PROFESSOR ALEXANDER C. BARRY'S
TRJCOPHEROUS,or Mtdicajied Compound, for
beautifying, curling, preserving, restoring and
strengthening the Hair, relieving diseases of the
skin, curing rheumatic pains and healing external
wounds. Bounded by no geographical lines, the
reputation of Barry's Tricopherous pervades the
Union. The sales of the article of late years have
increased in a ratio that almost exceeds belief.
Professor Barry, after a careful examination of bis
sales-book, finds that the number of bottles delivered
to order, in quantities of from half a gross
upward, during the year 1852, was within a trifle
of 950,000.
It is unnecessary to present at length the evidences
of the wonderful properties of the Tricopherous
when the public have furnished such an
endorsement as this. The cheapnessof the article,
and the explanations given of its chemical action
upon the hair, the scalp, and in all cases of
superficial irritation, first recommended it to
the attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expectation.
It acted like a charm. The ladies would
not be without it. Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must
have it; and thus was built up a wholesale
trade of an extent hitherto unheard of as regards
articles of this kind. The highest point has not
yet Deen reacnea, ana it ib Denevea mat tne aaies
tbia year will be a million and a half of bottle*.
Depot and manufactory, No. 137 Broadway, New
York. Retail price, 25 centa a large bottle.
Liberal discount to purchasers by tbe quantity.

MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION.
TTTHEREAS by the act entitled "An act relating

act amending the same, approved 27th April, 1838,
it is provided that "whenever it shall be made appear
to the satisfaction of the Mayor that any animal
of the dog kind within this city shall be

duty of the Mayor to issue his proclamation requiring

kept confined for such number of days as he shall
deem expedient and proper, to state in said proclamation,
not exceeding ninety days; and it shall
be the duty of the city constables, and lawful for
any other person, to kill and bury all and every
dog going at large contrary to the said proclamation,
&c.
Now, therefore, It having been made to appear
to ray satisfaction that there are "animals 01 toe
dog; kind" mad within this city, I do hereby give
notice, to all whom it may concern, that "all anii
mala of the dog- kind" in this city are required to
be kept confined for and during the term of sixty
days from the date hereof; and the police officers
of this Corporation are required to enforce the law
in respect to all such as may be found going at
large contrary to this proclamation.

SUMMER SKETCHES?No. 4.
by mary J. w1ndle.
Shannondale Springs, July 13, 1853.
Dear Reader: Please shut your eyes and
dream that you are with us at the "first ball"
here. Not a mere grand rout, where people are
crowding each other to death and repeating a set
of conventional phrases to each other during the
whole evening; but a really gay, animated party,
where a set of young people meet to enjoy themselves.
Such gay, airy, pretty girls, and such
lively pleasant young men! We want you to
mark Miss (excuse the name) as she trips
gaily down the dance as if her soul were in her
feet, little as they are. It is not strange that she
should take a conspicuous place among the belles
here. But we are not going to describe her.
We shall merely remark?en pastuvnt?dear Mr.
reader,< to you, that she bears a decided and remarkable
resemblance to your idol. And to you,
dear Miss or Mrs. reader, that she looks exceedingly
like?yourself. And now, of course, you arc
both satisfied that she must be the most enchanting
woman in existence; if not, the fault must lie
in your taste and not in our spirit of accommodation.
Tlie gentlemen quote poetry to her and
bring her bouquets. And yet she parodies their
verses most ludicrously to their faces, gives them
the slip whenever it suits her convenience, and
ridicules the pretensions of all outright. But
every one is willing sho should flirt just as they
would look indulgently, because of its beauty and
grace on a lovely, petulant, and happy hummingbird,
as it darts from flower to flower, sometimes
nestling tenderly within them, and sometimes
tearing them mercilessly to atoms. After all, if
she shares with too many her heart, it is because
sho has more heart to spare than most people, and
does not grudge it where it can give pleasure.
The leading feature of this ball was the waltzing,
which was going forward in every direction
when we entered. Couple after couple passed
round aud round with a perseverance and solemnity
perfectly astonishing, when it is rememberod
tjiat many of the individuals thus engaged
arc delicate, fragile-looking creatures, who certainly
do not appear able to endure the fatigue.
An unceasing circuit of the vacant space?a
wreathing of arms and clasping of waists?aifd
mu Piuy variation wu wcm uuiu tu uiduuvu mia
an increase of speed, which rendered the movements
of the parties only more conspicuous. At
first sight one would think it was quite an easy
matter to catch the step, but in reality it requires j
study and frequent practice to accomplish it,
even with tolerable grace; and the best dancers I
introduce varieties which, like the shakes and
flourishes in singing, so disguise the original
movement with ornamental addition that you
would hardly recognise to what family it belonged.
To this dance the visitors here seem devoted.
No evening is complete without it; and to surpass
all competition in dancing the polka is glory
enough for our belles.
Miss has had her curiosity?that quality
which is so universally imputed to the daughters
of Eve?most painfully tested. A bouquet was
sent her a few days ago, but there was no sign of
the messenger or who was the giver of the fairy I
gift. From whom could it have come ?
She ran over the roll of her admirers. One by
one they passed before her, shadowy and dim,
like the procession in Richard's tent scene. She had
received bouquets before?bushels of them?with a
profusion sometimes truly ludicro us. Almost any
day of the throe hundred and sixty-five she might
have been smothered in roses; but never before
had a liouquet so touched her fancy. There were
bright young rose-buds, the slender green arms in
which they had so long boon nestled still clasped
about them, as though loth to give them up; and
pansies, with their purple eyes full of sweet-loving
thoughts; and the daisy, spreading abroad its tclltnln
nntnls as though askinrr to be inouired of;
[ and many a delicate flowering' thing peeped from
beneath a sheltering leaf, or eat in state upon its
own slender stem, like a queen upon her throne.
Who could bo the giver of such a tasteful gift?
Hor latest lover was not a man with a taste for
these frivolities. He. made lovo like a merchant;
he conquered by addition and multiplication; balance
sheets were his love-letters?notes of hand
wero liis "billet-doux." She did not for a moment
suspect the flowers were from him.
She took up the beautiful mystery very carefully,
and turned it over in her hands, and thrust
the tips of her taper fingers beneath the leaves to
discover all they concealed, and wondered within
herself?her lips all the time parting with a surprised
smile. All! Miss (excuse her name)
made a great wonder of the matter, even to herself;
but here was something whispering her all
the time the whole truth. In peering among the
steins, she found a slip of paper, with certain
words upon it written in a bold hand?very!
Why did her chock crimson with a burning
blush? Why did she bound into the hall, spring
up the stairs into her room, and sit down stonestill
upon a chair? Why did she look fixedly
upon the floor and remain perfectly motionless for
five minutes? Why? Because that handwriting
was written upon her consciousness suddenly and
dazzlingly, as the mystic words upon Ncbuchad
nezzcr's wall. Because she was lest in a luxury or
happiness. Never lingered life in flowors so long
as in these. Since that day tliore has been a
gonoral disappearance of her lovers. They have
scattered in flocks as the migratory birds do on
the flrstcold day, and her table on the second day
after that event was as vacant of any floral embellishments
as if it had been a signal for the
death of the flowers, and no more were destined to
bloom.
But we liavo gone as fur into this delicate matter
as the limits of a sketch will permit. Wo may
give-you the "denouement" in a future article.

who was passing with a copy of "Dream Life"
under lierjarm. I know Mr. M ; and here
the lonely girl sighed as if the great privilege of
intimacy with this romantic author were a solemn
and saddening responsibility. She glided on and
was lost with "Dream Life" in the moonlight,
while we looked admiringly after one who knew
the magician that so skilfully blew the cinders of
his cigars in our eyes, making us weep and weep
again, and fall in love with such luxury of
weeping.
The Great Exhibition.
From the New York Tribune.
As an epitome of the experiences of a traveller
who should pass his time in examining the workshops
of the world?as a collection of the finest specimens
of industrial art?as a record of the progress
of human development in some of its most significant
elements?as a tidemark of the height of
nnvfoMlnti tn wKtith lnanliaittPa] nrAPihlitf'fl llftVA
been carried?it cannot fail to be instructive.
It must be particularly instructive to Americans,
because it will flirnish them with evidences
of a skill in many branches of creation beyond
their own, and of models of workmanship which
are superior, precisely in those lioints in which
their own are most deficient. No one, we presume,
will push hiB national predilections so far
as to deny that in the finer characteristics of
manufacture and art we have yet a vast deal to
lsarn. Stupendous as our advances have been in
railroads, steamboats, canals, printing-presses,
hotels, and agricultural implements?rapidly as
we are growing in excellence in a thousand departments
of design and handicraft?astonishing
as may be our achievements, under all the difficulties
of an adverse national policy?adroit, ingenious,
and energetic as wo have shown ourselves
in those labors which have been demanded
by the existing conditions of our society?wc have
yet few fabrics eaual to those of Manchester, few
wares equal to tnosc of Birmingham and Sheffield,
no silks like those of Lyons, no jewelry like
that of Geneva, no shawls like those of the East,
no mosaics like those of Italy. But in our rapid 1
physical improvements?growing as wo arc in
prosperity, in population, in wealth, in luxuries
of all kiuds?these arc the articles that we ought
to have, and must have, to give diversity to our e
industry, to relieve us from dependence upon oth- 1
er nations, to refine our taste, and to enable the '
ornamental and elegant appliances of our life to '
keep pace with our external development. Mere 1
wealth, without the refinements of wealth?bar- 1
baric ostentation, prodigal display, extravagant
self-indulgence?can only corrupt morals anu degrade
character. Hut the cultivation of the finer
arts redeems society from its grossness, spreads '
an uncon'.'cious moderation and charm around it,
softens the asperities of human intercourse, clq- '
vates our ideals, and imparts a sense of serene enjoyment
to all social relations. Our common
people?immeasurably superior to the common I
people of other nations, in easy means of subsistencc,
in intelligence, as in the sterling virtues? 1
are yet almost as immeasurably behind them in 1
polished and gentle manners, and the love of mu- '
sic, painting, statuary, and all the more refining i
social pleasures.
These exhibitions, then, which make us ac- c.
quainted with the superlative arts of other na- ''
tions, cannot but be highly useful to us. But .
they have also another use?a moral, if not a re- {j
ligious use, in that they teach us so powerfully
the dependence of nations upon each other?their r
nalnfiAtia on/1 fKo nhasvliitn nAPAflflitv of ?
| each to tho comfortable existence of all the reet. c
There is hardly an article in the CryBtal Palace to (
which the labor of all the world has not in some
sort contributed?hardly a machine which is not 1
an embodied record of the industrial progress of J
tho world?hardly a fabric which, if analyzed,
does not carry us to the ends of the earth, or '
which does not connect us intimately with .the
people of every clime?with tho miners who tor- 1
tured its raw material from the dark cave, or the |
diver who brought it from the bottom of the Bea? J
with the solitary mariner who shielded it from tho j
tempests?with the poor, toilworn mechanic who
gave it form or color, or with the artist who im- 1
parted to it its final finish. Thus, no man liveth
to himself alone, even in his most ordinary occu- f
fiations; he is part and parcel of uh, as we are of
um. A wonderful and touching unity pervades 1
the relations of the race; all men are useful to all I
men; and we who fancv that, in some important
respects, we stand on tne suimhit level of humanity,
have a deep interest in the laborers of the
vales?in tho celerity, the excellence, and the
success of what they do?and in the comfort and
happiness of their general condition, As Emerson
lias wisely sung, in that sweet poem of his:
"All are needed by each one; ,
Nothing is fair or good alone." ,
' There is also another thought suggested by our i
topic which contains a world of meaning. Wo c
are apt to speak, in our discussions, of the progress
of industry, but do rye always ask ourselves
wherein that progress consists ? Is it in the greater f
perfection to which, in modern times, wo have t
carried the works of our hands? Look at the s
elegant tissues of Persia and India, or at the flexi- i
11- i-l-.l-,. -C ..?,i ??? ?
how far we liave surpassed these works of semi- \
barbarous ages and people, with all our boasted j
mechanical improvements! Can we imagine any t
thing more splendid, more rich, and more delicate 1
than the clothes in which the Oriental princes
still array themselves, as their forefathers used to i
array themselves centuries ago? Have we yet a
dyo more brilliant than the Tyrian, a sculpture
equal to that of Greece, an architecture better
than that of the "Dark Ages," paintings on glass
to compare with thoso in the old cathedrals, i
workers in bronze to rival a Cellini ? Is it not the 1
highest compliment that wc pay to a product of 1
skill or genius to say of it that it is "classical," I
that it is worthy of the models that have been |
presorved for ages in our galleries and museums ? ,
What, then, do W? mean when we speak of our- 1
selves as more advanced than former nations; \
what is that difference between us which autho- '
rizes us to use the word progress and to look back 1
with a complacent, half-pitying oyo upon the at- J
tainments of the generations that have passed I
away ? <
It is this: that in our discovorios in science, by 1
our applications of those discoveries to practical i
art, by the enormous increase of mechanical pow- i
or consequent upon mochanical invention, we t
have universalized all the boautifbl and glorious i
results of industry and skill, we have made them i
a common possession of the people, and given, to 1
society at large, to almost tho meanest member of 1
it, the enjoyments, the luxury, the eleganco which <
in former times were the exclusive privilege of J
kings and nobles. Formerly the labor of the world
fed and clothed and ornamented the prince and
his court, or the warrior and his chieftains?hut
now it feeds and clothes and ornaments the peasant
and his family. Then the ten thousand poor,
miserable wretches worked for the one, or the
few, but now the ten thousand work for the ten
thousand. Then The wealth of provinces was
drained to heap up splendors for tnc lord of the 1
province, but now that wealth is multiplied and 1
diffused, to givo happiness to tho commonalty. <
All tho concentrated capital of Lyons and Leods
and Lowell, all our complicated machinery, while 1
it creates new demands for human labor, is in- j

tended to cheapen manufacturing products, as the
effort of that cheapness is to put the fabrics of
woollen aud silk within the reach of the poorest
classes. Our books, at this day, may not be individually
superior to the books of the days of Elzevir,
but millions of men now possess books where
hundreds only possessed them formerly. Our
vases and cups may not be more exquisitely
wrought than the vases and cups of Benevento
Cellini, hut they are wrought, not like his, for
Popes and Emperors, but for Smith and Jones,
Mid all the branches collateral and direct of the
immense families of Smith and Jones. Our roads
ire not built at a vast expense, for some royal
progress, or the passage of a conquering army, but
ire built to roll from house to house the precious
treasures of industry, or a happy freight of excursionists,
giving their hearts a holiday of merriment
ana innocent delight.
yjur (jrugiejui, in uieac muuuiu iiium, incu,
consists in thin, that we liave democratized the
means and appliances of a higher life; that we
have spread, tar and wide, the civilizing influences
of art; that we have brought, and are
bringing more and more, the masses of the people
up to the aristocratic standard of taste and enjoyment,
and so diffuse the influence of splendor and
jrace over ail minds. Grander powers have been
infused into society. A larger variety and a
richer flavor have been given to ull our individual
sxperiences; and what is more, the barriers that
tnco separated our race, the intervals of time and
ipace that made almost every tribe and every
amily the enemy of every other tribe and family,
lave been annihilated to enable the common inerests
and common enjoyments to renovate and
varm us into amity of feeling and the friendly
rivalry oT fellow-workmen, pursuing, under different
circumstances, the same great ends.
Legislation, rightly directed, might have done
uid might yet do much for the civilization and advancement
of society; but, unfortunately, in most
nations of the earth the legislation, having been
mder the exclusive control of a self-styled liigher
:lass, has impeded rather than hastened the movenent.
Yet in the face of this terrible obstacle,
mder all the evils of the insular monopoly of
ireat Britain, seeking to aggrandize her own
nanufacturing industry at the expense of the inlustry
of the rest of mankind, the genius of pracical
art has triumphed, and will triumph still
nore, over every difficulty. It is raising the la>orer
to his true position; it is facilitating the as
lociation of men; it in harmonizing their interests;
md whether legislation helps it or not, it will ulimatoly
redeem our race from dependence and
ilavery. And herein is the chief reason why we
to-day salute with satisfaction the opening of the
Crystal Palace.
"Don't Speak to Her!"
"Donl's Speak to Her!" There was a hitter
nicer upon tne face of the little girl as she and
ler companion turned away from the poorer
Iressed school companion.
No, little Miss, don't speak to the poor girl,
Pour father swindled poor people and made a large
property out of their hard earnings. He was a
;ow-bred vagabond when a young man, but is now
sne of the "upper ten." At heart he is as low
md base as ever he was But he deals in stocks
ind robs by shaving bonds and mortgages. He is
i moneyed man. He is rich. He is your father,
Vliss, and would not like it were you to be placed
>11 a level with honorable people. Don't xpeak to
\er.
The girl is plainly clad and has no tippet around
icr neck, or costly playthings. She has a hum>le
home, and a poor mother. Her father was
uined by one who now rolls in wealth, and died
l stricken man. His fine house?the early home
if the poor girl?was sold at a sacrifice, and purchased
by the man who ruined him. Her mother,
he once beautiful and accomplished belle and
loble woman, takes in washing. What a vulgar
voman! How low it is to wash for a living!
iVho would associate or have any thing to do
vith them?
Her shoes, too, are common calk-skin, while
fours are beautiful gaiters. Why can't the vulvar
thing dress as well as you do, and why can 't
ler sad-hearted mother have a fine horse and ride
o church in a carriage? What business have folks
,o oe poorr mow exceedingly vuigar n ih lo worm,
or a living!
Don't sjieak to her. Her sweet face is pale ami
lad, and her dress is coarse and plainly made,
lust look at her pantaletts even?nothing but
common needlework! Not as fine as yours by a
good deal.
Don't speak to her. She ain't fit for your company?she
don't dress well enough. No matter
if she does hear the cutting words. Poor children
have no feeling. It's your privilege to say what
you are pleased to about such folks. There is a
tear in her mild blue eye, and a quick flush on
her pale cheek, and as she passes the group with
tlicir hoops, she draws her checauered bonnet
tightly around her face, and steals away with
nauy a bitter sob. Her young heart is learning
ts first sorrow. She will know that heart or conluct
have no claim upon the respect of the fashionable
world.
Her mother washed for bread, and she is a poor
rirl. There are many sobs and clouds for her in
he future?many a cutting word and stinging
ineer. Her woman's heart will need all its ura

hey crushed her with an iron heel and she was
ost.
Don't speak to the poor girl?they have no busiiess
to be poor?it is so vulgar!?Cayuga Chief.
The Sublime avd Ridiculous.?'"Now (said
Mr. Ahernethy, in a lecture upon the muscles of
the scalp) 1 will tell you a perfectly ridiculous
story about this, with a view to impress this part
of the subject on your minds. It happened in the
early part of my time to become quite tho fashion
to put half a pound of grease, and another half
tound of tlour, on a man's head?what they called
hair-dressing; it was the fashion, too, to bind this
round with a piece of tape or riband, and make a
tail of it{?and it was the mode to wear those tails
rcry thick and rather short. Now, a gentleman
who possessed great power in the motion of his
t'roiis occipitalis, used to go to the boxes of the
theatre when Mrs. Siddons first appeared; and 1
Ion't believe there ever will such an actress
ignin as she was, nor do 1 believe there ever was
ler equal before. However, when the people
vure affected beyond all description, and when
.hey were all drowned in tears at her pcrforniinco,
this chap wagged his tail enormously, and
ill the jieoplc burst out into a roar of laughter. In
irain did they cry "Turn him out!" In vain did
tln?v rrv "Tlimw him over!" AVlien lie had pro
duced this oftect upon the audience, then ho kept
Ilia tail quiet; hut again no sooner wan their attention
-engaged than wag went his tail, and again
were the bursts of laughter re-echoed."
There is in tho town of Sluiwangunk, Ulster
county, N. Y., on the premises of John Bruyn,
esq., a cherry tree of such size, beauty, and productiveness
hh cannot perhaps be excelled in our
country. This tree measures thirteen feet in circumference
around the trunk iminedately under
die limbs, and fifty feet acrotm the extreme point
>f one limb to that of another immediately oppolite.
It cannot be lesa than furty-tivo feet in
iieigbt. It is in full bearing, and is estimated to
produce a wagon-load of fruit in one season,
