rjIHE GREAT WONDER
OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY,
PROFESSOR WOOD’S
KAIH RESTORATIVE.,
Says the Bt. Louis (Me.) Democrat: Below, we pub*
lish a letter to Br Wood of this city, from a gentlemao
In Maine, which speaks glowingly of the suporior
merits of his hair tonic, finch evidence most have its
effeot, when coming from a reliable source. If certifi
cates are guarantees fif truth, the Br. needs no enco
miums, nor useless puffery from the press:
; Blth, Maine, Jan. 20,1868.
Professor 0. J. Wood kCo .—Gentlemen: Having my
attention called a few months since to the highly bene*
fio ( al effects of your Hair Restorative, I was induced to
make application of it upon myown hair, which had be
come quite gray, probably one-third white; my whis
kers were-of same character. Some, three months since
I procured a bottle of your hair restorative, and used
it; I soon found it was proving what I had wished. I
used it about twice a week. I hare stnoe procured
another botUe, of whloh I have used some. I can now
eerily to the world that the gray or white hair has to
tally disappeared, both on my head and face and my
hair has resumed its natural color, and I believe more
soft end glossy than it bee been before for twenty-flve
years. lam now sixty years old; my good wire at the
age of fifty-two, has used it with same effect.
The above notice I deem due to you lor your Yalqable
discoveiy. lam assured that whoever will rightly use,
as per directions, will not have occasion to contra*
diet my statements. lam a citizen of this city, and a
resident here for the last fifteen, years, and am known
to nearly every one here and adjoining towns. Any uw.
jqu may make of the above, with my name attached, fs
at tout service, as I wish to preserve the beauties of
nature la others as well as myself. lam truly, yours,
a. o. Raymond.
Baltimorb, Jan. 39,1859.
WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE!
Professor Wood— Dear Sir .* Having had the misfor
tune to lose the best portion of my hair, from the effeots
of the yellow fever, in New Orleans, in 1861, I was in*
duoed to make a trial of your preparation, and found it
to answer as the very thing needed. My hair is now.

Mayors, Aldermen, and Sheriffs.
1 Among other the United
States have imitated from “ the Old country,”
the municipal Is not the’least important.
Municipal Corporations, In Europe, are not
confined to the British dominions. They, are
to be found, in various forms and under dif
ferent names, all over Germany and France,
and it may be remembered that, in the first
French Revolution, Baxlli, Maire of Paris,
was a very prominent character, on the- popu
lar side. He paid the usual penalty of tho
time, and was guillotined. Lord Byron .has
adopted, for Marino Faliero, a reply which
Bailli made on the acafTold. An enemy, who
maliciously watched his bearing, and would
gladly have detected .fear, Baid, “Youtrem-.
bio?” Baidu’s answer was, “ ’Tis with
cold, then.” ; , . ’ '
In England, as in some cities of tho Union*
there'are Aldermen, as well as Mayors, jln
London alone, eyory Alderman is a magistrate,
exojicto . Tho Municipal Corporatione’ Re
form Bill of 1884 deprived the Aldermen in
other cities and boroughs of all judicial func
tions, The Common Council is elected first,
and the Aldermen are nominated by the Coun
cil. A ludicrous instance of tho folly of this
system occurred at Liverpool, on tho first
election of the Municipal body, after the pass
ing of the Act, which abolished the old body
and manufactured their successors* The .town
was divided into Wards, represented, In 1 the
Common Council by forty-eight inhabitants,
chosen by popular election. It happened that
tho conservative candidates wero beaten at the
polls very decidedly—completely, in fact, as
Jehu Glanoy Jones, Porter, and that crowd
were beaten, in our Keystone State, the other
day* Out of forty-oight candidates only threo
were.elected* When the new Council met,
the first act of the majority was to nominate
sixteen Alderman, one for each Ward, and the
forty-five showed at once their partisan feel
ings and respect for public opinion, by select
ing, at the head of the list, as “ the most de
sartless men,” the very three whom three
Wards had rejected. As was sharply said, at
the time, they weio made Aldermen because
they were so unpopular that the Wards would
not accept them in tbe inferior capacity of
Gouncitmen. *bhey were judged, by tbe elec
tors, to be unworthy of public confidence for
three years, in the Council, and were therefore
chosen by that (Jouncit for six years as Alder
men i
In London, ono Aldenaan is olected, by
“ the Livery,” to preside over the delibera
tions of each Ward. Every AldeVman is a
magistrate, and holds bis office for life. The
“ Lively” consist of all persons belonging to
one or other of the Companies of the city of
London*. They are. called the freemen, and
hare exclusive right of voting at all municipal
elections in London proper, which contains
a resident population of about 160,000,
though, with the addition of Westminster, the
great district on the opposite Surrey-side of
the Thames, and the environs which have be
come port and parcel of the metropolis, the
present population of the British capital ex
ceeds 2,600,000.
There are two Sheriffs of London, annually
early in September—one, with senior
standing, is Sheriff London, the other, She.
riff of Middlesex. The emoluments, which
may average about $40,000 a year, are exclu.
sively the property of the ,two lawyers, - who
pGrform the legal duties of under- (
Sheriffs, each giving heavy bonds to his prin.
cipal. Indeed, the. Shrievalty is very often
shunned or shirked. The duties draw a man
away Arom his business for a whole year, and
the expenses are heavy. A Sheriff must
have a richly-decoratod State Carriage, drawn
by four horses, and a large retinue of men.
servants, in liveries actually stiff with gold
lace. He must also have a private carriage,
with driveT and two footmen, in plainer livery,
for that. He pays one half the expense of the
Sheriffs* inaugural dinner, and one fourth of
the cost of the Lord Mayor’s great Guildhall
feast, on the ninth of November. Until 1762,
when tho alteration of the stylo took place*
the Lord Mayor’s Feast took place «on the
morrow after Simon and Jude,” which was
the 29th of October. Such was tho practice
fVom the year 1216. when King John first
granted a Mayor to London, stipulating that,
before inauguration, he should be presented,
for approval, either to the King or to his Jusi
tice at Westminster. This is the origin of tho
Lord Mayor’s Show, on the day of the Civic
Feast, but always before it takes place.
Bach Sheriff’s share of tho Foast would
cost him $5,000 j half of his own inaugural
breakfast and dinner, $2,600; other expenses
of office, including donations to civic charities,
at least $7,600 more. No wonder, then, that
the office is shunned by saving, prudent, or
unambitious “ citizens” of London. It is not
compulsory on any citizen—but if he decline
to serve, after being elected, ho must pay a
fine of $2,600 to tho city, on which another
election takes place. Of late years, tho cus
tom has been not to propose any man for
Sheriff, unless it bo ascertained that, if elected,
he will fill the office.
So many, however, are anxious to obtain
tho expensive honor of the Shrievalty, that
there is no lack of candidates—whose names
are never put up as candidates. Contests for
the Shrievalty are rare. The Lord Mayor
usually suggests one “ citizen,” and the Com
mon Connell agree upon another.
The ambitious points to be achieved by a
Sheriff are twofirst, it is a stepping-stone to
the aldermanic gown, and secondly, no one
can be Lord Mayor until he has first been
Sheriff. It does not follow that a man must
bo Sheriff before he becomes Alderman. In
deed, one of the newly-chosen Sheriffs for tho
year commencing on November 9th, is Aider
man Hale. n
PATENT LEATHER,
The mode ol election la the same, on a
somewhat minor scale, as that of Lord Mayor.
On Michaelmas day (SeptemDer 29) the elec,
tion of.Lerd Mayor Invariably takes place.
On tho occasion, last passed, Mr. Alderman
Wire was chosen Lord Mayor. Ho is an am
bitions, undersized man, with red hair and a
perpetual smirk. He is a lawyer, of the firm
of Wire & Guilds, professional advisers of
the gin and beer sellers of London, whom he
always speaks of as “ tho licensed Witicra’
Hass-ociation.” When Sheriff, from his
pugnacious temperament, and an odd
habit of stooping forward, With his
bands thrust under his coat tails, he boro
the sobriquet of “the bantam-cock of the Cor
poration.” Ho perpetually boasts of his pre
sent wealth and his original lowly origin, and
has suffered the mortification of being repeat,
edly badly beaten, in his native town, in par
liamentary contests. We shall have an op.
portunity, by and by, of mentioning the
quaint formalities with which Lord Mayor and
Sheriffs of London are respectively elected.
We add, (for the especial delectation of tho
Boston Courier, which so much oniogizos the
wearing of tho flunkey-livery in question,)
that at theso elections tho Lord Mayor, Alder
men, Recorder, and Sheriffs wear Oourt-suits,
with lace frills and swords, also having scarlet
or black robes, (according to their status,)
and each bearing a huge nosegay, somewhat
smaller than a churn.
On the last day of September a very peculiar
ceremony annually occurs in the Court of Ex.
chequer, at Westminster. The proceedings
on the occasion just passed may be briefly de
scribed i —a breakfast in Tallew Chandlers’
Hall, the Alderman-Sheriff belonging,to that
company, given by tho Sheriffs to the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, and officers of tho corpora
tion. After this, the goodly oompany went
to the Mansion House, (the residence of the
Lord Mayor,) where the loading officials wore
scarlet or violet, or black robes—according to
rank—and black Court dress, the Lord Mayor
wearing his “ collar of S.S.” a golden orna
ment weighing about three pounds, Then,
ENGRAVING
MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1858.
a grand .civic procession, through « the City,”
under the Templo-bar, along the Strand, and
down Parliament street to Westminster Hall,
where, says the newspaper report:
, “It was met bv the High Constable of West*
minster, who oonauoted it to the entrance of the
Court of Exohequer, the precession dividing and
falling back upon - eaoh side,, so as to allow the
Lord Mayor, with, tho Sword (Mr. Sewell) and
M&oe (Mr. Beddome), to pass between them into
oourt, and present himself before the Chief Baron.
“The Lord Mayor took his stand within the
bar, in front of the Court, with tbe Recorder on
his left hand, the Benior Sheriff (Alderman .Hale)
on his right hand, and (ho junior Sheriff (Deputy
Conder) on the Recorder’s left hand; the Sword
on the Benior Sheriff’s right hand, and tbe Maoe
on the janior Sheriff’s left hand, the other seats
within the bar • being occupied by the Aldermen,
and the seats below the bar by the Town Clerk
and other officers of the corporation, tbe reßpoolive
oorapanies of the Sheriffs being arranged on eaoh
side of the Ooqrt.
“The Lord Mayor, remaining covered, then
math three obehances, the Sheriffs doing the
same, at each of which the Chief Baron, who
wore hia scarlet robes , took off his hat, and the
Lord Mayor lifted his hat in return v
This wearing of hats, and making obeisan
ces, and lifting of hats, has been the practice
in London for over 800 years, and the Lord
Mayor who should omit or alter a tittle of the
ceremonial would be the object of terrible
denunciation from every “ livery-man of-the
good city of London.”
Those chremonialß ended, the Recorder of
London, who takes rank, as a judge, immedi
ately next to the Queen’s legal barons and jus
tices, formally presented the two Sheriffs to
Chief Baron Pollock, separately eulogising
them. What follows is too good to be lost,
so we annex it in fall:—
The chief baron briefly expressed her Majesty’s
approval of the ohoioe of tbe livery, and expressed
his own opinion that the sheriffs would duly and
.honorably discharge tbe duties of their office.
The varioui warrants connected with tbe accept
ance of office by the present sheriffs and the retire
ment of their’ predecessors were then read, and
duly filed and rcoorded.
Tho common orier of the oourt then made the
following proclamation“ Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! > Te
nants and occupiers of a piece of waste land called
tbe Moors, in tho county of Salop, come forth and
do your seryioe upon pain and poril that shall fall
thereon.”
Then Aldorman Garter, the senior alderman
below the chair, took two sticks from a bundle
lying before him on the table, one of whioh he out
with a batohet, and the other with a bill-hook.
The orior of the oourt then m <de a second pro
clamation as follows: —Oyea! Oyez! Oyez t Ten
ants and occupiers of a certain tenement oalled the
Forge, in the parish of St. Olement Danes, Middle
sex, come forth and do your service.”
Then the same Alderman oouhted some horse
shoes lying before him, and was questioned by tho
Queen's Remembrancer thus:
Remembrancer.— How many have you ?
Alderman.—Six ehoeg.
Then the Alderman counted the nails.
Remembrancer— How many have you?
Ax,dbr)j.an.—Sixty one.
Rbhbhbrancxr —That is a good number.
Tbe Recorder then invited the Chief Baron to
dine with the Sheriffs.
The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs bowed again as on
entering the court, the hats were lifted as before,
and tbe procession, en quitting the court, returned
to the city.
How or when tho extraordinary ceremonial
of chopping sticks and counting horse-shoes
and nails originated seems lost in obscurity*
« The waste land called the Moors” was held,
no doubt, by the feudal tenure of chopping
and counting, but when the Corporation ob
tained this land, when commenced this custom,
no one seems to know. It is a record curious
and amusing enough to be placed before 'our
readers*
From Lake Superior.
[Correspondence ot TbePreaa.]
City of Buperior, Lake Superior, )
October 10, 1858. )
Mr. Editor: A large meeting of the Democrats
of Bougies county couvenod at the School House,
Monday evening. October sth, and nominated a
county ticket to be supported by the party on the
second day of November next. About one hundred
and twenty votes were polled, which yon will agree
with me is very well for a young town, only sur
veyed about four years ago, in what was then a
•thick forest. Tnework.on the military road to
Bt.<Paul is getting along finely l-Jhere are oyer,
thirty hands employed, and./the contractors'are'
desirous of employing as many more, as they are
under bonds to oomplete the road in good stage
order to Crow Wing, on the Mississippi, by next
May or June. They contracted from Twin Lakes,
I believe, on tbe military road, and tbenoe to
open a now road .toward Crow Wing, for twenty
fire thousand dollars. Should this road bo in
stage order by the first of June, 1859, a grand ox
oursion pryty will be gotten np, and distinguished
guests, members of tbo press, eto., will bo trans
ported via steamboats on the lakes to the city of
Superior, and thenoe to Crow Wing, Sc. Paul, and
return via the Mississippi, the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne, and Chicago, and Pennsylvania Central
railroads. What a glorious pleasure trip! I pre
sume the inhabitants of Superior will get np a
greater excitement than their neighbors of 8t Paul
did at their great cable celobration. The city of
Superior will.have its hotels and private houses
thronged with strangers, and I hardly daro pro
phecy the patriotic speeches, libations, and gun
! powdor that will be expended. If ever a town was
well situated it is this one, at the head of Lake
Superior, and tbe furthest inland point accessible
for ooean vessels in this continent. Space does not
permit my giving full extracts from the speeoh of
an honorable Senator, delivered in 1825, in whfch
he prodioted that the Northwest would never be set
tled. In regard to the Territory of Oregon, hesaid:
“ But is this Territory over to beoome a State, a
member of this Union? Never! The Union Is
already too extensive . [Thero were at this time
twouty-four States.] Every member of Congress
ought to see his constituents year, and it
would require to oome to the seat of Government
from Oregon and return—that is, at the rate mem
bers of Congress travel according to not
inoluding Sundays—five hundred and thirty-one
days! It would be more expeditious, however, to
oome by water around Cape Horn, or to pass through
Behring’s Straits to the Atlantic ocean, and so on
to Washington. It is true this passage is not yet
discovered, except on our maps; but it will be as
soon as Oregon shall be a State.” He also quoted
from Major Long’s desoriptlou of the country from
Council Bluff's to the Kooky Mountains, to show
that a oivUizod population could never be main
tained there. Ac These extracts serve to show
bow foolish politicians maybe who arc even called
statesmen. I will also add that many of tho so
oaltod geologists, who have issued copious folios
upon this country, and particularly around this
lake, are truly less reliable in their descriptions
thnn 1b the honorable Senator.

The St. Croix and Superior railroad was com
moused a few days sirioe at Hudson, near Bt. Paul.
This road has a laud grant of one million aoros to
eompleto it. Tho Minnesota and Northwest rail
road is now under oontraot for twonty miles
towards the head of Lake Buperlor; this will bo a
link in the Northern Paoiflo Railroad. Tho mail
arrives and departs tbrioo a week from St. Paul to
Superior; it will be oarried through.this winter in
Torty-elght hours. A telegraph oompany was
formed lately in St. Paul, to oonneot with La
Crosse; it is expeoted to be completed by tho first
of next yeer. The Minnesota Copper mine of Lako
Superior has deolared a semi-annual dividend ont
of the profits of 1857, of $9 per, share, or 18 por

net profits earned and divided among its stook
holdors from 1852 to 1857 inolasive

Opposing the Administration.
(From the OlcvoHnd Plalodealer Oct. 0 ]
If opposing Loeompton is opposing tho Adminis
tration, then tho Administration is opposed to it
self, for tho Administration acquiesced in tho Eng
lish bill, whioh was diametrically opposed to Lo
eompton. As well may it he charged that in
opposing tho issue of treasury notes, as reeom
mended by tho President, we are opposing the
Administration. Has it oomo to thiß. that a De
mocrat is not allowed to have any opinions of his
own! Bat, savs Leeompton, tho President allows
any latitude of opinion on other subjects; upon
this one alone doos ho demand unqualified submis
sion. Very well; nobody asked the President to
soleot this particular question ns a tost of fidelity to
him or his Administration. Ho onn make what
ever «srsonat issues he pleases, but polsiteaC
issues it is not in his powor to make. It takos
the Democracy of tho whole notion in Convention
assembled to do that If tho President is dis
posed to moke suoh personal issues pommel, ho
will force tho Democratic party to stick to their
prinotples end plntform, as laid down at Cincin

A Cheering Phase op Life-—lllustrative
iHomßßt.—We are accustomed to look upon mankind
as feeling and exhibiting somuefa the spirit of discon
tent, that when we stumble npon 'a purely hsnnr and
contented person, we feel so sensibly the contrast'pre
sented, that thought will, in spite of ail effort to'cou.
tool it. wander off in philosophical yet dreamy contem
plation of the caoaes which Contribute to ,the real en
joyments of life. Of true contentment, as a commodity
of every-day life, how little Is there to he found in the
, world, in ptoporUCn to .what there la and would be.
wore alt disposed, to look at their f«nqied hardships
wi'h the eye of reason and common sense; and of the
little which does exist, what a vast preponderance is
fouod among the lowly—the peasant, instead of the
peers—among tbo laboring classes, the mechanic* and
artisans of the land, who fulfil tbe Scriptural injunc
tion. “By, the sweat'of thy brow shalt thou, eirn
thy bread,” to the very letter thereof, rather than
among those who have been nursed In the downy Up or
affluence, and who h ire grows up among the luxuries
which wealth, with its powerful appliances, cah pro
cure,. Tbe hardy man who ohases tbe light-footed oha
moW over the sha*p cliffs and among the glaciers oMils
native mountains, and returns at eve to the humble
cab'n and the homely meal, cheered by the kind smiles
of one true heart/is far happier—moro content with hfs
lowly.lot than was e l erthe proud Gesier tipon his throne
atAltorf. Such nobility has no need of the crown Sod
sceptre_the glittering robes and glided bauble of yoy
*lty. Its greatest boon i« freedom, and liberty bears
with Jtfconteat—owning no master save Ho who rules
the Storm.
i “Oh! with what pride I used
To walk these hills, and look up to my God,
And biesa Him that it was se. It was tree— !
■ From end to end, from cliff to cliff, ’iw&g free !i
How happy was lin it then! I loved ]
Its very storms!” , -•
This homily was induced by a trifling incident, a’ few
mornings since, which occnrred at the steamboat Ipud
iog at the foot of Walnut street. Noticing among, the
crowd a bright-eyed, intelligent looking youth, with a
bundle of papers under bis arm. which he essayed anon
to dispose of at a penny and two pennie* each, we in
voluntarily interrogated ourflelf as to what were, pro
bably, the net profits of hts day’s sales, and sheer cn
noai’y prompted us to ask of this peripatetic vender of
the latest intelligence a reliable answer to the ones
tiou: “Well,” said he ‘‘ire hoy’em by the dozen,
and sometimes I make three.quarters, and sometimes
not more’n a half ” “But what do you do with this
money?” we ssked, wishing to find the fpea sesame
to the ambition sad energy of the tiny newsboy. “ Take
it heme and give it to mother, sir, and she keeps it for
me. I’re got most enough to buy me a new sun of
clothes, and—Just then the passenger rush se
parated us i but we could hear our lijtle friend of the i
prospective new suit shouting, “ Ledger; sir ? Forney’s
Frew—full account of the election—only two cents:”
and as long as we eould keep trace of his little form, as
it swayed to and fro amid the throng like a frail bark
on tbe ocean’s heaving surge, his shrill voice kept up
the cry, “i«fger, sir? Forney’s Frsss?—only;two
cents.” ..
There, indeed, had we seen content; but looking
srouod on the heterogeneous crowd, we could not dia
cover another instance. All were pushing, crowding,
jostling ea«h other, seemingly in a general infection of
ill temper. Some, perhaps, wereynerchants, who had
on sunken vessels, with so'insurance; some had
paper to meet, and were withoutthe fnnds to save their
credit; soma were disappointed in one thing, some in
Another; but none looked contented, satUfied with
things as they were'. We walked away more than ever
at ease about oar comparatively happy lot, resolved
that, with the next fit of “ the blues,” we would call
to mind the news-boy, with his new suit of clothes, in
conjunction with the Hoes, so apropos — '
“ Be still, sad heart, and cease repining:
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the commoa fate of all—
Into each life aome rain must fall.”
A Handsome Present.—The Good
Kngitie Company, of this city, are having made at the
establishment of Cornelius* Baker a handsome roll
frame, to be presented,to the Liberty Fire Company, of

stant habit of vexing him., Tj»e accused indignantly
denied the assertions of her lieg» lord, and called him
“ a falsehearted scoundrel" Quite a scene ensued,
marked by snr quantity of violent gesticulations on
both sides. Husband said that t“*e wife was very indo
lent, so much so thatthe fronts of bis shirts were bul
tooieea, and, consequently, she was not the wife of bis
bo*ora. A fresh outbreak occurred at this statement,
end, as newspapor writers sav, “ words came to blow*,”

effectually, in the ehort space of two moments, by "end

t'onal Guards, which could be d-newithoutraucb exer
