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 new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with o pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray OF 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 inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for 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
iustre, and grateful perfume.

Thursday Evening, August q. 1875.
A Pointed Conversation.

Judge Barbour Lewis returned to the
city not long since and was accosted by
a Democratic friend. The dialogue was
as follows: well, Judge, l thought you
would never come back, since a few
would.be leading Democrats stole all
your negro thunder" well" answered
the bland Barbour, II thought l would
come back and see whether these gen.
tlemen, who abused me because / ate
with the negro at picnics, would abuse
themselves likewise for the same reason.
] do not want to be kicked out of the
Republican party by these gentlemen"
But, Judge, they do not wish to kick
you out Of the Radical party, but they
wish to get into it themselves, so as to
get the negro vote in their pockets"
" Yes" replied Barbour, THAT may be
true; you know when the mountain
failed to come to Mahomet, they-hal
hal hal "Mahomet had to 90 to the
mountain" put in his i~nterlocutor.
" Yesl yesl and you know Mahemet
wanted something. Hal hal hal These

ART as a Means 70 nsan,r-

The child who draws is already taking
his first lessons in the beautiful and The
good; and the fragments of the master
pieces which he has under his eyes teach
him not only to initiate the beautiful. but
to make himself beautiful. Mile Rachel
told me, one day, at the Due de Morny's.
where | was speaking of her beauty.
You don't imagine-all Of Won who
think me beautiful nowadays-how uClv
was at the beginning. l, who was to
play tragedy, had a comic mask. / was
lsughable, with my horned forehead, my
nose like a comma, my pointed eyes, my
grinning mouth. You can supply the
rest yourself. / was once taken by my
father to the Louvre. | did not care
much for the pictures, although he called
my attention to the tragic scenes Of Da-
vld. But when | came among the mar
bles a change CAM over nae like q reve-
lation. | saw how fine it was to be
beautiful. | went out from there taller
than before, with a borrowed dignity
which l was to turn into a natural grace.
The next day | looked over a collection
OF engravings after the antique. l never
received a lesson so advantageous at the
conservatoire. III have ever effectively
addressed the eyes of my audience by my
attitudes and expressions, it is because
those masterpieces so appealed to my
eyes" Rachel said this 80 admirably
that we were all moved by her words; for
she talked better than anybody, when
she chose not to talk like a Paris gamin.
oh, | forgot she continued, II must
tell you that if | have become beautiful,
as you say, though | { don't believe a word
OF 1t, it is owing to my daily study how
not to become uglier than | am. | have
eliminated what there wal Of monstrous
in my face, AS / was in the season of
sap when | took the idea of making my
self over again, after the ancestral
rough.draft, everything, with the help of
Providence, went we'll. The knobs Of
my forehead retired, my eyes opened,
my nose grew straight, my thin lips
rounded, my disordered teeth were put
back in their places" Here Rachel
smiled with that delicate smile which
was so enchanting. And then | spread
over all a certain air of intelligence,
which l do not possess" She was inter
rupted by so many compliments, which
we're the simple truth, that she could not
continue the story of her imperfections.
well" she said, the good thing about
it is that did not try to be beautiful for
the sake OF a man, as other women do,
but for the sake of art, disdaining the
commerce of love- as the philosophers
call it," Rachel was applauded that
evening as never before. There were.
not more than fifty persons at M. de
Morny's, but they were the top of the
basket Of all Paris, a parterre of dilettan-
ii, which is much better than a parterre
of kings. And yet she had net been

Foed for the Great.

A writer in B~elgravia says: "Great
men are great eaters" would probably be
the first exclamation of one who was
given to over-hasty generalization. There
would, indeed, be many examples to sup
port such a rule. Charles V, for in
stance, was an enormous eater. We are
told that he breakfasted at FIVE on a fowl
seethed in milk and dressed with sugar
and spices. After this he went to sleep
again. He dined at twelve, partaking
always of twenty dishes. He supped
twice; at first soon after vespers, and
the second time at midnight or one
o'clock, which meal was, perhaps, the
most solid of the four. After meat, he
ate a great quantity Of pastry and sweet
meats, and be irrigated every repast by
vast draughts of beer and wine. His
stomach, originally a wonderful one, sue
cumbed after forty years of such labors.
Motley, Rise Of the Dutch Republic.
After all, Charles died at an age-about
ffty-eight-at which we are accustomed,
in these days, to consider a statesman as
still in the prime of life. The love Of
pastry appears to have been hereditary
in the house of Hapsburg. Philip ii, the
same historian tells us, looked habitu'
ally on the ground when he conversed,
was chary of speech, embarrassed, and
sven suffering in manner. This was as
cribed partly to = > habitual pains
in the stomach, occssioned by his inGr-
dinate fondness for pastry" Philip Or
dering an auto-da-fe after a meal OF
goosebeery tart, which had disagreed
with him, is a subject for an historical
picture. Frederick the Great is another
illustration of the rule. Though he could
dine on a cup Of chocolate in war time,
he loved good eating and drinking, and
undoubtedly fastened his death by re-
fusing to conform in any way to proper
rules of diet. THE king" wrote Mira
beau, who was in Berlin at the time,

at dinner. each very highly seasoned;
besides, at breakfast and supper, bread
and butter covered with sailed tongue
and pepper. We are at the last scene.
No wonder. A short time before, a gen
tleman dined with Frederick, when an
eel-pie was brought to table, which he
declared was so hot that it looked as If
it had been baked in hell" The king
was immoderately fond Of those eelpies,
peppered to excess But, about six
weeks before his death, we have the rec

RObber Captured.

Yesterday afternoon Mike Mcdonald,
alias Captain Jack" a we'll known va
grant, entered the dwelling house of Mr..
Raquet, on Alabama street, and was
coolly plundering drawers and trunks,
when he was surprised by Mrs. Raquet,
who grappled with the thief and screamed
for assistance. Near by was the acad-
envy of Professor Stewart, who, hearing
the alarm, sailed out with his students
and attacked the robber in front and
flank; but not until the learned professor
of languages made a spirited charge in
the rear did the robber surrender. He
was taken to the station.house and
locked up. This morning he was com
mitted to Jail.

For many days the bridge on Madison
street over the cut in the Charleston
railroad has been in a dangerous condi-
ton and has been blockaded with plank.

a resolution instructing the City Engi-

of their failure the Engineer to repair
it, and the road to be held responsible
for the amount. City Engineer Burk
