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
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroycd, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimuli
lated into activity, SO that n new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent 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 forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for q 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.

Did Foster Take Poison {!

The statement, though contradicted,
is true, that Foster had poisoned him
self some hours before his execution, and
would have died of the poison had not
his sentence been summarily carried out.
At least | believe the story from all / can
hear. 1t is supposed the wife of the
murderer carried to him the fatal drug
Git was probably a preparation of NOR
phine) the last time she visited him that
he kept it until o'clock, expecting Il
reprieve up to that time then went to
his cell, swallowed the poison, and lay
down to what he supposed would prove
eternal oblivion. He slept by it's agency
until he was aroused and ordered to pre-
pare for the gallows. The time for the
execution had been fixed at II o'clock
he was hanged at 9:15 n. m. 1t would
seem that the attaches of the Tombs had
known of his intent to commit suicide,
and had winked at it. The Sheriff, how
ever, had no suspicion of the thing, and
did not learn Of it until $50. Then he
ordered his deputies to make all pos
sible haste, lest the scaffold might be
cheated of its victim and the result was,
that, at 900 n. M, Foster was dangling
at the end of the rope.
The murderer could have suffered very
little, if at all, either physically or men
tally. Those who witnessed the scene
say he was completely stupefied by the
drug, and had no conception Of what
was passing. 1t seems pity the unfor-
tunate man should not have been per-
mitted to die in his cell, instead of being
forced upon the gallows to make such a

A Hundred Tons Of Iron Tossed Four
Hundred Yards.

Doubtless there are many Charleston
ians who still remember the terrific de-
donations caused by the explosions of
the Confederate iron-clads Charleston
and Chicora, in Cooper river, opposite
Marshalls Wharf, at the evacuation of
Charleston in February, 1865. 1t has
always been a matter of surprise to the
wrecking fraternity that only n small
portion Of the wreck of the first-named
boat could be found in the vicinity of
the spot where she was anchored. Prof.
Maillefort, whose fame as wrecker is
so we'll known to the Charleston public,
has for q long time occupied himself
with the solution of this riddle.
A few weeks ago he accidentally OBJ
served strange ripping of the water
surface 450 yards, or more than quar-
ter of mile, eastward of the wreck OF
the vessel, and it at once occurred to
him that the phenomenon afforded q
clew to the mystery. Heaccordingly an
chored one Of his derricks above the
spot marked by the ripple, and an ex-
animation revealed lying upon the bot
tom of the river the iron sheathing of the
bow and one entire broadside of the YES
sci, constituting n mass of iron weigh
ing altogether 212, $50 pounds, or near
ly 100 tons. The whole broadside of the
battery, with the PORTFOLIOS, was intact.
That this immense mass of iron should
have been hurled through the air fol-
more than quarter of mile, affords o
startling illustration of the force of the
explosion. Charleston NeUs.

There is nothing more disheartening than nerv-
Gus debility. In extreme cases Of this class the
sufferers do not care whether they live or die. A
feeling Of hopelessness comes over them, and in
some instances, where the threatening symptoms
are not met by prompt and proper treatment, lun-
acy or idiocy ensues. Yet nervous debility is not
a dangerous complaint il wisely dealt with. A
medicated stimulant is the remedy needed and in
Hostetters Stomach Bitters this specific for the
complaint is presented in its purest and most po
tent form. Nervous disease is usually complicated
with other ailments. 1t frequently involves bill
iousness, constipation, irregularities Of the bow

the spring of the year, owing to the effect Of chill

A Fearful Story.

The following letter is from Thomas
Warren, of Union county, Ark, to j.
NJ. Courtney, of Clay county, Mo-, and
dated but few days ago:
81 will tell you now of horrible
murder that took place not far from
where i live. 1t happened about a
month ago. There were four negroes
concerned in it. married lady went
to neighbours house to stay few
days. She was not well when she left
home, and her husband told her that he
would take care of the children until.she
came back, but when she got to where
she was going there was no one ut home
but hired men, and she started back.
She had not gone far before a negro
stopped her horse, took her off the horse
and hitched it outside of the road, and
told her TO take the path before him,
and he drove and pushed and pulled her
eight miles into the bottom and tied her
to tree and ravished her. He kept her
there three days and nights tied to the
tree, and the second day while there she
had child in the woods by herself. She
was gone from home three days before
her husband went after her. He went
over to the house where she had started
to go, and when he found she was not
there, started back home, and found
her horse tied where the negro had left
it three days before. He took the horse
home and collected some men together,
and commenced hunting for her, and the
next day they saw two little negroes who
told them that they had seen negro
the day before driving white woman
down the path. They scattered out to
hunt for them, and got so close that the
negro went by where the woman was
tied, killed her with a stick, and then
left her. But they went on after him,
but got off his track.
"The negro stopped at home, and
asked negro man and boy if there was
anybody hunting for missing lady !;
they told him yes, and as he got up to
start they caught him and started back
with him, and met one of the men in
pursuit. They made him tell where the
woman was. He said he killed
her. Then they made him take them to
where she was He said they were in
sight of her the day before, when the
four times while tied and that she

he would not. They took the negro to
her husband, and asked him what they
must do with him. He told them to
burn him. The men who had him were
all negroes They built two log heaps,
and put him in the middle. They were
twenty-four hours burning him; they
cut his toes off and made him swallow
them, and then cut strips of skin off his
body and made him broil them on the
Goals and eat them and they would roll
him on the Goals and take him out and
talk to him and put him back, and at
last they built a large fire, put him on
the top of it and let him burn to ashes,
and that was the last of him. There
was not white man that had anything
to do with tall negroes. The other
three negroes that were killed were shot
dead on the spot They knew where the
woman was and would not tell.

New PROCESS FOR PRESERVING MEATS

According to the London Athen9un,,
Mr.. Marietta has lately been calling at
tention to new process for preserving
meat fresh. This consists in dipping
the fresh meat into melted butter, and
then packing it in salt. The examina-
ton of the specimens furnished by him
is said to have been quite satisfactory
but, in the opinion of the Athen0un,, il
does not differ essentially from that of
dipping the meat in parafline. which an
