color, aoith 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. It's
occasional use will present 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 formation of dandruff, which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tons dangerous, and injurious 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. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich,
glossy lustre, and grateful perfume.

New York MilliOnaireS,

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says: Commodore
Vanderbilt is easily reached. Any one
can get an interview with him who de-
sires it. 81. B. Clafin, the great dry
goods king, occupies small Office in
his great establishments, and customers
and clerks go in and out while he is
there with the utmost freedom. Mr..
Claflin often confers with his clerks and
junior partners at their desks, and is ap-
preached by the firms patrons as readily
as If he was one of the salsemen. VIM.
B. Astor was another man always ready
to see any one who called upon him in
his business Office on Prince street.
Commodore Garrison has an Office on
Bowling Green, where his steamship
business has long been done, and, pro-
vided he has no person with him at the
moment, can be seen for the asking.
Jay Gould is always busy, but visitors
by taking their turn can see him at any
time.
The leading bank presidents are ac-
cessible to anybody who may call upon
them.
The heads of the dry goods firms of
Arnold & Constable and Lord & Taylor
can be seen at any time by sending in a
card or a name. Indeed, our busiest
men are real democrats, and as a cat
may look at king, 80 may the humblest
citizen secure an audience with the
richest without hindrance.
The nearest kin to A. T. Stewart in
the Tycoon business is James Gordon
Bennett. He has a corps of watchmen
and doorkeepers keeping off the rabble,
and after passing three or four waiting
rooms he may be seen.

Centennial Notes.

France appropriates $4,000 to send
mechanics of every class to the Centen-
NAL. All French industries, including
agriculture, will be represented in the
delegation.
The Centennial commissioners are
very liberal with passes. Of the large
attendance on the first day only 76,2l6
paid their money, and since that time
this number has run down to 10, 1000 and
$4,000.
The non-paying attendants are now
announced as IL, 600 in number among
the exhibitors and their assistants, 1,511
among the general officials, 225 among
the judges, 100 more to the State boards,
and over 500 to the press.
A pretty pavilion has been built by
the Portuguese government nearly op-
posite the Pennsylvania educational
building. 1t is one story high within
and two without, and is surrounded by
wide piazzas. The Portuguese commits
sioners have their Offices here.
There are two French restaurants on
the grounds. One of them goes on the
principle that nobody will be caught
in it the second time, and that it must
therefore get all the money it can out of
chance customers who have been drawn
to it by its famous name. The other is
obviously kept by an Americanized
Frenchman.
The partial relief to visitors to the
Exhibition which was given by the abo-
lition of the rule requiring two fifty
cent notes Cor pieces) for two persons
instead of one dollar, has been receded
from by the managers. They still insist
upon the fifty cent fraction. They do
this, they say, because of the greater
facility in handling crowds and detect
ing counterfeits.
The parade of the Knights Templars
in June will, if the programme and
promise of numbers in attendance is
fulfilled, be the most gorgeous in the
annals of Masonry. Some rate the num-
Der of expected Knights at more than
twenty thousand, exclusive of the Phila-
delphia organizations. Minor vista
tions of military societies, press clubs,
ETC., will greatly diversity the scene
until the great day on which Mr.. Evarts
is to enliven it with his oration.

A Dying Lover Married.

An unusual marriage took place in
Omaha, Neb. the parties thereto being
Spencer Wright and Miss Bessie
Roberts, daughter of United States
Deputy Collector John Roberts. The
CEREMONY took place at the house where
the young man boarded, as he was too
i'll to be removed elsewhere. The Rev.
l.. F. Britt, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church, performed the ceremony.
Mr.. Wright has been failing in health
very rapidly of late, and the physicians
here having given him up, his father,
who is u merchant tailor in New York
city, arrived to take his son home to
die of consumption. Miss Roberts, to
whom young Wright has long been
affianced, decided to 60 East with her
dying lover, and give him all the care
and attention that her love could prompt
in his dying hours, and the better to
enable her to care for him, she decided
to have the marriage ceremony per.
formed before the journey to New York
was undertaken. While the wedding
was sad in its attendant circumstances,
it was ightened up with the great cheer
fulness manifested by the bride in tax
ing up her labor Of love.

Advertising Patent Medicines.

Advertisements of patent medicines
furnish support to many so-called reli-
gious papers. Not few of them would
perish but for the aid they receive from
medical quackery. Hence the impor-
tance of the movement in the Baltimore
conference to exclude these advertise
ments from the organs of the Methodist
denomination. OF the quacks who thus
advertise, there are some whose medi-
clues are injurious to the men, women,
aud children who use them; and we often
see, in the so called religious papers,
quack medicine advertisements which
are an outrage upon decency. II religion
be a matter Of truth, show can its organs
sustain themselves by such falsehoods 2

Presence of Mind.

"Dora" was being enacted in a
Western city where the choice of actors
is not great. and Mary Morrison, on
making her exit to bring on her little
Willie. of four years, was shocked to
find a lubberly boy of at least fourteen,
who must go on, as no other was to be
had. The Farmer Allen of the play was
no doubt equally shocked to see Mary
coming upon the stage with boy near
ly as big as herself. Whist was worse,
the audience began to litter. But Farm
er Allen was equal to the emergency,
and instead of asking "How old are
you, my little boy2" said: elbow old
are you, my strapping fellow2" proba-
bly, hoping that the boy would have the
good sense to give an age more suitable
to his size. The boy, however, with
painful fidelity to the book, and in a
sepulchral voice that made the answer
all the more preposterous, said "Four
to five, grandpapa." "Forty-five %
exclaimed the other, cheerfully "you
look it, my boy, you look it ~ There
was laugh at the moment, but the
play was saved from shipwreck. 1t was
told of a famous tragedian that at the
close of an act in which he had been the
prominent character, q goose's head was
thrown upon the stage by some one who
had spite against him. The tragedian
picked it up, handed it to one of the
others to take away, and said, with per-
feet nonchalance: "The gentleman
who has thrown his head upon the stage
can get it back at the close of the per
formance."

Sandwich Islands Surf Bathing.

Says a writer: It is very exciting,
but the sea was not very rough. The
Surf board is o rough plank shaped like
a coffin lid, about two feet broad and
from six to nine feet long. The men,
dressed only in malos, carrying their
boards under their arms waded out
from the rocks ON which the surf was
breaking, and, pushing their boards be-
fore them, SWAN out to the first line of
breakers, and then, diving down, were
seen no more till they reappeared as q
number of black heads bobbing about
like corks in the water. What they seek
is very high roller, on the top Of which
they leap from behind. diving face
downward ON their boards. As the
waves speed on and the bottom strikes
the ground the top breaks In hinge
comber. The swimmers appeared pos
ing themselves on it's highest edge by
deIterous movements of their hands and
feet, keeping just at the top Of the curl,
but always apparently coming down hill
with slanting motion. So they rode In
majestically, always just ahead OF the
breaker, carried sboreward by its mighty
impulse at the rate of forty miles an
hour, yet seeming to have o vohion OF
their own, as the more daring riders
knelt and even stood on their surf
boards, waving their arms and uttering
exultant cries. They were always ap-
parently on the verge of ingulfment by
the fierce breaker whose towering white
crest was ever above and just behind
him; but just as one expected to 500
them dashed to pieces, they either waded
quietly ashore, or, sliding of their
boards, dived under the surf, taking ad-
vantage Of the undertow, and were next
seen far out at sea, preparing for fresh
exploits. The great art seems to be to
mount the roller precisely at the right
time, and to keep exactly on its crest
lust before il breaks. G i

The Cost of PIumage.

There is no lady deserving of the
name who could witness without feel
ing of horror the process of preparing
for use the feathered beauties which
form such conspicuous ornaments in the
present style of women's hats. If those
who wear such ornaments knew the
tortures to which these helpless little
creatures are subjected, and the heart
less cruelty with which the business is
carried on, they would shrink from even
indirect completely in it. OF course the
impression prevails that all birds used
for personal decoration are killed inn
mediately when caught and prepared in
the ordinary way by ta1idermists !; but
here is where the mistake is made. The
birds are taken alive, and while living
the skin is skillfully stripped from their
quivering, ghastly bodies. By this pro-
cess it is claimed the feathers retain a
firmer hold upon the skin. Such is the
method by WHICH all birds used in the
decoration of ladies' hats are prepared.
Think of the exquisite humming bird,
the blue bird, the cardinal bird, the
oriole, and numberless others of beauti-
full plumage, struggling beneath the
knife of the heartless operator think of
this, tender hearted ladies, as your ad-
miring gaze rests on the latest novelties
in fashion by which our city bellies are
crownedl Hundreds of thousands of
birds of the brightest plumage are liter
ally fayed alive every year, and 80 long
as our ladies will consent to wear such
ornaments, just so long will this cruel
business continue. The Baroness Bur
dette. Coutts has placed herself at the
head of movement in England de-
signed to put an end TO the brutal bust
ness, and it is to be hoped that she will
meet with cordial encouragement and
co operation on this side of the Atlantic.

To THE PUBLIC: Would you like to

must feel so badly that no matter what
is to come hereafter, it is more endura-
BILE than the present; and secondly, he
must feel that, more enGurable or not,
he cannot help the act; that If even the
future is worse than the present, the
present is uncomfortable. I suppose
medical men would like to know just the
mental condition of one who can shuttle
OFF this mortal coil.
1t is this: My nerves and senses are
as sound as they ever were. I can attend

realize that the chief end Of man is to
