Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
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 only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to it's youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandrutt,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-g lands.
By it's 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 applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

Hon. Joseph e. Mcdonald, the
late elected United States Senator,
was born in Butler county, Ohio, Au-
gust 20, 1919. In the fall of 1926 he
moved with his parents from Ohio to
Montgomery county of this State. At
the age of IL he was apprenticed to
the saddler's trade, with a relative.
After serving out his apprenticeship
he entered Wabash College, remain
ing there two years. He entered As
bury University at Greencastie, but
remained only six months. After
acting in the capacity of clerk in a
store one year, he entered the law
and was admitted to the bar of the
Supreme Court in 1843. He was af
terward elected Prosecuting Attorney
for the,eighth circuit judicial, and re-
ceived reelection. In 1849 he was
elected to Congress over Hon. Henry
S. Lane. Being defeated for the Sec
ond term by Hon. Daniel Mace, he
resumed the legal profession at Craw-
fordsville. In 1856 he was elected
Attorney-General and received re-
election. While serving in the latter
term he took up his abode in this
city. In 1864 he was defeated for the
governorship by Hon. 0. P. Morton.
This was his last appearance before
the public as candidate for Office
until the present contest. He has al
ways been identified with the Demo.
cratic party. and it may be expected
that, as United States Senator, he
will favor all measures that will ad-
vance the interests of the party that
placed him in his present position

FROM NEWPORT.

NEwPoRT, WAYNE Co., Jan. &c, rs.
At mass meeting of the citizens of
New Garden township, held at New
port, Jan. 10th, 1875. the following
resolutions were drafted and fully
adopted by a unanimous vote:
1. Resolved, by this meeting assem-
bled, that We, as sovereigns of the law
making power. claim the right to be
heard; and so set forth our grievances
as further forbearance seems to cease
to be virtue.
2. Resolved, That the plan of de-
scribing land by plats and numbers as
set forth in the law Of 1872, instead of
metes and bounds as at present de-
scribed, is attended with great cost,
and is of no public utility; therefore
said law should be repealed at once.
3. Resolved, That we demand of
our Representatives, irrespective of
party, legislation in every department
of State looking towards retrench-
ment in its finances.
f. Resolved, That we stand undi-
videdly opposed to the organization
of any additional Court in Wayne
county. JOHN w. JOHNSON,
Chairman.

A singular story of jealousy and re

A singular story of jealousy and re-
venge comes from Sicily. A beautiful
young girl named Florina, who was
the belle of a travelling circus, in
which she figured as the lion tanner,
had been for some time receiving the
attentions of an athlete belonging to
the same troupe By some means she
ascertained that he was not faithful
to her, but had another lady love.
No signs, however, of her painful dis
covery were allowed to escape. She
still smiled sweetly upon him. In her
own bosom she planned the terrible
revenge. One evening when the per-
formances had been unusually brilliant
after Florinda had whipped the
lions and forced them to her feet-she
called her recreant lover aside and
said to him: do you still love me?'
always" he answered. DO you
know that l should die if you should
devote yourself to another woman ?''
What an idea" responded the young
man. but / should first kill you,"
said Florina. And how would you
do that?" Thus r. cried the girl, at
the same instant pushing him violent
ly into the cage of the lions They
attacked the unfortunate man at once
and tore him to pieces, while Florina
urged them on with blows of her
whip. -

Is 1t Worth While?

And is it worth while to take all the
sunshine out of life for the sake of
few miserable dollars? Meat and
groceries and coal and clothing are
not all of life. IF we restrict our
selves to these, and shut out music
and pictures, and the hundred things
that cultivate the aesthetic side of our
nature, we shall be economical at the
cost of dwarfing our moral and intel
lectual nature. And after we have
done this for a long series of years,
and so reached middle age with fair
balance in the bank, we shall then
find ourselves untitled TO enjoy the
pleasures that money will buy. We
shall have kept the dusty road SO long
that when we finally turn aside into
the groves and the brook-side, our
eyes will be in no condition to see the
beauties around u.s. Is it not better
to live while we do live, to give some
brightness and color to our daily lives,
even if by so doing we fail to increase
our boarded savings quite as rapidly
as we otherwise might. Is economy
quite worth the sacrifice of everything
that makes life other than dull and
dismal drudgery? A wise expendi-
ture of money for the good things of
lie is really the best economy

Sometimes, too, the flowers are

sedate nuns make gay artificial flowers

geous birds that haunt the forests of
South America. l cannot give you

gathered from the bottom of the Med

will find the cunningest of hummlng
birds in a little nest holding mes

one, mind you, but real one, that
has been caught and stuffed for the

The latest fashion in valentines is
to combine them with useful articles.
A lace or pearl handled fan, costing
$50, is secreted beneath flowers and
notices and cupids. A fine silk neck
tie for gentleman or boy, is wrapped
in white gauze, with the tender sentl-
ments: Through cloud and sun

or jewelry often are enclosed. Some
times a smoking-ca or pair of en-

Whether the idea of political toler-

Iished in the South is doubtful. At

pie. does not admit Of any such idea.
The following from Louisiana paper
is fair sample of the prevailing style
Of talk. It simply means that Repub-
licans will not be tolerated:
The lines must be drawn at once,
before our opponents are thoroughly

ranks. While the white mans party
guarantees the negro all of his present
rights, they do not intend that white
carpet -baggers and renegades shall be
permitted to organize and prepare the
negroes for the coming campaign.
Without the assistance of these vii
lains the negroes are totally incapable
of effectually organizing themselves,
and unless they are previously excited

come to the polls, and large percent
age of the remainder will vote the
white mans ticket"

How to Make a Good Bed.

Perhaps some housekecpers would
like to know how they can make an
inexpensive and at the same time a
good and durable bed, or mattress and
bolster. l have bed that will with
good usage) last a lifetime. 1t is
merely a tick, the same as for straw
or husks, with openings in the upper
side to insert the hand for stirring,
and filled with cut paper. Now. read
er, do not throw aside the paper with
disgust. but, If for nothing but curios-
ity, finish the article-it will do no
harm; possibly you may be induced TO
make one The work OF cutting the
paper is not such long job as you
would think. Take any kind of clean
paper Except straw paper) and fold 1T,
or roll, SO that it can be cut with one
clip of the shears, and then cut it,
you need not be particular as to the
width. These clippings are like little
curls or rings Of paper, and lie almost
as light as feathers, and after using
the led they will not break up and
grow fine and dusty, but are clean,
and can be stirred as light as when
first used. l have heard people who
have slept on them say they were the
best beds they ever slept on" L pre-
fer them to feathers or common mat
tresses; hair mattresses are nicer, of
course, but few of us farmers wives
can afford to buy them; whereas. the
paper bed we can have without cost,
except the work, and that the smallest
child you have who can use a pair of
shears will help you, and if not kept
busy too long at time, will think it
but play. The same material makes
nice pillows for lounges. chair cush-
ions, cradle ticks, etc. ] have a box
to keep waste paper in, which is out
of the way, and at the same time ham
dier than the rag bag; and when it is
full [ cut them up into another box
and put them into the tick. l use the
same ticks that have used for straw;
wash them and sew up the openings,
so that they are just large enough for
the hand to pass through readily;
three openings are suficient.-Cor.

save Your Coal Ashes.

Too often it has been said that there
is no good in coal ashes, but chemical
examination gives them the power OF
absorption almost equal to charcoal;
and if, when taken from the stove or
CRATE, they are mingled with the
chamber ley of the house and with
the soap wash from the kitchen, they
are found valuable as absorbents of
fertilizing ingredients. Applied after
so absorbing the liquids from the
above named, they are dug in around
young trees or spread upon grass
ground, or used as manure for the
garden in the culture of early carrots,
beets, radishes, ETC., Or as top dress

the influence of liquor, few days
since, climbed out upon his roof, and
amused himself by jumping thence to

thence to the next, till his antics had

WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA, JAN. 27.


The following opinion of the Hart
ford Courant in regard to the present
style of ladies' hats, is not compliment
tary, but, perhaps, just:
Believers in the intellectual equali-
ty OF the sexes are puzzled to account
for the sheep-like manner in which
the entire female sex will rush into a
dress absurdity at the dictation OF
some dressmaker or milliner, who
possibly draws her inspiration from
the Partisan demi- monde As an in
stance take the last agony in hats.
Some unknown woman satirist con-
celved the idea of exhibiting the
weakness of the sex by means of the
ordinary felt hat, cooked on one side.
A year ago the average fashionable
woman would as soon have worn cav
airy boots and spurs. But to day you
may count them as they go by on the
etreet-blue- blood or shoddy, strong.
minded or weak. intellectual or friy-
olous-nine out of every ten will have
the same style hat, cooked to one
side, and we suppose they speak of
them with the same tender and gush-
ing admiration as of the "loves of bon
nets which few years since orna-
mented the wonderful superstructure
which adorned the female head. We
admit that this is dangerous subject.
We may be told that the cooked hat is
no more absurd than most of the 9th
er styles of head-gear which have
been invented, and that the creatures
who consent to wear stove pipes are
not competent to Judge what is absurd
in the other sex. And we must ad-
NIT that there is just the least shadow
of foundation for the retort. The silk
hat is not exactly an article of beauty,
and the felt hat is better than the av-
erage, but let us suppose that some
ambitious halter should attempt to
introduce a tile with no brim on one
side or shaped like a funnel, how
many of his fellow citizens would
Adopt the absurdity? We fear that it
must be taken as evidence Of male su-
periority that while the two sexes
started in the race with the same fig
leaf enwrapment, man has succeeded
in clothing himself with dress which
combines comfort and utility with, in
some cases, at least, a certain amount
of elegance. Woman, on the other
hand, has encountered herself with a
dress which, while sometimes thing
of beauty, is seldom a joy, and COM
bines discomfort with unserviceable-
ness. Complaints are frequent, and
efforts at reform are perennial, but
the progress that is made, is made
usually in the wrong direction.
