Something About the Hair.

How many hairs on your headi The
number varies with different persons the
average is stated on good authority to be
294 hairs to every quarter Of square
inch from this each can calculate some
where near the sum Of his own. Flaxcn
hairs are finest, brown and red next, and
black the coarsest. A space containing
l47 black would be occupied by 1852
brown or lS0 Aaxen hairs. Each hair
springs from a root EMBEDDED in the skin.
The outside is composed Of thorny scales
overlapping each other like shingles on a
roof, though not with the same rsgulari-
ty, and these scales form tube enclosing
a marrowy pith. The hair Of different
races Of men varies in structure as well
as in color; thus that of the negro may
be Jelted, that is, formed into a solid com.
pact mass like cloth. This property is
owning to the prominence Of the scales
composing it. Straight hair is nearly
round, curly hair is more aatteued, the
most SO in the negro, whose hairs are
nearly hat ribbons.
The different colors depend on minute
particles Of coloring matter within the
hair; age, sickness, mental exercise, or
sudden fright may destroy the coloring
matter and cause the hair to turn gray.
In animals having "whiskers,' as the
cat, tiger, rat, etc., the hairs are supplied
with nerves, which render them very del.
icate "feelers," by which they are aided
in stealing on their prey. In passing
through narrow spaces, these give notice
if the opening be not large enough to
admit the animals body.
In some forms of disease the human
hair becomes extremely sensitive at the
roots, and liable to bleed. Frequent cut.
ting causes it to grow coarser, but mol
more thickly, and those who desire to re-
tain soft silky beard should not shave al
all. Oils, pomades, and such preparations
clog the pores of the scalp and prevent
the herlthy growth Of the hair; washing
the scalp with water and thoroughly dry
ing with towel, will keep it in excellen
condition. Human hair is an importani
article of trade, tons Of it being sold sv.
cry year. In large districts Of Europe
the peasant girls are shorn of their lock,
annually, receiving from two to twenty
dollars each for the crop. Most Of thil
is used by those who cannot grow enough

A word to Our County Coven-
lion.

Our County and District Conventions
will assemble in the course of the coming
month for the purpose, among other
things of nominating candidates for the
Senate and House Of Representatives Of
our State Legislature. We desire espc
cially to URGE upon these Conventions the
necessity of taking high and manly
ground on the subject of negro suffrage.
AS we have said, this is question which
must be decided. 1t cannot be shirked,
it cannot be lodged, it cannot be post.
poned. 1t demands solution, and it will
give us no rest until It is solved. Belisv-
ing this, We have not hesitatsd to express
our regret at the failure of The States
Convention to take action on the subject.
But it will do no good to grumble. Let
those who feel that the States Conven-
tion has not done enough, supplement its
action in the County and District Con.
ventions.
1t may be said that local Conventions
have no business with and no influence
upon, national affairs. Even ifthis were
true, their is topic upon which these
local Conventions can exert controlling
influence, aud with which they must
grapple. 1t is the proposed amendment
to the States Constitution, striking the
word "white" from the clause which
regulates suffrage. Whether we have or
have not power to interfere with the
frauchis in Mississippi, we have the right
to regulate tin Ohio. Whatever doubt
are felt in regard to the admission of
Southern freedmen to the ballot-box,
we have yet to meet the fair aud candid
man who is opposed to granting the sutf.
rage to the colored citizens Of Ohio, and
especially 10 these who have borne arms
in our defence. This is live question,
and we hope twill be discussed in evory
county Union Convention, Let Guy
ahoga county declare itself .unequivo-
cally upon this sbject, and nominate a
Senator and Representative pledged to
support in the Legislature q proposition
to amend the Constitution in the manner
suggested. Lot Lorain, Medina, Portage,
Summit, Trumbun, Ashtablua, Lake,
Geauga, Huron, Erie, Lucas, Seneca,
aud every other county in the States do
the same thing. Let US make our canvass
on this issue. Measure our timid friend

A Happy woman.

What spectacle more pleasing does the
world afford than a'woman contented in
her sphere, ready at all times to benefit
her little world by her exertions, and
transforming the briars and thorns Of life
into fragrant roses by the magic of her
touchl There are those who are thus hap
py because they cannot help it-no mis-
fortunes danpen thier sweet smileG and
they diffuse a cheerful glow around
them as they pursue the even tenor of
thier way. They have the secret of con.
tentment, whose value is above the
philosophers stone; for without seeking
in the baser exchange of gold which may
be some sort of pleasure, they convert
everything they touch into joy. What
their condition is it makes no difference.
They may be rich or poor, high or low,
admired or forsaken by the tickle world;
the sparkling fountain Of happiness bub.

radiantIy beautiful. Though they live
in o log cabin, they make it shine in a
luster which kings and queens may covet
and they make wealth fountain Of bles-

ity and we cannot say how much we owe
to them for the progress Of the race
Would there were enough to go around!

The Interview Between Presi.
dent Johnson and Senator
Sumner.

A friend at Washington assures us
that few weeks since an interview took
place between President johnson and
Senator Sumner, which was substantially
as follows: ftmW
h"Good evening, Mr. President" said
Senator Sumner, last week, upon entering
the Presidents room in the White House.
"Good evening, Mr.. Senator" replied
the President. "Please be seated for a
moment, until finish a letter to IN old
friend"
The letter being finished, the President
turned to Mr.. Sumner, when the latter
said
"Mr. President, I have called upon
you for the purpose of expressing to you
the views of our people on the subject OF
reconstruction"
DWELL, sir" replied the President.
Mr.. Sumner commenced by saying
"Sir, your North Carolina Proclamation
does not meet the appreciation Of the peo-
Pile, and they will not submit to have the
great results Of the war thus thrown
away"
"What people are you representing,
sir ?" asked Mr.. johnson.
"The whole Northern people," said
Mr.. Sumner.
II apprehend you will find you but rep
resent small portion Of the Northern
people," replied Mr.. johnson.
"Then," said Sumner, eve must take
your North Carolina Proclamation as an
indication of your policy, are we ?"

"Then, sir, said Sumner, "you do mol
intend to enfranchise the black man ?'
III have nothing to do with the sub.
ject; that exclusively belongs to the
States. You certainly would think it ar
usurpation on my part if I attempted tt
interfere in fixing the qualifications o.
electors in Massachusetts,
"But," replied Sumner, "NIassachu
setts has always been loyal State"
"That may be-" replied the President
"but the loyal men Of the South have
made untold sacrifices for their Unior
sentiments, while Massachusetts has mad
hundreds of millions out ofsher loyalty
and it would be poor return for South
crn adherence to the Government, if th,
latter should, in violation to the Consti
tuition, thrust upon them local laws in op
position to their wishes"
At this reply of the President, Mr.
Sumner became impatient and irritable
and rejoincd by saying, I am sorry t.
see you eyinCing SO little sympathy will
that element that placed you in power"
At this, the color flashed to the Presi
dents face, and he added, emphatically
"You and might as well understand
each other now as any other time. Yo'
are aware; sir, l have no respect for a Sc
cessionist but, as much as 1 despis
them, / still have a greater detestatiol
and contempt for fanatic.'

"LittIe Dan, Brook"

A clergyman, seeing little boy play
ing in small stream by tho roadside.
inquired for his father.
"He's over to the little dam brook, . ex
claimed the lad.
"What!' said the reverend gentleman,
shocked at the boys profanity. "Can't
you speak without swearing"
swell, he is over to the little dam
brock, anyhow persisted the boy, as he
went pattering through the water and
mud after butterfly. Hes been over
to the little dam brook all day, aud If
you dent believe it you can go up to that
house and ask mother"
The clergyman sought an interview
with the mother Immediately, and COM
planned of the profanity of her child
After telling her, however, what the lad
had said, sho laughingly informed him
that "little dam brook" was the title
by which the stream was called to
distinguish it from "big dam brook" /"
situated few miles further to the east
ward.
He now felt that he had wronged the
boy and therefore owed him an apology.
Hurting back to the spot he exclaimed:
"Boy, wronged you in accusing you
of swearing; but you should have told
that "little dam brook" was only the
name of a stream, and l then would not
have scolded y0u.'
"Well, faint no natter" said the hap
py youngster, as he held aloft a strug.
Cling frog that he had speared with bis
mothers clothes stick. "There's a big
dam brook, and little dam on little dam
brook, and We would have had little

small, it ant worth a dam"
