gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured 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 be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- 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- tion 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 hair, the Vigor can only benefit 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 not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

is feared two or three will be compelled to

Company stood - high in that commuuity
~ Il does 10 this, and the lasge 1rssaut Il
risks upon the finest property IN Chicago

Its losses are estimated to be- a. great as
those of the Pacific. The cash assets Of
the Company are but 100000. The
Union Insurance Company is estimated to
have risks amounting to between $200, 900
aud 100000. The risks of this company
we're also of small amounts and widely sep

The COlOred Vote.

Nothing 10 che new census can excite
sa6rs surprise than the fact Of the large
increase Of our ooloyed population since
1860, Until the, returns Of the census
came 10 it was generally believed that, on
account Of the upheaval Of Southern In-
stitutions consequent upon the war and
the overthrow Of slavery, the colored pop
alation had hardly held its own through
the last ten turbulent years whereas il
tutny out that it has increased during that
decade by 1882 souls. --f' i'a'7- III.
There has been an increase Of the col
ored population in every State and Terri
tory except Virginia, Kentucky, West
Virginia, and Missouri. As compared
with the census Of 1860, Virginia 3,164,
and Missouri 482. Bat it is only necessary
to look over the census tables to ascertain
where portions Of the negroes in these four
States went during the war. The natural
increase did not sink into the ground, but
that Of Virginia fed to the Districts of
Columbia, that of Kentucky to Ohio, In
diana and Illinois; that of West Virginia
to Ohio: and that of Missouri to Iowa
and Kansas. The increase Of negroes in
the District Of Columbia; and in tho So
called free States just named was 96, 296
figures which can only be accounted for
by large emigration thither from the
four former slave States whose population
has diminished since 1860.
The entire number of negroes in the
country, according to the new census, is
1850, ,009.- This is almost exactly one
eighth of the whole population. The nc
gro, therefore is very important element
in the United States, in whatever light he
is contemplated. In point Of numbers he
holds his ground with extraordinary tcua-
city, while his steady advance in intclli-
gence, education, wealth, and influence is
unquestionable. As political power the
negroes of the Union have suddenly risen
to an Importance which political parties
will do we'll to consider. Disregarding the
Territories, and looking only to the States,
the number of negroes therein according
to the census is 4,835, 1O6. Estimating
the number of voters at two out Of every
eleven iuhabitants-and this is the usual
estimate-the number of colored voters in
the thirty seven States is $40, ,l10. The
following table, disregardiug minute frac-
tious, will show how these voters are dis
trihuted amonp the several States.
