gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroved, 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 grey or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton Of dandruh,. which is often so I'M
clcanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
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 a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

A Thrilling Runaway.

Last evening about Z o'clock jeff

which he uses to deliver milk. to at
tend the ball Of the Social Club. When
near the Manhattan mill, In cndeayor-
ing to cross a transverse road which Is
a level below the main road. lie
missed stays and fell In among the
horses. The team ut once took fright
aud dragging the lines from jeff
hands started down the hill at u break
neck pace. Mrs. Hull. with great
presence OF mind, climbed from the
seat to the back Of the wagon and en-
deavcred to unfasten the hind gate,
with the intention OF leaping from the
rear Of the wagon. She was unsuc-
cessful In her efforts to nnfasten the
gate, so she settled down In the bottom
OF the wagon and took tho chances on
what might happen. The team con-
tinued In Its mad career down Court
street until 1t arrived In tho g a Of
Remington's old blacksmith shop,
when IL took = flying leap from the
embankment, which Is about twelve
feet high. The wagon struck a rail
fence. being dragged by the horses a
distance Of about twenty feet, when 1t
turned over, throwing Mrs. Hull TO
the grouud, from which, strange to
relate, she arose unhurt. While the
team was running. jeff, whose Knee
was hurt by being RIM over, was run
ming along In the rear, expecting ut
every step to discover the mangled
corpse OF his wife, and his joy ut find
ing her safe can be better imagined
than described. The team traversed a
distance of at least half a mile, down
a steep grade, aud 1t seems miraculous
that the lady escaped with her life ;
but she was not even scratched. 1t IL
not once In ten thousand times, that
under similar circumstances a person
In the position Of Mrs. Hull would
have come off unhurt, and she ought
to thank her lucky stars for her for
tunate escape.-Reese Rirer Receias.

AN oBsoLErE WRIT AppLIED FOR.

The ancient English writ known as
de reatre iaspiciendo was applied tor
in New York In the Supreme Court
Chambers a few days since, before
Judge Fanchsr. Malcolm Campbell,
who represented the petitioner, Sam
uel S. Browning. handed In the petit
ton. which relates that he Is a grand
son of Frederick Rollwagen, who died
at the age Of 63. Three years before
his death he married Magdalena Her
man.. aged As, who had never borne
children. He died In October, after
having suffered from paralysis. II the
widow were now to have q child. the
petitioner would be deprived Of prop
erty which he would otherwise inherit.
He asked that the Sheriff be directed
to summon n jury Of matrons to ex-
anime the defendant so as to prevent
a fraudulent infant from being set up
as hers. Mr.. Arnoux in reply argued
that the writ was obsolete, and there
was no cast Of the kind on record In
the United States, and that such an
emergency was amply provided for by
the statute which empowers the Court
to obtain a medical certificate. The
Court denied the motion, and three
physicians were ordered to be selected
-one by the petitioner, one by the re-
spondent, and a third by the Court.

Tins morning we received a copy Of
volume l, No. 1, of the San Francisco
Sun, a new journal just issued at the
Bay City. 1t comes out rs weekly,
but proposes being also n daily on and
after December Ii. It Is published BY
the "Sun Publishing Company" and
processes fearless independence In the
the matter OF politics and future in
tentions, announcing that the old es-
tablished newspapers In San Francisco
are fast decaying out Of existence. and
that the Sun Is merely published to
take their place and fill the hungering
wants Of the people. It proposes de-
manding revenue reform, return to
specie payments, repeal Of the pro-
tective tariff. the abandonment OF Gov
eminent subsidies, and the adoption Of
other important reforms, and although
it declares no stated line Of political
faith. yet, judging from the tenor OF
its editorials, it is inclined to Dolly
Vardenism. geographically, the
Sun shows a tolerably clear, bright
face, yet the clumsy black heading and
heavy head rules, give 1t the appear
ance Of the sun under a cloud.

From Cherry Greek,

From a friend just In from the above
place, a resident Of Mineral Hill and
In no wise interested In the town or
mines, we obtain the following facts
The town Il situated In the low foot
hills. about four miles from the most
prominent mines of tho district. The
mines are In the high mountains, at an
altitude of about 1000 feet above the
town level. Good water and wood
are very plentiful. The population of
the district Is about 500. The town
has two grocery stores, three eating
houses, two lodging houses, two livery
stables and five saloons. and all are
doing a very lively business. Every
thing Is rushing, reminding n Of the
flush times OF '63. Lots In the busi-
ness portion Of town are worth from
$3.50 to $3.50 each. The Geneva mine,
belonging to the Teacup Company,
seems to be about six feet wide, aud Is
all good milling ore; but very little
work has been done on 1t as yet. The
Tsacup mine has an incline shaft sunk
upon 1t to u depth Of ninety feet, show
ing a well-defined ledge the entire dis.
lance, pitching at an angle OF forty-flve
degrees. and Is beautifully cased be-
tween limestone OIL the bottom and
slate on top. The Exchequer mine,
located by Jim Parker and others, Is
very rich. 1t Is the one sold to j. w.
Gashwiler and others for $40. 900. Tho
Company erected a little five.stamp
prospecting mill at Egan Canyon for
the purpose Of working their ore, and
1t Ia believed they have taken out suf-
fcient bullion already to make them
whole on their Investment. General
Rosecrans Is at Eagan representing
the old Eagan property, and Is making
arrangements to pump out the compa-
ny's mine, preparatory to the working
OF the same. Il Is reported that j. Il.

aMEAsURE FOR MEASURE,

The new weekly paper, with the
above Shakspearian name, which W..
J. Forbes, editor aud proprietor, has
inaugurated and established at Battle
Mountain, Lander county, Nevada, re-
allied its first issue on Saturday last,
and we are favored with a copy. It Is
ably edited, contains q goodly amount
Of well-selected reading matter, and
II the Battle Mouutsineers don't sup
port 1t handsomely, they certainly lack
respectable sense and appreciation.
Forbes announces independence In pol
itics or anything else. yet his leading
editorial reads sound, consistent, and
true to good, honest Republican prin-
ciples. As to that matter, good honest
Democrats could not fall to approve Of
it. Forbes shows no favor at all to
those old, u~nprinclpled, time-serving
politicians Of the Dolly Warden stripe,
who are so speciously endeavoring to
form a new party and take the politi-
cal field by storm under the name Of
"Grangers," "Reformers," and SINH
lar weak Inventions. Forbes evidently
has rs little faith In the sincerity Of
these rotten limbs and suckers, these
played out political hacks, corrupt re-
formers, interested boilers and ship
scuttlers as we have. He closes with
the following squarely sensible re-
mark:
whichever Of the old parties can
give the best assurance OF an honest
effort to correct abuses In office, Is en-
titled to respect but we can have but
little respect for the present leaders OF
this movement. believing that they
only mean to sell 1t In the pool to the
highest bidder"

Of the country, through a tax upon ill.,
comes, or In any event, by imposing
additional duties upon imported BRAN
