Here We the mighty Centaur's tread,

1oIo w tIo hiiyily OCiitoui N0ou,
See the long line OF my riad dead
With hoof of horse and human head
Rise up and speak
"'Twas proud Olympus gave us birth;
For u thousand years we roamed the earth
Eat perfumed flowers of the century plant
Drank liquid from the volcanoes mouth
Slew man and beast to play our part,
Then restored to life by the Centaurs art;
Chased wild mares on the field of Mars,
Lived on the earth, and slept among the stars
On other missions now we're sent
To bless mankind with an emolient,
OF which the world ne'er hath dreamt,
Even our CENTAUR EMINENT.
1t banishes pains and all such things,
Cures burns and scslds, poisonous stings-
Rheumatic horrors scares away,
Limbers stiff. joirts in a single day.
Poor crippds in their hobbling way,
Limp in on crutches-then walk away.
Fear no. dumb horse, thy friend now speaks,
Who'll heal your wounds, and make you leap
Ten pars-piles Of oats to bolt,
And frisk about like yonder colt.
Yellow wrapper is the thing for brutes,
White wrapper alone the family suits.

The Douglas Claim.

Upon this just claim the Washington
correspondent of the Boston Post thus
discourses:
A large, and evidently one Of the
fairest and most clearly proven claims
for cotton and other property, taken
during the war by the Federal army,
that has yet been presented against the
Government, is that Of Robert NJ. and
Stephen A. Douglas, the sons and sole
heirs of the late Hon. Stephen A. Doug
las, offered in the House recently. The
amount claimed is $250,000, for 1900
bales of cotton, and large amount of
plantation stock and implements, ex
elusive of animals, destroyed and used
for the troops, who, in March, 1868,
took the same from the Douglas plan
tation, in Washington county, Missis-
sippi. The evidence is abundant, and
is both coroborative and cumulative,
A much smaller amount is claimed
than, according to the proof they might
justly have demanded. There is an in
tercsting history connected with this
case, showing, among other things, the
unsolicited efforts that were made
through President Lincoln and by Gen.
Grant, to save the property Of the sons
of the then lately deceased statesman.
Until within few weeks the petition
ers have been unable to obtain all the
evidence required, so that heretofore
they could not have presented their
claim, and the limitation of the captur-
ed and abandoned property act, which
contained no saving clause as to minors,
having long since expired, their only
remedy is an appeal to Congress.

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
decaycd; 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 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 UNI
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 u 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.
