The process of loss of hair may take rlace either rap- 1
idly in the course of weeks or moi;tan,or, as is generally
the case, the loss is slow and gradual through a i>eriod of i
years. The liairs may commence to come out at any |
period after puberty, although baldness does uot ordinarily
b<-?rin to manifest itself until the age of 25 or M0
vi ars. TLe scalp throughout the process apj>ears to l>e
! healthy. At first only a few hairs come out from time
to time, and th<-se ar>- replaced immediately by ashorter
and lifter lti?? tli of hair, l^ater these, in turn, are shed,
snd are succeeded by still liner hairs, and in the course
of time even th -se cease to appear. when ounplete baldness
of a certain portion of the scalp is the result.
There mav 1*- an appearance of line down, which proves
that the litir follicle still exists, and can be made to pro- , "
duce healtny hair a^.iu by proper treatment. The ' ?
prevalence of j remttiire baldness umiaK ouryoung :
men and women of the present day Is really surprising. 1
Baldness is d< .-i?ruated t>y the parts of the si alp affected. 1 K
Thus we have Crown, Frontal I'art. anil Temple Bald- ( it
ness. The last two are so much dreaded by ladles. |
If vour hair is thin, harsh, dry. split, laded or prema- ! i
turely gray; if you have any di *aee of the hair or scalp ' ..
dou't neglect it. but consult L>r J. VAN DYCK. Derma- . v
tolo^ist. at once. Dr. VAN DYCK has d-voted special i v
attention to the treatment of the hair and scalp for V!0 | i
years, and i* pleased to announce that he has perfected i
a method of treatment by which he can produce a j healthy
growth of hair in every cm*- where the hair ; j
follicles are not destroyed. If you wish treatment con- 1
suit Dr. VAN DYCK at once. t>tlice No. 22 t?rant Place, e

secretary lincoln recedes from his position,
At the Instance of the Senate committee on military
affairs the Secretary of War has receded from
the position held by him that officers who are
physically Incapacitated for service and recommended
for retirement, but who still remain on the
active lkst. are not eligible for promotion.
The President has therefore withdrawn the nominations
which were made under this ruling.
The test case was that of Lieut. V. M. Lynde, who
has been for years incapacitated, whose former
nomination to be captain had been withdrawn because
of his Incapacity, and that of I.leut. R. G.
Armstrong substituted. Lieut. Lynde held that he
should not be Jumped in that way, and
the Senate committee upheld the claim.
Lieut. Armstrong's nomination has been
withdrawn, therefore, in favor of Lieut. Lynde.
Lieut. Armstrong will be'promoted at once to
another vacancy caused by the death or Capt. T.
M. Tolinan. The nominations for promotion of
lower rank denendlng on these changes have been
withdrawn und straightened out according to the
new order.

Completion of the Capitol Terraces.
the senate passes the appropriation?"the funereal
pile" at the entrance to the urounds
criticised.
The senate, proceeding to the unobjected cases
upon Its calendar,took up and, after a short debate,
passed the bill appropriating $777,580.98 for the
completion of the Capitol terraces and the stairways
connected therewith.
In the course of the debate Mr. Ingalls expressed
the hope that the funereal pile at the entrace to the
main approach to the Capitol, on Pennsylvania avenue,
and Intended for ornamental statuary, should
be removed to some adjacent cemetery. It was
wholly out of place, he said, in the position in
which It now stood. People did not go into public
places to weep, and nations did not weep any way.
Mr. Morrill, who had reported from committee
this "Capitol improvement bill," under consideration,
sala he would willingly vote that the pile referred
to should be transferred to some more fitting
place, but this bill should be acted upon its merits.
Mr. Voorhees suggested the Soldiers' Home as the
best location for the funereal monument.
The River Front Improvement*
retort of major peter c. hains.
CoL Peter C. Halns, in his report to the chief of
engineers, of the work on the Potomac flats for the
month of January, states that owing to the river
being frozen over the work of dredging the channel
and filling the flats by P. Sanford Ross was
practically suspended. The dredges were all towed
to the contractor's depot, at foot of 18th street, to
be repaired and to keep them in safety. The work
of filling at Easby's point by Thomas P. Morgan
was also suspended. The work under T. C. Skimmers
of forming an embankment along the line of
the slope wall was continued when practicable, and
about 12,750 cubic yards were dredged and deposited.
The operations will be resumed as soon
as the weather and condition of the river will permit
The work of removing rocks from the Georgetown
harbor was also suspended, but it will be resumed
as soon as possible.

To-day Wm. Sweeney and John Herrity were
placed on trial In the Criminal Court for highway
robbery of John L. Ransom, on Decemlier 5th lastMr.
Taggart prosecuting and Mr. Cahlll for the

Mm under arrest and commenced searching him,
saying that he had irons, and robbed him ef $47
Next morning he Identified Sweeney at the station
house a# one of the men. Sweeney said it was a
"d?n lie," and hit him over the head. Sweeney
afterwards gave ball and jumped. He also Identified

At the executlvtftesslon or the Senate yesterday 1
afternoon the Judiciary committee reported against '
the confirmation or Col. Thomas Keogh for I'nlteti
States marshal of the western district of North .
Carolina. Not long after the adjournment of the
last Congress CoL Keogli was appointed In placcof
Robert M. Douglas, a son ot the late Stephen A.
Douglas. Early in the present session Keogh s
nomination was sent to the senate, charges were
flled against Keogh by Douglas, so it was said.
The rejection or Keogh will leave Douglas as the

The Senate committee on claims this morning or- t
dered a favoraUle report to be made on Senator Col- ?
qultt's bill to repay the state of Georgia $27,175.50. ;

THE nENNEPIN canal. j

House his bill for the construction of the Hennepin !
canal. The bill provides for the commencement of j
the work, under the direction of the Secretary of i
War, wlthm six months after the passage of the ,

There was a very warm discussion over the bill In the ]

the illinois press association 1

president and secretary of the association, asking ,

of the Earlvllle, 11L, Gazette, be speedily examined (
and reported on by the committee to whom it was .
recently referred, and that Congress take speedy j

postage on transient newspapers. <
Mr. Flnerty presented to the House yesterday a
memorial from the Western Press Association asking
for an amendment to the law regulating the
postage upon newspapers, so as to make the rate
on transient newspapers one cent for four ounces. 1
tariff views of representative wood) of i
indiana. {
Representative Wood, of Indiana, holds that n i
general revision of the tariff at this session of Con- l
gress would be a mistake. He says the democrats
ought to content themselves with a bill correcting
the "glaring Irregularities" of the tariff, and announce
a thorough revision at the next session, ?
after inquiry and investigation. Mr. Wood believes 1
that articles in common use by the poorer classes {
should be reduced and cheapened immediately. He (
maintains that a horizontal reduction will not ac- '
compllsh what the country needs.
col. boudinot'b charges against wm. a. phillips. 1
Col Boudlnot presented formal charges before 1
the nouse committee on Indian affairs yesterday
against Wm A. Phillips, reiterating the statement
that he was paid $22,500 under the pretense that it 1
was to pay Secretary Teller and senator Dawes for t
their influence in procuring the Cherokee appro- t
priatlonot 1300,000.
mr. converse emphatically denies (
the statement that he has abandoned his bill for {
the restoration ot the duty on wool, and says that t
he will call It up as soon as he gets a chance. He t
Is second on the list for .recognition, and Mr. Car- i
lisle has promised to recognize him when he desires t
to call up the bill for consideration under the rules of c
the House. He says that there are no party lines t
upon the wool question, both parties in Ohio being i
Sledged to restore the duty, and that the wool men 1
n both sides of .the House will light for the meas- i
ure to the last. No one dreams of abandoning the t
measure, he says. To do so would be death. Ohio
lost over a million dollars by the reduction ot the j
duty by the republicans, and now demands a prompt
restoration.

qUAMERM ASTER.
Boston. Feb. 6.?The om<Hal Investigation Into
the city of C olumbus disaster was continued this
nornihg. Koderick McDonald. quartermaster of
the wrecked steamer, testified: Was not very
"amlllar with the course to Savannah; do not know
many of tlie lights along the coast and cannot
name them; do not know the courses from light to
light; went on watch as wheelman at midnight on
the night of tlie disaster; don't remember what
ourse was given me when I took the wheel; Mr.
Puller, the mate, gave me the courses atter we
passed the Cross Rip. Fuller remained in the pilot 1
house a considerable time after I took the wheel. :
l'he mate left the pilot house at about quarter !
past two. lie gave me several courses while in the
lillot house; cannot remember what they wereL'aptaln
Wright was In the pilot house aftfr he
:aine on duty until after seven oells. He was not
jut of the pilot house more than three-quarters of
in hour. He gave me an order to steer southwest
ay west; the second mate was t here. The-order
ivas given directly to me and 1 rejieated it to the
captain. Don't know whether the port window in
the pilot house was open that night or not: don't
know whether It was closed after the captain left
the pilot house or not. There was no frost on the
n indews; the vessel was steered by steam; It rejuired
very little physical power to "steer her; the
pilot house was heated by steam. The bow watchman
was no more than thirty or forty feet from
the pilot house; I could easily hear a call from the
sow watchman; 1 did not hear any announcement
)f the buoy off Gay Head; I did not see anv buoy
it any time; I had never seen the buoy? i never
inew there was a buoy there. The second mate
mlered me to put the helm hard a port, which I
lid. The further testimony of the quartermaster
lorroborted that of Captain Wright.
