Every year increases the populari- ty of this valuable Hair Preparation; which is due to merit alone. We can assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfect cd preparation for restoring GRAY OF FADED HAIR to it's youthful color, making it soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp, by it's use, becomes white and clean. It removes all eruptions and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop critics, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands. By its use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In badness, it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create a new growth, except in extreme old age. It is the most eco nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used, as it requires fewer applications, and gives the hair splendid, glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State Assayer of Massachusetts, says, sThe constituents are pure, and care fully selected for excellent quality; and I consider it the BEST PREPA- RATION for it's intended purposes" Sold by oU Drsggists, and Dealers iR Medicines.

medium-sized body, clad in ordinary,
heavy, loose hanging clothes, an im-
mense felt hat, long. curling white hair
anu full silvery whiskers, which form a
deep, wide-spreading fringe that almost
covers his broad breast from shoulder to
shoulder. He may be seen often during
the day walking with heavy, sturdy
step amidst the promiscuous throng on
Pennsylvania Avenue. He seems to be
quite aware that he is sort Of lion,
for he looks neither to the right nor to
the left, but always straight ahead as if
bent on some particular errand. He is
well known on the street, because he
can be easily described. and once seen
cannot be forgotten.

The INDIAN wAR.-The Indian wa

The INDIAN WAR.-The Indian war
upon the borders of Oregon. and Cali
fornia, which was recently commenced
by the massacre, of large number of
white settlers by the Modoc Indians, is
proving to be Of much greater proper
tons than was at first anticipated. the
Modocs having been reinforced by other
wandering tribes, and occupying almost
impregnable positions in the mountain
fastnesses, from which they can only be
dislodged, if at all at great loss Of life
and treasurer. Forty Of the white
soldiers killed or wounded in the first
sortie, without the known loss Of one Of
the enemy, is not an encouraging pros
pect for speedy or inexpensive subju-.
CATION Of the savagefoe Gov. Booth,
of California, strange 10 say. positively
refuses any State aid towards prosecu-
ting the war against the Indians, but on
the contrary openly expresses his syu-
pathy with the enemy, the murdererrs Of
unoffending settlers. He recommends
to the General Government as a COM
prt mise that the hostile Indians should
be guaranteed amnesty for their past
of1enses, reservation Of public lanas
to be selected by themselves, and ample
provision for their future support, as
the conditions upon which they shall
lay down their arms. While this mag
unanimous proposition is pending, anoth-
er Oregon tribe of Indians, who are in
the enjoyment of all these privileges
on the Siletz reservation, are in Il state
OF lnsurrection to procure further con
cesslons from the Government. The
house of one settler has been burned.
and the white Inhabitants of the neigh
borhood have fed to fortified place for
protection. This is the inyariable result
OF the temporizing and concilla ory pol
icy with savage enemies; until they are
made accountable for their crimes,
taught to fear and compelled to obey
the laws, no progress can be maze to-
wards their civilization. and no security
provided again Indian out breaks, which
promise reward instead of punishment.
