original color, suith the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
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 pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of,
and consequently prevent badness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prcpara-
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cam
brio, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and n
grateful perfume.

many carriages were out on the uptown

SINCE our State banks have no paper
money of their own issue we cannot see
why three per cent. State bonds, in size
as large as greenback, with miniature
coupons attached could not be circulated
in our State as bank notes are used. The
people would certainly take them in
payment for work, goods or material, be-
cause they would be as good as gold ;
and laid away as the mass of the people
do lay away their money and keep it in
small sums for years, they would be ac-
cumulating interest. Being untaxed they
would be as produc'iv i've as many farms or
other real estate are. Georgia is about
to issue such a bond at four per cent. to
take the place Of a Line per cent bond.

there would be no more labor to sit, as
there would be no more cases TO try than
if all were tried in one county, as at
present.
Nothing, however, can be done with
this matter without altering the constitu-
ton and when the door Is opened, and
alterations commenced, it is difficult to
tell what may be the result.
The primary object is representation
in the General Assembly, and if this is
not secured in this way, it is possible the
majority of the people may conclude to
try some other mode rather than to rest
content with an Assembly in which it
has the voice OF only one-fourth.

THE QUESTION Of dividing New Cas-
tie county is again about to he discussed
in the newspapers. While we incline to
a mastery inactivity just yet, to avoid
increasing our expenditures and thereby
adding to the already heavy rate Of tax
alton, we may venture suggestion or
TWO in case such matter comes seriously
before the Legislature for It's action.
Heretofore the erection of a Peuitcn-
tary has been deemed unnecessary in
this State, nor does il vet t,cem to be needed
II We regard the wants Of the two lower
counties. There La, been, however. a
constant increase in the number Of criIui-
mails in the Jail Of New Castle county
until tie number 0i inmates averaged
nearly hundred the year roued. But we
are glad To be able to say that his mum
ber has been largely reduced since the
November term of the courts. There is
now, We believe, only about sixty priso-
ncrs in the Jail. 'The times have had con-
siderable to do with this matter, and yerv
many Of the inmates of the jail, it is very
likely, would not have been there had
'the times not been SO hard. The want
Of work, and the bad influence of the
war, produced an army of tramps in the
North nearly as large as all the armies
Of the late Confederacy put together
As the times grow better and labor be-
comes more plenty crime will likely de-
crease, and it may be that the New Cas-
tie Jail i'll the next ten Yeas may not
average one-iourth the number that il
has contained in the last ten years. In
such an event of course it would be
cheaper for our State to be without a
penltentiary or work-housc, or TO pay
the board of our criminals in the Mary.

the L mited States does with its prisoners
as we now do in the matter Of educating

Castle county be divided, the present
prison at New Castle might be conyerte,

new county, there would be ample room
on the present prison lot for all the ney

PURE WATER.-If the City Council
will see to it that the laws are enforced
We will have pure water. This tax
about the drainage from "human excre.
mental matter" as applicable to the
Brandywine water is all bosh. 1t is for
a purpose-like all other money-gettine
schemes of the day. 1t is as false as the
idea that the breaking of the baI ks and
the overflow of the adjacent marshts
causes the prevailing sickness. The
earth is great and never-failing filterer,
made by Gods providence to cleanse the
water more fully than mans hand can
ever do. Were this not SO all the waters
would become polluted, and there would
remain only vast pools of corruption.

more right to corrupt the fountain Of
health than the factories. If il is in the

for hundred years or more the great
towns Of this country were without water
works and depended almost wholly on
the wells, pumps and springs, for their
drinking water? And yet with half
dozen privy wells filled up, or covered,
aud open TO each dwelling, no such cpl
demic WAS ever traced to such cause but
the most remarkable health prevailed.
he Gro on water was not introduced
into New FORK city until about 1872, and
New York was then a city of several
hundred thousand inhabitants. The
fall1nount water works in Philadelphia
were not erected until about 1852 and
Phlladelphia then was large city, de-
! pending mostly upon pumps and wells.

mostly upon the water Of the Schuylkill.
