knew not fear. On the contrary, like his Master
before Plate, or Paul before Agrippa, he stood
before that proud assembly not only fearless,
tranquil, but, either forgetful of or disregarding
the circumstance under which he stood accused,
and with hallowed radiance illuminating his
expressive and dignifed physiognomy, COM
menced most eloquent and learned address on
the nature and doctrine of the Christian religion.
How he succeeded on the occasion-succeededi in
converting the kings household, including the
queen and her daughters, Esthnee and Fedolinc,
and how, during the span of his own life. he con-
vcrted that proud nation to the faith of Christ,
are matters too well known for me to dwell on
here but there occurred single incident on the
occasion which, perhaps, is not generally known,
and which | cannot pass unnoticed, namely, the
tre:oil which he brought to his aid while ex-
planning the nature of the triune godhead. This
trefoil-three leaves from one steIn-became. in
memory of this event, the national badge of Ire
land. 1t has been unto this day, and very likely
will be unto the remotest times, worn by the

A REMARKABLE SpoRY.-During the year
1864, when the hostile forces were struggling for
the supremacy in and around Winchester, Mr.
-- went to Maj. Parsons, United States pro-
vost marshal, and applied for safeguard Gen.
Fesscnden was called on to fill the demand.
which he did by detailing for this duty Mr.
John -, OF the I'd New York cavalry, to
whom he issued imperative orders to remain un.
til ho was relieved by proper authority. W.
stood manfully by his post. The tide of battle
surged about him, but his was q charmed life,
for he had that authority which saved him from
molestation by the "rebs." The war closed, but
with it came no order to the sentinel, and faith
full TO the trust confded to him. he is still at his
post OF duty! The case has been reported to tho
proper authorities and Mr.. w. will doubtless
soon be excused from further safeguard duty.
That he will DO able to draw full pay up to the
present time has, we loarn, boon conceded by
eompstent!military authority.

How to Judge Character by the
Hair.

Coarse black hair and dark skin signify great
power of character. with tendency to sensual
ity. Fine hair and dark skin indicate strength
OF character, along with purity and goodness
Stiff straight black hair and beard indicate n
coarse. strong rigid, straight forward character.
Fling dark brown hair signifies the combination
Of exquisite sensibilities, with great strength of
character. Flat, clinging, straight hair a mel
ancholy, but extreme constant character. Harsh,
upright hair is the sign of reticent and sour
spirit; stubborn and harsh character. Coarse
red hair and whiskers indicate powerful animal
passions, together with corresponding strength
of character, Auburn hair with horid counte-
nance, denote the highest order Of sentiment and
intensity OF feeling, purity of character. with
the highest capacity for enjoyment or suffering.
Straight, even, smooth and glossy hair denote
strength, harmony, and evenness OF character,
hearty affections, clear head, and superior tai
cnts
Fine, silky, supple hair is the mark OF deli
cate and sensitive temperament, and speaks in
| favor of the mind and character of the owner.
Crisp, curly hair indicates a hasty, somewhat
| impetuoas and rash character. White HAIR de-
notes a Emphatic and indolent constitution
and we may add that besides these qualities
there are chemical properties residing in the col
oring matter of tke hairtube which undoubtedly
have some effect upon the disposition. Thus,
red haired people are VIGOROUSLY passionate.
Now, red hair is proved by analysis to contain a
large amount of sulphur, while very black is
coored with almost pure carbon. The presence
of these matters in the blood points to peculari-
ties of temperament and feeling which are al
| most universally associated with them. The
very way in which the hair flows is strongly in
dicative of the ruling passions and inclnatiOns,
and perhaps clever person could give shrewd
guess at the manner of a man or womans dispO-
siton by only seeing the backs of their heads.

Radical scoundreIlsI,a.

\ z
In the Missouri contested election case
of Switzlef VS.. Anderson, the Committee
reported in favor Of Switzler, it having
been demonstrated that his legal majority
was one thousand one hundred and t,oenty-
taoo Uotest
Notwithstanding the report Of the
Committee. the House, to retain the Jac-
obin, Anderson, to the next session, re-
committed the report BY q vote Of SO to
46, for the purpose, or upon the pretext
that Switzler's "loyalty" was not sound.
There is not an inteliigentman of any
party in Missouri who. does Dot know
that Col. Switzler, from the opening to
the close of the war, was prominent
active, and outspoken Union man, much
of the time in the civil and military SER
vice of the Government, and for some
eighteen months provost marshal Of his
Congressional District, By appointment Of
President Lincoln himself.
But he is a Democrat, a Conservative;
and is, of course, "disloyal," according
to the Radical standard. This cowardly
outrage upon the people Of his district,
for whose rights he has SO ably and fear
lessly and increasingly battled against
formidable odds in Congress, will endear
him more closely to the people of Mis-
souri,, and secure his election to the next
Congress, by a majority which even the
Jacobins will respect.

DESCRIPTION, are as follows:

1t will be observed that in the District
|of Columbia the limited portion of the
annual expenses above enumerated, aside
from the expenses enumeraled at the Bu-
|reau headquarters in Washington, amount
to $53, GAO, an amount exceeding the an
nual expenses Of the whole State Depart
ment of the Government. Nay, more
the whole negro population of the Dis
trict is probably not moro than 0,000,
nearly all Of whom are Independent Of
tho Bureau and take care of themselves.
Yet the civil expenses of the Bureau in
this small District exceed those in either
Of the large States of Alabama, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, and are nearly equal
to those in Mississippi.
Taxpayers, that is but triae Of the
Negro debt saddled upon you by the
Radical party. The total yearly cost Of
the Bureau is s21, 100000!
What is it all for? you ask. It is to
enfranchise Negroes and give them and
their fellow arpet-baggers from the
North the control of ten Southern States
It is to disfranchise 25O,OOO White mon,
and drive them from the ballot-box with
Grants bayonets.

"Rebei and a Traiforp,

The Morgan County Herald copies the
third, fourth and fifth resolutions of the
National Democratic Platform, and COM
ments thusly:
"Voterl if you want to swindle those
who lent their money to save the Repub-
lie from overthrow by armed Rebellion,
vote the Democratic ticketl But, if you
so vote, don't pretend that you are not
in heart and sympathy arebol and trai-
tor, for you are!'
The third provides for the payment of
the public debt as rapidly as practicable.
All moneys drawn from the people by
taxation to be honestly applied to such
payment, and that the obligations of the
Government ought to be paid in green
backs, where the law does not provide
that they shall be paid in coin.
The fourth provides for equal taxation
of every species Of property, according to
its zeal value, including the gold bonds
held by tho Radicals.
The fifth provides one currency for the
Government, the people, the laborer, the
office holder, the ponsioner, the soldier,
the producer, and the BONDHOLDER!
Mr.. Herald, the people understand the
principles Of your sinking party correct
lily, viz: Taxation without Representation;
payment of the Bonds in gold; exemption
of the rich Bondholders from taxation;
gold for the Bondholders and greenbacks
for the Farmers and Mechanics; payment
of the public debt in gold drawn from
the laboring poor men Of the country;
and taxation Of the poor to make the
poor poorer and the rich richer.
The poor, oppressed Taxpayers are de-
serting your Aristocratic party by thou
sands and tens of thousands and joining
the party that is friendly to their inter
tests.
