What 10 the Reason.

1t is a melancholy fact that not enc lady in
a hundred, in these United States, has fine or
luxurisnt hair. Everybody is complaining of
the loss Of 'woman's chief glory" and wOn-
dering why on earth pomatums and hair
washes, oils and restoratiyes, fail to bring ii
back I" as per advertisement. We suspect
there would be general exclamation Of in
sredulity among the gentlemen did they but
know what an immense proportion OF the taste
fully arranged tresses they behold on fair
heads grew on somebody else's pate. Almost
every one wears a ''roll' or "braid," which
comes from the hairdresser's, and costs from
five to twenty dollars. 1t is disposed with
consummate skiIl-you cannot distinguish the
sly hair-Pins that fasten on the false decora-
tion, yet there it is, tacit confessiol that ma
ture gives way to art.
"My hair win keep coming out, although
take the greatest pains with Il" sighs the
fashionable belle; II don't see what the trouble
is" IJTi ~ 80
There are several ''troubles," )" arst-and fore
most among which Is the expensive " roll'' IL
self. Any hair-dresser will tell you that the
weight and pressure of this heavy mass of false
hair, with the heat il induces around the head,
is highly prejudieial to the growth and welfare
Of the real hair. If you must wear q roll, let
it be as seldom as possible. Whenever you
can dispense with it, do 80. Let its place be
supplied as often as practicable with light
head-dress, secured with as few hair-pins as
will support il. These last are fearfully de-
structiVe to the hair. cutting and wearing it to
an incredible degree. Gutta percha hair
pins are the best, and even these should be
limited in number.
All sorts of pomstums, oils and preparations
had better be let alone. There is no use in
soaking the skin of the head in grease, as is
often done. If the hair is harsh and dry, cas-
tOr-oil, perfumed, is the best application, but
the scalp itself should not be saturated. Wash
ing the head thoroughly in fair water once a
week will be found very beneficial.
Bodily health is almost essential to the natu-
raj growth Of the hair. Nothing indicates the
progress Of sickness so plainly as the dry, dead
look of the hair; and if our American ladies
want lovely, luxuriant tresses, they must avoid
heated rooms, late hours, and fashionable dis
sipatiOn. There is no help for it-nature will
avenge any Infringement on her laws, and the
sooner we become thoroughly convinced of this
fact, the better for US.
There is no ornament half so becoming to a
female head as thick, beautiful hair. It needs
no decoration beyond a natural flower or two.
Nets, diamond sprays, tiaras Of pearl, are use
less-it is like "painting the lily to wear
them. Remember this, girls, and take every
preoaution to preserve this exquisite ornament
Of Nature manufacture. Once gone, it is hard
to coax back again.

JOHN p. FILLS.
Daily national Democrat., 1860-06-21
The Builder of Cob-houses.

! The Express heads an article in yesterday
issue, with the following: "The Democrat
endorses Major Bidwell and repudiates Pop
ular Sovereignty" Never did an article
have a bigger falsifcation for caption. We
neither endorsed Major Bidwell nor did we
repadiate Popular Sovereignty. We simply
stated the fact that Major Bidwell voted for
the Douglas Platform in the Charleston Con.
vention, and that he gave his reasons for so
doing which reasons we published, together
with the resolutions of his own which he
would have liked to see adopted He voted
for the Douglas Platform, which was that of
non-interventiOn by Congress in the affairs of
Territory. We endorsed his vote. But,
we gave an abstract of his speech and copy
of his resolutions in order to set him right
before the people, and to let them know pre-
cisely where he stood If the Express can
find a solitary word in our article endorsing
Major Bidwell's resolutions, or asserting that
we agreed with Major Bidwell in his peculiar
notions or that we disagreed with him one
way or the other we should be pleased to
have that paper show it.
1t was sufficient for us that Major Bidwell
voted for non interv ention. What his rea.
sons were for SO doing we cared not SO that
he voted right. Those reasons we gave to
the public, as also the platform which he
would have preferred. Our article was main
ly directed against the assertion of f. A..
Smith, Zone of the California delegates, of
the Express and Standard schooD who said
that California chad repudiated the doctrine
Of popular sovereignty"
The Express seems to have no forte in ar.
gument, except that kind which Guilds cob.
houses and knocks them down again. De-
moishing structure of this kind, of it's own
making, it exclaims, ''See what wreck we
have made" 1t puts words into the mouths
of its opponents, which they never uttered,
and then triumphantly refutes what it as
sumes they have said This is all very easy
work, and so is ehild's play. We disdain it.
If we cannot meet man on his own ground,
we will not seek false glory, by represent
ing that we have overthrown him when we
have not. We will not assume that he has
said what he never said, and then answer
our own assumption. Such warfare is Iidicu.
lous. Every sensible man despises it, and it
imposes upon limited number only of yerv
shallow intellects.
