The New York Tribune's Vienr

The New York Tribune's Vienna
communications from Mr.. W. j. Still
man do not give quite so hopeful an
exhibit Of the success with which
American disgrace abroad are being
obliterated as Official announcements
would lead the country 10 suppose,
A large part Of the seven hundred and
fifty cases of wine and other restaurant
goods which went to Vienna by way
of Bremen and Hamburg, at public
expense, has been seized by the Aus
trian Government, and though they
will probably be given up on the pay
ment of duties, etc, the United States
has been nicely taken in. Some of
the Commissioners Mr.. Stillman thinks
innocent Of anything wrong unless it
be neglect Of dnty in shutting their
eyes to what was going on about
them, and on that score the President
and Secretary Fish are even more
culpable. The former was informed
of the principal facts in the matter be-
fore the Commission left New York,
and instead of looking into the sus-
picious circumstances personally, he
and Mr. Fish left the affair in the
hands of those interested in avoiding
an investigation, and only became dis
tressed and inspired with a gust of
official rigor when the irregularities
grew so notorious that something had
to be done about them. The very
mention Of the American Commission
is said to be still opprobrious, and an
injury has been done the nation which
nothing can entirely retrieve.

The Albany On. w. Ay1us C

The Albany On. Y.,) argus COM
ments with natural indignation upon
the ostentatious display made by the
arrival of the Presidents household at
Long Branch, when eight furniture
wagons transported the luggage from
the railroad station to the house, fol-
lowed by five carriages and nine or ten
horses, forpleasure taking. Such mag
nihcence, the Argus says, accounts for
the Presidents signature of the Salary
Grab bill; but our contemporary fails
TO notice the fact that many of the ar
ticles thus brought to Long Branch
were not the Presidents property, but
belonged to the nation, and were mov-
ed from the White House and its sur.
roundings without due regard to the
rights Of the real owner.

UNPAID ELECTIoNEERING Bills
From the following statement it ap
pears that the ant,Republicans have

an Administration journal demonstrat-
ed the unftness of ''B. Gratz B. for

argument could have done. Other
papers offered equally valuable testi-
mony to the service he was doing the
cause. With such witnesses he brings
suit in the Supreme Court Of Illinois
against Jonathan Young Scammon
and other members of the State Com
mittee for $4,000, claiming that as
the sum due him for singing in the
Grant vote in his circuit. 1t is said
that the Committee will plead that
they offered Mr.. Hubbard what was
left of the campaign fund after they
were through with it, but the plaintiff
was probably not acquiescent. As
there seems to be no doubt that Mr..
Lumbard's songs made more votes
than corresponding number of cam
paign speeches, it will be better not
to. incur his displeasure, or he may in
very spite sing for the other side next
time.

much since their construction are now
being extensively used. They were
built at a cost of nearly two thousand
dollars, on the farm formerly owned
by Mr.. Daniel, from whom it was Dur.
chased by its present owners. 1t may
be of interest to some of your readers
to learn the manner and the conven-
fences that are furnished by the road,
at the present time for the care of
stock being transported to market.
The cattle shed, or shoots, so called,
are two hundred feet in length, with
seven sliding doors, where the same
number of cars can be set to load or
unload. Inside of this building are
gates made to close so that each car
load may be kept separate until ready
to be run into the yards; there is an
engine head light, so placed that it
throws light the whole length of this
building and one over the run way that
lights the yards, which are construct
ed of heavy planks, with feed racks
running one side of them and pure
running spring water in every pond,
brought by pipes from a large resor-
volr ON the mountain in the rear CT the
hotel. The yards and shoots are all

1t is asserted in Washington city

1t is asserted in Washington city
that the increase from $4,000 to
100000 of the capital stock of Har
lan's Daily Chronicle, of that city,
which was made a few days, ago,
came from the friends of an Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, who want and expect to keep
him prominently before the public as
an available candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1876. In the good old days
ofpolitical honesty and governmental
purity, when pure and undefled Dem
ocracy ruled the nation-it would
have been thought almost crime for
a Judge of the U. S. Supreme Court,
to dabble in politics Or to seek for
another Office. But times have chang
ed and in these days ofprolifc politi-
cal degeneracy and corruption we are
not surprised at anything. BY the
way we should really like to know the

gloss and freshness Of y0uth. 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 torma-
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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
