If some official would pass in the
middle of the sidewalk along the east
side Of Commercial street, between 4th
and 5thS on a dark night, after rain, he
would find cause for remark and need OF
reform. Ladies sometimes pass up and
down that walk in wet weather, but we
think they can not have husbands in the
council or in city Office. Perhaps the
responsible parties all have rubber boots
and don't notice that in front of very
valuable business lot is a very worthless
pond. Here is an inconsistency which
ought 70 be bridged over or smoothed
out. Ducks might take advantage OF
this puddle if folks would only give
them fair show and keep on the other
side of the street.

thickened, falling hair checked, and
badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re-
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead Of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling OF,

corning the signing of testimonials: "Good

Some of you have done too much harm

lest you push worthless man or worth

Two gentlemen who were passing the Ethan Al

large Newfoundland dog which was inside the
fence and kept running towards them and then re
turning in the direction Of the pond in the grove
where something was evidently wrong The curl
osity of the gentlemen was excited and they fol
lowed the dog to the pond, where they found
another dog of the same breed in the water and
unable to get out. His front paws were on the
curb stone but he could not get sufficient hold to
draw himself cut. He was nearly exhausted and
would probably have drowned had not the gentle
men assisted him. The dogs showed their graft

JEFFERSON DAVIS, who ought to be
perpetually surprised that he has been
allowed to live, has been taking An
other retrospective view of the lost
cause. He tells his Confederate
friends in Mississippi that, as he under
stands it, they have agreed,to stay in
the Union only SO long as the present
Cons titution and the laws conforming
TO il are in force. Whenever, accord
ing t. their view, these are set at
naught, or are in any Way invaded,
they will be at liberty to leave the
Union without more ado. Such an in
vasion of the Contribution and the laws,
according to Davis, WAS the agreement
restricting slavery to certain geo.
graphical limits. 1t was this which
made political parties sectional and
prepared the way for secession. Indeed,
we are made to believe that it was the
restriction of slavery which made Sc.
cessinn inevitable. Davis thinks that
the course pursued by the Government
toward the ex-rebel States, after the
war, vindicated the Judgment of those
who believed that secession was neces
sary for the safety and freedom of the
South. That is tc say, the punishment
of treason showed that the traitors
were Justified in their reasonable
course. Mr.. Jefferson Davis has learn
ed nothing in all these years of change
and progress.

The Colorado Democrats.

! The hot weather seems to have had
its effect upon the patriots who formed
theDemocratie Convention of Colorado.
They have adopted series of resolu'
tions demanding the unlimited free
coinage of silver, the REPEAL OF The Re-
sumption act and an Unlimited supply
of legal tender notes. the abolition ol
the national banks aud the payment
of the national debt in greenbacks.
Also, they demand that "the govern
mtnt shall always maintain the vol
ume OF its currency so as to meet the
demands of trade" and that it tshall
maintain all the kinds of money, gold
silver and paper, at an equal value and
purchasing power" What puzzles us
Is why they did not also demand an
act of Congress enabling every free
born American citizen to lift himself
up by the straps of his boots. 1t must
be grief to the Colorado democrats
that after adopting such tremendous
pIatform as this they can send at most
only one member to the House of Rep
reeentatives.--N. Y. Herald.
