Hair V1gor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.

ohNt WI INV SoGSah
IT is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual for pre-
serving the hair. 1t restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. BY its use thin
hair is thickened, and badness often
though not always cured. 1t checks falling
of the hair Immediately, and causes new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not dccayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The VIGoR clcanses the scalp, cures and
prevents tho formation of dandruif; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, 1t heals most If not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases Of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a. Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The VIGoE is Incompatible. 1t is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. 1t imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

The false claims OF superlativs
virtue and honesty set up by the
army and navy officers have been
pretty well exposed in this country,
while in foreign countries, notably
Russia, the military branches seem
to practice frauds and thefts to a
most alarming extent. A pamphlet
recently published in Vienna gives
some striking illustrations Of the
utter lack of honesty that pervades
every branch of the Russian admin
istraton. In one case a mar pfacN
tory of arms had to be rebuilt, aud
the officials intrusted with the under.

THE NEW PUBLIC PRINTER.

Mr.. Sterling P. Rounds, who has
been nominated for the office Of
public printer, is in Chicago, where
he will qualify for his new office.
The law requires bond of 100000

persons have offered to go upon his
bond that Mr.. Rounds has decided
to to qualify in $500,O0O. Mr..

his business, placing it in the hands
of his sons and others, with the view
of retiring from active control of it.
1t is said of him that he has fitted
out more newspapers than any other
man in the United States, and, as
friend of his said to "Star" report.
er, lost more money fitting ost re.
publican papers. In the great Chi
oago fire he suffered severe losses,
but his enterprise and energy rose
equal to the occasion. In politics
he has been an active republican.
He is reputed to be very wealthy.
His nomination to the Office of pub
lie printer is considered as due rec,
ognition not only of his party SER
vices, but of the prominent place he
has occupied in the craft of printers.
1t is expected that he will take his
family to Washington with him.
The retiring printer, John f. Def

gentleman as ever held office in
Washington, but the worry and
strain Of carrying on the immense
business of the government printing

age and feeble health that it must
be a relief to him to be rid Of the

Wesley's Tact.

The following anecdote of the found.
er of Methodism has, we believe,
never been published. 1t reaches us
from a trustworthy source, aud it Illus
trates in n remarkable manner the
mingled tact and piety of that eminent
man. Although Wesley, like the
Apostles, found that his preaching did
not greatly effect the mighty or the
noble, still he numbered some families
of good position among his followers.
1t was at the house of one of these
that the incident here recorded took
place. Wesley had been preaching
and daughter of neighboring gen.
tleman, a girl remarkable for her
beauty, had been profoundly impress
ed by his exhortations. After the
sermon Wesley was invited to this
gentleman's house to luncheon, and
with himself one of his preachers was
entertained. This preacher, like many
of his class at that time, was a man OF
plain manners, and not conscious of
the restraints of good society. The
fair young Methodist sat beside him
at the table, and he noticed that she
wore a number of rings. During a
pause in the meal the preacher took
hold of the young lady's hand, and
raising it in the air, called Wesley's
attention to the sparkling jewels.
"What do you think of this, sir" he
said, "for a Methodist's hand 2" The
girl turned crimson. For Wesley,
with his known and expressed aversion
to fnery, the question was a peculiarly
awkward one. But the aged evange-
list showed n tact which Chesterfield
might have envied. lie looked up
with a quiet, benevolent smile. and
simply said, THE hand is very beauti-
full" The blushing beauty had ex.
pected something far different from a
reproof wrapped up with such felicity
in a compliment. She had the good
sense to say nothing but when, few
hours later, she again appeared in
Wesley's presence, the beautiful hand
was stripped of every ornament eX-
cept those which nature had given.

'IIoward" In philadelphia Times.
Do you know / think Oscar Wilde
has degenerated into a commonplace
young man. | saw him in the Long
Branch hotel Wednesday. lie had
been announced TO lecture there. The
proprietor had very kindly given him
the use of the ball room, where tn:
younger guests like TO dance. lie
also directed the band not 10 play
during the lecture. Tickets were one
dollar each. Oscar came in with his
slouch bat and ulster. lmperiouslv he
requested that guests should not be
permitted TO promenade the broad
piazzas, and directed that the blinds
he tightly closed, so that no one could
see him or hear him without the pay
ment OF the dollar admission fee. Mr..
Southgate assented 10 the latter, but
ina.much as his guests pay him for
tle conveniences of the hotel he didn't
feel like insulting them, and told
Wilde so. He was furious and talked
freely Of American manners. ! cx-
pected him to demand that the surf
should cease rolling and the sea stop
roaring. A pretty little girl, inspired
by older companions, modestly pre-
-entei Wilde with Il gorgeous sunhow-
or, whereupon, with look at the ex-
pectant child, he threw the flower on
the table. A little boy, upon whom
he came suddenly, stammered out,
How dye do, Oscar WildY "Who
taught YOU manners, sir?" said Mr.,
Hog. Many of the guests had heard
and sickened Of the lecture in New
York and didn't care TO go in. The
blinds, being closed, the great room
soon became uncomfortable and one
after another groups deserted the hall.
No wonder. A new moons crescent
was hanging over the sea. A great,
staring star stood Just above it aud
the surf sang out: Come in and
battle come in and swim" Oscar
didn't like it. Before he had con.
cluded quite one.third Of his audience
had disappeared. Then hunying
through so as to catch the last train he
raclad himself and berated the con-
duct Of the people.
Mr.. Southgate sent him n check for
SIjs Of which be returned S2j for the
two young men who had taken pains
to sell his tickets and seat his audience.
The fact appears to be that Mr.. Wilde
has degenerated into n very small
money grabbcr. His $500 a night

creasing mail, with invitions from the
best people in the land and his Min
erva.like popularity are sensibly di-
mini.hed. When | tell you that the
maturer women declined to pay one
dollar to hear him and that little girls
and boys Of seven were his chief de-
votees and that his receipts fell far be-
low his appetite you won't wonder
that he shook the sea salt from his
pumps as soon as possible and
went away unregreted. The Ameri-
