Vegetable Sicilian HAIE EENEWER was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure disease of the scalp, and the first suc cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to Its natural color, growth, and youthful beauty. It has had many imitators, but uone hare so fully met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp. Hall's Hata Rexewkb has steadily grown ia favor, and spread its fame and usef ulsetr to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal leled success can bo attributed to but cme cause: the entire fulfilment of it$ ptvmiui. The proprietors have often been surprised at tbe receipt of SfdefS from t emote coun tries, where they had never made an effort for its introduction. Tbe use for a short time of If all's HAia Rexeweu wonderfully Improves tbe per sonal appearance. It cleanses tbe scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It Stimulates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigorous growth, The effect of this article are net transient, like those of alcoholic prepara tions, but remain a long time, which makes its use a matter of economy.

Should thJ average parson ha told, aa a World reporter was yesterday, that only a fraction af tbe garbage over leaves tba city ha would naturally be very much sui prised. It ia resurrected, it ia said, from ash beapt aad ferar pragnant mounds of filth to be cleansed and waabad and boiled and (ban served up under tha title af baef stew, aoup, hash, bread pudding and fricaasa on tba table, of tha cheaper raataarants of tba city, to be paid for at tba rate of 10 cents a piste by tba poor of Naw Yoik. An inspector on one of tba publie dumps said ycaterday that ha bad long wondtred bow it waa possible for Cbat ham stieet cafes to sail dinner! ao cbaaply, and ba thinks tba explanation is shown by standing for an hour at any of tba dumps of tha eity. A little distance above Twentieth street, on tha North ttlver, about op posite where tbe ill-fated steamer "Kiserdale" went doa-o, la one of tbe regular dumps. Tha garbage and dirt are piled up in itnKing and pictore eaque pyramids on the docks, with little cinder-ma.Jsj paths runnine bail m. them. They rary in color and height. Some are brown, others dark brown, others black and some again white, and ook like immense bodies rotting in tbe sunshine and spotted with disease. Be fore them on the street are marshalled wag ns and carta aa vari -colored as tbe dirt heaps, and present a barricade suf noiently strong to drive away any one with nostrils from tbe checkered piles behind tbem. Oo tbe other side of the street tbe gin mills that bloom in that ocality form an interesting back-ground to tbe picture, with tbe bartenders and rogular roundels st the door to enliven tbe scene acd give it a touch of life and reality. In the eerly mrniag yesterday there paaaed a string of men, women and children between tbe wagons, aad Are minutes sfterwsrde ware parched upon the heaps, while tbe ting of hook and shovel sounded pleasantly oo tbe air. Tbe men were without eacoption Ital ians, ail dark, swarthy men, with faoee aa black and dirty as their elotbes, aad the females were their wives snd daugh ter The women in the majority of eaees were bags, with wrinkled yellow faces and fingera as lean and long aa tte bookr thejr held. The Italians wba do this work form a busy little community among them selves and aa each one went to tbe heap of gsrbage be saluted bit men compan ions and nodded to the girls. By 9 o'clock tbe little city waa in a feverish burst of activity, carta bad some in from the Street Department and were dump ing tbeir eargoee down on the treasures sought for by book and shovel and every one waa busy. Tbe inspector of the dump, a jolly, red-faced fellow, walked among tbe Italians apparently as much at bome aa though he were across tbe street. There," be said, "ia where all tbe beef stows come from, as wall as hash. I don't eat bash myself, and lately I knocked off stews. I am liviog alto gether on corned beef. Cabbage ? Well, no ; I ain't eating cabbage. I gave tbst up with stews and eonp." When asked to prove his assertion tbe inspector took the reporter by tbe band and lit a cigar. The reporter also accepted a cigar, although tbe inspector told him it was a very poor one. not in tended really to smoke and enjoy, but as a fnmigator while going through the dump. Then be led the way over the blsckened path and closer by the water's edge. There tbe piles were larger and looked as though tbe disease had gotten into their vitals and waa bursting out from every inch surface. A slime bordered tbe dock, beginning ia a yellow color,-then turning blue,and as it spproscbed tba shore growing greener until it seemed like a patch of grass growing from the water. The very atmosphere was fetid and thick. The Italians worked laborious) v. The w men were down on tbeir knees and plunged tbeir books into the dirt-heap, bringing up pieces of -bread, cheese, scraps of meat, eosl, wood and rags. Tbe coal aad rags wero put in ooe pail, snd the bread and meat in another one. Not tbe smallest particle escaped their eyes, and everything was draggel to the surface, even though they were, com pelled to bury their bands among tbe repulsive treasures in tbe filth. Same of the men could tell where tbe best leads were, in tbe same way that min ers seek out veins of gold and silver. If tbe sui lace bore any traces of small coal, then tba pile came from Fifth avenue barrels, and under must be buried the refuse of some stylish table. Home of the Italian girls were quite pretty but equally Sltby. They sat on tbe heaps with torn and faded gewgaws on their beads, but in tbeir black eyes snd regular features a trace of besuty might be aeaa rapidly dissolving there smong the boors and sickening odors. They smiled at the Inspector and looked dubiously up at the reporter, wonder ing wbat any one with a wh le coat could want there in the city of gai age. "All tbeae dumps," said tha inspec tor, "are let montbiy by tbe Depart ment of Street (.leaning to tbe firm of Oblcarillodi Fcley. ObicarilL. ia an Italian and Foley ia Irishso am L Tbia firm sublets tbe dumps to tbe Ital ians. A good dump is sold by tha de partment ai About $300 a month sometimes higher, sometimes lower leiending on tbe seaton of the year and tbe condition of tbe market. Dumps have been lately pretty good. Tbe Jul iana collect all tbe stuff, pile it up in heaps during the day and sell it in tbe morning." "To whom do they sell it ? wss asked. "Now," said tbo inspector, "I can not give you any pellicular nsme, but you mar believe me when I say that it la aold to the restaurateurs. Ever morning a leetaurant wsgon comes to tbe dump and this stuff is shoveled into it. It is taken down town to tbe eaat aide houses and cleaned and ia made up aa oleomsrgsrini ia Tba ltallana pad dle the ceat and sell the rega to tbe junk-shops. That's all right and I don't find nay fault with it, but I have eaten lime and lime again in tbe Bow ery end I used to like soup snd beef stew. I revolt sasinst it when I aaa familiar bones come up. Never be without a cigar while you are on a dump. ' On all tbe dumps in tbe city the work goes on in tbe asme way, and ia done by tbe lepresentativea of tbe same country. At One Hundredth street in tbe middle of the ashes and diit there towered towards the sky an immense mound of cane. Moat of th cane were covered with rust aad bad held tome toes and meats. Cane," said tbe iustor, "r. o. th 50 cents a load. The v uau i hem for refilling. Oace in a while siokoeas and death follow, as ia Brooklyn cbe other day. They eay tbst refilled cans caut- 1 it. Banes and meat scraps vary ia Tbe I tali. n that rune tbia heap makes a clean profit of about $40 a week, and tbia ia not a very good heap for meat, but it's a dsisy tor coal and wood." Tbe reporter walked down it.to the land of beef -slews and bad cockts.. n Chatham street yeeterdsy and inquired of a prominent caterer wbere be bought his meat and vegetable. "Right from the slaughter-house and tbe fsr msr,'' be answered. "Buy bones from Italians ! Me ! Ob no, never. If you think we do I'll prove to you wo don't." "How V wss aaked. "Hike P cried ibe caterer, "bring tbia gentleman a beef ate" with plenty of gravy." The reporter thanked tbe kind hearted restaurateur, but assured him that be bad jest dined. .V. Y. World.

Congress hss scted upon seme Im portant questions during tho week. In the Senate the event waa the pass age of the Educational bill by a vote tf three to one. On the last dsy of tbe debate It was determined that the measure should be disposed of before adjournment, and the weary Senators were compelled to sit up with tbe bill until eleven o'clock p. u.,. before a vote was reached. In its modified form, nearly all of the Republicans favored (ba measure, and most of the Demo crats wslved their Constitutional scru ple and voted for the appropriation ; for, while there art two views as to its str'ct legality, there la oo differ ence of opinion as to Us practical ben efits. The amount waa changed from $105,000,001, to be expended In ten years, to $77,000,090, fo bo paid io eight years. If the House paasee the bill the South will have about $70,- 000,000, to help ber In qualifying her Ignorant masses (hat have been armed wllh (ho ballot for clUsenship. Ko- Hghtmont la expensive, but tho lower House i likely to decide, with the Senste, that It Is economical In (he long run, and that we roust have It The enormous proposed eipenditure Is only proportioned to the vast evil with which It will have to cope. Tho most notable action of I bo House of Represented ves waa the de feat of tha Converse resolution to re store the duty on wool. There was a brief but earnest debate. durinsT which the body was uumuitly quiet and attentive and the vote waa follow ed carefully. Conereasmsn Hard marked the occasion with a free trade speech which was received with great spplause. Ha aald he had boon aaked by tbe Democratic Legislature of Ohio to vote to restore tna duty on wool. He had great respect for that body and for its Individual members, but he would do nothing to ma e woolen ciotbing dearer to the mooring rtsssaa of this country If every Democrat In Ohio should ask him to do It Tho party that triumphed through taxation and monopoly, would have eatwloed tbe leaves of Its laurel with a prison vino, that will cause them to wither even while they wero being gathered. He did not want his par ty to come Into power unless it was to give freer trade to the people, larger wages to tbe laborers, better invest ment to capital and greater glory to tbo American cama on the' high seas and among tbe nations of the earth. The House also defeatedd tbe bll to give laods to Indian farmers Indi vidually, and tbe bill to reduce or abolish the tax on spirits distilled from grain. Congressman York took the position that all taxoa should bo re vealed as fhr as was consistent with the needs of the government, while Mr. Mi II ikon apoke against making whisky free, and keeping the tax on necessities of life, on bread. Tho House gsva some attention to the bill for tho erection of fifty three Government buildings in as many cities and towns, devoted a day to legislation for theTerritorles and re celved a hundred bills, resolutions, petitions and memorials, which were read and appropriately referred Statesmen of the upper House are now trying to chioge the Naval Ap propriation bill to the shape favored by the Senate committee, which means $6,500,000 in execs of the amount voted by the House. In the courso of some remarks Senator Mc- Pherson said that while the Govern ment persisted io keeping the present Secretary of the Navy, it could not wonder at a lack of confidence in the Navy Department. Senator Halo re- tsrted that it would be impeasiblo for the New Jersey Senator to take hia seat without getting off some bile against Secretary Chandler ; where upon Senator McPherson referred the gentleman from Maine to the news papers of the country for oppoeltion bile. Senator Vest explained the de cline of the American Merchant Ma rine In a long speech and arraigned the Republican party because, having had charge of the Government since 18(51, the country was still without a Navy. Senator Halo replied that in the last twelve years the Democrats had been in power both in the House and Senate. Mr. Vest said they had a little sporadic control of the Senate and House for about three months but he wanted to know what they could have done with a Republican President. Senator Beck told the Maine Senator that if he would go in to the detail of the naval expenditure of the last twenty years, the ofllcia records would prove rottaness and cor ruption in the administration of the funds. The London stall keepers still con tinue to think It unh.cky to refuse the first bid made f r their goods during the day, and will make their first sale at loss, rather thau to send the customer away empty haaded. TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT. KOtTKD BY TfB women luriiuii Trmperasee iBior a nun ass) WMOLaaoaiK ie rnisr.. Met newer however than tbe old ssying of an old poet who in ridicale of many prescriptions of physic,ssk "And what at last shall 4m J,y these ? Only a costlier disease. That wbieh masts as have no need ')f physic, that's pbysie indeed t Alcohol and its compound will not fall under this class of physic, and it is a pleasant thing to note that the Boston Journal of Chemistry aad J 'ovular Science New$ in its April issue cornea out editorially in the ststement that spirituous liquors are not needed ia medicine or the sits. Not tbat aleohol msy not be sometimes convenient, or even useful, but is not indispensable or necessary in tbe two great departments when it baa hitherto been'Tegarded as the one accessible vehicle for tbe pro oeaaoa of chemist ry or tbe solution of drugs. Tbe si tide in question aire decides that no necessity of household or domestic applications cf alcohol ex ists ; that tbe alcoholic solutions of camphor, peppermint, paregoric and tbe tinctures once fouod on tbe top pantry ahelf or in tbe family medicine cheat, are remedial agents ol very doubtful efficacy ; that camphor as a drug is net needed in any household sav s. sn insectitude; Ibst hot or cdJ waUr serve the purpose of an embrocation fsr better tbsn slcohol tbst even the bay rum of the toilet table is a useless spendsge. As to tbe need ef slcohol in the drug Store, (bis high authority maintains tbat it is no longer needed to held tbe active principles of opium, Peruvian bark or other drugs and vegetable pro ducts ; tbe most effective of tbeae, like qaaaais, gentian, senna, rbubarh, etc , yielding their beneficience to water aa ily aa to alcohol. And aince tbe active alkaloidal aad reeinoidal princi ples of ruota, barks, and gums have been isolsted, and pat la better and more convenient forms, theie ia ao longer need of alcoholic tinctures and elixirs. Ia the laboratory, the question "How to dispense wi;h alcohol," may be not ao aaaily disposed of, yet even here, aaya the writer io tbe Popular Science h'ewt, if tbe srticle were bsaisbed en tirely, such exilu would not deprive us of a single one of tbe indispensable sgents which modern civilization de mands ; neither would chemical science be tetarded by its loss. Modern science has given us glycer ine, nsptbs and sulphate of urbon, carbolic acid and a bundled other agents which can take tbe place ef alcohol in a very large number of appli anoea and processes. In the manufac ture of ether and chbn foim wbere aleohol is moat indisjHjnssble, it msy be p reduced simultaneously with these agents. For the naturalist, cheaper and equal goo! material for preserving his specimens have come into use. Neither city nor household depend onger on slcohol for purposes of ilium- tnstien. The petroleum well and thef coal bed here driven it from the nietk- et. The dictum of medical science i fast being pronounced against the wines sad iqnors of commerce . aa medicinal agents, and in all cases of disease when an alcoholic stimulant would seem ben eficial, other agents are now offered to the praetioner which serve an equally useful purpose, and have none of the evila of the alcohol train. The results ef scientific researches are on our side. Tbe experiment of medical practic e entirelv without alohol has been suc cessfully carried on in the London tem perance hospital for seven years, and is now no longer experiment hut scientific theory. Of tbe need of such an insti tution io our owa country and its im mediate inception we shall have more to say next week. The true place to introduce plain instruction aa to the nature and effects of alcohol is the school house ; the true time is childhood. Experience bss proved that a very amall proportion of drunkards are permanently reformed by either moral efforts or by inebriate asylum. Drunkenness is both a dis ease and a sin ; the State recognizss it as a crime, and subjects the drunkard to arrest by the police. What folly snd injustice to punish tha intern pei ate man, and yet neglect to teach the yoelh the real nature of tbe drinks that will make them criraicals 1 Ibis is worse than folly--it is suicide on the pact of the State.
