Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to it's high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to itsyouthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
and, by it's tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates 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 new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and 1
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION

The latest Geographic reports give the re-
vised and complete returns of the election
in Connecticut on the 9th inst, as follows:
The total vote was 91,671, of which Har-
rison, Republican, received 4O,O42; Inger-
ssoll, Democrat, 46,7s4; Smith, Prohibition,
1926; scattering, ~. Ingersolrs plurality
6742, and majority over all 1897.
Harrison was one of the most popular men
in the Radical ranks, and was put forward
az a candidate for Governor on that account.
Col. Ingersoll, who has held the Office for
two terms, is scion Of an illustrous stock,
whose representatives have been prominent
in the State as far back as the old revo-
lutiOnary times of 76. His grandfather
was the last British Governor of the
colony, and his father, Hon. Ralph In
gersoll, occupied the position of United
States Senator for two terms, and
was Minister to Russia under the Admins
tration of President Polk. The Ingersoll
family have always been Conservatives in
politics, and the present Governor fully and
nobly sustains the reputation of his ANGER
tors.

CITY NOTES.

The work on the Esplanade Street Rail
road is progressing slowly, the rains having
interfered with the work for several days.
Among the novelties at the Academy of
Music one night last week were Chinese
couple, both attired in the height of civil
lied fashion, and seemingly taking great
interest in the performance, which, how
ever, at times, they did not appear to
thoroughly understand.
The st. John Clubs boat house, at the
bayou, is in course Of being extended and
enlarged. The Pelican Club boat house has
also undergone some interior improvements,
and the roof has been raised several feet.
Perfect harmony does not seem to exist
among the gambling fraternity, judging
from inquiries that have been addressed to
us. The matter will bear investigation and
may turn ont to contain some racy develop
ments.
1t is generally understood that Col Geo.
w. Carter, late Speaker of the House of
Representatives, contemplates writing an
autobiography. The work will be songht
for with avidity, and read with more than
ordinary interest. Col. Carter was origin

Methodist preacher, and subst quently
Colonel in the Confederate army, Republi-
can Speaker Of the House, and then-but
we forbear; the book will speak for itself.

OBITUARY..

DR.. Finlay is dead. This announce
ment cast gloom and sorrow over large
portion of our citizens.
| As a merchant and gentleman OF educa-
| ton and refinement, he was well known and
esteemed but it was by the poor and suffer
| ing that he was really beloved. We can say
! with truth, that the groan of the widow,
the tears of the orphan and the heartfelt
sorrow of hundreds, who were kept from
restitution by his bounty, followed him to
the grave. He may not have left his name
craven on marble or granite, but 1T is deep
" imprinted on the grateful hearts OF hum
dreds who were the recipients of his charity.
When the Saviour of mankind shall come
to make up his Jewels, DR.. Finlay will have
conspicuous place at his right hand.
81 was hungry, and ye gave me meat
thirsty, and We gave me drink, will be SAID
by hosts who will bear witness for him on
that dread da- when the secrets of all hearts
will be disclosed. He may not have been
member of any visible church; his was that
"true and undefiled religion" before God,
which consists of taking care of Gods sui
fering creatures. He did not blazon forth
his good deeds to gain the praise OF men,
and verify l say unto you he has his re.
ward. by their fruits We shall know them"
1t was only to few that his acts OF kind
ness and charity to the poor were known,
as he shrank from anything like notoriety.
Many good Christmas dinner has been
eaten by poor families who never knew their
benefactor, and many poor children's hearts
have been gladdened by the reception OF
toys left by "Santa Claus" little dreaming
who was the good, kind angel who felt for
them. These actions he called his
% whims," and were he now living
he would not be pleased that they should
be known; but such men are too few
and such actions too uncommon to allow
them to pass unnoticed, and it is only JUS
tice to his memory and to his relatives to
say that truly good man is gone. His fam
lily may justly be proud of him, not because
he built up fortune but that his virtues
have made their name honored, beloved and
respected He was indeed beloved. respected
and without foe. If prayers can avail be-
fore the Throne of God, thousands are being
offered for him, by grateful and sorrowing |
hearts. May he rest in peace, and may his
be cherished, and his goodness lml-
tated by those who have the power to walk |
in his footsteps.
One who knew and valued him. A.

BEN BUTLER.

On the 18th of next November he will be
fifty-six years old. He has never been sick.
His constitution has been like iron He has
worked for ten years as few men ever work,
even in this busiest of lands. His favorite
saying has been that when he retired at
night, unless he was asleep in five minutes,
he thought something was the matter. He
has enjoyed absolute, uninterrupted health,
and has reveled in it. But there must
be an end to all things, aud especially to
overworked men. Butler has grown
obese, and, theoretically, apoplectic. His
political fights begin to tell on him.
But with his immense interests on his hands
there is no release from the tread-mll-no
relaxation. His affairs are as inexorable as
those of an Emperor. Some day his life will
go out like the light of hastily snuffed
candle.-Boston Herald.
We hope the crowd will stand out of the
draught and let the wind have full play on
that candle. Let her 60 out-the people of
the United States are willing. When that
sweet little innocent life of Ben Buffers
wants to Ego out like the light of hastily
snuffed candle" let her 60, and hurry it up.

Galveston Wants the Services OF Gen
Beauregard.

The Council of Galveston is DESTROYS OF
changing ard perfecting the grade Of the

engineer to take charge of the job. The

We have heard it reported that Gen. G..
I. Beauregard, an engineer whose abilities
are admitted in Europe, as well as America,
and whose works around Charleston bear
testimony Of his engineering skill, can be
sulting engineer for Galveston. If this be
true, we trust that his services may be pro-
cured, as money expended in this manner is
one OF the best investments the city can
make

from Office.

said on the subject, and we learn that where
as the very word "impeachment was suffi-
cient to frighten the Vicegerent and destroy
his digestion for week, he has now gotten
bravely over such unmanly fears, and is de-
termined in the event of his impeachment,
which even he has come to regard as eX-
tremcly probable, to employ the best legal
talent in the United States to defend him.
