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 q 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 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 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 a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

WASHINGTON
Conference at the White House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Secretaries
of State and War and the Attorney General
were summoned to a conference with the
President at an early hour this morning. It
has not transpired what is the meaning of
this unusual proceeding, though IL is
believed to have reference to Louisiana
affairs, Last night delegation of Senators
anu Representatives called upon the Presi-
dent to urge action.
The President did not indicate to them
what he would do, though to personal
friend, in conversation subsequently, he
stated that he felt great inaisposition to
taking any teps at all. He was not aware
what might be the policy of his successor.
The President said that he would not say
definitely, even under these circumstances
that he would not act. If he did, he said
that it would have to be for Packard, as the
Louisiana Returning Board, whose canvass
of votes for the electors was recognized by
the Electoral Tribunal was legal. The
Louisiana delegation called this morning:
but the President declined to see them unit
tomorrow.
1t appears that the Kellogg and Packard
party in Louisiana fear pressure on Hayes
to bring about solution inimical to their
interest, hence their desire to secure actor
before the expiration of the present term.

The OMah0ny Demonstraff0n In Ire
land

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-A London despatch
says the transfer of the remains OF John
O'Mahony to Irelaud is exciting good
deal of attention here, and the Irish Ma
tionalist are availing themselves OF the oc-
casion to make funeral demonostra-
tiOn against British rule in Ireland. The
preparations are on an an extensive scale.
The fact that DR.. Denis Bowling Mulcahy,
one ofthe most uncomprosing of the ex~
Fenian prisoners, has been chosen by the
Irish American Nationalist as the chairman
of the delegation accompanying the body to
Ireland, is looked upon as an indication of
the decidedly pronounced character inten-
ded to be given to the demonstration. Com,
mittees have sprung up in every town in
Ireland, and along the line of route the
preparations for the reception Of the body
are being pushed with the greatest possible
zeal.
The Catholic Bishop of Cloyne has con-
sented to celebrate g Requiem Mass on the
arrival of the remains.
The Dakota is expected to arrive at
Queenstown from New York Thursday
next, and the landing Of the remains will be
the occasion Of tremendous ovation. A
tender has been placed at the disposal Of
the Cork Reception Committee, and the
body will be transferred to the pro- Cathedral
at Queenstown escorted by grand torch
light procession. It will then be transmit
ted to Cork, where it will lie in state until
Sunday, the 255h, when it will be removed
to Dublin for interment in Glasnevin, exc

to have him buried in tho family church.

look at boots; and while examining and
fitting on the goods displayed before him,
inquired when the down Delaware train
left. mime thirty. .fve," said the dealer.
1t was then nearly an hour to train time.
The Gus omer soon found the kind of boots
he wanted, both in quality and price, but
he wanted pair of tens, while the dealer
had nothing smaller than eleven's. The
small boy in the mean time had been sent
in stores notfar distant to borrow pair.
Nowise daunted he pulled down Eanother
pair of tie same size, casually remark
ing that they were size smaller, soon had

again." said he, 81 will
see if can do better elsewhere" "Not a
bit too large, when you get your feet into
them,' said the dealer. Then, pulling out
his watch, -"Bye-the-by bye, if you want to
catch that Delaware train, you just have
five minutes to reach the depot. You need

old ones for you. Four Dollars. Thank
you. Hurry up and you will be all right.
Good day !" When the man had vanished,
the dealer chuckled softly when he thought
how nicely he had done the countryman.
But he smiled not, when that individual.
finding himself half an hour ahead of time,
came painting back to the store, and in allie
gorical language requested that those boots
should be taken back; and as he was quite
large man his request was granted. The
shoeman now devotes his spare time to

OUR PEACHES.
Den,oltshtn0 OrcIiards-Prospects for the
Nert Year, etc,

Upon either side of the railroad, as one
goes down the State, at every few miles are
evidences of the determination of our fruit
growers to reduce the areas of their Or
chards.
All over the State, and the Peninsula, for
that, the farmers are cutting down por-
tions OF their peach orchards, and getting
ready to plant the ground with grain.
Experience has taught them valuable If
expensive lesson, and the reduction of the
great peach farms Of the State is the esult.
An old fruit grower, whom the writer met
on one of the of the trains few days since,
estimates the reduction at one fifth at least,
from the extent of orchards, three or four
years ago. The result will be that when o
good year comes, the growers can realize a
handsome profit, and when the crop fails,
the land will not all have been donated to
fruit, and the profits of the grain will con-
sole the grower somewhat for the loss of
peaches.
Che weather, so far as we are Informed :,
has been quite favorable for the peach trees
and the prospects at this distant time are
encouraging. The weather is cold enough
to keep back the buds and prevent them
from maturing before the warmer weather
of spring when they will have chance.
With reasonable prospects for fruit next
year, and an increase in the price Of grain,
the farmers down country are not so blue
as they might be, and if the Legislature
adjourns without doing any serious mis-
chief they will have cause to be additionally
thankful.

about Probable Changes A,sOn0 the
Pastors.
The Methodist Episcopal Conference,
the largest body of ministers upon the Pen
insula, will be held at Milford next month,
beginning on the 7th inst.
The most important work of the Confer
ence Is the transfer of ministers from charge
to charge, and there is much speculatiDg AS
to the changes TO be made.
In this city, the important changes will
be made at Union and Grace churches.
1t is generally understood that DR.. Mat
lack now of Middletown, will be stationed
at the former charge and Dr.. Stevenson, of the
Philadelphia Conference at Grace, to take
the place of Mr.. Smith, whose term has ex"
pired.
Mr. Martindale, now of Union is to go
oMiddletown,as as it is said. The folks at New
Castle are after Mr.. Bristor, now of Beth
Ell.
At Dover, Smyrna Milford and Port De-
post, there will probably be no changes
made. Various changes are to be made at
the lower charges, but as they are not
OF so much Importance. they are not so
freely canvassed.
Rev. .Hough presiding Elder OF Dover Dis
trict, who has been i'll at his home at Smy-
rna Of some time for some time has so far
recovered as to resume his duties although
quite weak, and will be present at the Goa
terence Session.
The Milford folks are making prepera-
tions to receive their expected guests and
the town Is somewhat excited over the
event. Conference don't come to town
every year, and they must make the most
OF it.
