Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which is at
once agree
able, healthy,
and effectual
for preserv
ing the hair.
Faded or gray
hair is soon
restored 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 re
store the hair wher-e the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. Blut such as remain
can be saved for usefYilness by this
application. 'Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean aind vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, It does not soil white cam
brie, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
gratefuil perfbme.

and tweonty-four acres,'bounded by landn
of James Turner, Sr., Thomas Rlobertnon
and WV J. Hoerron. There is a fair paortior

THE RIFLE PIT.
Down Among the Mon Who Mark tho
Scoro at Croedmoor.
Fron the Xco 1ork Mer<ld.
The coolest place on the rango
was the rlic lpis, right in the line
of fire. That rampart of green sod,
on which Was a sill or beam to hold
u1p tile great ir-on1 targets, and which
again coitinued bohind them far ll)
to a dark gray fence, was underminll
ci with a corridor of bombproofm at
least two hundred yards long.
'T'hen lbeneath the targets sat a row
of laboring mlien, Whose busliness it
was to mark and identify the shots
and to indicate theni on the targets
so that they could be seon by the
riflemen and spectators threo-quair
ters of a mile away. A committee
of investigation from eacih team
also hid in this cool subtorranean
(tell, and before the shooting the
Heraild writer was allowed the in
frequent privilego of walking
through the place.
"What are you paid, boys, for
this kind of work ?" we asked a loan,
matter-of-fact Pat, who sat on one
of the raised plattforns under the
target X. Beside himl was an old,
pipe - smlloking. fatherly Milesian.
"We bes paid $35 the month
works on the grounds by the
m11olith."
"And it's dangerous work, young
gintlemian, said tile old man.
"iEvery mini in the rifle pits has
boon splattered or struck with lead.
Nobody, bless God ! has been killed,
but one poor fellow lost an eyc."
"Look at that plate glass over my
lead," said tile youngi man. "It's
thick, ain't it? Well, see it all
chipped and splintered by the ro,
bounding balls."
"And the turf outside is" plough
ed by bullets as if a thoustnd
ground moles had broke out of jail,"
said the old man. "Nobody in here
dare peep at that ttirget except
through the glas,, because if ye
look thlrough the slit, boyant tile
glass, the lead chips in and burns
ye.
Beside each man, as he sat in his
chair and watched tile great white
ir-on fiamues above, six feet high by
nine wide, wa.i his 'dinner- kettle,
and near his feet were two tin pans
of white and black paint, with in
jenisius brushes, which served at
once to indicate and to eraso. The
back of the brush was a red or a
white signal, and therefore whilo
the ',r- Ales dipped in the paint
erased the mark of the ball, the
distant spectators saw ia circular xod
:ignlal displayed against the white
of the target, a white signal against
tihe black bull's eye.
"Show the gintleman, Billy, how
wo do it. There, sir, when the
target is struck at all this lover is
worked by hand, so. It puts up a
red iron diamiond in tile cornor ,
against tile white of the talget.
That mieans 'struck.' If it don't
tippear there's a miss But vou
ifellows don't miss often. 'Poor
Humph))ireys missed twice yes temrday.
H is gun had the colic, I snplpo:so."
"Well, sur," continued tihe young
man, "if the bull's-eye is hit, I pokes
up this brlesh, andl while I daubs out
the )mrk it shows a white sigvnai.
Out side the bull's--eye I puts up
the re'I'backed bresh, and it covers
the spot,uwhere I'm wiping out tile
hit. And, now, have you got a bit
of t.obakky ?"
H-ore for six long hlours tile mark..
ers keep their seats, never leaving
them, except when relieved, or
whieni ther'e is a dispute about a
shot. Then tile red flag is poked
up through an orifice at the target;
it is responded to at the firing
point b)y a pair of flags in front of
each team. Markers and committee
men rush out to the ramp)art.
Everybody is excitod. "What is
it ?" That is whlat they aro trying
to find out. At length the re
sponso~ goes by teilephlonO to tile
firing point: "Jackson, ciphler!I"
The audience mutter, and "0Oh11-h1!"
goes around disgustedly.
THE PILoIMHAoE TO MEcA.-Tho
nlumber of pilgrims who visit Mecca
annmually is estimated at niot less
than 150,000 to 180,000. The day
of the "Courban Bairam," or Great
Feast, on which the pilgrims must11
be present in Mecca, is tile 9th of
Dhullbi ajja, wich corresponds withl
our 14thl of December, and as it falls
this year on Friday, the Mohamme
dan Sabblath, time coincidence is re
garded as an omen of so much good
that tihe approachinig assemblage is
expected to be one of groat magni
tude and splendor.
Ex--Governor Dix shot six out of
seven teal on the wing and "on the
sipot" at Qogue the other day, and
yet he is eighty years old.
ANOTIIER WHAT-IS-IT.
Description of the Colorado Giant Re
cently Exhumed at Pueblo.
From the Iocky Mormain Vers.
Tho great What-is-it, the Colora
do giant recently oxhumed by Mr.
W. A. Conant, near Pueblo, in Colo
rado, arrived in Denver last Tues
day, and is now on exhibition. The
"giant," says the Denver Tribune,
is certainly a master curiosity, and
is likely to receive no small degree
of attention from the scientists and
curious. It has not yet boon ex
anined by any one capablo of saying
what it is, but opinions som to be
divided betwoon its being a petri
faction and a piece of sculpture.
Whichever it may be, it is truly a
wonder. If the petrified remains of
a man, it will be one of the strong
est arguments for Darwin's theory
of tho dovelopemont of the race that
has ever come to the attention of
mankind. Indeed it will prove al
most the missing link. The arms
are very long in proportion to the
other membors of the body, and one
can see at a glance that it could have
used these for fore feet without the
least inconvenience to its move
ments. It has a tail, a real tail,
a caudal appendage as well devel
oped as that of a rabbit at least.
The tail is four inches long, and of
such a nature that no one can mis
take the purpose for which it was
intended. The figure is certainly
that of a man, and the material
is stone. The limbs are all well
developed, but do not look to have
been as muscular as bony. The
body and arms are longer in propor.
tion than the logs. The features of
the face are not repulsive, and are
well marked, if we except the fore
head. There is very little forehead
indeed, the head receding from the
eyebrows. The noso is rather large,
and he would have been known as:
rather a "cheeky" individual had ho,
lived in the nineteenth century..
The mouth and chin are not unlike
men of our present day. The great
er part of the head is behind the
ears. The body looks very much
like any other stone that has been
subjected to the weather. The stone
is pecked all over as if rain -had
fallen on it until the water had
beaten its way into the stone, giving
the whole body the appearance of a
man who had died with small,pox.,
One hand falls by the side of the
body and the other rests with an air
of reposo upon the breast. The
hands and feet are largo and flat,
and seem to indicate that the being
would havo been as much at home
in the water as on land.
SOME YsTERIES oF 0UINESE CooK
IN.-Americans who dine with the
Chinese are surprised at the perfec
tion to which they have carried their
cooking. During a recent Chinese
banquet at San Francisco an orange
was laid at the plate of each guest.
The orange itself seemed like any
other orr.ngo, but on being cut open
wvas found to contain within the
rind five kinds of delicate jellies..
One was at first puzzled to knovr
how the jellies got in, and, giving
up the chain of reflection, wvas in a.
worse quandary to know how the.
p)ulpy part of the orange got out..
Colored eggs were also served,. ih'
the inside of which weore found nuts,
jellies, meats and confectionery..
When one of the Americans asked
the interpreter to explain the leger
domain of cookery, he expanded his.
mouth in a hoa,rty laugh, and shook
his head and said, "Molican man.
heap smart-why lie not findeo
out ?"
NEw VIEws OF SHERIDAN's RIDE.
And President Hayes will also tell.
you, if he tells thme whole story, that.
the corps to wvhich he belonged was:
very badly demoralized, and was.

corps, under the command of Gen.
HI. G. Wright, was driving the one
