no purpose physicians could not help her; she
grew worse constantly. After all this, can you
blame us that we were so 10th to try your medi.
cine? we had no faith in anything. We tried
your medicine because you was SO sure it would
help her; we did not believe it ourselves; hut
before the second bottle was finished we noticed a
change for the better. She grew stronger, her
eyes began to get better, and she appeared like
another being. After taking seven bottles (the

Behold! but one short hour,
And what change is this -
We brave the winters power
To gain realm of bliss.
Down, down on pinions swift
We fly to meet the wales;
Down from the ice and drift
To flowers and smiling dales.
Down where the trees IN bloom
EnshriAe the birds of song;
We flee the seasons tomb,
To join the happy throng
That revel all their lives
In sweet, perennial spring,
Where every season vies
Its fairest gifts to bring.
There lift the whitened plains,
Lo here are leafy bowers.
While there the Frost King reigns,
Here, beauty crowns the hours;
Shadowy hell rules there,
Smiles gentlest Heaven here,
Warmth, sunshine, golden air
And waters blue and clear.
One hour-and such change
Some sweet dream, sure, were this;
One hour from yon white range
To greet the SUMS warm kiss.
Let winter howl and rage
The Sierra is his home;
Here glows pictured page
Beneath the Heavens pure dome.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thiekened, 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 q 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-
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 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 a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

A Specimen Reformer.

A retrospect OF a few years will bring
prominently to view a character who is now
figuring as a shrieker for reform, and serve as
a test of the reform that would likely follow
the election of Tilden. Alex. Mcclure is
the editor of the Philadelphia Times, quo
ted by the Democratic press and speakers all
over the country because OF his nervous
appeals for reform This same Alex.
Mcclure was Captain of the ''bucktais, "
who made the charge upon the Virginia Leg
islature in 1871, for the purpose of gobbling
up the Fredericksburg Railroad. He was
armed with vast pile of greenbacks, and it
was charged and never successfully denied,
that he Systematically and deliberately PLAN
ned to buy that body of Virginia reformers.
There is no question but that brides were Of
fered and taken--that Alex. Mcclure offered
them, and that they were taken by men
who had votes and that these votes carried
Mr.. McClurc's scheme through. He is
known as the most notorious lobbyists in
and for that reason is Til
len reformer Of approved pattern. or such

TWEED AND GOVERNOR T1LDEN.-At
the Cabinet meeting Monday, OF last week.
the Acting Secretary of State presented a
communication from the Governor of the
State Of New York, in which he makes the
request that on the arrival OF the United
States steamer Franklin at the port of New
York, VIM. NJ. Tweed may be delivered to
the Sheriff of the city and. county OF New
York, and that measures be taken by the
General Government to prevent any COM
munication being held with Tweed previous
to his delivery to the Sheriff. The right of
the Governor to make this demand was
promptly recognized, and the President d.
rected the Secretary of the Navy to take the
necessary steps for complying with the re-
quest.
AS Governor Of n cw York, Mr.. Tilden had
the right to make the demand, notwithstand-
ing his conniyancc at Tweed's escape. The
secresy enjoined is rather suspicious, and
contributes to the general belief that Tweed
is troublesome elephant to Mr.. Tilden. He
could a tale unfold that would make each
particular hair OF the modern reformer stand
on end like quilts upon the frightful porcu-
pine.

The Probable Result.

Before another issue OF the VIRGINIAN,
the American people will have determined
the grave question, whether the next four
years is to be peace and prosperity or dis
trust and doubt, If not disaster. We have
an abiding faith in the good sense and pa
triotic desire of the people when left to be
governed by considerations that address
themselves to the reason and not the pas
slons. We believe as sincerely rs we could
anything not positively demonstrated, that the
candidates Of the Republican party will be
successful, and that the country will continue
to 60 on in the path OF assured prosperity,
which has steadily marked its course for the
past decade. The buster and false preten-
sion and falsehood which have distinguished
the campaign on the part of the Demo-
Gratis have deluded many people with the be-
lief that there is really some chance for the
election of Tilden. When we bring the
pretension to the test of reason, however,
there is nothing in it. In all the elections both
and State, since January, 1876,
the Republicans have steadily gained, except
in the Southern States. There has been no
indication of any change in the
current. Facts have been misstated and re-
turns falsely reported it is true, by the Dem
ocratic leaders and press, but this does not
alter the palpable assurance that the Repub-
licans have been persistently gaining. All
the reason of the case, based upon the
facts as they exist, give promise that Hayes
will not only carry nearly, if not every old
State, but that the Republicans
will regain their ascendency in the House of
Represeatatives--thu giving the National
party the entire and unchallenged control of
all the departments of the Government. We
may, with reasonable expectation, calculate,
also, on carrying three, and probably
four Southern States-South Carolina, Loui-
siana and Florida, certainly, and probably
North Carolina. With a fair ballot, there
would be no boubt of succeeding in Missis-
sippi and Alabama, But the white-liners
have full control Of all the election machin-
cry in these State, and the chances are there
tore against an honest election.
We think we may safely assure our read
ers that our next issue will contain the an

md WILLIAM A. WHEELER are the Presi-
lent and Vice-President elect of the United

GREAT FRAUDS DETECTED IN PHILADEI-
PHIA-50, 900 FRAUDULENT TAX TICK
ETS CAPTURED-THE GUILTY PARTIES
ARRESTED.
Especial Dispatch to the New York Times.l
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2S.-We have ar
rested Henry Marcus, an ex-member OF the
select Council from the Fourth Ward, and
Treasurer OF the Democratic City Executive
Committee. He was coming from the Dem
ocratic Committee rooms with paper, pre-
pared to issue $4,000 fraudulent tax receipts.
A warrant has been issued for Samuel Jo-
sephs, a Democratic candidate for the Legis-
lature, who is charged with conspiring with
the said Marcus to violate the Election laws
of the Commonwealth. We have unearthed
one of the most stupendous frauds ever at
tempted in this city. All the fraudulent pa
pers have been captured by the police.
HOW THE SCHEME WAS DISCOVERED.
The police last night captured paper for is
suing $4,000 bogus tax receipts in this city
in the hands of two prominent members of the
Democratic party. 1t seems that few days
ago Hon. Christian Kneass, chairman of the
Republican City Committee, to whom the
credit for unearthing this great fraud is due,
was informed that the Democracy intend to
flood the city with bogus tax receipts, but
that the great trouble was to procure paper
with the water-marks personal Tax, 1862
on 1t. At last the paper was obtained, and
tonight, while the rank and file of the par
ty were giving General McClellcn, of moth
powder fame, reception, a wagon came out
OF Griswold's alley, near Sixth and Brain
bridge streets, in the Fourth Ward. This
was followed by Detective Harry Weyle.-
The carriage was driven to the Headuuar-
tiers OF the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, No. LOLA Walnut street. Here Hen
~ Marcus, eX-member of the City Council
from the Fourth Ward, alighted. Soon Sam
uel Josephs, leader of the Democracy, and
candidate for the Legislature in the Twen-
ty-Eighth District, appeared. In short
time Marcus and Josephs appeared coming
from the headquarters each carrying large
bundle. The bundles were placed in the
carriage, and Marcus got in. Josephs went
up Walnut street. Detective Weyle and
couple of officers followed in another car
riage, and on Locust street below Tenth,
oyerhauled the carriage containing the bo |
gus receipts. The party were driven to Po- |
lice Headquarters, where it was found that
it was great capture, and the receipts hav-
ing the required water-mark: and could not
be detected from the genuine. Marcus was |
given hearing, and held in $4,000 bail for
the Election laws. a warrant was
issued for Josephs, and he will be arrested
before morning. The driver Of the carriage
said the receipts were to be taken to the |
printing house Of Gilleerf & Maggie, in Fifth
street below Walnut. This capture prevents
the consummation Of the greatest fraud |
which had ever been attempted here, and
shows where the party of reform intended to
get their votes,

Correction.

A brief article inserted on the 4th page Of
the VIRGINIAN of last week, contained the
statement that the Constitutional amend
ments would be voted on separately, or ON a
separate ticket. The article was copied
from some exchange, and not particularly
noticed by the editors before it was published.
There is an error in the statement. There
should be but one ballot, and that contain
the words either for or against the Amend
ments as the voter may determine.
