Snringer's One-sided Report.

So far as the Springer report on the
conduct of the Z. 5. Marshal at the Oc-
teber election in Cincinnati gives any
indication of its character, it is an ex+
tremely partisan document and is made
solely for political effect.
No doubt there is foundation in the
evidence for the assertion that Marshal
Wrjgbt's course was extreme, and that
such steps call for restraint, If not disci-
pline. But there was also evidence
showing that the acts of the Democratic
officers at the same time were more
bigh>handed and outrageous. While
there has been no clear proof that any
legal voter was prevented from voting
by the Republican officers, it has been
made clear that Republican voters were
arrested and driven away from the polls
by the Democratic deputy sheriffs in
large numbers.
These are important facts in the case,
and vet Mr.. Springe:'s report, so far as
telegraphed, pays no attention to them
Congressional investigations whichmake
one-sided reports are alnost as bad as
anything that has been alleged concern
ing the Cincinnati affair.-PittspUIgh

The True Communism.

"They tell US. in their dreaming school,
OF power from old dominion hurled,
When rich and poor. with juster rule.
Shall share the altered world.
'Alasl since Time itself began,
That fable hath but fooled the hour,
Each age that ripens power in man,
But subjects man to power.
"Yet every day in seven, at least,
One bright republic shall be known;
Mans world awhile hath surely ceast
When God proclaimed His own.
ask days may rank divide the poor,
o Dives, from thy banquet hall;
The seventh the Father opens the door,
And holds His feast for all!'

We'll. don't wonder that you object
to lotteries" responded the solicitor; ;

man to a kiss from some unknown fe-
male in a semi-darkened room

.'all the misfortunes L have related are
blessings compared with the lll-luck
which comes with just such lottery
as you describe. Five years after my
equine experience took chance in

hand in a box and drew out number
which corresponded with that held by
one of the females in waiting. She was
mine. and [ was entitled to kiss. AS
YOU see. this might or might not be d

my intense delight that l had chosen the
prettiest young lady in the room. Her

lips were like rose buds. ] walked over
to her side, dropped onone,. knee accord

kiss on my lips that made my heart leap
into my throat. l went back and drew

they refused to allow me another opA

But learned her name, and called on
her at her home. In A few weeks we

don't see how that lottery ticket ever
did you any harm. Why didn't you
marry the young lady?"
why didn't L marry her?" repeated
the tailor, with a sigh. Il did.'-Puek.

Death Breaks the Tie.

House floor opposite the main entrance
to the chamber he was picked up by
friends and carried into the ante room

of U. S. Marshal Lot Wright on account
of usurpation of authority and the un-

report will assert that the conclusions
of the majority report are without ba

for the use of the deputies, and that
there was no intimidation and no outs
rage upon suffrage except the arrest of
Republicans by police to prevent their
voting and assault upon peaceable citi>

The people generally are not aware
that the Treasury at Washington con-
tains quite collection of diamonds and
precious stones. They are the gifts in
past years of Oriental nations to our own
Government. It is said they have no
definite owners and are placed in the
Treasury vaults because they are too
valuable to throw away, and nobody
dares to claim them because no single
individual has right to them. They
belong to the people.

AYERS
HairVigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness Of
youth, faded or gray hair to a 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 a weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and impsrts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr.. C. P. BRIcHER writes from Kirby, o.,
July 3, 1882 Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and i'll a short time became
nearly bald. l used part of bottle of
AYER's HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started n new growth.
have now a 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 McArth,t-
(OhiO) Enquirer, says LAYERS HAIR VIGoR
is most excellent preparation for the hair.
speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The VlGoR 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. 6,
1880: "Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which heeting
time procureth, have used AYERS HAIR
VIGOR, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness-a 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 1s Elm
ST., GtarleStOion, Mass, April Il, 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 a 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 VIGOR, but now use it occasionally as
dressing"
We have hundreds Of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti-
cal of its value.
