gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling 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 stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray 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 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 a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.

A vote was taken in both branches of
the General Assembly on Tuesday for Unit
ed States Senator, but there was no
election. Fifty-four votes are necessary to
4 choice. George Vickers, of Kent, the
present incumbent, received % votes;
Daniel NJ. Henry, of Dorchester, received
Is votes; George r. Dennis. of Somerset,
received IA votes; James T. Earle, OF Queen
Anne's. received 10 votes. These were the
highest candidates. The Republican dele
gatien cast complimentary vote for Mr..
Tome. OF Cecil, late Republican candidate
for Governor. The resolutions for the
appointment of committee to divide the
State into six Congressional Districes, and
for committee to secure the survey OF a
ship canal between the Chesapeake and
Delaware bays. have passed both houses.
The House of Delegates have adopted a
resolution directing an inquiry into the
ACCESSIBILITY of employing convict labor on
the roads and highways.
The State Board of Education have hadan
audience before the Legislature Committee
at Annapolis. with a view of urging the
passage of laws to increase the school tax
to fifteen cents on the 800, to vest the
appointment of teachers in the Boards OF
County School Commissioners and to
make more extensive provision for the edu-
cation of the colored people of Maryland.

The Grand Lodge of Good Templars.

To all Friends Of tie Temperance Reform
ertends Greeting Whereas, it has been
demonstrated, after long years Of trial,
that all attempts at checking the spread of
the vice of Intemperance by licensing the
sale of intoxicating drinks to be used as a
beverage, have proved abortive, as is shown
by the steady increase of drunkenness
under such laws; and. whereas, every
license granted makes the State partner
in the business, so far as giving its official
sanction can do it;
And whereas, the license law as at pres
ent in force, takes away entirely from the
people most directly concerned. all juris-
diction in the matter, and imposes upon
many large Incorporated bodies business
that the majority of property holders and
tax payers therein oppose;
And whereas, it is self-evident fact
that every community should have the
unobstructed right to prohibit every en-
terprise of private character that is dan
gerous to the public welfare;
We the members of the Grand Lodge of
Good Templars have deemed it necessary
to petition the approaching session of our
State Legislature for a law giving to the
qualified voters of every ward or District
the right to decide by ballot whether
liquors shall or shall not be sold within
said limits. And whereas, we are small
band and widely scattered, we feel con-
strained to appeal to all kindred Temper
ance Societies, to all Religious Denomina-
tions and to all christians who have the
good of humanity at heart, to unite with
us at this time in one united appeal to
those in authority, for this simple and truly
democratic measure, and thus allow the
matter to come directly before the people,
in whose hands it properly belongs.
All persons willing to aid in this import
ant work are invited to procure copies of
the said petition, have them signed in
duplicate form, one to be presented to the
House and the other to the Senate. Blanks
can be had from any Lodge Of our Order.

Southern Journals.

We sometimes almost despair of any
speedy upbuilding of the South when we
read the journals which minister to its
people. One may quite nearly judge OF
the real condition of any given community
by the character and ability or lack of these
of the majority of the journals which rec
ord and aid in moulding the public thought:
and Judging by this standard, what in the
name of sense shall be thought of the posi-
ton of the South
This thought is often obtruded upon us
in reading this and that Southern narrow
and provincial sheet, whose main purpose
seems to he to butt its little head against
the sturdiest ramparts of the age, and to
intensity the already intense clannishness
of large portion of the people of the
Southern States.
One of the greatest Of all the evils which
have so long afflicted the South lies in the
fact that there has been little real discus
sion, little of that thorough criticism which
cleaves right through from the head to the
very foot of any question efpublic moment.
The supposed necessities of slavery closed
the mouths of those who had the ability
and the heart to criticise any question hing
ing upon that "peculiar institution" and
the effect of this reached every avenue of

that none other than Democratic were al

hoders-steered as wide Of anything like
ideas as if these were the deadliest poison.
The few big men" ruled everything
They made the laws, they shaped public
sentiment; they made the church itself the
veriest coward, forcing it down upon its
knees. The journals went down, too, and
the sad fact is, few Of them ever got up
again. They toadied constantly to the few
..big men," If one of these but opened
his mouth, it was Homer or a Cicero come
again, no matter how stupid or devilish the
words which issued forth; and what one
':leadins' Southern Democratic Journal
said all the liltle-fry journals were sure to
say: and thus it was that the South be-
came one huge "mutual admiration socie
ty." where the health giving blood of true
criticism was never allowed to course
Things have bettered some since the war.
and yet the spirit of the old days still
broods above large portion of the South.
and so we have the journals there of which
we have spoken. And yet there is hope
for the future: only there must be patient
waiting before the full noontide comes.
Here and there Republican journal is
gaining foothold and forcing the old jour
nails into real earnest discussion. In this
fact lies great promise for the South.

THETEMPERANCE MOVEMENT AND
THE LICENSE LAW.

We have read with interest your remarks
on 1.-THE Temperance Movement and the
Rum Trade and are agreed with the
remarks there made, and cannot resist the
temptation to ask you to give Il little more
space to such articles as you may think
proper, as taking some new view, or point
ing ont some definite mode of attack, of 4
system that all confess to he an evil.
In the first pace it is lawful Jusiaess.-
1t stands on an equal footing with trades
and professions and is equally protected by
law. but the truth is it is unsq"aly pro-
tected It it were placed on an equal foot
ing with other trades, it would as surely
and as speedily come to an end us slavery
did when the special laws that had from
time to time been enacted to protect and
foster it, were about to be withdrawn. In
any other business. a man is held RESPONSE
BILE for any damage he may do to the pro-
perty of others by the pursuit of it. But
in the rum business the State grants spe-
cial protection to the agent. and secures
him from all action for damage to persons
or property, that he may commit. We
levy tax on the dogs of our county for
law the rum dogs to destroy our sons and
then do not even allow one to be chained
at home after it has committed the overt
act. 1t is the law that we should now
t1,at e =,
ton and diabolical in its execution. And
in order that 1t may be allowed to come
before the people that they may he allowed
to talk about it, think about it, and vote
about it, the present Local Option petitions
are being circulated. This you may per-
ceive is only Il compromise measure, but is
so simple, and withall so purely democratic
in the true sense Of the word, that no
reasonable man can oppose it: and they are
now being circulated and signed by per-
sons of all classes in all parts of orr State
What is known as the Ohio law is as
good or perhaps better, but it attacks the
evil from different side. 1t aims to make
the liquor trade self supporting by assess
ing the value of all the property employed
in the business and then making it liable
for all damage done. Any relative can
prosecute and recover damages for injury
to persons or property when caused by
drink and if the vender can not pay, the
holder of the property becomes liable.
If our present Legislature refuse TO
remove this incubus or allow the people
an opportunity to do it, then it becomes
the duty of every man to send men to
Annapolis who will do it. We cannot
escape the responsibility of our own acts
on this point and we must come up to the
work like men, like christians, and if we
would have this foul law removed from
our statute book we must not he afraid to
say So
