Ayers
Hair VigOr

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused entirely new
growth of hair. i am ready TO certify to this
statement before a justice of the peace
yII.Iuisebus. Lewisburgh, Iowa.
ssf"SonIe years ago, after a severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. then tried. successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy l applied
was Ayers Hair Nigor, which brought n
growth of hair III a few weeks. L think /
used eight bottles i'll two years; more than
was necessary restorative. but l liked it
= as dressing. and have continued to use it
for that purpose. 1 believe Ayers Hair
Sigpr possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

STANLEY ON LOVE.
The African Explorers Views on the OAR

Now, very curious letter in which
Henry M. Stanley gives his views on
love, and the ladies generally, has fall
len into my hands, and I cannot re-
frain from transcribing part of it. The
letter is dated from Jermyn street,
London, where Stanley lived before
his departure for his last trip into the
heart of the Dark Continent, and it is
dated August 1st. 1884. 1t is ad-
dressed to a poet who shall be name
less, and brings out in all its fullness
the upright, manly qualities of the
great African explorer He says:
"E'or the life of me, l cannot sit

and it is the mans intense ruggedness.
pia'nness, directness, that l have
contracted by sheer force of scircum-
stances. Poets and women appear to
me SO soft, so very unlike Cat least
that | have SEEM the rude type of
mankind, that one soon feels when
talking to them that he must soften
speech and drawl, or affect singular
articulation, lest offense be taken
where none was intended. Hence
men are seldom sincere to women or
poets. Have you ever thought of
how you looked when speaking to
woman? If my recollection serves
me right, | have seen you talk with |
such an affected softness that 1 can
not compare the manner of it to any
thing better than that Of strong
man handling baby, tenderly, gin
gerly. So! But my pen is carrying
me away. / wished t., say, my dear |
friend, that | am absolutely uncom-
Portable when speaking to woman,
unless she is such a rare one that she
will let me hear some common sense.
The fact is, can't talk to women. In
their presence / am just as much of a
hypocrite as any other man and it
gals me that | must act and be affect
ed and parody myself for no earthly
reason but because / think, with other
men, that to speak or act otherwise
would not be appreciated. 1t is such
q false position that do not care to
put myself into"
Stanley then goes on to qualify his
structures by saving that there is one
ady, friend of the poet to whom he
writes, 10 whom ne can speak. because
aafier the first few minutes Of strange

Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they due to
nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic re-

Gallons made at home by the patient once in two
weeks.

Col ELLIOT F. SHEPARD, editor of the New York Mail and Express, after fin ishing the exhaustive work of choosing a scriptural text for his paper every morning, goes out and pulls wires among the politicians. He wants to have the next republican nomination for mayor of New York. Recently he has been dining and winning the republl- can leaders in the several wards for the purpose of getting solid with them. It is not yet In evidence that he has suc- ceeded in favorably impressing them. Shepard would probably be as easy a man to beat as any other republican that could be named. His fatherin-law, the late Commodore Vanderbilt, used to say that he was more kinds of a damned fool than any other man he ever met.

CONTRACT LABOR LAWS.

 to the Congregational committss.
 NEW YoRK, April 23.-Ex-MastsT Workman Thos. B. McGuire, at present . general lecturer of the Knights of La bor, was the principal witness called by the Subcommittee of the joint Con gressional Committee on Immigrant In vestigation.
 He said the contract labor laws were passed at the request of the Knights of Labor, but they are not sat- isfactory in all respects. Steamship companies foster undesirable emtgra- tion by advertising in European papers, falsely representing the advantages of the country. This should be prevented. Concerning Joseph Gallo, 8 preceding witness, who claimed to be banker and broker handling $1 ,OOO, 900 year, and who said he was not padrone, MT. Mo- Guire said he was both banker and padrone..

 Mr. Mcclure thought the American oonsuls should send particulars con. corning emigrants and that Inspectors be sent in each vessel to mingle with passengers, acting as detectives. The consuls should be required to publish tho condition of the labor market here, in European papers.

 THE era of Nabonnas began Febru- ary 20, B. c. TAT. Itcontinued until the death of Alexander the Great and was thence brought down to the reign of Antonius Plus.

DIRTY POLITIC0

A marked copy of the British Ameri- can Citizen, published in Boston, con taining a scurrilous article directed against the Catholic democrats of New Britain, was mailed to every American democrat in that city few days before the recent election. Here is an extract from the letter:
 "The Roman cross is still above the American flag in New Britain, and will long continue if the election on Monday next results in returning the same party to power. Like Waterbury, Meriden and neighboring manufacturing cities, New Britain for years has been the of Erin, and for as many years has struggled to rid itself of them. Like the old man of the sea they have come to stay, and when might is with them their consideration and charity for others sours to a remarkable degree. They tax the people, they run the town and expend it's funds. It costs more to support their poor than It does to run the public schools. They usurr the power of financial agents, and dis. tribute the school money by the thous ands among the O'Gormans, O'Gradys Nihils, Nolans, the Ryans and Regans with all the. bravado of an Italian ban. ditti. The spirits-of Rome-are always with them, and they stop not short o1 everything. The judicial department receives their consideration they pos sess the responsible and valuable probate court, with all it's vital records, anu have as henchmen some six Irish attor. neys, not one above mediocrity, and all waiting until a political office can be created for them. A town court house has been talked of. Think how the statue of justice crowned with St Peters mitre would look adorning the portico.'
 The article is long g-drawn-out in the same strain, and although the writer. scarcity of brains is evident in every line, the alleged arguments it contain. may have secured a few votes for the re publican party-which was the main point aimed at. Such political methods will eventually act as boomerang.
