stand that the question of procuring steam
fire engine for the use Of the city is begin
ming to bs agitste by some OF our citizens.
We consider it high time our people took
into consideration our wau's ia III J

towns Of our population and property value
labor under the disadvantage We DO a.
fires, and we venture to say nearly all
Of them eau boast Of possessing a steam fire
engine which eau be relied on to d. e!fec-
tive service when required. Scarce y "A fire has
occurred hare within the past half dozen
years, but what the necessity tor steamer
was apparent. We believo in many eases
thousands ofdollars worth of property de-
stroysd might have been saved with the use OF
a steam fire engine. Our neighborlng to vn
OF Jefferson has set us the example, haviog
purchased good effective working steam
engine year so ago. This spirit Of en-
terprise among her citizens is worthy OF
imitation by US. The demand here for :,
steamer is greater than al place the size
of Jefferson, and a due regard to the Interests

yet. As / was brushing my hat young
dandited specimen of humanity came in. Re-
solved that he should be the last, went to
work upon hims When he came to pay me
/ was, to say the least, somewhat surprised
to see him deliberately produce my own
pocket-book--the one l had lost. Standing
ON no ceremony, snatched it from his hand,
and demanded in no very gentle tone how it
came IN his possession.
Without stopping to reply other than by
volley of impecations as he reached the door,
he tumbled rather than ran down the stairs
into the street. Waiting for neither hat nor
coat, followed-the pocket-book in my
hand. We measured off considerable ground
in short space of time. On, OH. 1t was an
exciting chase. Men, boys, and dogs joined
the pursuit; the cries of stop thief growing
louder and increasing. What an uproar there
was. Suddenly came a flash of light sharp
and vivid for an instant, then utter darkness.
A policeman, installing me for the thief, had
gently tapped me upon the head, as their Gus
tom is, and with the usual result, the thief
escaped, and the victim was apprehended.
My appearance told heavily against me but
my story being fully corroborated by the boy
at the barber-shop, was released.
Upon examining the wallet found my own
money intact, and about one hundred and
| thirty dollars besides. That is all the story"
"Not bad speculation after ALL" said L,
as he concluded.
"Well, perhaps so. No, it was not; but
still my advice holds good. Never place a
| railway ticket in your wallet"

Strength OF the French Army.

The tremendous mder-current OF intrigue
and preparation for another deadly struggle
which is going on in Europe was never better
illustrated than by the recent announcement
that France now has at her disposal 81 900
soldiers all ready for service. This statement,
which was at first received with the mere
dulity which it apparently merited, is never
theless confirmed very authoritatively. The
army which was imprisoned in Germany,
numbering about 1896, 900 men is on very
good footing. Sobered by its long captivity,
It has prepared itself for vengeance. There
are also 68 900 reserve troops of really excel
lent character, and 423, 900 gardes mobiles,
who have "seen SERVICE" but who cannot
exactly claim the distinction OF being vet
Grams. The men are not to be disputed, how
ever. They really exist as an organized force,
and as force willing and anxious to hight.
France intends, within the next two years, TO
bring her regular strength up to half million
of men, and to thus have two armies, one OF
veterans and regulars, and the other, five
hundred thousand in number also, of militia,
at her immediate command. Her artillery is
still in bad condition, but great efforts are in
progress for its renovation and Improvement.
Germany has found it necessary to very much
| improve her own artillery, and will no more
than equal France in the vigor of her ameli-
Grafton of that effective arm of the service.
France is still determined on speedy and
terrible vengeance upon Germany, and the
wise may not be able to restrain the over-im-
patient. If trouble begins at all, it will prob
ably occur shortly after the payments are
nearly completed, and on some pretext con-
nectcd with the occupation" Thu. rumoI
| that the occupying forces will be strengthened
is doubtless true, but of itself has no alarm
ing significance. 1t is precautionary meas.
ure, but is often taken on the strength OF a
rumor which proves totally without founda-

From Che Golden Age.
PROMIsE.

Do you know, sweet heart, that under the
snow
A million roses lie
That over the clouds which hang below
The stars are in the sky?
That a rainbow shone ere the day was gone
Over the darkest place?
That the fair new moon goes rounding on
To the fullness of her face?
That our garden brook, so small and slow,
Is widening toward the river?
That under the ice its faithful flow
Makes music sweet as ever?
That the naked trees are all a-throb
With the sweet blood in their veins!
That blindly reaching they yearn and sob
For the blessed April rains?
That the precious seeds of life are pressed
Under the frozen sod,
Till the great earth warns through her faith
full breath
With the spirit of her God?

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 a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, 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 iniu-
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 cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

The colored people that were held as
slaves by the Indians in the Indian Territory
until freed by the Thirteenth Amendment are
becoming somewhat uneasy about their sta
tus in the country in which they were born
and raised. Their position is an anomalous
one. They are not enumerated or claimed as
members Of any tribe, and they are much dis
turbed by rlmors to the effect that they will
have to leave the Territory. They have de-
ternined, however, to pick out their land and
claim equal rights with the Indians in all tri-
bal property, and appeal to the Government
to protect them in the enjoyment of the ben
eft of all treaties made with the Indians.
They forw large portion of the population
and are said to be quiet, Industrious
of them possessing considerable property
and, for the chances they have had, pretty
intelligent.
The new United States Senator from
Alabama Goldthwaite is his name has writ
ten home to Alabama: "Tel the Democracy
to stand up square, for am strongly in hopes
that day Is dawning upon u.s." The gushing
Senator should have had sense enough to
keep his mouth shut a little longer.
The Albany Epeaing Journal says of the
Cincinnati movement: "As an exceptional
movement in politics, it attracts curious atten-
ton, like double-headed calf or any other
anomalous and unusual phenomenon"
