Beautiful Hair.

FROM j. A. TYNEs, WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON. n, C.-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife have induced number
to try it, and | want you to send me a
dozen bottles by express. | enclose
postoffice order for IS to pay for it..
London Hair Color Restorer is sold at
IS cents bottle by all leading drug
gists. DR.. Swayne& Son, Philadelphia,

A GENTLE HINT

In our style Of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature,-rain. wind and
sunshine often intermingled in a single
day.-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting directly from this cause.
A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
about your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, large doctors
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs, Group or any disease of
the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply
wonderful, as your druggist will tell you.
Germaa Syrup IS now sold in every town
and village on this continent. Sample
bottles for trial. l0c. regular size, rs.
Sold positively by all druggists.

have access to all the remedies, by appeal
to higher courts and otherwise, which the
laws of the State provide, and he added,
with grim irony, that If the republican
Representatives chose to petition for their
pardon he had no doubt Governor Nichols
would take heed to their request Il is
we'll known that Mr., Gibson has been one
of the most strongly opposed to these pro-
ceedings against the Returning Board, but
he, too, probably feels the gross public
scandal Of seeing such men, SO often and
so publicly discovered in crimes against
justice, continuing to occupy honorable
federal positions in the face of community
which remembers their mlsdeeds. Nor is
it strange that Senator's, seeing Wells and
Anderson safely in the New Orleans Gus
tom House, did not strongly sympathize
with the Presidents wish to eject Arthur
and Cornell from the New York Custom
House.

Groundless Objections.


Some having tried" put up" medicines
without obtaining the relief promised
Unfortunately condemn them. Is this
fair? Suppose Judge should argue that
because the last three prisoners had been
found guilty, he should condemn the fourth
without trial. Is not such reasoning
absurd2 And yet are not those who cond-
emn all medicines, because they have been
deceived in one or two, equally as unjust?

The Bland Silver Bill.

Several amendments to the Bland bill
as it passed the House have been made by
the Senate, which necessitates the return
of the bill to the House for action on the
amendments. The amendments of the
Senate are of character to rather better
the general tenor and effect of the House
bill, and there ought to be no factious
opposition to concurrence with the Senate.
1t is quite time the matter was finally
disposed of; the discussion has been wide and
thorough in both Houses, and no arguments
Of Importance have been omitted upon
either side Of the question; the press have
shown unusual activity in giving to the
public the substance of the congressional
debates, and have with more
than common freedom upon a subjecl
ofthat nature expressed opinions in regard
to it. However blindly demonstration Of
Silver may have been accomplished, there
can be no complaint that the
attempt to refnonetize it has not been duly
presented to public attention, and it may
be readily presumed that the people have
fully made up the general verdict Of the
Nation-and it may be further said tina
the more than two thirds vote in boil
houses of Congress very fairly represent
the judgment of the country, were tn,
question to be submitted to their expires
sion and approval separate and apart from
any other issue, and as a clear and distinc
proposition.

cent and Vim. H. Code, clerks in the

The Clothing trade-Nathan Lieb.
erman as q Clothing Merchant.

l. Inc name OF NaLnan Ll6D6Iman, Jle
great clothing merchant, has become q
a household word, not only in Whining,
Itop and New CATTLE county, but al
Though tile Peninsdla and the adjoin-
| ing counties Of Pennsylvania, Maryland,
and we Cross the river to New Jersey
only to Gnd that he is equally we'll
Known, there being scarcely trip ei
the steamer Alice E. Preston, that does
not bear away some package of cloth
ing from this Justly celebrated clothing
house. Mr.. Lieberman is one of the
most enterprising and popular business
men, but it is right and proper that
the causes Of his popularity should be
known. Chief amongst these are, that
he always sells exactly what is wanted
by the patrons,of his house, and al
ways cheerfully refunds the money of
customers finding the articles unsatisfac-
tory in any manner.
This house depends on large sales
and small profits for success. This
House was established this week 15
years ago with A. Goodman for part
ner, at 426 Market street, where he is
this present day with six times as
much space as when he first commenced
business. His efforts to please and be
accommodating Immediately took hold
upon the citizens and from this, his
successful career of a clothing mer.
chant commenced, though slow at first,
gradually growing and increasing un.
til he is now without successful rival
in the city. By the way of comparison
we might mention that when Mr.. L.
commenced business his sales frequent
ly did not exceed IS per day, and now
there are days when his sales reach
$1,400. Dissolving partnership with
Mr.. Goodman in 1859, he has since car
ried on the business alone and has pur.
chased the valuable corner on which
his store is located and fitted it up for
the accommodation of his large trade.
Mr.. L. is liberal advertiser. He says
the REPUBLICAN is the best advertising
medium in this city, and there is every
indication of his going on prospering
and to prosper.

The ..RepubIlc,, Excursisn.

A more beautiful day could scarcely
be conceived of for the Grace, NJ. +.
church excursion on the new steamer
Republic, than this morning promised.
AT an early hour the city became alive
with excursionists vending their wsy
down tn Fourth street wharf, and Seal
had two hacks steadily On the DO from
Seventh and Market streets, from six 10
seven o'clock. A large crowd, twice as
large as the number. of excursionists,
collected on the wharf to see their
friends safely off. The strains ofnausia
from Beck's Philadelphia brass band
foated through the atmosphere, the
great monster boat stood up nobly and
proudly out of the water, and num-
Der of flags floated gayly to the wind,
while the excursionists stepped on
board. At seven o'clock the word "all
aboard" was sung out, but still the
lenient, good natured captain tarried at
the request Of this one and that one, for
some friend that had not yet arrived.
Thus twenty minutes were consumed,
and just as couple of fat, well kept cler-
gymen went putting aboard, the gang
plank was hauled in and the Republic
gracefully sailed down the river with
as near ,as We could judge about 800
excursionists aboard, though some said
there were not more than 500, and 9TH
ers put the figures up to 1900.

Yesterday afternoon Josephine Ma
than coming along Front street neal
Market, saw her husband standing talk.
! ing to Sarah Ann Brinckle. 10 Josey's
eyes, Sarah Ann at once became very
dangerous female, although she was al
comely and delicate as MASH" mud
While Sarah stood there contemplating
the couple, she saw asight that made
her hair curl. She convulsively clutched
at her breast, her eyes shone like living
Goals. Could she believe it? Yes il
was only too true. There stood Sarah
Ann tenderly clinging to the neck Of
Josey's husband.-Josey got mad. The
more Josey thought of it the madder
she got. Barometer-like her mad flew
up like sky rocket. She gathered up
her energies and the tail Of her skirts
and started. .,r.. .... .
The couple were taking it sweet, un-
conscious ofthe rampant aggravated ve-
suvius that was coming towards them on
the style Of an escaped locomotive.
Sarah hugged, ,Josey came on with head
bent. And now the earth stood still
and awaited the concussion! 1t came!
Sarah rolled over in the mud, and the
husband looked as though he had been
to the show and hadn't seen the ele-
phant. Sarah then began to chastise
Josey; but officer Lee putting in appear
ance arranged the difficulty by taking
the females to the hall, when hearing
was given them last evening. Sarah
Ann was dismissed and Josey was held
