To be sorry IL cheap, but to put yure

No man waz ever pittyed out ov a tite

Pity IL weaker than chicken broth,

gloss and freshness Of y0uth. Thin
hair is thiclScned, 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 new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its 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 dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly 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 a 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.

TIE DIVISION BILL NOT CALLED uP--REAsoN IT
HADN'T SHOW OF AssISG-DIsAPPoINrafEST
or THE DIyIpEHs-sTATE AID LOOKING sHARY.
speeiai Correspondence NJ thu Commercial.
DOVER, March q.
Another week of legislation is over, and none
of the important measures pending have yet
been passed 1t was fully expected by the del.
egaton that came down from Wilmington on
TAursday evening, in the interests Of county
division, that the bill providing for that measure
would be
RUSHED THROUGH UNDER The PHEssrg
brought to bear in its favor, and large proper
ton Of the party remained until Friday morning
to sec the thing through. In the staying over
part the dvisionists were fully grattied, and in
deed nobody objected to 1t the hotel and ga
loon keepers were of course pleased but in
seeing the county division bill pass they were
DOOMED TO DISAPPOINTMENT.
When the House adjourned on Friday noon,
without even a mention Of the bill, there was
perceptble shadow of disappointment on their
countenances which almost amounted to words.
The fact is that the friends of the bill In the
House were afraid to bring 1t up for considera-
ton for fear it would be
KILLED OUTRIGHT AT THE START
without even being made the special order for
any particular time. l will venture TO predict
that if this Legislature had the power TO divide
the county, without any future ratification, the
the BILL would not stand the ghost of q chance of
passing and will further venture the assertion
that it is only the assurance that the next legis
ature would refuse to ratify IL, that gives it any
show of success, now
A member remarked to yorr correspondent
recently, that it was hardly probable that the
lower counties would double tho representation
from New Castle County by the plan of diyis-
irion, when they are not willing to give them an
increase OF more than three or four by any
other plan.
NO MORE CHARTERS FOR RAILROADS.
The unfortunate dilemma In which State Aid
has placed the Legislature has made dead lock
in the Senate on all bills chartering new Rail
roads IN the State. Those opposed to State Aid
refuse to vote for any more charters unless an
amendment il incorporated forieiting the charter
II ever afterwards application should be made
for State Aid. Those in favor OF State Aid re-
fuse to vote for charter containing such
proscriptiye amendment, and 80 between the
two fires Railroad charters vii! be likely to
suffer.
srArE AID.
1t Seems To be pretty generally conceded that
the bill granting State AID in the construction OF
Railroads, docs not stand Very brilliant chauce
of passing.
Ii is sad that hoses have been counted in the
House and majority OF one found to be against
il, and even il IL does pass the House, there
would be a poor chance for it in the Senate. IL
therefore seems that the argument of the Secre-
tary of State, Mr.. Grubb, that the division
of New Castle county is necessary in order to pro-
vent the Kent and Sussex members from voting
money ont Of the Treasury for their railroads ID
not a sound one. 5. II.
