CRYSTAL DISCOVERY

NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
IN is the only article entirely harmless which
restores gray hair to its natural color and youth
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
contains no poisonous substances, no sugar-ot
lead sulphur or nitrate of silver.
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
restores gray hair in from three to ten days in
every instance. We warrant it.
NATTANS CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
supplies the hair with new vitality, and hence
stops its falling out.
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
is perfectly Clearly it does not soil the finger
nails, the finest fabric or anything else Jewelry,
which has been backened by the various sui.
phur preparations, it not only does not dirty,
but if applied will beautifully cleanse. Try it.
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
makes dry and brash hair moist and glossy
without, however, making it sticky, other
dirty articles of this kind do. Pomades and
oils may be used, if desired, with this prepara-
ton, without mpairing its usefulness.
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
restores hair to its natural color in a few days.
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
has, in a number Of instances produced Il new
growth Of hair; though it is not claimed that il
Will be successful in every case.
NATTANS' CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
is put up in large bottles, containing over half as
much more as any other in the market while its
effects are more prompt and positive; therefore,
it is certainly the most economical article in use.
In short, there are thousand reasons why you
should use it in preference to any other-reasons
which have induced the masses who use hair re-
storers to use it-and chief among which is the
perfect safety with which you can apply it. Try
it, if you have not done 50 already, and though
you may have used something before, or for
years even, yet We can assure you that after CIV
my CRYSTAL DISCOVERY trial, you will
gladly discard your previous favorite. Ii your
druggist has got it, take other for this is the
only preparation you can with safety, and
which will perform its functions promptly. Ask
him to get it for you. Price one dollar

THE AMERICAN PROGRAMME.
No Concessions to the 'sBlarsted Britt
fshers"-The Government will stand
upon the Case and let the Arbftrators
Decide the Whole Question.
WASHINGTON. February Z.


The position taken by gentlemen closely
connected with the administration of the
government Is that the British high commits
sioners perfectly understood the views Of the
American commissioners In the negotiation OF
the Treaty of Washington. both from lts terms
and the assertions In the protocol; and tnat,
therefore, our government Is altogether )ustl.
fed In presenting the case as 1t Is, claiming
consequential damages. In case the BOARD OF
arbitrators shall not award gross sum In sat
isfaction of the so-called Alabama claims, the
government is willing to stand by the de-
cIson of the arbltrators. 1t is known that,
though the British commissioners had
full powers, they frequently consulted
the home government, and acted 10 accord
snce with Its wishes In all they did. 1t Is
officially asserted that, If the claim for conse-
uuential damages had not been presented, and
was not to be passed before them, there
might be complaint by the people OF the
United States that provision was made for
partial settlement only Of the differences be-
tween the two countries. Such a claim was,
therefore, presented for full settlement IN
the interests of peace, and to preclude further
disputes. The government has not yet re-
ceived the text OF tbe letter from Lord Gran
Vile to the general government, and. there
fore, cannot take official action upon 1t. There
Is no probability whatever that our govern
ment will withdraw any part OF Its statement
of the case; but will leave the British Govern.
ment to pursue Its own course, or the lrlou-
nal Of arbitration to act In the premises &C.
cording to the treaty stipulations. NOT 1s IL
likely That our counsel will take any action In
order to accommodate the British Govern
ment.

Sostetter's 6 Bitters.

@ GUARD YOUR HEALTH AND
LIFE.-How inconsistent is human nature, Men
carry revolvers to protect themselves against ruf
fans in W. l.polshed cities, where the precaution
is unnecessary, often neglect to forfy their sys-
TENS against disease In the most unhealthy sea-
sons. Thousands OF dyspepGcs and other iavalids
are now langulshing In sick rooms, or feebly and
listlesaly moving through our streets, who owe
their forlorn condition solely to want OF COM
mon prudence. Far more inimical than theroushs
and rowdies against whose: possible attacks the
timid arm themselves, are the morbid elements
that pervsde the atmosphere at this time Of the
year, and yet, although It is an undenled ana un.
deniable fact that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT.
TERs AFFORD q more perfect protection against
these causes OF disease than any weapon OF offence
can afford against lawless violence, the reckless
and inconsiderate continue to brave the danger
with positive safeguard within their reach.
Every day, however, the number Of these mar.
tyrs to their own want Of forecast diminishes.
Each succeeding season demonstrates more clear
y the iRestimable value Of the Bitters both as an
antidoto for the causes OF disease and specific
for its consequences. The miasma which gene.
rates periodic disorders, rhunatlsm, uves COM
plsint Irregularity OF the bowels and other phya.

SMUGGLING IN HIGH QUARTERs.-We learn
from good authority that the steamer Liberty,
which arrived at this port on Tuesday after
noon last, had on board some six packages of
cigars which did not appear upon her mani
fest, but which, it Is said, were shipped under
consular certificate and seal at Havana. One
of these packages was addressed to bis Excel
lency U. S. Grant; another 10 Mr. Robson,
Secretary of the Navy; another to Mr.. Fish,
Secretary of State, and the others 10 different
members of General Grants cabinet-in
all about six thousand cigars. Had these
cigars been addressed 10 any other six citi-
zens of the United States, the customhouse
officers of this place would have pounced upon
them, and probably mulcled the captain Of the
steamer In a heavy fine, or have sought the
conhscation of the vessel. We regret TO say
that the exalted official positions OF the recipl
ents of these cigars 80 overshadoWed the laws
Of the land that they were suffered to go on
their way TO Baltimore. We trust that the
custom officers at that port will exhibit little
more backbone In the matter, and compel Mr.
o. s. Grant and his confreres to duly enter the
cigars and paw the statutory duties thereon.

TIE NEW YORK RING MUDDLE.-Advlces
from New York state that six Indictments
have been found against William N. Tweed,
and that others nave been found against
Davidson, Genet, Hugh Smith, ana Peter B.
and James NJ. Sweeney. Bench warrants were
Issued by Judge Barrett In the cases In which
the indictments were found, but there were
no arrests, as 1t Is stated the sheriff preferred
to wait until Monday, on the ground, 1t is
alleged. that it would be cruelty to drag out
from their families on such an evening men
who could readily give bail If they had an op-
portuuity. Many OF the indicted are already
out of tue city. A New York afternoon paper
says that l'lt is asserted in public places that
ten or twelve Of the ani.rlng grand jurors have
been brlbed to prevent the Indictment of Ger.
tain parties; that one individual who expected
to escape paid out large amounts, and was
indicted. He, 1t Is; said, is indignant, and
threatens 10 make astounding revelations. 1t
is also stated that most of The grand jurors are
lobbied with and dined and wined every night
by parties who are trying to prevent certain
individuals from being Indicted" The stories
about The prosecutions against the "Rlng" In
New York are so contradictory that no clear
understanding can be had ofanything connect
ed with them. The whole affair seems to be a
perfect muddle.

LONDON, February I

LONDON, FeDruary Z.
The Lord Chancellor read the Queens
speech. Mr. Gladstone, in replying to a de.
mandatory speech from Dlsraeli regarding the
Washington treaty, said he could, If he desir-
ed, refer to the preposterous character of the
American demands, which, Of itself, proved
their absurdlty; for they were such as no peo-
pie, in the last extremity of war or in the low
est depth of national misfortune, with the
spirit of England in their hearts, would ever
submit to. CCheersl Mr.. Gladstone concluded
by saying that the government would main
tain the position it had taken-frmly, though
in friendly manner.
