oloss 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 folliclcs
are destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed; but such rs 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 n pasty
sediment, it will keep it clean and
vigorous. It's occasional use will pre-
vent 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 formation of dandruif,
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 tor
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 a rich, glossy
lustre, and q grateful perfume.

PROSPECTUS.

We call the attention Of our friends
the State to the very liberal
terms upon which the STATE JOUR
NAL is offered for 1878, and the extraor-
binary inducements to form clubs, espe-
cially for our Semi w eekly and Week
ly editions.
Clubs can be made up from as many
different postoffices as there are names,
which can be sent in, with the cash, as
fast as obtained, and when completed the
extra copy will be forwarded to any adj
dress named.
Make up Club at once, or send in your
name. Remember that SIS will pay for
six copies of the Weekly for one year,
and $40 will pay for ten copies of the
Weekly and one copy of the Semi
Weekly for one year, and for every ten
subscribers for one year to SEMI-W EEK
LY or twenty subscribers for one year to
WEEKLY, we will give copy of the
"Great Industries Of the United
States" worth $3.50.

mAsrY rrGIsLATrON.

One of the most vicious features OF our
State legislation is the tendency to rush
everything through after the holidays with
indecent haste. The limited period as
signed for maturing and framing laws for
the vast and varied interests Of great
state, is altogether too short for the proper
performance of the work. 1t must be re-
membered that we have had no extended
session of the Legislature since the war. A
new constitution has been adopted radical
ly different from the old. The institutions
of the State have been radically changed.
New industries, new social conditions, and
the introduction of new elements into the
problem of our civilization, demand COM
plete revision Of the laws.
There has been no adequate attempt to
adapt legislation to the new conditions. A
very grave difficulty has been in the attempt
of each party to make q long session mat
ter Of reproach against the other. This is
now happily changed, as we believe, and a
more just and patriotic temper inspires
men of all parties. The great need of the
State is thoroughly matured legislation.
We need body of laws characterized by
unity, compactness, and the best ideas OF
this liberal and enlightened age on all SUBJ
jects. Such work can be accomplished
only by a prolonged session of the legis-
ture, or by adjourned sessions with numer'
GUS ad interem committees. 1t would cost
few thousand dollars extra, but its work
would be worth millions to the State,
The first Legislature after the new consti
tuition in Illinois sat ten months in all
holding adjourned and extra sessions. Lit
work is all embodied in four hundred anC
sixty-six pages, so condensed ant
thorough was its legislation. This il
the perfection of the art OF making laws
Man should seek to initiate his Create
by reaching the best results through gen
eral laws. We believe the time has COM
when the people will cheertully grant tn
Legislature time to perfect its work, ant
cease the miserable system of patch
work and botching which has wasted tn
peoples substance and disgraced the State
The time has come when good men {
/, all parties can unite in the serious an
exhaustive study OF the great social prot
f lens which are involved in the rehabilits
ton of our State, and her full restitutio
to the front rank of the Union.

A RIVAL to the famed Yosemite has
been found in the canon of Tuolumme
river, where it forces its way through the
Sierra Nevada mountains in California. 1t
is said to extend forty miles in q curved
line, and presents some of the most pictu-
rescue scenery in the world. The river is
much larger than the MERGED river in the
Yosemite, and though it has no falls of an
unbroken column of water equal to those in
the latter valley, it surpasses it in the
variety Of its cascades. The walls of the
canon present spectacles of unsurpassed
grandeur. Some of the water leaps are OF
great height, while the views at every point
are beautiful in the highest degree.

TILE nANKRupT Law.

The Republican delegation in Congress
are using their best efforts to secure such
complete definition Of the bankrupt law in
its relation to homestead exemption as
shall secure the imperilled homes Of the
unfortunate. We want to see the home Of
every family made sacred forever as
shelter and support. Every bulwark OF
the law should be raised to shield it from
harm aud loss. 1t is the nest W here the
young hedglings Of humanity are bred and
reared. Even the birds of the air and the
beasts OF the field guard it with every care,
and battle for it with the fierceness of
desperation. The law should encourage
home building as the safest prop of the
Commonwealth. The national as well as
State laws should make a landed reservation
"a farm in the country, and lot initown,
with their improvements-foreyer exempt.
1t should be published and known that no
credit can be claimed upon this property.
| One hundred acres is little enough in the
country to be thus exempted. With this
exemption, in all cases, men would be en-
couraged tomake permanent improvements,
and to surround themselves with beautiful
and comfortable appointments 10 their
homesteads. The state as well as indi-
viduals would be benefited by the increased
value of property and general prosperity Of
the people. The hearty support Of the
Legislature should be given to every good
proposition for the relief Of our people,
overtaken by rnisfoItunes in the sad times
through which we have passed.

SCIENTISTS feel confident Of being able
shortly to so study the sun-spots as to
feretell an earthly storm as easily as an
eclipse. IT seems the spots are response
BILE for all the bad weather. And then it
is proposed to dispense with all ocean ca
bles by sending aerial kilograms from the
highest peak of the Alps to the highest
peak of the Rocky mountains. by an appa-
ratus which shall concentrate electricity
enough to send pulsation through the
rarifed atmosphere from one peak to
the other. A bin chartering company to
do this thing has passed both houses Of
Congress, and only awaits the Presidents
signature to become law. But query
VIII nature accommodate her laws to those
of Congress so as to send an electrical pulsa-
ton half around the globe and register
itself from peak to peak among the alps of
the world? If so, Byron was not only
the mighty poet of England, but the grand
est prophet of the centuries. For his pro-
phetic eye caught its inspiration thus:
Ear along i
| From peak TO peak, the rafting crags among,
| Leaps the ltUe thunder not from one lone cloud,
! But every mountain now hath found tongue,
And Jura, answering from her misty shroud
Back to The joyous Alps, which call TO her
| aloud"
And he had only to 60 notch further to
hit the Office of the I" live thundero square
on the head.
But seriously, recent scientific expert
ments would indicate that this scheme is
anything but Utopian, and that its light
ming feat" may vet be accomplished. What
wonder next?
