color, aoath the gloss and freshness Of
youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will present the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandruff, which is
often SO uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
aHAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not

glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Eiremen's Dance.

On Wednesday night was the Firemcns Ball,
ot Willis's. which proved to he a big success.
The festivities of the Firemen began during the
afternoon and especially at $40 when they met
their guests from Strcator and conducted them
70 the Clifton These numbered about - in uni
form-a very handsome one, which made our
BOYS feel rather poorly clad marching side
by side with them. They were accompa-
MED by a fine martial band who so thoroughly
worked mp our martial band who also were out,
that they thereupon Immediately and solemnly
sworc never to come out again-,ill some one
paid them again. The Streator boys made a
fine showing, being strong, well built, and
hardy looking set of men, Our boys are gener-
ally much smaller in size but we know fully
equal to all emergencies
In the evening Willis's Hall was soon filled to
its utmost capacity, by one of the jolliest crowds
ever gathered together. Every one seemed
bent on having good time and making his
neighbor enjoy it also, and we reckon all did.
The dancing continued till late hour when the
large crowd dispersed, not one unpleasant thin9
having occurred to mar the evening, for at all
times the order was perfect and the conduct Of
every one perfectly gentemanly.
Our Streator friends, who left by an early
morning train, say that they had splendid time
and were highly pleased with their visit If they
were as much so as our boys were with their Wis
it to Streator some time ago, the managers of
this Ball ought to feel elated
The supper was served at the lie Bon-Ton,
which though run to its full capacity, was fully
equal to the occasion, so we had t'co square meals
on Thanksgiving Day
The result pecuniarly is gratifying, and the
Department feel constrained to return their
thanks to the citizens for the interest manifested
in the Balls success.

The Eastern Question.

In our last it was mentioned that Lord Sal
lsbury the British plenipotentiary to the pro
y,osed Conference at Constantnople, had left
England and was on his way to that city. II
seems he travel By somewhat circuitous
goqte. We hayenotices of his arrival at Rome
,0f his having an interview with Count An
Grassy at Vienna, and of his having talk
with Bismarck at Berlin. His Lordship is
evidently feeling his way with care and when
&c enters the Conference has no intention OF
tsesng taken by surprise 1t is officially
reported from ST. Petersburg that the upshot
Of his talk with Andrassy and Bismarck was,
that Russia, in her present movements look
zng to the occupation of Bulgaria and seek
Eng guarantees for the autonomy OF the TURK
ssh provinces in Europe, is proceeding entire
ly in accord with her understanding with
Germany and Austria If Turkey proposes
20 reject every proposal of autonomy and oc'
eapation, and England to support her in that
attitude, the two will probably have the sat
ssfaction of protesting against about every
r-oin. offered for discussion in the Conference,
which can thus have but one issue: England
must assent to the autonomy and Russian oc-
eapation of the provinces and thus aid IN
compelling the assent of Turkey, or she must
;:xkc sides with Turkey against the other pow
,ers and resist the Russian occupation. 1t is
net regarded as probable that England, in
apite of the apparently anti. Russian attitude
II htr ministry thus TAR, will place herself in
the latter position, but, on the contrary, will
.fssentto what, instead of Russian occupation,
will be mellowed down to the less offensive
zane of" collective occupation all the pow
ers dividing the responsibility, though Russia
alone may furnish the army. Thus deserted
by England, it is believed Turkey Will quiet
Jy submit, having no otLer alternative but to
.7ght Russia alone.
