0LoSS 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 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-
ton 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
lustre, and grateful perfume.

The Road to Misery.

One of the most pitiable sights conse-
quent on the general business depression
is that seen every day in some part of
the country, of squad or company of
able bodied men starting off on the delu-
sive search after gold in the Black Hills.
Not more foolish were the Spanish en-
thusiasts who wandered with Ponce De
Leon in search of the Fountain of Youth;
Sor the men who some years ago literally
sunk their money in dredging the Hud-
son River to recover the fabulous treas.
.ure of Capt. Kidd or the simple children
who wandered far from home to find the
pot gold hid at the end of the rainbow
In fact all these seekers after the unat-
tainable were wise compared with the
Black Hills enthusiasts, for the latter are
tramping the certain road to hunger,
and renury, and misery. Already 5000
desperate men have struggled through
the winters SHOWS and frosts, and find
themselves homesick and wretched in
that bleak and barren country, and these
are but the advance guards of the col
umns that are now on their way, or are
likely to pour into the desert when spring
fairly sets in. Facts and arguments
seem utterly useless to check the mad
rush, and yet all reliable testimony proves
the folly OF the dreams Of wealth which
inspire the crusade. A distinguished
army officer, who has made an official
tour of the region, recently stated through
s.he public press his conviction that those
already there were not making the most
meager day wages, and drew a painful
picture of the want and wrctchedncss
already Astounding. A St. Paul paper
gives the experience Of a returned "Black
Hitler" WHO says that one of the best
claims does not yield more than one-tenM
ct cent to the pan, and that with hard
work, the average days earnings is from
80 to rs cents, while the cost Of living is,
Of course, enormously increased. The
same witness says thGt many of the i'm
migrants are without blankets, nipple
ments and other necessaries, and that
the hardship and suffering alrerdy ex-
perienced is terrible. A great part of the
adventures are criminals, confidence
men, desperadoes, who will live by plum
Ter and violence if they can. Hunger,
poverty, disappointment, and crime will
seen convert this inhospitable region in
to an organized HE'LL" and the decent
men will fare the hardest.
Meantime the newspapers and cores
pondents in the frontier towns, whose
traders are reaping rich harvest by
tinue to feed the crazy excitement by
false accounts, and the stream of I'M
happy men still flows on to meet the pun
istment of its credulity.-Chicago Post

Joaquin Miller.

FIRST FAMLIES OF THE SIERRAS. By Joa
quin Miller. author of Songs of the Sierras,
Songs of the sun Lands" etc. Emo, Cloth,
$50. Chicago: Jansen McClurg & Co.
This volume, VIC believe, Is the first at
tempt of Mr.. Miller at Prose literature,
and he has made decided hit. He has
"struck a lead" which if properly work
ed will pan out" well.
The First Families" is an interesting
story of life in the Far West in the early
day, and the reader is bound to admire
the honesty and sturdiness of the miners,
and their chivalrous regard for woman.
There are great many different char
actcrs lortrayed, and Mr.. Miller has
shown rare skill in depicting them under
various circumstances. There is just
enough tragedy in the book to give it
seasoning and make in spicy.
The description of the wedding is very
amusing, while some parts of the book
are worthy of our best Essayists. What
is more true than the following:
NO man need silt himself up, or seek
applause, or friends in high places, or
loud praise. If he belongs to the front
he will get there in time, AID will remain
there when he arrives. If he does not,
there is but little need for him to l,ush
and bride and bother at all about it. He
will only stand up in the light long
enough TO show to the world that some
one has escaped from the woodcut of a
comic almanac, or the Geological Gardens,
and will then sink back, to end his life
in complaining of hard treatment and
lack of appreciation.
There are many other passages we
might select had We room. Taken as a
whole, the book is one well worthy of a
large circulation, and the author was
most fortunate in his selection of pub

Railway Fares to the Centennial.

From people who reside near Philadel-
phia and from those who live far away,
we hear and receive seedlings and grum-
blrngs concerning the rate of fare during
the Centennial adopted by the Railroad
Ticket Agents Convention held some
time ago at Louisville, Ky. Similar
seedlings and complaints come from or
.glnized societies, companies and clubs
who proposed to visit the Exhibition
The rate of fare adopted for the through
lines is but twenty-five per cent off the
usual single fare. This is treating The
great national festival with less consider
a;ion than country cattle show, or an
EXCURSION to Watkins Glen or the NAM
moth Cave, or the Thousand Islands of
tie st. Lawrence, or the Switchback
I.silroad. The people who make these
complaints have reason for them, and
especially as some of them say that the
Railway Companies who are supposed to
have been made parties to the compact
by the ill-adviscd action of their ticket
agent, are already undertaking and I'M
dercutting each other in nearly all cases
where excursion parties have the option
of rival lines by which to start on their
way to Philadelphia. As some folks at a
distance may suppose that the great rail-
ways ccntering in Philadelphia sympa-
tllize with the lllibcral rates Of fare re-
ferred to, it is right to say that almost
without exception they do not sympa-
liiize with that movement. The Nations
liundredth Anniversary is entitled to at
least as much consideration as an ordi-
nary holiday, and the Exhibition which
j. to be the crest teacher Of this genera
ton should be held to be of at least as
much dignity as a county fair, to which
parties may go and return for half fare

parallel: '"The people Of the United

stolen by Buchanan's Secretary of the

gress and in the press declare with ride
ulous solemnity that Belknap's crime is
unprecedented in tie history of this or
