ENGLAND'S DISTRESS AT HOME.-Thei
are gloomy prospects ahead duriug tr.
coming winter for the English poo
The telegrams and mail accounts recen
ly have spoken nf tho advunce iu tl
price of fuel. "Coal has gone up," i
the saying is, and whether the advant
in price arises from a falling off in tl
yield, increased consomption by the m
nufactories, or by reason of tho confiic
between the miuers and their muster
tho fact romuins thu same, that coal h
enormonsly risen in price from the rat
charged last your. This of itself won
provo a hardship, especially to the poor
classes; but then tbore are other misfc
tunes still moro distressing. Tho pota
crop bus failed generally throughout t
British isles. Thu accounts from the a
ricultural districts in the English shit
is of the most distressing character,
writer in one of the agrionltural pape
of England estimates that 1.630,0
acres of tho potato crop uro all but t
stroyed, while another equally good fi
thority declares that ho "hardly ever i
members thu malady so general and t
destruction HO complete." In lroia
and Scotlaud thu crop is also blightt
possibly not to the same extent as
England, but sufficiently extensive to
severely felt by tho poorer classes in ht
countries. Th? foot und mouth disui
among the cattle is another cause
alarm. Tho disease, which made iti
manifest to a considerable extent 1
year, has now re? appeared ia et ill grea
proportions. In Norfolk, in two wee
the loss in sheep alone amounted in va
to ovor 8112,000. Taking evorytb
into consideration, and with these fu
before UB, it is evident that tho appro
of winter ia regarded with feelings
dread by tho poor, hard-worked and
paid mechanics, laborers and work
people of England, Ireland and Scotia

THE WAY TO WIN.-The Louisville !
Courier-Journal is a fine papor, and it |
very often says Que things better than
any other paper can say them. It points j
out in a recent urticle the way to win, iu
strong, terse, pure Sar. m. Wo repro- J
duce portions of its sound advice:
The friends of Mr. Greeley are relying
altogether too much on the fact that a
majority of the people prefer him to ,
Grant. They are making too little effort.
They are too much incliued to fold their !
arms and poaaivoly wait for victory to 1
perch upon their banner. They must j
throw oil this idleuess and enter into the
campaigu more vigorously. They must
act upon the advice of Hercules to the
wagoner, and put their shoulders to the
wheel. By vigorous and concerted aotion,
thero ia no doubt they will bo able to '
pull through; but, if they leave the Libe?
ral campaign to run itself, they may
lose uli.
We do not say that the Liberal candi?
dates would not be oleoted in spite of
the extraordinary efforts of the Radicals
to defeat them, if not another liberal
speech were made and not a Liberal
dollar expended during the rest of the
campaign. The ground-swell is a reali?
ty, and it is felt in every part of the
country, from North to South, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. But there is
too much at stake to trust everything to
the great ro-aotion in popular sentiment.
Tho Democrats and Liberals cannot
afford to remain passive in this contest.
If they lose, they lose everything-con?
stitutional government and nil. It will
not do for them to uuder-estimato the
potency of the influences which aro
being brought to bear by the friends of
Gen. Grant. It will not do to rely too
mnch on the evidences of a popular pre?
ference for Greeley.
We need hardly say that we feel the
utmost anxiety respecting the Presiden?
tial contest. The freeing of the South?
ern people from the thraldrom in which
they have been held sin?o the termina?
tion of tho war depends upon it.
Honesty and purity in the administra?
tion of public affairs depeuds upon it.
The restoration of nationality and peace
to all sections depends upou it. The
maintenance of constitutional govern?
ment and the preservation of freo insti?
tutions depend upon it.
Wo appeal to Liberals and Democrats,
therefore, to do their duty, and their
whole duly. The battle is already half
won. Let us not loso it by culpable
negligence.
HORACE GREELEY-Sut: As citizens of

should of course take a solemn oath to
respect and obey the Constitution of the
United States. That noble instrument 1
recognizes no distinction between citi?
zens of the United States based on color,
and I should be governed thereby,
should not especially favor one race or |
another, but I should use all the power
of my cilice to uphold and enforce the I
equal rights of all citizens, whether white
or black. Yours,

So extensively Is the adulteration of
tea now carried on in China, that Mr.
Medhurst, tho British Consul at Shang?
hai, receutly wrote that D3.000 pounds
of willow leaves were in course of manip?
ulation at ouo port aloue, to be mixed
with tea for shipment, at the ratio of
from teu to twenty per cent.
A mau in Arkansas issued cards of in?

The question hos often been asked by
,hose interrestod, "Can I have my grey
bair restored to its natural color, with
)ut coloring the Bkin? and can my thin
looks be thickened?" We answer, "It
Min;" and would advise you to read a
treatise on the hair, which is published
t>y B. P. Hall & Co., Nashua, N. H., who
send it free, upon application. They
?re the proprietors of Hall's Vegetable
Sicilian Bair Renewer. We learn from
it, the hair, in a perfect state of health,
is co3Htautly falling out, and new hairs
?row from the same tubes; but, in case
jf any disease of the scalp, or by the use
>f alcoholic preparations, the hair tube
jecomcs contracted at its mouth, and
prevents the new follicle from reaching
the surface. Their preparation will
create a perfectly healthy condition of
the scalp, and, by its tonic properties,
will preserve and strengthen tho roots
jf the hair.

ADMINISTRATION TACTICS.-A gentle?
man representing ono of the railroads
terminating at St. Louis, and who lately
held tho office of postmaster of a town in
Illinois, had a circular addressed to him
EI day or two since, from the Grant and
Wilson headquarters, Chicago, asseessing
him $48 towards tho expenses of
tho present campaign. The circular
states that the contest is a close one in
Illinois and expensive. It states further,
that money is especially wanted to secure
German speakers and documents in Ger
man for circulation. Thus, by unwit?
tingly ?ending a note to an uninterest?
ed party, have the emissaries of the Ad?
ministration exposed their tactics. The
admission in the circular is au import?
ant one.-St. Louit Republican.
For an unexplained reason, it is said

fainted at the sight of the "Beast."
