I IMilk Crust, Dandruff, Eczema and All Scalp Humors Cured by Cuticura. I AST NOVEMBER iny little boy, aged three j years, fell against the stove while he was running, and rut his head, and, right after that, he broke out all over his head, face and left ear. I had a good doctor. Dr. , to attend him, but he got worse, and the doctor could not cure him. His whole head, face and left ear were in a fearful state, and he suffered terribly. I caught the disease from him, and it spread all over my face and neck, and even got into my eyes. Nobody thought we would ever get better. I felt sure we were disfigured for life. I heard of the Cuticura Remedies, and procured a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, box of Cuticura. and a cake of Cuticura Soap, and used them constantly day and night. After using two bottles of Resolvent, four boxes of Cuticura and four cakes of Soap, we are perfectly cured without a scar. Mv boy's skin is now like satin.

luded to, and the statements of Major Bailey to me. The effect of this was to throw out of court, without his having tbe opportunity to be heard, or of having his rights protected, and the issuance of the patent, hurriedly and in advance of its turn, to Bell." - This bears out all the concurrent evidence, and it lays heavily upon courts that have repeatedly affirmed the priority of Bell's patent to show why their eyes were closed. The testimony, together with the evidence, the arrogance of the monopoly, and the state of public opinion will, without doubt, lead to a thorough sifting cf all the points involved and the rendition of a judgment in accordance with the facts, and unless the drift of all the facts suddenly che.nges, the monopoly of the Bell Company will soon become a thing of the past.

A PIONEER FIDDLER OF THE WEST. Professor Tosso, of Newport, Ky., who is said to be dying, is one of the pioneer fiddlers of the West. Ue claims to have been the hero of the advanture in Arkansas out of which grew the musical absurdity known as The Arkansaw Traveler." In his palmy days Tosso gave concerts all through the West and Eo Jth, and was rated as an extraordinary violinist. He is eighty-five years of age. Chicago Tribune, Tosso, forty years or more ago, kept a music store in Cincinnati, and frequently made excursions to the larger towns around giving concerts, sometimes alone and sometimes with a vocalist or a harpist or pianist to help. He has been in this city several times, appearing first here fully forty-five years ago, and was the first "fiddler" we ever had here who could play something better than "Zip Coon," 4,Broad Riffle" or "Leather Breeches." Our own pioneer performers were ball artists exclusively. They played jigs and ,'hoe-downs" for "puncheon-splitting" dances, and there were no better artists of their grade than Bill Bagwell, Joe Rouse or old "Dos a-dos" "do-sa-do" as he was always called from one of his dance phrases. But any such music as a sonata from Beethoven or Schumann's "Trasimersi" was as far beyond their comprehension as the "Institutes of Menu." Tosso could play good music and play it well, but he couldn't make it popular, and it never became so till increasing German settlement and diffusion of German taste and culture naturalized it, ani that began about the time that Tosso wai finishing his concert excursions, at least in this direction. Among his selections of classic music he usually introduced one or more of the popular airs of the time, and of these the "Arkansaw Traveler' was tbe most popular. It was certainly one of the livelist and prettiest He always told the story of Ithe ''Traveler" stopping before an Arkansaw cabin to make inquiries about the road, and listening to the owner attempting the tune on his fiddle, but couldn't have told it well if his English had been better, and his accent damaged even the inferior quality of the narration. He never pretended to be the composer of the air, nor did anybody claim it for him in those days. The "Arkansaw, Traveler," like "Grey Eagle" and "Wagoner" named for tbe rivals in the.great Kentucky horse race a half-century or so ago and "Zip Coon," "II 11 on the Wabash," "Rackback Davy." "batches Under the Hill," "Sugar in a Gourd," and fifty other dancing tunes known to old-time fiddlers and dancers, had no composer, in the sense that the better class of music has. It "growed," likeTopsy, from two or three pleasing musical phrases that some fellow had accidentally struck in his practice, and repeated till others learned them and added to them and finally made a complete air of them. The origin of many popular songs was much the same. Nobody knows who was the author of the "Hunters of Kentucky" or "Perry's Victory," or "St. Clair's Defeat," or "Poor Old Maids," or "All on Hobbies," or the "Great Sea Snake," or "Polly Hopkins," or any of the old songs that the grandfathers and mothers of the present generation enteitained themselves with in their young days. Now the songs are as completely lost as their origin, except where some bald-headed old fellow, who was a sort of society minstrel in his youth, can recall a ere or two; or where some collector of rare old books has preserved a copy of the " Western SoDpster," or the "Columbian Song Book," or some similar collection of the "folk songs" of a half century ago, before negro minstrelsy in its crudest form had appeared in such songs as "Jenny Git Your Hoe-Cake Done," "Walk Jaw Bone," "Wheel About and Turn About," "Old Zip Coon," and "C'lar De Kitchen." "Nigger songs" really formed a sort of transition stage from the ballad of love or war of an earlier social condition to the better musical taste that has developed now into as general and high a measure of culture as can be found in any city of the same size. CONGRESS ON THE LABOR BILLS. Congress has set a day for the consideration of billsj affecting labor interests, which in tbe main are directed toward arbitrating differences between employer and employed and regulating organizations of labor and capital in their relations to each other and to society. Were it not that several Eastern papers were trying to influence Congress to take no action on either proposition, we would scarcely consider it necessary to refer to matters so necessary and pertinent as have been demonstrated by the profound agitation this spring. It is the duty of Congress to lire it the pretentions of individuals and all organizations of individuals so that their actions may not be adverse to the welfare of other individuals and organizations and to society as a whole. This duty is not only corrective, but should be preventive so far as foresight may dictate. We can not imagine how these principles could be brought into clearer relief than they hare been during the long labor agitation, and we can not imagine by what mental process a sentient being can reason himself into a delusion that the agitation came as an accident, and has passed away as a mere incident of ebulition. Since the cotton spinners, representing $120,(100,000 of capital, have resolved to put their spoke into the wheels of industry by Instantly stopping, all over the land, the. moment any strike is contemplated at any point, is surely sufficient to awaken the law making instinct to its dunger, and this danger is all the more apparent, because these men actually possess the power to stop the living of half a million of men at any instant they may choose. That Mr. Irons threatened to do precisely the same thing th all the railroad?, leal to the same

danger point, and it ia only mitigated in his case by the fact that, unlike the organization of employers, he could not execute his threat as they can theirs. Such a condition of society is tribal, piratical and totally destructive, both of society and commerce, and the danger is not so evident now, bad a3 the examples have been, as they will be in future, unless the law shall take this powerful weapon out of the hands of all organized bodies, whether of labor or capital. This condition is potential war. It is war without bullets; but one need not be a prophet to see that the application of the principle involved can go but one step further without an inevitable social catastrophe. Suppose that one-half a million of men, and by the indirect influence of this half million another half million additional were thrown suddenly out of their livings by an act precipitated possibly by a dozen men. Whether this was caused by a labor or a capital organization, its results would be the most bloody and destructive of revolutions, that would not come from any preparation but from the momentum of such a vast number of men suddenly arrested in its normal motion. To say, in the face of such glaring facts as these that Congress, the power we haye created exactly for the purpose of preventing such an accumulation of power under an individual will, should do nothing, i3 tbe last argument of imbecility, and if the country has reached this condition of imbecility, it is as certain to collapse as fate. The American people can not entrast so much power anywhere outside of the Government which is the organized co-ordinate of the whole people any more than it can tdniit that Mr. Irons and the President of the cotton spinners shall be allowed to organize an army for each other's destruction. This involves a question of the policy of admitting to people the right to organize for any purpose, and therefore involving that all the legitimate work now accomplished by organized individuals and corporations shall be done by the Government itself, or else shall not be done at all. Of course this is totally out of the question, because it would :nvolvean autocracy that even if created ould not become in any degree equal to he work. The only other view left is to ad- . . it the right to organize, but to define the . owers that organized bodies shall exercise laws that would preserve the equities beveen them and society. It follows that iust- . and equity of powers should be conferred . the law in order to make it effective, and far as experience can guide, Jthe bills be- . e Congress do this as far as possible. rhe evil of giant monopolies is as great . w as before the strikes, and now the latare subsiding, organized monopoly is - oenting its power with the fears of anary that some untoward occurences proced during the strikes aroused. It is the -1 spectre so long used by Napoleon in ! ance to influence the bourgeois to imperiala. But it is as certain that they must be ' strained as the country exists, and there is i way for a solution that does not involve . aceful. gradual remedies by the Govern- .. ent, or else leave the factions to settle it in ieir own way, by force.

COURAGE CULTURE OF DUELING A recent exchange, speaking of the prevalence of the practice of dueling in portions of this country and others, says: "However barbarous may be the custom of dueling, as such, it is still a fact of historical value that no dueling community ever yet failed to send out good soldiers in time of war." It is also a historical fact that the most peaceful, orderly and moral communities have never failed to send out the best soldiers, the most amenable to discipline, the steadiest under fire, the most enduring in a march that have ever won a battle or decided a war. , The rowdy "b'hoys" of New York, who were expected to make tbe finest soldiers of the whole army, were cowardly in figbt and disorderly n camp, and easily worn out in a march, The clerks and railway hands and the farmers' boys far surpassed them in all soldierly qualities. Yet these roughs were more than ready for a fight with any weapon from fists and "brass knucks" to pistols and knives. The cavaliers of the English revolution thought the shop keepers of London would never dare to meet the fiery charge of Prince Rupert's cavalry, but the London "train bands" soon taught them better, and Cromwell's, psalmsinging and field-praying "Ironsides" never met them without defeating them. The peaceful, orderly community sends to war men who recognize their duty of obedience, and in that single fact, exhibit the one masterful quality of the successful soldier. They preserve discipline, live decently, maintain good health, and keep up effective drill. A dueling community may send out as brave men as ever lived, but that is nothing in war as a rule, for soldiers are rarely cowards in the ranks under fire. But no dueling community ever sent men so sure to make steady, safe, enduring soldiers as a community that never sees a street fight and spends the time in church that the fighting community spends in saloons and gambling hells, where duels are mostly begotten. DEATH OF MRS. MAGEE. We are pained to announce this morning the death of the wife of our good friend, Hon. Iiuf us Magee, United States Minister to Norway and Sweden. The sad event occurred at Godesburgh, in Rhenish Prussia, on the 6th of the present month. We have no information of the cause of Mrs. Magee's death or as to the disposition of her remains. The sad intelligence will be received with much regret both by the friends of her husbaod and by these who have enjoyed her acquaintance and friendship. She was a lady of much culture and refinement, of a sweet and gentle disposition, a fond and devoted wife and mother. We are within bounds when we assure our bereaved friend of the generous sympathy of all classes of our fellow-citizens in this bis hour of trial and bereavement. Fred Docolass, proposing to visit Boston to lecture and be lionized, proclaims that he will'proceed to Concord for the express purpose of making a pilgrimage to the graves of Thoreau and Emerson, and no doubt there will be an overwhelming turnout to view the procession.

THOUGHT OF THE HOUR.

There ia no need for any of these many novel modes of settling the negro problem. It is settling itself naturally ani properly, without govt rnment interference. New Orleans Times. Customers are (extremely sensitive about being treated superciliously by clerks. Often the best paying customers are angered and their patronage lost by the indiscretions and impertinence of over-smart clerks. Grocers' Criterion, Chicago. Is Walter Scott we see an Illustrious example of a man living in the Nineteenth Century who beloBged to the Middle Ages, He was possed of the feudal spirit, with its grossness refined away. So, in building his beloved Abbotsford, he wished to found a noble house, and dispense the profuse hospitalities on an old baronial establishment, And he carried out his dream for a while, though it was too splendid to last long. Eugene Parsons, in the Standard, Chicago. Ir organized labor could manage to get near the halls of legislation, could approach the throne of Federal and State power, and impress its needs and wants there, it would accomplish more in its interests than it can by all the strikes that can be instituted. At present it is separated from this power by a long line of politicians and demagogues who lightly regard public interests and toy with promises and pledges, while monopolies and syndicates whisper their desires in the very ear of official power and warp and weave legislation by the lobby. Muncie (Ind.) Daily Sews. Shorter hours of labor mean more to the laborer than simply less of exhausting toil. That is a desirable result, but it is relatively a small part of the benefit to be gained. The general demand is for eight hours' work instead of ten. The condition of business in some lines of trade may not make it practicable to grant this concession at once. It rxay be found necessary for the present to agree on compromises that will meet the peculiar circumstance in each case. The final result, however, under the ultimate adjustment of things, will be shorter hours of work. That means a great deal. Minneapolis (Minn.) Journal. Twenty-five years ago the country was rudely rent asunder. Under a hostle flag Je Jerson Davis made his inaugural speech, and under a hostle flag the new-born government began its career. Then followed years over whose terrible events history herself bends with moistened eyes. It will serve no purpose to recall them. They have already become the ancient history of a rapidly moving people. A new generation has sprung into life. The great rebellion grasped and died at Appouattox. The feelings in which it originated have been smothered in the increasing prosperity of the whole people. The institution which caused unending strife is no more. With it, we were sectional; without it we have become national. Then we were Southerners and Northerners ; dow we are Americans. New York Herald. Theke are stirring times, when every organization should boldly announce its "position. That, at least, we have aright to know. The public will look to the Knights of Labor and to the labor unions in the country ta make a plain statement of principles. We believe that they are not contaminated by this lurking devil an Anarchy; that they are too thoroughly American to resort to bombs, and too intelligent to use the weapons of incendiarism and murder. If this is true, then they should say so. If they have already said so, then they should say it again so loud that the world can hear it New York nerald. PERSONALS. Coionei.

She may be, and often is, just as sweet and kind hearted as ever before, but after a year she has learned her own power. She is no more shy. If she was a dainty bud she blossoms into a perfect rose. If she was an imperfect bud the gaslight and champagne of a Washington winter has opened the heart and discloses the velvety petals touched and smirched with the canker."

NEW MEXICO. Another Letter From Oar Santa Fe Correspondent Agriculture, the Water Question, Fruits, Etc. Special Sentinel Letter. Santa Fe, N. M., May 18. Perhaps it may be of interest to some of the readers of the Sentinel to know the general character of this country as relates to agriculture and the other ordinary pursuits of life. Although the writer entertains great hopes for the future of New Mexico, and believes that some day it will be one of the most desirable places of residence in the Union, yet there are many things that will necessarily retard its progress, and persons thinking of making their homes here should be fully informed of the difficulties they may be required to encounter for years to come. What is said is not tor the purpose of discouraging any one from coming, but, on t he contrary, to prepare them for the great change they will have to undergo in the matter of farming, stock raising, fruit growing or any other kind of pursuits they may desire to follow. Could a person be bodily transported from the fields of Indiana or Illinois and dropped down in this country and observe the manner of doing business he would think he was in some foreign clime. Persons can not take up forty or eighty acres of land here at any place and be assured that if well cultivated it will afford him a living as he can in the States named. The primary consideration here in selecting a spot for any purpose is water. This article commands premium. It is about the only thing that a corner could be successfully made on. In tbe States one may settle down almost any place and depend on Providence to furnish water during the year, both for agricultural and domestic pui poses, but if such a dependence was indulged in here a few months would develop a case of misplaced confidence. In consequence of this condition of things this country can not become settled rapidly by small farmers whose pleasant homes will dot every hillside and dale, as in in the North and East. A person desiring to engage in farming may find a piece of land that seems desirable, being favorably located in some respects, and possessing a goad soil, but it may be entirely worthless for the purposes he wishes "to devote it to, on account of there being no water. Again, in the spring of the year, when the melting snows from the mountains are feeding the streams, water may be abundant, but before the season is half over the bright sparkling streams become dry beds of glistening sand. Therefore, the great desideratum in selecting land for any purpose is the water supply. The mode of tilling the soil where irrigation must be resorted to for the purpose of supplying the water provided by nature in other sec ton?, is so different from that pursued where it rains upon the just and the the unjust, a brief description may not be amiss. As stated, the supply of water must first le looked after. This being assured, the ground for tillage must be selected with tue view of being able to conduct the water over every foot of it. It must not be supposed that land can be had in any considerable quaati ty where water may be conducted upon it without considerate labor and expense. On the contrary, irrigating canals must be constructed, often miles in length and at considerable expense. Laws exist for the government and control of what are termed public acequias (canals), being very similar to the laws regulating the opening and maintaining of public highways, each person being obliged to contribute for the construction, repair and overseeing of the same, in proportion to benefits received. Penalties are also provided for obstructing or befouling the water of these canals. Not only are they used fcr irrigating purposes, but they flow through the door yards, and are often the only supply for domestic uses. Persons in traveling over the country will often encounter these artificial streams high upon the mountain side, winding their pilent way among trees and rocks to furnish the necess try moisture to thirsting vegetation in the valley below. Many times these streams must be carried across deep ravines in wooden flunies supported by trestles. Water companies are formed in some localities to bring water from a long distance and supply it to consumers. Having selected a spot for cultivation, it must then be prepared in such a manner that water will flow and gradually spread over it. In order to secure this result the ground is laid off in squares, the size depending somewhat on the lay of the land. These squares, originally some thirty or forty feet in size, are divided by ridges of earth resembling sweet potato ridges. When it is necessary to water the growing crop the water is turned upon the highest spot, or square, and when it is sufficiently flooded it is let into the next highest, and so on until the entire field is supplied, and it is then conducted by a canal into the main irrigating ditch, to be carried on to the next consumer. It will be seen that ground prepared and planted in this manner can not be tilled as in the North, by plowing. Crops must be selected that need no cultivation after planting, such as wheat, oats, rye, grasses, etc., or else the working thereof must be by hand. It may seem to the farmers of the broad fields of those sections where all work is done by improved agricultural machinery that this kind of farming would never pay; and while it is true that it has its drawbacks, yet it also has its advantages. When the water supply is once asCured and the canals constructed no fears need be entertained of either droughts er wet seasons. Crops are neither destroyed by overflow or burned up for want of rain. Every person can furnish their own rain at the exact time and in the proper quantity, and while this mode of farming is not eil adapted to the raising of crops on a large scale that require tillage during growth, such as corn, yet the ether classes of products are sure of a bounteous yield from year to year, if the proper tttention is given them. This character of country Is particularly suited to the raising cf fruits of all kinds, both large and small. The dry pure atmosphere ripens fruit to perfection, while such a thing as rot or mildew produced from dampness is unknown. The absence of Insects and pests, of this natUH

is also a great advantage. Strawberries from California are now sellingin this market at forty cents per box small ones at that, the bottoms being elevated as well as the price and it is said that the native fruit seldom sells under this price, and yet there seems no trouble to raise them. Mere want of production seems to be the only cause for such prices. Most people on coming here expect to make a fortune in a lew years in cattle, sheep, or mines, and overlook the advantages presented in other channels. The other branches of industry are attracting more attention every succeeding year, and when the water supply is assured they will prove to be the most reliable source of wealth. Inorder, however, to furnish the supply necessary to render the occupation and tillage of a large portion of the fertile lands of the Territory possible, other sources than the streams must be obtained. The hope lies in the obtaining of water by sinking deep wells and obtaining a continual Mow. But little has been done as yet in this line. Same few persons utilize the wind for pumping water from wells, but this is too slow and uncertain for large operation. With the water question permanently and favorably settled and the development of the mineral resours of the Territory, I believe that this countij will be a most inviting field tor t he raising of certain kinds of gTain and grasses, as well as the production of fruits. At a future time the stock interests, present and prospective, may be treated upon. b. Persecution of a Colored Teacher. Republican political rascality in Cincinnati has culminated in a fight against a colored teacher of that city whose worth and ability had won for him more than a local name. The "charge" against him is that be voted for George Hoadley and that is all. But flimsy as it is, it was sufficient for the Republicans of Cincinnati to issue a boycott upon him and endeavor to ostracise bim from his living. A mass meeting of colored people was held to influence the Bsard of Education against making the removal, and R?v. Mr. Allensworth read the following resolutions: Whereas, It is one of the fundamental principles of our republican form of governmeut to encourage free thought and free speech: aud. Wheieas, We have information that our City School ISoard has indicated to Professor P. U. Clark that his services in the city schools are no longer wanted because of his political connections ; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the colored citizens, irrespective of political affiliations, request the majority of the Board of Education that they accord the same liberty of thought and speech to colored teachers that they do to white teachers, and that thry do not humiliate us by the thought that the colored man, bulldozed in one section ani party lashed in another, is nowhere free to think, speak and vote as he pleases. We further request that Professor P. II, Clark be reappoineed to his present position. But the heelers of the Republican party were on hand, and threatened a row. so that the meeting adjourned over until a more faforable place could be found. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, commenting on the action of the Board, says: If the colored jeople are not right sure that tbey have a better teacher than Clark for his place, they could afford to forgive him. They do not, however, seem to be in a forgiving mood.. His value as a teacher has been conceded, but the offense of being a colored man and voting the Democratic ticket will not be forgiven. The Republican party have considered that they hold a mortgage intiustfor the Southern slave-holders on the negro, and they will punish any infraction of the thraldom they would hold them in with all the powers of outracism and boycott that malignity can devise. But these people are becoming educated, and beginning to think for themselves, and the result will be opposite that intended if such things as these are permitted.

MINISTER MAGEE'S AFFLICTION. Death Of His Estimable Wife at Godesberg, Bhenish, I'rnnsia, May G. The friends of Hon. Rufus Magee, Minister to Norway and Sweden, will be pained to learn that he suffered the loss of his estimable wife at Godesberg, a town of Rhenish Prussia, on the Cth instant. The sad intelligence reached the city yesterday in a letter from Mr. Magee to Col. James Black, but very few ot the particulars are given. Their two children have been at school at Bonn since Mr. Magee reached Stockholm and Mrs. Magee Sf ent the winter at that place with them. Here she was taken ill and died, as before stated, at GdesWerg, a few miles from Bonn. It was partly on account of his wife's health that Mr. Magee accepted the Stockholm mission but it appears tbat she was not benefited by the change of climate. Mrs. Magee was a woman of lovely character and rare accomplishments and was devoted to her family. She leaves two children, if iris, aged respectively fourteen and sixteen. She was a daughter of the late JohnT. Mussel man and was about forty years of age. The harmful and fatal results attending the use of cough mixtures containing morphia, opium and other poisons, are daily Decoming more frequent. It is for this reason that Bed Star Cough Cure has received the unqualified indorsement of physicians, and Boards of Health everywhere, as a purely vegetable compound, entirely free from ail narcotics. Price, twenty-fiye cents. The law recently enacted in Iowa not only requires that every package of butterine or caseine shall bear, in letters an inch and a half long, an emphatic statement that it is an imitation articie, but it requires all hotel keepers and restaurant and boarding house keepers to put a placard on every plate of imitation butter or cheese that is brought on the table, stating that it is not the genuine article. In some unaccountable way the authors of the bill have omitted to require that all eate of butterine or caseine should be branded or labeled. That provision would make it perfect. Sick Headache. Thousands who have suffered intensely with sick headache say that Hood's Sarsaparilla has completely cured them. One gentleman thus relieved writes: 'Hood's Sarsaparilla is worth its weight in ! gold." Sold by all druggists. One hunured doses l. George W. Chapin, of Pine Meadow, Conn., was recently tried for selling cider without a license.

A lot of boys in Nicholasville, Ky., played at hanging the other day, and induced Walter Clarke, aged twelve, to be hanged. He stuck his head in the noose and a boy kicked a barrel from under him, and then his com- ? anions ran away and left Walter kicking.
