From the Secrets Of Beauty we obtain
some information about the human
hair, which il entirely reliable, may at
least prove interesting to persons who
are not entirely bald. Coarse black
hair and dark skin, we are told signify
great power Of character, with a ten
dency to sensuality. Fine hair and
dark skin indicate strength of charac.
ter, along with purity and goodness.
Stiff, straight black hair and beard indi-
cate a coarse, strong, rigid, straight
forward character. Fine dark brown
hair signifies the combination OF ex.
quisite sensibilities, with great strength
Of character. Flat, clinging straight
hair, q melancholy, but extremely, o
slant character. Coarse red hair and
whiskers indicate powerful animal pas
sions, together with corresponding
strength of character. Auburn hair,
with forid countenancc, denotes the
highest order of sentiment and intensl-
ty of feeling, purity Of character, with
the highest capacity for enjoyment or
suffering. Straight, even, smooth and
glossy hair denotes strength, harmony
and evenness of character. hearty at.
fectiOns, a clear head and superior tai
ents, Fine, silky supple hair is the mark
of a delicate and sensitive tempera'
mcnt, and speaks in favor of the mind
and character of the owner. Crisp,
curly hair indicates q hasty, somewhat
impetuous and rash character. White
hair denotes y Emphatic and indolcnt
constitution and we may add that be-
sides these qualities there are chemical
properties residing in the coloring mat
ter of the air-tube which undoubtedly
have some effect upon the disposition.
Thus red haired people are notorious
ly passionate. Now red hair is proved
by analysis to contain Il large amount
of sulphur, while very black is colored
with almost pure carbon, The pres
ence of these matters in the blood
points to peculiarities of temperament
and feeling which are almost universal
ly associated with them. The very
way in which the hair flows is indica-
tive of the ruling passion and inclina-
tons, and perhaps Il clever person
could give u shrewd guess at the man
ner of a man or woman's disposition
by only seeing the back Of their
heads.

suit, involving some new questions Of
general interest.
Mrs. Rebecca Polk has sued Messrs'
Hilliard, Summers & Co. for nearly
800, 900, and POUNDS her claim upon
the following state Of facts: For ma-
ny years before the war, she was the
owner Of q plantation and slaves in
Mississippi, which were managed by
her husband. Messrs. billiard, Sum.
mers & Co. were his commission mer-
chants. and sold the cotton raised on
this plantation, paying the proceeds to
her husband, the late Andrew J.. Polk,
who is now dead. She has now brought
suit for the money thus paid over to
him, upon the ground, that her husband
had no right to receive it. This suit
is one of more than ordinary impor.
lance, because, before the war, large
interests of married women were nan
aged in the same way in many parts Of
the South and if it shall turn out that
commission merchants are liable under
such circumstances, suits of like char
actcr, may become quite common.
Mrs. Polk claims that the merchants
paid over the proceeds of this cotton
to her husband, knowing the money be-
longedt to her. This, however, they de-
ny.

Extra Congressional Election.

Gov. Brownlow has issued o procla-
nation appointing the 7th of May, on
which to hold an election for a member
of Congress from the State at large, to
serve during the remainder OF the For
tieth Congress. The whole State is to
participate in this election, and the
Registrars in the several counties arc di
rected to open the polls in all the pre-
cincts for the purpose. Heretofore,
says the .Shelbyville True Union, the
white soldiers and white bummers have
monopolized almost all the Offices of
honor and profit. and now there is a
good opportunity presented for the
radicals to demonstrate their devotion
to negro equality, social and political,
by electins a colored mar to Congress.
In this case it would be peculiarly ap-
Ipropriate, since it would express the
radical sentiment throughout the State,
and thus exclude all quibbling about
focal influences. 1t is also the best
opening that will be soon presented
@gain for the negroes themselves. They
pow have the undoubted power to elect
