THE OLDEST OBSERVATORY.

Greenwich Observatory was founded
by Charles the Second, in 1875. The cele
DRAFTED John Flamsteed was appointed
the first astronomical observer" and his
duties were defined to be ''to apply him
self with the most exact care and dill
gencc to the rectification of the motions
or the heavens, and the places Of the fix
ed stars, SO as to find out the so much de-
sired longitude of places, for the perfec-
ton OF the art of navigation" He ap-
pears to have been an excellent executive
officer, as we'll as a careful observer. He
systematlzed the internal arrangements of
the observatory, besides making cata-
Iogue OF nearly three thousand stars His
successors have all In their turn contrib
uted something to the perfection of astro-
nomlcal knowledge, until the record of
Greenwich Observatory, in all that per-
tains to the purpose for which 1t was
more especially founded, is the record of
the art of navigation, and all that has
been accomplished In it's behalf, and for
It's aid and assistance, since 1878. All
the instruments now in use in astronomi-
Cal observation, and in the division of
time, have been brought nearly to per-
fiction, and Greenwich Observatory is
the most completely equipped in the
world. That we reckon the longitude on
American maps in the meridian of Green
wich and Washington is we'll known.
This observatory was the first to introduce
galvanic signals for the transmission Of
time, and Greenwich time" is marked
every day at one o'clock, by the dropping
of a black ball, six feet in diameter, fro m
a turret placed on the eastern wing of
the building, The time is transmitted in
the same instant to the Office Of the tele-
graph company, in London.

The following from the Nation, is emf
nently true and deserving of careful at
tention:
ClVil-service resOrm is hardly mention
ed in the Greeley canvaes-a significant
fact, to which the Cincinnati C0merciaZ,
which supports him, has at last drawn at
tentit n. The reason is that the sole con-
tribution which Greeley means to make,
or can make, to civIl-service reform, is
1t to be candidate for reelection. In
other words he contrlbu es to it "the one
term principle" But that during Ahis
one term he will have to make room in
Ii branches Of the civil service for the
largest horde of hungry applicants, with
out other qualification than their support
of him, by which any President was ever
assalled, we all know. The melancholy
feature OF the situation is that many of
his prominent supporters, who really are
rcfOrmers at heart, know it as we'll as ANY,
body. His appointments, too, will be
made under the dictation of probably the
worst set Of politicians in the United States,
who will laugh at the very mention of
such steps towards change for the bet
er as Grant has made, and he himself
will be plunged into whirlpool of In
'rigue, greed, selfshness and ambition,
with pre- badly less perspicacity and less
skill in dealing with men than any Presi-
dent who has gone before him. In short,
here is hardly one of his intelligent sup
porters, who care for reform, who is not
supporting him On grounds which would
seem to him ridiculous n any other branch
Of affairs. If any of them, we venture to
assert, were asked to trust law. er, a
doctor broker, arbitrator ent or other
empIoye, on the grounds on which Gree
ley is recommended TOR the Presidency,
they would laugh heartily.

Hair VS;!gor,
For restoring to Gray Hair it's
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness Of youtA. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by it's 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 a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often SO I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
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.

CHARCOAL FOR SICK CATTLE.-Nearly
all animals become sick from improper
eating. In nine cases out of ten the di-
gestion is wrong. Charcoal is the most
ficient and rapid corrective. 1t will
cure majority of cases, if properly ad-
ministered. An example of it's use-the
hired man came in with the intelligence
that one of the COWS was very sick, and a
kind neighbor proposed the usual drugs
and poisons. The owner being i'll, and
unable to examine the cow, concluded
that the trouble came from some over
eating,and ordered teacup of pulverlzed
charcoal given in water. II was mixed
placed in junk bottle, the head held
upward, and the water, with its charcoal,
poured downward. In five minutes an i'm
proVement was visible, and in few hours
the animal was in the pasture, quietly
eating grass. Another instance of equal
success occurred with young heifer which
became badly bloated by eating green APP
plies. The bloat was so severe that the
sides were almost as hard as a barrel
The cid remedy, saleratus, was tried fer
the purpose of correcting the acidity
but the attempt to put it down always
caused coughing, and it aid little good.
Half teacupful of powdered charcoal
was next given. n six hours all appear
ance of bloat lad gone, and the heifer
was WE'LL Country GentZenaan.
