MOUNT ZION A. M E. CHURcH.-An earnest
appeal is hereby made in favor of the above
named church. located on Mountford street, in
the city of Portland
By hard work this society(now in its infancy
have secured fine lot of land and erected
convenient church edifice, located as above, up
on which they now owe about seventeen humid
red ($1700) dollars. While this sum is compar-
atively small, it is large for the members of
this parish, as their numbers are small and
their means limited.
They have perfect title to the property and
only need the above named sum to free it from
debt. This done they will be able in the future
as they have done in the past, to maintain
preaching all the time, with open doors and
free seats 10 all who choose to worship with
them.
We, therefore, ask all christians and all who
favor a full and free salvation on free plan, to
aid this struggling people to save their place of
worship
In behalf of the New England Conference.
j. p. SHREEvEs,
Presiding Elder of the LIST Episcopal District.
Any one having legal claims against the
church will please present them to the proper
authorities. We do not wish to have it said
(as it has been reported) that We are trying to
repudiate such claims on the church.

WASHINGTON, March 2.--Mr Ferry present
ed memorials of lumber companies in the north
west, setting forth reasons why the Chicago re-
lief bill should not pass.
Messrs. Window ano Ferry presented memo
rails for modification of the Homsead laws
Mr.. Casserly presented a petition of the lead
ing bankers and merchants of San Francisco
for the reform of the civil service.
Mr.. Pratt called up the bill to release to In
diana the land known as the bed of Bear Lake
in Newton county, Indiana, and addressed the
Senate upon it at length.
Mr.. Bayard moved to take up the resolution
asking for copies of instructions given to the
District Attorney of New York relative to the
prosecution of merchants
Mr.. Conkling said that instructions were fully
published in the newspapers and there was there
thought it would be better to wait until others
could express their views of the resolution of
Mr.. Bayard motives in offering it.
Mr.. Bayard replied that if he based his speech
ON mere newspaper items, Mr.. Csnkling would
be the first to call him to order. AS to his mo-
tives Mr.. Conkling had no means of ascertain
ing them except from his public remarks yester-
day. Besides judging from Mr.. Conkling's ac-
ton in reference to the organization of the Re-
trenchment Committee and the Investigations,
he feared the Senator from New York could
hardly understand this (Bayards) motives. He
did intend to comment on the conduct of the
officer who had given the instructions, but wish
ed to base his comments on authentic informa-
ton, and he had asked for it in the usual and
only proper way. I

the value of the furniture. Her lsase expires

RICHMOND, March ga special dispatch says
that the Governor has vetoed the bill making
gold and silver coin United States notes and
notes of National Banks only receivable for
taxes. The House, by 6S to p, promptly pass
ed an act over the Veto, and the Senate lad the
Governors message ON the table, wher it will
probably remain till the close of the session.
The Governor argues that the legislature has
not thu power to repeal the, provision of the
funding act of March, 1871, so as to affect cou-
pons already issued. 1t is compromise with
the creditors of the State, and as evidence of
their good faith the State agreed that the inter
est on new bonds represented by coupons should
be receivable for taxes at and after maturity.
The acceptance of the proposition of the State
completed contract. 1t is believed that the
only hope of the settlement of the debt ques-
ton now is that both Houses may agree on the
pending proposition to pay per cent. interest,
in which event the Senate will sustain the re-
peal of the coupon feature of the funding bill.

VITALIZE THE HAIR.-Why does the hair be-
come harsh and dry-why does it fall out-why
does it become gray? Simply because the life
has gone out of it. The fibers draw susie
nance from the scalp as the grass draws ali
ment from the soil, and when the supply of nu-
triment is cut off in either case the product
withers and dies, At the first symptom of de-
cay, therefore, the unfed and half-fed roots of
the hair should be refreshed and reinforced
with LYONS KATHAIRoN, the only preparation
which will nourish the filaments and keep
them in a vigorous condition after they have
begun to suffer from deficiency of their nat
ural stimulant. As long as the Katharion is
faithfully used, with proper degree of friction
morning and evening, so long will it be impos-
sible for the hair to whiten or fall out from the
scalp. ..s - mar4-eod1w&w1t
