Every year increases the populari-
tyof 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 perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
Or FADED HAZE to its youthful eolot,
making it soft, .lustrous, and sikea.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all erupti0ns
and dandruf; and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates 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
viii create q new growth, except IN :
extreme old age. It Is the most eco-
aomical HAIR DRRssNG ever used
as it requires fewer sppications,
and gives the hair 8 splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachuse says.
aThe constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPI-'
RATION for it's intended purposes

festival ut once novel and splendid. The proceed
ings began on Sunday, the 10th, with Pilgrim
age of strangers and natives to the Fountain OF
Vaucluse, with banquet In Petrarch's garden and
with distribution OF prizes to nity-four local
poets, winners OF prizes In public competition.
The peasantry who live around Avlgnon--a skinny,
tanned, but believing race-imagfned that all the
poets In Europe were going to be present, and 1t
was good to hear them brag proudly, as II Victor
Hugo. Tennyson and Longiellow had come to be
crowned by Count Dumain, the busy Mayor Of the
old Papal city. Not that the peasants have ever
heard Of Tennyson or Longfellow, or even Of VIC

length and breadth are greater than Ireland, its
actual area scarcely exceeds 10000 square miles

up out OF the sea, and after cooling or

rugged grandeur OF It's scenery. The clefts in the
enormous beds of once duid lava are OF the most
picturesque and startling description. Its rivers
are formed from the melting SHOWS of the noun
tains and are very numerous and beautiful. Their
waterfalls seem to keep the air in one continuous
hum OF dashing spray. The whole interior is but
one vast desert waste, for the most part 30 cle-

native land with the intention of entering
once more tbs political arena He will CO.
operate With the home rulers, but will advo-
cate complete separation from England. He
will place himself at the head of the advanced
party, who do not believe that home rule will
ever be granted except as the alternative OF a

party. He feels convinced that the British
government will not arrest him for his con-
nection with the '4S movement.

An American Sentenced to Death in
Cuba.

Cuba.
Mr.. Dockray, the American who surren-
dered himself to the Spanish authorities at
Puerto Principe on his return from the in
surgent liz es, has been sentenced to death.
He will not, however, be executed unless the
sentence should be approved by the Captain
General. So far as is known Mr.. Dockray
took no active part in the Instruction and
merely visited the insurgent camp in spirit
of adventure or from motives of curiosity.
His stay among the insurgents was very short,
as the mode of life in vogue among the Mann
bis has few attractions for the mere curiosity
hunter. We have hopes that the Captain
General will commute the severe sentence of
the court martial to some lighter punishment.
At most Mr.. Dockray has only been guilty of
indiscretion, and it would be barbarous act
to punish him with death. Too much blood
has already been shed in Cuba by the support
ers of Spanish authority. 1t would be we'll
for the credit of Spain that new order of
things should be established. If Mr. Dock
ray has been guilty of some breach of munich
pal law he can be adequately punished by fine
and imprisonment without having recourse
to the barbarous vengeance of the death
penalty. The present relations of America
and Spain are sufficiently unfriendly, and the
shedding of additional American blood would
be likely to exercise very unfavorable effect
on public opinion in this country. 1t is to be
hoped that the Captain General will see the
advantages to be gained by an exercise Of
leniency toward Mr. Dockray. His execution
can only satisfy the craving for blood of
contemplate faction in the Spa nish party,
but, on the other hand, it would excite the
horror of the civilized world. Spain cannot
just now afford to call up prejudices and
hatreds against her rule She has need of all
the forbearance that may be extended to her
by foreign nations.

| The President seems to have had what the
Scriptures call the ''sense of quickening" in
reference to South Carolina. We could not
believe that the manifold infamies heaped
upon that State as government could alto
| gether be overlooked. We find now that
Judge Mackey has had an interview with the
President, report of which is printed in
South Carolina newspaper. In the converse
ton as here reported Senator Robertson, hav-
ing referred to the course Judge Mackey has
lately pursued in bringing criminals to justice,
General Grant turned sharply to the latter
and asked, "Why don't you convict Moses?'
The Judge replied that he had not had an OPP
portunity of having the robber Governor
brought to justice. The President then re-
marked that he had heard that judge had
maintained that Moses could not be tried be-
fore impeachment, and denounced this propo-
sition that a President or Governor is above
the law as monstrous. He seemed much an
noyed with the condition Of affairs in South
Carolina, aud reproached Judge Mackey, for
the reason that 'every republican" is respon-
sible for the villany existing there. He en-
phatically declared that there must be true
reform this fall, or the republican party would
at once repudiate the so-called republicans OF
South Carolina. He also denounced the con-
duct of Moses in calling out the militia to defy
q process of the Court, and inquired as to what
posse the Court could raise to enforce its war
rants. He was informed that there were
enough honest men of sufficient courage to be
found to arrest any miscreant President
Grant then affirmed that the federal troops in
South Carolina were ''not there to enforce the
collection OF exorbitant taxes" and that he
wished this to be understood.
We are glad to see that the President shows
interest enough in a State so sorely harassed
as South Carolina as to express even the
moderate opinions here reported. We observe
tendency in the minds of Southern men like
Lamar and Southern journals like the Rich
mond Despatch to encourage this disposition
on the part of the President by suggestions
that they will support him for third term as
a refuge against the criminal ambition of the
colored men and their INSCRIPTIONS allies.
At the same time the Southern people will
have to show unusual magnanimity before they
can support Grant The President and his
party are alone to blame not only for what we
see in the Carolinas but for what is seen in
Louisiana, Alabama and other States To his
military genius we owe the suppression of the
rebellion From his political genius, sus-
tanned as he has been by the country as no
President has been sustained since Washing
ton, We have hoped for the reconstruction of
the South. Instead of reconstruction we have
chaos. If President Grant can enable us to
revive and rehabilitate the Southern States he
will add another to the many honors he has
achieved as soldier and as Chief Magistrate.

with the republican party. The South will
perpetrate as shortsighted blunder as it did
in secession if it favors the third term folly,
and this is evidently the feeling of the CON-
mittee.
If any fact strengthened this theory it
would be the circumstance that in the Con-
gressionai address there is no mention of the
President. SO, for the first time in the admin
istration of Grant, do we find the party arrayed
against him, or, more correctly perhaps,
in the attitude of ignoring him. Where
are all those pleasing, if sometimes
tawdry, compliments with which our
political writer's were wont to embel-
lish the Presidentp What has become
of Senator Howes rhetorical cunning? Is it
possible that any President, no matter how
strong and acquiescent in the beginning, must
in the course Of six years become the neglected
Cinderella of politics2 General Grant has
feared this, probably, and has made his peace
with the South. The question arises, and
this republican address in no way solves it,
SIS the President stronger than the party, or
lis the party stronger than the President"
