sive use, has proven that it stops the falling
of the hair Immediately; often renews the
growth; and always surely restores its color,
when faded or gray. 1t stimulates the nutri-
tive organs to healthy activity, and preserves
both the hair and its beauty. Thus brashy,
weak or sickly hair becomes glossy, pliable
and strengthened; lost hair regrows with
lively expression falling hair is checked and
established thin hair thckens; and faded or
gray hairs resume their original color Its
operation is sure and harmless. It cures
dandruf, heals all humors, and keeps the
scalp cool, clean and soft-under which con-
difions diseases of the scalp are impossible.
As dressing for ladies' hair, the VIGoR is
praised for its grateful and agreeable perfume,
and valued for the soft Iustre and richness of
tone it imparts.

AN extra from the Boise Statesman

AN extra from the Boise Statesman
SAYS that terrible battle was fought
at the mouth of Cottonwood, few
days ago. Howard met the Indians
in force at the mouth of Cottonwood,
and opened fire upon them with how
tiers, gattling guns and rifles. The
Indians were driven from their posi-
ton. They were intrenched behind
stone breastworks and long barri-
cades. Night came on after seven
hours fighting, and operations were
suspended till morning, when the
fight was resumed. The Indians at
first retook the spring where the
camp was. Captain Bancroft ad,
vanced on them with artillery and
drove them from their position. They
then broke and ran. They have prob
ably gone to the Snake river country.
Towards loss was eleven killed and
twenty-four wounded, including Cap
tain Bancroft and Lieutenant Will.
Jams, both badly wounded. Upon the
field was found thirteen dead Indians,
and some wounded. The Indian force
Il
is estimated at three hundred warri
ors. The courier says the Indians
fought desperately. They were strip
ped to the skin and tied to their
horses. In the Indian force were on
ly the warriors and young squaws
each warrior having an extra horse
besides his war horse.
On the 10th inst. Joseph and his
band surprised party of thirty-one
Cinnamon who were coming down the
Clearwater in canoes, and killed al
but one, who managed to escape
These are the first Cinnamon molested
and many of the Celestials are fright
ened out Of their senses.
On July 18th the principal matter
considered at the Cabinet meeting
was the Indian troubles. The mem
bers regard it as important that ev

"THE system of unnecessary en-
croachment on the Indians and the
protectorate assumed by our govern
ment over them-the supplies of pro-
visions, clothes. and money-led to
another fatal supply, that of arms
and ammunition. The reports come in
again and again that the Indians are
better armed than the whites. And
here now, in answer to a requisition
from the Governor of Idaho, General
Howard is authorized to furnish not
more than 500 muskets "of the old
pattern" with not more than IS rounds
to each musket. Is this right? Is it
fair to say to the frontier men: "Or-
game yourselves into militia; go and
face the Indians; we'll give you an old
pattern musket to face the enemy with
his new.fashioned breech-loader. But
"A q
you can make up in tact and courage
for the inferiority of the weapon we
put in your hands," Is not that virtu-
ally the meaning of the foregoing ''or-
der?" -.., a
A great deal might be done even yet
to arrest this state of things, if we
had only the PERCEPTION to see and the
justice to do it. But it is rather con-
trary that the men who have the pre-

wrecked off the west coast, near Perth;
a small boat had been capsized in the
surf, and women. and children were
struggling in the water On the crest
of a precipitous cliff appeared the.
figure of a young lady on horseback.
To the sailors on the stranded vessel
lit seemed utterly impossible that a
horse and it's rider should be able to
descendthat precipice. But the young
lady never faltered. q She plunged
down at full speed, and, reaching the
shore, spurred Der horse into the boil

roaring breakers. With splendid
pluck she dashed through them and
reached the boat, to which the alright.
ed women and children were clinging.
Her horse stumbled over hawser
which stretched between the wreck
and a small boat; but she chung to
the saddle, and brought the women
and children to land. There was still
man left on board the boat. She
plunged into the breakers again and
brought him safe to the shore. While
those whom she had saved were res
cuing those who remained on the
wreck, the heroic girl drenched with
the sea-foam and halffainting with ia
tigue, galloped dozen miles home to
have relief sent to the half-drowned,
halfnaked folks whom she had left on
the beach. Her sister, Mrs. Brock
man, took horse, galloped that night
through the woods to the shore, TAX

bassador, Lord Shaftesbury asked, on

of the embassy as to whether opium
smoking was really so baneful, and its
progress SO great national calamity
as the society believed it to be. In
reply the ambassador said that the
use of the drug was a very great evil,
and that the Chinese government was
perfectly sincere in its desire to put a
stop to it; hut that in large country
like China, where it's use had become
almost universal, it was subject sur

"The use of opium in China said

more rapidly than that of alcoholic
drinks in this country, and the diff

ONE of our India correspondents
writes to us: Among the social Pc
culiarities of Rajpootana, leper burial
is entitled to notice. When leper
is past all hope of living more than
few days or weeks, his nearest rela-
tons arrange, with his approval, for
his immediate interment. Self-des-
truction by burial is called sam,adh,
and is regarded as SO highly meritori-
Gus that the disease is sure to die out
in the family of the victim. So lately
as 1875 leper named Oomah, living
and lingering at Scroll, entreated his
wife to put an end to his misery. A
Bunnia, or tradesman, was according
ly engaged to make the necessary ar
rangements, which simply consisted in
hiring q couple of laborers to dig a
hole, into which they thrust Oomah,
consenting to his own death. The du-
bar, coerced by the British Govern
ment. at length took cognizance of
this incident, and fined the witness 100
rupees. The Bunnia was sentenced
to three years. Imprisonment, and the
grave-diggers each to two years, but
it is very unlikely that they will un-
dergo half that punishment.-PaH

Many hearts have been broken
And bitter tears shed

Many hearts have been broken
And bitter tears shed
BY that word which is spoken
And fore'er must be said.
'Tis but a clasp of the hands
A fond, loving glance,
Ere we part for new lands
That diverge our path hence.
We part with the prayer
That our life's bark will float
AS calmly and safely
AS does the life-boat;
The hope that in future
Well meet once again
Cheers our sad nature
With a welcoming strain.
Oh, could we see clearly
Through the vista that's spread
'Twixt us and our future,
We'd bitter tiers shed,
For it's seldom we meet,
In this pOpulous sphere,
Those we'd fain again greet
And forever hold dear.
IT'S consoling to know
That we'll lastly abide
Where there's little of woe,
And no sorrows abide
Where the sad word good-by
Will never be known,
For God can view all
From His infinite throne.
