Every year increases the popu-
laIity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishss
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 applica-
tons, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and | consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

OUR RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

The railroad prospects which seemed
to brighten up little few weeks ago,
seem again to be engulfed In covering
Of clouds which the most far-seeing eye
fails to penetrate. As most of the read
ers of the TRIBUNE are aware, the COM
pletion in the near future of the Jack
son, Lansing and Saginaw railroad is
largely dependent upon the building of
the Mackinaw and Marquette railroad, in
aid of which large land grant was ap-
propriated by our last Legislature. Inn
mediately after the adjournment of the
Legislature, there seemed to be an imme-
date prospect that some company would
take hold of building the road and secure
the large grant. Indeed, company did
accept the terms, but so far have failed to
file their bonds to complete the same as
required by the law. The time set by
the Legislature in which this should be
done, having passed, the Board of Con-
troll extended it until September, and at
It's last session OIL the 10Th ult.. the time
for the acceptance was still further ex-
tended until the first Of next January.
While in Lansing last week, the manager
of the TRIBUNE conversed with several
gentlemen who are well posted in rail-
road matters, and the information de-
rived was that there seemed to be no
prospect that any company would take
hold of the road during the present de-
preston in business matters. 1t also
seemed to be the opinion of those best
informed, that the Jackson, lansing and
Saginaw road would be pushed no furth-
er until there was a more definite pros
pect of northern connections. Thus our
prospects for railroad seem to be ex-
ceedingly slim just at present. That the
road will come eventually, we have no
doubt, but not until railroad investments
pay better than they do at present. Men
will not put their money where they see
no prospect of some returns soon.
The only thing left for Cheboygan to
do is to make the most of her present
advantages, enough of which there are
to make much larger and more impor-
tant town without railroad, than most
places with one. 1t is another reason
why the projected Improvement of our
inland navigation should be pushed for
ward with energy, leaving no stone un-
turned until navigation is opened. This
will do more for the development of the
the country than railroad, if it does not
quite as much for the village; but what
deve3cpes and improves the country will
add to the growth arfd prosperity of this
place, There is no cause for discourage
ment, however, the railroad will surely
come sometime.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1875.
THE INLAND NAVIGATION.

The Importance of securing the open
ing of navigation into Burt and Crooked
Lakes cannot be too highly estimated by
the residents of this village or by the
country surrounding those lakes. That
the importance of the work is appreci-
ated by the last mentioned individuals
we have no doubt. The editor of this
paper during the last week conversed
with many of them, and found that they
were posted regarding the efforts which
were being made to secure this improve
ment and that they keenly felt the ne
cessity for it. As has been stated many
times before in the TRIBUNE, much of the
very choicest farming lands in the state
are in the immediate vicinity of these
lakes. Their merits have become known
and many homesteads located upon them,
and much Of the balance bought by par
ties wishing to improve them at some flu
ture time when communication with the
outer world becomes more convenient.
There are also large quantity of these
lands yet in the hands of the state.
Many settlers have moved upon
these lands in the expectation that i'm
year or two at farthest railroad would
come near to them and assist i'm settling
and developing the country. In this
they seem to be doomed to disappOint-
ment. AT the present time a day does
not pass but that brings additional set
tiers into that country. Their great hope
now is, the contemplated improvement
of the navigation of these lakes. We
were told by settlers near the limits of
Crooked Lake, who know by experience
the wants Of the country as no one who
does not suffer the privations of pio-
neer life can know, that no project
ever before canvassed augurs 80
much for the good of the whole country
as this. These men predict also that this
work completed, there would be tide of
emigration Immediately set i'm toward
this section of the state, by men who al
ready know and appreciate its worth, but
who are held back from settling here be-
cause of the want of facilities for COM
munications with the outer world.
There are also many others who would
be glad to avail themselves of the adj
vantages to be had here were it not for
this great Inconvenience. We conf
IDENTIFY predict, from the information
gained by careful investigation of this
matter, that this country would, with
this improvement, develop more in two
years than it would in five without it.
In our own opinion the ratio would be
much greater, but we make it two to five
to be sure that it is not too high.
Could all our citizens see these parties
whose interests are so vitality at stake in
this matter, and know their necessities as
we have seen them, we know they would
redouble their efforts in its behalf. If
all the Board of Control who have it in
t ti6h I8f an appropriation Of swamp land
to aid this project, could go through this
country, visit these men i'm their homes,
see the Importance and necessities of the
proposed route, we know that there
would be unanimous vote in its favor,
and that they themselves would con-
slider it the best expenditure they ever
made.

HARBOR MATTERS.

The improvements upon our harbor
seem to be approaching completion. For
the small appropriation given us last
year large amount of work has been
done. Although it will take several ap-
preparations of the same size to COM
plete the channel the width Of the sur
vey-two hundred feet-it is now wide
enough and deep enough to admit of the
passage of vessels drawing from twelve
to thirteen feet of water. The trouble
that is now keeping the larger class OF
vessels from stopping here is the lack of
depth of water at the docks. This, how
ever, will be remenied before another
year, and might have been this year had
it not been for dispute in the title Of
Hurd's dock. Whether this is settled or
not another dock will be in readiness for
business next year, and then whoever
holds the title to this property will either
lose the business or secure channel that
will admit of the landing of the deeper
draught vessels. 1t is to be regretted
that this could not have been accom-
plished this season, for it would have
added much to the business of the place.
However. these things will take care
of themselves; little of good can be ac-
complished in this so late i'm the season
There are, however, matters i'm this con-
nection which should demand the atten-
ton of our citizens, matters in connection
with future appropriations. Already it
has been conclusively shown that for the
accommodations of vessels there should
be pier built out on one side of the
channel. This was not included in the
original plan. Measures should soon be
taken to call the attention of the proper
authorities to this matter, and in such a
manner as will secure an appropriation
at the coming session of Congress, so
that the work can be commenced next
season. The work already completed
upon the original plan is in such state
of forwardness that if it should be de-
clded that pier be necessary, economy
in doing the work would suggest that it
90 forward ut the same time with the
completion of the balance of the work
on the channel. However necessary and
important this work may seem to those
who are familiar with the situation of
affairs, it cannot be obtained without an
effort on the part of our citizens. Those
who are unacquainted with the facts of
the case must be made acquainted with
organized and concentrated effort.
If anything is to be accomplished
this season it is time that some action be
taken.

SOME people are far more depraved
than others. An account of ssMargar ct,
the mother of criminals" was published
last year, and further investigations have
only established what was first inferred.
Mr.. Dugdale, a member of the New
York prison association, has traced up
particulars, and has found 700 descendants
of Margaret whose fortunes are clearly
known, and that half of them have been
convicted by the courts of crime. For
six generations the families have been
living in sparsely settled, barren districts
in Ulster county, and get their livelihood
mostly by stealing. The kinds of crime
to which they are mostly addicted are
prostitution on the part Of the females,
and theft and violence by the males.
They live together as savages, without
any knowledge of purity or modesty, and
in the utmost poverty and misery. The
natural law of inherited tendencies has
been plainly enough demonstrated for
many years, but the striking instance
before us ought to be made the occasion
of additional practical lessons by our civ
il authorities.
MOODY AND SANKEY have entered
into an arrangement with the Y. M. G..
A. of New York by which they are to
commence their revival labors in America
at Barnum's hippodrome in that city, a
structure that will accommodate $4,000
people. The evangelists could hardly
have selected point where their SER
vices are more sadly needed. The re-
| ligiOus interests of New York are i'm a
bad way. Numerous church enterprises
are failing for want of financial support,
the gospel is not preached to the poor,
and religion has become so expensive a
luxury that few indulge in it. Churches
costing million dollars are built OH the
most fashionable avenues-while 10000
poor people within the city limits are
furnishing for bread. If Moody and
Sankey can purge the church members

righteousness they will have accom-
plished some good even should they fail
to bring on the expected revival among
the protesting classes.
IMMIGRATION from England to this
country has greatly fallen off. The re-
turns prepared at Liverpool are complete
to the end of August, and for that month
they show reduction of 6,124, while the
total diminution of the year amounts to
no less than 26,S70. A falling off to this
large extent, steady as it has been through
long series of months, cannot be eX-
planned except on some grounds that are
of enduring and fundamental character.
The New York Times says the cause lies
notso much III the stagnation of business
in America as in the better condition of
things in the old country, and that if we
wish to induce immigration, we must
better the condition of our currency and

d. B. BRIGGS, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, has lately issued a
circular to all the township superinten-
dents in the state, interpreting the law
and guiding them in their duty. To
them are intrusted in a great measure
the SUGGEST of the schools. They should
advance their own qualifications for their
work by communicating with other su-
perintendents through county organiza-
ton, and consultation with experienced
men. They should examine in public
the applicants for teachers certificates,
and make their examinations both oral
and written, and sufficiently full and
critical. They should exercise their own
judgement as to the proper age of teach
ers, and allow no teacher to commence
school without license. United States
history and. civil government should be
taught in every school; and while every
teacher should be able and willing to
teach all the branche required by the To-
cal boards, first-grade certificates should
not be withheld from applicants merely
because they may not be acquainted with
the higher branches. AS the law now
reads, an Endorsement of certificate
given by another superintendent is not
valid. Vacancies in township board
are to be filled by the board itself.
Teachers should be required to render
full reports, as required by law and by
the department. While the duties of the
township superintendent are many,
those of the inspector, still exist and are
as imperative.
