THE biography of Chief Justice
Chase necessarily embraces, or is con-
nected with. much Of the history of the
country during nearly half Il century.
Judge Warden, with great good judg-
meDt, has permitted the subject of the
memoir to tell his own story, to great
extent. II is Mr. Chase that speaks to
Us III his letters and more elaborate
correspondence. These give us an in
sight into his private as well as his
public life; and not only this, but a re-
saD1e of the current events of the peri

Warden deserves the thanks, not only
of the numerous friends of Mr.. Chase,
but of the whole country. for the man

of the work. He has given us the great
statesman and jurist as he was, tran
script OF his life--essentially an autobi-

A Good Joke.
From our Bridgeport Correspondent

From our Bridgeport Corfespoh1eit'
Amongst the names that will he

on the field, fidelity to country and

were in hurried demand. The lord OF
the house dispatched his man-servant
with orders to tarry not by the way,
but bring the doctor who lived oppo-
site the Presbyterian Church. Now,
there is doctor lives nearly opposite
but Dad lives directly opposite-so,
chewing orders, he hastened away, and
called promptly at the prescribed
place. Being a stranger, he did as he
was told. A knock, and then another,

DEFEAT OF THE CURRENCY
~ - BILL

The Currency bill, reported by the
Conference Committee of both Houses,
which provides for unlimited banking
under the national bank act of June 80,
1864: for reduction of the lawful reserve
i'm circulation to five per cent. This
reserve now amounts TO about $40, ,000,-
600, and would be reduced to about
SIS, ,0000, 600. For maintaining the
greenback circulation at the present
limit of s3S2 100000. For reducing the
greenback circulation in future of the
rate of $37 80 for every 500 of addition
al national bank notes issued under
this bill, until the greenback circulation
is reduced to $500, ,OOO, ,OOO, when it shall
stop. For the eonvertibility after Janu-
ary 1, 1878, of all greenbacks into five,
four-and -a-half, or four per cent. bonds
at par-at the option of the Secretary
of the Treascry-as to rate CT interest,
the greenbacks so converted to be de-
stroyed, was passed on Friday by the
Senate, by vote of 80 TO %, but was
defeated in the House on Saturday by
a vote of 146 to los. An analysis of the
vote in the House reveals curious
-coutractionists and imitation
lists voted against the bill. A large
number who want an unlimited issue
of national bank notes, voted against
it because of the greenback feature
while other who have confidence in
greenbacks, voted may because of the
national bank feature. The hard
money men, of course, voted against
the proposition. There is not Demo-
cratic vote in the affirmative. Of the
one hundred and eight votes on that
side, but eighteen came from the sec
ton north of Maryland and east of the
Ohio river. New England voted solid
against it. Ten of the PennpyIvania
delegation voted in the affirmative. Oh
the the l46 negative votes, "a, or over
oue-half, are Democrats. The North
west furnished 5S of the affirmative
votes. The Senate granted new Con-
ference Committee out of courtesy to
the Senate. There seems, however,
to be no prospect of an agreement on q
bill. The Eastern members express
their willingness to part with fifty
millions of national bank currency to
the West. Congressman DANFoGD
voted nay on the bill, along with his
colleague, Gunckel and Lawrence,
Republicans, and Banning, Berry,
Jewett, Lamison, Neal, Saylor and
.Snuthsrd, Democrsts-the balance of
the Ohio members voting for the bill.

Wool Gatherings.

Wool sales opened in GAINESVILLE at 40
cents.
To Madison county the average prices
so far are 42@43 cents.
AS a general thing the clip is not
coming into market very rapidly.
The prevailing prices all through
Northern Ohio are 40@45 cents.
For many years, says the Toledo
Blade, the market has not been SO bare
Of tieeces as at present.
The wool clip of Richland county for
this year, if sold at 40 cents per pound,
will bring into the county slOO,OOO.
The general dullnessi in manufactures
has tendency to depress The market,
but many holders are hopeful of an I'M
proved condition of affairs.
The Xenia Gazette of June ID says ::
"Wool buyers in this region are pay
ing 40 to 43 cents per pound tor the
new clip. As high as 45 cents was paid
last week."
The California clip is large, and is
bringing good prices, and no interest
seems 10 be ina more prosperous condl-
tion on the Pacific coast than that of
wool growing.
Wool buyers are taking the markets

clipping season. We think that wool
will sell in Harrison County for at least
fifty cents before the season is over

But little wool is coming to town.
The farmers are asking from 40 to 80

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
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
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 of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
