Hair V5gor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness OF youth. INN
hair is thickened, fallen 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 stlmu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty scdi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its 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 dandruff, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and lnju-
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 a grateful perfume.

London, IL. In the House of Common,
to-day. Mr.. Gladstone made statement o
the present condition of the Alabama nego
tiations. The main point was that pro
posal had been made to the [ nited States fol
postponement of the meeting of the boarC
OF arbitration at Geneva for eight months
his information had already been anticipate
ed by late cable dispatches to the Englisl
press from America, which state that the late
letter OF Earl Granville making the PROPOSE
ton had been published there in full
Mr.. Osborne asked whether the despatch
purporting to be from Earl Granville propos-
ing an adjournment of the Geneva tribunal,
was genuine. He considered it humilating
and undignitied.
Mr. Gladstone replied that the despatch
was genuine, and he defended the proposition
It contained as honorable to both countries.
Disraeli strongly opposed leaving the
question open for eight months, particularly
while Il heated Presidential contest was in
progress in the I nit.d States. This country
had been kept too long in the dark. He be-
lieved that the policy of the government
would end in disaster and disgrace.
Messrs. Gordon and Bentrich, Lord Var
mouth and others severely criticised the gov
eminent, expressing want Of confidence in its
future proceedings.
Mr.. Gladstone defended the action Of the
government at great length, and closed with
the declaration that it would be a crime tc
deyiatc hairs breadth from the original pc.
>itiJ1.
In the House OF Lords Earl Granville made
his statement. lie said that on Saturday
last it became clear that the British anl
American governments would fail for the
want OF time to come to an agreement with
regard to the supplemental article. The diff.
Guilty between them related solely to the
bearings its conditions were to have in the
future. The Americans considered the Eng
lish objections hypercritcal. He had con-
>ented TO the idea of an adjournment Of the
Geneva board to give time tor the removal OF
the difficulties.
Lord Carius expressed astoniShmont, but
the House was accustomed to surprises on
this subject. lie supposed an eight months
adjournment was made in the hope OF some
thing turning up and helping the govern
ment out of the predicament.
Granville said he must hesitate to accept
Lord Carius' criticism because of the mac.
curacy OF his speech.
The Earl OF Derby asked, why did England
propos an adjournment for the arbitration
and why for so long a time?
Granville said that the Adjournment wa:
made to the date when Parliament and Con
gress would both be in session. lie did no
see anything alarming.

The London Press on the Inter

follows on the international boat race yestcr-

The Times says: The simple fact is that
the Americans have not yet learned, or they
have lost the true style Of rowing They
neglect the cardinal principles of effective
rowing. The wonder is that they were able
to make as gallant an effort with such meth
DDS. We hope the Americans will learn how

severe tests.
The Post says that the result Of the race
shows that we have nothing to learn from the
Americans. The latter were inferior in
physique and style; they had everything
their own way the choice of water was given
them; delays were conceded and absence of
coxswans agreed to; and although they row
I'd two strokes a minute more than the Lon
doners, they were easily ou,stripped. The
result conynees us that the English style is
the best now practiced. 1t fears that the
American press will exaggerate the import
ance of the unfortunate foul which the At
lantas had toward the close OF the race.
