This done and the check returned, the teller looked at the endorsement, then at the first signature, and again at the endorsement, smiled distractedly and said: "If I had not myself Beeu you write t^ose two signatures would not pay this check, for they
not at all similar."

DKATII OF A TEACHER—TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—In the GAZETTE of yesterday appeared an item from the Indianapolis Journal regarding the removal to her home in this city of one of the teacners of the Sixth Ward of that city on account of a severe attack of sickness. Just before going to press we made inquiries and learned that she died Sunday, but could not learn her name. We have since learned her name to be Miss Lizzie Jones, late a stuuent of the Normal School of this city, and a lady universally loved and respected, by all who knew her, for her noble qualities. We publish below the resolutions drafted at the Normal School:
WHEREAS, In the dispensation of Ilis Providence, _Jod has eallw] from us our dear friend and schoolmate Miss Lizzie Jones, who but a few tys airo was among us in the happy enjoyment of health and a life which ^ave great promise for future usefulness therefore.
Resolved. That in ,' he death of Miss Jones, lie X- rma^ School iu .i {., ,t one of its mos^-e-.rr.est, faithful, and conscientious students, her teachers a pupil whose avoiv i\.. aim cueuriuircvss in performing every assigned task, rendered it a pleasure to teach, and her parents an only daughter, dutiful and loving, tha light and joy of the home circle. llesolved, That in our affliction we recognize the hand of God, and by in humble subiaitsicn to His will, believing that the loss which we have sustained, and which we deeply feel, is the gain of a home to her whose every action endeared her to us.
Resolved, That we shall ever cherish the name of Lizzie, for though her life has been cut early and suddenly off", we feel that she still lives—ever with us in the nood words and works which she dispens- to all—thus evincing a purity of character which should influence us to make our lives pure and beautiful.
Resolved, That the sudden removal of the departed is but another evidence of the uncertainty of life, and tnat the Allwise Father has also taken this method of saving unto us—"-Be ye also ready."
Resolved, That we, the members of the Normal School, deeply sympathize with our President and his family in this hour of affliction that while we sorrow with them, "we sorrow not as those without hope." The Lord gave that sweet life an existence here fr a brief season only that season is ended, and Ho has taken His own unto Himself.
Resolved, That as a further mark of respect to the memory of our friend and to the family, the regular work of the Normal and Model Schools be suspended until Tuesday morning.
Resolved, That a copy of these "resolutions be presented to tne family of the deceased, and also to the city papers tor publication.
The Moral of Mrs. Fair's Conviction. Some unthinking people are wondering at the verdjet of guilty rendered against Mrs. Fair, the murderess, whose trial has just ended in San Francisco. They contrast it with the verdict reudered in this city a year ago in the case^of Daniel McFarland "aud express surprise that a woman who, by her own confession, has been an accomplice of a married man iu wronging his wife, should not have been placed upon the same footing with an outraged husband avenging himself upon the invader of S.is domestic peace.
The truth is that the San Francisco jury, in convincing Mrs. Fair, acted upon the Kime principal as did the New York jury in acquitting Mr. McFarland. They expressed, as distinctly as they were permitted to express it, their judgment that no mercy should be shown to the person, whether man or woman, who violates the sanctity of the marriage relation. The result in both cases is a warning to female as well as male libertiues to expect no mercy from an American jury, should they ever come before one. Indeed, if Mrs. Fair had been killed by Mrs. Crittenden, instead of killing Mr. Crittenden, the act would doubtless have been approved by a jury. The condemnation of Mrs. Fair is an emphatic declaration that her free-love doctrines and practices are not recognized or approved by the people.—N. Sun.
THE manufacture of garters and suspenders is a business of greater magnitude than is generally supposed. According tr a Boston paper, two factories, one at Waterbury, Conn., the other at East Hampton, Mass., have each a capital of $300,000 and produce about $2,000,000 each per aunum. Their suspender production alone is 500 dozens per day, each. There are about one hundred smaller manufacturers ofsuspenders, whose average daily make is from twenty to one hundred dozens. The ranging sale of suspenders is **ixty cents per pair, and of garters eighty-five eents. The highest cost suspenders are fifteen dollars per pair high cost garters begin at fifteen dollars.
THE beautiful Mrs. Fair, who killed her "darling" Crittenden iu San Francisco, according to medical testimony, was at the time, "amanie," and had also "retrocedent gout," "metatasis," "dismenorrhea," "catamenicals," and "isomania," besides being subject to "idiosyncrasies."

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
IiiteresliHg Particulars of His Habits. The Ilerald of Health, for May, contains the following:
The following letter from Mr. Bryant has been placed at our disposal for publication iu the Herald of Health, by Mr.
contains a lesson of such value to the thousands of young men of our country regarding simplicity iu diet, temperance and exercise, that we hope it will be read by all of them, not so much to gratify idle curiosity as to gain knowledge that may be of great service to them iu the conduct of their lives.
NEW YORK, March 30, 1871.—To O SEPH RICHARD.-, ESQ.—Dear Mr: I promised some time since, to give you some account of my habits of life, so far, at least, as regards diet, exercise, and occupation. I am not sure chat it will be of any use to you, although the system which I have for many years observed seems to answer my purpose very well. I have readied a pretty advanced period of life, without the usual intimities of old age, and with my strength, activity, and bodily faculties generally iu pretty good preservation. How far this may be the effect of my way of life, adopted long ago, and steadily adhered to, is perhaps uncertain. "I rise early, at this time of the year about 5£ in summer, half an hour or even an hour earlier. Immediately, with very little incumbrance of clothing, I begin a series of exercises for the most part designed to expand the chest, and at the same time call into action all the muscles and articulations of the body. These are performed with dumb-bells, the very lightest, covered with flannel with a pole, a horizontal bar, and alight cbairswung around my head. After a full hour, and
sometimes,
{or
osition,
more, passed in this
manner, I bathe from head to foot. When at my place in the country, I sometimes shorten my exercise in the chamber, and, going out, occupy myself for half an hour or more in some work which requires brisk exercise. After my bath, if breakfast be not ready, I sit down to ray studies until I am called. "My breakfast is a simple one—hominy and milk, or, in place of hominy, brown bread, or oat-meal,or wheaten grits, and, in the season, baked sweet apple. Buckwheat cakes I do not decline, nor any other article of vegetable food, but animal food I never take at breakfast. Tea and coffee I never touch at any time. Sometimes I take a cup of chocolate, which has no narcotic ettect, and agrees with me very well. At breakfast I often take fruit, either in its natural state. or freshly stewed. "After breakfast I occupy myself for awhile with my studies, and then, when in town, I walk down to the office of the Evening Post, nearly three miles distant, and after about three hours return, always walking, whatever be the weather or the state of the streets. Iu the country I am engaged in my literary tasks till a feeling of weariness drives me out into the open air, and I go upon my farm or into the garden and prune trees, or perform some other work about them which they need, and then go back to books. I do not often drive out, prefering to walk. "In the country I dine early, and it is only at that meal that I take either meat or fish, and of these but a moderate quantity, makiug my dinner mostly of vegetables. At the meal which is called tea, I take only a little bread and butter, with fruiL if it be on the table. In town, where I dine later, I make but two meals a day. Fruit makes a considerable part of my diet, and I eat it at almost any hour of the day without inconvenience. My drink is water, yet I sometimes, though rarely, take a glass of wine. I am a natural temperance man, finding myself rather confused than exhilarated by wine. I never meddle with tobacco, except to quarrel with its use. "That I may rise early, I, of course, go to bed eany in town, as early as 10 in the country," somewhat earlier. For many years I have avoided in the evening every kind of literary occupation which tasks the faculties, such as com-
even to the writing of letters, the reason that it excites the nervous system and prevents sound sleep.
My brother told me, not long since, that he had seen in a Chicago newspa-
The Republican Ku Klux.
Probably the first case to come before the United States Courts in the South, under the provisions of the Ku Klux law, will be that of three Republican office holders in South Carolina. Some two or three weeks ago the safe of tne Treasurer of Abbeville county was broken into and robbed of $15,000 in money, none of which has yet-been recovered. The chief constable of the State has succeeded in tracing the crime to three brothers named Guffin, originally Northern men, but for some time residents of Abbeville. One of the ruffins is a member of the* Legislature, another is Probate Judge of the county,and the third is the Mayor of the town of Abbeville. All three have been arrested and are now in close confinement in Columbia. The chief coustable says he has the most indubitable of their guilt.
It woiild be a singular thing if the Ku Klux force bill, which, as is claimed by its framers, was intended to suppress disorder throughout the South, should, after all, do something toward accomplishing its purpose, in an indirect way, by removing the cause of these disturbances in the persons of dishonest officials and scalawag adventurers.

As to my deafness, you know that to be false, and the rest of the story is equally so.

HAIR VIGOR.
AlER'S
For the Renovation of tlie Hair! The Great Desideratum of tiie Age A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the
ed to its original color and the ry'o,-s rma freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where
the follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clcan and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the Ijairfrom falling oft, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

VINEGAR.
A O A I TO THE TRADT
In returning my thanks to the trade for their liberal patronage in the past, and soliciting a continuance of the same, I beg leave to state that, having made extensive addition to my works, and increased facilities, 1 am now prepared to fill orders with promptness and dispatch.
The VINEGAR which I manufacture from cider and distilled spirits is entirely PURE, and FREE FR ALL MINERAL, ACIDS OR OTHER POISONOUS INGREDIENTS SO FREQUENTLY USED IN ITS MANUFACTURE. It is both clear and of beautiful color, and made from the best ana most wholesome material. I warrant it to keep pickles both clear and fresh for years, thus making their consumption not only agreeable, but healthy.
Owing to the popularity and increasing demand for my Vinegar, I shall hereafter, for the better protection of myself and my trade, in addition to my well-known brands, use also a "TRADE MARK," and all persons are hereby cautioned against using the same, and I shall prosecute any and all parties sodoing to the full extentof the law. Country merchants can obtain my brands of
Pure Cider, White Wine, Double and Triple ,. Vinegar,
Of any of the Wholesale Grocers of the city. Having been established but comparatively a short time, I yet have, by the manufacture of a superior article, created a demand which has warranted me in the erection of the largest works of its kind to be found in the United States and having the same now thoroughly systematized, I am enabled not only to give a better and purer, but also a cheaper article to the public than any other knowu manufacturer. Price list furnished on application.

PRINTING INK. ^4
OFFICE OF THE WHIG COMPANY, QniNCY, III., Maich 23,1871.
AFTERforin
having tested the various printing inks sized and calendered paper, which are offered the market, we have given the preference, over all others, to the quick drying inks manufactured by the Gray's£eny Printing Ink Works, Philadelphia. When using Patent Roller Composition, in hot weather, we have sometimes found it impossible to distribute other inks, when theOray'a Ferry would work to our entire satisfaction. al7dl2w2
