Nothing can restore the 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 3 new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with pasty sedi- ment, 1t 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 1t gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and iniu- rious to the hair. the Xigor can only benefit but not harm 1t.

Jefferson County.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: You seem to have
been troubled good deal of late by cores
pondents from Jefferson county. Your
benevolent hearts have been appealed to
in behalf of the interests of the occupants
and managers of our Poor House, by one
correspondent; another bewails the I'M
happy spiritual condition of the members
of the two great offshoots of Episcopacy in
our town of cambridge, and calls upon
you to mourn with him because thereof
another discusses the litigating propensity
of our people, and gives celebrity to GER
tain dog suit, in which a minister of the
gospel and an ex-Judge figure as parties.
and lastly one Alonzo Dante comes along
who with facile pen and language terse,
writes down great many things about us
and narrates the result of our dog suit, to
boot.
Now comes another Richmond in the
field. Methinks this array of special cor
respondents is enough to damp the ardor
and daunt the hearts of a less courageous
corps of newspaper managers.
Well, sat down to write you about the
excellent discourse which your esteemed
fellow townsman, Col. G.. w. Charlton.
delivered to the farmers of our county on
last Tuesday. 1t had been announced that
hewould, on that day, deliver an address
upon the subject of the Centennial &c,
but we found that a mistake had been
made, for, instead of making a fiorid
spread-eagle fourth of July speech, he
treated the farmers to plain, practical.
sensible talk upon farms and farming, Civ
ing to them much wholesome advice and
admonition, and many words of cheer and
encouragement. ......... .... ...
He made comparison of our East Ten
nessee with other sections of the Union.
and showed our many advantages, demon
strated the vast undeveloped capabilities of
our soil if properly titled; gave some sen
slble suggestions as to the mode of farm
ing that should be pursued in order to
make it profitable, dwelt upon the honor
ableness of the vocation, and urged upon
the fathers of the rising generation to in
still into the minds of their children a sem
tlment of pride in the calling and condi-
ton of farmers.
His expressions of disapprobation of and
contempt for the many young men who
are leaving the farm and dSpiring (?) to
the positions of clerks, merchants, physi-
clans, and lawyers, were highly apprecia-
ted by all. 1 am glad to see it announced
that he intends to make speeches of that
character in every county. His talks are
certainly calculated to do much good, and I
advise the farmers to turn out and give
him hearing wherever he goes.
Yours, &C.. RECTUs.

KnOXyilIe-The Outlook.

At no time during the last four years
have the prospects of our town been so
promising. Houses are going up all around
Business is active. Our wholesale trade
has never been so good. The streets are
full of people and wagons. The Cincin-
natl Railroad will almost certainly be
built, and most probably along such a Ii ne
as to be completed to this place long before
it is TO Chattanooga. In any event, it will
certainly connect with this place. No one
has yet dreamed OF the magical influence
its completion will have on business and
on the prices of property. The Macon
road is nearly q certainty. The Rabun
Gap road will soon pass into the hands of
a new company, on such terms as will en-
able 1t TO push it to completion. 1t is a
necessity to South Carolina, and the leads
ing men there are at work. Our iron es-
adjustments are charging their business
capacity and operations.
BY q generous effort, we can easily secure
the Methodist University, which will be
worth from two to five hundred thousand
dollars annually to us. In a word, while
there is no excitement, our town is going
forward rapidly, with splendid future.
Let each man do his duty and act with
some degree of liberality and regard for
his own good and Knoxville will soon
contain thirty thousand inhabitants. This
IS from one who has been for a long time
gloomy over our prospects.

Trees in cities as plsinrectants.

The New York Times, thinking that the
meteorologists are correct in assuming that
we are to have cycle of very hot sum
mers, calls attention to a certain sugges-
ton of an eminent sanitarian in the health
department, DR.. Stephen Smith, as to
measures during the coming summer
which shall prevent the fatal effects of the
expected heat. One of these is to eoualize
the temperature of the city and purify its
atmosphere by causing large number and
variety of shade trees to be set out in vari-
Gus streets and squares. The effect of trees
Is TO cool the temperature in summer and
soften the cold in winter.

it is presumed that the remains of Gen.

That the Modocs are utterly desperate and
will fight till their last man falls, and that
they will not leave the caves in the lava

have already made their escape and will
begin a relentless war upon all weak par
ties of whites they encounter.
1t is supposed that Scar-faced Charley

Jay Gould Reveals Erie Corruptiou.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Jay Gould an
peared before the Erie Investigation Conn
mittee. He was not aware that Tweed
was employed by the Erie Company as a
lawyeror that money was paid him; Barber
was engaged to go to Albany to guard
against hostile legislation; did not re-
coIlect that more money was paid
Barber during the session of the Legisla-
lure than other times. When shown
IWeeds vouchers Gould knew nothing
about them admitted that large sums
were spent to defray election expenses
money was applied in nearly every Sena-
torlal District in the State much was
charged on the books to legal expenses
that went for other purposes this he
called linda rubber fund.- Gould was
very cautious and but little definite infor-
nation was obtained.
The Storm i'm New York.
The storm to-day has been one of the
most severe of the year. During the morn
ing hail rain and snow fell at intervals,
while the wind blew in fitful gusts, the
tide was very high and at the ferries great
difficulty was experienced in getting heav-
lily laden trucks on and offthe boats. The
cellars along the western river front and
in South street were flooded and In some
instances valuable merchandise was dam
aged. A large fleet of vessels were detained
by the storm. 1t is not likely that any of
the European steamers will leave the port
until the weather nloderates.

OF 100 yards, put seven balls in q target II

relative to each other; and discharged

another simplified gun, embracing the
same principles, is to be made and taken
thither with this. We have not space to
give the details of construction, if it were
necessary. We speak of what we saw.
which is wonderful enough, and a credit
to the modest inventor thereof.

Fifteen Hundred Head of Live Stoel
Perish

a train which arrived at the East Lib
erty yards, in this city, on Sunday,
brought in over fifteen hundred head of
dead stock. OF twelve hundred hogs and
seven hundred cattle and sheep which left
Chicago alive, only very few were found
TO be living when the cars were opened.
The weather was cold when the train left
the West, and the animals were not only
packed in closely, but 10 provision was
made to properly supply them with water.
The sudden heat made this forgetfulness
fatal. The dead bodies were removed TO
the bone-hoiling establishments by hun
dred. The greater part of the stock was
owned by 3. Allerton, of Chicago.-Pi

bodies and cargo. Eleven bodies were re-
covered to-day, five of whom were gran
pied tonight. Two hundred and twenty
six bodies have been recovered. None of
those found recently were cabin passen-

SAD DEATH OF GEN, CANBY.

SAD DEATH OF GEN, CANDY.
rev men in the army possessed the con-
fidence of the American people in higher
degree than Gen. r. II. S. Candy, who met
his death at the hands of Modoc assassins,
as related in our dispatches published Sun
day morning. Gen. Candy was a native
of Kentucky, and was born about the
year 1917. He graduated at West
Point in 1889, and was appointed a
Second Lieutenant of Infantry. In
lS46 he was promoted to First Lieutenant.
and in lS47 became Assistant Adiutant
General, and was actively engaged in the
Mexican war. He distinguished himself
at Cerro Gordo, Contreras and Churubusco.
for which he waspromoted to Brevet Major.
For gallantry at the city of Mexico he was
promoted to Lieutenant Colonelcy. In
1851 he became Captain in the regular SER
vice and was promoted to Major of the
10th infantry in 1855. He served
with General Albert Sidney johnson in
the Utah expedition in 1S59-60, and for
time held command of Fort Bridger.
When the late war broke out he was in
New Mexico, and defended that territory
from the attacks of the Confederates, to
the entire satisfaction of his superior Of
ficers and of the Government. In May,
1861, he was promoted to full colonelcy
and i'll 1862 was made a Brigadier
General of volunteers. In 1862 he
was relieved from duty in New Mexico,
and at once assumed command of forces
actively engaged in the war then progress
ing. His operations were confined prin-
clpalIy TO Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississip-
pi,' Louisiana and Texas. He had COM
mand of the Department of the Gulf, and
participated with Farragut in the capture
of Mobile.
After the war he commanded in Viz
ginia, and carried cut the reconstruction
acts, having control of the civil as we'll as
the military administration until Virginia
was re-admitted. He discharged the deli
cate duties devolving upon him here, so as
TO command the respect of all. He was a
brave soldier, an efficient officer and q
heightened, cultivated gentleman. Before
the close of the war he rose to the rank of
a full Major General of volunteers. At
the time of his death he was Brigadier
General in the regular service as we'll as
BreYet Major General. He had the con-
fdence in the entire army, where he will
be much missed.
If General Candy had met his death in a
natural way, it would have served to rob
the countrys grief of a pang, but to have
been the victim of savage treachery, it is
almost unbearable, and calls for swift ven
geance. No more half way peace meas
ures need be tried with these savage |
dogs. They should be made to feel |
the strong arm of tie Government |
at once and be punished until |
there is no probability that they will re-
sumo their depredations. They are emit
tied to no further mercy, until they have
shown themselves worthy of it. This will |
be the verdict, and the execution
Of such verdict ought not to be delayed.
