Good, Sound Advice.

Senator Beck, if he is from the "Solid
South" gives some good advice that, if fol-
lowed, would inevitably lead to results cal
culated to benefit the country at large. The
Democrats should do their duty and leave
the responsibility of any lack of a proper
appreciation of the situation upon the Re
publcans, should they endeavor this win
ter to block wholesome legislation. These
remarks of Senator Beck can supplement
what we have to say in another place re.
specting Congress and its relations to the
people:
"The evident policy of the Democrats at
the approaching session of Congress, which
has only seventy or eighty working days, is to
make it strictly business session, take no
holiday recess, pass all the necessary appro-
priation bills, the census bills, aid commerce
and the carrying trade, if possible improve
the Mississippi and our great waterways, to
cheaper transportation and render an extra
session after March 4th unnecessary. If the
Republicans by dilatory or other proceed
ings prevent us from doing so, the response
bility for all the evils an extra session will
inAict upon the business of the country will
be upon them. If we waste time by a long
recess and by dilatory conduct in the first
part of the session and necessary bills should
then fail the country will hold us response
BILE. l think the press will do good service
by urging these facts on Democratic men,
bers, as they may arrange their affairs be-
fore leaving home for continuous work from
December 9th till March 4th. ."-Banner.

The re are few cities in the United States or
the Canadas, which have not several well
known residents, who have been materially
benefited by the use of Ayers Hair Vigor.
The original youthful color has returned to fa-
ded and beached .ocks; bald spots have been
recovered; or brashy, dry and wiry hair has
been brought to a smooth glossiness.
Read the following PLAIN statement, every
word Of which is true:
Mrs. Oliver Davenport, of Williamstown,
VT, and SO years old, lost her hair 80 years
ago, by disease Of the scalp, presumably, as
sic had no sickness For 3s years she tried
many 'restorers' &c, with no effect. A year
ago last May, coming by chance, in possession
Of part Of bottle Of AYERS Hair Vigor,' she
applied it and downy growth of hair began to
cover her head. She has since used three bot,
ties aud about half, and at this time her hair
ia twelve inches in length, brown in color, not
at all gray, and covering her head, with the
exception OF spot on top, and that has a
downy growth starting upon 1t, which she
thinks persistent use Of the Vigor will bring
out like the rest.

The particulars Of this case can be verified
by the Postmaster and other prominent citi.

Woman Against Woman.
DOMESTIC LIFE AMONG THE MORMONs-A
HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF

The first marriage in Mormon family is
attended by the same manifestation of af-
fection as in other communities. Living
under system where polygamy is incllca-
ted as a divine institution, where it is con-
stantly urged from the pulpit and sur
rounded by the example, it is not strange
that at the first manifestation of domestic
intelicity the husband should ALLEVIATE him
self from his W fs and seek another compsn-
ionship for qualities which he imagnes will
perfect his happiness. When the blow falls
and the wife finds that another is enthroned
in the husbands affections, who is to have an
intimate share of his life she often becomes
broken-hear red, and goes speedily to tho
grave or drags out a miserable existence
for her children's sake In large number
of cases, when the first wife fiods herself
dethroned, she becomes transformed into
she devil, and resolves to make it hot for
her liege and his new wife, and as a general
thing succeeds in doing so. The bitter
hatreds and jealousies which exist in these
families are indescrlbable The children
side with their mother against the father,
while the other wives and their children are
objects ofintense aversion. 1t matters moth
ing that occasionally man of strong char
acter is able to hold his family ia subjection
and compel an apparent truce. Even in pow
erty the husband is often compelled to sep
arate his wives in houses widely located
where in many cases they support them.
selves and their children. Those possessing
larger resources are alike compelled to erect
| distant dwellings, from which the families
watch his attentions and bounty to the
other class of women who may be termed
religious enthusiasts, and who would be
ranked among the liberal minded women
at the East. These women endorse vehem-
en- urge their husbands to take additional
wives, 1t is this class who get up the petit
tions to congress setting forth the beauties
of their condition and they are made useful
to influence the young, The whole teaching
and practice OF the Mormon church tends to
| the degradation of the women and the brutal
ization of the men. 1t teaches that no wom-
an can be called into existence in the life
hereafter except at her husbands pleasure
She must, therefore, exert herself to minister

Certainly as good an evenings entertainment
a. has been seen in this city for some time was
given at the Academy last evening by Nine.
Rtn'z's Mnstrels. 1t deserves better title
than Ministries, "a every scene is either vocal
or instrumental Of high order with an occa-
sional bit OF refined merrment thrown in to en-
liven the performance, ,and a far more appropri-
ate name would be "Grand Concert of Refne ed
Musical Novelties" Its peculiar nature and
title may have led some TO suppose that Nine
Rentz's MInstres was hardly the proper thing
for lady TO visit, but the impression is erro
reous, as a more refined entertainment conld
not possibly be placed on the stage. From be.
ginning to end it was replete with novel spec
ialIies and charming vocalism. There were la
dis who executed admirable solos upon such
fticult instruments as the flute clarinet, cor
net and harp, and each with perfection rarely
equaled. There were vocal and dialogue
sketches of great excellence aud varied charac-
ter. The burlesque "Penn's Aunts Among the
Pira'es," brim full of fun, closed the entertain
m mt, and any would-be imitaiors of Nine.

the origir al troupe has been here, and we want
them again, and no others.
