THE GREAT DESLDERATUM Of tie AGEt

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
and effeetuaI for preserving the Hair Faded or
gray hair is restored to its original color and
the gyoss and freshness Of youth. Thia hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and badness Of
ten, though not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the faIlicies are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied and dscayed.
But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of fOuling the hair
with pasty sediment, it win keep it clean
vigorous Its occasional use viii prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and consequently
prevent badness. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some preparations dan
gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted mere
fora
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white
cambric. and yet lasts longer on the hair, givin
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

ABOUT CHRYsANTHEMUMs.


After all the gIories Of the garden, the
Chrysanthemum crowns the year. All through
the sumner 1t has weedy aud unattractive
look. and most people let It have its own way.
It Is only storing up strength to Withstand the
frosts, aud late in the season it will blaze
with flowers. 4 neglected Chrysanthemum
is good, but one properly cared for is a treas
ure. Suppose we start With one with sin
gle stem, such as the florists send out. When
It is fairly established aad growing we'll, pinch
of the top this will cause several branches
to start, and when they seem vigorous, pinch
them again, and so keep on until the middle
Of August, or the frss Of September Then
if the branches are crowded, thin them cut,
and stop the suckers which will start up from
below, as we'll as those branches which start
too late 10 form flower buds. Bya little care,
supposing that the plants have not been put
too near together, a handsome head may be
formed. We have noticed that later in the
season hairy caterpillar is very destructive
to the Chrysanthemum foliage, but it is easily
shaken of ana crushed A dark coIored
aphis sometimes infests it we have never
had it sufficiently abundant to be beyond the
control of thumb and finger, but if it should
prove annoying We should try The effect of
tobacco water.

legalize the marriage of DR.. NJ. 81. .Thorp
and Josephine Harvey, although the lady
has former husband still living from
whom she has never been divorced. This
former spouse was Confederate officer,
and was universally believed to have
been killed in the battle of Murfreesboro.
Some ten months after that event the
lady was married anew to DR.. Thorp, and
was living in felicity with him, when sud-
denly the dead man reappeared upon the
stage of life. Like perfect gentleman
be made no disturbance, but offered the
lady the choice between himself and her
second and newer partner. She chose
the latter. and Mr.. Harvey gave his con.
sent and blessing. But this did not suf-
fee to render the marriage legal, and for
this purpose the parties have gone to the
Legislature. Whether the desired relief
will be given is rather doubtful, as the
Kentucky lawmakers seem reluctant to
pass the bill
