HALiXj’S Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENE WEE was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases of the scalp, and the first suc cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its natural color, growth, and youthful beauty. It has had many imitators, hut none have so fully met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp. Hall’s Hair Renewer has steadily grown ik favor, and spread its fame and usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal leled success can bo attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises. . The proprietors hare often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote coun tries, where they had never made an effort for its introduction. The use for a short time of Hall's Hair Renewer wonderfully improves the per sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from all Impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It stimulates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigorous growth. The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic prepara tions, hut remain a long time, which makes Us use a matter of economy.

Oitr., Sect’y., Ac.: Dear Sib—For 3 years my wife has been a martyr to dyspepsia and kidney disease. I employed the most eminent Physicians, but she grew worse daily. Three months since her case was pronounced incurable, but at this time some one sent me a circu lar cf the Daniel Mineral Spring. I ordered a barrel which arrived three weeks since. My wife commenced using it at once, and to-day she is in good health. A few weeks since she was a mere skeleton and her friends thought she would never he well again. This change lias been wrought by the Daniel Mineral Spring Water. Yours truly. J. A. MUNDAY, Pastor Ramali Baptist Church. Mr. W. H.

The boits struck many points in the city, in Vinevilie, and others near Macon. Milledgeville, we are pleased to say, was not tapped by this storm.

Another strike in the Philadelphia shoe manufactories. The number of strikes 1ms gotten up pretty high in rise hundreds. Isn’t it time for the protectionists'to stop their cry that the manufacturers are the best friends of the laborers. Surely the laborers ought to be the best judges of that. We have received from tho Daily Morn ing News, Savannah, several samples of Lithographic work that are handsomely executed in the highest typo of the Art. The Morning News is a prosperous paper, and the cause of its pecuniary success is its skill in business and its progressive spirit. It lias the means, 1 lie talent and the skill—with these combined it must be successful. Rev, J. M. Stoney, rector of St. Steph en's Episcopal Church in this city preach ed a farewell sermon to tho congregation last Sabbath. His text was taken Gene sis, chapter 22., and latter clause of verse 7: "Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” It was much regretted by the writer that he could not be present on this interesting occasion, being at the College services. We hope some friend of Mr. Stoney will tell us about the sermon and services. Those who raise fine tomatoes will read with interest tho following which we find in the Telegraph & Messenger of Inst Thursday. They were raised in Griffin. If our city or county readers can equal or beat it, let us hear from you. We were shown yesterday a duster of tomatoes excelling anything of the kind ever seen. It contained twenty well-grown tomatoes some of them quite large, weigh ing i/i pounds and was grown by Mrs. B. F. Dove of this city. Card of Mr. J. D. Mast.—We take pleasure in calling attention to the card of Mr. J. D. Mast which appears in our adver tising columns. Mr. Mast is a genius in mechanical invention, but like some other inventors, lacking means, his talents have not enriched him as would have been the case if he had been favored by fortune. Ho has a model which, if perfected, would be of great utility, as a motive power. This he politely exhibits and explains to any one who would bo interested in a gieat labor saving machine. In the absence of ability to construct it, be lor the time be ing offers his services as stated in his card. Mr. Mast is a poiite and genial Frechraan, well related to persons in business and po sition in society. We commend hitn to all who may need his services in the line in dicated. His work is warranted and per fect, and gives satisfaction to all who re quire his services. The addaess of Hon. F. G. DuBignon at Emory College Commencement is thus al luded to by one of the Editors of the Tele graph & Messenger who was present: The feature of the occasion in question was the address of the Hon. F. G. DuBig non before the Sophomore and-Junior clas ses, preparatory to awarding the medals for which they had contested. His effort proved tho power of eloquence, as with classic mind and imagination, exquisite diction and a delivery sustaining a smooth and delightful oratory, he laid down the principles and pictured alike, the price and raptures of success. Wo love the mau, who, in this day, maintains that great conviction must bottom great pur poses, great actions and great careers. Would that the young men of Georgia were impressed with this fact as strongly as it was presented to the large audience who listened but yesterday to the eloquent utterances of this young Georgian. The Panama Canal.—Baris, June 24— M. DeLesseps declares that the rumors of the failure of the Panama excavation works are false. The latest advices he lias re ceived from the works are to the effect that there were fewer obstacles to over come than was expected. The enterprise is making rapid progress and the canal will be finished In 1888, when he hopes he and his children will be present. In re gard to the Nicarauga Canal, M. DeLes seps said that he favored the project, which in no wise interfered with the Pana ma Canal, but would be a fresh water feeder to the Panama, with regard to which lie had no possible rivalry to fear. It seems to us that the commercial world would have no objection to either of these canals or to the addition of another, if cap italists should see proper to construct it. The more there are the cheaper it will be to them. A COINCIDENCE. A most remarkable coincidence is con nected with the following brief announce ment in the exercises at Wesleyan Female College, Macon, Ga., last week. “The medal annually donated by Mrs, Elizabeth S. Myrick, and known .as the “Myrick prize medal in elocution” was awarded to Miss Pauline A. Logan.” The mother of tho young lady, and Mrs. Gen. S. P. Myrick of Midway, graduated in the same class at Wesleyan is 1842. And, the other day, when Miss Logan was receiving the handsome modal, Mrs. My rick and Mrs. Logan were sitting side by. side, and each expressed their gratifica tion on that occasion. Miss Logan is a niece of Hon. Thos Hardeman. Some of the protection papers, both Democratic and Republican, In their fran tic efforts to sustain and comfort “the Painted Harlot of Protection” constantly I wave before the eves of tijeir readers (in imitation of those fanatics in the North ! who wave the Bloody Shirt) a scare crow, j which they call “Direct Taxation.” The | gentle breezes of truth, however, blow aside the tattered rags and display under neath a picture of absurdity and false hood, as despicable as the soiled rags that cover them. These*papers assert that if we had free trade it would be accompanied with a direct tax in Georgia amounting annually to $8,000,000. This statement is paraded before their readers in order to frighten many who otherwise might favor a reduction of the tariff taxation. In his speech on the Morrison bill, the Hon. James H. Blount said that in all his political career, he had never known a pub lic man to advocate free trade and direct taxation in order to divert attention from the question of a reduction in the tariff. Like all the devices and arguments of the high-protectionists, whenexamined.it is found to be wind and nothing moie. The same statement was made by Mr. Randall in his speecli opposing the Morrison bill. We assert that wo can have free trade in the necessaries of life, for the benefit of the masses of the peoplo in this country with out collecting one cent from direct taxa tion, and we will proceed to prove it. The estimated receipts by the Secretary of the Treasury, for the fiscal year ending in 1SS3, are from tariff duties, $195,000,000; Internal Revenue $120,000,000; cither sources of revenue $23,000,000. Adding the internal revenue and miscellaneous re ceipts together (excluding the tariff duties,) and we have $148,000,000. The Secretary estimates the expenditures at S236.000.000- Deducting from the expenditures tho $143,- OOO.ftoO derived from all sources, except tar iff duties, and $88,000,000 is left to be raised from tariff duties in order to make up the sum total of expenditures. But cannot the government expenditures be reduced. Be it remembered this is the estimate of a Republican Administration, and we know that the Republicans are wasteful and ex travagant. The interest on the public debt is $5 i.ooo,- 000. The Pension list is $40,000,000 and the ordinary expenses of the Government, $146,000,000. Making tlie total amount $236,000,000. The year before tho war the expenses of the Government were $68,000,- 000. The expenses of the army then, were I $17,000,000 against $25,000,000 now. Tho expense of the Navy then $13,000,ooo against $17,000,000 now. In the political “Text Book” by M. W J Clttsky, page 760, 1 we find a speech delivered by Mr. Slu r- man, now Senator from Ohio, denouncing the administration of President Buchanan and tne Democratic Party for extravagant expenditures, in which he! says the ex penses should be reduced to $50,000,000 a car. There should and could be now, a reat reduction in the government ex penses. Our peoplo do not desire a costly government. They have no monarchy to maintain in splendor and magnificence. The theory of our government is to have a plain, simple, effective and economical government. If wo wish to see a show we can go to a circus or theatre. Our army numbers 25,000 men. The New York Sun, a very able newspaper maintains that it can be reduced to 10,000 and be all that is necessary. We all know that General Grant, when President, used more than half the army to overawe southern voters and carry elections for tho Republican party. Under reform, the pensions could he reduced one-fourth, or from $40,000,000 to $30,000,000, and the latter sum would be worth more than the former is now under a reduced tariff system. By care and economy the ordinary expenses ol the gov ernment could be easily reduced one-third. Then instead of $146,000,000 say $100,000, a reduction of 46,000,000 and that, too, with out reducing pensions which might be an unpopular measure. This account would then stand: Ordinary expenses $100,000,000; pensions, $40,000,000; interest on debt, $50,000,000; to tal, $100,0o0,000. Any intelligent man who will reflect upon the subject will easily perceive that this is a liberal estimate for an economical administration. Now de duct the $148,000,000 derived from internal revenue and miscellaneous sources, and the sum of $42,000,000 would be left to be raised by the tariff duties. This sum could be easily raised by a tariff on the luxuries of life, such as champagne, line liquors, silks, satins, laces, costly clothing, elegant furniture, plates, jewelry, and oth er articles used by the wealthy classes. Another resource would be a tax on large incomes, which, however, it would not be necessary to resort to. This statement shows how easily the amount and more too could be raised. As population increased the revenue would increase, *and tho sur plus, over expenditures, could be applied to the payment of the pubiic debt. The weight of taxation would fall upon the lux uries and the class or people best able to bear it, while tiie poor—the numerous poor —God’s own people so much neglected and oppressed, would have the opportunity of making by their labor a comfortable sup port and besides lay aside something for old age or rainy days.

Although the weather was not pro- | ery. pitious the Chapel of tho College was filled at an early hour by the parents and friends of the children and the public gen erally. In short, the spacious hall was filled to overflowing, attesting the deep In terest felt by our people in tho progress and personality of this particular branch of tlie M. G. M. & A. College. The exercises were opened by a brief but pertinent prayer, by Dr. Cook, President of the College. After music by the Mil ledgeville Brass Band, little Pauline Cara- aker, a graduate from the Primary de partment, dressed In a most taking style, appeared and delivered a short but very appropriate salutatory. This was follow ed by Calisthenics from the Infant class. The “Bells, Bells, Bells,” by Pee, were charmingly recited by threo little girls— “Sleigh Bells,” Miss Mary Conn, “Golden Bells,” Miss Corinne Crawford, “Fire Bells,” Miss Bessie Williams. This reci tation received rapturous applause. The Wand exercises were next in order, and a prettier sight one seldom sees. The pretty dresses, pretty faces, figures, atti tudes, marching, were perfect. It must have been apparent, even to the common est intellect, how useful these exercises are to children. They are recreation and exer cise at tiie same time. They expand the lungs, put the heart in motion and develop the chest. They ate the foundation for health which, after all, is the greatest charm of true physical womanhood. The_ Valedictory was delivered by Master Marvin Brantley, a handsome little fellow, who very gracefully bade tho audience good night. The teachers in this department are pains-taking and devoted to their charge. -Mi s Alice Wright presided at tlie piano during Caliethegjcs and Wand exercises, and lids is saying enough, for her accom plishments as a performer are known to all. The Milledgeville Bra§s Band played several popular airs, adding to the pleas antness of tlie programme. OUR NEIGHBORS. Merriwether, June 27th, 1884. Messrs. Editors: There is perhaps no more prosperous neighborhood in our county than this. Located in the 313th District, which is, par excellence noted for as fine farming lands as are to be found in Middle Georgia, it is no wonder that It has, from time im memorial, attracted a citizenship noted for intelligence, energy, thrift and general prosperity. In this District are lands, watered and fertilized by the Oconee and Little rivers and Potato, Cedar, Buck and Fishing creeks and the descendants of the Hurts, Myricks, Edmundsons, Harpers, Santoros, Sneads, Napiers, Humphries, Jarratts, Scogins, and others of their quondam owners, are illustrating, that “there is life in the old land yet.” The crops look well, but tlie grass is giving the laborers a hard fight. Most of the small grain has been saved (?) in a dam aged condition. Mr. Wingfield has a pros perous, as well as a very Interesting school. His pupils are now practicing un der his and Mrs B. H. Myrick’s instruc tions for an entertainment on the 8th of July, for the benefit of Bethel Church, which is near by. During the last few months, death has been dhing a heavy work in this communi ty, and many of both races have fallen victims to the insatiate archer. It was my good fortune to be the guest of Mr. E. Z. Brown, who has recently erected an eie- gant country mansion and furnished it most elegantly and he and his excellent wire know how to dispense hospitality. They have a beautiful fish pond, well stocked with carp, one of which was caught and skillfully prepared for tlie table, under the immediate supervision of Mrs. B. After partaking of tho samp, all hands agreed that the shad, perch, bream and red horse, need have no fear of being superseded by the German carp. Mr. B., also has an ice house stor'd with a sufficiency of ice, gathered from his own pond, last winter, to supply himself and neighbors allsum mer. K. A Colt Falls Forty Feet. Dr. Maik Johnston’s thoroughbred colt, "Bill Clayton Torrence,” fell into the well on the “Old Rockwell Lot,” last Thursday evening and was hauled up, after a twenty- four hours stay therein, unhurt in the slightest degree. The well is, by actual measurement, 40 feet deep, walled with rock from top to bottom, and, in width, is smaller than the customary size. The bot tom is rough and uneven. A heavy piece of timber six feet long, and about a cart load of dirt accompanied the colt on his journey downward. We can vouch for the truth of this state ment. More than twenty persons saw the colt in tlie well, and assisted at his rescue' This is certainly a wonderful exploit for so young a colt. It is feared by his own er that he has "set down” on the name. Georgia Press. A dispatch Horn Savannah to the Louis ville Courier-Journal states that tho re tirement of Mr. P. W. Alexander from the Telegraph aud Messenger, means unob structed war upon Gov. McDaniel. The correspondent intimates that Col. J. H. Estiii, of Savannah, has been entered up on the gubernatorial tiackby his friends. Commencement Exercises. Sunday, June 29th. VVALKISTS. Macon and Atlanta are both claiming a victory over the recent “walk” at Atlanta. Whero the honors are so “easy,” there should be no dispute about the title to championship. Augusta has also got the fever, and at the walk, June 25tb, Augusta claims the victory and the honors, so-called. Very few of these great walkers would walk 20 yards to a wood pile and cut tip wood enough to make a pot boil. The buffet cars on tho Richmond and Danville railroad,running between Atlanta and New York, are very popular. They combine all the good points of sleepers, smoking and dining room cars. Tho menu on these buffet cars comprises fruit, raw oysters, pickles, sardines, ham sandwhich- es, sardines, tongue, butter crackers, tea, chocolate, coffee, ice water, boiled eggs, cheese, bread and butter, milk, cream, Appolliari3 water, lemonade and cigars. Congress is working rapidly on the river and harbor, the fortification and other bills, to get through the most important ones, so as to adjourn on the 3rd, if possi ble. Tlie Democrats are anxious to close, to join tlie great congregation at Chicago, and the Republicans are anxious to get homo to work on the bolters who ace stray ing off from the grand old party of “moral ideas” which claims other people’s money as their own, of right, and obtained 4 years of power by violating all of the Ten Commandments but two. File chapel of the college was filled at ail early hour by our citizens, and supplement ed with an attendance of many from a- broad. The exercises were opened with a sacred air by the Miliedgeville Brass Band, followed by prayer by Rev. R. W. Bigliam, pastor of the M. E. Church in this city. AUer Uitusinging of a hymn by the choir, composed of tlie best and sweetest singers from tlie several churches in this city, tlie distinguished divine, Doctor Campbell, of Columbus, Ga., addressed the audience from the following text: Romans, chap. V, verse 2.—“Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.” The sermon was able, earnest and elo quent. The preacher has an attractive face and graceful delivery. He seemed to possess in no small degree a peculiar magnetic power that belongs to great ora tors; his audience were charmed—every body listened. We give a brfef synopsis: Ho said: Ko important is tho education of youth that, if need be, every luxury and even many of the comforts of life should be sacrificed for its accomplishment. But no degree of mental culture can bring hap piness to the human heart, nor maintain good order in society, nor prepare the soul for the great Hereafter. The knowledge of Jesus has justly been called the great est of sciences. Its benefits are presented to us in the text as present aud prospec tive. It silences the fear of penalties for sin; it assures us of acceptance with God as welcome worshipers and honored ser vants wiiose petitions are favorably re garded, whose offerings are approved and rewarded; it brings us into the enjoyment of Divine Love, which as far exceeds the most generous principle of the human breast as tlie warmth of the summer sun surpasses the frigid iceberg of the north ern seas; it makes us heirs of all the promises of God concerning His grace and tlie dispensations of Providence, which promises are adapted to all the changes of life and can never fail of fulfillment. Looking out into the unexplored future, to the Judgment Day, when God will ex hibit all Ids perfections in the presence of his intelligent creatures, we rejoice be cause of tiie sublimity then to be witness ed, because we will be perfectly secure amid all the events of that solemn day; because of the person who is then to be glorified, and because we are to be parta kers of his glory. Jn conclusion the students of the college were exhorted to be diligent in Improving their educational opportunities, and espe cially to make sure of the favor of God, that in coming years they may not lack the consolation of his grace and the guid ance of his hand, and when fife is finished may enter into the joys prepared for the servants of the King. At the close of the sermon and music by the choir, Rev. A. J. Beck, pastor of the Baptist church in this city, offered prayer. The venerable and lovable Chancellor Mell, tiie head of the State’s great univer sity, then arose and pronounced tlie bene diction. It is calculated that the picture in the Meistonier exhibition at Paris, for which the artist received, say, $250,000, would re alize to-day $2,500,000. We should like to know who the artist was, and what the picture represented. If one can penetrate the sanctuaries of art in ancient Greece and Rome, or all the modern schools, and paint the most exqui site creations of man, or woman, or nature in its sublimest and most gorgeous halls, we cannot conceive how it would ever be worth $2,500,000. Monday, June 30th. The day was not aright, and threatening rain caused many to deny themselves the pleasures of the exercises at the College, yet the chapel was well filled with a fine audience. The exercises opened with prayer, by Rev. Doctor Campbell. Cadet Rockwell, declaimed on the “Death of Jackson." A grand subject and hand somely illustrated by the young man. “Trouble in the “Amen Corner” was re cited by Miss Nora Ennis. This was as sweet as ‘ Coming through the Rye,” and so pleasantly rendered. “A Hundred Years lienee,” declama tion, by Cadet Hardeman, carried us back, but did not mar the pleasure of the “Hence” a hundred years from now, when we hope to be “that” and meet the young man, in peace and pleasantness. Thtrpoor, unfortunate, lovely Queen of Scotland, Mary, was recited of, by Miss Florrie Cook, and most charmingly. We were peculiarly pleased with this recita tion. The story of the Shamrock, by Miss Eva Supple, called to mind the “unfortunate Isle,” tho itome of brave hearts, but oppressed by the rule of tlie sword. Per haps the time will come when In this glo rious Isle, tho pen will be mightier than the sword. We hope so.

Warthen, and we learn are well adapted to our soil. An Athens girl recently said in her grad uating essay that “all of tiie good boys die young-George Washington being the only exception to the rule.” If the boys who grew up were all like George Wash ington, the sweet girl graduate might complain of the commencement notices. Athens girls, of course, always exceptions, Atlanta has developed a new Lula Hurst in the person of Mrs. C. F. Coleman, wife of the Superintendent of the cotton facto ry. I was invited to witness a demonstra tion of her powers at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association rooms. She has the same range of power that Miss Hurst lias, and seems to be fuliy equal to her. RICHMOND IN ClIRON. AND CON. Rome, Ga., June 25.—R. I. & t'. B. Har grove, bankers, failed to-day.

Col Lamar, of the Telegraph .t Messen ger,on Sunday, makes this honorable com ment on the greatest man Georgia has at the front to-day: Wa have not and do not admire the po litical methods of Guv.

We have re gretted that his open and direct methods in Washington have hot been duplicated in Georgia, and that for this reason he lias estranged and driven away those who have upheld him in the right. The Telegraph and Messenger is un der no obligations of any character to Gov. Brown, nor does lie owe it anything further than that, it has treated him al ways as an opponent who tights on open ground and does not resort to falsehood to sustain himself or to injure others. HANCOCK. From tlie Ishmreiite. Sparta will have a good delegation in attendance at commencement in Millodge- ville next week. Rev. Mr. Morris, of Baldwin county, was in Sparta on Sunday last, and after tlie eleven o’clock service at theBaptist church he gave tho congregation a very interest ing talk in the interest of the endowment of Mercer University. Miss Anna Belle Northen, a member of the graduating class of the Southern Fe male Ctllego,of LaGrange, la9t week was awarded the gold medal in each of the fol lowing classes: Geology. Astronomy, Bel- les-letters and Trigonomrety, four in all. Old Hancock feels proud to claim Miss Northen as her daughter and extends to tho fair one her hearty congratulations for the victories she has just won in thus hon oring hetself, her parents and her county. WILKINSON. From tho Southerner. Mrs. B. F. Bloodworth is dead. B. W. Scott, Hie famous sewing ntachino agent, passed through Irwinton Monday en route for tho wiregrass country with a raft of machines, of the Wheeler & Wilson brand. Mr. Scott tarried long enough in our town to knock the ennui out of some or our chronic citizens, and make them believe that “it is better to laugh titan be sighing” while plodding over the ruts of this mundane sphere. In faet, Scott is a thinker as well as a talker, and never fails to say something when he speaks. Our frow, who is an intense and “expres sive” lecturer at home, has a very inter esting class of little girls and boys in the Methodist Sunday-school. Aside from their regular lessons, she “lectures them,” too, aud asks them once in a while various simple questions pertaining to tho Diety; as for instance, she propounded the follow ing question to one of the little boys: “What are you made out of?” to which he promptly replied; “J am made out of meat aud bread, and greens, and biscuit, and fried chicken.” From the Herald. Watermelons aro coming In, and so is Western corn. The first is a good sign, the latter a bad one. Chicken thieves are again putting in their work. Some graceless experts rob bed tho roost of the pa6tor of the Meth odist church here of several spring chick ens last week. No honor among such thieves as these. What a dastardly theft!

Madam Rumor lias it that Hon. W. J. Northen of Hancock will be president of the next Senate, and Hon. W. H. Felton of Bartow, speaker of the next House. Isn’t this a little “too previous?” They are both good men, and men of ability, but neither or them has been elected yet, and both may be dead before the next legisla ture assembles, and other able men may stand for these positions at a proper time, and be elected. GEN. LOGAN S ACCEPTANCE. Tlie Committee Apprise I.ogun Nomination. [Telegraphed to the Associated Press.] Washington, June 24.—Tlie committee charged by tho National convention with the duty of formally notifying tlie candi dates for President and Vice-President of their nomination, today called upon Gen. Logan to finish up their labor. Gen. Lo gan received them in his pat lor. Mrs. Lo gan who was the only lady present, stood opposite, her face radiant and her head nodding In unison with the emphasized parts of a' complimentary speech delivered by Chairman Henderson. General Logan’s speecli of acknowledge ment was short, and he said he would not “detain the committee with words which properly belong to the official utterances of a letter of acceptance. 1 may be permit ted to say, however, that though I did not seek the nomination of Vice-President, 1 accept it as a trust reposed in me by the Republican party, to the advancement of whose broad policy, on all occasions con nected with tho progress of our govern ment and our people, I have dedicated my best energies and with this acceptance I may properly signify my approval of tiie platform of principles adopted by the con vention.” Tiie Mexican Pension bill pass ed the Senate on the 24th. It gave a pension of eight dollars to the survivors of the Mexican war. Senator (Cerrogordo) Williams of Kentucky, in a speech of great energy and warmth, said, it was a disgrace to the nation. Among the various bills passed in the House was that of the Electoral count bill. ELECTORAL COUNT BILL. The electoral count bill which passed the House to-day was re ported by Mr. Eaton from the House Committee on tlie law re lating to the election of President aud*Vice-President, as a substitute for the bill introduced in tlie Sen ate by Mr. Hoar, and which pass ed that body in July. It Pro vides for a joint session of the two houses of Congress for the count ing of the votes, and that such joint convention shall not be dis solved until the count shall have been completed and the result de clared. It also provides that any recess which the joint convention may take while the vote is being counted, shall not be for a longer time than one callendar day, and that after the first succeeding the beginning of the court no further recess shall be taken until the count has been completed and the result declared. It provides that in case of an objection to the counting of the vote of any State and in case more than one return shall have been received from the State the question in the first instance of the counting of the vote of that State, and the sec ond of which return shall be received and counted shall be submitted to the joint convention by the presiding officer, and that three hours having been allowed if necessary for debate a vote shall then be taken per capita, com mencing with the State of Ala bama, and the convention shall thus decide the question. These provisions, with respect to the settlement of questions concern ing tlie reception and counting of the vote of a state in cases of ob jection, or of more than one set of returns, constitute the princi pal difference between the Hoar bill aud the substitute adopted by the House. The Hoar bill provides that in such cases the two houses, acting separately, shall concurrently determine tho question. We ilo hereby certify that we supervise the arrangements for all the Monthly and Semi- Annual Drawings of The Louisiana State lotte ry Company, and in person manage and control the Drawings themselves, ami that tlie same are conducted with honesty, fairness, and in good faith toward all parties, and we autjionze the Company to use this ccrtlBcatc, with fac similes or our signatures attached, in its advertise- raents." -- The Chinese Attack on the French.—Paris, June 2G.—A dis patch from Hanoi states that 4,000 Chinese regulars, who were provided with artillery, had en trenched themselves at Langson in violation of the treaty, and attacked tho French forces on Monday, as they were on the march, killing seven and wounding forty-two. General Negrier at once set out with reinforcements. Gen. Millot telegraphs that the French troops numbered 700 men and were on their way to Langson, though so greatly outnumbered they routed the Chinese. Among those lost by the French were two officers.

What is Nickel I Since the convenient five cent ooin which in common talk is called ‘ ‘ a nickel,” has come into general circula tion, tlie question above is asked, either mentally or orally, hundreds of times every day, and but few get an intelligent answer. In China and India, a white copper, called pack-tong, has long been known and has been extensively used both there and in Europe for counterfeit ing silver coin. About the year 1700 a peculiar ore was discovered in the copper mines of Saxony which had tho apjiear- ance of being very rich, but in smelting, it yielded no copper, and tho miners calle" called it kupfer-nickel, or false copper. In 1754, Cronstadt announced tho dis covery of a new metal in kupfer-nickel, to which ho gave the name of nickel. It was in combination with arsenic from which he could relieve it only in part. The alloy of nickel and arsenic which ha obtained was white, brittle, very hard and had a melting point nearly as high as cast-iron. It was not until 182fi that pure nickel was obtained by analysis of German silver which had for a uumlier of years, been produced at Suhl in Saxony. Its composition was ascertained to bo copper 10 parts, zinc 5, and nickel 4. If more nickel be used tho alloy is as white as silver and susceptible of a very high polish, but becomes too brittle and bard to lie hammered or rolled, and can be worked only by casting. Pure nickel is a white metal with a tarnish readily in the air. Unlike silver, it is not acted on by the vapor of sulphur, and even tho strong mineral acids attract it but slightly. Nickel lias tho hardness of iron and like it, lias strong rnagnot'us ] r jperties, but cannot be welded and is soldered with difficulty. Pure nickel lias heretofore been used chiefly for plating, for which purpose its hardness and power to resist atmospheric influ ences, admirably adapt it. Within tho last year, tho French have succeeded in rolling the metal into plates from which spoons and other table furniture may bo pressed. Nickel bronze, which consists of equal parts of copper and nickel, with a little tin, may be cast into very delicato forms, aud is susceptible of a high polish. Mines of nickel are worked at Chatham, Conn., and Lancaster, Pa., and it is said to be found at Mine Le Motte, Mo., and at several points in Colorado, and New Mexico, where but little attention is paid to it. It is extensively mined in Saxony and in Sweden, but the late discovery of a new ore (a silicate of nickel) in New •ill i Caledonia will probably supersede all tho other ones. Tlie inexhaustible supply of this ore, the ease with which it can be smelted and the richness of the oro Mill probably suspend the use of tho arsenical ores, and yet bring nickel into common use. Switzerland, in tho yea? 1852, made a coin of German silver, which is identical in composition with our nickel coin. Tho United States made nickel cents in 185G, and eight rears later, coined the five cent pieces. ’Belgium adopted nickel coinage in 18G0 and Germany in 1873. England lias lately coined nickel pennies for Jamaica, but at home she and France adhere to the clumsy copper small change. PALMER’S Pe-fumes. EXQUISITE. PALMER'S Toilet SoaDS. LOVELY.

Saw dusterine, s irs the A orthwextern Lumberman, is to'lie discounted by a French chemist, who does not think its adaptability :es au article of diet equal to its importance to dyers and chemists. M. Janssen thinks Minneapolis is tho best place to munuracturo an acid now wholly imported from France, which can lie obtained in endless quantities from fine sawdust. II< >w line the dust must bo he docs not inform the public; but liis enterprise will be of value to the sawdust world if it only leads to the use of thin ner saws in the manufacture of lumber. Bay City also finds a mysterions-looking building going up on the banks of tho Saginaw, opposite “the metropolis of the valley,” in building which the utmost secrecy has been observed. . No ono knows whether it is 1 H-ing erected to ex tract acid from sawdust or bisiR'.Uh from salt bitterns. No doubt its projectors expect to find “ millions in it ” whatever the purpose to which it is destined. This is an era of progress. Hiram Smith, of Flint, Mich., turns the smoke of char coal burning into acetic acid, and finds the smoke of more value than the char coal. A patent has recently been taken out for window shutters in wliich paste board is substituted for wood; tlie slats and panels may l>e covered with orna mental paper aud painted or stamped in imitation of ms si of any grain or pat tern. Wooden pails arc being superseded by those male <>f paper, while paper moldings and pajier ornaments aro pressed into sha[>es and sizes and for purposes where but a short time ago elaborate carvings and the skill of tho artist was all necessary. And now comes acid from sawdust. Whether to be used as a substitute for tea and coffee, or to manufacture tlie beautifully tinted lemonade which is such a favorite with lovesick swains at the annual circiis, de ponent saith not; perchance it is to ttu^o the place of the beverage which inebriates more than it cheers, in which case Min neapolis is not a bad choice for a location for its manufacture, provided certain o its mill men do not take too much stocK in it, payable in sawdust.
