Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair. Preparation;
which is due to merit alene. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandraf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents arc pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

public credit and dangerous to the public
peace. They are against Tilden on the
financial issue. Their assigned reasons
are that the Democratic party is identified
with the rebellion and the principle which
gave it life. Its advent to power would
be the precursor of Southern claims for
compensation to an extent that would
jeopardize the solvency Of the Ma
,tional Treasury, and entail upon the tax
payers burdens that could not be borne.
The radical change in the policy of the
Government which the election of Tildcn
would imply would, in their judgment,
impair the credit of the Government at
home and abroad, postpone Indefinitely
the resumption of specie payments, and
endanger in future our peace and pros
perity. This paper makes strong i'm
preston in financial circles.
The distinguished former Democratic
lawyer, 4, w. Stoughton, publishes let

statements and admissions that the latter
personally knew and understood the char
acter of the circular signed with his name

THE FLAG or HAYES.

Come let us raise the stripes and stars
From every hill and every dome,
And swear that treason's haunting bars
Shall never float o er freedoms home;
But long as our great hills shall stand,
And our bright rivers seek the sea,
Justice shall rule throughout tho land,
And all the people shall be free.
See. gathering from the caves and rocks,
Where vanquished treason skunk from sigh
The shected hordes cone forth in hocks.
Like wolves, to prowl Mt dead of night.
And where the bondman's letters fell
When Lincoln broke the tyrant's chainl
The freedman hears the rebel yell,
And sinks into slave again
But lol the star OF hope Is seen
1t rises DER the hills of Maine:
1t beams above the mountains green,
And shines DER Colorado's plain.
II flashes from Ohios wave;
The Wabash cen reflects its rays.
1t lights the armies true and brave
That rally round the flag OF Hayes.
Join hands, We gallant Union hosts,
Who bear that flag triumphant on;
Defeat shall end the foeman's boasts,
And ours shall be the victory won
And when the coming time has brought
TO all our country better DAYS,
Well tell the deeds of those who fought
Beneath the glorious flag of Hayes.

Conclusive Evidence Concerning Til.
den's Income Tax Frauds.

The Chicago Tribune of the 2Sth pub.
fishes a letter from George Bliss, United
States Attorney for the Southern District
Of New York, to the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, which gives much infor-
nation of value and significance respect
ing the question of Mr.. Tilden's income
tax. District-Att'y Bliss, acting under in
structionS from Commissioner Raum, pro-
ceeded to make inquiry into the matter
with view 10 bringing suit against Mr..
Illden for the recovery of that portion of
his income tax out of which he was be-
lieyed to have defrauded the Government.
1t was definitely ascertained that in 1869
Mr.. Tilden was paid for legal services by
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago
Railroad Company the sun of $50 900,
and that this sum was not included in
Mr. Iilden'S income return Tor that or
any subsequent year,-the return for 1869
having shown $4,000 to be his total in
come for that year. In order to obtain the
proof necessary to institute legal proceed
ingS the District-A Attorney endeavored to
get access to the books of the railroad
company, which were known to contain
entries showing the payment of the $50 900
fee Permission to inspect the books is
refused point blank by the President pro
ten. of the Fort Wayne Railroad Company,
and in this shape the matter now stands.
Mr.. Iildcn. says the Tribune, is one Of the
Directors Of that corporation. and it is I'M
doubleday at his request that the officers of
the Government have been denied permits
sion TO examine the books. If the payment
Of $50, eos TO Mr.. Tilden is not shown in
the books, their inspection would at once
establish that fact and put IN end to the
controversy. The conclusion is therefore
inevitable that the books are withheld
from inspection in order to prevent until
after election complete exposure of Mr..
Tidcn's incomc-tax frauds. The object
is delay, and it will probably succeed, as
the legal proceedings necessary to compel
the production of the books would con-
sumo considerable time.

The Wrong Customer.

The other day an old man entered a
dry goods store on West Madison
street, and meekly paused before the
counter presided over by statuesque
young woman, who puts on more maj
esty for seven dollars a week than
Juno could have afforded for twice the
money before the war, when things
were much cheaper than they are now.
He waited for three and a half min
utes, till she had coaXed a refractory
hair to lie straight. and then came sail
ing towards him with the grace Of a
whole flock of swans, then, respectful
ly cleaning her nails, waited TO hear
what he had to say.

the old man, timidly.
Tie young lady followed with her
eyes a lady who happened to be passing
the window, made a mental appraise-
ment of the lady's costume, and a

Gov. Hayes at the Centennial.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.
Ohio day at the Centennial grounds was
celebrated by several thousand citizens Of
the Buckeye State, and the number of Wis.
itors was increased by delegations repre-.
senting the Mercantile Associations of
New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati and
other cities. The great attraction of the
day was the presence and reception of Gov.
Il. B. Hayes. Thousands of warm hearts
welcomed him, and everywhere he was
greeted with cheers and overwhelmed with
attentions Accompanied by his staff and
other prominent citizens of Ohio, and es-
corted by Director General Goshorn, Gen.
Hawley and John Welsh, Esq, Gov Hayes
proceeded to the Ohio State Building, fol
lowed by long procession, while the
bands played patriotic airs Upon arriving
at the State Building Gen. Hawley briefly
introduced Coy. Hayes, and after their
noisy manifestations of pleasure had sub
sided the next President addressed the
multitude on the behalf of the State of
Ohio. He expressed appreciation of the
honor done his State by the presence of
the representatives of foreign Govern
ments, of the Centennial Commissioners
from other States, and of citizens of States
who had joined in the celebration of Ohio
day.
When Gov. Hayes concluded his add
dress the enthusiasm of the people again
burst forth in rounds of applause, while
he Withdrew to another part of the build
ing and held formal reception. A long
procession was admitted as rapidly as pos
sible, and everybody was received with a

ocratic city majority kept down to such
amount that the large Republican MAORI
ties elsewhere will not fail to overcome ii
and secure decided majority in the State
for Hayes and Wheeler The three Pa
cific-coast States and New Jersey are
believed to be surely Republican, and
there is good fighting chance for Indiana,
while the information from North
Carolina, South Carolina. Florida and
Louisiana shows that in spite of the MUIR
derous opposition of Tilden Democrats
those Southern States will give majorities
for Hayes.
The systematic and prearranged boast
ings from the Tilden headquarters in New
York are only desperate expedients to
avoid inevitable defeat. The Republicans
of the country have only to perform their
full duty, and every man go early to the
the polls, and the triumph of Hayes and
Wheeler will be overwhelming.

Bad ChirOgraphy.

Int anecdotes tOlu at the expense OF
the late Horace Greeley's bad chirog-
raphy, if gathered together and pub
lished, would fill a goodsized volume
Many of them are true, but fair pro-
portion have no foundation in fact. It
is not SO generally known that Col
John w. Forney, of the Philadelphia
Press, writes an eXecrable hand, but
he does, and most compositors who
have had his "copy" know it by the
expressive name of chow-chow,"
and the Colonel is sometimes familiar
ly alluded to by this sobriquet. Like
Greeley, Mr.. Forney experiences great
difficulty in reading his own writing
when it grows cold.
The writer remembers on one occa-
sion imparting piece of intelligence
to the Colonel which he concluded to
send as a Especial to the Press. and
accordingly he wrote a message on a
telegraphic blank while in his room in
the hotel at which he was putting up,
and, after finishing it, sent it down
stairs to the operator. The lightning
manipulation vainly endeavored to uin-
derstand it, and finally in pure desper-
alton, for your thoroughbred operator
hates to acknowledge himself cornered
in a thing of this nature, walked up
stairs with it to have it translated.
Scarcely half an hour had elapsed be-
tween the time the dispatch was writ
ten and when it was returned to the
Colonel, yet he could not decipher it,
and had not the remotest idea of its
contents. The opportune return of
the writer furnished Mr.. Forney with
a clue, having obtained which he man
aged to unravel his own hieroglyphics.
An occurrence which actually took
place during the time that Forney
conducted the Chronicle is also related
by an employe of the paper, and as it
never has appeared in print it will
doubtless prove interesting to most
readers. 1t happened upon the occa-
sion of a visit of a delegation of fire.
men from neighboring city. The
" fire laddies," after their parade was
over, concluded to serenade the
Chronicle Office with their band. The
design was carried into execution. and
Col. Forney made speech in response
to the compliment. Not caring to
trouble the reporter to report his re-
marks, he made them out and handed
them to the reporter to work in with
the description Of the remainder of the
demonstration. Instead of using it
for this purpose the wicked Fabel
slave deliberately carried it to a restau-
rant and gave the proprietor to under
stand that it was an order to entertain
the iiremen. The boys were brought
in and treated very handsomely, the
best the establishment afforded being
Sc. out for them. a short time after a
bill was brought in to Col. Forney,
which of course he repudiated, on the
groand that he had never contracted
it. The supposed order was produced,
when after good deal Of labor its
true character was developed. The
restaurant-keeper still mourns over the
undersigned liberality manifested by
him, and the reporter has since aban-
doned the profession. He was too
smart for the business, and has gone
into something that is more adapted to
his style and congenial to his tastes

tains the following card:
To the people of the United States:
The undersigned merchants, bankers and
businessmen of New York respectfully SUBJ
nit the following statements for the infor.
nation of all parties interested therein:
In 1865, Aug 81 :, the National debt reached
its maximum amount 81, 756 ,43l ,59l. 49, re-
duced, June 80, 1876, to 2,099, 439, 3+i99, a
reduction during this period of eleven years
since the war of 5000 992, 246 A.
The annu.. interest charged for TIE fiscal
year ending June 80, 1866, was S13S, 067, 60;
for the past year, ending june 80, 1876,
800, 243, 81. %. Reduction of the annual
interest charged since 1865 of S32, S24 ,470. 46.
The annual expenditures of the Govern
ment in 1876, as compared with 1866, show a
reduction Of S262, $40, 1896, and in Federal
taxation more than 300,000,0o0,
other great results of this financial policy
have been that, despite an Indebtedness of
more than two thousand millions, and while
diminishing taxation, the credit Of the coun-
Try has been raised to the unprecedented
pointthat It's ~ per cent. bonds, issued on
the redemption of the per cents, have been
sellincrapidlv ut home and abroad above
par in gold and the Government has been
enabled every year since 1866 not only to
keep within its income, but to apply an aver
ape annual sum of $50, i42, 2S4.20 toward the
payment of its indebtedness.
a careful consideration of these results of
iudicious management of the National
Treasury during Republican administration
of the Government induces the undersigned
to express their confident belief that con
tinuation of the same general policy, which
has so well sustained our commercial honor
and aided so powerfully in the preservation
of the Union itself, would be best promoted
by the election of Gen. Rutherford Is. Hayes
and William A. Wheeler to the offices of
President and Vice-President of the United
States.

HONORABLE SIR: The 18th of November
will be fraught with great moment to your
people. Upon that day will be determined
whether or not you are to remain
under the yoke of the carpet

the guise Of Republicanism, have been

your hands. You have it in your power to
rid yourselves of your oppressors on that
day, and by rising in your might you can
carry every Southern State for Reform and
good government. Allow no sickly sent-
mentality to interfere in behalf of your plum
dercrs. Drive them with one swoop from
the polls, and, if necessary, deluge the land
with their blood. The loss of even two
Southern States will jeopardize Gov.
Tiden's prospects for election, in which
event you need blame no one but your
selves. Be steady, and freely resolve to put
down Radicalism, and your deliverance is
assured. On the day Of election eyade Grants
