The State of Illinois has just placed the
sexes on an equality of rights, so far as occu-
patton is concerned. The language of the
statute recently signed by Governor Palmer
provides that "no person shall be precluded
or debarred from any occupation, profession
or employment Except military on account
of SEX" 1t is stipulated, however, that the
act shall not be construed to affect the elig-
bility of any person to an elective office.
Another important provso is also inserted,
as follows: Nothing in this act shall be
construed as requiring any female to work
on streets or roads, or serve on juries." They
can do it, of course, if they wish to, because
they are not to be debarred from any employ
ment, except military. The latter province
they will probably never wish to invade.

A GERMAN ORGAN on SENATOR
CEHY1RZ

Xhe Syracuse Union is a spirited and re-
liable German republican paper. The follow
ing is translation of portion of one of its
editorials on the Liberal republicans and SEN
ator Schurz:
1.-THE Liberal republicans appear to have
earnestly taken up the cndgel for the over
throw of the regular republican party. And
yet this new party has but few leaders and
but few followers; they have no record of
past deeds to rely upon, unless it may be in
Missouri, where they have helped the de-
mocracy to become masters of the situation,
and elected to the United States Senate one
F. T. Blair, an insolent and unprincipled rem
egade democrat. There is truly no worthy
record about this! The creed and programme
of the new party promises political millen-
mum, since if the power is given into their
hands no bad man and no ring shall control
offices: and last-or better yet-no taxation
at all shall be imposed; they promise truly
that the negro shall be free, yet they oppose
the KuKlux laws which were enacted for the
very purpose of protecting the life and free.
dom of the colored people. 1t appears that
all that the Liberal republicans have done or
propose to do, results merely in playing into
the hands of the democracy. They are SIM

can organization after the Cincinnati conven-
tion-which we believe and expect will be the
case, judging from the spirit he has mani
fested-will as an opponent of the republican
party naturally fall into the ranks of the de-
mocrscy and support the democratic ticket in
the Presidential election. And yet Schurz in
all his recent speeches has denounced the
democratic party as party of incorrigble
Bourbonism.
Does Mr.. Schurz believe that we Germans
will follow him, and append ourselves to the
tail of the democratic kite? that we will give
up our principles and progressive ideas, to
become the tools of the reactionary demo-
cratic party, and mere political Jesuits? We
Germans are not such admirers of great men

spect and blindly follow INSCRIPTIONS men,
whose aim is not to advance the interests of

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 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-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterous 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, it does
not soil white cambria, and. yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
