It is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for pre serving 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 cured. 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 otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Yioon 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 the 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 Vigob is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and wiil not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowoft Mass, 3 State VOL. XVII.

"You will .find dry things snd a jug of hot today iu your drtsting room, do.'.r, " slio aay-' and thi. is thf? revenge ho take on me fur my scepticism. The poor old woman is carried up h' i;rj and placed in a warm bath uieh r my wife's direction, aud before the doctor arrives she has ah own some faiut rivmptoms of life; ao my wife Ma U mo word. Ir. Bruce shakes his bond when he sees her. "Poor old soul,' ho says, "how come she out on sacJb a fsarftt night? I doubt she has receb ! a shgek which, at bar age, she ' i. ,l easily get over." TU, msnogo. however, to force a few r.p. ofifuU of hot brautly and water do'.vii her throat; aud presently a faint color flickers, on hor chewk, ani the poor old eyelid hgia to tremble. My wiforai ii s her head aud uiakr n le r sr. allow some cordial which Dr. Bruco has Rronght with him antl lays he: hack among the soft, warm pillows. "i tbinkshc will rally now." Hays Dr. Bruce, as hr breathing becoiuos moro regular and audible. "Nourish ment and warmth will do tho test, bat alio hns received a shock from which I fear Mio will never recover." And so :i ing ho Ukea his leave. Py aad by 1 go up to tho t com. and find my wil'o watening aloaa by the sged aufi'reri She lutks at me with tears in her eyti. "I'oor old sou'," aim says, "1 am aftaitl She will uot rally from tho cohi.md exposure." I go round to the other sido of the Eh i and look down upon hsr. Toe aged fitco looks wan and pinched, and the scanty gray locks which lio ou tho pillow ate' still wet from tho snow. Sho is a very little woman, ai far as I can jmlgo of her in her recurabont position, uud I hhouod think had reached her a't-vt't-J three score years and ten. "Who can she h;!" I repeat, wonder ingly. "Hho does not belong to any of the villages heroabouts or wo should know her face, and X cannot imagine what could bring a stranger to tho moor on such a night." As 1 speak, a change uass over her face; the eyes unclose and she looks inquiringly about her. She trios to speak, but is evidently too weak. My wife raises her and gives a spoonful of nourishment, while aho says soothingly. "Don't try to apeak. You aro among friends, am' when you are better you shall tell me all about yourself. Lio still now and try to sleep." Thog-uy head drops pack wearily on the pillow, and soon wo have the satis faction of hearing by tho regular res piration, that our patient is asieep. "You must como to bed now, Jessie," I Hay. "T ahall ring for Mary and ahe oin sit up for tho remainder of tho night." But my wife, who is a tender-hearted soul and a born nurse, will not desert hnr poslj bo I leave her watching and retire to my sOlitaiy chamber. When we meet in the morning I 3nd that tho little woman has spoken a few words, and aeems stronger. "Come to with mo now," says my wife, "and lot us try to find out who she is," We find'hor projjied into a reclining posture with pillows, and Mary beside hot fending her. "How mo you no?"' asked Jessie, bending over her. "Better, much bettor, thank you, goou iauy, mho ssys in a voice which trembles from ago as well as weakness; "and very grateful to you for your goodness." I hear at once, by tho accent, that sho ia Knglish. "Aro you strong enough to tell run how you got lost on the moor, and where you catno fiow, and where you wore going?" continued my w ife. "Ah! I wan going to my lad, my poor lad, ami 1 doubt I shall never see him motel" aaya the poor soul, with a long sigh of weariness. "Whero is your lad, and how fr have you come V "My lad ia a sobli.-r at Kort Uoortfc. nil 1 1 have come all tho wav from l.ivi rpool to se,, him and five him hi a .a a a m . m 010 BSOtaei hlessti y ladore lie yoes -j the Indies."

His royi neat wa qnsricred t Fort (icwe, and he wrot j regularly to his mother, his letters getting tuoio cheerful and hopeful every day, until suddenly he wrote to say Ihat'liH reyiment was ordered to India, and b 'tuiug her to send him her blenning, as he had Uot naOVgfc money to cany hi:n to aver pool to seo her.

"Hi name is John Salter," she nsyoj ' ho is a tall, hnndsonn la l ; Uoy Li;o him by that." I haSCenei down fctsirs and write hhot t ijotr to Qbt. sfroentftu. who n I know intimately, informing him of the circumstances hedging thst he will al low John Salter to come over at once, ami I despatch my groom iu the dng rirt tb 1 o m ay bring hir.l b.o I v. iiji out loss of time. As I return to the houfto af'.or fo ing him start, I met Dr Bruco leaving tlu l.jnse. "Poor old soul," h say. "Her troubles are n rly over site is sitik hag lint. I almost doubt wnethcr sbp will live till her sou comes." "How sho could havo accompHafied sucli a j-mrney at her ago, I cuiuot un derstand," I observe. ''Nvjthin is irnpoasible to a mother," aaswers Dr. Bruce ; "but it has killed her." I go in, but 1 Bad 1 cannot pcttb- to tnv Uhiial occttnntionK. My thoui'hts t . r. a. aie with the aj;d heroine Wiio is ilying up stairs, and jreently 1 yield to tbo fascination that draws nm back to her prosonoa, As Dr. Bruco says, she is sinking fust. Sho lies back on the jiillows, her cheeks as ashy gray as her hfttr. Bhe clsaps my wile's hand in hers, but her eyes are wide r.jvn, aud have an eaijer, expectant look in tlu iw. "At what titno m ty wc expect tlieun" whispori my wife to m. "Not befoio four," I aus.ver in the same to,. . "He will bo too late, I fear all : is gutting rapidly weakor." But love is stronger than death, and she will not go until hor son comes. All through the winter's day ahulios dying, obediently taking what nour ishment is given lier, but never speak ing oxcept to say, "My lad, my lad 1 God is good ; ho will not let mo die till he comes." And at last I hear tho dog-cart. I lay my linger on my lip and toll Mary to go and bring John Salter up very quietly. But my caution is needless ; tho mother has hoard the sound, and with tho last efl'ort of her remaining strength she raises herself and stretches Vut hor arms. "My lad ! my lad !'' tho gasps, as, with a great sob, he springs forward, and mother and son aro clasped in each other arms once more. For a moment they remain so. Then tho little woman sinks back on my wife's shoulder, nnd her spirit is look ing down from Heaven on the !ad she loved bo dearly on earth. Sho lies in our churchyard under a spreading yew tree, and ou the stone which marks her roating-placo are in scribed the words, "Faithful unto Death." Our Laddie has gained far Rprond renown for his good workft, end as I Bit finishing this short record of a tale of which he ia the hero rre lies at my feet, our ever-watchlul, faithful companion and friend.

Jn fact, there is no such thing miumi;' Demo crats in this Kta'.o as a "bos,." Those who would liko to be "Irosrea" bar taken warning from the deserved fato wf John Kelly and others, and havo concluded to le governed and guided by the gnat, good judgment of tho masses of tho party as expressed fully and openly in tU- pi im tries' con ventions of tho aarty. In fsct, no parly, anywhere, was ever in better erudition to havo ita wih fully carried out than tbo Democrats of Ore gon aro today.' TJp to the present timo, no Democrat, ro far as the writer I has been tbe to learn, bap expressed a j deairu to lecoine a csndidato for any rv.ate ouice. it is true thai the great mass of the party is fully and earnest ly discussing tho question na lo tehom (tnij trill wk" rnn'lulnte, nnd many names are prwossd for (Jovernor, t'oi riSman, Supreme J udgo, btc., by the voters ; but no candidates have, so far as knowu, as above stated, announced themselves. Among Ropdbliaaas th'ro is net much said about eatviid it. 1 outside of l'mthtnd at. I Salem. . Li the latter place a clique has been formed bet wean tho present .i.cuinbents of S:atc ofliceis to secure nominations for re-election. Mr. Karhnrtt very anxious for roeloc ti n and is bending every nerve to secure a aautinaUtm at the hands of his paity. He is not near so popular aa be wa-i f .ur years ago, though those who know him best say that he is vsin enough to think that ho is. Your cGi teipuidt nt, while in Salem, heard many lb publicans ooraplain that Mr. Kit hail ha 1 mad t-)u many promises t!.a!.c Isilea to make it safe to put him before tho people sgatn. It i said that ha promised cUrkship, tfnjo kuqer, etc, at tbo Asylum building ta MOMi f persons whin ho must hav. known that he could not possiblv tnal.t his promise good to more than i one. If ha, also (it is said by those of h?a KliUeal paity who opposn him,) m.tde prouios to scores of Kopablicsn Lio:t that he wutild gi.e them work cn tho A avium building, and would thtn give the work to Dr-mocrts hop ing thut to secure tho support of these Democrats for ro alection ; and it is now f.aid that wiian he undertakes to W why ha should bo renomioated, he says there are u nniaber of Domo crcta in Salem who will vote for him. Those Republics. ,b who oppose him say while h say :: t a few Democratic votes in Salem ho. wiil Ioo three times as many Bepublicsn votes Many Repabdicsns, not only in Salem, but throughout tho State, will oppose him if it is unritTstoods that his present assistant is u be appointed ftgsin in esse at the Secretary's ra-electioa. Mr. Hfrsch is also eaid to le working quietly but efTictly for re nomination, and is nowfr more popular than Mr. I jforhAv though.somo man aay with peculiar twist of the hea I that if he ii renominated thoro will bo put to him questions which ho cannot possibly answer satisfactory to the voters of the Stato. By those who aro in a position to know it is said that Judgl Lord is exemplifying the tactic of a full-grown and experienced Dominion in his at tempt to convince his party that ho shoul I bo renominated. Tha Judge has norther lost nor g.iinod popularity so far by bt iug ou tho houcb, but tho deciYiou in Portland's Mayorality case of Simon v.m. Thompson will create opt.o.-utioo to him. Ilxvev.T more of that case anon. It i Slid by partit a who havo tha knowing that the-to three gentlemen (Messrs. Lord, Etrhait and Hiwch) have entered iuto an agreomout ofTon sivo whereby each of the partttt-is obligated to do all in his pOWOV to bo curo the nomination of tho said three parties as against tho nomination of any other men. It is understood thai thin influence is to be joined with that ot J. H. Mitchell fjr United S ates Senator, and thus control the organiza tion and Tiolicy of tin party in this State. This will constitute the "Stal wart" element, of tho party, while the "Half-breed" elemont will be led and controlled by tho Orcjn.it tn, D. P. Thompson and others. Of course every man acquainted with Oregon politic knows that Mitchell, Lord aud llirsch are all "Stalwarts of Stal warts," while Eirhart is "anything to everybody." To a "Stalwart," ho is a "Stalwart." To a "Half-breed" a Half-breed," and to all of them is a smooth, oily-tonguol candidato for ff3 xretary of Stato. A ''Half-breed" Bays that the Stxte House elique hold out inducements to C. 0. Bockman to become a membor of the close corporation and become their candidate for governor, with the understanding that ho ia not to be nominated. They also hold out in ducements to Moody of Tho Dalles to become thoir candidate for governor ; and, while professing friendship for JProf. Powell for superintendent of public instruction they have determin ed that ho shall not be nominated. And while all thia machinery is being polish el, oiled and put in motion to secure the spoils, the Qreyonian, in anguago tea plain to be misunder- NO 22. stood, informs those self fame place hunters "that it will not hereafter support for official positions men who .,.'. ! ..a - - a a. it . m wj siiu awive t,o get mere, ro go nairrst tho machine is s rule which sn iscreascd number of citizens intend henceforward to observe, and bosses. place hunters and spoilsmen would do well to mske a note of It." I Soe DaBm nrrjnnum Ncpt. 2d, J881.J Mow the fh fjonimn csn support sny of the Salem clique after laying down the above rule so unequivocally, is more than any sensible man can believe ; and claiming to be a sensible man, I r. . . . - f must say that I do not believe it will do so. It might be of interest to your read er to say that Judge Boise, now cn tho bench of the third judicial district, is said to be poising bofore the oeoule as the Granger csndidato among Ile- pubiicsnsfor tbj United SUtee Senate. So it will be seen that a great lack of harmony will manifest itself among B'-publicans at the next election, and if Democrats exerciso good judgment m putting up good State, district snd county tickets, they will cssily win.
