HairVigor,

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.

Ir is a most agreeable dressing, -which Is at onco harmless and 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 use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always curcd. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed while to brashy, weak, or othenvisa diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable.

Tho VIGOR 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 tie 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 VIGOR is Incomparable. It is colorloss, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for tho toilet it is economical and Unsurpassed In its excellence.

The investigation of the Chili-Peru business was commenced yesterday by the house committee. Shipherd was on hand but was sent home after books and papers, which he doubtless forgot to take along with him. The/enate committee on foreign relations will not take the matter up until the present investigation has been concluded.

An old man in Chicago wanted to visit his relatives in Boston before he «Ked, but as ho only had ten dollars he was at a loss how to proceed.

He was deeply grieved upon having his reqacst refused.

The New York Tribune is sometimes rather severe in its remarks. The following, for instance: The cable brings the news that "General Garibaldi is to be presented with a medal in acknowledgment ef his plan for straightening the bed of the Tiber." This medil is not to be confounded with the medals which sundry gentlemen lately conferred upon themselves in acknowledgment of their plans for taking the thorns out of the bed of Salt river.

Among nations the United Statee stands sixth in the amount of its indebuduess France has the largest debt, Great Britain Becond, Russia third and Spain fourth.

The great nations are increasing their indebtedness at the rate of about $500,000,000 per annum, and it is estimated that by the year 1900 they will aggregate nearly $33,000,000,000, Our local debts of all kinds aggregate over $1,000,000,000.

The democratic committee for the city of Cincinnati recently made pnblio an address which, for ite frankness, is model democratic document.' Charges of corruption in the democratic ranks in Ohio have heretofore been repelled with great warmth. Things are different now. The democratic twelve who ireued the aforesaid address complain that honest men of their party are averse to serving on political committees with men who seek these positions as a means of obtain' ing a livelihood. Moreover, they deplore the disregard cf the jaw for the protection of primaries, and they eay that good men will not seek nominations from such corrupt sources as those of the demc cratic party in Cincinnati are plainly indicated to be. This is a very candid statement of affairs, and will donbtlssa commend itself to the democracy. To pernee such a document mast be very comforting to the truly good Deecon Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Gasstte, who in the last city campaign deserted the republican candidate rthaycr and devoted his energies to the election ol a 'democrat.

THE MOBHOK QtfESTIOff.

Now that the Edmunds anti-polygamy bill has passed both houses of congree?, a. apcedy settlement of the CmnonCampball contested election esse ehonld be one of the events of the near future. As BQon as the bill receives the signature of the president it will become law. Then polygamy will disqualify any person from holding office. Cannon has several wives, cansequently he cannot take his seat, and the house of representatives will to declare.

The Edmunds' bill should not be the end of anti-polygamy legislation at this time. It should be but the entering wedge which should be driven with force uotil the whole nefarious business is burst to pieces. The more that is known cf Mormonism the more apparent does it become that it should be destroyed. In temporal mstteraeven the church assumes control, and seta its dictates above the decision of the courts. In a letter recently written by Rev. D. J. McMillan, of Utah, to Congressman WilUtts, of Mich-, igaa, cceure the following paragraph on this subjjct:

Tho Mormon chureh esstrts Its light to control all temporal affairs. All causes, civil, criminal, and ecclesiastical, are to be bropght alike before the bishop's court, with the right to appeal to the high council of the church, where all Justice terminate s. Those are not courts of record. Ca*es are simply brought up for trial the cafe is stated, the presiding priest pronounces judgment, and enforces -penalties arbitrarily. For instance, a man attempted to homestead a piece cf land without asking the bishop's permission. This enraged the bishop, who at oncc arpointel ono of his faithful henchmen to reoccupy a home on the same land. A Idi-pute aro^e between the two claimants, and tho bishop compelled both to appear before him. He decided at once against the lawful claimant, cut him (fit from the church, and turned him over to the buffetlngs of Baton, which meant soc'al ostracism

and

starvation for

want of means of livelihood. In this particular case the man so wrocged had the comrage to appeal to the land office for redress, and obtained it. Whereupon the bishop, on the Sabbath morning succeeding, publicly aid: "Brother has shown himself to be an enemy to this people by ignoring the priesthood and entering land as the Gentiles do. By the power of the holy priesthood whkh I possess I have cut him off end turned him over to the buffetlngs oi Satan, and I proncuace the curse of the Almighty upon him. His crops shall wither away and his lands shall not yield or increase, and he shall stai veto death unless he repent and gets baptized again to wash away the sins of his rebellion and pays up his tithing and begs pardon, and none of the-saints are to show him any countenance or Javor until he repents."

Even the water master of the community, who is appointed by the mayor, who is generally the bishop, is instructed to allow that man no water to irrigate his lands, and as nothing can be raised from the soil without Irrigation, of course the withered crops and starvation and Ihe rest is fully experienced. For the sake of his suffering, starving family, the man gave his land, was rebaptized, asked pardon of the priest?, and put his neck to the yoke in silence.

A number of such cases can be easily produced. The water master is a mere thumbscrew for the bishop, and the destinies of every man are in his hand.

In the face of all the evidence against polygamy which has been introduced, the democrats in congress have steadily opposed »11 legislation for its suppression. When in the majority in the lower house they would not allow the republicans to be heard upon the subject at all, and all attempts at legislation were promptly etrsngled. For twelve years the denso crats succeeded in evading or eluding vote upon a proposition to suppress polygamy. Committed or opposed to it in ono houaa they were certain to postpone it out of existence in the other, the Mormons becoming stronger in the meantime. When the Edmunds bill was reached on Tuesday the usual filibustering tactics were resorted to by the democrats, but it availed them tiolhing. Every amendment offered was promptly voted down, and on the final vote to pass the bill there were forty-two dfmocrats who voted against it. It is to be hoped that after the bill has become law it will be rigidly enforced. There is a super-abundance of dead letter legislation on the statute books at the present lime without adding any mora to the collection. Now that the decree has gone forth sgainst polygamy it should be enforced.

JUDGE SAMUEL BLATCHFOBD. But little seems to be known of the latest addition to the United States supreme bene houUide of New York,bnt if we may judge from the manner in which the papers of that state speak of him the president has made a most excellent selection. Even the democratic organs are loud in their praise of him. The Tribune says:

The pretldent has at last sent to the senate the name he should have sent first. He hits nominated Judge Blatchfor£ for the supreme bench. It "Is an appointment of perfect fitness, and no man will deny that It strengthens the court and gives New Tork what she has not had since Judge Nelson's day—a suitable representation on it. It is a great pity that ihe office should have been cheapened before its offer to Judge Biatchfordby being used to pay political debts and compliments. The president, doing the right thing late and reluctantly, will receive far less redit for a nomination which ought to have brought him general praise and good will. But let that pass. We can all commend the appointment of Judge Blatchford without reserve. He has ability, learning, long experience, and the judicial temper. He has a strong constitution, and the habit of work. Withal he is of Independent fortune, indifferent therefore to the beggarly salary paid our highest judicial officers, end free from the temptation to leave the bench after a little for the larger profitB of the bar."

The Tiroes' commsntjh as follows "The nomination by the president of Judge Blatchford tc the vacancy on the supreme court bench is one which will be entirely and universally approved. Judge Blatchford is not only a '.learned and acute lawyer, but hs is an experienced judge of eminent and established reputation. He ha* already been for fifteen years in toe federal judiciary, eleven as judge of the Southern district and fonr as circuit udge. Besides tfc general qualifications which he possesses, he is specially siilllul in the pattent laws, and has probabJy no superior in this particular and peculiarly difficult branch of juri'pmdence. His appointment will, therefore, not only complete the number of the supreme court and strengthen it generally, but it will add to its force in a direction particularly desirable. It will also fcave the eBsct of Increasing the respect felt for the court in the large circle in which Judge Blatchford is well known and highly honored."

Even the Sun cannot help being enthu eiastic over the appointment Hear it: 'President Arthur yesterday nominated Samuel Blatchford to be associate justice of the supreme court. Henry Clay said that to be right was better than to be president The saying was true then, and it ii true now. But to bo president and to be right at the same time is, indeed,, glorious. Chester A. Arthur has out done Henry Clay."

Doubles thfsa papers all know wheriot they apeak, ted donbtlws Jndge Blatch ford on the supreme bench is the proper man in the proper place. The appoint-

kmentw«

a long

time

coming, and wxa

beset with difficalieo, bat BOW that it hau been made every one 'is highly pleased, and the president has once more fnrnifhed convincing evidoace that he is msking his selections with caution and skill, and that he has determined to make no mistakes.

SHIPIJBT VS. THK CITT OF TEBRK HAUTE. This case was brought in our circuit court about eight years ago to test the liability of the city as a stockholder in the Cincinnati and Terre Haute railroad company. It was a test case, and upon its decision rested many others, aggregating considerably more than $100,000. In the circuit court the decision was in favor of the city, bat the supreme court reversed it and sent it back for trieL On several rcessions the plaintiffs in cases pending have offered to compromise, and have finally succeeded. Yesterday by agreement, the plaintiff's demurrer to the defendants answer was overiuled, and the case being called for trial was decided in favor of the defendant. The sura paid by the city to defendants is $3,000, and it also pays the court coat?, amounting to probably $200 more. As there was much doubt, regardiog the rfsuit of a trial, and as the litigation wouU have been long, tedious and fxpcqoive, the termination cf the capes in this manner cannot ba viewtd in any ether light than an advantage tj the city.

A. C. Stoteldo, charged with the murder of bis brother, is in solitary confioement in the Washington jJ. From all accounts he 6eems to b* bordering on insanity.

His solitary confinement is in strong contrast with the case of the presidential assassin, who is allowed to receive callers and sell his photograph and autograph.

The Philadelphia Press arises to make the following sage remark: "Esde is not fool enough to think that the big ehip railway scheme is going to be shoved through congress now. No repiesentative is going to vote for it with the election in full sight next fall. All the work this session is merely preparatory until ntxt winter, when the usual host of defeated members will be ready to vote for anything."

Elaborate reports of the Yorktown centennial celebration are to be made, aud an attempt will be made to have them printed and distributed, lu the meantime there is a deficit of $35,000 in connection with the celebration, for which there seems to he no hurry in makiog an appropriation.

Are Farmers Prohibitionists? Indianapolis N6ws. A gentleman who has much to do with the farmers states the temperance leaders must not depend too much upon the country districts for the prohibition vote, as many of the farmers, indeed the majority of them, according to his own judgment, were opposed to prohibition, although in favor cf temperance. He thought, therefore, the advocates of prohibition were destined to disappointment in the vote they expected to get f.om firming communities.

Pope Leo Xllf. continues to observe, as Sovereign Pontiff, the austere habits for which he was distinguished while in the lower orders of the church. He invariably rises at 6 in the morning, and at once says mass in his private chapel. Soon after he attends a'pecond mass, said by the almoner on duty, and then eats a light breakfast. The remainder of the morning he spends in reading the papers, conferring with Cardinal Jacobin!, Secretary of State, and giving audiences to official visitors. Al noon he takes exercise in the Vatican garden?, returning to dine at 2 o'clock. After dinner he retires to his private rooms to work and pray. An hour before evening prayers he takes a short nap. and then a walk through the halls. At 9 o'clock he s^ps, and at 11 retires to bed.

WASHINGTON, M&reU 15.—This morn icg Jacob R. Shipherd, accompanied by his wife, appeared at, the rooms of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, investigating the Peruvian affair, and was sworn. The chairman inquired in relation to the four missing letters and asked if he wrote such letters (describing those indexed at the State Department) to the Secretary of State.

Answer—It is my rccollecliott that I did. Witness 6tated that he had expected to prepare copies of the letters alluded to but was unable to complete them before leaving New York. He had.copies of the missing letters in his letter books and of all the letters sent and received, and could prepare copies, but as some of the letteis were quite lengthy and he would naturally wish to look over and compare the copies he might have made, he would require some further time.

The chairman made several inquiries in relation to the letters and asked if his subpeena did not require him to produco his books and papers.

Shipherd replied, "I was not aware it did." Witness produced subpeena and read from it. It required him to produce copies of all the letters written by him to Secretary Blaide. under specified dates, copies of all letters written to Secretary Evarts and James G. Blaine between June 1,1879 and Februaiy 1, 1882 also copies of letters written to any minister, consul or officer of the United Stales referring to the affairs of Peru, Bolivia or Chili, or any matters, property or busi ness in which he waB interested in these states also all letters received

kby

him

from either the Sccrctary of State or from any minister, consul or other United States official. Shipherd stated that as ho understood the subpoena it would take his secretary at least two weeka to make copies of all the correspondence called for.

Rice suggested that delay might be avoided by Shipherd sending for his letter books and producing them before tho committee. Shipherd replied that the books contained a variety of private letters and he did not wish they should run the risk of transportation. He had no doubt, however, they could be forwarded on an order to his secretary. He desired to know the construction which he should place on the words in the subpoeDa, "other officials of the United States." Conceivably there might be correspondence with members of Congress and other parties and he was not quite clear whether the subpeena was intended to cover that. He further wished to know whether the intent was to call for all correspondence which might have passed between him and persons connected with the government, or limit it to the correspondence touching Chili and -Peru, and finally whether (if the latter only) the committee desired all such correspondence or only such as referred to the possible official action of the officials with whom he had corresponded.

Rice replied that it was intended by the committee that Shipherd should produce ail the letters which he had received from that somewhat broad class of persons known as the United States officials, as well a9 from all parties connectcd with the State Department or other de partments of the government.

The committee then went into secret session (Shipherd and wife remaining in the room) to determine whether the witness should be permitted to return to New York personally to superintend the copyins: of the correspondence called for, or whether an order should be issued directing that the letter books be forwarded to Washington.

The cor.i ittee in secret session adopted an order i, the effcct that Shepherd be required to furnish the committee with all coiiespondence to any United State3 minister or official of the State Department touching the subject of the matter of inquiry also all letters addressed to witness by such officers and relating theieto, and all correspondence and copies of correspondence between aforesaid which will throw light on the subject matter of inquiry also all other correspondence and copies of correspondence in his possession which may tend to show any relation of such officers to the business transactions referred to in the resolution of the House under which the investigation is being made. Further investigation was postponed till Saturday. Shipherd will return to New York this afternoon to arrange the papers in accordance with the decision of the committee.

A FLEA IN THEIB EARS.

Some members of the House Foreign Affairs committee are dissatisfied with the instructions of the committee given to Shipherd to-day in relation to the production of his correspondence, and Express the opinion that there is a tending to restrain the scope of the investigation. 8hipherd testified very promptly and intelligently, and manifested an apparent willingness to give the committee the benefit of all his knowledge in asking what correspondence of his the committee would want. He intimated quite plainly that he had letters from some members of Congress and inquired if the committee wanted these produced. There was an immediate whispered conference among some leading members of the committee, the result of which was that the room was cleared for a secret session. The committee remained in secret until it adjourned and there was, it is said, an animated discussion as to what correspondence should be demanded of Shipherd. Some members insisted upon calling for the facts in Shiphcrd's possession connected with the matter before them but instructions were finally adopted and issaed to Shipherd calling Jot his correspondence with persons connected with the United 'States Foreign Service and State Departments, but not including members of Congress. In the committee meeting it was complained that the instructions to Shipherd really left it discretionary with him as to what correspondence and papers he would produce, and alter some discussion the instructions were broadened but made not broad enough to include correspondence with Congressmen. It was this feature that caused dissatisfaction, but the mem-

bers of the committee say they think the instructions will be made broad enough at the next meeting to include the cot-1 respoodence .with all persons in the mfclic service.

THE SOLDIERS' HOME INVESTIGATION. The testimony of Geo. Sturgis, military governor ol the Soldiers' Home, before the Senate investigating committee, is made public to-day.

He charges that the choicest products of the farm, dairy and conservatory, have been delivered "to two members of the board of managers at their residences, and materials and mechanics have been used in adorning their houses at the expense of the government. burgeon-General Barnes and Commissary-General MacFecly are the two members named.

MISSISSIPPI IMPROVEMENT. Gibson's bill appropriating $6,113,000 for the improvement of the Mississippi river will be favorably reported to the House.

WASHIKGTOIC, March 15.—Vest, in a speech in the Senate this afternoon* on the subject of appropriations for the Mis* siesippi river, said the difficulty in the way of getting adequate appropriation for that rivet was that each year the House passes an omuibns log rolling bill called the river acd harbor bill that members united in voting money for their own districts in that bill, and swelled it to such proportions that nothing can be obtained for great rivers. It is evident that a hard .fight will be made this seesion against the river and harbor bill in both House and Senate, and other Congressmen from the Mississippi Valley besides Vest will oppose it, on the ground that it prevents a proper appropriation to the Mississippi Valley.

BLATCHFORD ACCEPTS.

The President has been notified that Judge Blatchford accepts tho associate justiceship.

WASHINGTON, March 15 —The Dspartment if State sent to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, yesterday, copies of the telegraphic correspondence between the department and the Legation at London respecting the imprisonment of Americans in Ireland under the coercion act. The cases of McSweeny and Hart are especially alluded to. Ia bis negotiations regarding the former, Lowell failed to obrain from the British Government any information beyond that contained in the warrant of arrest, but was assured by Lord Granville that McSweeny's conduct brought him under the coercion act, and he could not be released Hart's reputation ii bad, and he will not promise to behave better if set at liberty. Lowell does net believe either of the two is more innocent than the majority of persons arrested.

CORRECTION.

In the House yesterday Springer, of Illinois, was erroneously reported as stating that he opposed the anti-polygamy bill as being unconstitutional. What he did ssy was that he gave his hearty assent to that portion cf the bill which was directed against the'institution of polygamy, but thought that other parts of the bill, instancing ninth section, were unnecessary to the extirpation of that crime. As the House tad refused to strike out that section, he would take the bill with all its objections, in order that good might come in abolishing polygamy, even at the risk of doing wrong in other respects.

IN A SHOE FA9TORT.

LYNN, MASS March 15.—A boiler in Goodwin Bros', shoe .factory exploded this morning, leveling the building and killing several men. The fire department was quickly callcd out and immediately went to work to remove the debris. From the end of the building near Exchange street one poor fellow, badly mangled, was taken out. His first woras were, "There are more in there." Soon after the dead body of John Moore, engineer, terribly crushed, was uncovered, and half an hour after another body was found. Four men who usually came to work at 6 o'clock every morning are missing.

A portion of the boiler weighing a ton was thrown a quarter of a mile to Newhall street, striking a house in that street. It glanced across and drove itself into the front doorway of the house of Council man Burrill. Had the accident happened half an hour later the loss of life must have been terrible. Fifty people work in the building above tho boiler and fortunately had not arrived when the explosion occurred. Another piece of boiler went through a large covered walk across the street leading from the street to the scene of the catastrophe in the opposite direction from that portion which flew to Newhall street.

Cowart, a prominent lawyer. A bitter feeling has existed for nearly three years between the parties, arising from political animosities. They met in the Court House, yesterday, exchanged ugly words, in which Thurmond appears to have been tho sggressor, when both men almost simultaneously drew pistols. Cowart fired first, the ball passing through his antagonist's head, causing isstant death. The statements of witnesses indicate a clear case of self-defense.

Horrible Bites of ihs AissaouiaBlackwood's Uasaxine. The hall had been evidently dtcked and garnished the lamps burned bright-, ly in the cupola amid the golden balls and ostrich eggs the 8heikh was clothed in a rich silk robe of office, and the aweinspiring green tnrban, and a row of rush-seated cane chairs was waiting to receive the expected visitors. In ten minntes six or seven hundred Arabs filled every inch of available^ space._ The" Sheikh Hamuda teok his seat in the-" center, surrounded by the musicians, ®nd an old blind Aissaouia, guided by a little girl, c*me in gently from a side door »na sat down beside him. The Asscouia theffl^ selves oecapied the whole space covered by the cupola. The aisles contained the Moslem spectators of the first rtligious rites ever witnessed_ by Christian eyes in the Holy City of Kairwan. Among the Aissaouia I noticed gray-bearded and decrepit old men, many, sedate looking shopkeeper# 1 bad previously seen in the bsZ'arr*, half a score of the Bey's soldiers, aud a dcean children under twelve years of age. The Sheikh struck a note on the dvC^ the musicianbegan to play a peculiar and monotonous tone, gradually increasing in intensity. After a psose several of the Assaonia rose, snd swaying backward and forward, shoulder to shoulder shrieked a chorus to the sound of the drums. Ta» music quickened, and so did the chorusV Then oce of the most wildlooking of the singers began to throw off his clothes, and passed down the line to urge the others to shout with renewed energy. Then one of the Tunisian soldier* (he wore the Bey's brass badge on his red cap) raised a sword and began to lacerate bis stomach. The blood flowed freely, and he imitated all the time the cries ana movements of the camel. We soon hsd a wolf, a bear, a hyena, a jickal, a leopard and a lion. One man knelt down before the Sheikh, and, holdiagjtwo long prongs to his sides, insisted on their being drivtd into his flesh-with blows of a mallet. Thirf was done. A mere lad did the sam0 thing. A burly Arab prseed an iron skewer through the upper part of his nose, and transfixed the skin of his face below the eyes. He rushed apparently toward us. Two or three powerful.meo knocked him down, and held him till the Sheikh laid his bauds on him and whispered some mysterious formula in his ear. Another man in quick succession swallowed more tbsn twenty large iron nails, there being no mistake whatever as to his really doicg eo. A large bottle was broken up aod esgerly devoured. The frenzy Ihfn became general. While one Aisaacuia j/unged a knife through his cheek, bnotl transfixed his shoulder blades with a p:ong, and a third pierced his hand. A br zier of cinders was speedily emptied. Twenty different tortures were going on in twenty differ eo parts of ihe hall. Three large bushes oft the thorny Indian fig or prickly pear were eaten in almost as mnar minutes and at last, before we had tium to prevent it, a living sheep was thrown into the midst of the maddened Aissaouia it was ins trice torn into shreds by esger hands and still more eager mouths, and its still quivering snd binding iesh gnawed to the bones with apparent relish.

Poking Ftux at the United States Navy New Vork Sun. A short time ago one of the officers of the Navy Department received from a friend in Santiago, Chili, a number of Chilian newspapers with marked articles sbusiDg the United States in general terms, ridiculing Blaine's proposed American Congress, and lampooning the United States Navy in particular. Oae ol the papers contains a larps cartoon representing the dostroction of the United States Navy by Cbilisn fleet.
