French plate glass in windows is not an indication of snobbishness. Every house in the land should have its French plate. and the present glass should be buried far below the surface of the earth. An incident which occurred Sunday after noon illustrates the grievous defect of the American window glass. A young lady living on Rose Hill had seated herself at the window which comfnandad q range Of the road to wait for a young man who is all in al to her in this life.S ENnen he came in sight she was ranging through one of those panes which are capable of almost m unlimited number of changes.
 See perceived her lover as Le appeared over the hill, and recognized him at once. Immediately he ceased to become her John, and closed up to waddlinQ partv of abdut four hundrod pounds burden. Then he eudd6nly split. in two lercth- ways and each half bobbed up and down toward her. She would have shrieked in horror but q new transformation turned the tide of her emotions. The parts came together again and shot up to Q great al- fitude, and immed diately sunk down again, and what but moment before was her admired John was now m obiect of many revolving legs, like a beetle drunken with new wine. The poor girl was so affected by this marvellous change that she burst intoss an .uncontrolla lable laughing fit, and emerged from 1t 'a maniac. She was re. moved Co MiddletoWn this morning ac- eQmpanisd by her distressed parents, and aII Chat medical art can do will be done for her reliefs but the case appears al. most hopeless.

 =YsS HAR
 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 ed preparation for restoring GRAY OR 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 dandruR 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 a splendid, glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The constituents are pure, and care fully selected for excellent quality; and I consider 1t the BEST PREPA- RATION for it's intended purposes" Sold by aH D,ztggisss, and Dealers is Medicines.

CONGRESS,

Very little business has been completed
in Congress as yet, although several i'm
portant mea suros are under consideration.
The debate on the salary repeal bill ended
in ordering il re-committed to the special
com mittec, with instructions to report a bill
repeating the salary act. The committee
prese nted their report, and on wednesday,
under the leadership of Gen. Butler, the
House passed salary bill, liking the pay
of senators and congressman at $4,000, with
actual travelling expenses, giving the vice
president and speaker $4,000, and leaving
the increased salaries of the president, cab
met and supreme court as they now are.
Butler delivered one Of his choicest black

himself. There is a general feeling Of dis

The increase of the public debt the last
mouth was trifle over nine millions OF
dollars. This is owing, first, TO the decrease
of our imports and consequent diminution
of customs revenue, also TO considerable
decrease Of internal revenue on account of
the lessening OF the production Of manu-
features second, TO the largely increased
expenditure for repairing and fitting out
naval vessels, aud mahing other necessary
preparations to meet the possible contin-
gency of war. Everything considered, The

would be. 1t Is enough, however, 10 warn
