hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and
badness often, though not always, cured
by It's use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or the
glands atrophied and decayed; but such as
remain can be saved by this application,
and stimulated into activity, SO that new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead OF foul
ing the hair with pasty sediment, 1t will
keep 1t clean and vigorous. It's occasional
use will prevent the hair from turning gray
or falling OF, and consequently prevent
badness. The restoration Of vitality 1t gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is so often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make some
preparations dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not
harm 1t. II wanted merely for HAIR
DRESSING, nothing else can be found 20
desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye,
1t does not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving 1t rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

The Grand Central UnfpI.

The Grand Central Hotel, on Broadway.
New York, has of late become a familiar
name with most of our people. In view Of
this publicity few facts concerning it
will not be amiss. 1t occupies both the site
of the old Lafarge House and the former
southern Hotel, opposite Bond street-fa-
yorite hotels in their days with Southern
tire block through to Mercer street, its
massive front of marble encompassing. be-
sides, the former sites of several other
large houses. 1t cost nearly two millions OF
dollars, and is said to be the finest hotel in
the world. 1t is certainly one CT the grand
est structures that adorn the city-and New
York boasts pre-eminentiy OF its hotels. 1t
was a costly experiment to raise this huge
pile of marble, with its palace appoint
ments, but its central location. combined
with other advantages, caused its entire
success from the start, not less than thou
sand guests frequently enjoying its hospi
tality at one time. 1t ia undoubtedly the
largest and finest hotel with the least prices.
charging from dollar to two dollars per
day less than others; being the only hotel in
New York that has adopted this plan of re-
ducton. Mr.. II. Lyman Powers, the pro-
prietor deserves-as he viii receive-much
credit for this last important change in
hotel management. The Grand Central is
a favorite hotel with fore; gners, who regard
it, perhaps, as one Of the wonders of the
new world

Gone Home,

A good man was taken from among us
when George H. Clarke closed his weary
eyes in death on Sunday last. A kinder
heart or truer soul never filed mortal
frame, and, added to his ever genial tenn
per, made him the one among all his fellows
to be sought after, respected and loved.
But 6 Gorge has been lingering on the verge
of the grave for many months, consump-
ton, the fell destroyer, having long since
marked him for his own. He died at the
age of thirty-seven years, and left mourning
friends whose numbers would make an
army. If true principle and manly qualities
go for aught, George II. Clarke has found
rest and happiness for eternity

THE CITY HALL.

The Council yesterday lef. little outside
business of interest to be attended to.
Nevertheless. the bills made by the Mayor
and the Administration of Assessments in
behalf of the Duke are subjects of good
deal of .jocular conversation. The Council
declined to take any action on them until
next meeting. This was however only done
in jest, no doubt. and ample provision will
eventually be made for their payment.
The Administrator Of Improvements is
pushing forward as rapidly as possible
necessary work on the canals. The drain
ing canal, running parallel with the new
canal, will enable us very soon to close the
drain on Canal street and remove from that
splendid thoroughfare the incubus so long
an eye-sore to tie residents along it.
1t IS estimated that the expenses attend
ing the Grand Dukes reception in this city,
will he about $4,000. There certainly can
be no objection to this.

actually approved BY this board, and local
inspectors are cautioned to obtain from the
supervising inspectors the distinctive fea-

upon by this board, SO that they may dis

tested in order to satisfy them as to their
quality and strength.

THE STATE HOUSE.

! The Senate and House of Representatives
were visited, while in session yesterday, by
several parties of ladies and gentlemen,
who were evidently strangers in our city.
| They were invited to seats, and seemed to
| enjoy the lively scenes the Louisiana Legis-
| lature presents when in active operation.
In the Senate substitute for Senate bills
Nos. 275 and 276, relative to public printing,
providing for the election Of State Printer,
fixing his compensation, and providing for
State, judicial, parrchial and municipal
printing, came up as the special order of
the day, and was postponed until evening.
The Senate adjourned about four o'clock, to
meet again at half-past seven in the evening.
The House, from some cause not visible to
the uninitiated, did not proceed to business
with the same alacrity that it did the day
before. There was hitch somewhere, and
it resulted in very little being done. 1t is
true it was resolution day-Tuesdays and
Saturdays being set aside by rule for this
kind of worb-and that may have had
something TO do with the general disposi-
ton of the House to avoid all other
business.
After the adoption of the journal, the
reading of the resolutions commenced. Mr..
Demas presented a resolution instructing
the Speaker and Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House to have J. o. Noyes, president of
the Bureau of immigration, brought before
the bar of the House. to answer
contempt in not having responded to
call from the Committee of Immi-
grafton for report i'll regard
to the affairs of his office. The resolution
created some discussion in regard to the
propriety of repeating the law establishing
a Bureau of immigration. There was much
difference of opinion upon this subject. Mr..
Peter Harper and DR.. Worrall were opposed
to repeating the law, and thought it would
not be right to censure Mr. Noyes before
ascertaining that he had been wilfully
neglectfnl Of duty. The adoption of the
resolution was then called for, and it passed
the House by vote of forty seven yeas to
thirty-f four nays.
Several other resolutions were read and
tabled, and good deal of time was wasted
in calling the yeas and nays on repeated
motions to adjourn. But finally, after
good deal OF noise and confusion the House
agreed. at four o'clock in the afternoon, to
adjourn until halfpast six o'clock in the
evening, when it was understood the State
House bill would be further discussed.
The House met last evening at half-past
seven O'Clock, and adjourned until twelve
o'clock to-day without doing any further
business.
The Senate remained in session until
twelve o'clock considering the printing bill.
Ten sections of the bill were adopted,
and the eleventh-which establishes
Printing Commission-was read and Senator
Lynch moved to have it striken out. This
motion caused considerable discussion, in
which Messrs. Lynch, Barber, Campbell,
Blackman and O'Hara participated. The
Senate adjourned about ten o'clock until
twelve o'clock to-day, without proceeding
further with the Printing bill.

Cost of LEGISLATION.
Tie Boston Herald saws

lie DOStOn HeiUM says:
Mr.. Potter, of the State Senate, has taken
the trouble to collect some interesting
statistics about the cost of legislation, length
OF sessions, etc, in the several States, from
which it appears that the annual cost of
legislation in Massachusetts is much larger
than in any other tate of the Union. For
instance, the cost Of legislation is given at
$256,000 for Massachusetts, $4,000 for New
York, sl33,000 for Pennsylvania, 100000
for Ohio, s25,0O0 for Illinois, $64,OOO for
California, $50, 900 for Maine, $4,000 for
New Hampshire, 900 for Vermont, and
SO on. Thus legislation in Massachusetts
costs more than in New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois; it costs more than all the rest
OF New England, New York and New Jer-
sey. In regard to the length of sessions
the Massachusetts Legislature finds 10
days necessary against Pennsyl-
vania and California l2o days, and
New York and Ohio 100 days. No
other session reached 100 days. The
Massachusetts Legislature is larger than
any other given except that of New Hamp-
shire, which has $50 members in both
branches, against 2SS in Massachusetts, the
latter including the Governors Council
We know that the complicated interests of
our State give rise to much legislation, but
there is no reasonable excuse for cost of
legislation so much out of proportion to
other States where interests are as varied
and important. Our Legislature has for
years frittered away large part of its
time on stupid forms and repeated discus
sfons Of impracticable questions like the
liquor law, the State police, ETC. Nor does
our legislation show any superior value to
justify its dlsproportionate cost A great
many laws and resolves are made every
year, but they too frequently attempt to
make new crimes and to give rise to expen-
slve litigation among the people. We must
conclude that cur legislative sessions are
twice as long as they need to be, and that
the cost Of legislation in the State is at
least three times as large as it should be.
Here is chance for reform near home, and
we wish the people would keep their eyes
on the State House and see what is done
about it.

connie of ph;ladelnbia gen.leuan

A couple of Philadelphia gentlemen,
Messrs. A. j. Drexei and George W. ChiIds,
have astonished the people of New York by
making a purchase of real estate in their
business quarter at an enormous price. A
lot on the corner of Broad and Wall streets,
1j.by 40 feet, was bought for S250000 in
gold. Adjoining property was obtained at
lower rate, but the whole purchase money
amounted to about 81 100000, for which the
cash was paid, The rate at which the cor
ner lot was bought is about $20,0O0.000 an
acre. In New York it is regarded as some
what of an affront that Philadelphians, and
not New Workers, should be the men to
make this bold venture. The great bank
ing house of Drexel & Co., that is to rise
upon the newly-purchased site, is to be a
. monument of Philadelphia enterprise,
which fairly throws New York enterprise
into the shade, in this case at least.
