-
Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation
which is due TO merit alone, We
a assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standards
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptiOns
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from failing
out, as it stimulates and nouriShes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigoE and
will create n new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A.. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayero If Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

INTER STATE CoURTHsIEs, The proceed
ings in a quarrel between the Radical
Governor of Florday and the Radical
Lieut.. Governor and acting Governor OF
North Carolina illustrate the degradation
to which the dominant party has brought
official life in the United States The
loutenadt and acting governor of North
Carolina, Todd L. Caldwell, made re-
QUESTION upon Gov. Read of Florida, for
the rendition of one Littleield, fugitive
from justice. The Florida governor re.
fused to surrender the fugitive; and the
governor of North Carolina then offered
a reward of 900 for the apprehension
of Littlefield. In the hope of earning
this large reward, certain persons made
an unsuccessful attempt to seize Little.
field in Florida where he was hiding, and
smuggle him off to North Caralina This
brought forth proclamation from the
Florida governor in which he accuses the
governor of North Carolina of an at
tempt at abduction, and offers q reward
of $4,000 for has apprehension. One
governor setting price on the head of
another governor is novelty in our gov
ernmcnt, never seen before the party of
loyalty came into power--St Louis Re

Eg~ 1t is stated on what is claimed to
be reliable authority, that there is child
in Bristol, now 4 years of age, that is a
habitual smoker, and ncredable as it
may seem who has been addicted to the
habit for three years and nine months.
When the little fellow was only months
old he held out his little hands and cried
for his fathers pipe The stem Of the
pipe was held to its mouth, when it took
few whifs Of the smoke and was made
sick for a few minutes. The baby was,
as learn, afflicted with asthma, which was
greatly relieved by the tobacco smoke,
and no bad effects from the child's smok-
ing have ever been observed, except in
the first trial as mentioned above and he
has smoked almost daily, ever since. He
usually uses a pipe filed with tobacco,
but will puff away at a cigar equally to
any older invcterate Observation-Disclosures

ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE.
little Rock Gazette Report !

Legislative proceedings continued
from first. page.
Mr. Meek urged the adoption of the
minority report. The present law con-
| fers power that cannot safely be WELD
ed by one man. He knew some of the
operations and effect of the law Persons
in his county were forced to send adver-
tisements and have them published in pa
pers that never come to the county, and
the consequence was, when many impor
tant sales were made, the time would
come on and no one would know any
thing about it. This law has built up a
vast political machine. Publishers of
newspapers had told him that they were
as good conservatives as he was, but they
were forced to advocate the governors
views, because it was bread and meat to
them. He was opposed to trammeling
the press-it was contrGry to the genius
of republicanism.
Mr.. Steele said when he submitted the
majority report, to reject the bill, he was
under the impression that if the report
was dNtoptCu, Iic plii Nouiu uob NhciSpg
be billed-he was satisfied now that it
would, and he should vote for the mi
nority report, although he opposed the
bill, and should vote against it Oh its
passage.
Mr.. Ham, author Of the bill, said he
was willing it should stand on its merits
Every man who favors justice can see
that the present law does cut otfall COM
petition, and that is said to be the life Of
| trade. AS q printer, who had worked
his way up from a devil to a seat in the
Legislature land he doubted if he had
been bettered much )-he knew the pres,
ent law operated heavily against practical
printers. Out of all the southern States,
the statute books of Arkansas alone con-
tain such law. He instanced Georgia
where such a law was passed, but Gov.
Bullock being opposed 20 it, issued q
proclamation designating every paper in
the State as an official paper If any
member could adduce any reasons why
this bill should not pass, he would like
to hear it.
The motion to adopt the minority re-
port, and engross for third reading, was
then adopted BY the following vote

Lieut.. Gov. johnson and the Quo War.
ranto Case.

The following are extracts from th,
editorial review Of the Little Rock Gazen
Of the 18th and 10th, on the high handed
measure Of Gov, Clayton to GUST Lieut.
Gov. johnson:
The quo tca,rdnto case against Lieut.
Gov. Johnson came up in the supreme
court on yesterday, on demurrer of de
fendant to the sutiiciency of the informa
ton filed The grounds Of demurrer ar,
that the provisions of the schedule TO the
constitution requiring all persons elected
under the constitution, to qualify and en-
ter upon their offices in fifteen days after
being notified Of their election, is merely
directory and not mandatory in its nature
Mr. Benjamin, on the part of defend
ant, read the authorities relied upon in
support of the demurrer.
Judge Yonley and Gen. CAN'T argued
in support Of the information and against
the demurrer. The argument was closed
with a very able defence by Judge Rose
ment, and adjourned till two o'clock nex'
day.
At 3 o'clock, the supreme court met
pursuant to adjournment. The court
room was crowded with spectators more
than usually earnest in expression. After
the reading of some opinions, Judge Nc
Clure announced that in the Johnson case
the majority Of the court had agreed that
the demurrer should be overruled, for
which they would give their reasons
wehn they came to pass on the whole
case Judge Gregg and Judge Harrison
severally, announced their dissent, and
regretted that the exigencies Of the case
as understood by the majority, had not
allowed them time to prepare written
opinions, which they proposed hereafter
to do. Judge Wiltshire asked what furth-
er steps counsel would take; to which
Judge Yonlev replied that the writ should
issue. Judge Wiltshire then asked coun-
sci for defence whether they had anything
further to say why the writ should not is
sue; to which Judge Rose replied that
they relied on the matters set up in the
response. On this the court had decided
to hear er pdrtie allidavits, and it was fin.
ally agreed that they should be presented
on the l7th inst, at 10 o'clock, to which
the court adjourned.

Mr.. Meek moved to adjourn, but with
drew the motion to allow Mr.. Neal to
present resolution reciting that judg-
ments to the amount Of about $4,000
had been obtained against the State,
through the willful neglect Of the attor-
ney general, and instructing the auditor
not to pay said claims and instructng
also, the committee appointed to inquire
into malteasance Of any officer, to inquire
into the charges against the attorney
general, and report as early as possible
After some further remarks, and seve.
raj amendments and substitutes were Of.
fered and voted down, the original mo.
