Ay Q RS
Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair it's
natural Vitality and Color.

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 un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

AUouk SCVOAIy Lives Lost
CAIRO, Ill.,, April 1.-THE steamer
Oceanus, from the Red River to St.
Louis, when near Brooks Poiot, three
miles above here, at 4 a. NJ, exploded
her boiler, blowing the upper works
almost entirely away, Immediately af-
ter which the wreck took fire, burn
ing to the waters edge.
Pilot Thompson, of the steamer
John Lumsden, lying few miles be-
low, on seeing the light from the
burning wreck, manned a yawl and
proceeded up the river to ascertain
the cause. He found a small party Of
survivors on the head of the island,
but passed on to relieve these on the
wreck. On reaching it, ten or twelve
men were clioging to tie wheel, but
it dropped before he reached them,
and all but four were lost. He found
deck passenger, name unknown, near
the shores badly scalded, who died
before his arrival at Cairo.
The steamer Belle of ST. Louis took
nearly all the survivors.
CAIRO, April 12th.-Nearly all that
Is known in reference to the Oceanus
disaster is to the effect that from sixty
to eighty souls persisted, either in tho
flames or the water, and that nearly all
the officers and crew are lost. Capt.
Alfred Reeder and the first clerk are
burned. So was Harry Trip, ono of
the Pilots. Another Pilot, Wigg ms,
was drowned. The second clerk was
drowned, and was picked up by his
brother, Charles Worsham, of the ste an
er A. NJ. Shreeve. The Belle of St.
Louis, going up, p,cked-up thirty six
persons, six of whom died before reach.
ing Cape Giradeau. 1t is impossible
to get list of the saved now, as the
boat is a total wreck, the books and re-
cords and everything else being des-
troyed. This is absolutely all that is
known in Cairo.
ST.. LOUIS, April l5.-The Inquest
on tho bodies of the victims OF the en-
rlosion of the steamer Oceanus closed
yesterday. The jury in their verdict
state that they are unable to determine
the cause Of tie explosion. Although
about dozen steamers have reached
here since the explosion, intelligence of
finding but two additional bodies has
been brought by them, and these bodies
have not been identified II
