Every year increases the popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up TO
its high standard; and it is the on
" reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, bv its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruf, and, by its tonic proper
ties, 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, il restores the capillary
Glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DEEssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. a. A. Hayes,

sets, says, "The constituents are

which they fashion into raft and float

present when the appointment of JUS

May 81.
New York, May 26th,-.The British press
commenting upon the present aspect Of the
Eastern question, IS favourable Of its being
slbmitted to a general conference.
Dispatches from Vienna state that England
has affirmed that Count Andrassy's original
note reached the extent of the concessions re-
quired from the contending parties, as we'll as
the limit of foreign intervention, but sufficient
time had not been allowed for its application
and that breaches of neutrality on the part Of
Montenegro prevented pacifcatiOn, nor could it
be secured by means of gigantic and gratuitous
relief which would be financially impossible and
morally destructive.
A demand has been made to The Sultan TO de-
post five millions sterling in the treasury, to
reduce his civil list, to establish q national
Council, and to appoint a European Minister
of Finance.
In London the Insecurity with which the
Eastern question is viewed has produced a
depressing effect on foreign securities.

On the subject of the late Disturbances at
Blrbad 8 the ST. Vincent Witness makes
the following remarks:
&" Things have quoted down at Barbados
but we believe when crop operations are at eud,
mass of the population out of employment, the
accumulation of every day misery among the
masses must cause diurnally a fresh incentive
to the already darkened picture of Barbados
affairs and bring about further Outrages by q
literally starving people. AS there can be no
effect without a cause, the British Government
must now trace the evil to its source and our
belief is that that source will be found in the
action of the anti. confederates by their stumping
the country with excitable addresses, instead Of
leaving the subject to be determined, c%onstitu-
tionally and independently, by the legislature.
Malicious untruths were, with an energy sur
prising to strangers, promulgated with as much
inSouciance, as to consequences Of a disturbance,
as any one would get up for jollity. If we are
to judge by the light of the structures Of nearly
the entire Press, on the point-and the cautious
remarks of Mr.. Reeves, in the Assembly, warn
ing his countrymen to maintain order,-hoW isit
possible with all our desire to refrain from enter
ing into the controversy, we cannot avoid saying
that the lawless conduct Of the oppositionists
to the federation scheme, should have been put
down at the outset, instead Of obtaining moral
support from the manifest Indifference of the
better informed members of the community"
from the Antigua Ne,0 Era.)
