AYER'S Hair Vigor restore, with the gloa and frehuoe of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, aa may be desired. By it use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and bahliiewi often, though not always, cured. It check falling of the hair, and stimu lates a weak ami sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladles Hair Dressing, the VlOOR is unequalled ; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lusting eiTunia. Mil. f. P. !l :i MUM write from Kirby, O.. .':, Kt ; Mec i.i.i my hair commenced falling out, aud iu n short time I became nearly Imld. I used part of a liottle of A v Kit' Haik Vioou, which stoped the fall ing of the hair, aud started a new srowth. I have now a fall head of hair growing vigor ously, and am convinced that but for the ase of your preparation 1 should have been entirely bald." .1. W. Rowe.v, proprietor of the Mc Arthur (Ohio) Kmuirt r, khjh AVKK'S Mailt Viooft is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of It from my own experience. Its use promote the growth of new hair, aud makes it glowty and soft. The Vigor Is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." Mr. Axor Fairbairtt, loader of the celebrated " Kairhairu Family" of Scottiidi Vocalists, write from Jin$tnn, Matt., Feb. 6, 1AS0: "Kver since my hair began to give sil very evidence of the change which tlcetliig time procure Hi, I have used AVKR'H li AIR Vioor, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthf ulness a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora tors, actors, ami iu fact every one who lives in the eyes of tho public." Mr. O. A. PREsipoTT, wriiing front 1R Elm St.. Vhartettown, Maim., Airil 14, 1HH2, says: " Two year ajjo itlx ut two-thirds of my huir came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. On using Ayicr'h llAin Vioor the falling stopped and a new growth oommeuced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It has continued to grow, ami is now as good as before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle of the Vioor, but now use it occasionally as a dressing." We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of Avf.r's Hair Vioor. It needs but a trial to convince tho most skepti cal of its value. rUEPAKED BY Dr. J . C. Ayer &. Co., Lowell, Mass.

Or evening! now, until after ton o'clock, bright light tuny be seen on the dome or the Capitol. This meant that the House or Representltlvee Is la session, talking Tariff. As It was a conceded Impossibility to give all the carefully prepared Tariff speeches utterance In a limited length or time (s move having been made to restrict the general debate to about two weeks) recourse was taken to night eeealone. List evening, lie present live Yaplt,of Michigan made a strong argument In favor or the Morrison bill, and Representative Wood, of In diana discussed the question from the tame standpoint, (jongresman Rob ertson from Kentucky opposed the protection on three grounds -that it was bad poblic policy ; that It enrich ed the few st the expense or many ; end that It was unconstitutional. Mr. Bagley ot New York, read tho begin ning or bis speech.and then the pror ation saying that the Intelligent as ssmbly which surrounded him (there were then about a deaen Members present) did not seem to approve or his remarks, and as'ied leave to print them for the peruaai or an admiring constituency. When the tariff debate was resum ed this week, after an interval or five days.tbe Tezsn orator Mr. Welleuru made the eighth speech Qt the aeries. ami preached the goapel(of free trade with an eloquence that was frequent ly applauded and warmly congratu lated at the close. He said It would be difficult to find In the whole range or the English language more hypo critical words then "incidental pro tection." He protested against this fraud in the use or language, and said ir protection were good and right, let It stand on Its own merit?, and not lean on something so respectable as revenue. He held that Inciden tal protection as a designator ot the present Tariff, was a practical illus tration or Satin masquerading io the habiliments or the Court or Heaven. The Democratic party was putting Its col urns In motion, and the result of the contest could not be doubtful oo such an issue. Another notable speech waa made by Representative Eld red ge, of Mich- Jgan, In wblch he eald the protective system wss only kept In existence by lobbying, extrafagance, and official corruption, which it tends to produce and extend, and that unless the sys tem or protection were doomed to slav ery. Let the issuef be squarely made Me said "protective Tariff" on tbe one side and a "Tariff fir revenue only" ou the other, aud then, with all tbe money that the monopolists will nay Into tbe election rood, and the Legion of Federal office holders on tbe one side, snd the tax rlddeo people on the other. we will see whether money and patronage can Induce the people to continue a party lo power whose central idea is In direct opposition to their best interests. The House passed tbe bill creating a bureau or labor statistics, concerning which a number or Members had something tossy, the substance or wblch waa tnat they were io hearty sympathy with all measures look log to roller or the laboring classes. Rep resentative Hopkins, or Penn., said a great deal or attention In and out of Congress has beeujgi ven to the Amer ican hog, and steer, and be thought it high time tojglve some attention to the American man. The head or this bureau Is to have $3,500, a year. Tbe House also passed aVroraprehen sive Pension bill which, provides for tbe several classesjof disabled veterans enumerated in the Pension laws or the United States. It next refused to reapeal the act limiting the tenure or certain offices to four years, and dur ing the brier period or discussion on this subject, the chamber was tbe scene of almost bedlanaatic confusion. Mr Springer shouted from the plat form or the Clerks desk, that, in view or the probable change in the executive officers of the Government at the comingeiection,he hoped the Democratic House or Representatives would not ' pass this bill and thus permanently on the people a! lot or political dead-beats who have been imposed upon them In judicisl posi tions. After passing the bankruptcy bil early in the week tbe senate pro ceeded tejburlesque its dignity by In dulging in ananimated and not very brief debate on the, grave question where, in the list or officials entitled to the floor of that chamber,the Com missloner of Agriculture should be placed. Senator Saulsbury ridiculed tbe debate by the remark that it waa just suctya;question, as to who shall be first lady f the land.
