Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone, We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

Property and Money.

New countries, however rich in the
elements of wealth, are ever financial
ly poor. This comes necessarily from
the fact that all surplus capital is in
vested in property as starting point.
Pioneers pre-empt tract of land erect
houses, break up the sod, fence, buy
seed, and invest in necessary stock.
By that time the surplus is exhausted,
but is replaced by the means Of renew
al. With average crops, easy means
of transportation, good markets, and
especially good health, a few years re-
verses the process, and the money that
at first flowed out Of the country works
its way back again, or is represented
by more extensive investments and
large improvements.
All new communities are poor in
money, because during many years
what the population bring with them
takes the form of fixed property. I'm
provements completed, surplus ordi-
narily follows, as the older States
abundantly prove. But in financial al'
fairs u business man may be both rich
and bankrupt at the same time. 1t i:
not ability to pay, but payment that
preserves commercial credit. a per
son owning $4,000 in property anC
owing 500, is as much "broke' in {
panic or pinch, as if he possessed nc
means whatever. What is true Of III
dividuals is equally true Of govern,
ments Reducing everything t. mon
ey, which in this country is a mere
debt due the party holding it, gives il
great advantages over everything else
1t weighs and measures values with
out itself having any other bases than
public confidence. Tight times means
only that this particular thing is scarce
and not that everything else is plenty
All the office it performs is to adjust
balances, and when difficult to Obtain
business suffers, because its Operations
are clogged. Most of our farmers are
nearing point when they will hold ;
surplus of their own. At present it il
represented in broad acres and waving
crops--the solid wealth that alon,
makes and sustains every interest OF !
country. 1t is not worth while, there
fore, for one to be alarmed about ;
scant money market. If they vii
stop tinkering at Washington, it vii
soon regulate itself. What is wantet
is that it should have value bearing
some relation to the denomination

The New HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURES.
The Boston Post-our main reli-
ance for political intelligence-in
speaking of the late session of the New
Hampshire Legislature closes its arti
Gle with the following paragraph:
"The bill for regulating elections in
Portsmouth was most ably and per-
sistently advocated in the House by
Mr. Hatch, who exposed the gross i'm
positions and Tyranny of Federal Off
GERS in compelling the workmen at the
Navy Yard to vote such a ticket as
was ordered. From five hundred to
two thousand votes are manipulated in
this way from Washington, and they
can generally be relied on to decide the
contest in the State TO correct this,
it was proposed that none but white
ballots should be used, thus making it
impossible for the spies of the Admin
istration to "spot" recalcitrants and
punish them with removal. The high
ly colored ballot, always recognizable
from its back, was a device borrowed
from the Mare Island Navy Yard, in
California. Mr. Hatch pressed his as
sault ON the existing election abuse
with 50 much vigor that he forced ia
tai admissions from the few members
who yentured to apologize for it.
Though the distinct proposition of Mr..
Hatch was voted down by the peremp,
tory orders Of the Speaker, who took
the floor to oppose it, it was not done
until Il general election bill Of the same
plwport had been eXtolted as Il party
promise. and afterwards secured. The
Congressional Salary Dill was con-
denned by resolution, but the amend.
mcnt, which carried with it the cen
sure of the President, was refused out
of approximations for its effect upon
the party. A measure similar to thl
one passed by the Connecticut Legis
laturt, at the instance Of Mrs. Pack
ard, Of Illinois, in reference to Board
of Visitors for prisons and insane asy
lums. was defeated. A bill was intro
duced to prohibit circus visits by tho
imposition of penalty, in the form o
a tax, Of one thousand dollars; Will,
the equal solicitude manifested for tn,
public morals in the attempt to expe
from Office every Sheriff, Judge, anC
other incumbent appointed by Gov
Weston remains to be quoted as ;
shame even to the bigoted partisanshil
that conceived the scheme, though foil
ed in its execution.

Gen, Beauregard frankly defends
the movement for unifcation in Louis
lana, in an address to the people of the
State. All busy rumors Of his intlu-
ence being personated by some one
else bearing his name are therefore dis
armed. lie vindicates his position on
two very simple grounds: that the re,
demption of the State is impracticable
without such an effort at cooperation,
and that such cooperation can be Sc
cured on no other terms than those
proposed. The movement is based Oil
the existing constitution of the State.
1t involves only the maintenance OF
equal relations between both races of
citizens, distributing public confidence
and hopors according to desert alone,
and securing to each that freedom in
the exercise and enjoyment Of his
rights which is the possession guaran
teed by the constitution to all. 1t is
a new experiment in the locality where
it is fairly attempted, but Gen. Beau
regard demands for it fair trial
More than this, merely, he holds it tc
be the one certain method Of compel
ing the vampires now fastened upol
the substance of the State to relax
their hold, and forcing them to aban
don the places ofpower in which they
are able to despoil the people with i'm
punity, We do not believe that any
mere proposal to divide local Office
equally will work the reform which il
so much desired by the honest citizen:
of Louisiana but it is scarcely posi-
bic TO deny that the first necessity o
the case is to expel the present race 0
invading plunderers from the office
which give them all their advantage
1t is these, and the Administration
supporting them, who are the objec
of the Beauregard attack in order t.
remove the only obstacle to the com
plete uniilcation of the people Of Lou
isiana and their consequent prosperity
No such purpose, however, has an ex
istence in the mind of the Administra
ton at Washington.

The ADMINISTRATION ARRAIGNED.-
The Fourth of July celebration at Syr-
acuse, n. Y, was quite extensive, and
thousands from the surrounding towns
were present There was a civic and
military procession two miles long.
Mayor Wallace presided over the ex
ercises. The Hon. Gerritt Smith, the
venerable abOlitionist, who was an ac-
tive supporter Of Grant at the last
Presidential election, delivered the
principle address. He touched on the
Cuban question, arraigning the Admin
istration for its GOODNESS toward the
cause Of Cuban independence, while
allowing gunboats to be fitted out in
New York for Spanish use, Cnba by
maintaining successful resistance for
nearly five years, had earned the rec
ognition of belligerent rights. He
hoped that since the Government hest
tated the people would take up Cuba's
cause and force the Government to act.
The argument that Cuban patriots
have no ports was nothing; for oul
forefathers in the Revolutionary wal
were without ports, yet were recogniz-
ed as belligerents. At the conclusion
of his address the following was adopt.
