IDESPORTES. Sept 18 Ayer's 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. P1RPARED BY Dr. J. C.

FO , S.A.T...ID. r pHE plantation known as the "Thomp, 1.son Plac," seOven ijles north-wecst o: Winnsboro, or,ntaining threo hundred1 and tweonty-four acres,'bounded by landn of James Turner, Sr., Thomas Rlobertnon and WV J. Hoerron. There is a fair paortior of original, well timb red woods on th<t laco, also a large body of 01hl field pines, lheo best in the eg9inty. For terms &o., annly to 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. skedaddling for Winchester in a dis graceful manner when Sheridan. arrived. And he will also tell you,: if lhe knows the whole history of that. memorable occasion, that the sixth corps, under the command of Gen. HI. G. Wright, was driving the one my, and had got him in full retred. hofore the arrival of Sheridan. When the trune history of the late, dissatisfaction comes to be written, if it ever is, it will be seen that much of the credit which has oluR tored round the name of Sheridan, for the winning of the famous fgi$i at Cedar Creek, belon gs of righ)t to Gen.
