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 a weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, ana
heals nearly every disease peculiar to tho
scalp. AS q Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither Oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MIR G. p. BR1cuER writes from Kirby, o.,
.Julu 3 1882 Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in q short time ! became
nearly bald. l used part OF boItle OF
AYERS HAIR VIGoR, which stopped the fali-
ing of the hair, and started new growth. l
have now a full head of hair growing vigor-
ously, and am convinced that put Tor the
use Of your preparation 1 should have been
entirely bald"
J.w. BOWEN, proprietor of the Nc 4frthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, says :" AYERS HAIR fiGoR
is a most excellent preparation Tor the hair.
speak of it from my own experience. It's
use promotes the growth OF new halr, ana
makes it glossy and soft. The VlGoK Is also
n sure cure for dandrutf. Not WITHIN my
knowledge has the preparation ever 1aieu
to give entire satisfaction"
Mr.. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader OF the
celebrated "Fairbairn Family" OF Scottisn
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, Fec. 8,
1880; ever since my hair began to give Sill
very evidence of the change which neetmg
time procureth, I 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 VINO lives
In the eyes of the public"
MRS. O. A. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm
St., Charlesto,on, Mass, 1prit ii, 1882, says
"Two years ago about two-thirds OF my halr
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 mead
was completely covered with short hair. IL
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
a dressing"
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR V1GoR. 1t
needs but trial to convince the most skepti-
cal of its value.

THE WABASH strike.
Great Interest Taken in 1t by the Wage.
Workers.

Workers.
CHICAGO, Aug. "a. Although they say
little about it in public places, the leaders Of
the labor movement in Chicago-and, in.
deed, the great mass Of the organized work
ers-are taking deep interest in the strike
on the Wabash. That the trouble has
brought forth no sensational features
surprises, and that the uprising has
not been more general and widespread dis
appoints them But most Of them, while
little nervous about the outcome, are never
thelesS hopeful that q mistake has not beer
made. They have the utmost confidence in
the GOODNESS and sound judgment OF General
Master Workman Powdsrly. They know that
he would not have counter anoed the strike
il 1t could have been avsrted, and that
unless he saw fair prospect OF victory he
would mover have, resorted to extreme
measures Officers of the Knights Of Labor
in this city are as much in the dark as
the general public regarding the prospects
and the means to be employed by the order
in waginS its battle. The dispute Is not one
Of wages The worknen are contending
for their right to organizs The fight ap
pears to have been forced upon them.
The Wabash shops at Moberly were shut
down for few days, and when they were
reopened every employe was requested to,
under penalty of never again getting work
on the road, sign a paper reading: Il dc
promise to leave thesKnights Of Labor, all
brotherhood organizations and all unions. y
1t is against this that the Wabash shop
hands are now out on a strike.
ST. LOUIS, A ug. a4.-The Wabash strike
has assumed phase OF diplomacy. Upon
the refusal of the Missouri Paci fic employees
to draw fires from, or other wise handle
Wabash engines, the engines were trans
ferred to the Union Depot company whore
they are now being cared for. Asignifcant
fact is that shop hand who first refused to dc
tho work was discharged by the Missouri
Pacific, but upon tbs demand of the shop
committe he was reinstatsd. Important de-
velopments are expected, refusal OF
yard men being expected when Wabash
freight is to be switched.

SHOCKING DEPRAVlTY.

A Brother and Sister Live Together
Thirteen Years as Man and Wife.
New YORK, Aug. "a. Thomas White,
young man employed in saloon at the cor.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 24.-The post
office department is called upon to decide
the question whether a citizen OF tho United
States can post his letters where he likes.
A business man in Washington, who send:
out an immense quantity of cir.
culars annually, mails them at a
small office in Maryland where his brother.
in-law is postmaster. whose salary
is governed by tie amount Of mail
matter passing through bis hands. These
circulars have increased his pay from moth.
ing up to fair sized salary, and in some
way the department has just found it out.
The postmaster has not defrauded the gov.
eminent, because the mail has actually
passed through his hands, but if the circulars
had been mailed in Washington, where the
business to which they referred was located,
the treasury would have been saved several
hundred dollars year, and the question is
whether the government has any right te
compel this merchant to post his circulars in
the office to which they properly belong.
