BARNES & SON Ayer's Hair Vigor, For restoring to Gray Hair its natural Vitality and Color. A dressing which is at• once agreeable, healthy, .and effectual for preserving the hair. It soon restores faded or gray hair to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair• checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by. its use. Nothing, can restore the hair where the follicles are de stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu lated in activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair front turning gray or fulling off, and consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the'•forma tion of dandruff, which is often. so un cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which malce some preparations dangerous and iMn rions co the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can he found so desiralile. Containing neither oil nor dye, it doc bu s not soil white cambric, awl ver long on the hair, giving it a ri:•:t. • y lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

This pait begins by qtioting the rules laid down in iho Treaty for the guidance of thii Arbitrators, and It then I=l In fact, the tribunal Is therefore to deter mine this question : Has the British Govern meet as a neutral, failed to perform an inter national duty such as it may tie, due to the 'United States, in connection with certain ships f If the reply Is In the affirmative the tribunal will then formulate a judgment on the extent of the responsibility, if reaponsibi lily thereto, incurred by failure to perform a duty ; and it will adjudge a lump sum to sat isfy al just claims, or define in all that regards each particular'vessel, the limits of responsi bility for the guidance of the assessors. The claims which may be presented to the tribunal and which it will have only to concern• itself with; are claims growing out of acts. if such there were, committed by these vessels in re-• gard to which It will have been proved that a duty has not been fulfilled. This summary of facts is devoted to the oft told story of the fitting out of the Rebel crntsers, and their history generally, narrated from tho British point of view. It concludes by asserting that the British Government tot. filled in all respects its international duties. The "Conclusion," which forms the most im portant part of the case, and briefly embodies all that is argued in it, Is as follows, being translated from the French, in which language it was presented to the Geneva Tribunal: The Government of Her Britannic Majesty, In order to inform the Arbitrators, tins given a statement of the principal facts which it be lieves essential in the interest life just acclei,,n upon the claims made by the United States. In this statement Her Majesty's GoviTnnten has had to contend against an unavoidable disadvantage—it has had to reply to nn ment not yet submitted. When that shall have been presented, and the claims of the United States shall be defined precisely, Her Majesty's Government will exeret , e the .right conferred 0;1 it by Article IV of the Treaty, to submit to the tribunal an' ad iitional or more extended statement of facts as tile ease may exact. Until theetunirtrisun of the cases, presented by both parties', shall defermitie tip• points really in dispute between the two G•iv :erumehts, it will refrain from all discussion Intended tn.:sustain Its own - position, and will 'limit Its If, at present, to • submitting to the judgment of the tribunal Ike follow leg con siderations : As the ships, whatever may be the'clreum stances; were 'procured in British ports for war purposes; and were'employed as belligerent cruisers against the United Stales (while Grea. Britian berselftertittilfed neutral), these events have been a cause of displeasure and, regret to the Government'' of her Britannic Majesty. This regret exists despite the lollowing facts, which,- it mustbe conceded are important, to arrive at a just appreciation of the question. The vessels were. procured by cunning and clandestine ma ans, which baffled the vigilance, of the Government officers; not one had the that armament; some bail been constructed es ordinary merchant vessels, having nothlne which would adapt them specially for war; in number they were very small, and finally, the poisons who obtained possession and control of t lem, and employed them for belligerent pur poses were themselves American citizens. which the United Mates Government has al ways admitted. Such facts should seriously effect, in the mind of every impartial man, the qu. stlon relative to the responsibility ot neutral Government. It is no lees true that the acts themitelves (being clench a charac er, that if they were committed by a neutral Gov ernment, or under its notice, they would com promise its neutrality) must tend inevitably to pion trouble in the relations with the belll. gerent against whom they were directed. Ac s wdingly v .Her Majesty's Government has not hesitated to testily frankly and openly, its re gret to the UniWd States, and It has agreed to give expression to that regret In the Treaty ded between the two Powers. But thelinited litotes Government professes o have right to a pecuniary Indemnity for the claims which It says resulted front the acts of these vessels, that'is to say, the warlike oper ations carried on by means of these ships by the persons who had them in their possession. It is evident that a pretension of this nature is such that Her Majesty's Government, an mated as It is with the most amicable sent menta toward the United States, could no' In virtue 01 the respect it owes to its own rights and those of neutral nations in general consent to admit, since it believes that i not founded on Justice. What it (the Government) professes to claim is a mailer at absolute tight ; and such claim can only be made valid by establishing clearly that rin in ternational obligation, du to the United States by Great Britain, bad hien violated by her ;und further, it should be demonstrated that appreciable injury resulted directly to the United States, by reason of which Great Bri. tan owes them pecuniary componsatbu. It devolves consequently upon the United States to establish the propositions it has advanced ; to state clearly the international duty or fill ties upon which they are based, and to dem onstrate the violation of e Web It complains. A charge against a sovereign Government of having evinced culpablenegilgeuce in the ex erciso of one of the powers of sovereignty is an imputation which-shoul - be sustained by 'strong and solid reasons. Every sovereign Government,asserts the tight of. being inde pendent of all supervisions, of all foreign In termeddling in the exercise os these powers; and it must be assumed that they aro exercis ed with good faith and with reasonable dili gence, and that the administration of; laws is just mid uniform, so lung as the assumption is pot set Heide by ptoof to the contrary—an assumption without which it would be import. ethic to have peace and friendly relations among nations. -It la not sufficient to indi cate or to dentonstrate that a Government, in exercising a reasonable discretion nn, a ques tion: of fact or of law; - and in making Use 01 the means at his control for. acquiring 1 nfor. mation, forms, for the regufittion of its con ,duct, an opinion which another Government may repudiate. Still less Is It sufficient to demonstrate that a judgment rendered by a competent judicial court, and by which .the Executive was guided, is tainted with error. An administrative act based on an error or the erroneous decision of a tribunal, may, it is true, give cause under certain circumstances for a demand for compensation on the part of the person or Government wronged by this act or decision. But the charge of negligence against a Government should not bo estab itched on such bards. It does not suffice to point out or to Dhow that; in the execution of his administrative ditties, w Giiverntnent ofti• cer acted so as to leave something, however, small, to be desired as regards judgment or penetration, or even that he remained within the ,limits of all possible promptitude and celerity To found on this basis exclusively a demand for reparation as it were an infrac tion of international law, would be exacting in international questions an administration perfection to which few, if any, Governments could in fact attain, or could reasonably hope to attain in their internal affairs;, it would be establishing a rule which it would be Impossi ble to apply and Which wouldbe consequent ly anjustand fallacious ; tt wofild finally give rise to incesiant and exaggeratcal claims as the occasion offered, and would render the position of a neutral Intolerable. On the other hand, a nation ought not to be held responsi ble for a delay or omission which may he due simply to accident and not to a want of fore sight pr reasonable care. Finally; it does not suffice to demonstrate that an act has been committed which the Government should have foreseen. What must be advanced and proved Is that the Government failed to exer cise the same amount of care as it usually em ploys In internal affairs, and which it may be reasonably required to use In matters affecting international interests and duties. These considerations acquire special force when ap. pllod to nations enjoying the benefits or free Institutions wherein the government cannot dispense with the laws w'alch It is bound to film ' If the tribunal decides that Great Britain his incurred any responsibility whatever to ward the United States the qut•stiou will then arise ns t • sow the Fist !wager° and extent' of that respoin,lbility. Her Majesty's Government. abstains at present from entering on this question; and resvves fora more ad viineed period of the discussiiin all tits (Amer vations that. it shall determine to submit upon t hi s p i n t i n the na i ne of 'Orrst Britain. It is sidlleent bete to remark that, when a bel ligerent prof sirs to Indemnify itself at the ex pense of a neutral for losses inflicted or flees. shined by one of the ordinary operations of war, under the pretext that these operations may have been second, d or facilitated by the negligent • of the neutral Government, such claim is calculated to give rise to grave considerations, and requires to be weighed with extreme ewe. The losses arising im triediately.and tiredly from such negligence (for it is only on account of such losses that an indemnity could be fairly adjudged) are not commonly easy to single out from those afected by other sources. The success of military operations is dew in general, not only to the Uorce at the disp sal of the c inqueroi, but to the courage and talents which lie dis plays. If claims a this kind were admitted without reserve, a billlgerent could ask to be indemnified by a neutral for results which Justly ought not to be laid to the net of the latter, but Blifitild be plareil to his own Inca. pacify and deficient ILitlative. Her Itlajesty's Government is obliged to point out that, in regard to the ships which forni the object of the preceding statement, the United tit tee Government er Its officers evinced extranr dinar:: tardiness in employing the naval ford's at Its command, anti that, if ordinary activity were exercised to capture or,intetcept these vessels, the losses of which the United States complain to-day would have been In great part averted. One cannot reconcile with a reason. able conception of international obligations the claims of a belligerent ruler who, profess ing to be wronged by the negligence which he imputes to a neutral Government, would demand to be indemnified by that neutral for losses endured in the course of military opera. Bons when he, on his own part, has exercised neither activity nor diligence to prevent or stop them. During the entire war the con• stant •'Torts of tier Britannic Majesty's Gov rnment tended only to one object ; to ob serve with fidelity and exactitude its neutral obligations, and to maintain in their integrity the rights which the law and the usage of na tions give to neutral Powers. All people are interested in maintaining t wee rights, anti, as a maritime power of the first order, drawn by circumstances into closer contact with the war than all other States, Great Britain had the double duty of resisting all usurpation of her rights, and of interdicting all attempts to xtend them beyond the just, and cone, Meet limits traced by international law. Her Ma jeray's Government has given the best proOf of its sincerity in this regard as of its ardent desire to cooperate in promoting the reference ot• international differences to peaceable and arnica le settlement by proposing and agree ing to defer to the judgement tit isipirtial ar hitrations in determining it, in respect to the matter, complained of by the "United States, England has tailed to accomplish an interna tional duty.

Whether the decision or the tribunal is or is not lavor able to her, Ore t Britain Is ready to yield to the decree. She has only one wish—that It he jest. She raises only one pretentiou— that It be founded on a faithful and equitable interpretation of the rights of man, and on principles which herself and all other Powers will not repent of rematniziug and observing. either as neutrals or belligerents in the time to come. HOW IT HAPPENED A Plensnnt Account of nn Explorton The Danbury News gives the following cheerful account of a late disaster In that town : "There was a trifling affair in-Branehville,n Friday. Philos W. Bates has a quarry about a quarter of a mile east of the village. lie is also the owner of a blacksmith's situp near by, where he employs two or three men to char pen the tools used In quarrying the stone fur the tihepang road, at Bethel. In accordance with a good old New England custom, the powder used is kept in the blacksmith shop. fhere,were two kegs partly filled, and one keg unbroken In the shop atthe time our story opens. It was a pleasant day. There was no bright suinshlne, but the general appearance of things out doors was mellow and comforta ble like. •One of the men was employed at tile anvil, hammering the sultry end or a crow b.tr. A few grains of powder hail fallen upon tit- floor while. replenishing the quarry from the open kegs. We Caine near forgetting to slat , • this, which is a more important matter than at first sight seems probable. The other employes were busily en.oged, as the sous of toil are apt to be when employed by the day. A balsamic perfume filled the atmesphe‘ of the situp. Suddenly a flake of streaming lot iron shot from" the anvil and down among the grains of powder which held their slumbering fires to the flow. There were a few unnoticed pops and flushes, then 'canto a hiss, as 'the dames shot over into the open kegs. The oleo who held the crow bar in, chanically passed out doors. Another sou of toil who, with his back to the danger, was looking through a window, turned around in time to detect one end of the shop In the act of mov ing off, billowed by a conirade whose shot bud gone up in a flame. The two partly•flll. ed kegs had exploded with the customary violence, and the lull keg was on tire. At tins juncture was displayed an act of herohng . seldom exhibited in Fultfield county. Mr. Bates seized the burning keg and hurled It out into the snow, In time to quench the dames, save the balance of his shop,. and the lives ei. himself and men. Two of the men were badly burned, a port'on of the shop was wrecked, and two roosters who had been fighting near by at once burled all animosities engendered by the fray, and immediately started over the hill for home, with the rapid and graceful gait peculiar to those feathered Mormons."

" Your Aunt Carlton and Cousin Jennie will he here in the next: train, Russell," said Mr. Kibler to his " nephew. You had better bring the pony chaise and brifig them from " Can't. Am going away myself, sir." "The—the d-1 you are I" responded the old gentlem-n pushing his spectacles up over his forehead and regarding his nephew with an air of surprise and consternation. " Yes sir.- tAarley Hunt invited me nut to his place for a week and I thought that I might as well go now as any time. I should say it was a very strange time to be leaving home. Your aunt and cousin would consider it a personal affront, sir." "It Is not Intended as such sir, though, to he frank, considering the object of Jennie's visit. I prefer not to• see her. And I must say that I think she would have shown more sense of delicacy if she had stayed away." '• Your cousin Is a very lovely girl, Mr. Impudence, and won't be likely to go beg ging." I don't doubt It In the leant. But for all at she won't suit me for a wife, uncle." " How do you know that, you conceited young donkey, when you have never seen her?" inquired the irate old man, bringing his cane down upon the floor with stari liog emphasis. ` Common sense teaches that no marriage can be happy that dove not spring from mutu• al love. And on one thing I am resolved, that I will never marry for mercenary mo tives." " Nobody Wants you to marry the girl un less you like her I" roared Mr. Wilder, his face crowing purple with rage and vexation at his nephew's perversity. " All I ask is that you will stay and see her. And this is the pohd that I•insist upon—yes sir, I insist upon it l" " I am sorry to disobey you, uncle ; but if I should stay it will only give rise to conclu sions that lam noxious to avoid. But I will tell you what I will do; I will relinquish all claim to the property ihat you are so anxious should not be divided. As that seems to he the main object, I think that it ought to be satisfactory to all parties." A few minutes later Russell passed the win dow, valise in hand. He nodded good humoredly to his uncle as o glanced ln,who glared after him In speech- CM= "lie shan't have a penny—not a penny I" he growled, as, sinking hack in his chair, he wiped the perspiration Irom his forhead. "What's ihe matter now ?" said the gentle voice of his wife Polly, who had just enter( d the room. "Matter enough, I should say, Russell has gone—.,ctuttlly cleared out, so as not to see his cousin. What do you thick of tat P" "I think you will have another attack of the gout ir you get yourseir so excited," said the good lady as she placidly resumed her knitting. "What's to be done now ?"

She stye she can't bear to hear his name mentioned, and that it was era much as she could do to get her consent to come at ale When she beard that Russell was at home." "They are a couple of simpietous," said the old gentleman, t wily. "I've got n hull' a mind to make -another will and leave my property to wane charitaide insti.ution." In going to Dighton, whither he was bound, Russell Wilder had to travel part of the way by stage. There was only one passenger beside him. self, for which he was not awry, the day be ing very hot and sultry. I his pasenger was a lady ; there was an air of unmistakable ladyhood about per which told him that. He noticed particularly the daintily gloved bands and wall•fltting boots. Her graceful form indicated that lAN was young and pretty, but ho c•auld not see her face ou account of the envious veil that hid it. But as soon as she got comfortably settled In the corner to which Russell helped her, she threw it back, disclosing a fair, sweet face, lighted by a pair of wondrously bright black eyes which a swift, b iwildering glance iiro his which were so intently regarding her. The sudden starting of the ceach, which sent some of the lady's parcels from the seat to the floor, gave Russell an opportunity of speaking, as he returned them, of which he was not slow to take advantage. From this they fell easily into conversation; and it was curious how sociable they became. They talked of the beautiful scenery through which they were pr ssing ; of the newest books and latest magazines, acme of which Russell had with him. The lady Inwardly thought her Companion to be the most entertaining and agreea.he man site bad over met with. And as for Russell, he often lost the thread of hia discourse In ad• miring the red, dimpled lips, and the pearly teeth they disclosed whenever she spoke or smiled. Certain it is that his four hours' ride from I'— to Dighton were the shortest four hour's ride that he bad ever known ho his lite. " Where do you want to be left, sir?" in quired the coachman as he entered the vil "At Mr. Charles Hunt's, Locust Hill. Do you know where that ist" said Russell, put• ting his head out of the window. "Certainly, sir; you are there In a jiffy." " Why there's where I'm going I" said the lady, opening liereyes wldelj.

" What a happy surprise, Jennie," she said, after spiriting her off to her own room ; '• I bud given up all hope of seeing you this sum• mer." •• And I bad no idea of being able to come until just before I started.

Russell had also taken great pains with his toilet, as could be seen by the spotless linen and carefully•armuged hair. Tlio pause that was followed by Jennie's entrance was broken by Mr. Hunt, who, in re sponse to a meaning glance from his wife, said : " Russell, allow me to introduce you t 3 your cousin, Jennie ; Miss Carlton, your c iti. sin, Russell Wilder."

SOUTIIERN SOCIAL LIFE Front the Tribune. Perhaps there is no more curious phase of our purely social life, or one more deserving of attention, titan that of the South at the present time. We have occasional elaborate pictures of it from several Southern writers, who find It not only soothing to their sensibil ities to deplore the lost golden age of Slavery, but, most probably, profitable In a pecuniary sense. One of these gentlemen, In a maga zine of the current month, dips his pen In al ternate tears and gall to depict the deplorable condition of the young ladles and gentlemen " of Virginia deprived of their former corps of fieldlind household servants. There can bo little doubt that life in the Virginia plantations lathe more suggestive sign of the depth of the change made by the war, and one that ap• peals most nearly to our sympathies. The culture (particularly of the women ) was high er and broader that in any, other Southern St ate; th e treatment of the slaves more humane; the hospitality as unstinted end more enlight ened, for it was capable 01 offsrlng fond to the brain oldie guest as well as his body. In spite of the peevish heat and resentment with which our neighbors are apt to reject our overtures of friendship, they cannot hinder our warm and hearty recognition of their laims up in it, both before and after our quar rel. Ni, person of common sense denies either the compassion due to their position, deprived of tin ir sole source of income, at the very period when an exhaustive crippling war rendered them least able to bear such loss. But the Notherner, when he loses his income, does not hill flat to the ground ; hts bra a or hands or feet are ready to help him : and if the negro, as a source of livelihood, crippled all these in his master so as to make hint the enfeebled, resourceless burden which lie de,cribes himself to be, it was high time, for his own sake, that the negro was taken from hint. The lugubrious writer in Lippincott begins Ids tale ot woe sty stat'ng the alarming tenure In the wheat and other crops, w huh he as cribes to the want of labor, tau "negroes" in vailitoly prefer' ing to work fornnyb My "else than their old masters :" a significant fact Irons which any oilier eyes than those of an • aroma Southerner could draw the moral, and which conflmis with the ancient tales of "pa triarchal blinds and affection trom generation to sreheral Next we are told that, negro children being no longer profitable, "women without lucent- Wanes" are preferred as servants; consequent ly tewer black children are burn, and those f,w, , whitt with freedom and free schools, are I reared in a much less obedient manner than in slavery. Probably our colored brethren , Minx they ought to have learned obedience s iffielently by this time, and are acquiring some 'tiler virtue. But the CHUMS of elo qusnee and pathos is given in the discription of the typical Virginia I idy, "of jeweled Lingers, classic features and absolute repose of manner, a woman of our preferred 'stock, our best strain of blood," occupied in cook ing, bed making, and finally paperhanging, "at the sight of which," bewails der Jeremi ah, "profound pity welled up within my "soul." As a parallel picture, he presents the brother of this ludy,"aquillne nused,firm chinned, inured to battle, and sighing for the good old war times, but heeliig, plowing, and digging manfully in the hot sun from morn ing to night." At which depressing spectacle the author "burns like fire,' and relieves his heat in the proper chivalric manner by a vol ley of oaths against the Abolitionists and The Tribune We suspect that he will not carry his audi ence altogether with him in his fervor or die pair. Cooking, bed•rualting, and milking cows are certainly not the most desirable oc— cupations for women of culture and refine ment; but there are very few such women, however wealthy, living on !arms In the North Who have not been forced often to prac tice them from the difficulty of Meld lug ser vants. Now the Virginia lady for genera tions has'had the chance of furnishing herself with trained servants, and if she has tailed to do so or to bind them to her by any Bei:minter of association or affection, other than that of orce, she certainly Is as much to be blamed aa pitted. As for her brother, we heartily congratulate the young fellow on havingtaken to the plow and hoe so vigorously. When we knew him, years ago, dancing at Green• brier, provi..g his knightly valor by gallop lug round a field at Berkeley to thrust a long pole through a ling, gambling and swig ; ging tniut-juleps at the Spottswood House, we hardly would have hoped , for so much manly stuff in him. When this wholesome fight with the soil and sun shall have brought out the latent energy of his body, his brain probably will have its turn of development, - aod he will find there are countless accessible ways of earning a support independent of his -- oat stuff the negro, and quite unconnecte with the plow and lice.

After praising Schure's speech as a re. markabie rhetorical tfl'ort, and paying com. pimiento to Sumner and Trumbull also, class. ing the three as the moat eminent members of the Senate, ho says : "At the same time, as the calm chroniclers of current events, we are forced to admit that the administration propl&auffer more frbm the ability of their opponents than from the facts proven. Recognizing the melancholy truth that the brain of the Republican party has been alienated from its counctls,aud holdsan antag onistic position to its official rulers, these peo ple were thrown into a panic over. the pros. p act of a lose of the German vote. This seemed to paralyze them so that they could not treat the charge of fraud w"th the indifference it re illy deserved. For after sifting with care MI the evidence offered, we are forced to ad mit that not even a prima facie case has been made out. At the &mac of our late civil war the government found itself possessed of a vest amount of material in the way of arms of all sorts, that were not only useless but would nOt bear keeping, because of the im provernents continually demanding accep tance if we wish to keep pace with other governments in this respect. The law author izing the sale Is auflictently broad to allow a general sale of all material. It reads that the ' Secretary of War may sell at private or pub lic sale, as lie may deem moat advantageous 'to the public interest, the - old cannon, arms, and other ordnance attires now in possession of the War Dena t nent,whleh are damaged or otherwise un ultublefor the United States seri. vice.' Now whether to secare an advanta• geous sale the Department could manufacture ammunition to suit the arms, Is questionable. It is the only question in Cite whole unit "That the secretary should seek to use the advantage given him by a great war in Eu rope is right and proper. He la bound to know that the armftlins disposed of are tolind that matket, for he Is supposed to have corm• mon sense ; but he is not 'prohibited from acting by such knowledge. The doctrine of neutral duties sought to be established by Senators Sumner and Schutz are the same recognized by the infamous Washington treaty that we have denounced as foreign to our practice in the past, and fatal to our future es a nation. It was not pleasant to as during the late civil war to have England to follow our own precedents, and under that impulse our representatives of the high Joint commis• shin sought to establish new rules. The re sult is a remedy when too late to be (Ossetic° and a recognition of International law that robs us of our strength hereafter." - • The European Powers threaten Interference a•iih the proposed tax On raw Unitatgli Franco.
