soon as the leaves are put forth in the

the incision had been made more open.
The sap therefore is allowed to remain

become entirely destroyed, leaving but

proved Feb. "a, 1864, that the Secretary OF

Of o colored volunteer soldier; and whereas
under section I'd Of the act Of Congress Of

tions for the civil expenses of the Govern.
ment for the fiscal year ending the 30th Of
July, 1867, SO much Of the Communication
fund as was necessary was appropriated for
that purpose; and whereas Congress, at It's
present session, has passed joint resolution
prohibiting the payment Of any portion Of
said money until the further action Of Con.
gress and thereby delaying payment to the
loyal owners Of said slaves SO enlisted in the
army Of the United States; therefore be it
RESOLVED. By the General Assembly of
Maryland, That the payment OF botinties to
slaves, as provided for by the act of the Leg.
slature Of Maryland, passed on the 9th Of
February, 1864, chap. 10, sec. 3, be suspend

The bill submitted yesterday regulating
the time for holding elections for Mayor and

tion on the first Wednesday in February

LADIES who wear chignons will be glad to
know that it is not true that the hair for
chignons is procured from the corpses Of
people who die in hospitals and other public
Institutions. When death ensues the hair
becomes brittle and cannot be curled and
twistod into form. Consequently these ex-
ira capillary attractions must be taken from
living scalps. Marseilles is the great entrepot
for the trade in human hair, more than forty
thousand pounds weight Of this commodity
being imported there annually, chiefly from
Italy, and more particularly from Sicily, Ma
pies, and the States Of the Church, while a
moderate quantity comes from Sp ain and
certain departments Of France.
The French provinces which yield the
largest supply are Brittany and Auvergne,
and buyers go round on market days, when
the young demoiselle who wishes to dispose
Of her locks mounts a wine cask, and, un-
loosening her head dress, showers down her
hair. An active bidding follows. As the
weight Of hair in an ordinary chignon does
not exceed three ounces and half the an.
nual quantity imported into Marseilles alone
would be sufficient for upwards Of one hun
dred and eighty thousand headdresses.
