hair where the follicles are destroyed,

of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free

make some preparations dangerous, and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can

THE WORLD
FOR
1871

T1HE YEAR 1871 BIDS FAIR TO BE
h one of the most important and fruit
full in our political history. In it will be
shaped the great issues Oh which the
Presidential election of 1872 must turn.
1t will be an era of new political energy
in the South, which, for the first time in
twelve years. comes unfettered into ma
tional canvass and an era of confident
hope to the Democratic party everywhere.
The superannuated issueS on which the
Radical party have stood are passing out
of politics, and the laundering imbecility
and prohigate extravaganza OF General
Grants administration need only to. be
faithfully exposed to turn the tide of pnb-
lie feeling strongly against it. In this,
the great work of the coming year, The
World will act no secondary part. Its
location in the great focus Of national com
merce and intelligence, the freshness and
abundance of its news, and its recognized
position as the leading organ of the Demo
cratic party, lay upon it a mission and
apostleship which it will discharge with
untlinching boldness, vigor, fidelity, and
zeal 1t will be in constant counsel and
communion with the tried leaders and
sagacious statesmen of the party in all the
States of the Union, cordially cooperating
with them, and they with it, in building
up the party in order and unity; healing
differences, infusing confidence, inviting
and encouraging new proselytes. and lead
ing on the party as q bold and unbroken
phalanx to the great triumph which
awaits it in 1872 e,
The share allotted to The World, in this
combined and disciplined movement of
the Democracy, in their onward march to
victory, is the dissemination of political
truth q work which can be fruitful only
in proportion to the extent of its circula-
ton. We ask Democrats everywhere to
aid us in scattering the good seed broad.
cast over the whole land, during the period
which is so important in reference to the
coming harvest. t+a
AS A VEHICLE OF NEWS
The World (now in tho eleventh year of
its existence) has always held the first
rank among metropolitan journals. Its
news on every topic of Interest political,
commercial, literary, social, domestic, and
foreign, is always fresh, abundant, various,
and accurate. comprising the whole circle
of current intelligence, always rendered
with such promptitude and spirit that tue
paper has large and increasing circula-
ton among political opponents for its
superiority in these respects.
AS AN ORGAN OF OPINION
The World is fearless, trenchant, indomita-
bic; ardent in its advocacy of sound Dem
ocratic principles, unsparing in its denun-
citation Of political abuses and corruption
and not confirming its discussions to mere
politics, 1t takes wide range, touches
upon great variety of subjects, and aims

writing the 18th, Count Bismarck ar
rived here, and was received at the
station by his family and 3 few person
al friends. Ever since his arrival his
residence has been crowded by people
leaving cards upon the statesman of
the age. At Frankfort the leading
personages OF the city awaiting him
on the platform begged leave to pre-
sent their respects to the diplomatic
leader of the campaign. The Count
left the carriage, aad after returning
thanks conversed freely with those
present. To one he said that Cham
paigne would not be occupied long, as
the French were sure to pay the in
.demnity as soon as possible, to rid
themselves Of their d~isagreeable guests.
To another he remarked that the
French National Assembly would have
preferred his occupying Paris, disarm-
ing the National Guard, and keeping
the mob in order; but as the German
government he'd determined not to
sacrifice another man after the essen
tial objects of the campaign had been
secured, he could not oblige the AS.

he got to Metz the climate became

fact, worthy of the country the city
now belongs to-" The Count then
proposed a hurrah for the German En-
peror, and amid the shouts of the as

How q Farmer Dug DoubIoons, and
How his Farm was PIoWed by
Fortune Hunters.

Since the published accounts of the
finding of Spanish doubloons on the
farm of A. Van Siclen, at Jamica
South, the country Whereabouts has
been overrun with fortune hunters,
and Mr.. Van Siclen and his family
have been greatly annoyed by the
many inquiries as to the amount and
the place where the treasure was found.
Mr. Van Siclen s story is this: For
years past reports have been circulated
in the neighborhood that gold was
buried on his farm at the time Of the
occupation of Long Island by the
British These stories have gained
credence, especially among the eolored
people who obtained the seryices0fa
colored man residing at Flushing, and
said 10 be the possessor of a magic
word, which indicates where gold is
buried. They proceeded at night to
q piece of woods at the lower end of
Mr.. Van Siclen's farm, and dug sever
al large holes in spots indicated by the
rod-man as the places where the treas
ure would be found. Unsuccessful in
this search, the rod-man was again ap-
pealed to, and the sight of Mr.. Van
Siclen's barn was indicated as the spot
where treasure lay. This piece OF
news came to the cars OF Mr.. Van Sic
len, and he, fearing that his barn
would be undermined, obtained the as
sistance OF his neighbors, kept watch
for the diggers, and on their appear
ance. frightened them off Last week
Mr.. Van Siclen hired a stump pulling
machine, which he put in operation in
the woods where the gold was first
for. The machine being a
novelty, attracted a crowd of idlers.
Van Siclen, believing it a favorable
to further gull the credu-
loug darkies, dropped two doubloons
into the cavity from which a stump
had just been pulled, and Immediately
them up and exhibited them to
the crowd, who at one tell TO work
with shovels and hoes, making the dirt
fly in clouds. The man in charge of
the stump-pulling machine had heard
the stories of the buried treasure, be-
came greatly excited, and deserving his
machine, fell to digging also. The
party prosecuted their search uutil
nightfall, without success The stump
and credulous negroes still
believe that the treasure is buried on
the farm, and Mr.. Van Sicklen feels
alarmed at the breezeehe has
