gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by It's use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
strcyed, or the glands atropkied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a~new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fculing the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional uso will prevent tie hair
from turning gray or falling off, 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 I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
ueieteyious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and in;u-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If want3
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and vet lasts
long OF the hair, giving it rich, glossy
hstre, and a grateful perfume.

on field crops awarded to c. M. Case
and Mr.. Wood q premium of SO to
one and IS to the other for the best
and second best acre Of corn. Mr..
Case says he raised 1114 bushels of
corn on one acre of ground the re.
port does not state whether it is liz
bushels Of shelled corn, or SO many
bushels of ears. If it means 11l1
bushels of shelled corn, l say it never
greec on one acre ofgrom'0; that would
be % and three -tenths OTIS, Of shelled
corn to one square rod of ground.
Mr.. Taylor of Hartland says he
raised 92I bushels of oats on one acre
of ground-that would be IS! qts. to
q square rod of ground.
am of the opinion that there is not
an acre of ground in Windsor County
snelIed corn, or yield 92! bushels of
common oats-as farmers generally
raise.
The report does not say that the
committee measured the ground and
harvested the corn. Please inform

The President is reported as say

The President is reported as say
ing that he regards Arkansas the key
to the solution of all the Southern il
Irregularities, and undoubtedly he is
right so far as he is personally inter
ested. In spite Of the footing obtain
ed in Arkansas by the carpet'bag ele-
ment at one time the people have at
last, by admirable patience and patri-
otism, worked the situation clear so
far as they can. They have remodel
ed their Constitution so as to make it
consistent with honest popular gov
eminent, and they have elected State
officers that they can live under. The
State is peaceful and hopeful, and it
would be prosperous could the citizens
be assured that no interference would
deprive them of their rights, This,
then, is the key to the situation. If
the President can render fruitless the
results Of this peaceful and lawful
revolution in Arkansas, introduce an
archy where there is now order, sub
stitute the former scenes of blood for
the present peace, and make the peo-
pie subservient to his will anu that OF
his advisers and supporters by means
of National bayonets, then he can do
it in any other State North or South =,
and the perpetuation Of his power is
secured. But he will have to do it i'll
the face of the most sacred principles,
the most incontroyertible facts. The
Investigations recently made in the
most careful and thorough manner by
the Grand Jury at Little Rock brought
to light but one White Lacquer, and ii
was finally found that even he belong
ed to no worse than the Knights OF
Pythias. The President must take
the offensive as an assassin of State
liberties if he captures Arkansas. lie
can no longer pretend to be defending
any one but himself, and all his excu
sns ore shallow falsehoOds.

Four CHILDREN AT ONE BIRTH,-
The sensation in Baltimore during the
past week has been the sudden increase
of its population by the birth of quar-
tette sisters. The mother Of this inter-
esting progeny is Mrs. Main, an Amer
lean woman, about thirty years Of age
and the wife Of a cigar maker, whose
pecuniarY circumstances are hardly
equal to the drain on his purse which
this extraordinary event must neces-
state. He is said to be quite an in
te.ligent man, however, and he means
to do the best he can under this heavy
visitation of Providence. All the chill
dren are in sound health and quite as
good-humored as could be expected.
The announcement of the birth Of the
quartette appears to have interested
the ladies in all classes of society, and
the babies have been visited by hun

called to see the phenomena of Nature,
one coming from Washington and an
other from Philadelphia. The babies
were christened the other day and
were named respectively Sarah, Mary,
Kate and Jennie, and each was duly
labelled to prevent them from becom-
ing mixed, which would otherwise be
likely to happen, as they are as much
alike as four peas. When the announce
ment was made after the ceremony
that the babies refused to receive any
more visitors, the pavement in front
of the house was crowded with ladies,
who went respectfully away. The
wealthy ladies of the city are getting
up purse for the little ones, to give
them q start in lite, Judging from the
big figures already put down Balt-
more dosen't propose to let such enter
prise go unrewarded.

TIIURLow WEEP on THU ~PnrlEt
" T. Tribune, long letter to w.
V. Smith, on National and political
topics. In regard to the revolution
established by the late elections, he
says that the great stumbliug-block
which has injured the Republican
party more than anything else, and
which will destroy it unless it is done
away with, is the third terms aspira-
tons of General Grant and the timid
attitude Of the party leaders in rela-
ton to them. He believes the re-.
sumption specie payments entirely
practicable within a reasonable time
and without serious injury to the in
dustries Of the country, and says it is
not so much that specie is required
for general use OF circulation as that
the people should be assured that
specie can be obtained when it is ac
tually needed. A general determine
ton to resume would 90 more than
half way towards its accomplishment.
The New York Exchange, he thinks,
is the heaviest drug in tho way of re-
sumption. He favors gradual con-
traction, though doubtful of the ex
pediency in the present condition of
trade in the country; thinks the great
need OF the day is statesmen of purer
character. In regard to the next
Presidency he is not sanguine of Re
publican success, and says: 81 would
prefer the election Of an enlightened
and honest Democrat as President to
the election of an incapable Republl-
can Of equivocal integrity. When I
speak of an honest and enlightened
Democrat l have in my mind such
men as Gen. Hancock, Or Geu. Ward
(for some time Minister to Chlna),
from Georgia, or as far as I have been
able to form an opinion of his ability
and character, Gov. Newton Booth,
the newly-elected Senator from Cali
fornia."

''Whereas, objects of interest to the

picked himself up, and rubbed his
back, they should "Ynder what the
