, Every year increases the POPULAR
: ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
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 only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
!, extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
i nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
sThe constituents are pure, ard care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and / consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The Will ofMr. Greeley.

New York, Dec l0-At White Plalus
yesterday, the daughters Of the latc Horace
Greeley, with few friends. accompanied by
counsel. appeared before the Surrogate to offer
for probate the will Of their father. This will
was executed on the 29th Of November, 1872
1t had been written by Mr.. Greeley some time
ago, but was presented to him for execution
only few hours before his death. 1t gave all
his property equally To his twodanghters. This
instrument had been placed among his private
papers by Mr.. Greeley, and was only taken
from among them mt the time Of his last attack
and at the first lucid interval thereafter offered
20 him for acknowledgment. 1t the same
time, counsel appeared before the Surrogate.
to contest this will. and offering III It's stead
one Of January, 1871. The contestants were
Samuel H. St. Clair Richard II. Manning,
aud Charles Storrs, the TWO latter being namsd
Us executors
Counsel for the contestants then SAID that nc
hoped the proponents OF the will would ac-
quiescc in the will Of 1871. lie thought the
will executed by Mr. Greeley before his death
lid great injustice, inasmuch as It gave all his
property to Miss Ida with qualifications that
one half was to be used by her Ut her own dis
erection, in the support aud education Of her
sister Gabrielle, that some relatives would be
deprived of property intended for them. The
ccuascl for the daughters said that these re-
mark were uncal!cd for and announced that Miss
Ida had offered to assign to her sister c-halt
Of the property; also to grant annultes 10 the
relatives The Misses Greeley then declined
10 consider any proposals for a compromise.
Regular proceedings for the contest Of the
will cusued on the ground Of iucalacity of the
tcstators to execute the will of 1872. Tho first
witness was Miss Lsmpson, who testified that
she became witness to the will on tho day
NIr. Greeley died. Mr. Greeley was then, {"
few hours before his death, conscious and ra
tio.al. After some further examination OF this
witness an adjournment followed. The will
of 1871, gives The property to his daughters,
