Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
Or FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

WASHINGTON, December Is. 49, The
United States and Spanish Commission to
adjust claims of American citizens on &C.
count of damages sustained in Cuba during
the present rebellion, have not yet made
any awards. About one hundred claims
have been filed. There has been difficulty
about taking testimony in the island, but
as remedy it is proposed by our govern
ment to unite with Spain in appointing q
joint commission for that purpose.
Robert M. and Stephen A. Douglas, sons
of the late Senator Douglas, have prepared
and will present to Congress on Monday a
claim for two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for their private cotton and other
property taken, used and appropriated in
March, 1868, in Mississippi, BY portion Of
the army Of the United States.
An application for the extension of the
A. B. Wilson patent for feeding device
as applicable to sewing machines, is still
before the Senate Committee on Patents,
with little if any prospect of its being re-
ported this session. This patent will not
however, as represented, affect the price of
sewing machines.
A subcommittee of the committee on
appropriations has been examining into The
affairs OF Department Of the Interior, with a
view to its reorganization.
The superintendent of recruiting for the
marine corps has discontinued the extra
offices in Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, and ordered the officers in command
to their sta ions.
Vice-President Coliax returned from
New York this morning. He says in
answer to numerous inquiries that his visit
was more to relatives and friends than on
business, and that he can only repeat in
regard to tho Tribune newspaper ed itor-
ship what he has so often said, that it re-
mains subject of conversation, but that
nothing has been decided as yet on either
side.

evening state guarnaI

THE act passed by the General Assem-
bly on Saturday, prohibiting collectors,
deputy collectors, and other officers charged
with the collection Of the public reve-
nues, from converting any monies collected
by them into coupons, issued under the
funding bill of 1871, is an excellent
one, though we fear it will be good
deal like locking tho stable-door after
the thief has successfully made way with
the horse. There seems to be but one
course left for the General Assembly to
take in order to extricate the State rom Its
present financial dilemma. It is idle to
talk about paying nearly two millions a
year in interest, when that sum is all that
can be realized in taxation under the new
assessment law of the State. If our cred
itors have not walked up to the truth OF
this statement, and are not viii
ling to meet our people upon a
more equitable basis of settlement
than that which was corruptly loboied
through the Legislature in 1871, they should
be given distinctly to understand that the
honor of the State forbids as much an act
of bribery as failure to meet financial
obligations. There must be new deal or
the Wall-street shysters, who came here
to purchase legislation two years ago and
openly boosted of their success, will
become a good deal more brazen before
they get their money.
