Hair Vigor,

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR

TO ITG

NATURAL VITALITY AND C0LGH.

IT is a most .agreeable dressing, which is at onco harmless tmd effectual, for preserving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its usfc thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, aftd causes a new growth in ail cases where the glands are not dccaycd while to brashy, weak} or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable.

The YIGOB cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff and, by its cooling, stimulating^ and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible.

As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair The YIGOB is incomparable. It is colorless, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparls an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence.

CONSTABLE.

BENJAMIN F. REAGAN

Senator Ben Hill is very low, bat hopes, are entertained that he' will soon be better.

In Rhode Island the political campaign will only last three weeke, we presume on the ground that a small kettle soon boils.

In the recent municipal election in Maine the republicans were successful, and the coalition nightmare is a thing of the past. JrY .1

Yesterday was a very good day fcr conventions in this locality. The repub •. licans, democrats and nationals all tried their hands at it.

The electric light failed in Indianapo* lis at an early hour yesteiday morning. The maohinery broke down, but the break was soon repaired.

The starch manufacturers have been holding a secret meeting in Chicago, at which the Btarch market was discussed, with a view to raising the price. A general convention is soon to be held in Cincinnati.

It appears that Mr. Charles Washington, who organized the colored holt, was not, as he said, a republican. He is a national, and was nominated for constable last evening. His influence with the bolters is probably at an end.

Editor Pulitzer, of the St. Louis PostDispatch, a democratic organ, is in Washington for the first time in three years. He expresses the opinion that the country is agreeably disappointed with President Arthur's administration. He also says the Democratic party is a dead duck in Ohio.

The London News in speaking of the possible and probable war between Russia and the German and Austria-Hungarian empires, thinks that the first successes would inevitably belong to the latter, while, if the war was greatly prolonged, Russia would have some advantage over her opponents.

The noted counterfeiter, James B. Doyle, whose case was to have commenced in the United States court in Chicago tomorrow, is reported to have been seriously injured near his home in Bradford, 111., where he is at present. There ia an impression among the authorities that there is something wrong, and officers have been sent to investigate. One or two instances are on record where counterfeiters on bail have been reported dead, and the prosecution dropped in consequence, where they have afterwards turned up alive and well. There is a suspicion that his mav be a similar case.

It appears that the minority of the committee appointed to audit the bills incident to General Garfield's illness will oppose the proposed allowance to the physicians. Representative Blackburn will oppose anything like $25,000 for Bliss, and the others in proportion. At a recent meeting of the. committee he denounced the doctors roundly for the manner in which they treated the- case. By many it ia supposed that the bill will not be reached during the present session, as the minority insist that it take its place on the calendar.

Mrs. Lang try ia an apt scholar. She has already learned to be quite prima donna like in her demands. Her agent informs managers who desire to engage her that she expects CO per cent, of the receipts for herself and company. "I wish yon to understand," continues the managerial communication, "that no. stock printing, or posters, advertisements, etc., are supplied by her. The furniture also mast be of the best deeeription, and particularly the scenery, as rhe does not accept the scenery usually found in stock. If it should be necessary that a scene should be painted, she will expect it to be done bat I am sure for your own credit's sake yon would have everything of the best possible description." There is gall that actually takes away a Chicago drummer's breath.

THE TICKET.

At the bead of tliif eolatsjn will be found the Harrison township republican ticket, and in another portion oi lb* paper will be found brief biographical fetches of the various candidates. The ticket ia a strong one, and will commend itself to the voters. Mr. Finkbiner is closing his first term as trustee, and was nominated ytsterday without opposition. Two years ago be made the race when it was generally supposed the republicans were in a hopeless minority, but was triumphantly elected by over 400 plurality. His ad-* ministration of the afiairs of the office have Jeeu eminently satisfactory togjf the taxpayers, and is a

strong recommendation for hia Ve-electioh: In the face of a rapidly increasing population he has decreased the expenses of the office to a figure much lower than that of his predecessor. He has made a good officer, and the township will doubtless retain him two years more. Lawrence Burget, the candidate for assessor, Is a Terre Haute boy who has always been identified with its interests. He was a gallant soldier daring the war, and is an energetic man. Of the remainder of the ticket, the names are all familiar and will command the full party vote. This year the republicans are first in the field, and they should go to work for success without delay. With proper effort success is certain, and all should go to work with a will.

SEB6EAHT MASON'S CASS.

Dishonorably discharged from the army, with a loss of all pay and allows ances, and confinement at hard labor in the penitentiary for eight years, is the a4n'ence on Sergeant John H. Mason for his ineffectual attempt to shoot the assassin of the president of the United States, ifis a complete surprise to every one, and is almost universally condemned. The army is noted for the strictness of its discipline, and the verdict of this court martial may be intended as a rebuke to the court that tried the assassin. It is all very well for those who uphold the sentence to talk of his offense against the dignity and honor of the American people, but it must be remembered that at the time he fired the shot this same American people felt sorrow that it missed the mark, and that there were thousands who would have done the same thing i! they had bad an- opportunity. The sentence may be just, judged from the standpoint. of army discipline, but no one believes in its propriety. The circumstances connected with the case do not jaatify it. Against a light sentence but Blight objection might have been offered but thsi a gallant soldier Bhould be subjected to dishonor, as in this case, for an unsuccessful attempt to avenge his president's murder is something which will not be indorsed in any country, and it is to be hoped the secretary of war will not approve it7

THE POLYTECHNIC.

The trustees of the Rose Polycecnniu Institute have completed arrangements which will insure its opening in March next. An eminent eastern scientist has accepted the presidency of the faculty, and is at'present engaged in the selection of his assistants. For the present the trustees deem it advisable to say nothing of their plans, but when all the necessary arrangements huve been completed they will be given to the public. It may, however, be i-tated that the gentleman who ill have charge of the institution has a ieputation than which there is none better, and that the other members of the faculty will be selected from the best material in the country. The Express is aho authorized to state that the Polytechnic will open under more favorable auspices than any other institution of the kind in the United States. ItB success from the start is an assured fact, and when the arrangements are known to all the wisdom ol the trustees in thus long delaying its opening will be apparent. It is gratifying to know that Terre Haute will soon have in operation a polytechnic institute equal in all respects to the best in the country.

THE ELECTRIC LlfiHT.

A person in Denver, Colorado, who is said to be in a position to know all about the subject, writes thus relative to the electric light that so interests the public: "Denver is not lighted at all by electricity, but by gas lamps. The Electric company tried to light the streets by towers and made one grand failure of it. Iu fact the so-called towers are a laughing stock in this section. "When they tell yon that this city is lighted by towers, they simply—say what is not true. "They have about 1C0 private lights. Sometimes not more than twenty of these will work, and few of them give satisfaction."^

It appears that the electric light is not yet an atsured success, so far as lighting large areas is concerned and for single lamps it is not in all instances all that it should be to warrant general adoption.

The republicans of Lost Creek township had a fine opening of the campaign on Friday, when their township convention was held. An excellent ticket was foimed, and the feeling amongst republicans is that it can be elected. The nominee for trustee, Scott Burgan, was president of the Young Men's Republican Club in 1880, and is a good werker. At the spring election of that year the republican vote was 85 at the October election it increased to 152 votes, and in November it was 172 votes. Thus was the township redeemed. »Thia year the prospects are very cheering. The proceedings of the convention will be found in to day's Express.- ________

Scientific Gossip.

Tie best disinfecting agents, according to Mr.W. M. Hamlet, are in general 'those capable of exerting an immediate and powerful oxidizing action, and that it is active oxygen, whether from the action of chlorine, nifaric oxide, or hydrogen peroxide, which must be regarded as & greatest known enemy to bacterial life.

Les Monies reports that M. Dufourcet has in the exposed court of his house two bars of iron planted in the earth, to each of which is fixed a eonductbr of coated wire terminating in a telephonic receiver. He consults the apparatus twice or thrice every day, and it never fails, through its indications Of earthcurrents, to give notice of a storm twelve to fifteen ho ors before it actually arrives.

Soifie researches on the development of cryptogamic vegetation within and without hen's eggs nave been made by M. Dareste. Such vegetation he found on most of sixty eggs submitted singly -to artificial incubation in a small vessel hermetically closed with a caoutchouc ir. The spoors had probably enthe egg during its passage from the oviduct. The resulting vegetation may prove fatal to the embryo in certain circumstances.

At a meeting of the Royal Society, Edinburgh. Dr. D. J. Hamilton read a paper on the circulation of the corpuscles of the blood. The rapid gliding central motion of the colored corpuscles and the slower rotational peripheral motion of the colorless corpuscles were, he held, to be explained by the fact that the latter were specifically lighter than the blood plasama, while the former were of the same specific gravity as the fluid in which they were borne along.

In Reimaim's process for rendering cloth waterproof the fabric is passed slowly -by machinery through a tank divided into three compartments, the first containing a warm solution of alum, the second a warm solution of lead,acetate, and the third pure water, which is constantly renewed. The cloth on passing from the latter is brushed and beaten to remove the salt adhering to the surface, and finally hot-pressed and brushed. In this case lead sulphate on the fibres.

To prevent the cracking of cast steel in hardening, a correspondent of the Metall ArbeUer places the article in a tin box, where it is packed with clean wrought iron drillings, and, after luting the box carefully, He heats the whole slowly to a-dark red heat. After cooling it very gradually he finds that all internal strains which other-wise would have developed cracks in the tool during hardening are removed, and when steel to be hardened is thus annealed no further trouble is experienced.

A matter of importance to 'oyster eaters has been disclosed by Mr. C. A. Cameron. He lately examined some oysters taken from the beds on the northern shore of the Bay of Dublin, where the water is very much polluted at present with excrementitious and other offensive substances. The oysters which Mr. Cameron tasted were taken from a place where the tide covered them to the height of ten feet, and which was nearly dry at low water. From the brine of most of the oysters no offensive' odor was emitted, but that of a large portion gave forth a distinctly fetid smell, and in a few cases the brine gave unmistakable evidence to the nostrfls of sewage contamination. The microscope revealed in the fetid liquid of the oysters whole swarms of micrococci and other low orgfJtisms like those usually present in sewage. Water taken from the bay at low tide was found to be highly charged with sewage. It is not unfairly considered, therefore, thg,t the illness which so many persons have, ex-

after eating oysters believed to

ave been title was

ally due to the.

sewage in the juice of the shellfish.

«Affection of a Dog and a Oat. The strange friendship that is often formed between animals of different species finds a good illustration' in the actions of a dog and cat belonging to a family residing on the east side of the river. The dog is an intelligent specimen of the brown spaniel breed, ana the cat is an ordinary maltese oithe feminine gender. During the winter the cat and dog occupy the same bed in the kitchen, the latter drawing himself together after the manner of canines, and •the former nestling into the space between the dog'e legs and head. In this manner the cat's body is concealed from sight, her head alone projecting from the—to her—comfortable bed. Early in the morning the dog leaves the cat and goes to another room for a short nap. When the members of the family arise the cat arises also, and, seeing out the dog, proceeds to wash his face.

The dog lying down the cat takes her position front of him, and by means of her fore paws and tongue makes the dog's toilet in good shape. If the latter attempts to get up before his face is nicely washed, the cat gently fastens one set of claws to the dog's ear, and holds him until the toiletanaking is complete. The facial expression of the canine while undergoing the tonsorial treatment of this feline friend is a study, and has proved a great source of amusement to the family and to friends who have chanced to see the performance of the two animals.—Rochester Union.

•Introducing New Styles.'

A Chicago man who made a big forr tune in the latest pork deal came to England to polish up a bit on the '-hang the expense'' method. He saw a hat and a pair of boots he admired very much in a window. The hat had a cockade on the Side that pleased him exceedingly. It had not been introduced into Chicago and he was bound to have the newest thing out. After paying for the hat he said he would take the boots, too, if they fitted. "Oh, you can't wear those boots with that hat, you know," said the salesman. "Why can't I?" demanded the millionaire, "I guess I can pay for them." "Ob, certainly," returned the man smoothly, "but, you see, that's a footman's hat and those are coachman's boots."

A prominent merchant of Cincinnati, the Commercial relates, was read a quiet lesson by his child the other evening. Having finished his supper, he put on his hat and coat, and said to his wife, "My dear, there are several of my customers in town, and I must show them som'e attention. I think I will take them to see 'Two Nights in Rome.'" The wife said nothing, but the eldest daughter, a bright, pretty girl, came to the rescue, and remarked, "Well, papa, I suppose you must see 'Two Nights in Rome,' if you have friends here but please try and give us 'one night athome' soon." The next evening he spent in Ids own pleasant sitting-room.

An exchange has an article headed, "Get Hold of the Boy's Heart" Thaf will do well enough if it is a girl you are advising, but we nad rather get hold of a boy's collar, with one hand, and his pistol pocket with the other. You can reason with a boy more that way.— Pecfc'a Sun.

A SCRAP OP IHS1DENE68

WASHINGTON, March 11.—The following is related by a prominent ex-Union General, as apiece of unwritten history, and in connection with the revival of the Roaccrans-Garfield letters brings to the surface a hitherto forgotten fact which will tend to strengthen the well known friendship and affection which existed between the two. It will be remembered that Qeneral Garfield was a delegate from Ohio to the Baltimore convention in 1864, and'nominated President Lincoln for his second term. After Lincoln had been nominated, Garfield telegraphed to Rowersns, then in St. Louie, aa follow*: "Vice Preeidency going a begging. Will you •cceptr1 Gen. lUwecranp, after consultation with a well-known General, now in Washington, consented, and sent an answer to Gen. Garfield. The answer having, it is said, been suppressed by Stanton in the War Department, through whose hands all telegrams at that time went, as a consequence Andrew Johnson received a nomination which Ge®ral Rosecratis would unquestionably hav? secqred, and the following event of Lincoln's death would have placed, him in the Presidential chair, which Subsequently

was

filled by Johnson.

The system of espionage in the War Department at that time brought with it the train of disasters which followed under the Johnson regime, and which might happily have been averted in the placing of Garfield's friend Rosecrans in the Presidential chair.

the ground of bis extreme hard

money views. THE HEW HOUSE RULES.T^| WASHINGTON, March 11.—All t&e Democrats cannot be depended upon to oppose the proposed change in the House rules. Several Democratic members have been in consultation with a view to calling another caucus to procure a change in the programme of the opposition, so as to suggest modification of the proposed amendment instead of unconditional opposition to them.

It is evident that under the present rules scarcely any bill calling for the expenditure of money outside of the regular appropriation bills will stand any show of passing. Members interested in new public buildings, the improvement oi the Mississippi, etc., are very loath to go home without something being done for their local measures.

Messrs. Robeson and Reed are very confident that the proposed amendments will be adopted when their intent (is more fully understood. »r

SERGEANT MASON.

The Secretary of War has telegraphed General Hancock approving tbe order in tbe Sergeant Mason case, providing for Mason's imprisonment in the penitentiary at Albany,

The sentence of the Court Martial upon Sergeant Mason for shooting at Guiteau waa communicated to Mason this afternoon, He received it with apparent in-* difference. Already petitions have been prepared asking pardon from the President. Numerous signatures were obtained to one this evening. One ground for asking it is that there ia reason to believe that Mason is infl&ne.

MEMPHIS, March 11.—The river here fell one inch to-day, and now marks 35

... ..

feet 10 inches tbe gauge, and t«o inch** 1-eluw the higbert pofatt reached this s«a8on. Twenty 'thousands rations for the Tennessee sufferers have arrived, and will be distributed on Monday* pt. J. W. Lee, tbe Army officer appointed by the Secretary of War to ascertain the condition of affairs ill Mississippi, returned to night at 10 o'clock from Arkansas City, on the steamer Dean Adams. In an interview with a Western Associated Press reporter Captain Lee said that no idea of the true condition of the country overflowed can be imagined without being seen. From a point twenty aailes below Memphis, where the first break in the levee occurred, tbe entire country is one vast tea of water. The people all through this submerged region are entirely destitute and in a starving condition. Their stock has_ been drowned, they are living in giu houses, stable lofta and the upper atones of cabins. Hundreds are subsisting on parched corn. Many have been temporarily relieved bj the distribution of Government rations, but others could not be reached, and their sufferings are very great. The levee along the river front ia broken in forty different places between Memphis and Arkansas City, and at some" points the river is fifty miles wide. All the. publiahed reports have fallen far short of living an idea of the damage that had been done or the destitution prevailing. His first estimate made to tbe Secretary has that 360,000 rations will be required to feed the 18.000 needy in the State of Mississippi, and it will, he says, fall short, as the destitute will probsbly be double the first number estimated. Captain Lee will telegraph Secretary Lincoln and await further instructions here.

A HOPEFUL

VICKSBURG, „March 11.—The Herald expresses the opinion that in rpite of the ovei Sow a good cotton erop will be raised, and the Marksville (La.) review believes that the floodB will enrich the land and increase the crop, and in point of faet be beneficial.

A Heavy Sentence.

NEW YORK, March 11.—General Hancock approves and promulgates in a general order the sentence of Sergeant John A. Mason, who attempted to shoot Guiteau. He is condemned by the Court Martial to be dishonorably discharged from the Army, with loss of all pay and allowances,' and be confined at hard labor in a penitentiary for eight years, and the penitentiary at Albany is designated as the place, subject to the approval of the Secretary of War.

CINCINNATI, March 11.—A petition for presentation to President Arthur for the pardon of Sergeant Maaep has been circulated to-day and is receiving a large number of signatures of prominent business men. The grounds presented for the exercise of Executive clemency are the excitement under which the shooting waa done, and that punishment enough has been suffered to meet the demands of military discipline.

A Strike Averted.

PITTSBURG, Pa., March 11.—The labor troubles here have all been amicably adjusted. The strike in the eight Pittsburg mills has been averted, and the lockout at the Homestead Steel Works it adjusted. The union men will resume work at the Homestead on Tuesday. The agreement which the Bessemer Company asked the workmen to sign has been amended by the withdrawal of the clause prohibiting union men from working in the mill, and the olause reducing wages.
