It contains all that caa be supplied to make the natural hair beautiful aad a on a. dant ; keep the scalp free from dandruff, pre vents the hair from becoming dry and harsh, and makes it flexible and glossy. When the blood is loaded with impurities, and moves sluggishly in the veins, sa alter ative is needed, ss this condition of the vital fluid cannot last long without seriooa results There ia nothing better than Ayer's Sarsa- panlla to purify the blood, aad impart ener gy to the system. On Thursday morning of last week sn old pioneer from near Lebanon enjoyed his first ride en a railroad train.

The first ef the week Mr. J. A. Miller est an egg in our office which deserves parties -lar notice. It measures ft x5J inches, be ing just 3J inches long. This is not often beaten, but when beaten, no doubt will make excellent frosting for aa editor. Different classes of people hare at differ ent times received reputations for being liars ; but go the world over aad California will take the lead. Systematically and ma liciously her citizens lie about Oregoa, her people, her climate, ker soil, kor advantages, and her everything, in order to keep immi grants from comma; here. This practice is infamous and should he stepped. Yonr common sense should teach yea that if any doctor er dr u exist kaew of a better remedy for colds, coughs and lung sem plaints, than Amman's Cough S yrnp, he weald eith er put it ap for general sale or sell ths pre scription to Mr. Amman who offers to the world one thousand dollars for the prescrip tion for a better remedy than Amman's Cough Syrup All respectable druggists and deal- ore sell Ass men's Cough Syrup. Ask for it, and take no other. A correspondent writing to a Salem paper from Albany asks these questions : "Why the sun aad moon always look larger at the zenith than at the heriacn, also, why they look rod st the horizon." In ths first place they look the larger at horizon, being soon in oemparioa with terrestrial bodies, and they look rod beeauae they are seen through the damp or smoky atmosphere ef the earth when at the horizon.

Ths first Society of Spir.tuah.ts ef Salem Oga. will held a Convention at their Rail over ike First National Bank fk Salem, last iag three days, and commencing March 38lh and ending March SI iaolusivs. Satisfactory arrangements have beta made with the hotels to reduce their rates on beard aad loging.

HON JOBS BJCBXXTT wm introduced, snd spoke fer s fsw moments ea the mortgsge tax law. Ms ssid i The people in these rural counties pay meet of tbe taxes. There it no property thai pays so poorly as the farm. The speaker gave the hiatory of the mortgage tax law, hew it had been sustained ia the Supreme Court, and reversed in J edge Deady's court, but this djasjlBBB is subject to dtsoussion. Psrsonal property shonid be taxed tho same as land, notwithstanding many claim otherwise. The part of Judge Deady's decision relating to the Linn ooanty farm has nothing to do with the decision. The value of land it what il will bring for cask, sad it is am s si id at about that valae in this valley. Tbe argu ment that the law it unequal aad con-uniform seems to hsvs been aa execs. Thst law wss pssssd to prevent tho Portland cap italists from living without paying aay taxes at all, which they have nearly done. That lew it aot eeunifonn er unequal, and tho speaker gave kit lessons for it. Prior to 1882 til mortgages were peraonal propsr. ty, hot the law of thai year satd mortgagtt should be deemed real estate for the pur aaa of taxation. There is no new clement in it, it it simply to reach all kinda of pro petty, sad all ahoald bs taxed slike. I a hie humble judgement the decision of tbo Supreme Court was right, and that of the District Court wat wrong, any property that it in the state should be taxed. This deti tioa will probably control this matter, and this leaves the counties ia a bad condition for they hardly know which to follow, the Supreme Court or tbe District Court. The proper thing to do as Jadge Deady'a deciaion, right or wrong, will control the matter, is amend the present law se that it will stand STAIGER.
