Every wear increases the popu:
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY on FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silkcn. Tho
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all eruptions and
dandrulf, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishcs
the llair-glands, BY its use, tho
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applic1-
tions, and gives the hair n splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

A brisk controversy is going on in the Con
necticut papers about the result of the recent
election. The list made by the official can
vassers shows, as has been already mentioned in
our columns, that the vote for governor was
very nearly equally divided between the republic
can and democratic candidates, but that, as the
votes were returned to them by the moderators
of the town meetings, English received a small
majority. But it is very plain, and hardly dis
puted, that such errors were made in two or
three towns, notable one Of one hundred votes
in New Haven, as, if corrected, would give
Jewell about one hundred majority. But the
democratic papers insist that the report of the
cauvassers is, or ought to be, final, and that the
legislature has no right to do anything more
than TO declare the result reported to
them by the canvassers. Taking this view, the
New Haven Register advises its numerous cor
respondents who had bets pending on the cleo
ton, that those who bet on English have won,
for the reas IN that the returns to the secretary
of state give him a clear majority over all other
persons voted for. Errors, if there are any, in
the returns of the moderators, the correction of
which would change the result, and which may
be inquired into by the legislature and corrected
by that body, would make no difference with
the bets, because they are always decided by the
Official declarations Of the canvassers and not
by partisan legislative bodies. The republican
papers, on the other hand, say with more reason
that the canvassers have power only, in the
words of the constitution, to make ga
fair list of the persons and number
of votes given for each, and lay the same be-
fore the general assembly, "and the said assem-
bly, shall declare the person whom they find to
be legally chosen" There is no doubt that the
legislature will take this view, and in doing so
their action cannot reasonably be called partisan
They will be discharging duty imposed on
them by the constitution. 1t is plain by the re-
port of the canvassers that they declined to take
into account possible errors for the purpose of
correcting them, considering their duty simply
ministerial. 1t is reasonable that there should
be authority somewhere TO correct mistakes in
the returns, and declare whom the people have
chosen. The constitution seems to have given |
this authority to the legislature, and they will |
probably exercise it fairly.
