gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not al
ways, cured by its use. Nothing can
restore the hair where the follicles
are destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed; but such as remain can
be saved by this application, and
stimulated into activity, so that
new growth of hair is produced. In
stead of fouling the hair with pasty
sediment, it will keep it clean and
vigorous. Its occasional use will pre-
vent the hair from turning gray or
falling of, and consequently prevent
badness. TlN restoration of vitality
it gives to the scalp arrests and
prevents the formation of dandruff,
which is often so uncleanly and Of
fensive. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some prepa-
tons dangerous, and injurious 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. Contain
ing 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.

LAND MONOPOLY.

The discussion Of This subject in its true
light is begi ming to crop out here and there,
and we view the discussion as by no means
premature. As long as there remained un-
occupied, unclaimed land of good quality,
subject to pre-emption and settlement by the
poor man in search of home, the acts Of
certain parties in procuring titles to large
tracts of country, met with but little oppo-
sition and created but little alarm. At last
the time has come, even sooner than was
anticipated, that all the land in California,
that may be classed as valuable for agri-
culture, mining, or for its timber, is in the
hands of individuals, and the Government
has, comparatively speaking, no more lands
to bestow on her humber citizens. Thou
sands of people are here and others con-
stantly coming to seek homes among u.s.,
but none are to be had without paying the
land-grabber, monopolist, speculator. or
what you choose to call him, his price,
which is becoming extortionate. This con-
dtion of affairs is calculated to seriously re-
tard our progress and blockade the natural
channel of developments which would 9TH
wise lead to the country's prosperity. 1t is
no wonder this condition of affairs creates
alarm, when we consider that Calfo,n MIA s
extensive area of 1S8, 1882 square miles, or
120, ,498, ,4S0 acres, is gobbled up by a pop
ulation of only $50, 900 all told, and out of
this limited number many are seeking for
chances to pre-empt land or settle on a
homestead, but can find none. The fact is,
nearly half Of the area of our State is
claimed by 200 OF 800 individuals. They
have monopoly Of the land, monopoly
which threatens more damaging results than
even the railroad power of the State. Ohio,
with an area of only 80, ,964 square miles,
not one fourth the area Of this State, sup
ports population of nearly 2,5OO,OO0, al
most four and a half times our population,
or, in proporsion to the area, about sixteen
to one. This would intimate the necessity
Of general splitting up of claims. Other
wise the inevitable result will be that few
rich nabobs-lacking only the ,itles-will
own and rule our commons, as is the de-
plorable condition in many European coun-
tries, and the people must become serfs and
slaves to their bebests, or at least, tenants
of their masters. Such condition an
American shudders 70 contemplate. 1t ap-
peals to the noblest efforts of our statesmen
to avert it, and we trust our Legislators at
the coming session will not evade due
consideration of this important subject.
