jave an antipathy to all so-called hair restorers. A few weeks ago, however, giving way to the persistent entreaties of a friend, I tried Lyon's Kozothluin. Iam telighted with it, My hair, which was very gray, haB been restored to its former natural color. It Is no longer harsh and coarse, but Is smooth, glossy andhealthTul, and my scalp leels bettor than It has tor years. 1 cheerfully bear testimony to he fact that Lyon's Kozothlum Is a true restorer of the health and natural color to the hair, and heartily endorse It. It Is aot only a cleanly remedy, but it is an admirable hair dressing, and now that I Know Its virtues I would not, under any Mrcumstances, be without It.

One of the strongest objections to the Deming site for the High school is the fact that the great majority of the students live north of Main street and a great proportion in the northeast part of the city.

The Gazette settles the question as to the admission of lower Dakota by saying: "Statehood is being made too common. Let them tarry as territories until their beards are grown." In the absence of any good reason for opposing the measure now being considered by the senate the Gazette has certainly found a very flippant argument.

THE STATE'S FINANCES. The auditor of state has submitted his report for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 2884.' The document is long and filled with statistics from which the following facts have been gleaned: Cash in treasury at the beginning of the year $503,927.19 at close of year $431,206.59, receipts from all sources to general fund during the year $1,522, 915.79 total receipts to all funds 783,465.08, of which in addition to the general fund, $1,943,312.73 was for school revenue tuition fund, and $264,894 for the new state house fund total amount of warrants drawn on general fund $1,495,680.04. The statement of the public debt shows that the foreign debt is $607,825.12, and the domestic debt $4,244,763.22 total $4,876,608.34. The domestic debt money which the state owes to herself on school fund bonds, the interest upon which paid semi-annually constitutes the tuition fund of the Indiana school system which is apportioned among the several counties.

A recapitulation of the charges upon the general fund shows the cost of the several departments to be as follows: Ex ecutiye and administrative, $42,968.70 benevolent institutions, $467,433.09 penal institutions, $178,240.56 judiciary, $221,044 educational institutions, $26,644.98 agricultural societies, $1,500 public printing, $21,563.87 miscellaneous, which includes $234,286.99 for interest on the non-negotiable school bonds, $165,514.36 for the additional hospitals for the insane, $29,278 for interest ou temporary loan bonds, $28,939 for completion of women's department of insane hospital, and also the expenses of the state board of health, departments of geology and statistics and other state bureaus, a total of $536,339.98 grand total of the state government, $1,495,735.54.

The state auditor, as required by law, submits for the information of the next legislature estimates of the receipts and expenditures for the years 1885,1886 and 1887 He estimates that with the present tax levy of twelve cents on the $100 the receipts from all sources will yield revenue of $1,422,361.47, and that the current expenses, including $100,000 for the cost of the legislative session, will amount to $1,338,936.60 leaving only a balance of $83,424.86. There are certain outstanding -debts created during the past year, and* growing out of expendi tures made necessary under the law, which the incoming legislature must, the opinion of the state auditor, necessarily meet. These amount to $57,500, and would reduce the balance to the close margin of $25,924.85 for the year 1886. He, therefore, discussed the propriety of an additional temporary loan as a means of completing im provements for which the state has contracted, and the levying of an additional tax out of the proceeds of which a sinking fund might be created to gradually liquidate the entire temporary loan debt, He also suggested to the legislature the passage immediately upon assembling of the general appropriation bill, which failed in the last session, as the best means of legalizing the temporary expedi ents which the »tate officers have been obliged to resort to for running the state institutions in the absence of an appropriation.

Wc are foread into the belief that the mind will become diseased by steady application to one subject, and that the disease is manifested oftener in those who are interested in the arts. One of the most striking instances of this fact is the pitiable condition of the dramatic critic of the New York Tribune who has been writing of Irving's ideal of Hamlet that it is "fused by passionate intensity into one continuous, fluent strain of vital personalty." "Intensity" is what "ails" the Tribune man and his brain needs a vapor bath.

"At the present moment thought has started in a current of exaggerated humanity by which man is pitted against

God, and under the cry of liberty, progress and the rights of man, God and religion are assailed in Europe by open hostility to the Catholic church, in America bv widespread indifference to religion. Outside of the Catholic church religion is banished from the school, and our youths are reared Vithout God or religion. The sky looks dark indeed. Morality is on the wane, and the standard of truth and justice steadily sinks. Our public men are no longer chosen for their honesty and ability, but for their availability. The unity of marriage has ended in divorce and polygamy. Our youth are irreverent. Blasphemy stalks thro' the land, and drunkenness and lust are a stench in the nostrils."—[Bishop Gilmour at the Baltimore Council.

display type for its advertising columns Indianapolis Journal: The Terre Haute Express, a handsome and enterprising paper, which admirably covers its field, has advanced its advertising rates in consequence of the fact that within the past year or two its circulation has more than doubled. Of this paper it may be said with sincerity,that it deserves its success.

The great increase the circulation of the paper has also justified arise in their advertising rates. We congratulate the proprietors on these evidences of prosperity. The Express did noble duty in the late campaign, and seems bound to keep pace with the giant strides Terre Haute is making towards coming a great commercial center.

Patti's Ex-Husband in Demand, London Truth. We have all of us been to weddings, but until within the last fortnight none of us have been to the counter-weddings or dismarriages, as they are called here. That of the Marqnis de Caux was a quiet affair, got through by attorney and with out any other striking feature than the constatation by the mayor, girt in a tricolored scarf, of the divorce decree against Patti, and the marginal insertion thereof on the leaf of the register on which the

Eetween

reclamation of the banns of matrimony her and the Marquis de Caux was recorded. Patti was married in Chapham and Mario and Grisi provided the wedding dejeuner at their villa. But numerous formalities were gone throu, in France, so that "the charm should firm and good." M. de Caux, if he chooses, can again commit matrimony under advantageous circumstances, wealthy and thrice-titled English dowager would have no objection to occupy the place which Patti vacated. I know also a rich American widow who would be glad to figure in the world of fashion as Marquise de Caux. She has two in cumbrances in the shape of charming daughters, who are only ambitious of returning home (by which they mean going back to the United States), and finding husbands there. But it seems that the dismarried marquis is satisfied to remain free. The vie de garcon which he has led since Patti broke away from him has been that of an intelligent epicurean and skeptic.

What Js In Store for Cleveland, New York Special. "I think I see him now, under such circumstanpgs at the head of this hungry party when the awful rush begins, as it will begin, trying to carry out his little reforms of the governor's, and mayor's, and sheriff's offices, and doing his firm and honest, and obstinate act. He wil be like a chip trying to dam the old current at Hell Gate. I never knew a president who never visited Washington except once on business, never sat in a deliberative body, never attended state or national convention of his party," never was on the stump in a campaign, and never met or was personally known to the leaders of his own party. And this is the man who pro poses to walk into the greatest and most trying office on earth, and stand like a rock between the offices and the spoils and such a hungry, thirsty, mad old party as the howling Democracy. Well well he has my sympathy, for I know he will feel like committing suicide before he is in the White House a week, and finds how big this big world is, and how desperate is the party he represents. He will be the best hated man in the world honest in|his intentions though, as lieve him to be."

An Informer's Handsome Fee Toronto Slobe. Roland Kane, customs officer in Montreal, has earned a reward of $60,000 from the United States customs department for giving information to the collector at the aorder of diamonds and jewelry brought to Canada from England free, and then surreptitiously transferred over the border without paying duty. The total amount seized in two years on the information supplied is $130,000 worth. The secretary of the treasury in Washington has written to the informer and acknowledged his claim. The invoices attempted to be smuggled in ranged from $5,000 to $25,000.

The Mexican Legislature. A Mexican correspondent of the New York Sun, asserts that the congress of our sistftr republic is the quietest and most dignified legislative body in the world.

Weeks and months pass away without a speech of any kind, nor even a point of order.

OATH ON GRANT.

An Interview with the Nation's Hero— Bis Forthcoming Book Oath's Letter.

I met General Grant, and in a few sentences of conversation I said to him "I see that Mr. Foster has made the Spanish treaty."

General Grant replied: "I have not seen the treaty, but I do not think I shall favor it, if it is what I expect it is—a treaty in which all the concessions are made by one side." General Grant had a fine, healthy skin, strong, rich brown hair, the alert and lion look we all are familiar with who have talked with him and he told me that he was writting his memoirs, Said he: "I have to get up pretty early morning to go to work."

Said I: "General,do you dictate any portion of that work?" "No," said he, "but I think that some parts of it I could make better if I did dictate them."

I intimated in a minute that he could easily get a secretary. General Grant said: "But I can not afford one."

This book of General Grant ought to be a really great performance, not merely in the style but in the moral strength of the statements coming from a man who is both chivalric and courageous.

The same afternoon I met Mr. Chaffee, Said I: "Mr. Chaffee, what kind of reminiscences is General Grant writing?" "I Understand," said Mr. Chaffee, "that he is writing his recollections of his career between the surrender of the Confederate army under General Lee to him and the close of his political administration."

All who were present applauded this selection of Grants career as the most needful to be portrayed. Said Mr. Chaffee "I never knew General Grant to be so interesting and original as when reviewing the events of Johnson's administration A great many things happened at that time, when I was a delegate in congress that I knew nothing whatever about, aric Grant is informed about everything."

General Grant preserves the home] simplicity of his character, that whic! has so much attached to him men of all parties who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. If he had been a successful man in business I have my doubts whether he would have retained as many friends. People would then have said "Grant is a man of talent, and ought to have succeeded at anything."

But it was his fate to be the victim of the most remarkable swindle in the business history of the country, and the depth of his distress was so silent and' profound that the meanest enemy was moved to ity. When he was a public man, and lis critics and contemporaries stabbed him, he took it all without a murmur, but these last injuries came from his own household—voun^ men who, supposing that they hall business grasp, we the unconscious actors in a delusi

were made ion. The

brave old gentlemen, looking aroand to find some place to catch hold of and support himself, for the first time reflected that he had pessessed^ a career, and that it might be interesting to the people. Consequently Grant's book will be due to his distresses, and to them it might be justly dedicated.

In this book now being written by his own hand posterity will see the most remarkable simple man modern life has ever known. Born about 1822, he was almost 40 years old before he had any success at all. He had no vices in early life,

lisiifi

SB*

but he did have temptations, and they were unable to break down the iron fabric of his constitution or the iron simplicity and purity of his character. He seems to have been made poor on purpose to give him the grasp of fortitude and perseverance which he so abundantly displayed on the magnificent theater of the young American continent, and which he embellished as no painter on the globe ever embellished some great cathedral with his paintings and statuary. Yet-no great artist ever more truly represented the spirit of the Christian religion in- his victories. They were for man an^ his salvation. Not all the apostles who came from the feet of Christ ever wandered so far in their attempt to overturn old paganisms, and put the genius of humanity into the laws and institutions of countries as Grant fighting for the slave.

The Romance of a Pardon. Charley Stevens, "Omaha Charley" who was lynched at Maryville, Mo., once was pardoned eut of the penitentiary of Missouri. The story is told as follows: After his confinement in the penitentiary Charley Stevens was what is known as a good prisoner. He was obedient, gentlemanly in his bearing toward the officials, and thus ingratiated himself into their

findsgraces.

ood He was handy with all of tools, and many hours given him on account of sickness were spent in making little fancy articles, snch as ladies' woi'k bexes and writing desks. One day he saw Governor Crittenden's little 8-year-old going through the prison and inquired who she was. When told that it was the governor's daughter ho sent her manylittle presents, the work of his own hands. One day he tfas introduced to her at her solicitation, and a tender at tachment grew np between the murderer and the pretty daughter of the governor. She called to see him often, and never left him without carrying home with her some trophy of her visit. One year ago last month the governor's little daughter sickened and died. For a fortnight before her death she was scarcely at any time conscious, but in a radical moment, when the governor leaned over her bedside for a kiss, putting her arms around his neck-she asked him to promise th»t if she died he would give Charley Stevens full pardon. On January 2, 1883, a few weeks after the death of the child, the get'ernor kept his word and "Omaha Charley" was turned out of the peniten tiary, the governor never making the official record of his reason for granting the pardon.

Violating Military Etiquette. Washington Letter. The reprimand to General Hazen contained in Secretary Lincoln's report, ad ministered on account of General Hazen'i comments in his annual report upon the Greely relief expedition, has created con siderable excitement in army circles. It is said by those whose length of service and distinguished record entitles^ their opinion to respect, that Secretary Lincoln has violated military etiquette. Grant ing that General Hazen's expressions were out of place, these officers say that the secretary of war had no right to ad minister a public reprimand except in puisuance of the vercfict of a court martial. His proper course, they say, would have been to return General Hazen's re port to the author for the elimination of the offensive remarks. Probably the matter will be made the subject of a con gressional investigation, not only

Mrs. Smith's Case, and whatthe Rev. Mr. McRtn»try ha* to say about it.

To THE PUBLIC: have been a fearful sufferer for fifteen years, most of the time with what has been called Eczema or Salt Rheum, Psoriasis and Lepra, and the like, and have always been told there was no care for me, and have been so discouraged that I had as soon die as live. I have been so badly afflicted sometimes that there was not the smallest spot from the crown of i:y head to the soles of my feet that was not diseased and QS red as crlmSon. It would commence in small white spots which had a silvery appearance, but were not deep, but If I attempted to heal thero, or soon after their first appearance, they would barn and run together until there was a complete dry, red scale, which would become so inflamed as to crack and look fiery and angiy, and the burning sensation would be almost intolerable.

I was at times so lame that I could scarcely get about, and could not dress myself withont assistance. I have tried many remedies, and have paid S110 in a single Instance to a physician, but have ever obtained only temporary relief. Although helped for a time, I soon relapsed again to oe as badly troubled as ever, and during the winter of i881 and 18821 sufiered so mucu as to be entirely discouraged. Last June, however, I was advised by Elder and Mrs. L. C. McKinstry, who are well known ln these regions, to try your Cuticura Remedies ana I felt somehow a little courage, from their favorable opinion of them, to try their virtue. About the second week of July lfest 1 commenced taking the remedies, and within six weeks I began to see a permanent Improvement, until now (Oct. 1) I am about as good as new, and my flesh is as the flesh of a child.

The Great Eastern's Mission. Brooklyn Eagle. The Great Eastern has been chartered for a year for $5,000 by an enterprising body of men. Their notion is to take her to New Orleans as a hotel, to 6tay there during the great exhibition. She will arrive in all respects complete, stores and stuff'. The ship is provided, among other things good for man and women, with 24,000 bottles of champagne—every tiling else is on alike scale. It is expected that the ship will soon be full of lodgers, who will, if only for the novelty of the thing, take up their quarters on the Great Eastern but there will also be a daily influx of guests to the table d'hote, and so on, ana the bar business will be lively beyond precedent. The Great Eastern will perhaps be one of the biggwst novelties during the exhibition. Whoever conceived this idea is a smart man, as there is money in it.
