THE BALL MURDER. - Saturday,
oath of July, being the anniversary Of
The murder Of Marietta n. Ball, Of
st. Adams, VT, some two hundred
persons assembled at the place of the
commission of the horrible crime, and
held q meeting in honor of her men,
ory. Asermon was delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Howard, and the pupils Of the
murdered teacher decorated the place
Of her assassination with flowers and
festooned the bushes with Grape. The
entire scene was very impressive. But
where and who is the hend that per-
petrated that foul deed? Her bloc
cries from the ground, and justice
raises its glittering sword for the

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thiekened, 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 q Eew
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's 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-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume

q. M. STANLEY IN AFRICA.

The correspondent In Africa of that rat
e-brained Briareus, the New York Herald,
which seeks with its undiscipllned horde of
attaches to scoop up the news in every quar-
ter of the globe, publishes letter in its issue
of yesterday from Mr.. Stanley, dated Vii
lage of Ksgebyi, District of Uchambi,
County of Usukuma, May Is, 1875. The
letter is accompanied by map indicating
the rivers which flow into the Victoria
Niyanza, and the complexion of the shores
map his letter would lose much of its in
terest; with it, the reader at once accumu-
lates a vast addition to the store of his
geographical knowledge of the interior of
Africa, and besides this, Mr.. SANKEY'S let
ter goes far toward consolidating expecta-
tons that the true sources Of the Nile will
be soon discovered. 1t is evident from his
letters, and no good reason exists for doubt
ing the statements in any portion Of them,
that the brave explorer is fighting his way
to success through every kind of privation
and peril. 1t is only from his later letters,
however, that the public may expect to
CLEAN the stories of his personal adventures.
Now he is dealing with the more important
part Of his mission. He will give spirited
pen pictures of the strange things he sees
there, and the following passage from this
letter shows that Mr.. Stanley is not un-
mindful of the effects upon the natives of
the presence of his boats and men. He
says, speaking of one days travel:
"At noon found myself under the Equator,
and four miles north came to discolored water
and slight current flowing to the southwest.
Seeing q small bay of sufficient breadth to
make good river, and no land at Its eastern
extremity, ] made sure / had discovered
river, which would rival the Shimeeyui but
within an hour land all round revealed the
limit and extent of the Bay Of Nakidimo. We
anchored close to a village and began to court
the attention of some wild looking fishermen.
but the nude barbarians merely stared at US
from under pent-houses of hair, and hastily
stole away, to tell their wives and relatives of
how an apparition in the shape Of q boat with
white wings to II had suddenly come before

puE-BIILs AND STORE ORDERS.

Hon. W. d. Kelley Is still whacking
away at his scheme for turning paper into
currency by act Of Congress. He lectured
before an audience of about four hundred
the other night, in the Cooper Institute, to
show that due-bills, which never mature,
and Uncle Sans orders on his store for
everything but cash, would be the same as
cash if Congress would only enact that
they are cash, and receive them as such
for the duties on importations. 1t is not
strange that Mr.. Kelley and Mr.. 81. G.
Carey, who are the advocates of prohibi-
tory tariff, should favor currency purely
American. 1t is entirely consistent with
their theories of that protection which
amounts to prohibition. But it is doc
trine that would debar us from all com
merce with the rest of the world. We now
pay some two hundred million per annum
for tea, coffee, and the raw materials used
by our manufacturers, and another hun
dred million for sugar and tobacco, all
articles Of prime necessity with our people.
How are we to do without these articles?
or how are we to obtain them if we have
no money current in the marts of the
world with which to pay for ,them2 1t
will take all the gold we produce annually
to pay the interest on the public debt
Commerce is reciprocal. We exchange
the fruits of our labor for the fruits of the
labor of other countries, and if we will not
buy of them neither can we sell to them.

THE specie resumption bill passed by
the last Congress was generally accepted as
a compromise measure, and was supported
by members of both parties. Since then,
however, the tendency of Republicans has
been in the direction of hard metal cur
rency, while the Democracy, especially IN
the West, has wandered off in the direction
of soft paper currency. The result is
division between the two parties, in which
the Republicans appear to be on the side of
integrity and the Democrats on the side of
reputation. 1t is in vain that the Demo
cratic organs attempt to dispute the truth
of this deduction. They cannot find Re-
publican leader who has declared in favor
of soft money, and only one newspaper,
the Chicago Inter Ocean, that is not true to
the financial pledges of the party. At the
same time they are compelled to admit that
the hard money strength of their party is
confined to New York and portions of New
England.

IT MUST be admitted that the Democracy
of the District gives evidence of a public
spirit worthy of better cause, and sets an
example for their more sluggish Republi-
can fellow citizens, in supporting two asso-
Citations at time when no excitement oflocal
political contest exists to induce them to do
so. These associations, especially the Me
tropolitan, seem to be kept up from pure
love of party principle, or the ''fun of the
thing" but they both serve to keep alive
deep interest in the welfare of the party,
and will be useful in the future as a nucleus
for other organizations when the right of
suffrage is restored, if it ever is, to these
''six miles square" Meanwhile the Re-
publicans have no organization, and are not
likely to have one, unless some public
spirited member of the party steps forward
to make an effort in imitation of the plans
so successfully pursued blythe Democrats.
This is certainly humiliating confession
to make, but the Democratic demonstra-
tons last night over the returns of Tues
day prove that it is justified by the facts

one country rarely balance exactly, yet our
aggregate sales added to the cost OF carry
ing which our ships do for other nations
should nearly balance our aggregate puf-
chases from other countries and pay the
cost of carrying which they do for us.
When they do not do this we are evidently
running into debt. As Great Britain is
now the largest creditor nation of the
world she is the worlds banker, and her
commercial capital is the great clearing
house of the world IN which balances are
settled. Our greenbacks will not go there,
and 365 convertible. currency bearing
bonds would now command only about 81
in gold. If we should add an unlimited
quantity to the volume of greenbacks con-
yertible into these bonds they would fall
rapidly to zero, as neither principal nor in
terest would be of any value abroad.
AS we have frequently had occasion to
remark, greenbacks are Uncle Sans due
bills or orders upon his store for every
thing but cash. If we want them cashed
we have to submit to the discount between
paper and as gold dollar. Laboring men
well know what orders on the store OF the
company for which they work mean.
They mean plumber and robbery of the
laborer If he had the cash he could
choose his own place of purchase and buy
where he could buy cheapest. If1ahe takes
the order he is compelled to buy at single
store, take such goods as he can get and
pay the price his employers see fit to charge
him. This is bad enough in all conscience,
but there being no limit to the quantity or
volume of due-bills or orders which the
company may issue. The latter may elect to
pay nothing else. The laborer gets over
stocked with this currency, and cannot in
vest it in real estate or other property
which he needs, and he presents it to the
company for redemption. What then?
He is complacentlY told that it is quite
good, but that the company has so much
money to pay to people who will not sell
material for credit or paper money that it is
unable to cash its own due-bills or orders.
However, it will exchange them for note
at a very low rate of interest, payable also
in due-bills Would that tand to elevate
the credit of the company? Not much.
Now this is just what Mr.. Kelley pro-
poses that Uncle Sam shall do. He APP
pears 10 believe that greenbacks which
will bring 10 per cent per annum with
real estate security would rush for CONVEX
sion into bonds bearing only $3.50 per cent.
per annum, principal and interest payable
in these same greenbacks. Isl not charity
to believe the man is demented?

Now THAT ex-senator Fenton his re-
turned, bag and baggage, to the Republican
camp, such Democratic Journalist the Buff
falo Courier have suddenly discovered that
he cannot add much strength to the
party" So long as he was inimical to the
party, however, he was, in the eyes of the
Democracy, tower of strength. But it is
strange that Fenton and other Liberals who
were so strong and sre now so weak were
not considered worth cultivating more
earnestly by the Democrats when they were
strong. The Democratic failure to do this
probably had much to do with their return
to Republicanism, because it plainly proved
that the only place for men of true conser
vatism is within the Republican ranks.
Outside of them there is selfshness which
is but a synonym for Democracy, and
which serves to prevent any man from
gaining recognition who at any time has
been liable to suspicion as a supporter of
Republican principles. This fact is begin
ming to attract attention, especially among
the old Wings of the South, who, like the
Liberals of the North, have discovered that
Democracy means nothing more nor less
than offices for the Democrats.

WASHINGTON DRAMATIC AUTHORSHIP
THE JOE JEFFERSON CLUB.

We have in Washington two or three
playwrights, who for several years have
been ambitious to have their productions
accepted and placed upon the stage. In
order TO accomplish this they have written,
implored and bored many good people
nearly to death, but SO far without realiza-
ton of their hopes. We are satisfied that
two of these plays contain material, to say
the least, quite superior to much that is &C.
cepted by managers, for it cannot be denied
that majority of modern plays are weak
in plot, faulty in construction, and abomi-
nably written, especially those of the So
ciety and border life class. How many
dramatic authors there are in Washington
who have made no attempt to force their
productions upon the attention of the pub
lie we do not know, but the number is not
limited TO two, and there are others who
would try to write plays if even the ghost
of a chance TO see them on the stage ex-
listed. Managers, like Mr.. Ford, for in
stance, cannot give his theatres up in the
season for the trial of experiments, and the
community would not tolerate them if they
did. When money is seriously demanded
from the public for the production of the
drama, the public just as seriously demand
the production of something of ackuowl-
edged merit. They are frequently wofully
cheated, but that is not always intended.
1t is no wonder that many aspire to dra-
matte authorship, for success is sure to re-
turn quick and ample reward, and when
an author has written something which he
himself thinks meritorious il gals him to
the quick and hardens his heart to know
that the direct avenues of recognition are
denied him. 1t is wrong that they should
be, and some remedy ought to be suggested.
At this writing We can think of only one
that seems at all feasible, and that is
Though the influence of the Joe jefferson
Dramatic Club. This club is so good that
it ought to be made better. 1t embraces
talent quite equal to the task of testing the
merits Of new production, and it might
make arrangements to bring out during the
season five or six new plays by Washing
ton authors, and these occasions could be
made so important that the right kind of
audiences would be present as the judge,
audiences whose acceptance or rejection of
play would do much toward sealing its
fate OF course this would be attended by
much expense on the part of the club, but
we think the patrons of art in Washington
would be sufficiently interested in the
scheme to meet the expense. We would
have the authors names suppressed until
after the trial nights. The enhancement
of the dignity and power of the club would
be one of the features of the adoption of
such an idea, and the rapid cultivation Of
sound dramatic taste on the part of the
public another, and good would certainly
follow TO all concerned. The suggestion
is an entirely new one, and we should be
pleased to hear from our friends on the
subject. Perhaps some better way can be
devised for.bringing out new authors and
new plays.

THE campaign in New York is becoming
