Hair Restorative.

Tho hair is not only one of the ac--
ccssories of human beauty, but is
designed to protect tho health; as
a bad conductor of heat it serves to
equalize the temperature of the brain.
The nerve contained in the hair tube
is frequently paralyzod and the color
ing destroyed but by proper rene
dies the gray hair can be restored to
its original color, and where il has
fallen off new growth eau be pro-

for the Democrats, but they were
forced TO walk up in body and swal-
low It. y correspondent, of the New

.. The Arkansas III veto, today,
was quite a refreshing incident III the
dull routine Of private bills and con
tested election cases. which were be-
fore the House. The President. as
was lntimated in this CORES pondence
some DAYS ago, could not torego this
last chance, aud yielded TO the temp

cv OF Congress another blow. To be
sure. in doing so, he beHed all tho
assurances Of his friends after i'm peach

now 90 smoothly on TO the end Of his
term. But the Republicans were

amusing. as well as Instructive, to
witness the manifest disgust OF the
Democratic members at this unwel-

to march up in solid array and once
more endorse the policy Of Andrew

Since 1875 ii has been day of re-
joicing 70 every lover of liberty IN
