PIuTE HAIR Ou.-Our native Piute
citizens are much more given to vanity
In the appearance and arrangement of
their hair than one would naturally
suppose from theirgeneral appearance.
The aquaws have not yet got to putting
up their raven treSSeS into waterfalls,
chignons and all that sort of thing, i'll
Producing rats" mice" etc, into
the arrangement thereof, but they do
love dearly to have it look glossy and
moist, even If they do comb II with
their fingers. As to the bucks, there's
where the greatest degree of capillary
vanity crops ont. They just glory in
having their shaggy top-knot we'll
slushed down with fragrant oil of some
kind-it don't matter what. aS long as,
II smells good. They patronize drug
giSts in that way to considerable eX-
tent. DIR. Gates, up ut Virginia. tells
us that he thus sells u gallon or so Of
hair oil at his drug store every week.
The Piutes call there sometimes q
dozen In a lot, every one wanting two
bits worth of hair oil-two bits worth
lilo more and no less. \ little lard
oil with a few drops Of bergamot in 1t
makes q splendid anointmeut. And
they use it freely, too; renewing the
pleasant smell rs often a. possible.
CENSUS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ash,
Assistant Census Marshal, who COM
menced taking the census Of Gold Hill
yesterday, informs US that IL Of the
principal difficulties he has to contend
with in the discharge of his arduous
duty Is, the wrong understanding
prevalent with most people in
giving In their property valuation.
They generally seem under the I'M
preston that this valuation has some
thing to do with taxation, therefore
feel decidedly shy and careful about
what they say or record In that respect.
They are wrong. They should without
hesitation freely give what they may
consider or know to be the true and
actual value Of their possessions, Is
that Is the point desired to be ascer-
tanned In that respect by the census,
and has no reference to taxation at all,
and It Is a very grave. rs well as pun
ishable offense, for an Assistant Mar
shall to divulge information thus &c
auired In the discharge Of his duty.
Let every one bear fully In mind that
correctness Is the all important point
In the census. and the refore give the
Marshal all the assistance possible in
that respect.
