There is something in the uncommon
tenacity with which smallpox retains its
hold upon the inhabitants OF Paris that pro-
yokes serious reflection in the minds OF
medical scientists. The entire population
of the French capital have, it would seem,
been vaccinated and revaccinated, yet the
scourge does not abate, let alone disappear.
This brings to the surface the career of
smallpox in New Orleans. There, not
withstanding vaccination has been almost
totally ignored, the deaths never rose above
thirty, If so high, and smallpox is now nigh
gone. No doubt we shall have fresh and
fercer than ever controversy uron the SUBJ
ject Of yaccination.-Ne,o York Express.
Coal On AS A HAIR REsToRER.-We had
heard 1t stated several times that MIR.
Samuel Bryant, who heretofore had been
barefaced on the top Of his head, had, by
the use Of coal oil, grown thick coating
OF hair on the aforesaid bald head. We saw
MFR. Bryan on Monday last, and upon ex-
animation found the statement to be cor
rect. Mr.. Bryan informed us that the way
he found out this new property Of coal oil
was simply this: He had large boil on the
haid place on his head, which gave him
alse he rubbed coal oil on it. He says 1t
relieved the pain almost instantly, so he
Continued 90 rub on the oil until the boil
was entirely well, when, to bis surprise, he
found q thin coating OF hair coming out
over the bald place. He continued the use
OF the oil for month or two, and now has
o heavy coat Of hair on his head. This Is
no hnmbug, but the simple truth, and we
advise our bald-headcd friends to try the
experiment. Carrolton (Asss.) Coaserpa-

B1SGHAM's BILL.-The New York Times
comments in moderate terms Of censurc
upon Mr.. BINGuAM's extraordinary bill,
which we denounced on Monday. As to
the first section, imposing certain duty
upon the Governor of each State, the Times
says it is questionable " whether it could
have any binding force upon the Govern
ors. Questionable" indeed. Why, it has
no more binding force than has the procla'
nation of the three tailors of Tooley street.
or one of GEORGE FRANCIS TRAINS pronun
ciamentos. Mr.. BINGHAM, knowing such tc
be the fact, attached no penalty to the fail
ure to perform the "duty" thus imposed
"The other provisions Of the bill are les:
excusable," says the Times. "The third
section is still worse. The points embraced
in the question that is, whether State
has the right to withdraw its ratification OF
constitutional amendmcnt-"a purely
judicial" says the Times, and Mr.. BlNG'
HAMS proposition to dispose Of them by an
act of Congress "is startling and unwise."
Considering that the Times is a Republi-
can journal, and published north Of MASON
and DIxoN's line, it is entitled to much
credit for the article in question.
