Patrick Slattery of Rochester Does Up William Baker of Buflalo io Fire Rounds. Rochester, Aug. 25. A terribly desperate prize fight was de cided late Monday afternoon at Trouiburn, Monroe county, a small village twenty miles west of Rochester.

On Tuesday last the newly-married couple started for Bath to visit relatives of the groom. The bride arrived on the evening train. It seems that the husband of Mrs. Douglass became separated from her at Brunswick station. Mrs. Douglas became alarmed at his non appearance. It was ascertained that he came no further than Brunswick, where, after be had obtained a seat for his wife, he either by mistake or intentionally took another train and left for parts unknown to the bride. The young lady, by request of her parents, was sent to her home in Madison. Advice to Mausers.

While some visionary cranks in Paris are trying to formulate a "universal language,” it is of interest to notice that in number nearlv one-half and in circula* tion about two-third* ot the newspaper* in the world are published in English,and the proportion is increasing every year. The "universal language” is here ail ready, and in good working order. If the telegraphic rumor that China is going to embark in railroad building is true, the Celestial Empire may yet be opened up to the Twentieth Century tour ist and “conducted” part’es through China ma? become as common as they now are through the ancient cities in Europe. Seriously, it China is proposing to build railroads, her ruler* must have overcome a deep-seated prejudice which regards making cuts through mountains as sacri legious. In condemning the “spirited foreign policy” of their government, the Italian radicals place themselves in line with the radicals of France, (Jermany and England. The one simple thought which underlies this protest against foreign conquest and adventure, is that the great bodv of the people who furnish the money and the men to carry on wars, do so against their will, nnd contrary to their best interests, peaceful development at home is what the Italian radicals want, not showy conquests in the Soudan. The Irish people, at home, consume a large amount of tobacco, but not a pound of it is ever grown tn that country. Yet it is said that the land in many parts is well adapted to it, and it is estimated that an average profit of an acre could bo easily made at it. And what is the ob stacle P Nothing but an old law, mado in Cromwell’s time, which, designing to tester the tobacco plantations in the American colonies, decreed that no one should grow the plant in ('treat Britain and Ireland. England cannot care much now lor the prosperity of American to bacco-planters. Yet she leaves that law on her statute-hooks. It is strange that some Iriend of Ireland has not started an agitation for its repeal. There is a strike in the shops of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway at Den ver, and several attempts have been maito within the past two months to wreck trains upon the mad bv the use of dynamite. An attempt of a peculiarly atrocious char acter to destroy an express train by placing a large quantity of the explosive on the track is reported in a dispatch from Den ver Monday morning, and it is said that this intamous crime is au outgrowth of the strike. Workingmen who go so far beyond the legitimate means they are en titled to use to better their condition as to put the lives of scores of innocent per sons in peril, deserve nothing from the community save a long period of impris onment. These outrages ought to be con demned by labor organizations, and mem bership should be refused to any working man justly suspected of a disposition to resort to such methods Adverse criticism with reference to the Panama Canal Company’s work, pros pects. and financial condition lias hereto fore originated in this country and in Great llritian Official reports to our Govern ment. the latest tieing that of Engineer Meuocal, have from time to time shown the progress made and described the for midable problems yet to be solved. These, with occasional reviews of the company's financial history published here and in London, have enabled our people to form sound opinions about the present condition of the great enterprise. But in France, where the money has thus far been raised, oonfidenoe in the great canal builder seems to have obscured the facts concerning which an investor usually desires to be well informed. For that reason the state ments recently published in London and the company's application for permission to raise more money by the lottery plan opened the eyes of some shareholders and ‘depressed canal securities in Paris. Now a well known writer upon financial sub jects has published in the Economists Francais the results ol his inquiries about the company’ resources and expenditures. The shares continue to fall.

Opening D»y of the Muter of the Pint Brigade. *r»lw u4 n Dat.^ •kMUag Ktuk. The opening day of the encampment of the First Brigade was an anspicions one. The weather which had been threatening on Mon day had improved. Although overcast, the temperature was quite comfortable aod there was an absence of the dreaded rain. The Frontier Guards slept soundly and without a sentinel,the men having made an early start in the morning and being somewhat exhausted. The Biddeford company oroe at 3 o’clock, A. M., aod entered their quarters, a lantern having been left burning to guide them. At 8 30 o’clock, A. M., the Capital Guards filed out of their hall on Water street and marched to the grounds. The company looked finely, and have evidently improved since last yesr. It is now one of the best companies in the regiment. The first special troop train came from the West at 9 18, and halted at the State House siding where the companies,accompan ied by the Yarmouth Band, alighted, and the baggage waa discharged. At 10 30 the Second Regiment train bowled into the atation from the east with companies of the Second Regi meot. A large crowd waa present to receive them, and the troops, on reaching the platform, proceeded to Commercial street and formed, headed by the Bangor Band, and took up their line of march, moving at once to their quarters. On the grounds all was hustle and activity. Drays, wagons, and truck teams had brought the baggage around and dumped it, and the men commenced unpacking and taking steps to establish them-elves beneath their canvass. There waa a vast amount of arranging to at tend to, which required much time to com plete. For dinner, baked beans, brown bread and coffee were served beneath the dining tents. The tables had not all been finished until a short time before the dinner hour, and some delay was occasioned. The steam cooking apparatus works admirably. It requires but one minute and a half to boil water in the tanks. A quantity of corned beef was suc cessfully boiled yesterday afternoon. The sutler's tent was completed at a late hour Tuesdav night. It is covered with can vass, and has board walls. A tent for the use of Col. Farrington, inspector of rifle prac tice, has been raised near the shooting range A second pavilion was constructed yesterdmv in front of the Governor’s Headquarters. It is some smaller than its companion. The company skirmish match begun yester day just before noon, the Biddeford and Augusta companies opening it. The distance was 100 to 200 yds.; third class target: firing points unknown; rounds 10; five shots fired in advancing and five in retreating. Compa nies competing with more than thirty-five men,had five points additional added to their score for each man in excess of thirty five. Companies competing with less than thirty five men, had five points deducted for each man less than thirty-five—not less than twen ty-five men allowed to compete; highest per cent to win; Cartridges U. S. Cartridge Company, Lowell, Mas*. Gen Brown and U. S. Officer Graham w- re nn the field and witnessed a portion of the shooting. But three companies participated in the match during the day, viz: Augusta and Biddelord Companies and the Frontier Guards. Their score was as follows Capital Guards, 40 men, 700 points, average 174; Biddeford company, 38 men. 053 points, average 25; Frontier Guards, 38 men, 1182 points, aver age 31. The shooting of the Hast port men was highly praised by U. S. Officer Graham. Twenty-two hulls-eyes were made. Col. Farrington will have the tatget photographed. The company team match opens this morn ing at 7 o’clock A. M. Regimental teams will report to Col. Farrington at the range at 12.30 P. M. The company skirmish match will be finished later. Guard was mounted for the first time at 1.30 1’. M. The guard was regimental, there being no brigade guard. The afternoon drill was by companies, and the evening dres# parade regimental. The air was very cool last evening and some discomfort arose, Many of the men wore their heavy overcoats and the guards made requisition for a fire, which was allowed them. Many of the sol diers were given permission to leave the camp last evening. At 8 P. M. a fine concert was given at the headquarters of the First Regi. ment by the Yarmouth Band, which was appreciated by those present present. The music was really first-class. This evening Col. Lynch with field and stall officers of his regiment accompanied by the band will pay their compliments to Gen. Brown, and there will be a concert at brigade headquarters. Col. Lynch proposes that the 1 First Regiment shall do thorough work in the battalion drill, and will hold a school of instruction at his quarters each evening for line officers.

j 8 A TOILET LUXURY. Ayer’s Hair Vigor is the most cleanly of all preparations for toilet use. It h a delightful dressing for the hair, arrests the tendency to baldness, is agreeably perfumed, and Is an effective remedy for all diseases of the hair or scalp. Mrs. D. N. Parks, Clio, Mich., writes: One bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor lias entirely restored my hair to its natural color, and given it a beautiful, soft, silky appear ance. I am fifty-seven years of age, and was quite gray. By the use of that one bottle of AVer’s Hair Vigor, the original color was perfectly restored, and I now have as fine a head of hair aa when 1 was sixteen.” Bessie H. Bedloe. Burlington, Vt., was troubled with a disease of the sealp, which caused her hair to become harsh and dry, and to fall out so freely that she scarcely dared to comb it. Ayer’s Hair Vigor restored the scalp to a healthy condition, cleansed her head of dandruff, and made her hair beautifully thick and glossy. This Dreparation is approved and recommended by physicians. AYER’S Hair Vigor Restores Vitality. When the hair begins to fade, grows gray, becomes weak, thin, brittle, and harsh, the vital forces of the organs, on which it depends, may be reestablished by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It will cause a new growth, presenting the lux uriance and color of youth. Every woman who lias arrived at the middle age, and who wishes to retain the original beauty of her hair, should use this incomparable remedy. Mrs. O. O. Prescott, 18 Elm st., Charlestown, Mass., writes: “Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. On using Ayer’s Hair Vigor, the falling stopped, a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. My hair has continued to grow, and is now as ample as before it fell.” W. W. Wilkins, Windsor. III., says that erysipelas in the head left his scalp as bald as an infant's. The use of less than a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor produced a fine growth of new hair, of the original color. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer A Co., (Analytical Chemists), Lowell, Mass.
