THE o. s. Jolu7sd! touches the right
string when it discourses thus upon the
coming Republican nominee for Gov
ernor: ui
We have a cord of second or third
third rate men named for Governor on
the Republican ticket. Now, 1t must
be apparent to every one that second
rate man will not do. We must have
man who can carry the fiag,' and
keep 1t to the front, without being
boosted. He must be a man who can
appear before the array as the Republi-
can champion, and meet whoever
comes into the lists. Let him be oil or
young, rich or poor, politician or
ploughman, so he can but show an un-
blenlished shield and do his devoir
with skill and ability in the canvass,
we care not. He is the coming man
not only for Governor, but for higher
honors. The prize is brilliant one,
and it is not for any featherbed cham

MONDAY was the centennial of the
fight at Lexington and Concord, Mas
sachusetts. One hundred years before,
by the old North Bridge, "the embat-
tied farmers stood, and fired the shot
heard rouna the world" The day was
celebrated on the spot with imposing
ceremonies. Many distinguished per-
sonages from all parts of the country
were present, including President
Grant, whose grandfather was one of
the patriotic sharp-shooters, who did
such effective work during the fight;
his cabinet; the Governor and Legisla-
ture OF Massachusetts; the Governors of
all the New England States, and many
other eminent personages in literature,
art, religion and politics.

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 a new
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 off. and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrulf, 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 n 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 = rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful r.. tune.

thanks to you for beGefits derived from the use
of VEGETINE, and t0benefit others, will stale:
When eight or nine years old was afflicted
with ScrOfula, which made its appearance In
my eyes, face ana head, and was very near
blind for two years. All kinds of operations
We performed on my eyes, anu all TO no good
result. Finally the disease principally settled
in my body, limbs and feet and al times in an
aggravated way.
Last summer was. from some cause, weak
in my spine and kidneys. and it was at times
very hard TO retain my urine. Seeing your ad-
vartisem ent in the Commercial, bought q
bottle of VEGETINE, and commence using
according to directions. In two or three days
/ obtained great relief Alter using four or five
bottles l noticed it had n wonderful effect on
the rough, scaly blotches on my body and legs.
still used VEGETINE and the humorous sores
one after another disappeared until they were
all gone, and l attribute the cure of the two
diseases to VEGETINE and nothing else.
II am ever affected with anything OF the
kind again l shall try VIC ETINK as the only
reliable remedy. Once more accept my thanks
and believe me TO be, Very respectfully.

ington that the President, before he
left, notified Mr.. DelanO that his resig.
nation was desired, and would be ac

having confidential relations with the

detected in some corrupt transactions
so connected with the business of the
office that the Secretary must have
