There was no hair on the child's head, which was covered instead with a thick scab, which extended over his face and into his eyes. When about one year old I commenced using your Skin Cure, having bought it at ilynes' Maple City Drug Store. After using three bottles theehild's hair is Snely grown, having been shingled, once, and the child's health is otherwise much improved. I think it my duty to let you know the facts. MRS.

Introduced this country but a comparatively short time since. to meet the great demand for a pure, safe and perfect family medicine, they have rapidly in- creased In favor, until they are, without question, the most popular and valuable medicine known.

I Its world-wide renown Is not due to the advertising It has received; it is famous by reason of its In- herent virtues. It does all that Is claimed for It. It discharges its curative powers without any of the evil effects of other bitters or medicine, being perfectly safe and harmless for the most frail woman, sraailest child and weakest Invalid to use. Few are the homes Indeed where the great discovery has not already been hailed as a deliverer and welcomed as a friend. It does what others affect to do.

Comjiosed of simple materials. It Is a marvel of delicate and successful combination. Nothing is wanting. Every Ingredient goes straight to the mark at which it Is aimed, and never falls.

W. H. SOMERS, Receiver. The best smoktaj tobacco is "Little Jokr." I I it, ill Local and Otherwise. A Forgotten Book.

The word 13 still occasionally usad in the newspapers as descriptive of some individual's manner; and most people understand that there is or was once, some connection between politeness and Lord Chesterfield, yet we have never succeeded in finding, in any Kansas public library, the once famous letters of Lord Chesterfield to his son. The son turned out a blockhead, and it seems a pity that the letters which failed of their intended effect, on account of the stupidity of the person to whom they were addressed, should now lie lost to the world on account of the forgetfulness and decay which befall books, as they do all other earthly things with very few exceptions. Dr. Johnson said of the "Letters," Take out of them the immoralitr and tlify lie in the hands of every gen- 41 1 .1 1 remiims us uuu, uui- withstanding what Dr. Johnson, who was i.

1 aU3ln" Ju miwli lite other mon in bis nrartire mil the "immorality" ot the book, it would be a iroocl Plan for the book committee of our public library to procure somewhere Chesterfield's "Letters," in order that our young people may know what a man of great mental powers; familiar with the best and most eminent society of his time, regarded in the year of grace 1771, as a gentleman. Newspapers are. burdened just now with the "dude," but we hear precious little about the gentleman. It would be interesting if some newspaper should offer a prize for the best definition of the word "gentleman," and that other word that goes with it, "lady." We imagine there would be a gsoat variety of answers. "We are all very much at sea in the matter.

We saw on the-wall ot a little hotel in Topeka, the other day, "Wanted, a Lady Cook," and everybody who rode by in the street car smiled, but it would have troubled the passengers to tell why, in this republican countv, a cok may not be a lady, and why tbe hotel man could not with propriety have called for "a gentleman to black boots." The newspapers pursue the "dude" with stivasms, and urge fathers and brothers to cowhide the "masher," and yet there are many young women who think that a "masher" is "so nice," and are certain that a "dude" is a high type of gentleman. Lord Chesterfield had certain definite ideas as to what constituted a gentleman. That was a century ago, and time manners and men have greatly changed since then, but still it would be interesting lor the bright young people of Atchison who frefjuent the Public Library, to look over the book, which imperious and rough-mannered, yet wise and honest old Sam. Johnson said should be "in the hands of every gentleman," and when they have compared the Hon. Phillip Dormer Stanhope's ideal gentleman with the modern article, who goes nnder the name, we will cheerfully give room for their "Notes and Opinions' on the subject.

tSprins Poetry. It is the custom of most well, or ill-regulated papers, to open up early in December on the man who refers to the "Beautiful Snow," and early in April the editor lavishes his sarcasms on the "Spring poet. TheGreeuleaf Independent departed this year from the time-honored precedent, and offered a year's subscription to the paper and, Shakspeare in one volume for the best poem on "Spring," and the successful poem is published this week. It is a Washington county production all home made written by a lady, and, presumably, a young lady, is correct as to metre, and is really poetic in sentinidiit. The editor has done well has followed the advice of the saleratus advertiser, to "get the best," and needs no more, foi this Spring, at least.

But there is no sense or taste, we may add, in the outer- against "Spring poetry." Spring has formed a theme for the greatest poets, and also the worst, "John Phenix," whose effusion is resurrected' fri.m the slumber of years, in the Troy Chief of this week, in hich the bard, after reproaching Spring for her tardiness.

How to Make It. The colored people held a meeting, last night, to take into consideration the political and social situation, and devise, as we understand it, some means for the dissemination of political intelligence among the colored people. A meeting of the sort could do no harm, but, strictly speaking, it was not necessary-. The colored voter has no interest differing from those of the white voter. The same qualities which make a good white voter make a good black voter; same ear marks which distinguish a mean, despicable and hell-deserving white voter, are visible in the same grade of black voter.

The road to social and political elevation is the same only, perhaps, the black man has farther to go than the white voter, because the latter started first, but the general direction is the same. The first thing to get hold of is intelligence. Itr is necessary to know something to vote properly. Repugnant as the doctrine may be, we must insist on it Of course a man am vote who don't know the letter from an ox yoke who don't know enough to pour rain water out of a boot without chopping the toe off; but he is not a very elegant or impressive article of voter. He can be led up to the polls by somebody who knows a little more than he does, and drop his vote into the box, and a jackass could be trained to do the same thing, but that style of voter is not in active demand in a decent country.

The way to gain intelligence is not by standing on a corner and listening tn some ignoramus telling how much he don't know, but by reading what the most intelligent men of the country have to say. The first and handiest thing to read is They are plenty and they are cheapo there are very few colored men in this town so poor that they cannot take starvation of several places where mean whiskey and "craps" is the object of the daily and nightly meetings, rather than polititical and social elevation of the colored race in the city and county of Atchison. This is our contribution tothe cause. A Vexed Clergyman.

I notice in The Daily Champion of the 2d a challenge purporting to come from the Effingham choir, said to be under the leadership of Prof. V. C. Herron as chorister. Whoever the writer of this challenge may be, he knew when he wrote it he was lying, wilfully and maliciously.

He knew that I am not the leader nor chorister of the Effingham choir, nor yet a professor of any kind, and that the Effingham choir never, by word or action, or in any other manner, had offered a challenge to any choir or anybody else. The writer ought to know that, in attempting to perpetrate a slur on decent people, he is but making himself a contemptible ass. He ought to know that the Editor of The Champion does not wish to lend the columns of his paper for any such purpose, and that when he gets such misrepresentations inserted, he does it by fraud and imposition. The Effingham choir is composed of a large number of respectable people, who do not wish to be misrepresented by some one who displayed less sense than Baalam's ass, and less moral rectitude than an Apache Indian.

We All Believe That it is a long lane that has no turning; that many a shaft at random sent, finds a mark the archer little meant; that no remedy sold will cure coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and all throat and lung troubles so quickly nor permanently as Dr. Bigelow's Positive Cure; that our druggists, Taylor fc are very generous to give trial bottles of this remedy free of charge. A Singular Death. We regret to announced that a great clond of sorrow rests like a pall over the homo of our esteemed fellow townsman E.

S. Wills Esq. Death is painful in all seasons, but when it comes in the spring time, just as the leaves and blossoms are unfolding, and the air is vocal with the sweet song of birds, it is doubly distressing. This time the dread visitor has taken one near aud dear to all ci the family. Their good old cow is no more.

It is the house cleaning season, as all men know, and the cow in browsing among some odds and ends that had been placed outside in the air, devoured a pail of nails and a finger ring. We have heard of rings leading too confiding females into difficulties, but never before of a cow done to death in this melancholy way, and in expressing our sympathy with the afflicted family, we suggest that in future the ring, which was promptly recovered by a post mortem examination, be hung on a nail during the house cleaning season or locked up in the bureau, lest another unsuspecting booine may be destroyed by its fatal charm. It might be advisable also to put the nails, if they must have air, under a tub, and lay a rock on the bottom thereof. We All Know That water never runs up hill that kisses taste better than they look, and are better after dark; that it is better to be right than to be left; and those who take Dr. Jones' Red Clover Tonic never have dyspepsia, costiveness, bad breath, piles, pimples, ague and malaria diseases, poor appetite, low spirits, headache or diseases of Kidney and Bladder.
