ever dreamed of electing Horace Gree.
ley President Of the United States tc
say nothing Of the strength or weakness
OF the Liberal movement in the public
MUD. "Hsd not millions been expend-
ed to arrest its progress in the State
elections Of the last three months, il
might even have swept the country,
though all the money raised in its be-
half would at best have been pence
balancing pounds" now mark, here Is q
formidable movement, this "Liberal
moveDent,' formidable movement with
prospect Of success this Liberal move
ment,' so formidable as to sweep the
country, though, it is true, its working
cash capital was as "peuce balancing
pounds" compared with the working
cash capital Of the Republican party,
yet lew millions spent in hiring Dem
ocrats aud Liberals" to either vote for
Grant or not vote at all, swept it from
the field Of politics to be known here
alter as thing Of the past only; for it
must be borne in mind that Mr.. Gree
ley makes the charge that "Demoerats
have We'd with the Liberal Republicans
in contributing to it, "(this rcsalt of
Tuesday 9th inst)" some Of them by
voting directly for Grant electors; many
more by neglocting to vote at all. What
formidable movement, xhat hold
upon the public mind its principles must
have had, to let few paltry millions so
utterly demolish it. 1t must be CON-
iortiug to Democrats who did not vote
for Greeley to be informed that they
"coabtn eat crow" when they could
get So to $40 each for not eatjpgsit."
To say the least and best that can be
said Of Mr.. Greeley's leader in the T4J-
une Of the 6th, it is the outgushing of
hear insousble to gratitude but as he
now proposes to make his wisdom and
prudence the better part Of valor, and
never again be candidate for Office, he
perhaps concluded that an indulgence
OF this kind, might not perhaps be out
of the way.
In another article Of some considera-
BILE length in the same issue of the
TrtJuue, Nov. 9th, Mr. Greeley at
tempts the old folly, of making the
world' believe that the Tribune was not
party "orgdn" but ''aews poper,'
simply advocating him, its founder and
for 32 years its editor, after no was
nominated for the presidency, a no miua-
ton in which he, Greeley had no agency
no solicitations; but chatting still over
his defeat he consoles himself that the
incorporated wealth of the nation was
brought to bear adversely upon him,
and therefore his sore discontinue. Mr..
Greeley may thank his vanity, his
vascilating course as public man. his
thorough unsouu1ness in every principle
Of good government, for his defeat on
the 9th inst, and not the millions of
money by him alleged to have been ex-
pended to secure that end.

How the Mules Were Got Into the Nine.

The three mules employed in the l.
100 foot level of the Belcher Mine,
since September, 1871, are to be hoisted
out. They were needed at that time to
haul cars loaded with ore up an iucline
to the Yellow Jacket hoisting works.
A new iucline has been completed, and
ore will no longer be hauled up the old
one. These mules, before being taken
down the shaft, were thrown down and
tied, bound up in sacks and sent down
endways. They will have to undergo
similar treatment in being hoisted out.
1t is not expected that they will be
brought up under week or ten days,
as, in case of accident, their services
may be required. Singular as it may
seem, these mules are as fat and sleek
as any in the country Their stable is
at the junction OF the Grown Point and
Yellow jacket, where a free current ol
good air is always blowing When they
are raised. they will require to be blind,
ed for about week, in order that THEN
eyes may get used to the light of day

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
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that o 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-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly 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 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
fustre, and grateful perfume.

service reform by keeping in and appointing
to Office the best men, irrespective of political
opinions. It is gratifying to SEQ by our Wash

taking such stand, and has, consequently,
created CONSERVATION among the Pennsylvania
politicians by his frmness in the matter of the
Philadelphia Post Office. If he will stick to
this policy he will be sustained by the people
