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 new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent 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 forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly 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 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
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Oddly enough, it was in his sixtieth
year that DO was elected to the senate.
Previousto that he had held various po-
sitions from the Democratic party, but
could scarcely be deemed to rank among
the great men of the State. Still, in the
race against Frank Blair, immeasurably
his superior in ability and prominence,
he was from tho FIRST confident of sue.
cess, and took his election to the senate
by the remarkable Missouri legislature of
1873 as a matter OF course. His belief
in the destiny Of the thing was remark
able.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR
WASHINGTON.

We find evidence in our exchanges every
day that the advantages Of Washington rs
q manufacturing and commercial city are
attracting great deal OF attention through
ont the country. Our people should be
prepared to meet the business overtures of
capitalists who are seeking for opportuni-
tics to make profitable and safe investments,
and are now considering the merits Of this
locality.
Both on this account and in order that
systematic measures may be adopted for
advancing the business interests of the city
in every possible manner, n Chamber of
Commerce should be organized at once.
There is much legislation needed for the
benefit of this city which can only be efec-
lively presented by such an official body.
Besides, it is not improbable that the bust
ncss of Washington will greatly expand
within the next year, 80 that there will be
an abundance Of legitimate business for n
Chamber OF Commerce.
While our merchants and manufacturers
are looking after the material interests of
the city our men Of culture should not for
get to organize for the purpose of promot-
ing the interests of art and literature in the
National Capital They should take upon
themselves the task of bringing to the at
tention of Congress the importance of en-
dowing the National University. This is
hut an act of justice TO the District. All
the States in the Union have received land,
| from the General Government for the en-
d0wmcnt of colleges and universities, ant
this District should demand the sam,
favor.
