It will not soil tlie pillow, case nor a isocket-haniikerchief, and is al ways agreeable. All the dirty, gummy hair preparations should be displaced at once by Ayer's Hair Vigor, and thousands who (n around with beads looking like 'the fretful porcupine' should hurry to the nearest drug store aud purchase a laittle of the Vigor."

WHAT ONE 0FTI1EIK NTMBER HAS TO SAY ABOI T "THIRD" PAimta AXU THE DEM OCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PARTIES. Fwra the Harrisburg Telegraph. Born and brought up a farmer, having lived most of a lifetime, now not short, among farmers, being in full sympathy with them, the writer desires to give to the farmers of Pennsylvania, his native State, the benefit of his studies in the political history of this country, his ob servation and thought generally, on that subject. He believes the outcome will show that the "third party" movement of the farm ers is unwise. Indeed, the indications are somewhat so already. If the lu'e elections indicate anything they show that the third party movement will eith er distract and disorder National legisla tive policies, so essential to confidence in business, and hence useful and safe to tbe farmer. For although the farmer stands at the source of all permanent wealth and prosperity, that prosperity is always seriously affected by the instabil ity and uncertaihity of all other enter prise. JIanifestly, the farmers' best interests and the country's general prosperity, are inseparably joined together. The party and the policy, then, which insures the lirgest measure o'f general prosperity are the party and the policy to which the farmer should give his unwavering sup port. If the policy of that party should at any time seem to be going away, let the farmers combine within the party ti sjcare, by petition, anil the use of per. sonal power in the primaries, the county conventions, and further along the re forms needed. Tbe manifestation of will power within a party bad'better promise of good results than tbe small antago nisms pressed upon that party from with out. Besides, the history of these thin party movements all back for fifty years have only shown a merely spas modic success for their aims, which, in nearly every case, the results have been damaging to those i-and helpful to the opposition. Now, we have in this country twograat parties the Republican and the so-call-Itemocratic. The latter claims age and venerableness, which is indeed nearly all it can claim as a recommendation, if that be a recommendation. Let us look at the history of these parties as indicative of their real character, and therefore of any claim they may have, or not have, upon our support. I would ask any man to name and define any series of acts of the Democratic party that has been pro motive of the highest welfare of our country. We may begin with Jackson's administration sixty years ago. During that period the country had nullification. Who led off in it? Some of the promi nent leaders in the Democratic party. What started nullification? Opposition to Jhe tariff measures of the opposite par ty, which measures under the leadership of Henry Clay sought to establish a true American system of industries. The same battle has been on tbe country of late, led by Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Mills and their followers, seeking free trade ami working in the interest, and it is believ ed, under the pay of foreign capital. Then after Clay and his Whig asso ciates bad overcome Calhoun and bis Democratic following, began the distri bution among the States of the surplus in the United States Treasury, followed by tbe practical overthrow of the United States Bank, and by that means the utter ruin of the business of the country, when there was no legal tender among the farmers but silver coin (gold, what little there was, being locked up in the vaults.) Do not some of you remember the time when in Pennsylvania you sold wheat at fifty cents a bushel, a good cow and calf for twelve and fifteen dollars, a fine young horse or mare for forty ; and when for your wedding coat you, piid five to seven dollars a yard for British broad cloth and that, too, under a low tariff; when calicoes were twenty-five cents a yard, and the commonest spelling book for your child twenty-five cents? I need not go on to specify. Then your labor ing man got fifJy cents per day, and a little more in harvest. These were grand times indeed for the poor man, but they were under the prevalence of Democratic policy or rule t Have you forgotten the disasters and bankruptcies of -1S4I and 1812, following close on tbe vetoing by John Tyler of that policy of high tariff for which tbe people fought in the Har rison campaign of 1840, and which a Whig Congress had passed, but which a traitor, acting President, obeying tbe be hest of the other party, had defeated by his veto? Those were hard times for the farmer for everybody. How mush bet ter under the next, a Democratic admin istration? What measures did they bring forward and pass for the relief of the country ? If there were any such, it is in order for some one to rise np and show it Passing by the brief administrations of Taylor and Fillmote, signalized by the treaty with Mexico, the acquisition of California, the Gadsden purchase so valuable now to our country and the grand compromise measures of 18.'0, Clay and 'Webster's last great achievement in which movement every leader of the Democratic party antagonized the scheme which gave ns California, the newly ac quired territory adjoining, as forever free. And again we find the country quiet, confidence restored and business of all kinds looking np. Then we come to eight years of Dem ocratic rule, the darkest of all.' First, the repeal of the Missouri compromise, solemnly made by and among the States more than a generation before ; the con sequent nullification of all the sacred pledges and local enactments of the times of Taylor and Fillmore. Who brought this about or who opposed it ? Have yon forgotten who the leaders wer and the following in this breach offaith? If so, we name them, Senator Stephen A. Douglas, bis associates or bis party the Democrats. Then follow the Kansas war and the effort by Mr. Pierce and Mr. Bu chanan to force the Lecompton inquity,a pro-slavery constitution, upon a people the majority of whom as bona file resi dents were anti-slavery. These sad treasons culminated in seces sion and the civil war a piece of history you have not forgotten. Which was it that carried on the rebel lion? Which party is it that to-day de fends that rebellion ? Which one is then in the last analysis, responsible for the fearful loss of life, the destruction of val ues, the wealth of the nation, the incur ring of the immense national debt, and the consequent necessity for taxes to pay off that uebt and keep the wheels of gov ernment going? The plain answer rises in your mind as you read. Since the restoration of the seceded States and the frequent supremacy of the Democrats in Congress, and for four years in the Presidency, w hat has that party done to advance the country and benefit the farmer? If anything, or anything worthy to be named, let some one arise and state it. On the other band, what has the Re publican party done for the country? It crushed the rebellion and established that this is a nation. It wiped out slav ery, the blot on our civilisation, the par alysis of the Souther section. It gave ns our currency, the like of w hich for good ness we never had before. By charters it opened up a way to our rich farm lands and inexhaustible mines of silver and gold. It gave us the free homestead law. It has protected American grain, rattle, horses, pork, lumber, hay, everything the farmer has to sell, and has done very much to open to him the markets of the world. Now, which of the parties is the friend of the country and of the farmer? I leave yon, my gentle, patient reader to decide ; and, having decided, stick to your friend. Let your power be felt in the party counsels, and I will warrant you your friend will stick to you. I will close by simply sayi"g yon are reading after a stranger, but one who wishes well to all ; not, however, a politi cian, nor one w ho has "a job" in this writing. I have never sought a political office, never held one, and likely never will ; am only an humble patriot de scended from patriotic aires, I will love my country to the end. Buck Kilgore's Story. "When I was returning home upon a furlough during the latter part of the war," said Congressman Buck Kilgore, cfTexas, "I pulled up at a little cabin on the roadside in Louisiana about night. The sole occupant of the cabin was one woman, She refused to let me remain during the night or to give me anything to eat. I had one gold dollar in my pocket which I offered to pay her for a chicken which had just been cooked and was smoking on the table. She refused to sell tiie chicken at any price, but was willing to wager the chicken against the dollar that she could beat me jumping, I to make the first jump, starting from the log door-step. "I took a survey of a very short wom an who had bantered me for a trial of my activity, and then surveyed myself. I was a long-legged cuss, and I put the dollar on the table by the chicken. I then took a position on the doorstep, swung my hands to and fro. pluming for my flight through the air. Then I lit out for the tallest jump on record. By the time I hit the ground and turned to see the woman follow she had shut the door and fastened it on the inside. The only thing I could see was tbe muzzle of a double-barreled shot-gun, supplemented by a firm female voice admonishing me to move out,- and to move quickly. I moved. There was something about that voice and that gun which inspired me with the idea that it would be unhealthy for me to linger there longer. Wadting Um Pott. Curing a Balky Horse. Old John Ferris made a snug thing for himself by buying at a low figure from their disgusted owners all the balky hor ses that be heard of that were otherwise sound, and, when cured, selling them at a handsome advance. This was his plan: He would harness the horse, being care ful that he was well fed, the harness strong and comfortaMe, the wagon Well greased ; in short, that the "horse should have no reasonable ground for coin plaint. Then he laid in supplies for a siege a lunch, his newspaper and spectacles, his pipe, with a filling of tobacco, and a match, and most important a stout crow bar with a ring in the top, ana an axe. When the horse decided he had gone fat enough, he tried very gentle measures to persuade it otherwise (hefnever struck him), but when these all failed, he de liberately drove his crowbar in the ground and hitched the horse to it and then took his ease in a nap or a newspa per. When hunger and thirst began to assail the horse, and v Lions of fat oats and cool flowing water troughs crossed bis mental vision, he usually showed a rustless desire to move on, but not so bis owner. He had got used to the sport and desired to stay longer, but when he thought tbe proper time had arrived he pulled up stakes and started off, but at the first sign of retractivenessin went the crowbar again. Before, the horse had time to forget this lesson he drove him forth again, with tbe same preparations. He used to say that he often had to use the crowbar on the second drive, but never on the third one. If the horse showed signs of balking he would strike two stones together, and it would start off as if glad of a chance to go. ' Had a Purpose. "You know I met yon in the postoffice the other dav V lie queried. "Yes." "And you introduced me to a friend of yours ?" "Yes." "Well, I hadn't known him ten min utes when he wanted to borrow $20 of me." "OI course. Tint's why I introduced him. Dvtru'U Fret I'reiol" Lincoln Epigrams.

(Spoken in 1S37). My heart bled at seeing that family separated and sold. My rod .' if I ever get a chance to hit that institution I'll hit it hard, John. John Hanks, his companion to New Orleans. I set out in this campaign (1$.S) with the intention of conducting it strictly as a gentleman, in substance, at least, if not in outside polish. The latter I shall never be, but that which constitutes tbe inside of a gentleman I hope I under stand, and I am not less inclined to prac tice than another. Shall we fear an attack from across the Atlantic? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasures of earth in their mili tary chest, with a Bonaparte for a com mander, could not by foice take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a thousand years. (From a speech delivered in 1S37). Let reverence for the law be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe upon her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in college. Let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit in short, let it become the political religion of the nation. Let every one play the Dart he can play best in this campaign (1S48). Some can speak, some sing, and all can halloo. The law never sanctions cheating, and a lawyer must be very smart, indeed, who can twist it so that it will seem to do so. The "sacred right of self-government" has been so perverted in the "squatter sovereignty" plea as to amount to just this: That if any one man chooses to enslave another, no third man shall be allowed to object. Let ns have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do onr duty as we understand it. The mystic chords of memory, stretch ing from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearth stone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. Mary, we have had a hard time of it since we came to Washington ; but the war is over, with (rod's blessing, and we may hope for four years of peace and happiness ; we will then go back to Springfield and pass the rest of our lives in quiet. (This was said but five hours before the assassination). Valentine Memories. "My kid struck me fora quarter before I left home this morning," said a Board of Trade man as he was lunching with a friend yesterday. He said he wanted it to buy valentines with. Do you know I'd almost forgotten all about valentines, and when I was a yonngster I counted the days from New Year's until Feb. 14. Wonder if the kids do the same way as we used to? I remember we used to call 'em 'comics' and 'prettys.' The boys used to spend most all their money for 'comics,' but they'd always hold out enough to buy at least one 'pretty' for their best girl. This operation was always a study, and the verse was selected with more than ordinary care. That 'rose-is-red-and-violet-blue' gag used to be the favor ite. My chum and I used to buy a gross of 'comics.' In each gross there were seventy-two duplicates, and we would sort 'em out and divide 'em. " As soon as it was dark in the evening we'd go oat with a sachet fuli of carefully assorted 'comics' and in some awful dis guise ; had tin horns and 'tic-Lacs' for the amusement of the neighbors. There was always some man in the block that we bated, and we'd cbalk a square on his doorstep, ring the bell and then give him the ha-ha from across the street when he came out, tried to pick it op and then swore. I den't believe the kids now adays have as ranch fun as we did. We'd make friends wjth some unpopular boy by sending him with a valentine to the chalked man's door, and then lose his friendship again when the man, who had been laying for ns, kicked him across the street. Say, I'll match, you for the lunches." Cli icago Herald. Wants Only His Own. A Detroit lawyer received a letter from Texas the other day, on which the post age stamp was of an issue current 15 years ago, and on the envelope of which there was a request to "return if not de livered some time pretty soon."

Senator Vance, of North Carolina, un questionably the champion story-teller of the Senate, has a broad stripe of Calvin ism down his back, though he is not a communicant in the church. It is told of him that while riding along in Bun combe c maty one day he overtook a ven erable darkey, with whom he thought to have "a little fun."- "Uncle," said the Governor, "are you going to church ?" "No, sir, not exzactly I'm gwine back from church." "You're a Baptist, I reckon now, ain't yon ?" "No, sir, I ain't no Baptist, do' most of the bredereu and sinters about here has been nmler de water." "Methodist, then?" "No, sah, I ain't no Meftalis, nudder." "Campbelite?" "No, sah, I can't errogate to myself de Camelite way of tbinkin'." "Well, what in the name of goutiness are you then?" rejoined the Governor, remembering the narrow range of choice in religions among the North Carolina negroes. "Well.de fie' is, sah, my old master was a Herruld of the Criss in de Presby terian Church aud I was fotehed np in dot faith." "What: You don't mean it? Why.that is my church." The negro making no comment on this announcement, Governor Vance went at him again : "And do you believe in r.ll the Presby terian creed ?" "Yes, sah, dat I does." "Do you believe in the doctrine of pre destination ?" "I dunno dat I recogsire de name, sail." "Why, do you believe that if a man is elected to be saved he will be saved, and that if he Ls elected to he damned he will be damned?" "Oh, yes. loss, I believe dat. It's Gos pel talk, dat is." '".Veil, now, take my case. Do yon be lieve that I am elected to be saved?" The old man struggled for a moment with his desire to lie respectful and polite and then shook his head dubiously. "Come, now, answer my question," pressed the Governor. "What do you say?"' "Well, I tell you what 'tis, Marse Zeb. Ise been libin' in dis hyab world nigh on sixty years, and I nebber yit hyard of any man be in' 'lected 'doubt he was candidate." He Had to be There. A policeman at the Polk street station j yesterday morning walked up to a young man whom he had observed hurrying to and fro in a feverish way for an hour or more, and said : "My friend, what is the trouble? Is there anything I can do for you?" "Do fir me! Je-roos'luta .' No! Not unless you can bring back that 8:25 train. I'll bet a thousard dollars it left ahead of time." "Can't you go on another train?" ' Certainly. That's what I'm waiting for. But it doesn't leave till .:.'i0 this afternoon, and I won"t get to where I'm going till about midnight, and that won't do at ail." "If its anytliing important can't you send a telegram?"' "Send a telegram ? I"v sent half a dozen already. The fact is, I'm on my way to a wedding, to take place at seven o'clock this evening. I've got some present for the bride." "Well," said the policeman, "the case isn't so bad. You cm deliver the pres ents the next morning. The wedding will be over, of course " "Wedding over ! Jumi .in' Jupiter! It won't be over. That's the trouble." "Why not?" "Because it can't come off unless I'm on hand. I've got to b tbere. I'm the man that's going to be xarried. Police man, yon mean well, but you can't pour any of the oil of joy iuxo this wounded bosom. I'll feel obli.d if you'll go away somewhere and sit down." CI icayo TriliiiK. A Reasonable Request. "I don't see as this better we get from the crematory is much ltter than cow'a butter," said Mrs. Van'j over, one uiurs ing at the breakfast table. "What !" ejaculated Mr. Vancover, ex citedly. "I say I don't think the crematory but ter is a bit better than any other." "My dear," said Mr. Vancover, trying to calm himself down, "do you know what a crematory is ?"' "No, not unit sb it's where they make oleomargarine." "Well, my love, I will inform you. A crematory is a place where dead bodies "0, gracious !" "A place where dead bodies arc burn ed to ashes, and the ashes carried home in a jar and stired away among the family archives. But don't, for Hi ven's sake, ever get ou thi subject again in the presence of any ot our friends. Don't do it, for my sakf , will you, love?"

Health is tbe perfect adjustment of the hnman body to its surrounding condi tions. Disease is the failure of the human body to perfectly adjust itself to its sur roundings (environment!. In hot coun tries the body must adjust itself to .'rest and continued heat or die. In cold countries the body must adjust itself to a low temperature or perish. In 'so called,) temperate countries, where the depressing heat of the tropics prevails part of tbe season, and the piercing cold of the arctics the other part, the hnman system must somehow adjust itself to these fluctuations or disea.it; and death is the result. The change from cel l to heat which occurs in the spring ten ia to produce diseases of the blood add nervous system, while the change from warm to cold wfiich takes place in late fall or early winter tends to the production of catarrhal diseases. Catarrh is the source of a frightful list of diseases. It is silent and insidious in itj ravages, but it pervades nearly every household and hovers like a pestilence over every hamlet and city in our land. Catarrh and its legitimate consequencts has desolated more hearthstones, made wretched more happy lives, and euded more brilliant careers than all other dis eases combined. Catarrh may end in deafness, blindness, loss of smell, loss of taste, or the entire loss of voice. Diph theria, bronchitis, pneumonia, consump tion and pleurisy begin almost al ays as the result of a catarrhal attack. Ti e worst forms of dyspepsia and Britcht's disease of the kidneys are also the direct consequence of neglected cases of acute catarrh. Even when the victims of acute catarrh escape all of the above mentioned liabilities, there remains the great prob ability of its ending in chronic catairh. It is beyond the descriptive powers ef language to portray the peculiar tniwry of a subject of chronic catarrh. While these patients do not suffer the acute pain of rheumatism or neuralgia, or the indescribable anguish of diseases of the nervous system, yet it would be very difficult to over-paint the picture of woe which usually befalls the sufferer from chronic catarrh. THE FIRST STAtiE OP CATARRH (or acute catarrh) Is commonly known as "a cold." "Catching cold" is the or dinary phrase for an attack of acute cutarrb. It may begin with a slight cough, or hawking aud spitting mu-ons from the throat, or running at the nose, or watery eyes; but these symptoms, in a large per cent, of cases, continue to grow worse until grave or fatal disease sets in. Of course some cases recover without treatment, but it is exfremely dangerous and foolish to rnn such risks. If no attention is paid to the acute stt ge it either sets np diphtheria, pneumonia, consumption, or some other disease, or de velops chronic catarrh, or at least leaves the mucous surfaces of the head and throat especially liable to another attack at the slightest exposure. As soon as chronic catarrh has become established, ths victim is never free from a list of disgusting and troublesome symp toms which are sufficient to make life almost unendurable. If the chronic ca tarrh Is of the humid variety an inces sant spitting, hawking ami blowing of the nose is kept np, to the great annoy ance of the patient and others. The thickened membranes of the nose and throat produces snoring, watery eyes and deafness. If the chronic catarrh takes the fi rm of the dry (astropbic Wariety the thinned mucous membranes allow free breathing, but there is a continual raw feeling in all of the air passages, sometimes extending into the bronchial tubes and lungs. There is also a very offensive breath, dry scabs in the nose, more or less loss of smell and taste, and other symptoms too numerous to mention. It would roe, indeed, folly for me to de scribe in detail this exasperatiag disease unless I had in view some relief or cure for those people who are so unfortunate as to be aillicted. It is no longer a question in my mind as to whether IV-ru-na can be relied on to cure all such cases. During the many years in which Pe-ru-na has been put to tesit in all forms and stages of acute and chronic catarrh, no one year has put this remedy to great er test than the past one, especially the winter of lS'.H). La Grippe spread from ocean to ocean like a devastating fire, leaving in its trail catarrhal affections of every conceivable variety in such num bers as was never before known in this country. Fe-ru-na being well known a the best catarrh remedy yet discovered, the demand for it was so great that the manufacturers could scarcely till the or ders for it that cf.me pouring in from all parts of the United States. Pem-na was so invariably auecesrTuI in the cure of the thousands of cases in which it was used that a great number of old cases of catarrh who had given up all hope of cure began to use it, with such astonishing results that it leaves no room for doubt that every catarrh, how ever long standing and difficult of curp, can be permanently cured by the use of Pe-rn-na TREATMENT. In acute cases, which come as a severe cold, a wineglassful taken in hot water, followed by a teaspoonful every hour or a tablespeonful every two hours, as is most convenient to the patient, should be taken. In ordinary colds or rutari ial attacks it will be sufficient to take this remedy as directed on the bottle. In old cases of catarrh, whether of the humid or dry variety, it is only necevnary to take Pe-ru-na exactly as directed on the bottle. Any persons using Pe-ru-na who do not realize the benefit they ought from its use should write to me, giving a description of the circumstances, and I am usoally able to discover the reason of the failure and help thm to a speedy cure. But it is only necessary in the great majority of cases to follow tbe direction on the bottle and a cure is certain. For a complete treatise as to the use of Pe-ru-na in the various stages, varieties and complications of catarrh, send at once for a copy of the Family Physician No. 2, sent free to any address by the Peruna Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio.
