 gloss and freshness cf 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. Its 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- tion of dandruf, which is often so un- cleanly 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 a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy iustre, and a grateful perfume.

bishop a1cQuApE, OF Rochester, N. Y, has
given tho Buffalo Courier Dem.) statement
OF the plaus Of the Roman Catholics about
tho school question, Of which the following
il the substance:

rafuc, md Tint 1t lins mono ut present. Ex-
pericncc will un1ucstionahly demonstrate
this. There c,!n, therefore, DO M cxcuso for
my owner Of abutting property III further
opposing a'1lo which will yield tho city
$soo, 900 (whft.h Ia sorsty necdod} and which
will benefit tloir property, There In no
temptation for these owners to hold out for
tho purpose Of getting paid for their release,
because nobody is going to pay them
neither the city nor the railroads. If Tiny
indulge in petty apito or obstinaoy, TINY nay
Hr1coocl in defef,ting the salo now and post-
poning it indefinitely, but It will be to their
own ttetri1neut and TINT Of the city, and vs
can scarcely conceive Of 30 silly thing.
As to the point rnisod III the Council con-
corning the taxation of the property and i'm
proveuents In case it IL Hold to the Illinois
Central lsailroad, 1t will DO well for tho city's
counsel to exa1nine The question. Though
tho Illinois Central Railroad is exempt from
local taxation by Its charter and on account
of the : per cent Of its gross-earninga which
it pays into tho State Treasury (of which,
Chicago enjoys its full proportion by tho re-
duction Of State tn1ntion), it ia question
whether tho requirement Of new property,
not contemplated by the charter, does not
carry with 1t n now obligation to pay local
taxes, But whether it docs OF not, no nn-
deratand 3Er. DouaLAs 10 admit that any
portion Of tho property occupied and used by
any other companies will be subject to
local taxation, oven though tho wholo Is
owned by the Illinois Central Company.

The domand Of the Aldermen that thcra
should be direct proposition for q purchase
Of the three blocks On tho lnke front has been
answered, in order to put this phase Of tho
controversy at rest, by Mr. DOUGLAS offer to
the Comptroller. But this offer prcsenta q
new complication In the qualifying phrnss
that the sum Of $500, coo shall ".cover my
expenses OR costs occaaioned by litigation or
clainsa." This has been misconstrued by
sotne OF tho Aldermen to mean tint ths city
shall guarantee tho Raitroad Company, ut the
ti1ue Of transferring tho property, againat oil
other claims than those which tha city has.
We do not believe that this ia tic intention.
To begin with, the Council haa no right to go
: outside Of the citys claim. and would scarcc-
" do SO II 1t had. It ia not
likely, therefore, that Mr.. Doua1As
would nsk an impoasibility. Tho prop
osition probably moans that Alr. Douo1AB
ia willing to pay $s0o,o 700 for tho citys quit
claim, but does not wish to buy lot of Inv
suits. II met in the proper spirit by the
Council, their position should bo that thcy
ars willing to sell tho city's title to these
three blocks for SsooO0 but not willing to
assume any lawsuits. Thene are only two
parties who claim a1y rlghta outside Of tho
city. Ono In tho Unitnd Status Government,
which il represented by the injunction In
Judge DnuMNoap's Court. No transaction
can DO mado .sshilo this injunction holds
bnt there Is every reason to believe that tho
United States Government OF its own mo-
ton will not rcaist tho dissolution of the iu.
junction. There will bo no particular cost
or trouble for the city to mo4e for such
dissolution, There only remains, then,
tho opposition of q few ownarB Of ahut-
ting property to dispose Of. 4 large
majority OF these property y-owners fully
Avo-si1ths, We bolievo-lavo already roloased
their clailas, and il Ia believed that the othors
will do 10 aftor further reflection. At all
events, the Railroad Company has deanitely
md finally announced that it will not pay
QUO. dollar towards these claims oyer md
Above the $Soo,0oo 1t offers for the cIty's
qult-clain, and 1t is cqually certain that the
s:ity will not pay them dollar, nor assume
u4y liability for damages.
This ia the situation then Tho transfer Of
tho three blocks on terms conceded to Ia
favorable to the city depends simply and sole-
ly upon the aoquiescence Of three or four por-
sons WHO formerly opposed to It, but whoao
interests should now dictate contrary
course. Tie only claim they could have un.
