VITALIzE THE HAIR.-Why does the
hair become harsh and dry-why does it
fall out-why does it become gray2
Simply because the life has gone out of
it. The fbers draw sustenance from
the scalp as the grass draws aliment
from the soil, and when the supply Of
nutriment is cut off in either case the
product withers and dies. AT the first
symptom of decay, therefore, the unfed
or halffed roots of the hair should be
refreshed and reinforced by LYoEs
KATHAIRoN, the only preparation which
will nourish the filaments and keep them
in vigorous condition after they have
begun to suffer from deficiency Of their
natural stimulant. AS long as the Ka-
thairon is faithfully used, with proper
degree of friction, morning and evening,
SO long will it be impossible for the hair
to whiten or fall out from the scalp. ,y

To the Editor Of the Ledger
viii Mr.. George R. Powell answer the
following questions: ..r
Is il true that after the close Of his
term of office in 1861 there remained
deficiency against him upon the books
ofthe State Comptroller Of 81, 900?
Is it true that he made an effort since
tne war to settle his accounts with Comp
troller Hatchard, and could not do SO
on account of such deficiency
Is it true that the proceeds for the
year 1862, which few years since were

now missing from the officer
Was not Mr.. Powell the confidential
clerk and in full charge Of the office Of
Phil Garyin when be was Tax Collector
of this county, and in whose Office there
was defalcation of $4,000 r
In propounding this question / do
not wish to cast any imputation upon
the memory Of Phil Gsrvin, as he was
known TO be an honest and upright cit.
zen, but, unfortunately. incapable Of
transacting the business OF his office.
In this we speak Of the management Of
the office.
As TO NIB. PowELLs POLITICAL RECORD.
Is it true that when General John
Sale made his celebrated KROtC- Nothing
speech in this city in 1886, when, al
the closing Of his remarks, General Sale
used the following language: THAT
all foreigners should be sent back TO the
old country, or else three points be de-
signated where the ships that brought
them TO this country should receive
them, and that the foreigners should be
made 10 return, or be thrown overheard
these remarks were Endorsed by Mr..
Powell, he patting General Sale on the
shoulder, and saying, I" Go 1t, john
these are my sentimentsf
Is il true that in the last campaign for
county officers that George Il. Powell
gave bis support 70 aud worked for the
success Of Bill Mclean, the Radical can

DEATH OF JUAREz.

The death Of President Juarez,
Of Mexico, on the 18th instant,
has created revolutionary spirit
throughout that country not soon to
be crushed out by the followers Of
Juarez, the murderer Of Macmillan.
Since 1853 Benito Juarez had been a
kind of Mexican President, sometimes
victorious then again fugitive. Benito
Juarez was born in 1897 in villa Juarez
(then called Jatlan). 10 the State OF
Oaxaca. In 1916 he came prominently
into public life as a member Of Congress
From ls4s TO 1852, and again in 1856,
he oficiated as Governor of Oaxaca, a
hot.bed of revolution, which his wise adj
ministration pacifcated. In 1853 he
was banished by Santa Anna, and re-
sided two years in New Orleans. Soon
after his return he was made Minister OF
Justice by President Alvarez. In No
yember. 1851, President Comonfort made
him Secretary of State, for which post
he vacated the Governorship of Oaxaca.
He was almost Immediately advanced
to the position of Chief Justice OF
the Republic, for which his splendid
legal education admirably qualified him.
and two months later became Comon-
fort s successor by virtue Of the eonsti-
tutional provision, Two serious revoln-
tions we're crushed out by the Juarez
party, and the French and Spanish inva-
sion in support of Macmillan plunged
the country into a three years war.
Having been twice driven fromhis cap
ital, Juarez always managed to return
in triumph, Within the last few months
he had been engaged in crushing out
little rebellion gotten up by his old com
rade in arms, General Profrio Dias, and
Just as he was on the eve Of success, his
death is announced. Juarez was Of
mixed blood, and was Of a rather blood
thirsty disposition, yet considering his
opportunities in semi-ciVilized nation,
he may be considered as remarkable
man, of tireless patience, and one who
adhered rigidly to constitutional obliga-
tons.

Some one has written to the University
Monthly TO inquire II any changes in
the weather are attributable TO the
influence of the moon The editor re-
TERED the communication to Commodore
Maury, His answer will disappoint, q
great many weatherwise folks. The
changes OF the moon have no effect
upon the weather. The moon changes,
says Commodore Maury, every ~ days,
consequently every change in the
weather must take place within the pc
Rod of S.6 days before or after a moon
change, and her worshippers give her all
the credit tor it. The moon governs the
tides, but not the atmosphere, The
most faithful observers have failed to
detect any tide in the latter, or any va
riableness under the moons influence,
SO this vexed matter may be considered
as set at rest and we, can defy the
weather prophets. afisy d4al

snIRHnR AND PoLIrIcs.

Heat so far as personal experience is
concerned should not be measured by
the thermometer, by degrees Of Fahren-
heit or centigrade. Many Of our citi-
zens become indignant because in these
sweltering times the thermometer indi-
Gated on many days comparatively low
temperature, whilst their inner con-
seriousness, secured by outer causes,
suggested degrees near the boiling point.
Without taking into consideration the
hot political canvass or the drinks par.
taken by the indignant citizens, it is a
fact that our sensations Of heat depend
less on actual temperature than on its
conditions as TO dryBess and dsmpness.
In dry air the evaporation Of perspira
ton produces cooling effect but wher
the air is heavy with moisture, as after q
rain, one will feel hotter when the Their
mometer indicates 50 degrees than on q
dry day when it marks ITO degrees
Discomfort and heat should be meas
ured not by the thermometer, but by the
hygrometer; the former only marks oui
woe while the latter sOhens our indigna
ton. Misery depends on air filed Will
vspor, while happiness depends on DR.!
air. Politicians should consult the by
grometer daily so as to be able to ealeu
late when furious defamation and ge'
ticulation can be INDUCED in with impu
nifty and without perspiration.

Two years ago last Saturday M. Pre-
vost .Paradol, Minister from France to
Washington, committed suicide by blow
ing out his brains. He landed in this
country during the heated season, and
the furious heat, coupled with the ex-
citement caused by the Franco-Prussian
war, it is supposed, affected the brain OF
the unfortunate gentleman. But here
comes part Of coincidence, for just at
this time, when the heat is fearful, the
new French Minister. Marquis de
Nosilles, has landed on our shores, but
we hope the comedies may not be drawn
any closer as to the careers of the two
diplomats.
