Kepnrntor CnpllH,
For restorinj hair upon bald heads (from whatever cause
it may have fallen out) and forcing a growth of hair upon
the face, it nas no equal. It will force the hrard to grow
upon the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or
hail upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few
ignnranl practitioners have Asserted thatlhere'ia nothing
mat win loree or hasten tne growtn oi ine nnir oi nrmu.
Their assertions are false, as thousands of living witnes
ses (from their own exierience) can hear witness. Hot
many will say. how aie we to distinguish the genuine
from the spurious? It certainly is difficult, as liine-tentlis
of the dillerent Preparations advertised for the hair and
heard are entirely worthless, and you may have already
thrown away lart;e amounts Ui their purchase. To such
we would say, try Hie Reoarntor Cappilli ; it will cost you
nothing unless it fully comes up to our representations. If
your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we
willforward it, postpaid, together with a receipt for the

MISCELLANEOUS.
Southern Views of Ilcconntruct Ion.
What the Newspapers Say.
Tho Richmond papers aro the moat dis
posed to make difficulty. The Examiner is
desperate. It says i
"It would delight tbe heart of the Repub
lican leaders to see every southern city in
flames, and every hearth desolate; every
southern parent and every southern child
Star vine, and the entire population given
over to the unbridled rage and passions
ot a drunken mob. That is vrnat Mr.
Stevens and Mr. Sumner, and Mr. Wilson,
and Mr. Shellaburgcr, and Mr. Wade
are laboring for, and have assiduously la
bored lor, for four years past."
The Lynchburg Virginian thus shows its
lack of confidence in northern copperheads
who threaten resistance:
"We have an indistinct recollection that
'aid and comfort1 of tbis same kind was
given to us six years ago by the false friends
who afterwards joined the Republicans in
hounding on tho war upon us. They were
going to do wonders. They declurcd that
the streets of New York would run with
blood ere an army should march from there
to invade the South. Hut it did march, and
John Cochran, Dan Sickles and many others
of these howling democrats marched with
it, and the New York World favored war
to the knife. Let the southern people be
warned."
The Wilmington bhpateh is in a heroic
vein. It says :
"We shall not advise the people of this
statu to dishonor themselves by calling an
assembly to ratify the proceedings of an un
lawful, unconstitutional body."
The Atlanta Opinion says :
"There is nothing more certain than the
private setiment of the country favors un
immediate anil full acquiescence in the plan
proposed in the Sherman substitute. The
people favor it as the best thing t hut can be
done. They are getting weary of this un
equal and fruitless coutebt. They are pet
ting tired of the confusion and uncertainty
growing out of further delay."
The Griffin Star says:
"Wo think for once 'Uncle Sandy' (Gover
nor Urown) is right. We agree with him
that if reconstruction is to come through
such a channel, let the 'so-called' loyal men
of tho South do tho work. We have had
enough of turncoats. lien. Butler was once
a 'sccesb,1 and Brownlnw was once the bit
terest of all the persecutors of the abolition
ists." The Mncon Journal condenses n column
of wisdom in the following appropriate quo
tation, which constitutes its entire "leader"'
on the subject :
"Bo wise to-day,
Tis madness to defer."
The Augusta CountitutionnUtt says :
"Verily, we are between the devil and the
deep 6eu. Escape seems almost impossible,
but may come miraculously. As tLe case
staudsthe supreme moment appears immi
nent. Cromuell or Cit'snr ? which shall it
be 1 Theduys of the American republic have
been cumbered."
The New Orleans 7'ime is apparently
waiting to urge acquiescence. It says :
"Our uniform answer is to 'keep cool,' re
struin your feelings, exercise the highest
philosophy anif patience, aud bide events."
Elale't Calcoton liidLtin says:
"The bill is more stringent than we hoped
to find it. Mr. Sherman, in the debate just
before its final passage through the Senate,
admitted that it was severer than its friends
desired, but blamed the result upon the
ultra radicals and the democrats, who had
hoped to kill it with obnoxious riders. Its
effect is to make General Grunt ru'er over
the states, since there can be no doubt but
that although nominally subordinate to, the
General is substantially independent of, the
President. Gcnerul Grant is more accepta
ble tu the people of the South than any civ
ilian that could be appointed. lie is above
office hunting, and we hope has no aspira

keeping chickens aud pigs:
"The following is my experience for the
year 18(36, ending December 31st, in raising
in a small way pigs and poultry. I have
kept an exact uccount of the expenditures
and receipts, as a mere matter of curiosity
to myself, and perhaps your readers may be
instructed or amused by its perusal, and
then judge for themselves between pigs and
poultry:
In Jan., 1866, I purched 44 hens, at

"Sly hens bad no extra or particular care.
They had the run of my sttfblo apd yard

(Wich is in tho Stait uv Kentucky),
March 28, .807.
I have made many sudden and rather
'stordinary changes in politix some so very
sudden that the movement perdonst conj ca
tion uv the conshence. I rckollcct wunst
uv advokatin free trade and high protective
tariff, all within twelve hours, (I made a
speech in aagricultooral decstrick uv Noo
York in tho forenoon at 10 A. SI., and in a
manufacturin town in Peunsylvany in the
evenin, our platform being so construktid
that both sides cood find a endorsement in
it,) and hev porfarmed many other feats uv
moral gymnusticks; but this last chancre I
hev lieen called upon to make is probably
the suddenest. Last week Toosdy, Deekin
l'ogram, Captain SlcPelter, and I wuz en
gaged in riddin tho Corners uv niggers.
We bed endoored em cz long tz we (hot
possible, and determined on standir. it no
longer. Selecting three which we wuz satis
tied bed too much spellin-book into em to
be enslaved agin, wo wuz prcparin notiBes
to be served onto cm, orderiu em to leave
in twenty-four hours, when I reseeved in the
Northern mail a letter marked "Free Alex.
W. Randall. P. SI. G." I knowd it wuz offi
shel to wunst that blessed siguatoor is on
my commisshun, and I've contemplated it
too often to be mistuken in it. Its contents
wuz brief, and run thus .
"To all Postuiosters in tho Southern
States : The niggers hev votes consillasheu
is our best holt. See to it."
This breef tho not hard to be understood
order wuz sealed with the oflishel seal uv
tho Post Olhs Department, stampt into put
ty iuslid uv wax, to wit: a loaf of bread,
under a roll uv butter, with ten hands a
grabbin at it. I comprehended the situa
tion ut site, and set about doin my dooty
with both Homun and Spartan firmness.
"Deekin," sez I, tearin up the notises, "These
niggers we hev misunderstood. They are
not a inferior race ; they are not descend
ants uv 11am and linger ; it wuzu't Paul's
idea in sending back Otiesiinus to condemn
him to servitood. We hev misunderstood
the situation, aud must make amends. The
nigger is devoid of smell, and is trooly a
mun and a brother."
"Witt ?" said the Dtckin, tippiu back in
amazement.
"Jest wat I say," sez I j "read thut," ami
I flung him the icttcr.
The upshot of the coufcrcnco which ful
lered wuz the calling uv a meeting the next
uile, at wich nil the Ethiopians uv the Cor
ners wuz invited and urged to be present.
The trouble wuz to jrtt the niggers to ut
tend the mcctin. The fust one 1 spoko to
luirt in my face, and nsktmo how long it
wus sence I bed helpt hung a couple uv
niggers, by way uvfiuishin otfa celebrasheii.
Pollock, tho Illinois storekeeper, got hold
uv it, and told Joe Bigler, and Joe swore
that ef the niggers hedn't tiny mure sense
than wo give 'cm credit for, in spo.siu we
cood bumboozlc em so cheep, he shood go
back to the old belief, to wit : Ihut they wuz
only a sooperior race uv monkeys, after all,
and by nite every nigger in the visinity wuz
postid thoroughly, ami out uv ull uv cm I
cood only git four whnwoull promise to
attend, and them tho Deekin hud to pay 'j
apiece to. To give it cclaw I promised one
uv tin 5 (to be paid at the close uv the
mcctin) to sit on the stand with me, wich,
being a very poor men, and hcvin a sick
wife in a shanty near by, who wuz sulferin
for medicine (which he coodeut git without
money), he ucccptid.
At tliiai pint au idea struck me. I remem
bered Philudelfy, and determined to hev a
scene rivaliu tho Couch audOrr bizuis. "An
other thing, Cuff., understand that its a part
uv the bargain that wheu in my speech I
turn to yoo aud stomp, you must rise an em
brace me."
"Wat ?" sez he.
"Full into my arms, loviu-like you un
derstand just as tho we wuz lung-lotH
brother 1"
'Scuse me," sed he. "I'se amity low uig
ger, and wants to buy do old woman somo
quinine, aud wood do uio.t anything louli
dut, but, golly, dut's too much 1"
"Not a cent," sed I, sternly assomin my
most pieicincbt gage, "uuless this iu inclu
ded !"
"Well," returned he, sulkily, "ef I must, I
speck I must, but, golly "
The nito arrived and tho mectiu house
wuz full. We fhot fust uv holdiug it iu the
chapel uv the College, but give up the idea
ez impracticable, ez owin to tbe (lillytorinis
uv our Northern friends in forwardin sich
subscripsbcus ez they hev ruised, we haven't
got no further with the buildiu than layin

niggers, all in clean shirts, and ou the stand

"It Yooniu ther is strength For Presi
dent in 18U3, Fernando Wood. For Vice
President, Fredrick Duglis."
"In the uigger, strength ; iu the Caucash
en, beauty; in tho mu latter who is trooly
the noblest uv thohumun species both."
In addishen to these, we dug up all tho
old mottoes wu.li Jefferson writ, about
yooniversal liberty and sich, wich hedn't
bin quoted in Kentucky for twenty years,
and posted urn up ; in brief, bed Wendell

Since the introduction of the small nickel
coin as a substitute for the old copper coin
age, the term "nickel" has been introduced
as a new term of phraseology, and Is used to
desiguate a hundredth part of the American
dollar. America ia not tho ouly country in
which uickel has been used for coinage; a
coin was struck iu Bavaria gome timo before
the Anieiican coin was originated.
Nickel is a metal of a Grayish-white color.
and is ductile aud malleable. It has a high
melting point and is but little ncted upon by
dilute acids. It is somewhat used in tho
manufacture of German-silver and the metal
called "ulbuta." When nickel is heated in
contact w ith air it acquires various tints like
steel, anil altera little tune becomes covered
with n green oxyd. The origin of the name
"nickel" is said to have been given it by the
old German miucrs, who regarded it as a
kind of false copper, and applied the term
"nickel" a$ an expression of their contempt
for it.
Nickel has remarkable magnetic uroncr-
ties, but upon being heated to six hundred
and sixty degrees it loses them. The effect
of the magnet on it is little inferior to that
which it exerts on iron. The metal becomes
magnetic by friction with a magnet or by
even beating it with a hammer. Several
years ago some magnetic needles were made
in France, and were preferred by many per
sous to needles made of steel, on ucccunt of
oetter resisting the action of the air. Bv
alloying tho nickel with copper, the mag
netic property is preserved, but is somewhat
diminished. If a small portion of arsenic bo
alloyed with nickel the uiauuctic property is
completely destroyed.
JSickel U usually associated with the ores
of copper, silver und cobalt, nnd is chiefly
obtained from the mines of Saxony, iu Ger
many. It is also found iu Cornwall, Eug
l.ind. Among tho ores in which nickel is
found are "nickel glance" nnd V white nickel''
two arsenical ores ; "nickel stibino," au
autimoniul sulphurct of nickel ; and "an
timonial nickel," containing no sulphur.
"Nickel pyrites" is a siilphuiet, of a brass
yellow color, and contains about sixty-live
per cent, of nickel ; "niekeliferous pyrites"
is a double sulphuret of iron and nickel, and
sot a bronze yellow color. 1 he nickel ol
commerce iu chiefly obtained from thc"nick
eliferpus pyrites" and 1'roni the "speiss" ob
tained in the treatment ot the uickelilerous
ores of cobalt.
The Cbinesa employ uickel in the manu
facture of white copper. Wheu alloyed
with iron it gives a certuiti degree of bard-
ness and whiteness to the iron. Five parts
of nickel and two of iron is moderately hard,
is malleable, and has the color of steel. The
iron of aerolites contains usually from three
to ten per cent, of uickel. Oxul of nickel
is used to give colors to enamels and porce
lain; in dilfcrent mixtures it produces brown,
red, and grass green tints.

Saya the Cincinnati Timet, in remarking
upon this subject : "Somo editorial discipio
ot Dr. Franklin, in his system of political
oconopiy applietl to individual' c'nribhment,
has shown how a 'nimble sixpence' may be
converted into a fortune. Ho gives a table
showing that 2 cents Buvcd per day would
yield, at 6 per cent, compound Interest,
$2,000 in fifty years ; 5 J cents a day, $5,800
in the same time ; 8 cents a day, $8,700 ;

82 J, $37,000; $1.10, $116,000; end $1.87
6aved per day would yield $145,000 in fifty
years. So that if a young man at 21 years
of ago would save 27. cents every day, or
just $100 per year, he would at 71 years of
ago be worth $20,000, when just tfie time
ho must 'close out' for this world he would,
possess a competency. At 01 years of ago
he would have $15,400, and at 51 years of
age ho would have $7,000, which would bi
cnongh to support him in an old man's sim
plicity the balance of his days. These facts
are certainly worth considering. There are
many who could oot save "by hook or crook'V
not moro thau $50 a year, and they must
have tho best of luck to do that. The bal
ance of mankind might, o few of them, save
$1.37 per day, or $500 per year thus realiz-'
ing $.0,500 ut fifty-one years of age, $77,000.
at sixty-one, and $145,000 at seventy-onu
years of age; but the larger portion of the
remainder, who are oa the other eido of tho
circle, could not save moro than 5i cents a

years of age $1,5S0, ut sixty-one, $3,0.0, and
und ut seventy, $5,800 which w'oiild be a
great deal detter than nofhing. On tho
iybola, the workiiigincu of tbis highly favor

six per cent., compound interest, with nu
losses by broken creditors, or on mortgage

adupted the bills should bo dug out six
inches and filled with well-rotted manure
aud rich soil five of six seeds should be put
at equal distances about an inch iu depth,
aud the "hll" should be evcu with the other
soil. Tho hills should bo about six feet
apart each way, and the plants, when I bey
have passed all danger, should bu tbinued
out to about three in a hill, ybn bed must
bo kept clear of ail weeds and gross, aud
wheu the vines commence running they
should uot be disturbed, or the rootlets con
nected with tho vines, aud by which it is
largely supplied with nourishment, will be
broken. The ground, as tho vines begin to
exteud, should be gong over will) SP iron

loosen it and give these rootlets u chance to

Tic selection of seed corn is ore of tho
most important things which a farmer does
at this season. Coatee cobs accompany late
maturity, as a rule; fine cobs, wtjl tippei
out, indicate perfect maturity, adaptation to
the season mid soil, and a fixedness of char
acter w hich it is important to majntaiu. The
curing of corn takes place fo a great extent
after husking, aud the presence of a great,
soft, moist cob iu each car tvcs tendency
to mould, w hich shopb) be Seduoiisly avoid
ed. The old experiment of fitting a paper
oouo to an ear of corn, then withdrawing
I he ear, shelling it and returning the kernels
to the cone is interesting and instructive.
If the kernels w ill all go tasily into th
cone, the cob is too laigp, and we should
say the corn unfit for seed. The cone should
be made of brown paper, dampened, bouud
tightly around the ear, coming do higher
than the kernels, but coveriug all; the ends
are trimmed off, and it is allowed to dry
before the ear is drawn out. One piay easily
