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-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be

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

ton of dandruff, which is often so un.
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 u HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.

TO BE Or NOT TO BE-.

The New York Herald has com
mended itself afresh to popular
ridicul0 during the last few weeks
by Its treatment of the currency
question. The following, clipped
from one of its recent leading ed
itorials, is a fair sample of the
style in which it has been attempt
ing to ''infiuence legislation"
mo people can ever consent 10
be absorbed absolutely by a neigh
boring people whose economical
conditions require totally differ
ent life and different laws; and
least of all will the people of the
thirteen States who gained their
freedom from England in their in
fancy consent to become q mere
fringe on the garment of semi-bar-
barous empire occupying the Mis-
sissippi valley. Yet that is what
the Atlantic States must become
if the legislation now begun in
Congress is followed to its legiti-
mate consequences. In the vote
on the four hundred million bill
there is a sound of the tramp of
armed men; and there are all the
noises of war together in the leg
islation which the west still pro-
pose to force on the nation"
We suppose that Mondays vote
in the senate will bring an open
and formal declaration of war
from this sanguinary newspaper.
1t is reasonable to presume, also,
that those EARNED men" are ready
to tramp at a moments notice,
with haversacks full of cooked
rations, and forty rounds of am
munition in their cartridge boxes,
and the flag of the Herald float
ing DER them" Itwould be sheer
madness to suppose that the free
and independent Milesian hOd-
carries, saloOn-keepers and shout
der hitters who make up the bulk
of the Herald's constituency will
tamely submit to be absorbed"
by the farmers and mechanics of
the semi-barbarous empire occu-
plying the Mississippi valley"
And have they not fought with
Tweed, and had Reddy the Black
smith to lead them in many a
mortal fray? Think you such
men will stand idly by and see the
Five Point made ga mere fringe
on the garment of q section
of country which raises corn and
hogs, and allows grangers to run
at large? Not much. Think you
they are going to quietly permit
a lot of barbarians to tamper with
the currency of this great and
glorious country? No, sir, not
while they remember their heroic
burning of those colorcd orphan
asylums during the rebellion, and
have a Herald to proclaim their
wrongs and point out the way to
preserve their rights, their liber-
ties and their sacred honor.
1t will surprise the Herald, no
doubt, to hear that there are no
preparations for war-no mould
ing of bullets, and drilling of re-
cruits, and rushing to fortresses
and trenches-out here in the
''semi-barbarious empire occupy
ing the Mississippi valley" but
really such is the solemn truth.
And furthermore, strange as it
may seem over on the coast of the
Atlantic, the opinion prevails very
generally in this latitude that the
Herald is making itself irresistibly
absurd. But then the war will go
on all the same, we suppose.-The
Commonwealth.

POPE PIUs As A TgMrtRANcE NAN.

The following letter was written
by the Holy Father, the venerable
Pope Plus TX, to the Msssachu-
sets Catholic Temperance Union :
Belored Children, Health and
apostolic BenedictiOn:
We have heard. beloved chill
dren, with great joy, not only that
your State Union had met in Con-
ventlon, but that your sister Un-
ions also had taken counsel to-
gether as to the most effectual
means of preventing the evils that
flow from intemperance. Drunk
enness, it is certain, fosters and
stimulates every species of strife
and wickedness, as the inspired
word teaches. "Wine is a luxuri
Gus thing, and drunkenness riot
GUS" Wherefore st. Augustine
writes: Drunkenness is the
mother of crime, the root of vice,
the wreck of charity, the spring
of evil, the overthrow of reason,
the ruin of the body, and a loath-
some disease of the soul."'
By drunkenness, therefore, NOR
atty is vitiated, a neglect and
contempt of divine things is grad
ually supennduced, and when
these pillars of social order are
shaken, public tranquility is jeop-
ardized, the family is reduced to
want, and its members torn asun-
der. At last health gives way;
for he who loves wine and feast
ing will be poor, and they who
give themselves to drinking will
be consumed.
In your zeal, consequently, to
abolish this disreputable and pro
miscuous custom, you not only
struggle against one vice, but, in
your efforts to stem the number
less evils flowing from this source,
you also advance the interests of
your religion, promote the well
fare of your fellow men, and the
prosperity of your country. And
should you, with Gods grace,
prosecute the movement to sue |
cess, you will call down manifold
blessings on your own people; for
the same st. Augustine observes,
"Sobriety is the mother of virtue"
Il e = :: =
1t puts to fight sin and shame,
shuns the danger, is faithful to |
duty, and rules over the home and
the family with care and modera-
ton.
We exhort you, therefore, for
the true welfare of your country,
vigorously urge on the total absti-
naScc movement under the guild |
ance of Church. Thus will you,
beyond all contradiction, deserve
well of God, of the Church, and |
Of our fellow-men. We most cor
daily wish you the largest meas
ure of success and the happiest !
results to your labors, in token
thereof, and as q pledge of our pa
ternal tenderness, we most loving
ly impart to you, beloved children,
and to all those who will engage |
in the same work with you, the
apostolic benediction.
Given at st. Peters, Rome, the
4th day of December, 1873, TWEEN
ty-eighth year of our pontificate.

BEECHER AND TILToN.-The late
council has sprung the Beecher
scandal upon the public again, and
Mr.. Sherman, who was one of
Jim Fisk's lawyers, makes some
strange statements regarding it.
He said In substance to a reporter
who recently interviewed him that
so far as Tilton was concerned, he
was out of his mind, off his bal
ance, and did not act reasona bly,.
As for Mrs. Tilton she had oc-
casioned the whole trouble, while
in a halt-crazed condition. She
had mediumistic fits, and while
under the strange power that pos
sessed her often spoke of the most
incredible things, declared things
possible that were impossible, and
among the rest had slandered Mr..
Beecher. Mr.. Tilton himself had
acknowledged that all the 9th,
er things she had told him in heI
mediumistic frances were false and
impossible; then why should the
scandal on Mr.. Beecher be the on
ly truth in her crazy words
DR.. Storrs was undoubtedly jealous
of Mr.. Beecher, and was deter.
mined to break down his growing
reputation; that his speech shovel
his jealous, spiteful feeling con
clusively. But DR.. Storrs was :
ruined man in his action in thi
matter,

CUBA.

A letter from Havana says that
on the 18th of March Captain
General Jovellar took precaution-
airy measures for protecting the
exchange office. Rumors of man
ifestations to be made against
those institutions were afioat.
Word was sent to the Spanish
Admiral to have the marines in
readiness for landing at a mo-
ment's notice. Howitzers were
mounted in the bows of the laun-
ches of the Spanish man-of- war
ready to be landed. Several
groups of men were quietly dis
posed of in the same way.
The letter says the accounts
obtainable of the battle of Qua
sianis show it was one of the
hardest contested fights that has
taken place between the insur-
gents and Spaniards. Of the
wounded brought to Havana,
most all received their injuries by
the machete. They report that
they were over two hours fighting
at close quarters. Brigadier
Arminsan, with about 5000 men,
cavalry infantry and artillery, be-
coming aware of the massing of
the insurgents, under Maxima
Gomez, marched forward, and, on
the 18th, encountered them in
force. An attack was Immediate
ly begun by the Cubans, so that
Arminian had barely time to form
a square, placing his artillery in
the center, the cavalry being or
dered to cut its way through the
enemy's lines and procure rein
forcements at Puerto Principe.
The cavelry was fearfuily cut up,
very few being left to bring the
news of the critical position of
the Spanish column. These sue
ceeded in reaching Puerto Prin
cipe, their puTs1ers close at their
heels. Brigadier Bascones, with
a column of 1000, started out
but had hardly gone beyond the
suburbs of Puerto Principe before
he was attacked by the Cubans
Bascones succeeded in pushing
on, and had another severe en-
counter with the insurgents, final
~ uniting his column with that o
Arminian. The loss of the Span
iards must have been very severe
and it is reported that over forty
officers were killed and wounded
Both sides fought with grea
bravery.

TRIMMING OF FRUIT. TREES.

Twenty years ago l went into
my orchard to ascertain if posi-
BILE the best time to trim fruit
trees, having regard to the heal.
ing of the wounds made. 1 com
menced with the month of April,
amputated number of limbs,
watched carefully the wounds
made, and the time the wounds
commenced to heal. In this way
1 wentkthrough the twelve months
of the year, and after a close ex-
animation for one year after the
work was done, l came to the con-
clusion that from the twentieth of
May to the twentieth of June was
the best time.
The reason is, the wounds made
then healed over in the shortest
time and in the best manner.
The two poorest months for heal
ing are the months of February
and March. When the wounds is
made in the fore part of June Of
the tree is healthy it will com
mence to heal within one week
from the time it was made; but if
in February or March, the wound
made becomes hard and dry, and
sometimes there is liquid which
comes from the wound and turns
black as it runs down the tree.
If the trimming could not be done
in the best tine, l would next
prefer the month of October, or
November. But the best place to
trim one-half of the trees is close
to the ground, as more than one.
half of the fruit trees that have
been set out for the last twenty
five years have been lost for the
want of manure. Never set out a
tree unless yOu intend to take
care of it.

ways to expand the chest, is to
