sciM tte gloss and freshness IF youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicies are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing 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 off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerors, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigcr can only benefit but not harm
it. II wanted merely for a

A Novel Claim.

In the House yesterday petition was filed
by Mr.. Money, from Messrs. Judd & Detweler,
of this city, in which they represent that they
have for seven years owned and published II
paper called the Posiofce Gazette, having pur-
chased the copyright and subscription list
from the representatives of the former owner
for 81 200. There were other expenses, and
further they published in the GdSette instruc-
tions to postmasters and other postoffice ad.
vertisements, which advertising was worth
$50 per month, but they neither asked nor re-
ceived compensation therefore. Tie paper
therefore became valuable to the Governments;
but the Postoffice Department, about August,
1879, started the Official Guide, which it fur.
nishes free to all pustmasters; that said Guide
contains the same information as was formerly
in the Gdsette, and, being furnished gratis, It
has destroyed the subscription list and other.
wise damaged the publication ofthe petitioners
and, but for the difference in titles, would be
a violation of the Ga=ette's copyright. The
Gd=ette yielded the petitioners net annual
profit Of about 81 500, Of which they arc de.
prived by the action of the Postofice Depart
ment. The petitioners complained, and since
then the Department has paid them for adver-
tisinE, but the amount is very small. Iu view
Of all these facts they ask relief by an appro
priation of 5000 in compensation for loss
The petition was referred 10 the Committee on
POstOtlices and Post-Roads.

The pistrIet Investigation.

The Honse District Committee yesterday re-
sumed the investigation of Treasurer Gill
hllan's charges Ex.Commissioner Phelps was
recalled and examined by Mr.. Aldrich. Moth
ing of great Importance was ELECTED. Tho
witness said that when he went into Office lie
found matters in state of chaos II was in
May, 1876, that the Commissioners found that
great many special assessments were so
erroneous as TO be illegal. The Commissioners
made an exhaustive examination of the rules
OF the Board Of Public Works in 1876, and also
of the methods Of assessment.
Witness was questioned at length touching
the failure of the Commissioners TO issue tax
lien certificates and the great work imposed
upon the special assessment division. He said
the clerk IN charge Of special assessments
worked so hard that the Commissioners had to
send him away for rest.
Witness said that the assessments against
the Metropolitan Street Railroad Company
were not issued while he was a Commissioner,
because the act of Congress of Juno 90, 1874,
made it the duty of the board of audit to hud
out equtably what the street railroads should
be assessed.
Attorney Riddle said that at some future
time lie would like to make a statement con-
cerning opinions lie had given the Commits
sloners with reference to special assessments.
The Commissioners, he said, never sought to
influence him TO make an opinion one way or
the other.
Captain Phelps will be recalled tomorrow.
