A BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR. is not a ,lav I)asse- by- ,M,t vVhat ,)r R PARISH

And they all pron^ thp best preparation, tor the growth, beauty ami restoration of the hair, that thev have ever used, and IM IIHV/» that H will accomplish every thing that any one could desire.

Every lady and gentleman who is in the habit of using Oils on their hair, should ;it once purchase a bottle of the CHINK.SK HAIR CUKAM, for it never fails to give satisfaction.

hYorn the ,Xew York Tribune of July 10, 1847. A BKATTIFI f. HEAD OF HAIR.—'We have seen a great

many prcp.arations used on the Hair, but not one that we could admire or recommend to the community; but since the introduction of the celebrated Chinese Hair (.'ream into our city, and witnessing the application of it on a friend of ours a few days since, we feel that it would be doing the public injustice (especially the ladies,) were we not to express our opinion, and say, that all who are in need of an article to dress and beautify the Hair—to keep it soft, to remove dirt and dandruff, <n to give it a dark, rich color—cannot In* bet­ter satisfied, if they were to search the city over, than to pur­chase a bottle of Dr. Parish & Co.\s celebrated HAIR CREAM.

rr ft.is j\ro equjuj DR . R. I'AHISII tV Co.—Gentlemen : Allow me to add my

feeble testimony, among the many others, in favor of your desirable j »reparat ion by the name of Chinese Hair ('ream. Having used the article myself and in nn family. I am pre­pared to say. that it exceeds any thing I have \et seen for sofening the Hair and removing the dandruff. ) find that it lias a tendency to render the hair soft and pliable; and, iu my estimation, it is nil that it is recommended to be by others.

The simple fact of so much freight from all points above the mouth of the ()hio being reshipped and lightened out to this place for reshipment, should prove conclusively to all per­sons that it is the natural and proper point of' shipment.

The Missouri Riveris every year getting worse and more dangerous to navigate; and it is thought that the only proper means of getting Produce from that rich and fertile part of the State will be by means of a Railroad, which is now in contemplation, from Lexington to Ohio City; but, when boats can run at all on the Missouri River, the great advan­tage of running direct to Ohio City will at once be seen

Ohio City is on high ground, entirely above all overflow, and beautifully situated. At present the steamboat Convoy, and several other large boats, aie running regularly from this place to New Orleans, and will continue to keep up a regular une between the two places. A line of boats is about to be established to run from Ohio City to Pittsburg and all the in-termediate points, and also from Ohio City to Galena, and to Peru, on the Illinois River, and al*o to Lexington, on the Missouri River.

Merchants residing above the mouth of the ( Miio will, rren-erally, make a great saving in the price of freights, and in the time ot receiving their goods, by ordering them shipped from New Orleans to Ohio City, and from thence they can be put on boats that will deliver the same at their place of

F o r t Ii e Crescent. Sketches of the Sidewalks and Levee ;

With Glimpses into the A'cm Orleans Bur (rooms.) JOHN J. JINGLKBRAIN.

The subject of the present " Sketch" could never by any possible mischance be considered as " one of the b'hoys." 'fhe lines are fallen to him in pleasant places," and if there is any peculiar blessings attached to " the ton," Jiuglebrain has a chance to enjoy it.

You see him in St. Charles street, and in the haunts adjacent thereto, and you cannot fail to no­tice him as remarkably distingué in his air and ap-pearance. Iiis coat and his pants, his vest and his cravat, his hat and his boot-x are all remarkably " the thing;" and as you observe him at 11 or I'2 o clock in the morning, as he issues from some one of the fashionable coiffeurs, you would not be far from right in supposing that lie had just made his escape from under the lid of a band box. His hair is " done to a turn,' and every individual member of his side locks is in its right place, and is indeed, as slick as grease. His whiskers and his moustache are combed and anointed with some sweet scented luigueut, and he snufls the atmosphere of St. Charles street as though the very breath of heaven was unworthy the patronage of so much clean linen and line broad cloth, as well as a very exten­sive swell of [lersonal pretensions.

Some poet or other—Sliakspeare I think—makes allusion to one having small pretensions to man­hood, that " the tailor made him"—and if ever an individual might disclaim maternity from the com­mon unclean mother earth, Jinglebrain is that man, lor clean clothes and bear's grease have made him what he is. Nor is it in our nature, or within the bounds of our present purpose, to cavil with any man because he dresses in a seeming and becoming manner; God forbid—for we ourselves luxuriate in clean linen and goodly raiment, and are made glad thereby : but that mortal man should feel puffed up in self-importance because of his outfit from the tailor-shop, and aflëct a pitiful superiority over his fellows, solely on the grounds of the fit of his pants and the sleekness of his hair, is marvellously be­neath what we ought to expect from the dignity of human nature.

However, it is to Jinglebrain, not so much as a dandy, nor even as a conceited numskull that we now desire to paint him as he is, but as one of your do-nothing, nothing-to-do gentry who affect to hold all useful occupations in disgust.

Man is an eating animal, aye, a drinking one too —were it not so. the bar-keepers and the restau­rants might suffer. Man, we say, is an eating ani­mal, and as such he needs occupation to furnish him the wherewith to buy bread and butter, and those little daily necessaries, such as food anil clothes to wear.. The merchant toils early and toils late, and not unfrequently carries his cares from the counting room to his pillow—the professional man is full of anxiety, and very often leads a life which is the op­posite extreme from pleasure and repose. If we survey the streets of our city, we see the sons of toil in their various degrees and standing, and all active in business and bustle, and wherefore ? Man is an eating animal and a clothes-wearing animal, and women and children need sustenance and shel­ter too. There is something noble in filling up an lie nest and praiseworthy sphere of usefulness—in furnishing our quota towards the requirement« of good citizenship—but what sphere of usefulness does Jinglebrain fill up, what niche of honest indus­try does he occupy ?

It is said that he had a wife once—people say that he had more than one, but that he has none now is just the truth and " nothing else." There are some little peccadilloes which it might be un­pleasant to bring to light, and which would under such development exceedingly disturb the peace, and dignity of our friend Jinglebrain—all these deeds and misdoings are wrapped in the veil of oblivion, or perhaps of an " alias," and now he sports his moustache and clean linen per se, and is a gentleman of leisure. He has an overflowing pur.«-! loo. and every body knows how he shuffles and makes shift to keep it replenished. No man lias a greater horror of the restraints which a busi­ness occupation imposes, than this same dandy whom we are attempting (o "Sketch." He lias no ostensible ocru|iation himself—no counting room, no business office, no fortune that he has in­herited, no " old man" of a fallier or au uncle who is very rich and very indulgent, and yet he always

; has a plenty of money*—always flourishes in the i most fashionable style and eats at the most expen­

sive table. Philosophers tell us of many wonders in nature

j —wonders of the earth, the air, and the mighty j deep : but of all the wonders of a wonderful world,

the way in which some people live, is the greatest j wonder yet. Jinglebrain boards at one of the crack

hotels, and after a 10 o'clock breakfast, he patron-| izos the barber for an hour or two, and then dawdles j about, as Fanny Kemble would say, until dinner.

He plays a game of billiards, whiles away an hour ! at the green-room of one of the theatres, drinks ! at the most fashionable restaurants, and lunches at i 12 or 1 o'clock in the most recherché manner im­

aginable. Vousee him promenading the streets,or driving dull care away with a choice regalia and a fresh newspaper, as lie lolls iu an arm chair on the portico of Iiis hotel—he's a " gentleman" in a won­derfully good humor with himself and evidently feels his keeping.

Jiuglebrain affects the critic too in literature—he pities the poor drudge that writes, but he conde­scends to notice his productions. Ile twirls his moustache or puffs his segar with exceeding genteel nonchalance as he passes his comments upon some work of genius—and all the while too, he, Jingle­brain, is a numskull ; in learning he has hardly passed the rudiments," and if his pretensions could only be inspected, it would be discovered that the plus of Iiis self-esteem would be represented by a minus in the estimation of others. We have heard it said that our friend has but one standard of quality, and that is from the skin outwards. His gentlemen are made up of three parts : first, broad­cloth ; second, clean linen; and thirdly, of hair. No man without a moustache has ever been known to be recognized or receive a street salutation at his hands. Multitudes of those who knew him at other times and in other places receive no look of observation or recognition from him whatever.

What will become of Jinglebrain when he dies «e cannot say. I am sure no one can tell. There are denunciations and there are blessings pro­nounced on the souls of those who do evil, and those also who do well : but what dispensation of mercy there is or those who have no souls, and who regard only the corporeal outside of the living man, we are by no means of sufficient wisdom to deter-

In the Wrong Box. Night before last, a gentleman whose face was

decorated with imperial, whiskers and moustache, took it into hie head to pay a visit to one of the balls down town. Our hero shut up Iiis razors, washed the foam from his soap, and for a moment thought only of the bills that his customers owed him for the barber-om vocation in which he was engaged. Tw o or three brandy toddies proved that he was at the head of all professions, and inflated with the idea, he boldly went on his way and entered the ball room. The gas lights streamed like the beams stolen from the trail of some brilliant comet, and music soft as ever sped from an Orphean flute, made the air redolent with harmonious sounds. The barber was entranced, and mentally resolved that he would never again shave for less than a dime ! One of the nymphs who " waved lier nimble feet upon the gay-deck floor," accidentally attracted his gaze, and soon became an object of Iiis especial admiration. After a waltz, coffee was called for, and then cogniac and cigars. The unfortunate wight, after having drained, time and time again, the " flowing glass," found himself in the middle of Chartres street. How he had come there, he didn't know—that he had been in the ball room was a positive fact, but by what mysterious con­veyance he had been placed in his present position, he could not account for. He looked around him, and saw the houses dancing a gallopade—the signs were flitting up and down the street, and the whole vicinity seemed to be going round like a coffee-mill just before breakfast time. In order to preserve himself from falling, he grasped an iron lamp post ; but to his imagination, the post was as slender as a, weed, and he dropped into the gutter. Here, with eyes full of mud, he in vain looked for the polar star, which would give him the direction to Iii» home ; and after having by a miracle extracted a piece of potato-paring out of his left nostril, he sneezed as though he had taken "a huge pinch of Scotch snuff," and not used to the "gentle titiva* tion."

" Vere am I?" said he, as he dabbled his legs in the gutter. " Vere am I?" I know vere I was, but vere am I now ?"

" Oh! I knows you, my friend," said a watch­man, stepping up, " your'e the person that slipped away from the Charity Hospital night before last. Now come along with me, and I'll take ye to the maniac department."

" Vere is de moon ? I cannot see him—he must be down or up. Vich is he, my friend ? Can yon not tell ?"

" Oll ! I know now your'e the man, and I've al­ways heerd that crazy people was somehow afflict­ed with mooriey feelins, and when she riz their sperms would always go up. So, come along with. me."

Charley firmly believing that he had hold of a crazy man, took him to the Hospital, and there the unfortunate barber remained all night before last. Yesterday he came to the police office, and said, '• he declare he was not crazy, but zat he had loss his umbrell, and beg zat it might lie refund to him."

The barber got his umbrella, and walked up the street with the gait of a crab with the rheumatism, swearing at every step, "zat ze next time I am take up, I wish I may be d—<1 !"

A .v UNLUCKY EDITOR.—Governor Thomas, of Maryland, has divested the editor of the Centre-ville Times of his official dignity, and rudely thrust him out of the office of Magistrate. The editor thus announces the sad event :

" We have been hustled out of the Magistracy— shorn of our official dignity, and the alluring per­quisites of office transferred to other hands ! and this, too, when we had paid one dollar and twenty-five cents to the clerk of the county for our docu­ments, and only realised one twelve-and-a-half by the year's operation !"

FIGS .—The physicians at Constantinople, says the New York Sun, are recommending the daily use of dried figs, in small quantities, to prevent at­tacks of the cholera. As an article of luxury or food, we have always considered good sound dried figs a most valuable fruit, and are astonished that so little attention is paid to the cultivation of the fig tree in our Southern States. Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia, offer boundless facilities for this branch of agriculture. The demand is now much greater than the supply. The popularity of the fruit is gradually extending throughout the Union, and in Massachusetts, where its medicinal qualities are universally known, the consumption is about one-fifth of the whole quantity imported into the United States. For children, the fruit is invaluable. It not only imparts a healthy tone and vigor to the system, but saves the expense of trashy luxu­ries. and generally obviates the necessity of using medicine.

QI'ITE HE -DEOFS !—In Cincinnati, a female, at­tired in men's apparel, was enjoying herself in the different bar-rooms? with her friends on a recent Sunday. She partook of the social glass with nu­merous acquaintances, w ho occompaiued heribout the city and through the principal streets.

Sufficiently Amusing. As one object of a prudent morning-paper editor

is to present in his columns something that will make folks laugh while they are eating their breakfasts— we transcribe the following, which is the editorial " leader " of the Philadelphia True Sun of the 14th inst. It is coqjcal, exceedingly. Moreover a curiosity iu its kind—moreover a testimonial that the True Sun is in a bad way. It will probably he necessary for us to tell the reader that the " Native Americans " were to meet in Philadel­phia ori the evening the 15tli-—did meet we suppose ; and this cataract of pathos and eloquence was in­tended to stir them up to their work with a particu­larly long |iole :

Americans ! Protestant Americans ! Lovers of liberty! Friends of religious freedom ! Sons and sires of free-born thought ! Hie ye ! to the Mass Meeting to-morrow night, to protest in a manly, solemn, and earnest tone, as becomes republicans, against the passage of the bill of infamy, to send an Ajperican Minister to the Pope of Rome.

Protest against ii, in the name of the human race, who are endowned by God with the rights of free thoughts, and a responsible conscience.

Protest against it, in the name of the rights of man, which secures to you religious freedom and the right to pursue your own hap'piness.

Protest against it, in the name of liberty, as chaining the free car of Columbia to the rock and torture of a tyrant; infallible, imperious, blasphe­mous and soul-killing.

Protest against it, in the name of God, and in the name of man, as impious to high Heaven, and cruel to the children of earth.

Protest against it, in the name of republicanism, which spurns the impious arrogance of "divine right!" arid which, to recognise, annihilates for­ever the equality of man.

Treason itself, lurks in the omission to protest against this mission to the head of the Jesuits, who arrogating to himself, the blasphemous title of "Holy Father," also, usurps the prerogative of universal dominion over the earth. Recognise this Embassay —- fail to enter your solemn protest against this most damning and foul act of treason to Protestant liberty throughout the habitable globe—and onr boasted land of glorious indepen­dence, becomes a colony of the Pope—a mere ap­pendage of Rome's triple crown—a cipher in the sphere of freedom—and a bond slave in the court of the " Holy Father." Rouse to a sense of your danger. Inspire the spirit of the nii^eenth cen­tury ! Dare to vindicate vour rights ! ®>are to re-si st the impious and audacious presumption of a priest of Papal Rome, who aspires to be the Presi­dent's President—and a tyrant over your free country. In the name of God ! and in the name of liberty ! rally now to it* rescue and preservation.
