Not there alone her solitary wigwam lies
Wrapt in the mists Of weary winters skies;
MT where the brown deer, with athletic bound,
Springs nimby Ger the hunters ground
In vain, to cludc the deep-bayins hound
Whose instinct scents the bleeding wound;
Not in decpened soltudes within the forest glen,
In lonliness, far from the busy haunts of men /;
Wrapt in fhe fables of Superstition,
l0f mytheclogy, imagination and fctiopy
But farther west. upon the outer verge.
Where -oils tho Pacific, whose hillews surge
Upon the whitcned sands, as il to break the

That. like a wreath of snow. is round her an

Where tho sun, in glorious splender untold,

Where the wild sea bird iu his ocean fight.

Her looks in hue defy the ravens wing,

Her checks out-yie a mlldewed rsse
And a flaming quill ornaments her nose;
Her eyes outshne q taller candle:
Her nose would make good pump-handlc;
Her mouth covet when out of its reach
Bah. leave off slipping that luscious peach

For her ankles though last. are not the least

HairVigor,aI
For restoring. to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color. )

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickeued, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
ed'by its use Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can lie
saved by'this application, and stimd-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair il produced. Instead
OF fouling the hair with u pasty setfi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
, some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the lrair, the Vigor cap only
rbenetit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
+ Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
mot soil white cambria, and yet lasts
'long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
/ lustre, and a grateful perfume.

streets In no part Of the city has the spirit
of improvement and enterprise been more
clearly manifested. Within the past few years
the Gas and Water pipes have both been ex-
tended, and beautiful shade trees line the
side walks. A comparatively small appropri
alton expended on this street would give US

one hundred feet wide extending entire y
through the city. The citizens on this street
are already contemplating extending the pave

further delay the proper grade will be fixed,
and the small amount Of filing up and level
ing that is necessary may be completed.
Already the work being done has made great
change in the appearance Of the. street.

NARROW GUAGE RAILRoADs.-The New
York Tribune, in an article relating to Narrow
Guage Railroads, says that ''the old battle, so
6ercely waged forty years ago between Brunei
and the Stephensons, is to be fought again by
the theoretical and practical engineers OF our
day. The Stephensons Of old gained the fight
in the general adoption of their 4-foot-st-lnch
guage. and the advocates Of further reduction
bid fair to win in the present contest. If trunk
railways are the arteries of great country,
branch lines are the smaller vessels by which
the life blood is distributed from and returned
to the heart A well-equipped, narrow-guage
road, meeting present requirements, and those
likely to arise in the course OLA few years. can
often be built and worked where broad-suage
road, constructed at a greatly enhanced cost,
and cntailing much heavier expenses for opera
ton and repairs, would be out Of the question,
At the same time there would bc al annual
saving in the capital account Of the narrow
guage road, which would 60 far to meet the
expense Of development, in years to come

DAMAGES FOR INJURY ON PUBLIC ROADS.
The Prince Georgian furnishes the following
notice Of the case of Gibson vs.. County Com
missioncrs Of Calvert county, Nd This case
was removed to Prince Georges at the instance
of the plaintiff and tried at the late term OF the
Circuit Court:
This was an action to recover pay from that
county for injury to wagon and buggy of the
plaintiff, which were broken in travelling over
the public roads The plaintiff having made
no claim for exemplary damages in his decara-
ton, the Court ruled out all evidence upon this
point, and instructed the jury that the defend
ants were responsible for damages of this char
actcr unless they ensued from the lack Of due
care and diligence by the plaintiff. The de-
PENDANTS contended that they were not rcponsi-
bic for such damages, and that the plaintiff
had not exercised due caution to avoid the IT,
cidents this road being VIGOROUSLY in L bad
condition, and another road in better order,
nearly as convenient to him. The Court, how
ever, ruled that the fact, if sustained, would
not 2xoneratc the Commissioners from rcSpon-
sibility, the plaintiff being entitled to use either
road in his discretion and instructed the jury
that il they found that otherwise the plaintiff
had used due care, then he was entitled to re-
cover; and the jury, after short deliberation,
brought in verdict for the plaintiff for SlG0.
This Is an important question, and will proba-
bly, be ravlcwed by the county officers
