Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and fres from dan
druff, and the body in . healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair Vigor is que to the fact
that It cieanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss SO essential TO perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of RoxbuIy, Mass,
agentleman fifty years Of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gay. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use oS Ayers Hair Vigor. "It
stopped She falling out" he writes :
"and, TO my great surprise, converted
my whito hair without staining the
scalp> to Me same shade Of broom it
had when was Is years of age"

The Ohio State Journal comments as fol.
lows on the relations between Blaine and
Sherman:
Before the Florence letter was written
Senator Sherman wrote letter to Mr..
Phelps, committing 1t to the hands of
Murat Halstead, in which he (Sherman)
generously declared that If Mr.. Blaine were
candidate for denomination he (Sherman)
would net oppose him. In full view,
therefore, Of the fact that the only man
around whom an opposition to him could be
rallied would not contest with him, Mr..
Blaine Withdrew from the field. This
simple statement of facts put 70 flight a
whole wild brood of conjectures, suspicious,
hints, unsupported assertions and other
kindred f0llies.

We thought il would be strange, indeed,
IL the Ohio democratic papers which had
been denouncing Thurman for prosecuting
the Columbus tallv-sheet forgers, should
swallow their crow without protest. 1t
seems that they do not. The Shield and
Banner, of Mansfield, uses this treason
able language:
But to be plain with the once "Noble
Old Roman" he is in his dotage, and while
he is wandering around like ghost on the
bank of the Styx. he might as well know
that he has not been the ideal of the dem
ocracy he supposed he was since when, in
1877, he refused TO vote to check the damn
able presidential steal, although in posi-
tion so to do.
Between the fiery lines we read the fact
that the national convention at st. Louis,
in nominating Thurman, approved of the
seating of Hayes in the presidential chair.
Here is, indeed, vein of richness.

The Bellefontaine Republican has hauled
down the Blaine flag and 1t now asks Sher-
man to withdraw. 1t says Sherman is in
the lead, and is in position to settle the
matter. We quote as follows:
Therefore, the way to make it possible
for Mr. Blaine to accept nomination, and
thus crafty the earnest wishes of the vast
majority of Republicans, is for the other
candidates to join in call to Blaine to
accept the leadership Of the party.
We doubt whether Senator Sherman will
feel at liberty to turn his back on his army
of friends and partisans to oblige even SO
good fellow as Brother Campbell.

Some of the handsomest old mansions in
the country may be seen in Annapolis, Nd,
where they have stood with but little alter

of the houses date back to the seventeenth
century, but the more imposing of them
were built just prior to the revolution,
when Annapolis was the seat OF refined
