DIRECTIONS.
A small portion to be poured upon the Head, and to be rubbed into the roots of the Hair. No Pomade required.
From its great nourishing power on the follicles it may in time cause Hair to return to its natural color; it, however, does not contain a particlo of any dying ingredient. Using it constantly will most certainly pre- vent the Hair falling. It is clearly in use, the smallest quantity suflicing. It has no setimunt, and therefore requires no shaking.

Even on the plain princi ple that two heads are generally better than one, such a condition is desirable. This would not in any way compromise the just and proper rights of the Crown but it would minimise the evil of thể Crown Colonial system. The Governor would still exercise, under strict Hmita tions and instructions, certain of the Royal prorogatives, such as the power of veto on projects not strictly local; But it should be made compulsory for him to submit at once to the Colonial Office all points of variance between himself and the Council. Until the Secretary for the Colonies gave lis decision, such affairs should remain in statu quo.

Legislative Council have advised certain schemes and reforms,ch as the Ty tam-ink Water supply, the New Central Schools, The Harbour of Refuge, etc. These being presumedly adverse to the. real wishes of His Excellency, profuse promises were given but seemingly with the fixed determination to do nothing. True, commissions have been appointed to inquire into this, and report apon that; but no good has resulted from them. They have served or are serving their end by wasting time, and in the meantime the surplus accumulates not because the Colony is more prosperous under our present Cæsar, but because Public Works have been entirely sus pended.
