How to Judge Character BY the Hair.

From the secrets OF bcAuty.l
Coarse black hair and dark skin sig
nifty great power Of character, with ten.
dency 10 sensuality. Fine hair and dark
skin indicates strength Of character,
along with purity and goodness. Stiff,
straight black hair aud beard Indicate a
coarse, strong, rigid, straightforward
character Fine dark brown hair sgni-
fes the combination of exquisite sensi-
bllities, with great strength Of character.
Flat, clinging, straight hair, melan'
choly, but extremely constant character.
Harsh, upright hair ia the sign of a reii-
cent and sour spirit; a Stubborn aud
harsh character. Coarse red hair and
whiskers indicate powerful animal pas.
sions, together with corresponding
strength ofcharacter Auburn hair, with
horid couptenance, denotes the highest
order Of sentiment and intensity Of feel
ing, 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 affections, clear
head and superior talents. i.1
Fine, silky, supple hair is the mark Of
delicate and sensitive temperament,
and speaks in favor of the mind and
character Of the owner. Crisp, curly
hair indicates hasty, somewhat impet-
uous and rash character. White hair
denotes a lymphatic and indolent con-
stitution; and we may add that besides
these qualities there are chemical prop
critics residing in the coloring matter Of
the hair-tube which undoubtedly have
some effect upon the disposition. Thus,
red haired people are notoriously pas
sionate. Now, red hair is proved by
analysis to contain large amount Of
sulphur, while very black is colored
with almost pure carbon. The presence
of these matters in the blood points to
peculiarities of temperament and feeling
which are almost universally associated
with them. The very way in which the
hair flows is strongly indicative of the
ruling passions aud inclinations, and
perhaps clever person could give a
shrewd guess at the manner of man or
woman's disposition by only seeing the
backs Of their heads.

EedernI soIdiers and the PeopIe

Within the past few days we have had
opportunities Of conversing with gentle
men from Franklin, Columbia, Shelbyville,
Springfield, Murfreesboro and other places
in Middle and West Tennessee, where
Federal soldiers are at present stationed,
and from all such points it is gratifying to
hear that the relations between the citizens
and soldiers are Of the most friendly char
acter. 10 their department Stewards the
soldiers the people are kind ara respectful,
and this disposition on their part is fully
and cordially reciProcated by the Boys in
Blue" An intelligent and observant gen.
teman from Lincoln county, with whom
we met yesterday, says that the
people in his section are on the
most amiable terms with The soldiers
at present on duty there, and he has yet TO
hear Of the first harsh word or unkind
thought expressed by any white man, wo-
man or child towards the soldier, nor has
he heard of a single instance Of improper
conduct on the part Of the latter towards
the people. He tells us that it seems As
though the people and the soldiers sta
toned there had determined there should
be no difficulty among them, and that all
are seemingly Jealous in the cultivation of
kindly and neighbOrly feelings towards
each other. Several of the officers and
men have lately expressed their astOnish-
ment at being sent into section of coun-
try whose people are so Peaceable and law
abiding as to render the presence Of the
military wholly unnecessary.

Mere RurgIaries

Ga Saturday night last boarding house
on Cherry street, South Nashville, was e n
tered by burglars, and a considerable
amount of clothing carried of. One of the
boarders found, upon rising Sunday morn
ing, his new suit gone, and in its stead a
diIapidated coat and pair of pants. Swap.
ping clothes was never successfully fol-
lowed by the bOarder, and in this case he
was not even consulted about the change.
On Sunday morning, about four O'Clock,
a private residence on Cherry street, near
the Postofiice, was also entered, and money
and valuables amounting to between forty
and fifty dollars stolen. The buglar was
discovered just as he was about TO retire,
but too late to give the alarm. He entered
by window from the back porch, using a
sharp chisel in cutting out a slat in the
window shutter, which enabled him TO
false the bolt. He was also provided with
other tools, and made his entrance TO a
room in the house by unscrewing the catch
on the door.
We believe there have been one or more
robberies every night for three weeks, and
the only arrest made was the negro who
bad a stove on his back. If the article
had not been 20 heavy, he, too, might have
escaped notice.

AN AUTUMN DAY.-Yesterday forenoon

was apparent, when the sun made his APP
pearance, and gilded the tops of the many
forest trees which are yet thick Throughout

there is beauty also in an Autumn day.
How rich the colors that glow on the sum-
mits of the woodland boughs, green, brown,
and yellow, in all their varieties. Here a
dark patch of rich green, coloring those
trees whose foliage will last through the
winter. there an olive tinge, or one that
is fast fading; now crimson bough, and
again dark grey looking mass, which
seems as if it stood there TO show to adVan-
tage the gayer color of its neighborF. We
found one of the store-keepers in little BOs.
ton, who in the absence OF customers was
philosophing as above. Hi smoney drawer
was empty, but he seemed to be contented
with the prospect of better day tc
come"
On 'CHANGE.-Only one bale of cotton
has made its appearance in Edgefeld thil
season, and that was not purchased because
the spectators had failed to receive re-
turns from the Paschall House drawing
