much care, to restore gray or faded

quickly and effectually accomplish
this result. 1t is easily applied,
and produces a color which will
neither rub nor wash off. Sold by

The Greeieyite Ratification.

Without doubt, the most ridiculous
and farcial spectacle over presented in
this city, was the meeting held in the
market house on Thursday evening to
ratify Greeley's nomination at Baltimore
for president. In the first place, the
adherents of what was once called the
Democratic party, composed about one
half Of those present, the other halt be-
ing Republicans we'll known for their
devotion to Grant, the mass present not
exceeding three hundred voters. 1t
looked very much like an assemblage
that did not know for what purpose ii
was called together-like an impromptu
meeting of men to listen to host story
or the relation of fanatics adventure
in a new religion. The Republicans
present who understood the cEeat, were
merry, droll set of men, enjoying them
selves hugely at the chagrin and humili-
alton Of the What you cali thent.-[State

THE FIRST BATTLE.

Republicans must not lose sight Of
the fact in the "noise and confusion"
raised by the Baltimore nominations,
that we have great battle 70 fight in
this State before the Presidential elec-
ton occurs, and that upon the result Of
that battle may depend the issue of the
Presidential contest in the Union. 1t
we want to make the election of Grant
and Wilson certain, we must elect the
Republican State ticket in October, and
to the accomplishment of that the whole
energy of the party should be directed
from this time forward. To work, then,
at once Let ever good Republican
take his post, and by word and deed
strive for the success of the whole State
ticket, for upon that will depend, in a
great degree, whether the electoral vote
of Pennsylvania will be with us or
against us in November. We have
good men on the ticket-reliable meu--
Hartranft, Mercur and Allen-and if
the party is true to its principles, is en-
ergetic and vigilant and turns out in its
strength at the election, we must be
successful. We can only be defeated by
lethargy and treachery in our own
ranks.-[ Harrisburg Telegraph.

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 a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with 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 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.

IT would be well for the Greeley
Democrats who prate so much about the
dishonesty, corruption, and stealing Of
the present administration to read and
thoroughly digest the following state.
ment from the United States Treasury
Department as published in the N. Y.
Observer Of July 4th, 1872.
WHAT THE U. S. TREASURY LOSES. An
American gentleman about to visit Europe
has written to the Treasury Department,
making inquiry as to the amount Of losses
In the collection of the internal and customs
revenue. the losses sustained by depositors
in national banks, and the amount of public
money lost through defaulting officials. To
this request, Assistant Secretary Richard.
son replies that from March 8, 1869, to
March 8, 1872, the loss to the Government
in collecting the internal revenue was less
than the one.f .tieth of one per cent. of the
amount collected, or less than 81 in ST O, 900.
According to the statement of the Commiss-
ioner of Customs, showing the amount of
money collected from customs for a period
of two years and -fourths of year,
fro the 1st of April, 1869, to the 3Ist of
December, 1871, the estimated ultimate
loss to the Government is S2S,000 out of
S553, 100000 of collections, or the one two.
hundredth part of one per cent, being
somewhat less than So in 100000. The
Controller of the Currency furnishes
schedule of all the national banks that have
failed during the three years from June !,
1869, to June ], 1872, with their capital,
the amount Of claims proved and the diyi-
denus paid on the claims, from which it
appears that the estimated average annual
losses of these years were from S21, 700 to
$40, 100. On the basis of the constant
average amount of ofdeposits of 1914, SOC, 900,
it is found that the ratio of estimated loss
to creditors through the insolvency of Ma
tional banks has been the one ne-hundred
ana eighty-sixth part of one per cent of
such deposits equivalent to FIVE dollars and
three. .eights of a dollar in 100000
There is also staten ent furnished by
the United States Treasurer, showing the
total amount of money entries as they ap-
pear on the books of the Treasury of the
United States at Washington covering
period Of eleven and one,half years, from
the 30th Of June, 1861, to the 9th of Jan.
uary, 1872, to be somewhat over ffty-ive
thousand millions Of dollars 1855, 104, ,232,
283), and that the loss during these eleven
and half years wGs slightly in excess
of fifty-fve thousand dollars (55, 5,057), the
loss being less than one ten thousandth
part of one per cent, or less than 81, in
81 100000 of money transactions.
