Every year increases the populari-
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 andperfect-
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 dandruff, 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 new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A.. Hayes, MD,
State Assayerof Massachusetts,, says,
aThe constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality
and T consider it the BEST PREpA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

In the beginning of the present CEN
tury everything was favorable to the
prosperity of our shipping interests.
The nations of Europe were embroiled
in the Napoleonic wars, and SO long as
remained at peace we had almost mo-
nopoly of the carrying trade. Having
become invoved in war with England
we lost the great advantage ari ing from
our neutral position. and the consequent
ces were anything but favorable 70 our
shipping. 1t appears, from the forego-
ing table, that while in 1910 our tonnage
was 1 ,424, ,7S4, IN 1880 it was but l, ,191.-
776, so that in twenty years We abso-
lutely retrograded in the amount of our
tonnage. z E89
By far the most prosperous era OF our
shipping interests was from 1850 to 1860.
during which time our shipping increas-
ed about two million tons. From 1851
to 1866 it increased thirty eight and
half per cent, while that of England
and her colonies increased only eighteen
and three-fourths per cent. These were
the years when our ship-yards turned
out those splendid clipper ships which
defied the ships of all the world besides.
These were years when in every harbor
on the globe could be seen floating the
proud banner of the stars and stripes.
Those proud tokens of our peoples great
ness were not placed on the ocean by
Government subsidies wrung from the
sinews Of the toiling millions, but by
the enterprise and skill of free and un-
tnmmeled industry. In those bright
days there was no whining about being
unable to compete with the pauper labor
of Europe, and there were no complaints
that our mechanics were inferior to
those of England in this department
Our workmsn oonll outstrip all eompe'
titors in inventive genius aud mechani'
cal skill. a

EDUCATING GIRLs.-Educating girls
for household duties ought to be con-
sidered as necessary as instruction in
reading, writing, and arithmetic, and
quite as universal. We are in our
houses more than half of our existence,
and it is the household surroundings
which affect most largely the happiness
or misery of domestic life. If the wife
knows how to keep house" if she un-
derstand how to "set a table, - if she
has learned how things ought to be
cooked, how beds should be made, how
carpets should be swept, how furniture
should be busted, how the clothes should
be repaired, and turned, and altered,
and renovated if she knows how pur-
chases can be made to the best advan-
tage. and understands the laying in of
provisions, how to make them go farth-
est and last longest if she appreciates
the Importance of system, order, tidl-
ness, and the quiet management of chill
dren and servants, then she knows how
to make little heaven of home-how
to win her children from the street; how
to keep her husband from the club
house, the gaming-table and the wine-
cup. Such a family will be trained to
social responsibility, to business success,
and to efficiency and usefulness in what
ever position may be allotted to them.
1t may be safe to say that not one girl
in ten in our large towns and cities en-
ters into married life who has learned to
bake a loaf of bread, to purchase q
roast, to dust o paiutinS-to sweep
CARPET. or to cut and fit and make her
own dress. How much the perfect
knowledge of these things bears upon
the thrift, the comfort and health of
families, may be conjectured, but not
calculated by figures. 1t would be an
immeasurable advantage to make be-
ginning by attaching kitchen to every
girls school in the nation, and have
lessons given daily in the preparation
of all the ordinary articles of food and
drink for the table; and how to purchase
them in the market to the best advan-
taoe, with the result of large saving of
money, an increase of comfort, and
higher health in every family in the
land.-Hdll's Journal.

American Shipping and Ship
al Building

Hon. Alexander Mitchell. Representa-
tive from Wisconsin, delivered a speech
in Congress on the 9Th of April, on a
subject of deep interest to the people Of
Puget Sound, from which we make the
following extracts:
Mr.. MITCHELL said:
Mr.. SPEAKER: The question of how
best to revive the ship-building interests
and external carrying trade Of the United
States Is one the correct solution of
which will affect in great degree both
the material interests of our people and
the standing and importance of this ra-
ton in the eyes of the other nations of
the world. Our national pride, as we'll
as our material interests, is involved in
the solution of this question.
If history has taught one lesson more
plainly than another, it is that those
nations which have excelled in commerce
have been marked for the enterprise,
intelligence. and general comfort of their
people, as well as for their power as
States.
Tyre, Carthage, Egypt, Venice. Ge-
noa, the cities of the Hanseatic League,
and the Dutch republic. with others that
l might name, were leaders in the civil
ization and power of the world, and took
the front rank in their day in promoting
the comfort and elevation of their peo-
pies, and spreading around the world
the bl ssings of civilization.
Sir Walter Raleigh was about right
when lie said that
Whosoever commands the sea commands
the trade of the world; and whosoever COM
mands the trade of tie world commands the
riches OF the world, and the world ITSELF"
1t would indeed be difficult to overes-
innate the beneficial effects of COM
merce, not only as sou ce of national
wealth, but as giving fresh 'ife to indus
try and invention, and inspiring the
people who engage in it with enlarged
views. 1t has well been said that q na-
ton of traders can never be nation of
slaves.
OUR SHIPPING, ITS RISE AND FALL.
From the enterprise, energy. spirit,
and ability of our people, and from the
physical characteristics of the country,
il would seem as if no nation cOuld ont
strip US in the navigation of the seas;
and no sooner was the independence of
the colonies achieved, than they began
to take that advanced position in the
world of commerce for which they were
so clearly adapted. To show the pro-
gress they made in the carrying trade of
the world, give the tonnage of the
United States every five years from 1880
to the present time, as follows;
, 1872-05-16

Secondly. To revive our shipping I
would recommend that American citi-
zens be allowed to purchase foreign
built vessels when they find it for their
interest end profit to do so, and enter
them on the American registry. As the
case now stands, we cannot build ships.
and are not allowed to buy ships, and
can il be surprising that we have no
ships ?
But, objects the Secretary of the Teas
ury, this will stimulate ship-building in
England. do not believe we can slim
uiate ship-building in England any more
effectually tLan we have been doing dur
ing the last ten years. and am sure the
measure here propose would soon have
the opposite effect. Multiply shipown-
ers among us, and we will soon multiply
ship-builders. Ship-owners will prefer
to have repairing done when they can
under their own supervision, and es-
pecially when the abolition of the dnties
shall have made it equally cheap. The
greater number of men there are among
us owning ships, interested in ships,
talking ships, &C., the more will our
shlp-bnilders interests be likely to re-
vive. What is there about ship that
it should be regarded by our law as al
most felony to buy a foreign built
one Are Americans not fit to Judge
what it is safe and profitable for them to
do in this matter, that Congress has
barred such transactions by law? If
we have none of. the profits arising from
ship-building, at least we may be allow
ed to enjoy some of the profits of ship
owning of the wealth made in
frelghts.
find in report of one of the meet
ings of the National Board of Trade,
held year or two ago, statement as
follows in relation to the profits arising
from ocean steamship navigation In
| 1869 one of the lines from this country
to country in Europe whose citizens
are permitted to purchase Clyde-built
iron ships and run them O foreign ports

four per cent. was appropriated for in
terest, showing gross profits amounting
to forty-four per cent. Why should an
American desiring to embark in such an
enterprise be denied the protection of
his country's flag, and be compelled to
sneak in below the protecting agis of
some other Power Let us throw
aside such petty, narrow-nlinded legis-
lation, and adopt such as will be worthy
of this age of progress and freedom.

A special despatch to the Philadel-
pbia Inquirer, dated Washington, April
IL, says: "Quite q commotion was
made in the House to-day by a move
ment to have the Republican members
all sign paper indorsing the nomina-
ton of General Grant at Philadelphia,
and repudiating the Cincinnati Couven-
ton, in order to have the Endorsements
read at the New York meeting tonight.
When the papers were first circulated
everybody signed them, on the ground
that to refuse would be considered an
act of disloyalty to the Republican par
ty. Before the House had been can
vassed some snags were struck. The
Massachusetts, men ref1sed point blank
to interfere, and Ohio then broke, five
refusing to sign two in Illinois and
several scattering members declined,
and many of them who did sign required
the Endorsement TO be watered down till
it was of very little value. Not a few
signed with mental reservations of {
pretty wide scope, and some thought
the fact that certificates were needed
was an evidence of weakness and alarm
which was very significant"
, 1872-05-16

NEwsPApERs.-The bold and manly
stand taken by many Republican news
papers in denouncing the rings and cor
ruptions of the late Republican Conven-
ton, is an auspicious opening of a new
era for the good Of mankind. A bravo
and Independent press, that cannot bo
throttled by unscrupulous men and cor
porations, shows that there is sufficient
virtue left in the hearts of the American
and plunder which has been steadily
glowing for the last few years. Let the
principles Of honesty and integrity, in
and out of office; that the few shall sub
init to the many; that pride and aristoc-
racy, whether of blood or property,
must be ruled by the honest multitude,
and the rights of the laboring man re-
spected; be emblazoned in letters OF
gold on our banners, and made the
watchword of the Democratic party, SO
that merit alone will prevail. 1t will be
Il sad day for the history of this Repuh-
lie when the schening and machina-
tions of the monarchial Hrmilton are to
be respected and followed, instead of
the sublime truths of liberty and equal
ity taught by the great jefferson. All
corruption should be Stunned as the
Ieprosy, and the masses alone must rule-
