THE HAIR A TEST OF THE CoNsTI-
TUTIoN.-The state of the hair upon
the head, says DR.. Holland, tends to
elucidate the character Of tho consti-
tuition. If strong ard thick, it implies
considerable tone or energy of the vital
powers If, on the other hand, it is
thin, soft, or silky, prone to grow in
length rather than in strength, the ami
NAL system is almost invariably weak,
and the disposition of the individual is
not unfrequently mild, easy and desti-
tute of enterprise, rarely displaying
qualities which indicate force of intel>
lect. We may further remark, as the
result of Car ful observation, that the
curliness of the hair, not merely in in
fancy but in after life, is evidence of
unusual constitutional vigor, though
not necessarily conjoined with a we'll
develowed muscular frame. The vital
properties which throw out the exter-
nal appendagc thich and abundant, in
harmony with the requirements of the
system, are the cause, from the aflu-
ence and activity by which they are
characterized, of this being not only
strong but curly We have no hesita-
ton in the expression Of this opinion
nor will its accuracy be questioned by
those who have given attention to the
matter.

DISTINGUISHED WOMEN.--Madame
de Sevigne remains the single instance
OF a woman who is supreme in a class
of literature which has engaged the
ambition of men Madam Dacier still
reigns the queen of the blue stocking,
though women have long studied Greek
without shame; Madam de Stael's name
still rises first to the lips when we are
asked to mention woman of great in
tellectual power; Madame Roland is
still the unrivalled type of the sagacious
and sternly heroic, yet lovable woman
George Sand is the unapproached ar
tist who, to Jean Jacques eloquence
and deep sense of external nature,
unltes the clear delineation of charac-
ter and the tragic depth of passion.
These great names, which mark differ
ent epochs, soar like tall pines amidst
forest of less conspicuous, but no less
fascinating female writer's and be-
meath these again are spread like a
thlcket of hawthorns, eglantines, and
honey -sucklcs, the women who are
known rather by what they stimulated
men to write, than by what they wrote
themselves, the women whose tact, wit
and personal radiance created the at
mosphere Of the saloon where literature
philosophy and science, emancipated
from the trammels of pedantry and
tecnnicality, entered on brighter
stage of existence.-Lady's Newspaper.

Singular Discovery.

A very curious discovery was made
by the English during the late attack
upon Canton, and which will serve to
illustrate the history of the use of ar
tillery. The landing party which was
sent ashore agter the English vessels
opened their fire, found in one of the
forts upon the river, from which the
garrison had been expelled, battery
of six bronze pieces of artillery, of the
calibre of l6 lbs tie peculiar shape of
which attracted the attention of the Of
ficer in command of the detachment.
These cannon were stamped near the
touch. h.hole with the imperial cipher,
surrounded with Chinese characters,
inclosod within a series of arabesque
very gracefully designed. In the mid
die of these ornaments was cross, in
relief, and below the cross was the date
of 1897 in Roman letters. One Of the
cannon was put on board the Admir-
al's flagship. to be sent to England
the others were spiked. Investiga-
tions which were afterwards made show
the origen of them. The cipher which
they bear is that of the Emperor Kong
Hi, one eff the most eminent of the
Chinese soyereigns, who was born in
1853, and died in 1928. This mon
arch admitted the Jesuits to his Court,
and employed them in different branch
es of his administration. One Of them
the Pere Bouin, was charged with the
superintendent of the cannon foundry
at Nankin, and this is probably a sps-
cimen OF his workmanship.

Underground Railroad Return Trains.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that eve- ry steamboat arriving at that place brings back from Canada families of negroes who have for formerly fled to the Provinces from the States They are principally from Canada West. They describe the life and condition of the blacks Tn Canada as miserable in the extreme. The west Is therefore likely to have large acces- slons to its colored population, and it is not at all improbable that black republicanism and abolltlonlsm will diminish, in consequence, in proportion as the negroes increase. The Can- ada folks do not want them, and have shown disposition in their Parliament and otherwise, to discourage their coming to or remaining in the Provinces. In some instances, the ques- ton of eecting those now resident there, has been discussed. Our western States will be likely to experience similar attack of the pluck vonaito, when they shall have become sa- tstied with this peculiar southern luxury In some localities the superabundant free negro population has already become a burden, while in others they are under severe restrictions, which amount almost to an exclusion from the limits of the State
 Should this exodus from Canada continue to any great extent, 1t would throw such burden upon those States which have adopted the most liberal policy towards the negro, that it would occasion reaction in the public senti- ment, which would compel them to abandon their abolition doctrine and practice, for their own self-protection. We should then hear of fewer attempts to ahduct'slaves from the slave holding States; stock in the underground rail- road would become worthless, and the aboli- uonlSts would be content to allow slaves to re- main under the care and protection of their masters. Even though at heart sympathzng with the oppressed and task worn negro, and yearning towards him with all the love of the professed phanthropst, he would still be per mltted to toll and bleed; for now that the route to Canada has been closed. there is no alterna- tive but to take them to their own bosoms; and this they will not do for love-no, not for money.
 Thus, in one way at least, the country may and possibly will, be rid of the political plague spot which has disgraced it. and prayed upon its vlas fer so long time, will cure itself.- Ne,0 York Journal of Commerce.

From the Neosho Mo. Chief More about the Gold Mines.

Terdigrease, c. N., Sept 12, '57. DEAR SIR: As you desire to know more about the gold mines will write you what I have heard about them.
 saw an olI gentleman, very honorable looking man, by the name of Cox, who told me that he prospected only four or five days; though he said that he never was in gold mine before, but four other men were with him that had prospected in California; that man could make from S25 to $50 per day. He said that he could go to any place like bluff bank and search it and find gold. He said that the gold he had found himself, he had sent off 10 have it tested. The gold saw belonged to one of the gentlemen that were with him. Perhaps it was his son. 1 did not ask his name.
 Mir. Cox lives four miles east of Maysvlle, Benton county, Arkansas. If you wish further information you can write to him yourself; though l believe he told me the truth about the mines However 1 am going to them next spring. This is the second time that 1 have seen gold that came from this place.
 Respectfully yours, RICHARD COODY.

M'LaNe'S Vermituye in Tcxas.

The druggist recommended MLanc's Vermiiuge prepared by you, but having heretofore. tried every Nerlnifuge in my knowing without ad vantage, told him it was not worth while. as my children appeared proof against them all. He said to take bottle, and offered if it done no good to TO- fund the money To satisfy him 1 done so. and the effect was so much better than expected that pot another bottle, and the result was most astonisbino Three of my children discharged great number of the largest worms ever To young man, my mail carrier who was weak, puny and poor as a snake. for a month or so, gave two doses, which brouoht from him at least pint of what is called stomach worms! Strange as this may appear. yet is as true preaching" How the boy stood it. so lono as ba di |, with ten thousand " bots" gnawing at his sto mach, is the greatest wonder to me All these eases now doing well.

Bank Madness.

This is from the New York Courier and En- quirer, one of the most staid and substantial papers in the United States and which seldom speaks unadvisedly:
 THE MEssRs. HARPER-The suspension of Harper Brothers on Thursday is one of those events for which those who know them best were not prepared even in these times. With bonds andsmortgages on productive real estate in this city for more than four times the amount asked for, and bills receivable for ten times the amount, and only asking to have their line of discount restored within S5,OOO of what itshould be-and with the solemn assurance that with out the aid asked, they must suspend and dis charge between six and eight hundred persons Tn ther employ-thev were coldlv permitted to go by the board, and thus be compelled to bring distress and want among several thousand persons who were directly dependent upon them for employment. Who lis benefited by this system? Did 1t make the bank which refused to ald them stronger or weaker?
 But we have no heart to dwell upon mat ter of this kind. In the mercantile history of this city, the case has no parallel; and madness absolute madness, and the most egregous folly must have prevailed at the Board of Di- rectors which perpetraed this nameless act " v "O i'iI0 oulO tuiO HD ItIuie ever IOOk place here, which has excited greater or more merlted sympathy: while its consequences to their employees are such as absolutely to make the heart bleed And all this has been accom- pllshed in consequence of panic prevailing a bank parlor, and the president of Wall street bank lacking the necessary nerve to look in the face weekly statement which might present him in less favorable aspect than some neigh. boring institution.

Resotved, That the death of our beloved brother JESSE W. OWEN, we regard as a loss which will be long and severely felt by the citizens of this community, and the members of the church, under his charge, and the Ma some fraternity at large, especially those sons of hSht, with whom he met and labored: when we assemble his seat will be vacant, his manly form sleeps Tn the grave his immortal part is with the God who gave it.
 Resotued, That we all with one accord offer to the bereaved wife and children of onr dc. ceased brother our warmest sympathies in their atfiictions, and would venture word of con. soation if we did not know that the God bar husband worshiped, was her God also. We can only point her to q throng of bright beings upon the right hand of God, and her husband and our brother will be in the midst. and then whisper, there shall ye meet him. NJ ay he who tempers the winds to the shorn lambs, shelter her and her little ones beneath the protectiDg wings of His providence

The End of Islam

In the midst of anxiety caused bv the news of the war in India and speculation in regard to the movements of European magnates, it is probable that one exceedingly important occur renee has been overlooked The green coat of Mahomet, which is the sacred banner of Islam
 has disappeared from Constantinople This article is believed, by every true Mahomedan to have been wOve in heaven, and brought to the Arabian prophet by the Angel Gabriel; and it is also an article of belief that when the course of Islam is to terminate on earth, the angel will again descend and carry the coat away to the realm of bliss This banner has always been looked upon as the sacred emblem which gave assurance of the truth of Maho- nets mission. It has been guarded for cen turies with the nnSleeping vigilance of fanati- ciSm, in particular mosque of Constantinople. Last spring, report was circulated that the coat had suddenly disappeared, but the Chris tian missionaries put no faith in the story. All doubt, however, has since been dispelled, as we are informed by Rev. Dr. Shauffer, who was a missionary at Constantinople for twenty five years and has just arrived in this country.- Some of the missionaries suppose that the relic has been secretly removed by bgoted Maho- medans, who satisfied that the capital of Turkey is fast loosing it's character as a sacred Nity 10 tO 'dN, b'CoIlllbS CHlloIidtllIeu, and that they will convey the coat to another locality where their false faith appears to be m"re strongly entrenched. Yet the general
 belief of the followers of Islam is, that the garment has vanished supernaturally, and that the occurrence is significant of the close of their peculiar religious mission among men. It has long been known, that the interpretations of sacred volumes of this faith point to the present age as that which is to witness this con- summation. The eye of the seer is scarcely needed to see the inevitable tendency of things in Turkey and in all other countries where Christianity has had an opportunity of fair com- bat with Mahomedansm. It is well that the Turks are satisfied of the destruction of their false creed. and make no serious opposition to what they look upon as the decree of destiny. The conquering fanaticism, cruelty despotic dominion, and gorgeous pageantry which the Arabian camel driver let loose upon the earth is melting away like a gtterng dream, or a splendid mirage of his own desert, before the purer influence of the Christian creed and a higher cvization.-Phila.E Eue.

THE Flow OF GoLD.-Gold is flowing into the country from all quarters. Since the sus- pension in New York, less than week ago, the receipts have been-by the Northern Light, from California, $l,660,000; by the Black Warrior, from Havana, S185OOO; by the Ca hawba, from Havana, $5O0,O0O; and by the Europa, flom England, S315, 900; amounting in the aggregate to $2,660O0O. This gold is be- ing disseminated throughout the country, find ing its way from New Orleans up to St. Louis as a distributing point, and from New York westward to Chicago
 The flow has just commenced. It will con- tinue for several months yet, as the fnanciers of the old world are perfectly aware. With the tide of specie setting thus strongly to this country, a resumption by the banks ought not to be delayed beyond the latter part of next spring-.S Louis News

IT IS LONG LANE WHICH HAS NO TrRNIN,

IT IS A LONG LANE WHICH HAS NO TURNING The London Star lately spoke thus of MT. TcnBroeck's American mare, P1oress, and of our horses now in England generally:
 The pride of the American turftes has been still further humbled, for their crack mare Prioress sustained more ignomnious defeat than that which bcfell her at Goodwood and Lewes. Brother Jonathan must now be satisf ed of the inferiority of his race horses compar- ed with our own, for not one of the "Ameri- cans" with the exception of the least thought of, Babylon, has been able to make even a show of race with second and third rate na- tive horses. American sportsmen, with all ,heir time tests, have no notion of the immense speed of English racers.
 Doesn't the Star wish it had not said that?
