gloss 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 viii 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 dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious 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.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
iustre, and a grateful perfume.

Death Of Mr.. Irving Beaumont.

Mr.. Irving Beaumont, heshooting of
whom we recorded three weeks ago,
died at the residence of his sister, Mrs.
Wisdom, on Tuesday evenin, g at 8
o'clock. He had been suffering the
night before and on that day from the
accumulation of mucus In the wind
pipe and lungs which his paralysis dis
abled him from coughing up. A post
nsorten examination was made on the
morning after death, which showed
that the ball passed between the second
and third vertebr1 of the neck. with
out dividing the spinal marrow. This
would not be the proper vehicle tor
discussing the cause of death which
will be done in one of the Medical
Journals of the day.
Irving Beaumont may be taken as a
typicalrepresentative of Southern char
acter. Warm in attachments, quick in
resentment. brave, sensitive and impet-
GUS, he conciliated the warmest friend
ships and incurred the most bitter en-
mites of any man in our acquaintance,
and he requited both friendship and
enmity with compound interest: the
epitaph of Themistocles might well be
written on his tomb Bid them write
on the stone which covers me, said the
hero of Salamis, that here lies a
Greek who has helped his friends and
hurt his enemies more than any other
living or dead"
But Mr.. Beaumont is gone, and we
will cherish in our hearts his noble
traits and warm affections, and all
harsher qualities shall be buried in his
grave.
His funeral, on Thursday morning
was very largely attended both by his
own personal friends and those of his
family; the services being conducted
with solemnity and feeling by the Rev
r. K. Brown, assisted by the the Rev
DR.. Plummer and the Rev. 7. j. Dun

Springfield. The body of Nicholas
was hidden by the two assassins, and
subsequently discovered by a dog.
Poole was sentenced to 10 or 10 years
Imprisonment about two years ago.
Mehaffey had three trials. The first
ended In his conviction of murder in

We clip the following notice and
tribute of the death of Rev. HI. o.
Crane, from the Southern Churchman,
of Alexandria. Va. Mr.. Fl. 0. Crane
was the son of Rev. w. G. Crane,
D. d., once hector of Trinity, church,
in this city, where he has many friends
to sympathise with him in his sore
troubles:
1.-The Rev. Heber Otey Crane, rector
of St. Stephens church, Sherman,
Texas, died suddenly on September Sd /,
from supposed disease of the heart,
aged %.
Mr.. Crane was the son of the Rev.
W. G. Crane, D. D., of Jackson, Miss.
He had given himselif as pioneer to
to the missionary work, but has fallen
as every faithful worker would desire
to do, with his harness on.
His father, the Rev. DIR. Crane, long
pressed with care and labor, had been
stricken down ia his chancel during
service, and at the urgent request Of
his people, came to New York for med
ical advice. Here he received the sad
news of the death of his son, which ag-
gravated his disease, it being mainly
prostration of the nervous system gen.
orally. His hopes not being realized,
he is on his return by slow stages to his
home in Mississippi, there to await the
will of the Lord.

be raised to pay the State debt, what
ever they might amount to, and held
the opinion that go cents on the 800
would be required. On that occasion,
the section which Squire E. represents
had objected to the GO cts. but was
ready to compromise at 30 cts. After
that the State Democratic convention
came to the conclusion that nothing
more than 40 cts, could be raised. This
took away from Squire f. all excuse
for dividing the Democratic party, for
it proposed even less than he was will
ing to give at first; but his present po-
sition shows that it is his main object
to divide and defeat the Democracy,
to which nevertheless he affirms his
adhesion; aud indeed it has been
stated on good authority that the
Squire has said that he will stay on the
track though it should end in the cleo
ton of radical.
Democrats therefore have to choose
between Judge Smith, known Demo-
crat, and Conrad Frederick convicted
as an ally of the Radical party.
Mr.. Johnson's speech was received
with loud applause by the whole as
semblage.

TRIBUTE TO WIN. M. KERR.

Board met at City Hall at II o'clock, a. m.
October 18th, Mayor Sullivan presiding,
who explained that he had convened them
that appropriate action might be taken,
and proper respect shown the memory of
the late w. NJ. KERR. Aldermen Johnson,
Graham and Munford were appointed a
committee on resolutions, who reported
the following
WHEREAS, VIM. NJ. Kerr, long and up to
within the past few days a member of this
Board, departed this life on the 18th inst;
and
WHEREAS, He ever manifested lively
interest in everything tending towards the
prosperity of his fellow-citizens, ever de-
porting himself both as an officer of the
city, in commercial and the private circle
in manner such as to secure to himself
the friendship of all, and even the affec-
tion of large number ofthose with whom
he was in daily contact. Therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of VIM. M.
Kerr, we recognize the loss of one who ever
had the public interest at heart, and one
who, by his uniform urbanity and kind
ness, had endeared himself to us to that
degree, that his sudden death, occurring as
1T did, before attaining to the prime of life,
has filled us with profound sorrow.
Resolved, That the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen, of the city of GAINESVILLE. tend
er his family our heartfelt coincidence in
this sad bereayment.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
on the minutes, and that the Recorder be,
and is instructed to furnish the family with
copy of the same.

A STARTLING RUMOR.
Proposed Substitution of Grant for
Hayes.
Louisville Courier-JournaI.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
A shadowy but startling rumor
reaches us that the Republican mana
gers, made desperate and reckless by
the unexpected loss of Indiana, on
which they confidently relied, are dis
cussing most astonishing coup. This
is no less than the withdrawal of Hayes
from their National ticket and the
substitution of Grant in his place.
The meaning of this would be revolu-
ton. The party of fraud and force,
feeling itself beaten, knows that its
only resort is the bayonet and martial
tial law, vigorously enforced by the
man in possession. 1t is thought by
those who are urging this measure that
violence can be made to count for more
than after the election, and they argue
that nobody but Grant can carry out
the scheme. The Republican ma nagers
see that Hayes is beaten. There is
not a ghost Of a chance for him with a
fair election.
This is Chandler's scheme. It comes
to US from a quarter which may be
called reliable. That it is seriously
debated among Republican leaders is
undoubted. Whether they will dare
to undertake it remains to be seen.
Our opinion is that they will not. But
when such men are driven to the wall
there is no knowing what they will do.
