For restoring to Gray Hair it's natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness of yoatth. 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- stroyed, 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 gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- ], cleanly and offensive. Free from those deletenous 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 HAIR DRESSING. nothing else can be found SO desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Closing Conservation Services Denied

from La Liberte, Dec. H.
Our readers will remember having read, In ono
OF our recent numbers, q despatch announcing
that all the Catholic churches in the Grand Duchy
OF POsen were closed on the 9Th Of December by
order OF the Prussan government We have
since received from our own correspondent fur
Their details on this subject, and which COM
pletes the Information, somewhat vague
as we then gave it. Within month
past Monsignor Ledochowski, Archbishop
Of Posen, addressed z circular letter TO all the
members Of his clergy. and which he ended by
ordering the celebration, on the 9Th inst. in all
the churches of the diocese, OF a solemn mass and
prayers that all would be placed under the protec-
ton of the Heart Of Jesus. He commented on the
Catholicism was subjected throughout the whole
OF Germany, declaring, BESIDES that the conflict be-
tween God ana Bellal had entered on phase OF
severity unknown up to the present time He
protested in the most indignant terms against the
violence done to the conscience and legitimate
liberties OF the Catholics as citizens and fathers OF
families.
The Prussan government threatened to take
severe measures against this, which it designated
as the beginning Of sediton. At Poser ana
K8ngsberg the priests were forbidden to follow the
prescriptions Of the Archbishop The directors and
professors OF the Gymnasium and OF the Seminary
have been held responsible, the first for having
permitted the reading Of the circular and tho
others for having attempted to obey It, The clergy
OF these institutions, seeing the tmpossibility OF
conforming to the desires OF Mgr. Led0chowskf,
gave orders to their followers to go through with
the usual religious exercises only IN their respec-
tive parish churches.
Then the government forbade the above named
directors to send their followers into the churches
where the conservation to the Heart OIL Jesus was
to have taken place. Nevertheless, the Catholic
population, without allowing themselves 70 be IN
Inundated by the threats OF she authorities who
had not yet received precise Instructions c0ngre-
gated in great numbers at the churches But on
this same day December 81, important dispatches
were received by the various local authorities

claims nor prayers Of the clergy and Catholic
population. All the churches must be firmly closed

ment had hoped, doubtless, that the Indignation OF
the Catholics would give rise to acts Of repression
and disorder but the Polish people received she
news with the greatest camness. The proscrip-
tons of the government were everywhere received
with silence and resignation; but the words Of the
Archbishop had received their complete concur
renee and conformation.
