerlv. dark face of a man close against the window pane outside watching us intently. He turned away quickly as he saw me looking at him, but I had time to rote his heavy, rough beard, unkempt hair and coarse big throat. The horrible thought seized me that he had seen Lettv's ring, and would try to rob us. I said nothing to my , sister of my fears, but felt intensely relieved when the porter appeared with a lantern to escort us to the waitingroom. He informed us that we would have the room quite to ourselves, but that we must consent t'"> bo locked in. It was the strict rule that the doer be locked after the departure of the last night train, and according to the re&u I Hi ! U LI5> IJ Ub UIH'rtca ! *.? sprud the nij^ht ?n the premises; he had only made au exception in our favor. Furthermore, wo must make up onr minds to dispense with a light, as every ono went away but the guard, and the place must be left in darkness. This was appalling, to be locked up for four hours in a pitch-dark room; but. there was apparently no other alternative. At last, by a judicious fee, I prevailed upon the man to allow us to bolt one door on the insido, so that we would not feel quite iu durance vile. The clock struck, and the porter, hurrying us into the dreary little den, went away with his light before we coy id gt?t more than a glimpse of our burioundings. "It is a consolation ti3 knew that the eruard is on duty outside," I said, trviog to stifle a sigh. ' Perhaps we are not alone in this dreadful place, after ail," said Letty, stumbling over a chair; "and someone may jump at us cut of the darkness." % At this cheerful suggestion I bethought me cf some wux matches in my satchel, and lighted one, shielding its flame as well as I could from observa-1 tion outside. We hastily explored our prison?a tall iron stove, a table, some cane chairs and two long benches with hard leather cushions, none of them inviting repose: but of other living presence than our own there was no trace. Pillowed upon our waterproofs and each other, we tried to snatcn an nour s sleep, but I, at least, became pretcrnaturally wakeful. Here were we, two unprotected women, dropped dowu a*, an obscure little wayside station at dead of night, with not a soul nearer than the mile-distant hotel to helo u* in case of need. There were suspicious characters lurking about, and our only protection a glass door and the guard, who might be a coward or a knave ; mo could be robbed and murdered, and 110 one would know. The guard's slow, heavy step passing at long intervals, and the gleam of his lantern on his scarlet cap, gave me a little sense of security, but I was very miserable nevertheless, and heartily wished we had not disobeyed papa. In the midst of my reflection, 1 hoard stealthy steps approaching the inner door of the waiting-room and the gratiag of a key quietly turned in the lock. I began trembling violently, ami the next instant, to my horror, tho door opened and the dark-faced man whom j I had seen through the window of the j: codee-room, crept softly in with a dim I lantern in his hand. "Listen," he said, in German, in a hoarse whisper, fixing me with his evil eve. "if vou are quiet and sensible 1 will do voa 110 barm; bnt if yon mnke , the least disturbance, I know bow to silence you." and be showed a murderous-looking knife at his belt. "I have come for tbe diamond the yonng one | wears on ber finger and any other jewels j and money that yoa may have about , you. Be quick and silent; give mo , these things, and niako no resistance as you value yonr lives." I supposo I grew very white and trembling, for L-.-tty said in a linn voice that astonished me : , "Do as he says, Helen?our lives ( are worth more than a few trumpery jewels." I I pushed our small portmanteau , toward the robber with my foot; be , put it on the floor just beiore the door , through which he had entered, set his 1 lantern on thetabie, and began undoing the straps of the portmanteau. How eagerly and vainly we listened I for the tramp of the guard at that j moment, but he appeared to have i, vanished from the face of the earth. j J "The rrfseal evidently thinks the j other door is locked on the outside, as 1 j he is not watching us," said L-?tty, j gliding like a phantom toward the uoor j next the platform. L While the man busily overhauled our j effects Bhu slinned th? bolt; with as little ! noise as if it glide;! over velvef, and j then said to me: "lam going to mako ono bold effort j j to save my ring"; I shall dash that ruau's | lantern to the ground with this handle ' t of shawls?in the darkness we hliall j i have th6 advantage of him, as#no o'?- : stacle is between us and the door. Wo can rush out and scream for t he guard, and I am sure this wretch will not date to follow us." "Oh, but Letiy, the danger!" 1 ; moaned; the man could not undeibtand j us, ??o we could say what we chos?. j "Don't think of the danger, but be' ready to open the door as I snaa-h the ' lantern." Lettv, with a well-directed aim, sent J our thick roll of shawls tlyiug over the i table, and we were all in darkness. The next instant my sifter and I were rasbiDg )i*o mad creatnr?3 down the | platform, shrieking for the guard whose Blouching figure we could see iu the i distance. , j ^'.rangely enough he did not or would ! noi.heac us, and. horror of horrors, I the burglar was hurrying after us, the ' ' light of his lantern gleaming upon his 5 . knife blade! Letty, in despair, pnt her silver ! whistle to her lips and blew till its peculiar note rang cut like a clarion in ] the etill air. Directly afterward we heard iue j ' sound of hastily approaching footstep, . ( whether for goad or evil we could not tel). Letty's courage had failed her, and eho loaued on mo half-fainting with i fright, when a voice catling, in Eag- j( lish, "Hallo! What is the matter V 1 What are you rascals doing?" revived ! her. Two men came running toward u", 11 one of whom, to our amazement and delight, we recognized as Mr. Mordaunt. | our traveling companion. ! , u u uuug U|JVII iiiiu. auu icicj ( him with tears, hysterical laughter and I incoherent thanks, and during oiii" confused explanations did not notico that both robber aiul guard quietly disan- i peared. Mr. Mordaunt accounted for his pros- I enca as follows: As he left us in the j coffee-room ho noticed a suspicious- ] looking pair of fellows about the j.1 it? j form who seemed to be discussing u;; : the waiters also were talking together ; over the vagaries of the two Amerikanerinnen who were going to spend the night at the station, and Mr. Mor- ' dannt concluded that we might be i subjected to annoyai.ee, if nothing J more. He therefore decided to wait himself for the next train, and not liking to intrude fnitlierupon us had whiled away I the timo smoking and chatting with another belated traveler, within eight of our temporary prison. Ho had strayed some distance down the road, when the souud of Letty's whi.stlo reached his ears as a sound of distress. " What I can't understand is this rascally guard having deserted his posv so shamefully," said our rescuer, ringing at u huge bell which hung near. Presently lights were seen approaching, and a few sleopy-lookingmen gathered wonderiugly about us. One of them stumbled over something lying in a dark corner. "What is this!'' ho exclaimed. "Adolf Harle, the night guard, in a drunken slaop. Ho will lose his post for this neglect of duty." It wrn afterward discovered that Adolf Harle. the leal guard, had been drugged over his evening glass of beer by two rnili* s. one of whom had invested himself with the watchman's duties, lantern and cup, while tho other made his daring attempt npon Letty and me. "He only got some fliam earrings aud an ivory brush from the portmanteau, and I savid mv ring !" said Letty, triumphantly. Fright and excitement had cooled our desive to seo her majesty, Queen Margherita, aud on the following day we returned to Toblacb, Mr. Mordannt accom pan Ting us. When pupa returned five days later, Romney Mordauut met him with the request for the hand o? his younger daughter in marriage, a request which my father conld not refuse when he looked into Letty's radiant eyes. Prehistoric Mining' in Michigan. The Lake Superior mines have the advantage of producing metal free from any alloy of antimony or nickel or arsenic. In many of the mines great masses of native metal are found so large that they must bo cut in place witii chisels. Ail tho more important mines are situated on the ancient workings of a prehistoric ri>ce. They peem to have been ignorant of the fact that copper could be melted, for tbev left behind them the fragments too small to use and the masfe* too heavy to lift. Every day they subjected it to a temperature nearly high enough, without making a discovery which would have lifted them out of the Stone Ai?e into the Bronzo Age, and perhaps have enabled them to survive tue struggle in which they perished. They mu3t have been v. ry numerous, and havo reached the point of development where they were capable of organizing industry. In Isle Koyale, nenr the MinoDg mine, their pits, excavated to a depth of from ten to twenty feet in the solid rock, cover an area of from threoto four hundred feet wide and more than a mi e and a half in length. The labor exnf.n/lcil lioro r>nmif,f; buvA been much ^ m.v-x. ? short of tbat involved in buildiflg a pyramid. Isie Royale is ten ruiles from tho nearest Iar.d, and is incapable of producing food, so Ibat all supplies except fish mutt have been brought from some distant point. Their excavations could of course never go below the point, at which water would accumulate. Their hammers, frequently to the number of several thousand, are found in fceaps where they were evidently placed at the end of the season. A* no graves or evidences of habitations are found, we can hardly doubt that the ancient miners lived south of the groat lakes, and nude yearly journeyings with fleets of canoes to the copper mines. Tho aggregate amount of tho metal which they carried off must have been very great, and it has, I believe, been generally thought that the copper implements of the ancient Mexicans came from this poure.e M. Charnay in a recent number of the North American seems to tliitik that the Mexicans reduced copper from its ores. A chemical analysis of their hatchets would solve the question, for Lake Superior copper is so free from alloys as to be unmistakable. The superintendent of the old O.iledenia mine in Ontonagon county kindly took mo to the top oi' a cliff wheie three Cornish " tributers"?miners woikiDg not for wages but for u share of the protect?had cleared out one of the ancient pits in tho outcrop of the vein. They had brought out a quantity of copper, ami had just uncovered a largo mas* which would weigh certainly not less than seven tons. M>iny battered stone hammers lay around the mouth of tho pit. Tho active little Englishmen, belonging to a race of hereditary miners perhaps as old as the mound-builders themst Ives, had come around the world from the East to finish the work of the departed Asiatic race from the West at a time to which no date can be assigned. Not far away another part7 had cut down a doad cedar to make props for their tunnel.

It was made from a Btono found, I believe, only on the north shore of tho lako. This troo was not far from two hundred and fifty years old ; but as cedar is almost indestructible in this climate, it may have been dead several hundred year.'. The axman said that he had found several hammers in the center of cedars. It would seem barely possible that this hammer li d been placed in a cleft of tho treo, when it was a sapling, that the wood might grow around the groove and serve as a handle. At all events, this one, which I have, was certainly placed where it was?about thirty inches from tho ground?by human hands, undoubtedly by the ancient miner himself, when the tree was a twig.?Hurotrs M'iguzhie. Two Oueer Deaths. A recent issu-- of tho Louisville (Ky.) Commrrd'il says: About three weeks igo William Downey, of Blackwell's precinct, died iu n very singular manner. His strength began failing on Wednesday wuuouo apparent t-auwe; tiis flesh /ell away with alarming rapidity, ami by Monday following he had ib-olutelv dwindled away without having felt sick or suffered the slightest pain or indisposition. Whi n placed on liis deathbed, a few hours before he 3ied, he was laughing and talking, and leelared that he never felt better in his ife. Such a singular and unaccounta)ie dea'.h naturally created considerable >mprise and wonder in the neighborhood where it haDpened. But these s-ere increased to const ermtion ivhen, iu a few days after Mr. Downey's death, his daughter Miss Sallie, who is about twenty-two fears of age, was taken exactly as her father was, ard without suffering the slightest pain or sickness has grown speaker and thinner each day, till sho is but a skeleton of her former self, and it our last account was lying speechless npon what has doubtless proved her 3eath-bed ore this.

Three valuable foreign books, worth at least S6.000, came to the custom-houso at New York recently, bnt were detained by the authorities.

On the authority of Lieutenant Dan nenhower, of tho lost Jeannetto expedi tion, the gold production of the Siberian districts is far more important than is generally supposed.

The street trade of New York is a subject which has hitherto been overlooked by the statistician, probably because of the'difficulty of obtaining reliable figures concerning it. But taken in the aggregate, it forms a very important item in its internal prosperity. There are at least a dozen wholesale firms whoso chief sources of profit are derived from the stationery peddlers and hucksters who occupy the pavements?firms who sell goods manufactured especially for this class of customers. F/uita, flowers, confectionery, photographs, cutlery, walking-canes, oysters, periodicals, notions, cheap hosiery, cigars and various other articles contribute to make up the sum total of a street trade amounting in the aggregate to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Stanley, the explorer, was on the Upper Congo, Southwest Africa, on the 16tfc January last, with his party of 23(5 men, mostly Zanzibarris, who, he fays, are obedient, docile, brave and hard-working. They are also perfectly honost. Not one is in disgrace, and during the month preceding there had been no occasion for uttering an angry word. Not one of them has a gnn, spear, knife or weapon of any kind. Stanley maintains a certain reticence about the exact nature of his work in Africa. He is the agent of companies which have invested large amounts of capital in opening up sections of Africa, and who naturally desire to eecure for themselves all the advantages which may accrue from the explorer's labors. In a few months we shall probably hear rather interesting and possibly startling news from the little camp on the Upper Congo. Bicyclers in Philadelphia and Baltimore, as well as those in New York, are ; having a fight for the privilege of riding in the parks and public drives. In a few American cities ? Washington among them?the experience bas been that horses soon get used to the mounted wheelmen, and pay no more attention to them than to men on foot, or persons traveling by an\ other vehicle. It is said that there are more than three i hundred thousand .bicycles in use in England, and that the opposition at first manifested toward them, on the ground that they would frighten horses, lotig ago died out. Since the opening of the elevated railroads in Now York the capacity of j horses for getting used to things has ! been pretty thoroughly tested, and has not proved inadequate. Horses that j are frequently driven near tlie elevated roads do not so much as prick up their ! ears when the trains go thundering over J thoir heads. Perhaps the short life of ; the objection to the elevated roads on j the ground that the trains would fright, en horses is duo to the fact that the l projected roads were backed by so I many million dollars that the objectors j couldn't help themselves?an advantage | v hich the average individual wheelman | doesn't enjoy. Among a thousaud forms of benevo: lenco, scarcely ono gives a larger and | quicker return for the money invested j than that which affords to the poor i children of great cities a breath ofcounj try air. The noble beqnest of $500,! 000 left by Mr. Thomas Wilson, of BaiI timore, in 1879, "for tho purpose of j securing a summer retreat for sick chil| dren from the heat and unhealthfulness ; of the city" has been applied, after a | carefal investigation and consultation j with sanitary and medical experts, in ! tho following manner, in the 1 * lu* i JUIlgUHgO U1 tun BLticiai; ui wo i I Wilson sanitarium: "Our Irasors I have purchased a tract of 100 acres,well j watered and with considerable timber, i a half-hour's ride by rail from the cen; ter of the city, and with an altitude of ! mx hundred feet abovo tide water.

The opinion of tho court sustains tho position taken by the district attoruoy, that tho jurisdiction i? completo whero the fatal blow was struck without regard to tho locality of actual demise. Tho court holds that the bullet fired at the President byGniteau on tho 2dof July at the railroad station in Washington was the causo of his death and that tho trial could only liavo b:ou held in i H\iuV?ir?n4/\?? on/1 flint.

The only nerves ^ worth mentioning) .in the human body which are not under the control of the brain, are those of the heart and other internal organs; and over these parts, as everybody knows, we have not any voluntary power. But all our limbs and muscles are moved in accordance with impulses sent down from the brain, so that, for example, when I have made np my mind,to Bend a telegram to a friend, my legs tako me duly to the telegraph office, my hand writes the proper message, und my tongue undertakes the necessary arrangements with the clem.

Thus, if we cut off a wasp's head and stick it on a needle in front of some sugar and water, the mouth will greedily bogin to eat the nwcct syrup, apparently unconscious of the fact I hah it has lost its stomach and that tho food is quietly dropping out of the gullet at the other end as fast a<3 it is swallowed. So, too, if we decapitate that queer Mediterranean insect, the praying mantis, the headless body \s ill stand catching flies with its outstretched arms, and fumbling about for its mouth when it has caught one, evidently much surprised to tied that its head is unaccountably missing. In'fact, whatever may be the case with can, the insect, at least, is really a conscious automaton. It sees or smells food, and it is at once impelled 1)7 its nervous constitution to eat it. It receives a sense-impression from tho bright hue of a flower, and it is irresistibly attracted toward it, as the moth is ta the candle.

The Objibaway Indians have the following1 lecrend. told bv a correspondent in the Century: A fox was fishing one day in the depth of winter through a hole in the ice, using his tail for bait, by which means ho caught a groat number at first, but as the day went by he was not so successful. His tail becoming numbed, he did not perceive it getting frozen in. Byand-bye,thinking he had got a bite, he gave a emart pull and broke his vail off short, at which he began to weep. The Manitou coming along asked him why he wept. The fox told him, and begged to have his tail restored. The Manitou told him he could havo it back if ho could discover an animal as stupid as himself. The fox started for home, with tho result of his sport in his mouth. On the road he met a bear, who asked him how he had managed to catch so mai:j fish. The fox told him it was the easiest thing in the world ; all he had to do was to use the same means he L ad done, which the bear begged to be taught. The fox, nothing loatb, took Bruin on the ice, cut a hole for him, and tokl him to put his tail through and not to pull it out until ho called to him, and then to take it out as quickly as possible. The t'ox waited until he saw it well frozen in, and shonted "PullI" and snap wont the tail. The fox's tail was restored to ium, but tue bear lost his forever, and this is the reason the bear has a stumpy tail to this day.

An Anlclc tbnt Will .Hake the Bald an? <Jrny Rejoice. Many of the hair dressings of tho day- ait excellent, but tho great mass of tho stuffs sold for promoting (he growth and bringing back the original color, aro mero humbugs, white not- a few are pernicious in their effocts upon the scaty and hair. The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature change in color are all evidences of a diseased /inn/lit fr?n r\9 Oflfl flirt frlftnrf* U'llicll nourish tlio hair. To arrest thnso causes tho articlo U3ed mnat possc.-s medical as well as chemical viitucs, and the chango must begin under tho ecalp to be of permanent and lasting benefit. Petroleum oil is the article which in made to work such extraordinary results; but it is after tho best refined article has bom chemically treated, and completely deodorized, that it is in proper condition for iho toilet ana receives tho liamo of Carbolluo. It was in farolY Russia that tho effects of petroleum upon the bair wero first observed; a government officer having noticed that a partially bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the lamps, bad a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in hi? scanty loclw, and tho result wa9, in a few months, a much finer head of black, glossy hair than he over had boforo. Tho oil was tried on horses and ratt!o that had lost thoir hair from the cattlo plague, and the results were marvelous. The manes and tails of horses, which had fallen out, wero completely restored in a few weeks. These experiments were heralded to tho world, but no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But tho skill of one of our chemists baa overcome iho difficulty, and ho has succeeded in perfecting Carboline, rendering it as dainty as the .'amous can do cologne. Experiments on tho human hair and skin were attended with tho most astonishing results. A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scaip and the hair. Every particlo of dandruff disappears on the first or second dressing, all cutaneous die ease of the skin and aca!p are rapidly and permanently healed, and tho liquid seems to penetrato to the root of tho hair at once. It is well known that tho most beautiful colore are made from petroleum, and by some mysterious operation of nature tho use of this article gradually imparts a beautiful light brown color to the hair, which by continued use deepens to black. I he color remains permanent, and the change is so gradual that tho most intimate friends cau ecarcelv detect its progress. In-a word, it is the m ist wonderful discovery of the ago, and well calculated to make tho prematurely ba!d and gray rcjoico. Carboline is put tip in a neat and attractive manner and sola by all dealers in drugs and mediciues. Prico ono dollar a bottle.

Mr. Sinclair was among the fiiat to recognizo the merits of Holman's Pad. Ilia teatimonial, published in 1875, eold a great number. Recently Mr. S. brought to our office voluntarily tho following": Dr. Holjiax : AftcraufTering for many years from Chills and Fever, in utter despair of cure, 1 was induced to try Holman's Pacl. Contrary to my expectations, I was cured; and, as the event has shown, radically. Year after year adds its testimony to tho efficacy or the Pad in all malarial complaints. After an experience of five years I desire to reaffirm all I formerly said of the virtuea of Dr. Holman's Pads, and earnestly recommend them to the afflicted. Yours very sincerely, J. H. Sinclaib.
