A Russian convict never knows until ne
reaches Siberia what sort OF life is in store
for him; for in pronouneing sentence or
hard labor the Judge makes no mention of
mines. 1T the convict has money or influ.
entail friends, he had better use the time
between his sentence and transportation in"
buying warrant which consigns him to
the lighter kinds of labor above ground;
otherwise. he will inevitably be sent under
earth, and never again see the sky until he
is hauled up to die in an in6rmary The
convicts are forwarded TO Siberiai n con-
voys, which start at the commencement OF
spring, just after the SHOWS have melted
aud left the ground dry. They perform
the whole journey on foot, escorted by
mounted CosSacks, who are armed with
pistols, lances and long whips; and behind
them jots long string ofspringless tum-
Drills, to carry those who fall lame or i'll on
the way, The start is always made in the
night, and care is taken that the copyovs
shall pass through the towns ON their road
only after dark, Each man is dressed in
O gray kalatan, having brass number
plats fastened to the breast, knee
boots, and sheep-skin bonnet,
de carries rug strapped to his back,
mess-tin, and wooden spoon at
his glrdie. The women have black cloaks,
with hoods, and march 10 gangs by them
selves, with an escort of soldiers, like the
men and two or three female warders, who
travel in carts. In leaving large cities.
like St. Petersburg, all the prisoners are
chained with their hands behind their
backs, bat their letters are removed ont.

who are marked dangerous. These have
to wear leg-chains OF four pounds weight
all the way, and some of the most desper-
ate ones are yoked three to beam of wood
which rests on their shoulders aud is fast
ened to their necks by iron collars. No
body may approach the men to inspect
them. The Cossacks crack their whips
loudly to warn persons off, and scamper
up and down the line with lanterns
tied to their lance points, which they
lower to the ground at every moment

Beautiful Hair.

FROM J. a. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
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 a number
to try it, and [ want you to send me a

The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it controls
the life, health and happiness of man.
When it is disturbed in its proper
action, all kinds of ailments are the
natural result. The digestion of food,
movements of the heart and blood,
the action of the brain and nervous
system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings OF the Liver.

The psmocratic Outlook.

The democracy of this county have
reason to feel hopeful Of the outlook in
this couDty,-in fact in the congressional
district, while throughout the state it is
perfectly safe to predict splendid vic
tory next November. In this county the
changes that have occurred since the cam
paign of '76 have divided the republican
party, while the detection from the democ
racy has not been anywhere near in pro-
portionate loss, The campaign which is
now here promises TO be warm and hotly
contested. and it is for democrats to decide
whether victory shall perch on their ban
ner or defeat. Victory can be acquired, is
within reach and needs only hard
earnest work to secure it. The
democracy are well organized in the
county, while feeling of honefulness per-
vades the rank and file and all seem deter
mined to push forward 20 success. 90
the other hand, the republicans are dis
couraged, internal discussions exist aud a
wocful lack of confidence is apparent.
Democrats are firm and propose to work
steadily Tor the principles of the party
while the republicans are weak, unnerved
and lethargic. 10 this condition of affairs
the democratic party have good reason tc
look forward to grand old victory at the
polls, such a victory as all car
feel proud Of and all cheerfully
labor to secure Do not trust to what
may be done" but 60 to work and SET
that it is done. Do not depend on some
body else to help achieve success, but d.
your share, yourself. See that every
democratic vote is polled, Neglect nothing
that will aid 10 securing victory. GO tt
work with confidence. urge your demo
cratic neighbor to vote, and work for the
ticket. The chances for success are more
than evenly balanced in our favor and il
rests with you, democrats, to say whether
success shall be ours Will you avail
yourselves of the opportunity? 1t rest
with you to decide. .err1r

The nationals" Of Indianapolis have
nominated Methodist minister for con-
gress, and he agrees to accept on condition
that the democrats make no nomination.
He wasrecently appointed pastor of q Cinci-
nnati church, but has Withdrawn his ac-

confident of success in politics. The
