The aggregate of these ob ligations in 1714 was but $1,500,000,- 000. while it stood in 1880 at $24,500,- 000,000. Mr. Henry O. Adams, of Baltimore has an elaborate and very interesting and suggestive paper upon the subject in the March number of the International Review. He calls attention to the faet that, while previ ous to 1850 Great Britain alone of all civilized nations knew the burden of a great national debt, the phenomenon of public debts is now almost universal. The employment of governmental credit as a means of raising revenues is a comparatively modern method of financiering, and the disposition to rely upon it shows no signs of diminuation.

Up to date, the Secretary of the late meeting, has received twenty-four petitions for and six against having an election, but as new overseers have been elected since the meeting, these now go for naught. It is proposed to publish petitions for and against hav ing an election in the count; papers, one of which can be clipped out and signed by each overseer, and forwarded to some responsible person or persons, who will, if the number reaches the requisite two-thirds of all the overseers in the county, present them to Court, but as we said before, we think that the overseers and all the people of the county should know beforehand what it is costing them to maintain their poor.

The bouds will he forthwith surrender ed to the bank 9, and the lawful money substituted for them will be retained by the Treasury to pay off the notes of the banks as they come in for redemp tion. This course is taken in pursuance of an act passed in 1874, previous to which bonds held as security for cir culation could be withdrawn only after the circulation had actually been pre sented and redeemed. The Senate Fun ding bill repeals this act of 1874, and restoves the law to its former condition.

Mr. Brown died a few weeks ago, leaving an es tate valued at about $2,000,000 Un der the terms of his will, dated March 30, 1871, a number of bequests are made and then all the rest and residue of the estate given to his daughter and grandchild .-hare and share alike, and in the case of the d ath of either her share to become the property of the survivor. The daughter, Mrs. Jane B. Finley, is dead, and thus the bulk of the estate would pass to the granddaughter. A son of a second wife of Mr. Finley seems to stand in the way, however, and the contest of the will is probable. Judge Neale, the guardian, proposes to hold the proper ty until the heiress becomes of age, wbich determination is resisted by the baroo. As to the personality of this distinguished individual there is said to l>e some doubt. Miss Finley met him while traveling in Europe with a certain Duchess of Hamilton, who may or may not bo the Duchess(?) of the same name who was arrested in France for providing wealthy American girls with worthless husbands. Some time sin ;e the Baltimore Sun published an article claiming that Lord Linton was not the name of the individual who was traveling under it, and it is possi i ble that a strange story may surround the husband of an heiress.

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 causea a new growth in all cases where the glands arc not decayed; while to brashy, weak, oi otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality •Hid strength, and renders it pliable. The Vioor 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 th( 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 Viook is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will 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.
