The New Indian Commissioner.

"Gath" gives the Chicago Tribune the following sketch of the policy of General Walker, the new Indian commissioner:
 He says that the Administrations Indian policy is sensible, although he does not en- tirely absorb all the statements of Mir. Vim cent Colyer about the Apaches coming out and bearing palms and white flags. He thinks Mr. colyer legisates for an ideal Indian.
 General Walker says the Indian prefers blankets to buffalo robes, and is governed through the belly: that he has depraved passion for tea and coffee; and that he is nothing but great, overgrown child, sucking stick of candy. He thinks the candy had better be continued as it will make the say age more habyish and dependent, and is the cheapest way to take the heroic and rapa- cious elements out of him. He points to the fact that the Sioux have been suppressed by the candy policy for some time past. Two weeks of Indian war would cost more than years of the present compromising policv Every year of peace iightens the reins of sloth and dependence upon the Indian. and takes the warlike element out of his nature while, meantime, the country will fill up with settlers, before and behind, able to put him down without expense tothe State. if he ever grows sarly and restive- The Mormon war of 1858, ga, General Walker, had nearly cost m Administration its life and our whole ar my. its reputation. Pfeyaricatiag and tam pering with the Morfnons, we have girt them round with railways and gentiIe settlers, and can pinch them out between tho thumb and losefnger.
 Tks nay be all very well, 90 far d the Sioax and Mormons are concerned but SO r., ths candy policy spplied to the Ap-. eglIn lbr sone time past, has Il eapprssed pery many Of them nor will it, e long as thsy csn diversify tho honotony ofs seeking el1Ily IT stealins | horse, or shootillg a 66Slx or niner, wifh impunity.

Miss Edith o'Gorman, the escaped nun.
Miss o'G. is a splendid speaker, and en-
listed the close attention Of herlarge audi

stage to tho close Of her lecture. Several
of the points she made were heartily ap.
plAuded. Perhaps no lady lecturer ever
appeared. before our people who excelled
her as an elocutiodist; certainly no one
who used more c1laste and forciblc
language. Thcgeneral sentiment Of those
who heard Miss o'G., last evening, was
that Of qualification, and as she is to de-
liver second lecture this evening, there
is scarcely doubt that every chair in the
hall will be occupied. This afternoon at
81 o'clock mot 2 as printed on the pro.
grammeJ she will lecture to the ladies ex-
clusively.

gloss and freshness Of youtA., 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 atrophicd and
dccayed; 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 q pasty sedi.
ment, it will keep itclean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent tho hair
from turning gray or falling of, 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.
cleaniy 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, il does
not soil white cambria, and yet last,
long on the hair, giving it q rich, glossy
lustre, and Q grateful perfume.
