gloss AMI freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen 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 grey 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 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 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
iastre, and a grateful perfume.

The N. Y. Sun, in speaking of the
proposed charge in the libel law OF this
State, says: "In the Pennsylvania Legis.
latnre a bill has been introduced which
provides that on tho trial of indictments
for libel the truth of The matter charged
as libelious may be given in evidence,
and that if it can be shown that the
publication has been made from good
motives or for justifable ends, and is
true, it shall operate TO the acquittal of
the defendant. The bill also provides
that no conviction for the publication Of
libel shall be had anywhere except
withip the county where the paper con.
tanning 1t is printed, and that any per-
son convicted on q criminal prosecu-
tion in an inferior court may, for cause
shown, carry the case to the Supreme
Court on appeal, as provided and prac,
tised In civil cases. Such q law would
not In any way prevent the Indication
of just penalties upon any person guilty
of libelllng citizen. while it would
shield the press from malicious prose
cutions for doing its duty in combating
wrong and corruption. For this very
reason, however, 1t may be expected t.
receive the hearty opposition of al
rOgpPs in office who fear 10 have theil
misdeeds made public. To the unjust
law Of libel which has heretofore pre-
vailed in Pennsylvania, and the conse
quent terrorism exercised over thu
press, may be attributed In a grea
measure the degraded tone of politica
morality which has long disgraced tina

OYER-AsSEsSMENT.

We have received information of an excess
i've appraisement ola piece of property which
we charitably presume is the result of an er.
ror rather than a deliberate purpose to do
wrong. Saturday last two-story house on
Baronne street, near Melpomene was sold by
public auction, on a twelve months bond, for
the sum of s2350. After the purchase the
owner went to inquire about the assessment,
and found it had been appraised a. $4,000.
eve can readily understand that in times
like these, when real estate is almost stagnant
and property is quoted at merely nominal
prices, our appraiser may, very readily, make
an error in valuation. We know of property
sold recently for about half of what it had
been offered for on the street, and there are
every day that show, conclusively.
the great depreciation in values.
Property, however, is only worth what it
will bring, and when man buys house in
open market for S235O he cannot be made to
pay tax upon valuation of $4,000. The
house referred to would not have brought
over s2OOOif it had been sold for cash, SO
that justly the appraisement should not ex-
coed two-thirds of that amount. We have no
doubt that figures will be changed if the
proper showing be made to the Assessor of
he district and even if he should decline to
make the reduction, way can readily be
ound to make him by taking the requisite
steps in court .s

We have specimens of the metallic currency
Of Japan, old style and new, the latter nearly
identical with our own in weight; size and
ineness, but the designs stamped upon them
essentially Japanese in their character. When
Iwakura, tn junior Prime Minister of Japan,
was in this country several years ago. as am
bassador to the western nations, he visited the
mint with his numerous suite, and went
through the different departments with keen
eye, but impassive countenance, until, on en-
tering the Cabinet, be was placed before frame
case Of old style Japanese coins hanging on
the wall, when suddenly his eyes kindled
and his face expanded into broad smile of
grati6ed surprise at the sight of something
in this strange land that brought renem-
brances of home so wildly before him. 1t
was through the fundamentally and as re-
suit of the visit of the former embassy that
the coinage Of Japan was assimilated to our
own.
We have a collection of 700 Chinese coins.
One piece is claimed by the Chinese anthori-
ties to date 230O before Christ, according to
their chronology, but it is probably not older
than about 300 years before Christ
