Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which is at once
agreeable,
healthy, and ef
fectual for pre-
serving the
hair. Faded or
(jraij hair \s soon
restored to its
original color,
U)ith the gloss and freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Noth
ing can restoro the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can bo saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make, some preparations dan-
gerons, and injurious to the hair the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
H. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambric,
and yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.

THE OFFKn TO GENERAL LEE OF TUB COMMAND
OF THE FEDERAL ARMY.
CUIIIIFAT OPINION,
ng purely '
t York
Mr. Allen R Magnifier, of Winch ester, Va.,
contributes to the Philadelphia Weekly Times a
letter from Gen. It. E. Loo, dated Lexington,
Va., February 25, 1808, and afifirosRefi to iho
Hon.Reverfiy Johnson, then a United States
Senator from Maryland. Tho letter is in re-
BponRO to a charge made in tho United StaloR
Senate by Hon. Simon Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, that Gen. Leo had applied to President
Lincoln for the command of the Federal army
dcRtined to invade and subdue the Southern
StateR, and that, being refused, from pique and
roRcntment ho turned and offered bin sword iu
aid of the Southern cause, and thus was ralRod
to the chief command of the Confederate forooR.
Mr. Johnson denounced the statement as un-
trno, saying that although ho hnd not tho au
thority of the accused to deny it, General Lee’s
lofty character and unstained honor alone suf
ficed to repel the charge. This elicited from
General Lee the following letter:
“Lexington, Va., February 25, 1608.—Hon.
Reverdy Johnson, Untied States Senale, Washing
ton: My Dear Sir—My attc tion has been called
to the official report of tho debate in tho Seuato
ol tho United Slates of tho 19tli inst., in which
you did me the kindness to doubt the correct
ness of the statement made by the Hon. Simon
Cameron in regard to myself. I desire that yon
mav feel certain of my conduct on the occasion
referred to, so far ns my individual statement
can make you so.
"I never intimated to any one that I desired
iho command of tho United States army, nor
did I ever have a conversation with but one
gentleman (Mr. Francis Preston Blair) on the
6ubjeot, which was at his invitation, and ns I
understood, at tho instance of President Lin
coln. After listening to his remarks I declined
the offer he made mo to take command of tho
army that was to be brought into fhe field, stat
ing as candidly and oourteonsly as I could that
though opposed to secession and deprecating
war, I could take no part in an invasion of the
Southern States.
“I went directly from the interview with Mr.
Blair to tho office of General Scott, and told
him of the proposition that had been made to
me and my decision. Upon reflection after re
turning to my home, I conoluded that I ought
no longer to retain the commission I held in tho
United States army, and on the secoud morning
thereafter I forwarded my resignation to Gener
al Scott. At the time I hoped that pence would
have been preserved, that some way would have
been found to save tho country from the calam
ities of war, and I then had no other intention
thnn to pass the remainder of my life as a pri
vate citizen. Two days afterward, upon the in
vitation of the Governor of Virginia, I repaired
to Richmond, found tho convention then in ses
sion had passed the ordinance withdrawing tho
State from the Union, and accepted the commis
sion of commander of its forces which was ten
dered me. “These are the simple facts of tho
case, and they show that Mr. Cameron his been
misinformed. Yonr obedient servant,
“R. E. Lee.”
Tho country is in favor of resumption. It is
also iu favor of remonetization. The two go
hand in baud. — [Cincinnati Times.

Aid to the Mississippi lovoos and to a gonuiue

Thera seems to be a tbeologico-political at
tempt to form a Liberian Ring. Bishop Gilbert
Haven, well known in Georgia, is giving the
Bcheme a boost through the North Americau
Review, aud sundry agents are working up the
case among the credulous negroes of the South.
What Bishop Haven wants we know not, unless
it be the rapid extinction of the negroes who
fall into his trap. According to his own show
ing, no people have ever had the same chance
in money, material and active sympathy as the
Liberian colonists, aud no people have so utter
ly failed to come up to the level of the outlay.
With the pertinacity of the fanatic, however, he
seeks to rescue what is already as good ns-lost,
aud so tries to convince the legislators ot the
country that the way to prosper is to seek an
outlet on tho western const of Africa, and from
that point, we presume, to the Mountains of the
Moon. It happens, though, that just as the
sanctimonious Haven is “bulling” Liberia stock,
Secretary EvnrtR iR ‘’bearing” the wi m‘, by au
thority. The Department ol State has furnish
ed exhaustive information on this subject. Tho
soil, wo are told, is fertile aud the country beau
tiful, but the climate is deadly. Horses, mules
aud donkeys cuuuot live there. Although con
stant Summer prevails, the miasmatic influence
caused by heavy rains alternating with hot sun
shine, causes sickness, during six months of tho
year, and during the remaining six months the
power ot the sun is such that it is almost im
possible for auy except natives to work. Little
or no progress has been rnado iu civilization and
agriculture. The startling fact is p esentefi
that Liberia has never produced sufficient food
for her own home consumption; aud although
she should be a great rice growing country, rice
is imported from England and other countries,
aud sold at $4 a bushel—twice the cost at which
better rice could be grown aud sold there. Flour
is $14 a barrel, butter $1 per pound, and hams
from $5 to $8 each. Other provisions are pro
portionally high. There is not a plow iu use in
Liberia, and the agricultural implements are of
the most primitive character, such as cutlasses,
hoes, billhooks, etc. There are no public
schools. The immigrants have to compete with
the native labor. The natives are strong aud
hardy, and oue of them will do the work of a
horse at fifty cents a day.
We dare say, between Bishop Haven and his
emissaries, quite a number of negroes in the
South will be induced to spend their little all iu
gettiug to Liberia. We are equally well satisfied
that they will rue the day they ever left this
country to go among strangers. We know, from
the experience ot tho past^that very few of the
many who may go will eve* tte able to get back
to this oouptry. Probably >Gol. D. W. Aiken is
right in encouraging this movlmeut, because it
is a partial removal of the .' barrier between the
8 »uth and whiteJ to migration;; hut it is the duty
none thei le*s of humane mfip "jBp warn the poor
dupes that they are being l$d, by pretended
friends,into a terrible abyss.— Augusta Chronicle.
In his sermon, at Gen. Forrest’s funeral, Rev.
Dr. Stainback, said: “On the 14th November,
1875, on a calm Sabbath evening, Bedford For
rest and his now stricken wife entered this
church and took their 6eats. I preached irom
the parable found in the great sermon on the
moaut, where the builders ou the rock of faith
and the builder on the sands of false hopes are
contrasted. At tho close of the discourse I pass
ed out aud found Geu. Forrest waiting at the
door. He took my arm aud wo passed to the
pavement below. There ho stopped abruptly,
and trembling he leaned against the wall, and
os tears fell from his eyes said: “Sir,your ser
mon has moved tho last prop from uuder me,
I am the fool that built 011 sand—I am a poor,
miserable sinner.” The lorni which never trem
bled l-efore the t-loutest man seemed all shaken
‘My clear General,’ I said, I thank God tor this.
If you are tho foolish builder, you ure iu the
host way to get upon the rock. I told him how
‘God so loved the world (hat He gave his only
Begotten Bon that whosoever believeth ou Hii
should not perish but have everlasting life,
Then I gave him (he 51st Psalm to read,
called at his room the next night and talked
with him and prayed with him. At the close of
the prayer he arose and said: ‘I’m satisfied.
A 1 is right. I put my trust in my redeemer.
Siuce that time, my friends, I know he has fluid
many things not like a Guriutia t, aud done ma
ny things that ho should not have done. But
no man ever felt this more keenly than he did,
When I saw h m on Thursday ho confessed how
far be had done wrong aud brought reproach
upou the cause of Christ. ‘But,’ said he, ‘God
has forgiven mo.’ Raising his emaciated hand,
he pointed to his breast'and said. 'All is peace
here. I want you to know that between mo and
my God there is no cloud. I am at peace with
God.’ I bowed my head upou my hand and
wept for joy. S lid I: General Forrest, I thank
my God for this.’ Thun he gave mo this mes
sage: “Tell my brethren aud sisters that dur
ing six weeks I have lain in my bed aud com
muned with God. Tell them to take up their
cross and follow their Savior. Tell my old com
rades in sin to give their hearis to God and seek
a higher, holier life.”

While oue of our sportsmen was hunting late
ly in the Tree Pinos country he killed a fawn
aud left it on the ground logo in pursuit of other
game. R-tumiug a short time alter, he found,
to his amazement and horror, that a huge ser
pent was coiled around its body. Judging from
the mischevious look oi the reptile’s eye, the
nervous curving of its neck aud the threatening
poise of its elongated head that it would not
surrender the prize without a fight, tho hunter
conoluded to retreat and lake aim at the glitter
ing thief at long range. After Beating himself
behind a rock a hundred feet distant and getting
his nerves somewhat steadied for work, he
blazed away aud spout about twenty charges of
treble B shot without any effect. Feeling his
pulse, ho oouelnded from its rapid run he must
bo nervous. The snake by this time had un
coiled itself from the carcass and had twisted
itself iu the form cf a corkscrew, ready for a
spring. With a manly effort our hero controlled
himself and gave a fin. and steady pall at the
trigger. The serpent’s head was nearly seveied
from its body by tbe shot, and its form was al
onoe relaxed and stretched out proue and pow
erless upon tho ground. When the hunter con
sidered it safe ho advanced to get a closer view
ot his victim, and in stepping over the ground
found it measured twenty feet in length. The
body was as large around as a child’s waist
While looking ou and wondering to what genus
of large serpents it belonged, he was horrified
to soe about 120 small suakes twisting, hissing
and emerging from a nest close by. Each par
ticular hair of his head stood on end, and his
legs were suddenly electrified with wonderful
motion as he skedaddled like a racehorse from
the scene. There is a uon-venomous serpent of
the boa family in California, but it attains full
growth only in warm climates. This one was
of uncommon size, and some of its offspring
may yet nttract the attention of nataralists.—
Gilroy (Cal) Advocate.
A Diseased Puese.—The present financial
condition of our country should teaoh us the
true value of eoonomy. No man or woman who
can buy one dollar’s worth of goeds with fifty
cents should think ot spending the dollar, yet
it is done every day. Bailey’s Saline Aperient
is warranted equal to the best in size and quali
tyand is sold at only 50 cents. It is just as
pleasant as sodh water. 48-2t
Neither child or adult can have a rosy,
bright complexion when worms exist. Shriner’s
Indian Vermifuge will remove the worms and
purify the system.
