GLOSS and freshness OF yOut"' INN
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-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
docsyed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stlmu-
lated into activity, SO that a 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
cohseouently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and prevents the torma-
tion of dandruff, which is often SO un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
| deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and lnIu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. II wanted
merely for a HAIR DREsSlNG,
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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

SAN JUAN SETTLERs.--It will be seen
by the following proclamation that the
possessory rights of the settlers on San

never had doubt they would be, not
withstanding the reports to the contra
ry, credited by the Victoria papers:

Of the Emperor of Germany, under date
of October 81, 1872 certain territory
heretofore held by joint occupation of
Great Britain and the United States, in
cluding the island of San Juan and TIL
|er islands, in the district of lauds sub
ject to sale at Olympia, Washington
Territory, is decided to belong to the
jurisdiction of the United States; and,
Whereas. it appears that there are
many subjects of Great Britain now in
occupancy of portions of the said terri
tory, whose rights and possessory titles
are claimed to be protected by the pro-
visions of the Treaty with Great Britain,
made at Washington. June Is. 1916,
and by certain arrangements for the
joint occupation of said territory exist
ing between the Government of the
United States and the Government Of
Her Britanic Majesty;
Now therefore, it is hereby ordered
that all tracts or parcels of land included
in the said award be withheld from sale
or disposal of any nature. under pre-
emption, homestead. or other laws of
the United States. until after the claims
of the occupants aforementioned shall
have been adjrsted and public notice
thereof given.

In Texas and the Territories wherein
milk is scarce it may be interesting to
learn that NJ. Dubrufant, during the
seige of Paris, devised an artificial milk,
made by dissolving one ounce and a
half of sugar in a quart of water. ad-
ding one ounce of dry albumen (from
white of eggs) and Is to 80 grains OF
soda crystals, and then making an en-
ulsion with by means of from one ounce
and half 10 two ounces of olive oil.
Ultimately, as the war went on, gelatine
was substituted for slbulen, and ther

A great many years ago, before ice in
the summer season became a necessity,
but was just beginning to be housed up
and used III the large cities as luxury,
a good deacon from rural Connect
cut town, came to New York to cele-
brate the Fourth of July. 1t was his
misfortune to celebrate little too much
and he got intoxicated. News therefore
followed him home, and he WAS called
up before the Church for discipline.
| The deacon confessed his fault. He
said the day WAS hot, and he went into
a hotel bar-room where there was ii bowl
of punch, and the lemons and ice look
ed SO cool and inviting he drank some;
it tasted So good and the ice refreshed
him SO much that he took some more,
and finally he took SO much that he wis
ashamed tc say he became intoxicated.
He sat down. There Was moment s
hush, and then an angular brother at
the rear OF the meeting rose and said,
! I'm satisfied with the deacon's eXpla-
nation about his getting intoxicated. He
contesses it and says he's sorry. That's
ali right. Anybody's liable to do that.
But when the deacon comes into this

An AWFUL LONESOME MAN IN CALIFoR-
MA In the shanty which, in Califor-
MAS early days, did dduty for the bank
ing, postal, and express business Of
Wells, Fargo s Co., in Marysville, there
sat, one evening. misanthropic an de-
jected looking individaal, whose long
and unkempt hair and beard, cowhide
boots, and rough dress. bespoke the
miner. For over an hour, he sat there.
the picture of despair, with nos look
nor word for any one present. Miners
came, left their s'dust", took their coin
in return, and exchanged greetings with
all present. save the one morose man,
whose apathy, it seemed, nothing could
disturb. Finally, there entered young
miner, with beaming face, who. after
completing his business at the counter,
tlrnsd to the agent in charge, and re-
marked. that on the previous Saturday.
he ha some dealing with the bank, and
thought some mistake had been made
in his account.
'tGuess not, said the agent. "Our
cash wasAll right. and reckon We keep
our books Pretty strsight."
But, upon request of the miner that
the books should. be examined, the ac-
count was looked at, and 1t was found
that, through clerical error, the miner
Lad been paid just fifty dollars too
much.
That's just what I make it, said the
latteS, ''and here's your money. With
this he threw down the gold, and re-
ceiyed the thanks Of the agent.
While this conversation was in pro-
gress, the misanthropic miner had pre-
served his look of utter Indifference;
but when he saw the money actually
returned, his face frightened up. he rose
slowly, walked toward the miner with
slow and solemn step, and said:
''Young man, don't you feel awful
lonesome i'll this country"

There was great merit in the expla-
nation of the person who was found
going from neishbor's len-roost with
a plump rooster in his hat. "Gol-
ly," said he, that's queer-how d'you
s'pose he got there? Mnst have era wled
up my trowsers leg" It's a little re-
,markable though that this theory has
not suggested itself to some of the
gentlemen lately found with Credit
Mobiler stock on their hands. Itmighi
have crawled up their ;rowsers legs
and no doubt it did. That's easy now.

FRIGHTENED.-A man with rings in
his ears and tattooed like New Zeal
ander, introduced to us as Mr.. Nash,
the mail contractor, has intimated to US
amid shower of oaths and biliingsgafe
expletives, that if We say anything more
about HIM or his mail contract, he will
60 after US in II way We little dream of;
something terrible. it must be. Judging
from his manner and the style of his
address. As he is client of the Gov
ernor and is backed by the pardoning
power, there is no telling what may
happen to US if we again presume to
mention the fact that a Government
contractor for carrying the mails has
tailed to deliver the mails cording to
contract, to the great damage and detri-
ment OF the public interests. If our
readers see no further allusion to this
subject, they may conclude that we have
been killed or terribly frightened. In
the mean time We may say that tae

morning, and that Nash is rustlipe

Puget Sound to San Francisco

1t has been a matter of surprise to us,
that there has. heretofore, been no ef-
fort madefo establish steam communica-
tion with San Francisco by our business
men all over the Sound; bnt we are now
pleased to learn, that the movement is
IN foot, an1 soon an effort will be made
% organize a stock company among our
Merchants and business men generally,
for that purpose.
It is proposed, by the parties having
it inscharge, to issue $50 shares of Stock,
at 800 90 each, and upon the shares
being all taken, the holders thereof will
proceed to the election of their Presi-
dent, Vice President, Secretary, Treas
urer and Board of Directors, or, such
officers as they may deem necessary for
the successful conduct of the business.
Upon such organization, tie Secretary.
under directions from said Board Of Di-
rectors, will call il the stock, and issue
certificates therefor, pending which, the
officers of the Company will proceed to
-roeure Steamer suitable for the trade.
to be delivered to them III San Francis
co, upon which event, they will be pre-
pared to pay for the same and commence
operations.
Upon the Merchants themselves, will
depeDd the success of this enterprise.
1t is justly supposed. that all who take
an interest, will ship all freight that
may come to, or go from them, by their
own Vessel, at the moderate rates it is
proposed to establish, and thereby re-
ceive their goods from San Francisco in
from six to fifteen days from the time
they order them, instead of waiting, as
they are too often compelled, from 25
to 60 days, where they come by sail.
Already, some of our leading A1er
chants have signifed desire to pur-
chase iberally of the stock, and we
b. artily commend the enterprise that
prompts such an undertaking.
The matter has been often talked of,
but until now, no one has had energy
enongh TO commence operations.
+ We trust that every man i'll business
on the Sound, will come forward and
subscribe literally, and assure the sue
cess of an undertaking, the need of
which we have felt for long time.

LIE Down AND REsT.-Dr. Ball says
the best medicines in the world. more
fficient in the cure of disease, than all
the potencles of materia medica, are
warmth, rest. cleanliness and pure air.
Some persons make it virtue to brave
disease, to keep up" as long as they
can move foot or crook finger. and
it sometimes succeeds, but in others the
powers of life are thereby SO completely
exhausted that the system has lost all
ability to recuperate, and slow and ty-
phoid fever sets in and carries the pa
tient to a premature grave. Whenever
walking or work IS an effort, a warm
bed and cool room are the first indis-
pensible steps to a sure. and speedy re-
covery. Instinct leads all beasts and
birds to quletude and rest, and the very
moment disease or wounds assail the
system.
