is name for it. 1t is simply Weakness breaking
down of the vital forces Whatever its causes. land
they are innumerable its symptoms are in the main
the same. Among the most prominent are extreme
lassitude, loss of appetite, loss of flesh and great
mental depression. Indigestion and stomach
cough are also frequently ooncomitants of this dis
tressing state of body and of mind The common
remark in relation to persons in such condition
is, that they are consumptive Now, what these IN
fortunates really want is uigor, vtal strength and

Song.

The sweetest songs are those
That few men ever hear,
And no men ever sing,
The cIearest skies are those
That farthest off appear
To birds of strongest wing;
The dearest loves are those
That no man can come near
With his best following.

A Leading Life Insurance Company.
1t is evident that just now there is no sub
ject more full of interest to the public than
Life Insurance, and nothing that concerns
them more than the merits of the various Life
companies in the United States.
In reviewing the career of these institutions
we have been much struck with the extraordi-
nary onward progress of the Equitable Life of
New York, and the marked success which has
attended the management of it's affairs; and
we feel that we are doing a positive good by
giving in brief detail the points which entitle
it to the first consideration Of the insuring
public.
The Equitable now occupies the leading DO
sition in respect to the amount of New annual
business, as will be seen by the following table:

The Vagab0nd Sage.

An old man Of very active physiogno-
my, answering to the name of Jacob Will
mot, was brought to the police court. His
clothes looked as though they might have
been bought second handed in his youth
ful prime, for they had suffered more
from rubs of the world than the proprie-
tor himself.

You are not far wrong. Travellers

has sense enough to hold his tongue
| 'What do you censure? ?"
| A man that marries girl for her fine
clothing; youth who studies medicine
while he has the use of his hands; and
the people who elect a drunkard to office"

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
for the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepara-
tions have been analyzed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. R. Greene, Superintendent Of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been a sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than q
quarter of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility of injury.
| "I have tested a sample Of DR.. Greene's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
| injurious matters erist in IL.
C. T. JACKSON, State Assayer"
The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty.
five years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. 1t removes
dandruff, prevents the hair from falling Oft,
| preserves its natural color, restores 1t when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR..
Greenes Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. 1t is
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at
ST per bottle, or six for SIS, or sent by ex-
press to any part of the country. Pamphlet

Shooting ARRAY.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec IA shooting
affray occurred here at one o'clock to,
day, which will probably prove fatal to
one of the participants. John Smelling
is well known as sporting man and
gambler, as is also his antagoni-t and
partner in business, Andrew Monteiro,-
The shooting. which took place in front
of the post Office, was brought about by
a dispute, during which Smelling knock
ed Monteiro down and kicked him. Be-
ing told by bystander not to strike
him, Smelling desisted, whereupon Mon.
teiro raising himself on his elbow, drew
a revolver and shot his assailant three
times in the right breast Monteiro then
attempted to cross the street, but before
he could do 80 Smelling. while almost in a
dying condition, drew his revolver and
deliberately aimed and fired at him, in
hicting slight wound. Monteiro is un-

will not live. The parties are well
known to the Philadelphia sporting fra
ternity.

the most wonderful caves known. Its
entrance is near Sugar Greek, and being

Of eight or ten miles, and is said to be
thirty miles long, containing a great num-
Der of large rooms, besides river and a
lake of good clear water. The rooms,
as is common in caves is limestone rock,
are ornamented with most magnificent
stalactites. which glisten in the light of
explorers torches as if set with dia-
mouds. This cave, which seems to rival
the famous Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
in extent and number of wonders, was
used as place of refuge during the re-
bellion, and upon its lake explorers found
an old boat left there by former occupants
Altogether, this cave, if correctly de-

wonderful scenery-Prcss.
