| A VERY INTERESTING WORK
We have just received from the Ma
tional Publishing Co. Of Cincinnati, Q
copy ofProf. o. s. Fowler's great work,
on Manhood, Womanhood, and their
Mutual Interrelations /; Love, Its Laws,
Power, etc. We hail its advent with
undisguised satisfaction, and cordially
commend it to the perusal Of all cla sses
of our community. Forty years ex-
perience rs q teacher and lecturer on
science, and long life devoted TO con-
sultations and advice in connection
with subjects concerning which men
and women hesitate to confide-even
in their physicians-have eaabled Pro-
fessor Fowler to give to the world the
most remarkable and useful volume Of
the day, and one which should find its
way Into the hands Of every conscien.
tious men and women.
As its title indicates, 1t is devoted to
an explanation of the laws which gov-
ern the sexes in their relations to each
other; the ignorance OF which causes SO
much sorrow and suffering in the
world. Thousands will thank the au-
thor for his disclosures, and we predict
that the book will mark the beginning
of clearer understanding Of the sub
jects whereof it treats.
The best guarantee Of its suggestions
and remedies. meet the approval OF
every intelligent physician in the coun-
try. 1t exposes quacks and patent
medicines numerically, and by its
common-sense-views will save many
a dollar for those who follows Its in
structions, as well as put them on the
sure road to health. The book appeals
TO every class, and to people ofall ages,
tasts, and habits, and We hope 1t will
be read by every man and women in
in our broad land. The author address
ses himself with especial force to those
contemplating marriage, and we most
cordially commend his book to all
such. 1t is pure and elevated in tone,
and abounds in the most useful infor-
nation concerning the sexes. Its low
price brings it within the reach OF all.
and the information it contains Is be-
yond value. It's circulation will be Q
benefit to society.
The book is sold by subscription
only, and the publishers want agents
in every county.

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
tho 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 q pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrutf, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterions substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Viger can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for . HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can bs found 50 desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it . rich, GLOSSY
iu'tre, and . grateful perfume.

Review of Congressional Pr O.
oesdings--Increase of Salaries.

The extraordinary action OF the
Forty-second Congress in passing a
bill for the increase of salaries just at
the close of its official term, and max
ing the measure retroactive in relation
to their own compensation, calls for
more than the ordinary scrutiny ap-
plicable to public measures of equal
importance.
That Congress which, TO say the
least, has, in some respects, left a
most unenviable record should, with
its expiring gasp, thrust its own arms
into the public treasury to the tune of
more than a million of dollars for ser
vices for which the lawful compensa-
ton had been already paid, will GER
tainly be a matter of surprise to the
country at this time, and ultimately,
unless we are mistaken, will come
home to plague the men who have
to such a result.

Death from Smoking

The New York correspondent of the Buff
alo Commercial Advertiser writes:
ga case in my own intimate acquaintance
has this very day appalled, large circle of
friends of this city. The victim was exact
ly of my own years, and companion from
early boyhood. For thirty years at least he
has been daily smoker of the choicest ci-
gars, but in all his other habits temperate
and regular, and of excellent constitution
one who, of all men, would have laughed at
the suggestion that tobacco was killing him.
A few weeks ago last Sunday night he was
stricken with the progressive paralysis
Characteristic of nicotine, and on Sunday
night he died. His death was most pitiful
First, sight was lost, then speech, then mo-
ton of the neck, then motion of the arms,
and SO on, throughout the body, and he lay
for fortnight unable to move or make a
sign, save pitiful, tongueless, inarticulate
sound, which sometimes rose TO almost
frantic effort, but all in vain, to make known
what he wished to say to his family or
friends; for his consciousness and mental
faculties, were left unimpaired until within
two hours of the last, to aggravate to the ut
termost the horrors of his situation-a iv-
ing soul in dead body. The sense. of hear
ing was impaired, SO that he was conscious
of all around him, while as incapable of
communication with them as if dead, save
by slight sign of assent or dissent to ques-
ton. The doctors were fully agreed that
tobacco was the sole cause of this stroke.

School Directors.

A short time since we promised to
say something on this subject, and as
the Spring election is near at hand,
we deem this the proper time. Now
we do not wish to bring politics OF
party spirit into this Department, OF
into the school election. If an officer
proves efficient, do not make any
change, simply to get a man of your
political or religious faith. A man
needs some training to direct Educa-
tional affairs. We often make great
mistakes in selecting inexperienced
and unqualified men for that position.
Our schools should be under the con-
troll of the best men we have, men OF
sound Judgment, liberal views, and, if
possible, liberal education. -
Perhaps one of the greatest draw
backs is, that there is no compensa-
ton. Men do not like to work for
nothing and board themselves" We
affirm, that there should only be as
many officers as are actually necessary,
and they should be paid for the time
employed. Government, in none of
its branches, has the right to demand
mans time or labor without remu
neration, no matter how little that la
Dor or time may be. IF we elect a
suitable person, and he acts as clerk,
takes the enumeration, attends two or
three meetings for the purpose of en-
ploying teachers; seeing to repairs,
&C., also the meetings OF, TIP. Board,
he generally wishes to retire to priuate
life, against one term of three years
has expired. We inquire, "Would
not 5000 cover all such expenses in
each Congressional District!
The householders are too indiffer-
ent about the election perhaps halfaF
dozen meet from year to year, and
elect some one, who may be willing
to take the place, regardless of his
qualifications Perhaps he knows lit
tie, and cares less. Or, as was the
case last year, nobody attends, and
consequently, there is no election.
Now, these things should not be.
Such gross negligence we believe is
criminal Let the clerk, in his notice
of the election, specify the hour; lit
tie time viii be lost /; and if the voter
cannot spare an hour or two to go and
vote, how can he ask his neighbor to
lose the. time necessary to attend to
the duties of his Office? ~

A Home.

But what is the end of human habita-
tion? Is it merely place wherein fellow.
mortals meet and eat, drink and sleep Sc
curely beneath roof? A house is reared
to be a home-the centre where family
may gather into one; to be serene retreat
where the tenderest affections may find rest;
that within its walls love may have a dwell.
ing-place, and the charities of life gain am
pie scope and happiness; that parents and
children may there press one another heart
to heart; that sorrows and joys may be free
ly shared in confidence; that troubled spirits
may disburden themselves and be. blessed
with pardon and peace; and, in word,
that the great work of training human be-
ings for the duties of the present life and
the perfection of another maybe begun and
carried on. These are the true end of a
human dwelling. AS we pass through the
streets of city what thought of undying
interest it is; that within these numberless
houses are rich romances of domestic life
hearths, round which are gathered, at eve
ming, the members of family scattered by
day, husbands and wives, parents and chill
dren, brethren and sisters-the sick. and
suffering nursed by the strong, the aged
waited on by the respectful assiduity Of the
young amidst all the sympathies, labors,
hopes, joys, sorrows of disinterestedlove!-
