RECEPTION OF THE COPPERHEADS AT RICHMOND.

COPPERHEAD SPOKESMAN. "Be so kind as to announce to PRESIDENT DAVIS that a few of his Northern Friends wish to see him."

POMPEY. "De PRESIDENT desire me to say dat you is mistaken, Gemmen. He haven't got no friends at de Norf; and when he wants any, he won't choose 'em among de Peace Sneaks."   (Exeunt COPPERHEADS considerably abashed.)—(Vide DAVIS'S Message.)

MANAGER LINCOLN. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I regret to say that the Tragedy, entitled The Army of the Potomac, has been withdrawn on account of Quarrels among the leading Performers, and I have substituted three new and striking Farces or Burlesques, one, entitled The Repulse at Vicksburg, by the well-known, popular favorite, E. M. STANTON, ESQ., and the others, The Loss of the Harriet Lane and The Exploits of the Alabama—a very sweet thing in Farces, I assure you—by the Veteran Composer, GIDEON WELLES." (Unbounded Applause by the COPPERHEADS.)

These are considerations worth knowing. The Kathairon has been tested for over twelve years, and is warranted as described. Any lady who values a beautiful head of hair will use the Kathairon.
