The Color OF THE HA1R.-The signif
canoe of the color of the hair is often peculiar
By those who claim to have studied the sub
ject, it is stated that the dark haired races
are physically the strongest, but less endowed
intellectually than the fuir-haired. The firs
are more inclined to manual labor and active
exercise, and the last to mental exertion
Black hair indicates strength, and predom-
nance of the bilious temperament, as in the
Spaniards, Mexcans. the Indian and the ne
gro. Red hair is sign of ardor, passion
intensity of feeling, and purity of character
and goes with the sangunine temperament
as in the Scotch, Irish, the Swede, and the
Dane. Auburn hair is found most frequent
ly in connection with the lymphatic tempera-
ment, and indicates delicacy and refinement
of tastes. and if the mind be cultivated, fine
moral and intellectual powers. 1t is COM
mon amongst the Germans and Anglo-Saxon
Dark brown hair is, perhaps, all things con
sidered, the most desirable color, as it com
bines the strength of the black with the ex-
quiste susceptibities of the light hair.

RoUaH ON GREELY We find the follow
ing in the Figaro of San Francisco.
Placer county rejoices in District Attor-
ney of more than ordinary intelligence. The
other day he stepped into the Office of the
Stars and Stripes, Auburn, for the purpose
of demonstrating with Mr.. Selkirk, the pro-
prieor, for his advocacy Of Horace Greeley.
''The man is fool, Mr.. Selkirk," said the
District Attorney; "it would be disgrace to
the United States to place him in such po-
siiion as that of President" Mr.. Selkirk
urged that "fool" could scarcely have
raised himself from the position Of printer S
devil to that of the leading journalist in the
United States, and asked the learned Attor-
ney his reason for imagining Mr.. Greeley to
be fool 'He is fool" urged the d..
A. (his stands for District Attorney, and
we don't mean anything else); "look at the
stuff he publishes in that book of his What
Know About Farming. >" Have you read
the book ?" asksd the editor of the Stars and
Stripes. "No," replied the ID. A. (Dis-
trict Attorney, but I've read extracts from
it. ! read one in which The ID old chow
der-head says fne-cut tobacco shouldn't be
picked till the tin-foil begins to drop off, and
lot more stuff; and say that man who
could write that and believe it isn't fit to be
President of these United States any way
YOU can fix it; and Mr.. Selkirk, I'm aston
shed at you supporting such a man just be-
cause he was printer once.
That the ID. A. actually believes that
Horace Greeley wrote all the newspaper
squibs about farming which have been found
ed on his excellent work, "What | Know
About Farming" and there are other d. as
who are not District Attorneys who believe
the same thing.
The editor of the Stripes must have fur
nished this information to the Figaro on his
last visit to see PiXley.

perpetually for new ideas. They will learn
with pleasure from the lips of parents what
they would deem drudgery to study in

CAPTAIN Judkins, for many years Com

And the cadences of that sweet can.abile,

A very destructive conhagratlon
visited the business portion Of Boston
on the 9th Inst. and continued to burn
more or less destructively until the
lltl Inst. The cause OF the fire has
not vet been stated. The boundaries
Of the confiagration are said to cover
an area OF nearly seventy acres, In the
very heart Of the business portion of
the city, consuming every building.
The number Of firms and business
houses burned out were $50, and the
number Of dwellings and lodging
houses were go. The loss is estimated
to be between $75.OOO,OOO and $9O.-
600, 600, and the insurance as high as
$50. 600. 900, Of which from $l5.0OO,-
600 to $40, 900, 900 are borne by British
Companies. OF course such a ire
mendous loss has seriously endangered
the business interests of the country,
and panic was expected In the stock
market. The excitement In the large
cities Of the East was quite intense.
OF Seven banks burned out only three
have failed. The Boston insurance
companies 1t Is thought viii be able
to pay an average Of fltty per cent
on their risks. The losses by this fire
are confined principally to property,
and the public Is thus spared the har-
