name of Beecher or that of Tilton again

more intense aud pronounced. New de-
velopements are coming to light daily.
The fact is, it is believed, that Mr.. Beech
er has lived life in total variance with
his professions that his amours have
been fearful in number, and quite as
fearful in character. Instances are COM
ing to light every day, and whether true
or false they are believed. Reports are
circulated concerning lady, who for
years, was his short hand amanuensis.
and it is stated, moreover, that the officers
of Plymouth Church knew of his infatua
ton for her, and attempted by force to
save him from pursuing the intrigue.
Ofcourse no one can say with accura.
cy as to whether there is any truth in all
this, but there is growing belief, that it
is true. And now Bowen of the Lnde
pendent, is being dragged in, and whC
will come next no one knows. 1t is to b.

arrived at, and that an end may be pu

SUMNER CHARITIES.

This terribly hot summer following on
the privations of the last hard winter has
added TO the s1fferings of the poor almost
beyond endurance. Days when the
thermometer marked 102 in the
shade, and there have been weeks Of such
weather since the first of June. the state
of things in down town streets and bank
ing tenement houses was appalling. If
the Board Of Health had not stirred up
the street cleaning department TO un-
wonted zeal early in the season, New
York would have been all most uninhabit-
able. As it was, the hot weather opened
on cleaner condition of things than the
noses of humanity have been able to
detect for years. 1t will be understood
that cleanliness is spoken ofOnly in rel
alive sense. When a citizen crosses
either ferry without having to mediate
exclusively on drainage and sewer-pipes
from the dock to Broadway, he congrat-
ulates himself on the good condition oi
the streets. The poor whose homes are
in these streets, however, might be dis
posed TO try conclusions with him Many
efforts are made by kind hearts to lessen
the sufferings of the torrid summer Ex-
cursions for the poor children, and for
their parents too, are not wanting. Hos
pitals in the country are fitted up to re-

Mr.. Beecher's friends ought to
understand that the case against him

vices from New York indicate that

II is noticeable that all the talk in the
South about "a war Of races" comes from
one side. It's the side that is particula 2
ly bent on waging just such war. The
natural antagonists Of the eolored men
have presistently prophesied chaos would
come when the ex-slaves got their "civil
rights" !" and now that there is no longer
any possibility OF relegating the freedmen
TO their former social position, they weep
and wall over the prospects of a war OF
races. These were the men who last
week were predicting that the elections in
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky
would end in bloodshed. They are
probably by this time astonished at their
own forbearance If there is really to be

IcELANDIC MILLENIAL CELEBRATION
This novel affair-the more so, perhaps,
because of the remote and out-of-the-way
locality-has attracted company of mis-
celIaneous spectators, and among them an
Ohio editor. Mr.. C. W. Field seems to
be the head OF the expedition, and the
company numbers seven, as follows-Mr
Field, Murat Halstead of the Cincinnati
Commercial. DR.. L 1. Hays, Mr.. Gladstone
son OF the x-Premier-Mr Halliburton
son of "Sam Slick"-ProE Magnessien
and DR.. Kneeland of Boston-five Amer
leans. one Englishman and one Icelander.
The craft used for this service is steam
yacht. OF $50 tons, commanded by Capt.
Haveland, mariner and gentleman, who
took upon himself the provisioning of the
voyage. a report of the progress of the
voyage is given under date of July 26-
Sunday-which says-"We arrived off
Thorsham, in the Farce Islands, yester-
day afternoon, all in good health and
spirits. The King Of Denmark reached
Thorsham few days before us, and will
sail for Iceland tomorrow afternoon. We
shall leave tomorrow morning, as we
wish 10 be in Iceland when the King ar
riyes. We are all delighted with what
we have seen. This morning, the church
at Thorsham was full of persons anxious
to hear sermon, and perhaps, some to

color, qcith the gloss and freshness Of
youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, 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 1t gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
tbe formation of dandruff, which IS
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
