AYERS
Hair VigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness Of
youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu-
lates weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled; 1t contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable and lasting perfume.
Mr.. C. p. BRIcHER writes from Kirby, o.,

ing of the hair, and started new growth. l
have now full head of hair growing vigor-
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use Of your preparation should have been
entirely bald"
J.w. Bowen, proprietor of the McArthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, says LAYERS HAIR NIGoR
Is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
Ispeak of IL from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth OF new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The VIGoR Is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
MR.. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader Of the
celebrated Fairbairn Family" OF Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, FEB. 8,
1880 ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which fieeting
time procureth, l have used AYERS HAIR
VIGoR, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfuness matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
in the eyes of the public"
MRS. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from IL Elm
ST., Chdriesto,cn, Mass, dpril II, 1882, says
"Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came OFF. 1t thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGOR the falling stopped and new growth
commenced, and in about q month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. regularly used but one bottle
of the N1GoR, but now use it occasionally as
dressing"
We have hundreds Of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t
needs but trial to convince the most skepti.
cal of its value.

TALMAGE In LONDON.
A Deluge of Invita- tions to Preach from the

DIR. Talmage, the great American Boanergcs,
the eloquent and popular pulpiteer, whose thun-

pose of obtaining rest and quiet, he decided
to preach only on one occasion. Being
asked which was to be the favored pulpit,
he replied that he preferred to stand

gathering Long before the time for opening
the doors the quadrangle leading to the
chapel entrance was crowded with an excited
throng OF people from all parts Of London, deter
mined, at all cost, to hear the opponent of Inger
soil and American infidelity. When the doors
were opened so great was the rush for admission
that something like panic ensued. Women
and children were screaming and battling to get
back again, while the surging crowd behind
pressed closer and ever closer to the front.

BLAINE MAY RUN MAINE,
As Her Governor, if He Will Consent To Be
the Republican Candidate.

AUGUSTA. Me. Aug. 31.-Republican poll
ticians are beginning to canvass for candidate
to succeed Governor Robe. Among the most
prominent candidates are William W. Thomas.
ex-minister to Sweden, who was beaten some
what underhandedly, as his friends assert by
Robe three years ago, Speaker Hamlin and
Mayor Bodwell, of Halloweli. At the State
camp this week the name mentioned among the
rank and file of the soldiers twice to any and all
others once was James G. Blaine's. IF he'll
accept, he's my man, said an artilleryman, and
that voices the sentiment of large number who
expressed opinions. Locality claims, which
usually play so strong part in the discussion of
candidates, seemed to be swept out of sight
whenever the name of the Plumed Knight was
mentioned.
The campaign will be bitter one. The Demo
Gratis will make big fight with either Hon. John
B. Redman, of Ellsworth, or Mayor Deering, of
Portland, as candidate. Blaine as candidate
would make doubtful contest certain for the
Republicans, and probably great efforts will be
made to secure his consent.

CONTRASTING A SALE OF BONDS.
A Californian Secures a Favorable Ruling
Against the Firm of WinslOw, Lanier & Co.

New YORK, Aug. 31.-Judge Vanvorst, in the
Supreme Court, has rendered decision upon
the demurrer interposed by the firm Of Winslow,
Lanier q Co., bankers, to the complaint of
Alfred A. Cohn, the San Francisco lawyer who
brought suit against them to set aside sale by
them to him of 100000 of the first mortgage
bonds of the West Shore railway for which he
paid $3.50, 600, and to compel the repayment to
him Of that sum, with interest from August
1888, when the transaction took place. Cohn was
a depostor of Winslow, Lanier & Co., and had
entire confidence in the firm He charged that
the firm was connected with the railroad and
the construction company, and sknew all about
the affairs of both, and that he had been induced
to make the purchase of the bonds by fraudulent
representations as to the condition of the com
pany; also, that at the time of the purchase he
was sick and unable to make proper inquiries as
to its condition; that they concealed certain in
formation from him regarding the solvency of
the company, and that they had special
interest in the sale of West Shore
bonds. AS the bonds did not turn out to
be as good as the bankers represented, Mr..
Cohn brought this suit to have the agreement
under which he made the purchase set aside and
his money refunded On return of the bonds.
Winslow Lanier & Co. put in a demurrer to the
facts sufficient to constitute cause of action,
and that there was a defect of parties The
Judge day gave judgment for the plaintiff on
the demurrer, with leave to defendants to
answer on payment of costs The Judge holds
that Mr. Cohn is entitled to redress; that the
demurrer cannot be sustained, as the plaintiff
had shown good cause of action in equity.

feature of Byron is that whenever he renders

Davis, is at home, and source of comfort and

a charming retreat, retired from the hustle of
the world, yet cheered by the visits of Northern
friends, Southern sympathizers and confederate
veterans. Their home here, Brierfeld, is long,
single-story white building, with wings at either
end in the shape of d double T. with verandas
between, supported by heavy columns and paint

2. 400 acres the richest of Mississippi bottoms,
from which, Captain Hughes says, 600 bales of
cotton will be gathered this year Mr. Davis
generally visits this place twice year to look
after his interests.

The Cattlemen Said To Be Moving.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 31.-Cattlemen here, refer
ing to the alleged application by General Butler
to Judge Miller, of the United States Supreme
Court for an order restraining the execution of
the Presidents proclamation clearing the ranches
in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations Of
cattle, say they think mistake has been made,
and that if General Butler has applied for an
injunction at all, it refers to the order of the
President for the removal of fences from the
public domain. Mr.. Frank B. York, president
and manager of the Wichita Cattle Company,
who returned from the reservation few days
ago, says he has heard of no such action having
been taken by cattlemen. On the contrary
he says, cattle are moving in every direction;
that the cattemen are using every means
to comply with the Presidents order; that fully
onehalf of the cattle already off the reserya-
tion, and that the remainder will be out of it in
thirty days. Mr. Allen, of the firm of Hunter &
Evans, states that their latest advices are that
there Is the greatest activity among the cattle
men on the reservation and that every exertion
Is being made to get the herds off the land as
speedily as possible He is satisfied the
reservation will be cleared very soon after the
time allowed by the Presidents order expires
Mr.. Pollard, of the law firm of Taylor g.
Pollard, who represent legally large number
of oattlemen, says he has no knowledge of such
action and thinks the injunction mentioned
refers to the fence-moving order.
