extended and sparsely settled territory,

preparations have given the public greater
confidence in this class of remedies than

If our friends will use preparations for
restoring gray hair they should use the best
in the market. Our attention has lately
been called to an article which has an ex-
tensive sale and very high reputation,
known as Rings vegetable Ambrosia, and
we are inclined to think that it possesses
moro desirable and less Objectionable quail
tiles than any other in the market. It re-
stores gray or faded hair to its original color
in most remarkable manner, and by its
invigorating and soothing properties re-
moves all dandruff and humors from the
scalp. Give it fair trial and you cannot
fail to like it.

Bishop HENNI is 6S years old, and we
never saw him look better than he does at
present. When he first took charge of the
Wisconsin Mission there were only three
catholic churches in the Territory and
now there are over three hundred. Few
men In the State have greater minds or
more energy than Bishop HENNI'

to say on this question hereafter.

"rhree Dollars and Ninety-three cents

The aggregate wealth of Great Britain is,
omitting the cents, about thirty-six thousand
millions of dollars; and the aggregate wealth
of the United States, the National ''blessing'
being counted out, is about fourteen Thousand
millions. In Great Britain the taxation is, IN
all, ninety cents on the hundred dollars; and
in the United States the taxation, by the Fede-
raj Government alone is about three dollars
and ninety-three cents on the hundred dollars.
These are the prices that are paid for being an
Engishman or an American.
An Engishman has some value for his
money He may hurrah for the Queen, see
the State coach on grand occasions and nave
his toes stamped off by Horse Guards horses
sleep securely at night, be sure of plenty OF
rain, believe Britannia invincible, grumble at
everything and everybody, and, as last re-
source, write to the Times. This is somethlng
but it is nothing in comparison with what the
American receives, in return for that little Dill
of three dollars and ninety-three cents upon
every hundred dollars
The American may boast of the biggest
country, biggest rivers, biggest ships, biggest
armies, biggest wars, biggest rebels, biggest
debts, and biggest doubt and confusion. He
can soar on the wings of the National Eagle
to Alaska where the sun is visible about three
times year; he can ride on the Pacific Kali
road, be scalped by Indians, and buy for
triae new head, as large as life and twice as
handsome; he can be blown up in the floating
palaces of the Hudson or Mississippi, or die
with indigestion at railway dinner house; he
can boast of Broadway and say nothing of the
| side streets; he can look at the ruined homes OF
ten millions of people and thank the Lord that
treason is punished; he can invent machine
for making saw-dust out of new pine boards,
and make fortune at the public expense; ne
can buy pork in Cincinnati, speculate in thea
tres in New York, test cotton in the Carolnas,
taste sugar in Louisiana, drive cattle in Texas
weigh grain in Chicago, chew tobacco in Vir-
ginia, and pot buffalo before breakfast in the
far Western wilds; he can talk, and boast, and
fight, and work, and travel, and crow; and all
for the triAing consideration of three dollars
and ninety-three cents upon every hundred
dollars.
1t matters not that trade, commerce, and
manufacture languish that taxation, Federal
State, city or municipal, is breaking the backs
of business; that political party is trying tc
kick every vestige of wealth, and hope, and
comfort into the pitchy pit of AcherOn He is
still a loyal, treason-hating, tax-paying Ameri'
can; and the glory and the greatness OF the
sacred name are more than enough to wipe
out,-except upon the appearance of the mys
tic United States Revenue Collector,-the re-
membrance of that unfortunate tax on happi
ness,-"three dollars and ninety-three cents
upon each one hundred dollars"
