Beauty
Is desired and admired by all. Among the things which may best be done te enhance personal beauty is the daily use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. No matter what the color of the hair, this prepa- ration gives it a lus- tre and pliancy that ~ adds greatly to its charm. Should the hair be thin, harsh, dry, or turning gray, Ayer’s Hair Vigor
will restore the
color, bring out a
new growth, and render the old soft and shiny. For
keeping the scalp clean, cool, and healthy, there is no better preparation in the markét.
“ T am free to confess that a trial of Ayer’s Hair Vigor has convinced me that it is a genuine article. Its use has not only caused the hair of my wife and daughter to be
Abundant and Glossy,
but it bas given my rather stunted mus- tache a respectable length and appear- ance.” —R. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.
“My hair was coming out (without any assistance from my wife, either). | I tried Ayer’s Hair Vigor, using only
one-bottle, and I now have as tine a head of hair as any one could wish for.”’ —R. T. Schmittou, Dickson, Tenn.
‘*T have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor in my family for a number of years, and re- gard. it as the best hair preparation I know of. It keeps the scalp clean, the hair soft and lively, and preserves the original color. My wife has used it for a long time with most satisfactory re- sults.”’ — Benjamin M. Johnson, M. D., Thomas Hill, Mo.
‘* My hair was becoming harsh and dry, but after using half a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor it grew black and glossy. I cannot express the joy and gratitude I feel,’’ — Mabel C. Hardy, Delavan, IL.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Trade at ‘Montague.
Sir,—The Patriot correspondent’s trade bulletin from Montague is less dolorous this week than usual. There are, it seems, rumors of an *‘improvement ” in the Am- erican market for potatoes.
Of course, **trade” at the Bridge con- tinues ‘‘ very dull” according to the strict rule of faith and practice among unrestrict- ed Reciprocitarians at home and abroad. It is gratifying to observe that no allu- sion is made in the report to the prevalence or increase of ‘* Annexation sentiment
.| among our people ” ; or the ** interweaving
of a Natianal color for the whole American continent” ; even the twin spectres, ** Pro- tection and Monopoly,” are let severely alone. His graphic description of the prosperous condition of the Montague sshools is pleasant reading, and proves be- yond contradiction that the village is again rising from its ashes, and that his previous doleful comparison between the silence of its temporarily deserted streets, and the ruins of the buried cities of Italy was altogether premature.
On the whole, it may be said that a faint uote of cheerfulness pervades this latest utterance of the Montague shipping cor- respondent. Whether this improvement in tone on his part can be traced to ** recent quotations” from the Boston market, or! last week’s ‘* quotations ” from the Bard of Hope, as rendered in THe Examines, let the judicious reader determine.
The correspondent is evidently eager for a fight with some one on the great public issues of the day, and with this laudable (7) purpose in view has'an interesting habit of trailing his coat tails in the dust of politics, and indulging in free and vigorous terms of speech—one of the ancient forms of chal- lenge (be it observed) to a faction fight.
On the 17th ult., in his letter to the Patriot, without the slightest provocation, he went entirely out of his way to sneer at a political opponent, whe has as good a right to cherish and deiend his political views probably asthe puissant correspon- dent himself. His sneer was unfortunate. It recoiled, and drove him from his big guns. This week he changes his base of operation, and shoutsa new note of defi- ance in reference to matters of local con- cern. Let the chivalrous trade and ship- ping correspondent keep his energy in check till the Christmas holidays are past, and when his final trade budget for the year is laid before the public, if he still continues his guerulous moanings on the one hand, and (to borrow his own elegant phraseology) his *‘ unreliable misleading statements ” on the other, he may be called upon to to act his part in a dramatic per- formance, wherein a ‘* thunderstorm” will very likely be represented. In conclusion, I beg leave to extend to him, at this aus- picious season, the customary wish of a Merry Christmas.

Assimilating Canada.
(Chicago Globe.)
Yesterday the distinguished statesman from Cincinnati, Mr. Ben Butterworth, brought in a scheme for the assimilation of
Season Tickets for Canes sk eee os emaene es . Canada. What does it mean?
” of BOE 2s cneccs scednavequee > a 46 * Diemee TUNE Bi ii iis. de cbcokveedath 2 00 If the gentleman had said ‘‘for the an Promenade Tickets for Season...........+++ i 60] nexation of Canada,” all of us would know
what he meant. But that is not what he means. He knows, and all the world doth know, that annexation is an American word of offence to all nations, because an- nexation means the act of grabbing the territory of another nation and keeping it, Mr. Butterworth means no offence, there- fore he don’t mean annexation, but assimi- lation,
Assimilation is a ‘“‘horse of another color.” Assimilation is, according to the dictionary, the act of making a thing that which it is not! Mr. Butterworth will bring in a bill to make Canada that which it is not by the miraculous effect of a statutory enactment! The project of Butterworth is a great one.
Assimilation includes at least four dis- tinct processes, the first of which is
Mastication. Mastication is the act of chewing (Am. chawing) up. The first sec- tion of Mr. Butterworth’s bill will provide for ‘*chawing up” Canada. * °° by statu- tory enactinent.
The second stage in the process of assi- milation is
Deglutition. Deglutition is the act of swallowing that which has been chawed up, The second section of Brother Butter- worth’s Bill will provide for swallowing Canada (after Canada has been chawed up bygsection 1) * * * of course by statutory énact ment.
The third stage of assimilation is
Digestion. Digestion is the act of con- verting sumething that has been chawed up and swallowed into a ‘‘soft pap”’ called chyme: The third section of Brother But- terworth’s bill will convert Canada, after that country has been chawed up by section one, and swallowed up by section two, into a soft pap, which will contain the Canadi- ans in a masticated and deglutated condi- tion.
The fourth stage of assimilationis —__
Chilefaction, This is the act of separating the aforesaid chyme into two parts, namely, chyle ard that which it casts out, like the heathen Chinese, because it won't assimil- ate. Chyle is a milky fluid formed by the action of the pancreatic juice, which corres- ponds to the genius of the author of this as- similative project and bile, which corres- ponds to his disposition, on the said chyme, or soft pap. Assimilation is completed when the chyle is **imbibed by the lact- eals,” which must mean the unweaned per- sons that ‘‘ take stock” in Brother Butter- worth’s programme of assimilating Canada by the miraculous power ofa ‘“‘be it en- acted.”

GERMAN Spies IN Franor.—The German spy Blumenthal, who has just been expelled from France, leased at Conflans under the wias of Baron Degilly. He had with him a companion who was supposed to be a woman, but who, it appears, was really a German cadet. They took photographs of the forts with an aparatus which they concealed in a perambulator. Blumenthal had several carrier pigeons.
camille Moncton Trape.—During the season of navigation juet closed seventy-five vessels clexred at Moncton for foreiga ports, all being for the United States, except one vessel for Bermuda. - This is an ivcrease of four vessels over last year.

The mayor and citizens marched in procession to the cathedral. The mayoress presented to the city two new flags, to replace those cap- tured by the French, and a sermon appro- priate to the occasion was preached, The fes- tivities in the evening inolnuded a display of fireworks, a banquet and a ball. ——_»———
Tran Roseinc.—Two masked men boarded atrain at Duck Hill, Miss., Friday night, covered the engineer and firemen with re- voivers and, after a short run, made them stop the train. They then went to the ex- press car and forced the messenger to give up all the money, sume $3,000, that be had in his possession. The conductor and two passen- gers opened fire on the two robbers, who re- turned the shots, and one of the passengers, & young man named Hughes, was killed. The robbers escaped, but at latest accounts were being pursued with bloodhounds.

A Vacvapie Pusrication.—The December issue of the Writer has just come to hand, It is a most useful number and contains much that is interesting to lovers of literature. Among the rest we note with pleasure two very able, though brief articles on journalism, with special reference to country newspaper work. This enterprising magazine is making for itseli a very prominent position, and although but little more than a year old, it now numbers its subscribers by thousands. is published monthly at the price of $1 per annum, and may be obtained from the office of the Writer, Boston, Mass,
Rerccers Returninc.—The yellow fever scare being over in Jacksonville, Fla., the large number of persons who left that place rather suddenly on the first appearance of the outbreak, are now returning. Every noithern train is well filled with reiugees, as many as five hundred arriving in thirty hours. The refugees are met by bands of music and peo- ple bearing banners of welcome and other demonstrations of joy. Business is opening up again and the streets present almost their wonted appearance. It is estimated that there will be fully 5,000 arrivals per week during the next month. The prospects for the season and the general business are said to be good.

Woman's FiCKLENESsS.--A young man who “‘ went on,” as the expression goes, to denote grief over the bier of his wife, about eighteen months ago, fell in love with a damsel of 17 last summer, says the Albany Journal. He gave her all the clothee his wife had, and sold a horse and carriage the departed gave him, giving his affianced the proceeds, Then he went to New York and secured work, sending the young woman money with which to pre- vare herself for the wedding, which was to come off this month. A short time ago he came back to Albany to (wed the young wo- man and to his surprise found that she had been married the week before to another

Pork ProgLem.—Here is a small problem that has been handed TH EXaMINeER for pub- lication: ‘‘A farmer sold two pigs—one weighing 500 and the other 200 Ibs—for 8 cents a pound all round, After obtaining his money the farmer informed the dealer that the big pig belonged to a neighbor of his and ask- ed how much he would have \o g:ve him as hia share of the proceeds. The dealer told him to give one cent per pound more than he kept himself, and it would be all right. What was tho other man’s share?” Answers addressed ““ M.” will be received at this office until this day fortnight when the names of those send- ing the correct solution will be published.
ImMicRATION Statisti¢es.—The statistics published by the Immigration agencies show that since the first day of Jenuary last, 83,000 immigrants have come to Canada to settle while 73,000 have passed through the Domin- ion on their way to the United States. The St. John Gazette commenting on these statis- tics says it is quite evident that Canada, what- cver some of ite own pwned sons say or think of it, is most tavorably regarded in Europe .and is every year drawing to it a larger proportion of those who desire to better their condition by immigration, Canada only appears poor to those mean minds which have expended their energies in endeavoriug to dis- e outer
