SEVERE SToRM-On Thursday evening
last a heavy storm of rain and wind. accom-
panied by some hail, occurred in this section.
In certain portions of Steel Creek and Prov
idence neighborhoods, the hail was quite
heavy and did considerable damage to the
growing cotton and wheat. A great deal of
wheat was blown down, if not injured by the
hail.
The severest part of the hail storm in
Steel Creek covered about half mile in
breadth, extending towards Morrow's Turn
out. The wheat and cotton on the planta-
tions of j. S. Nicely, H. A Query, Sam'l. B.
Knox, Dr. l. J. Sloan and John McCraney
was badly cut up-the loss of Mr.. Query in
wheat is estimated at 800 bushels Others
suffered, but we have not learned their
names. Cotton can be replanted, but the
injured wheat is a total loss.-Char. Demo-

THE HAIR, AND CARE OF IT.-God COW
cred the skull with hair. Some people shave
it off. Mischievous practice. 1t exposes the
brain. God covered a part of mans face
with hair. Some people shave it off, Mis-
chievous practice. Itexposes the throat and
lungs-the eyes likewise, say wise physiolo-
gists. Men become bald. Why2 Because
they wear close hats and caps. Women are
never bald except by disease They do not
wear close hats and caps. Men never lose
hair below where the hat touches the head,
not if they have been bald twenty years.
The close cap holds the heat and perspira-
ton; thereby the hair glands become weak;
the hair falls out. What will restore it q
Nothing, after the scalp becomes shiny
But if in process of falling out, or recently
lost, the following is best: Wash the
head freely with cold water once or
twice a day. Wear a thoroughly
ventilated hat This is the best means to
arrest the loss and restore what is suscept-
IDLE of restoration. What will beautify
woman's hair? Whatever will invigorate
the hair glands. Oils and most other ap-
plications debllitate the hair glands. Cold
water is best At first the head looks like
witch, but offer few weeks it makes the
hair luxuriant. By the persistent use of
cold water l have seen thin, poor hair be-
come rich and curly. Only the part of the
hair next to the scalp should be wet. It
must be thoroughly dried.-Dio Leacis, M D.

JURORS AND VoTING IN TEXAs.-BreVet
Major General Griffin, commanding the MILL
tary district of Texas, on the 27th ult. pub
lished an order stating that his attention
had been directed to the fact that persons
disqualified by law are drawn to serve as
jurors in the civil courts of the State, and
directs that hereafter No persons shall be
held eligible to serve, Or be sworn in as a
juryman, until he shall have taken the test
oath prescribed by the supplementary Re
construction act. To prevent the exclusion
of loyal citizens from the jury box, on &C
count of race or color, the General rcpubllshes
section two of the Civil Rights bill, which
prescrbes the penalty for depriving any cltl-
zen of his rights ON account of his having
been a slave.
On the 1st instant General Griffin issued
the following CIRCULAR
| The attention of all persons is invited to
the fact that full and perfect liberty must be
afforded to the newly enfranchised class OF
citizens, and all laborers to present them
selves before Boards Of Registration, when
the same shall have been appointed and the
registration of voters commenced. No adj
vantages must be taken of the working OF
the labor contract or any State law to refuse
either the colored Or white voter the time
necessary to secure registration. Neither
shall any voter be prevented, inundated, or
persuaded, from exercising his right OF
suffrage agreeably with the laws OF the
United States. Any such interference shall
constitute a mis(lemeanOr, and the offender
shall be subject to arrest and trial before a
military commission.

1t is stated that the Attorney Generals
construction of the DISTINGUISHING clause of
the reconstruction act will not be completed
for several days.
The report that John G. Breckenridge had

JoIN THE LEAGUES.

There are quite a number of Union
men who hold back when invited to join
the Union Leagues, for fear that they
may be helping to. grind the axes OF
some "new Corners" Now, if the old
citizens do not wish to have the pew
corners rule the Republican party in this
State, they have just one course to pur-
sue-take hold and rule it themselves.
The leading men of both races are rap
idly joining the Union Leagues, and 1t
is certain that those who belong to them
will control the Republican party dur
ing the next year or two. At present
three fourths of their members are old
citizens, and if any one. had a right to
complain, it would be the newcomers. u
Every day we are hearing that this, that
and the other one are Union men, until
it is evident that large proportion OF
the best business men in town sympa-
thize with the Republican party. What
is wanted is for them to acquire conf
dence, and that can only be gained by
their getting acquainted with each other
When our youngest League organized,
we were quite amused at the manner in
which two gentleman eyed each other,
when it TRANSFERRED that they were old
friends, but had been stunning each
other for five years-each supposing the
other to be secesh.
1t is against the rule for any member
to reveal the names of other members,
but each one has the privilege of pro-
claiming himself one, and as we hear of
some who have been trying to find a
man to propose them, we give notice
that we are ready to receive the name
of any applicant and present it to the
League. Any one wishing to communi-
cate with the editor by letter on the
subject can do SO, but in such case is
requested to give the names of such
Union men as he may be acquainted
with.
Now is the time to determine wheth
er the party which has brought such
distress upon the South shall continue
to rule it, or whether it would not be
best to try the party which has ruled
the North so successfully. The ques
ton is not whether "new corners or old
residents shall rule" but whether the
business men of the country are so in
love with ruin as to be willing to COLI
tinue in power the men whose influence
upon the country has been SO baleful.-

BYRON; HIS CURLs, AND HIS SHOOTING
When Byron was at Cambridge. he was in
troduced to Scope Davis by their mutual
friend, Matthews, who was afterwards
drowned in The river Cam. After Matthew's
death, Davis became Byron's particular
friend and was admitted to his rooms at all
hours. Upon one occasion he found the poet
in bed with his hair en- papillote, upon which
Scrope cried, "Ha, ha! Byron, 1 have at
last caught you acting the part of the Sleep
ing Beauty" Byron, in a rage, exclaimed,
No, Scrope, the part of id fool, you
should have said."-" Well, then, anything
you please; but you have succeeded admir-
ably in deceiving your friends, for it was my
conviction that your hair curled naturally"
Yes, naturally, every night" returned the
poet; 'but do not, my dear Scrope, let the
cat out of the bag, for am as vain of my
curls as girl of sixteen" When in London,
Byron used to go to Manton's shooting gal
lery, in Davis street, to try his hand, as he
said, at wafer. Wedderburn Webster was
present when the poet, intensely delighted
with his own skill, boosted to Joe Manton
that he considered himself the best shot in
London. "No, my lord," replied Manton,
mot the best; but your shooting to-day
was respectable;" upon which Byron waxed
wroth, and left the shop in violent pas
sion.-GrOnoao's "reminiscences.

A SAD SToRY-A few days since we an
nounced the accidental death of an aban-
doned woman in Louisville, named Kate
Carrigan. She was strangled to death by
falling from a fence upon which ii portion of
her wearing apparel had caught The
wretched woman was in a state of intoxica-
ton at this time. A Nashville paper recalls
scrap or two of the history of this poor
female, which reads sad lesson: She was
the only daughter of wealthy parents, a Vir-
ginian by birth, and at the age of fourteen
was left tatherless. Two years later she was
seduced by some fend in human shape, and
few weeks after, in a fit of remorse, which
could not have been far from actual insanity,
abandoned luxurious home and plunged
into the widest vortex of dissipation. She
wandered from city to city, sinking lower
and lower, and about a year after the close
of the war came to Nashville. From this
point her broken-hearted mother heard the
first news of her erring daughter, and sent
an uncle to bring home the lost child. He
was unsuccessful, is all that we know. The
poor girl afterwards went to Louisville, and
the end we have already seen. A bit of
charnal house clay, in a rough pine coffin,
above which is heaped the rude earth of a
pauper's grave, is all that remains to tell of
the career of this once pure and lovely wo-
man, Ill this dark, cruel world.

| 1t is humiliating fact that the people of
the South suffering, as they are, under the
arbitrary enactments of their irresponsible
Military Governors, dare not lift hand or
voice i'll remonstrance or appeal.-JVA Jour-
nal, May 10.
We give the following from the Journal
of May 18th, as specimen of the manner in
which it "dares" to speak of the govern
ment. 1t is pity the Journal is so Cypress
ed it can not speak its mind. But if it keeps
on as it commenced on the 10th it will make
itself heard after while. Speaking of a
local matter in its issue of the 10th. it said :.
The Old Market House is being made the
recipient of new coat of paint, of a black
and sombre cast. 1t certainly was dingy
enough before, but now that its darkness
has been converted into the blackness of
night, it will loom up in Ethiopian grandeur,
casting its dark shadows over the principal
streets of our city. We know not what in
duced the authorities to choose this particu-
lar shade of paint for the pile. except per-
haps they thought it in keeping with the
gloominess of the times and the darkened
face of our future. That, indeed, is dark
enough, rendered so By the spirit and prompt
ings Of the 6lackened hearts of our oppressors,
i,aeI'acea6ly stamped aoith the hezziM dye Of
Satan, aohere he rules supreme.

Relief for the Suffering Poor.

A week or two since Mr.. Gage, of Boston,
passed through this City on his way further
south, and while here he kindly inquired:
into the condition of our suffering poor. He
was charged by a Committee in that City,
raised for the purpose of aiding destitute
persons in the South, to make this inquiry :;
and before he left he designated Gen. Mel
son A Miles, Col R. w. Puliam and w. w.
Holden to receive and dispense such amounts
as might be placed in their hands. These
gentlemen have just been informed by Will
liam Gray, Esq, Chairman of the Boston
Committee, to whom Mr.. Gage reported
that their draft will be honorcd for hand
some sum, to be applied as we have stated
The gentlemen designated by Mr.. Gage
have held meeting and appointe d Gen.
Miles their chairman. 1t is their purpose to
take such steps as in their judgment will be
best calculated to dispense this gift SO as to
do the most good to those who are suffering
in our State. So far as food is concerned,
Gen. Miles, who is at the head of the Freed
mans Bureau in this State, will furnish that
in every proper case that may be brought to
his attention. While the government will
not encourage idleness Or vice, it is its wish
to relieve promptly all who are actually sui
fering for food But there are many
cases among the desolate, the aged,
and the infrm, in which other
aid besides common food is necessary.
Medicines, clothing and light food for the
sick and feeble, are required. Such cases
will be relieved as far as practicable. Bos-
ton has acted noble part in this matter
Her people who are subscribing their means
to relieve the destitute in our midst, are
actuated solely by love for their Southern
brethren and desire to do good. They
will do more hereafter, if necessary. Their
wish to aid us is not confined to classes or
colors. 1t knows nothing of antecedents or
politics. 1t only asks, is this American
brother or sister suffering and languishing
for that of which we have so much Prov
idence has blessed them, and they stretch
out their Christian hands to relieve those of
their Southern brethren who are sorely
distressed and afflicted. We could not ask
them to do more.
Gen Miles, who is as kind-hearted as he
is brave will omit nothing which he can
properly do in his position as chief of the
Bureau, to give effect to this noble charity
We trust that after the wheat crop, which
is very promising, shall have been gathered,
the suffering for food in our State will be
greatly diminished, and that by this time
next year we shall have but few If any cases
absolutely requiring charity from our North
ern brethren.

900 serfs in Russia; the liberation of 4,0OO,-
900 slaves in the United States, and the

Brazil. 1t is a glorious six years work -
80 ,OOO,0 900 men restored to freedom, and a

in the world! The little that remains to do
cannot long rest undone. The miserable
relic of barbarism fingers now only on few

LEMAIRE'S BRAIN.
PARIS, March IS. 1867


You have heard the story of Lemaire, the
young Frenchman who murdered the girl
that he feared his father was going to marry
and who, far from expressing any rcmorse
for his crime after he was condemned to
death, on the contrary, seemed to regard
himself simply as an anomaly of nature, and
expressed in his last words the desire to have
his brain examined, because he thought
something curious would be found there
After the execution of the murderer, the
Paris savans assembled for the purpose of
doing curious thing here lately seeking the
physical causes of crime, comparing the Wis
cera of honest and wicked men looking in
to and dissecting dead hearts, and the ply
sicians oloated over so rare case as that OF
Lemaire.
The tables of dissection have never been
supplied by subject who held his g,troid
more persistently to the last. 1t was in the
Ecole de Medicine that the examination
took place. The cerebral mass, which was
unusually well developed, and showed ex-
traordinary intelligence, was defornied b.
large protuherances in that section where
science has located the sanguinary instincts !;
and after the examination, the eminent doc
tors gave it as their opinion that the vice of
murder had been transmitted to Lemaire /;
that it was fatally transmisible, like diseases
of the skin and blood, and that, had LIE
MARIE lived to have grandchildren, they
would inevitably have been brutal and i'm.
pulsive in nature, and would doubtless have
been guilty of shocking crimes. If, then
disease and arrangements of the soul are
transmissible like diseases of the blood, il
is time we all began to be virtuous, that the
generations who come after US may not &C
totally astray. The bust of the murderer
has been exposed to the public and is at
tracing universal attention.-Cor. Detroit

VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT TO RAIEIeH.-
1t is reported that President johnson will
visit Raleigh soon, to be present at the cree
ton OF the monument to his father, Jacob
johnson. We understand the President has
been invited by our City authorities. We
shall probably know by our next issue
whether he accepts the invitation. There
will be no political significance in the visit,
as it will be to his native City with the pious
wish to honor the memory of his father.

The Richmond correspondent of the Wash
ington Chronicle says:
Horace Greeley and Augustus Schell, of
sureties for jeff. Davis in case he is admit
ted to bail, arrived here this morning. They
are stopping at the Exchange Hotel, where
are also counsel for Davis. Greeley is evil
IDENTIFY ashamed not only of the company he
| is in. but of his business here, for he refused
to have his name appear on the register OF
the hotel, and also to see several gentlemen
who called upon him. He is doing all he
can to secure Davis release upon bail. Davis
has been holding general levee at his rooms
| all day. Thousands of his friends and adj
mirers called upon him and congratulated
him upon his release from Fortress Monroe.
His guard consists of one artilleryman, who
is General Burton's orderly. This individual
spends his time upon the street, and has not
been near the prisoners rooms since his arri-
val. The manner in which those who have
Davis in charge have acted in bringing him
| here and since his arrival has made his entry
into Richmond something like the return OF
Napoleon from Elba, and it is so regarded by
| his friends. He is no more a prisoner than
are any of the guests at the hotel. The
whole affair has assumed melodramatic
aspect, with Davis as star actor He will
be produced in court tomorrow at II
o'clock, in response to the writ of Aabeas cor
pus, and dismissed from custody. He will
then be Immediately arrested on bench
warrant, which has already been made out,
on the charge of treason against the United
States. His counsel will then offer bail for
him, and some argument may take place as
! to whether treason is bailable offence
This will consume time. Possibly it may be
continued for a day or two. Judge Under
wood is clearly of opinion that Davis can
| not be released On bail, and this will be the
position of the counsel for the Government
An attempt is being made by the police,
nearly all of whom are eX-rebel soldiers to get
up riot with the colored people. No col
lision has occurred as yet, with the exception
of one or two slight disturbances, which the
rebels have magnihed into riots, and in all
of which the rebels have been the agrees
ors. The negroes are orderly disposed,
but they will not brook any attempt to
trample upon Or abrldge their rights as citi
zcns. In anticipation of an outbreak Cen
eral Schotield has stationed an additional
regiment of troops in one of the public
squares, so as to be within easy call. The
presence of Davis, and the princely manner
in which lie has been received and treated
by the United States authorities, has no
doubt given fresh inspiration and courage
to the rebel malcontents, and they seek to
make demonstration upon the negroes.
