HAIR VIGoR. In common with many others
we have felt lively interest in the investiga-
lions which DR. AVER has been making to
discover the causes of failure of the hair, and
to provide remedy His researches are said
to have been much more thorough and ex.
haustive than any ever made before. The re
suit is now before us under the name of AVER
HAIR VIGoR. We have given it trial, and
with full satisfaction. It equals our most
favorable anticipations. Our gray hairs have
disappeared, or resumed their original color );
and visible crop of soft, silkon hair has
started on a part of the scalp which was en-
tirely bald.-[Demo crat, Abingdon, Va

Decoration Day IN Bradford.


Bradford by appropriate ceremo
MES under the direction of Post
Washburn, No. II, G. A. R.
The back wardness of the season
did not permit the usual profusion
of floral offerings, and it also kept
many of the farming community al
home. The day was exceedingly
warm, which served to lessen the
number in attendance; notwith'
standing the number present at the
ceremonies was sufficient to indi'
cate that the people of this section
have an abiding interest in doing
honor to the memory of the defend
ers Of the nation.
The procession was formed in
Main st., at few minutes past II
o'clock, under direction of Col. r.
Farnham, in the following order:
Bradford Brass Band-Leader
r. E. Whitcomb; Post Washburn,
G. A. R.-under command of 1t.
J. w. Kelly; Bradford Guards
D. W. Cobb, Capt; Orator of the
Day; Clergymen, Invited Guests
and Citizens in carriages.
The procession marched to the
cemetery, nearly mile and half,
formed in a hollow square, and the
prescribed ceremonies by the Post
took place accompanied by dirge
by the Band; singing of America
by the assembly, under leadership
of Mr.. j. Tibbetts prayer by Rev.
L. Fl. Elliott, and then the Post pro-
ceeded, in q body, to each soldiers
grave and placed thereon the floral
decoration as a testimonial, that,
although they have persisted from
the earth, and their bodies h ave re.
turned unto dust. yet shall their
memory spring up afresh in the
hearts of coming generations, as
springeth up the flowers in the
spring.time, and the glorious deeds
which they wrought shall be held in
sacred remembrance, while our ma
ton has name.

Il tiefed some candy out of mud.
ders box. o Milly, dear! What
shall I dot"
"Did you eat it, honey I" asked
Milly, the truth beginning to dawn
upon her.
"No, it's hcre,' said Ned mourn.
fully thrusting his fat hand into his
pocket.
But alas the chubby hand came
out again q sticky mass Of sugar
and cream, tho candies having been
crushed in his sudden spring into
Milly's arms. Such doleful face
as looken up into Milly's then. Its
despalring expression went straight
to her heart.
''There, there, never mind, hon.
ey," she said, as the blue eyes filled
again, and the big tears began to
roll slo WY down the round cheeks.
'.rll put you on a clean dress, and
wash out that pocket, and we wont
say word about it." a.
For one moment the grieved eyes
looked doubtfully into the face of
loving but foolish old nurse then
the doubtful look changed to one of
certainty and determination, and
little Ned said veryslowly and grave
ly-
"Den I'd be q bladder tief dan l
was before. Pm dess going to wait
for mudder, and tell her all about it,"
and slipping down from Milly'sknee
he went to the window to watch
for his mother.
For an hour the flushed face,
with every now and then another
tear rolling quietly over it, was
pressed against the glass, "Wait-
ing for mudder," as Neddie said in
answer to all persuasions to so out
for play in the bright sunshine.
Lille, his two-year old sister, could
not understand his curious mood,
for she was used to having her mer
ry brother ready at any time for a
romp and frolic; but now when she
coaxed him to come out and play,
his only answer was few big tears
and a sobbing-"Pm waiting for
mudder" and to all Milly's persua-
sions he returned the same reply.
At last the carriage drove up the
avenue. Mother stepped out, and
in another moment he heard her
foot upon the stairs. She came in
to the room, and he turned slowly
from the window to meet her.
A little pocket turned inside out,
and covered with a mixture of sugar
and cream ; a fearful, penitent face,
and tremulous voice saying brok.
enly-"Muddcr, isn't welly hon
est little boy; Pm dess a naughty
tief"-greeted her as she came in.
Mrs. Chalmers caught his meaning
more quickly than Milly had done.
''Have you been eating mothers
candy, Neddie 2" she asked very
gravely.
"No, not eating 'em, only squash.
ed 'em but was going to eat 'em."
And the story was all told. How
he had at first struggled with the
temptation, and then been over
come. How at the very last he had
repented, only to find. to his dismay
that he could not restore the stolen
candy. Mother heard it all, with
the tear-stained face laid close upon
her breast; the sticky, chubby hands
clasping her own with all their lit
tie strength. And then she knelt
down. with her penitent boy beside
her, and thanked the dear Lord
Jesus that although he had yielded
to the temptation she could yet feel
that he was mothers honest little
boy.

spirituaIis,Ie Logic.

In yesterdays LEDGER it was stated
that the card of Major W. Il. Rhea and
DR.. Frank Rice on the subject of that
Gayoso House seance settled the mil
Ter manifestations To this expression
Mr. Watson announces in this morning s
Appeal: ri would Ike to ask the
LEDGER editor by what standard of logic
these seances we're settled. Two gem
tlemen say we detected her in it to our
entire satisfaction, yet there are hun
dreds of persons who declared her to be
a most remarkable medium for physical
manifestations" We are glad that Mr..
Watson uses the word logic, and we will
shine a syllogism at him. Two gentle
men state that they detected spiritual
istic fraud at a seance. Other gentle
men mot present at the time, but pres
ent at other seances) say they did not
detect any fraud; therefore, fraud was
not detected. This is bad logic; the
conclusion should be: therefore fraud
was detected. In murder trial several
witnesses state: 1--WE saw the murder
committed" Hundreds of persons can

not see the murder committed" and
therefore, according to the Watsonian
logic, the murderer should be acquitted.
Mr.. Watson believes in spiritualism;
we do not. He goes with those who say
they did not detect; we with those who
say they did detect. Hence it is why

Macbeth, saw some white phantom in
his seat at the table, and, unlike Mac

negro Councilmen. The comments that
were made by the white guests were not
very complimentary to our Head Cen

A white man residing on George street

trees have limbs hanging over the fence.
This man, armed with musket, sits in
his door and shoots at all men or chill

peach from the overhanging limbs. He
has already shot and wounded two per-
sons, and on Sunday last made another
attempt to murder by shooting at three
white gentlemen who from the sidewalk
picked an apple from bough. This
cheerful shootist has no legal right to
lie in wait for life and commit murder,

We want to say word or two, in all
seriousness, to our merchants, and ask
their attentive consideration thereto.
There in this city to-day hundreds, we
may say thousands, of honest white men
out of employment, who are thinking
about leaving the State to seek for labor
in localities where negroes are not so
numerous, and where white men have
more chances for earning livelihood.
The white people OF means in New Or
leans must not permit it to go out to the
world that they allowed their brothers to
leave the city to seek for bread for their
wives and children, when there are
thousands of negroes here who are
either sustained in idleness or paid good
salaries for light work. Gentlemen,
it may be, and there are many cases
in which we know it will be, a very
painful duty to part with old and
tried colored servants, but this is no
longer question of sentiment or of in
dividual feeling-it is a great and all
important struggle in which every white
man is, whether he recognizes the fact
or not, vitality interested it is struggle
for race supremacy in Louisiana, and
we cannot afford to lose it, OF. even to
risk failure for any affection or regard
we may feel for particular members of
the negro race. Let US say to them, we
have no enmity for you and yours, we
respect you for your past faithfulness
and we shall be glad to assist you in the
future, but your misguided and ignorant
brethren, urged on by bad and designing
carpet baggers, had determined upon
our utter ruin and subjugation, and
purely in self defense we are compelled
to do what we can for men of our own
color, who are at the point of starvation
by reason of the relentless and unspar-
ing warfare which your people have con-
stantly, for the last six or eight years,
waged against ours.
And so it is in Memphis, where hun
dreds of Radical negroes are supported
by white people, and are given employ
ment as porters, draymen, ETC., while
there are hundreds Of hardy white men
out of employment who would be glad to
secure their places. We are for the
white workingman, and not for the me-
groes who eat our bread and then vote
to put shackles upon us. Let every
merchant and storekeeper who has
porter or office man, every warehouse
man, every cotton press man, every
owner of floats and drays; in short, all
those who need labor, ponder these
things well, and remember that as they
decide, so will they decide the destiny
of Memphis.
