PERSONAL. We were pleased to re-
cciye a call, during the past week, from
DR.. Ayers traveller, who was in our
town devoting his time and attention to
the preparations Of the great medicine
man. This call has become pleasant
annual to us from the able and reliable
business character of the accomplished
gentlemen whom this firm sends out TO
transact their business. No house IS
better known or valued by the press for
its promptneSs in settlement than the
well established and popular {. Aver
& Co., Lowell Mass, whose medicines
have become a household necessity, and
won the confidence and praise OF all.
Our own acquaintance with them has
extended over a series of years. and we
lhavc invariably found them, their travel
crs and their medicines, worthy, OF the
concentrations they everywhere receive.

gloss and freshness Of youth, Ihln
hair is thickencd, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folliclcs 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 n 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 dandruIf, which is often so I'M
clearly 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 rich, glossy
lustrc, and grateful perfume.

control them. The testimony of our best cti
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders Of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
Weld to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. AS remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may re.y
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount Of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tons, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. As n safeguard TO
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely USE
multtudes are rescued from premature graves
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds securing sound and health-restornS
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Iniiu.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, aborous, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

A NECK BROKE.
A BOOzy NegrO.FaIIs Down into a Cellar
and DislOcates the Last joint Of
the Vertebrse.

Squire Spellman was called on last
evening to hold an inquest on the dead
body of Willis HAYS, a coiOred man, at
that hour stretched out on the grating in
the alley in rear of the Savings Bank of
Memphis. The Squire proceeded to
summon jury and gather up testimony.
When the jury had duly examined and
considered, they brought in thisverdict:
That Willis Hays came to his death
from the effects of fall into the cellar
under the Savings Bank Of Memphis"
Several witnesses were examined by
the jury, who gave such testimony as
led to the finding Of this verdict. Old
Henry Trigg, who is porter at the next
house, was sweeping out about six
O'Clock, when heheard dull thud. He
went to the back door and looked up
and down, but, seeing nothing, he re-
turned to his sweeping. A short time
afterward Sam Lane went there inquir-
ing for Hays. Sam Lane found the man
in the cellar, after little searching, and
then TTigg and another Samaritan took
the man out and stretched him upon
the grating, and sent for the Squire.
Hays and Lane had a lawsuit be-
tween themselves, which they settled
yesterday. 1t was sworn by one
witness that Hays was seen to take only
three drinks yesterday. All that could
be learned was, that the man fell into
the cellar and broke his neck. Hays
has been employed there for some time
past; was married man and had a
small family living in South Memphis.
The Benevolent Society, to which Hays
belonged, undertook to care for the body
and TO have it buried. This ended the
laborious effort of the Squire, so he got
his jurors to sign the verdict, and bid
ding them an affectionate farewell, told
them to go in peace.

CARD.

EDITORS APPEAL-On reflection ]
find that the language used in my card
of Monday evening, is calculated to mis-
lead the public, and to be interpreted as
rejecting upon Colonel Duff, which |
did not intend to do, and therefore I de-
sire to correct it so far as to do Justice to
him. The petition was handed to me,
as stated, in the First Circuit Court
room, Colonel Duff stating that it was
an application for Hackett's pardon,
drawn by Judge Wright. Colonel Duff
used no qualifying words, and as l knew
that the prosecutors had before recon-
mended the pardon, l signed it. No
blame could attach to Colonel Duff for
my not reading the petition, as it was
not his fault that l did not. On Satur-
day called on Colonel Duff for the Pc
tition to take copy, and he asked if
wanted to withdraw my name. He told
me that he had gwen a copy to the
Loewenstines, but that I could see the
original Monday. l am satisfied that
his departure for Nashville on Sunday
was caused by information received after
he saw me, and not by any desire to de-
ceive. There was also added to the pc
tition a positive disclaimer of any inten-
ton to reflect on counsel or the court.
This much is due to Colonel Duff.

ORPHANS CHRISTMAS.
The Churches and PastOrs-HOw to Do
Good and Dihuse Intelligence.

Some time ago the publishers of the
APPEAL, proposed to give one dollar for
each subscriber sent to US by auy
preacher of any denomination, to the
Orphans Home at Lauderdale Springs.
There are two thousand churches in
Mississippi, and if each church sends us
five subscribers, ten thousand dollars
would have gone to the Orphans Home.
The proposition is still open for accept
ance, and preachers can still act upon il,
collecting two dollars and a half and
sending one dollar to the Orphans
half to this Office. Surely there
are few church members in this
and adjacent States, who cannot
afford to be charitable and relieve the
wants of helpless children, on these
terms. In connection with the above.
wegive place to the appended letter:
WASHINGTON, December II, 1872.
EDITORS APPEAL: You will please
give notice to the officers of the Orphans
Home, at Lauderdale Springs, Missis-
sippi, that have made arrangements
with DR.. J. F. BOums, No. $50 Walnut

Secretary of the National Homestead at
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to receive
and educate four or five of the most in
tellectual of the boys, and four or five
girls, in the asylum, and he will furnish
to them transportation from Lauderdale
Springs to the National Homestead at
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. hope this
arrangement may be appreciated by the
officers of the Orphans Home, at
Lauderdale Springs, and they will re-
spond to DIR. J. F. Boums, No. $50 Wal
nut street, Philadelphia, and immedi-
ately place eight or ten of those orphans
under this most happy arrangement for
them. Your kind notice of this will
Oblige. Your friend truly,
