ROAST PIG.-Years ago, when Ben
nington was something less of place,
and when roast pig was a fixed institu-
ton at all public dinners, some of our
early wags bargained with a well re-
membered Bennington landlord to feed
"countryman," whose appetite the
jokers were better acquainted with
than the landlord, "all he wanted to
eat" for dinner on a certain public oc-
casion. The landlord had roasted three
pigs for his dinner on that day. The
countryman, by arrangement, had an
early dinner, and the first chance at the
pigs. After he had eaten nearly two
of them and called for more, the land
lord weakened! "For Heavens sake,
said he "sToP! and l won't charge any
thing for the two you have eaten" "
The surprised stranger, whose appetite
was still excellent, consented, and left
the balance of the feast for the waiting
crowd.-Bennington Banner.

REDUCTION OF PosTAGE.-Mr. Hills
bill for the reduction of postage pro-
poses to make the ordinary letter half
ounce rate two cents and Mr. Porters,
to amend the new postal code, is de-
signed to effect a reversal of the Post
master-General's ruling that double
postage must be collected on partially
prepaid letters. Mr.. Kellogg in his
bill names April l, 1878, as the date
on and after which stamps on checks
and drafts shall no longer be required,
and provides for the redemption of I'M
used stamps.

Judge Merrimon, boiling Demo
crat, was chosen to the United States
Senate from Mort Carolina, receiving
81 votes, including all the Republican,
to 80 for Gov. Vance. Merrimon was
supported by the Democrats and Con
servatives of that State as candidate
for Governor at the last August cleo
ton, and now he is chosen by Repub-
licans to the Senate. If this is the
sort of a man that he is, it is a mighty
lucky circumstance that be was not
elected to the gubernatorial chair last
summer.

Two Of the meanest and most
despicable pieces of partisan bigotry
that we have seen exhibited lately are
the refusal of the United States Sen
ate last week to adjourn from Tuesday
till Thursday, to enable such Senators
as desired, to attend the funeral of the
late Horace Greeley, on the day fol-
lowing. And also the almost i'm
mediate adjournment of the Senate on
Tuesday to prevent the delivery of
eulogistic speeches of Mr.. Greeley, by
Senators Fenton and Sumner.

To bless mankind with an emollient,

Who'll heal your wounds, and make you leap

SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Thursday Dec. IL, 1871.
To Democrats.

From what we can learn from
prominent Democratic papers and
other reliable sources, the Democracy
of the country. notwithstanding their
late disastrous defeat, intend to keep
alive in vigorous and healthy state
their party organization. This is
necessary for the present as well as
the future prosperity of the country.
We need not in this brief article re-
peat the urgent reasons why we should
have change in the rulers and the
administration of the National Govern
ment These reasons have been urged
with much zeal and ability during the
late Presidential canvass, and they had
no good effect upon the people of the
country. Grant was reelected and his
party continued in power for another
term. 1t seems that the promised Re
FORMS, which were guaranteed the
people as an inducement 10 vote for
Grant, (now the battle has been won,)
are not sure to be carried out. In
Grants late Message we find no rec
concentrations of any retrenchment
of the government expenses no
promise that the extravagancies and
shortcomings in the government will
cease or be corrected. We find in the
Message no relief for the people from
the burdens of the taxation, asked for,
or urged upon the consideration of
Congress. On the contrary we are
plainly told in the Message that "With
the great reduction of taxation by the
acts of Congress at its last session the
expenditure of the Government in
collecting the revenue will be much
reduced for the next fiscal year. 1t is
very doubtful, however, whether any
further reduction of so vexatious a
burden upon the people will be practi-
cable for the present" And further
we find in the document many recon-
mendations of boards officers, with
large appropriations of money, for
what we call useless and extravagant
purposes. Probably as subsidies for
the politicians who labored for the re-
election of our present Chief Magis-
trate. We cannot enlarge upon this
fruitful topic.
As long as our Notional Govern
ment is administered in the loose, I'm
Constitutional and corrupt way that
it now is, we trust the Democratic
party will remain in the field intact
and battle, as it ever has, all illegiti-
mate and wanton perversions Of the
Government from the intentions and
purposes of its original founders.

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 follcles 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 dandruf, 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 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.
