CHEAP AND RAPID TELEGRAPHY.
After carefully investigating all de
velopments regarding the death of Ben
jamin Barnes, of Shnsan, Washington
conntj N. Y, the authorities are satis-
„io.oo g e d that he' was poisoned. They sus
pect his wife, nephew and son-in-law.
The latter whose name is Priest, is of
bad reputation, fie was married to
Barnes’ only child a year ago, against
the wishes of her father; but with the
mother’s sanction. At the instigation of
Barnes the villagers tarred and feathered
Priest. It is charged that Mrs. Barnes,
who is forty-five years of age, and the
husband’s nephew, who is fifteen years
younger, have been v ery ntimate.
When Barnes first besame sick, last
week, Wednesday, Dr. Maynard sup
posed he was suffering from a billions
attack. Within two days unmistakable
gym toms of poisoning wen developed.
As the doctor’s suspicions were aroused
against members of tho family, he pro-
Telegraph companies are being organ
ized by several of the leading Railroad
companies under the power granted
them to do so by the telegraph bill re
cently passed by Congress. A line lias
already been chartered in New York,
which threatens to be a serious rival to
the Western Union Company. The
new company is known as the American
Rapid Telegraph Company, and has a
capital of $3,000,000. It is proposed
to build lines connecting New York
with Boston, Baltimore, and other cities
of the West and Southwest. It is prob
able that a general Bystem of connecting
lines will be built by the railroads in the
country, to he used not only for their
own convenience, bnt to do a general
commercial and press business.
The Baltimore and Ohio Oompanv
has already constructed a line of its
own between this city and Washington,
hut has hot yet established an office' in
the centre of the city for the accommo
dation of the business public, but this
is expected to be done. The subject of
constructing lines over the entire length
Of the main stem, branches and con
necting roads of the company is under
consideration, and will no doubt be de
termined npnn shortly. When this is
done a main office will be established
convenient to the business centre of the
city, and local offices elsewhere, tor the
convenience of customers.
The establishment- of these new com
peting lines is expected to materiality
affect, and may probably revolutionize,
the telegraph business. It. is claimed
that a new and more rapid system of
transmitting and receiving messages
will be nRed, and the cost of messages
greatly cheapened. The rates men
tioned are 25 cents to. all stations east
of the Rocky Mountains,and 15 cents for
fifty words for night messages. Special
messages for the press will be charged
as low as 10 cents for a bnndred words.
The plnri.iuclndes not- only the most
rapid transmission of messages, hut al
so a system of rapid delivery, and con
templates the use of the telegraph in
connection with the post, office, so as to
bring it within the reach of all.—Haiti

CURE FOR SOKE EYES.
An old citizen of this ciry, who has
been inflicted for some years with
chronic sore eyes, has been trying, with
considerable success lately, an applica
tion of cold water. He administered it
with a small eve-glass, with the top
shaped like a half moon, and to fit over
the eye. He would put the cold water
in the glass, and, after putting it over
his eye, would open and shut the eye
several times in the water contained in
the glass. The glass usually remained
on the bureau in the bed-room where
our friend slept. About two weeks ago
a member of the family had occasion to
nse some cayenne pepper, and r without
thinking, dropped about a half teaspoon
in the eye glass. The gentleman re
turned from his business late at night,
and, after nndressing for bed# went to
to the bureau and took up the ipnoeent-
luokiug little eye-glass, and, filling it
wilL water, slapped it to the weak
but unoffending eye, and began to
open xnd shut, as nsnal. It is needless
to add that instead of the usual soothihg
effect of the water, he experienced the
sensntion that a man would who had in
advertently dropped his eye into aqua
fortis. He pranced around the room to

freely at his dinners, and the trades

in ignorance of the most recherche ef
forts of the North German cuisine.
• During the' summer and aatnmD. how
ever, the millionaire was not at home.
He was away at the watering places,
but it- has only jnsl .trnnspired in what
capacity. In foet, he went tho rounds
of these resorts, when they were most
crowded, in the discharghpf his business
as professional beggar, in which art he
had no rival, and which enabled him to
accumulate bis fortune and live at such
pleasant ease in the “off season” He
was a genuine artist in bis line, n
perfect actor, a master of disguise, and
played many roles in his foraging ex
peditious, “In wretched habiliments*'’
says one aceonnt, “with an invalid’s
cap, blue spectacles, long snow-white
hair jndicionsly unkempt, apparently
palsied limps, he used to shamble slow
ly and most artistically along the prom
enades. He never directly asked alms,
as he knew by experience that the si
lent system of begging paid the best;
but money was liberally bestowed upon
him, his best harvest being gathered in
the once famous gambling resorts, the
winners donbtless making gifts in the
way of thank offerings, the losers to
propitinte fortune.” He used to send
his receipts to Berlin every week, and
had them.invested with prudence and 1
Judgement. He drove this profitable
trade for thirty years long after he had
become a rich man, and was finally
recognized at Weisbadon by a Berliner
and exposed, where upon he gave up
his little game and retired.

J. H. ESTILL,
No. 3 Whitaker street, Savannah, Ga.
The greatest discovery of our day, so far as :
large portion of humanity is concerned, is CAR
BOllNE, an article prepared from petroleum, hml
which effects a complete and radical cure in case of
baldnoffi, or where the hair, owing to diseases of
the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall oaf.
It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use se
cures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back
the natural color, and gh'cs the rnofd complete sat
isfaction in the nsing. Whe falling out of the hair,
the accnmnlations of dandruff, and the premature
change in color are all evidences of a diseased con
dition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the
hair. To arrest these causes the article used must
possess medical os well as ehemfeal virtues, and the
change muBt begin nnder the scalp to be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CAR
BOLINS, and, like many other wonderfnl discov
eries, it is fonnd to consist of dements almost in
their natural state. Petroleum. oR is the article
which is made to work such extraordinary results:
bat it is after it hat been chemically treated and
completely deodorized that it is in proper condition
for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that the
effect of petroleum upon the hair was first observed.
Government officer having noticed that a partially
bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the
lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-beameared
Vanda inhisseanty lock*, and the result was ina
few months a much finer head of black, gioeey hair
than ht ever had' beToie. The eil was tried on
hones and cattle that. had. lost their.kair from the''
cattle plagae, sad the resalts were as rapid as they,
were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of,
horses, which'had fallen out, were cpmp’.jrtely re
stored. iu a few weeks/. Thete experiments wifi

heralded to the world, but the knowledge was prac
tically useless to the prematurely lxdd anJtSTay. a*!
uo one in civilized society could tolerate file use.'of
refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair.. But th*
skill of one of our chemists has overcome ihe diffi :
cnlty, and by a process known only to himself, he
has. after Tery elaborate and costly experiments, suc
ceeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which
renders it susceptible of being handled as daintily
as the famous eau decoldgne. The experiments with
(he deodorized liquid on the human hair were at
tended with the most astonishing resuits. .. A few
applications, where the liair was thin ami falling,
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and
hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears on
the first or second dressing, and the liqnid so search
ing in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at
once, and set up a radical change from the start. It
is well known that the most beautiful colors arc
made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious
operation of natnre. the use of this article gradu
ally imparts a bcHntifnlTight-T>row)i Color to the
hair which by continued use, deepens to a black

Ina word, it is the most woudeirful discovery o'
the age. and well calculated to make the prem.-.
turely bald and gray rejoice.
We advise onr readers to give it a trial,..feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them of
its wonderful effects.—Pittsburgh Commercial oj
Oct. 22. lSTT.
The article is telling its own story in the hands of
thousands who are using it with the most gratifying
and encouraging results :
W. 11. Bn 1 li. & Co., Fifth Avenne Pharmacy, says,
“ift have sold preparations for the hair for upward
of twenty years, bnt have never had oue to sell as
well orgive such universal satisfaction. We there
fore recommend it with confidence to our friends
and the general public.”
Mr. Gustaves F. Hall, of the Oates Opera
Troupe, writes: gAfter six weeks’ nse 1 am con
vinced, as are also my comrades, that your j Carbo-
line’ has and is producing a wonderful growth of
hair where I had none for years.”
C. IL Smith, of the Jennie night Combination,
writes: " After nsing your • Carboline' three weeks
1 am convinct d that bald heads can be 4 re-haired."
It's simply wonderful in my case.”
B. F. Author, chemistHolyoke, Mass., writes:
“ Your ‘Carboline’ lias restored my hair after every
thing else had failed.”
Joseph E. Pond, attorney-at-law. Xo. Attleboro.
Mass., writes : For more than 20 years a portion of
my head has been as snl00: h and fare from hair as a
billiard ball, bnt some eight weeks ago I was in
duced to iry your Carbotiiic, and tile effect has
been simply wonderful. Where no hair has been
seen for years there now appears a thick-growth,
and I am convinced that by continuing its use I shall
have as good a head of hair as 1 ever bad. It is
growing now nearly as rapidly as hair dees after
It is cut.

TKCTHAT THE BOTTOM OF A WELL.
Truth comes to us as gold is washed down
the mountains of the Sierra Nevadas, in
minute bnt precious particles, and is still
truth, though it be found at the bottom of
an oil well, like Carboline—the great nat
ural hair restorer, which effectually pre
vents the falling ont of the hair, the accnm
nlations of dandruff, and the premature
change in color dne to a diseased condition
of the scalp and the glands which nourish
the hair,. ..It is well known that the most
beautiful colors are made from petroleum,
and by some mysterious operation of na
ture the use of this article gradually im
parts a beautiful light brown color to the
nair, which, by continued use, deepens to
a black. The color remains permanent
for an indefinite length ofjtime, and the
change is so gradual that themost intimate
friends can scarcely detect its progress. In
a word, it is the most wonderful discovery
of the age, and well calculated to make
the prematurely bald and gray rejoice.
