A Scene In the woman's War.

Among the many heart touching
incidents of the woman's temperance
movement reported in our daily pa
pers from scores of towns in Ohio, We
cut the following from recent letter
in the Gazette. respecting scene 10
HiIIsbcro Turning a corner on last
Saturday afternoon, l came unex-
pectedly upon some fifty women
kneeling on the pavement and stone
steps before this door. A daughter
ola former governor of Ohio was
leading in prayer. Surrounding her
were the mothers, wives and daugh-
ters of former congressman and leg
islators, of our lawyers, physicians,
ministers and leading men OF oil
kinds. Indeed there were gathered
there representatives from nearly ev-
cry household in the town. The day
was bitter cold. A piercing north
wind swept the streets, piercing as
all to the bone. The plaintive, ten
der, earnest tones of that pleading
wife and mother arose on the blast,
and were carried to every heart
within their reach. Passers by un-
covered their heads, for the place
wherein they trod was holy ground.
The eyes of hardened men filed
with tears, and many turned away,
saying they could not look on such
sight. Then the voice of prayer was
hushed. the women arose and began
to sing softly a sweet hymn-some
old familiar words and tune-such as
our mothers sang to Us in child
hoods days, We thought, can NOR
tai man resist such efforts? The eff
feet upon the spectators is indies crib
able. No sneer is heard-scar cely q
light word is spoken. The spirit OF
devotion is abroad, and those who
would scorn to pray themselves, yet
yet felt that here is something which
they must at least respect.

Hair as an Index to Temperament.

As long, says the author of the
"Hair Markets of Europe" as girls
will wear as much false hair as that
naturally belonging to them. it would
be pueriIe to attempt to read charac-
ter or disposition in the fashion and
character of the locks displayed 4; but
viewed naturally, the hair is as great
an index of temperament and dispo-
sition as the features Mr.. Greer, in
his volume on hair, for instance,
quotes the following indications Of
character founded upon the set and
texture of flowing locks from a book
recently published in Paris, entitled
Sec, cts of Beauty :" "Coarse black
hair and dark skin signify great pow
or of character, with tendency to
sensuality. Fine black hair and dark
skin indicate strength of character
along with purity and goodness.
Sliff, straight black hair and beard
indicate coarse, strong. rigid,
straightforward character. Fine dark
brown hair signifies the combination
of exquisite sensibiities with great
strength of character. Flat, cling
ing, straight hair q melancholy but
extremely constant character. Harsh,
upright hair is the sign of reticent
and sour spirit stubborn and harsh
character. Coarse red hair indicates
powerful animal passions, together
with corr esponding strength of
character. Auburn hair with ford
countenance denote, the highest or
der of sentiment and intensity of
ceiling, 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. Fine, silky, supple
barr is the mark of delicate and
sensitive temperament, and speaks in
{ vor of the mind and character.
White hair denotes Emphatic and
| indolent constitution and we may
add that besides all these qualities
there are chemical properties residing
10 the coloring matter which undoubt-
eddy have some eff;ct upon the dispo.
sition. Thus, red-haired people are
VIGOROUSLY passionate. Now red
hair is proved by analysis to contain
large amount Of sulphur, while very
black hair is colored with almost pure
carbon. The presence of these mat
tiers in the blood points 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 and inclinstionsl
and perhaps q clever person could
give shrewd guess at the manner
of man or woman's disposition by
only seeing the back of their heads.

What Constitutes q Gar Load
Prom the pubuous Herald.

1t will be of interest to our ship
pers and producers to know just what
constitutes o car load of the various
kinds of freight which are shipped
over railroads. A contemporary who
has been investigating the subject
says that in general 10000 pounds is
car load, Of 20 barrels of salt, 20 of
lime, 80 of -four, go of whiskey, 200
sacks of -four, cords of hard wood,
z of soft, Is to 20 head of cattle, 80
to so head of hogs, 80 to 100 head of
sheep, {, 900 feet of solid boards, IL,
900 feet of siding, 13. 900 feet ofioor-
ing, 10000 shingles, IL less hard
lumber, / 4 less green lumber, lilo
less of joists, soantling and all other
large lumber. $40 bushels of wheat,
800 of corn $50 of oats, 400 of barley,
$50 of fax seed. $50 of apples, 48O, of
Irish potatoes, $50 ofsweet potatoes,
1000 bushels of bran. The forego-
ing table may not be exactly correct,
for the reason that railroads do not
exactly agree in their rules and esti-
mates, but it approximates so closely
to the general average, that shippers
will find it q great convenience as q
matter of reference.

Facts VS.. Fiction.
From the Washington Republic. Mag.l

tfrom the washington Republic magJ
| In q recent issue of the Cincinna q
Commercial, q so.called independent
journal, the following statements,
among others, are made:
1st. The family of Postmaster Gen.
erdt CressioeN are accvsed Of driving
behind 81 700 span Of horses recently
purchased ,cith money taken from the
contingent fund Of the Post Office De-
partment.
The fact is. that the family of the
Postmaster General never used the
Department carriage and horses,
but do use their own private car
riage and horses, bought with the
money of and owned by Mr.. Cries.
we'll /; consequently the above state
ment is wholly untrue.
Cd. And not being a selfish man,
Mr. CresaoeN is credited ,oith providing
carriages for fve Of has chief Assis-
tdnts.
THE FACT.
But one carriage is kept by and at
the cost of the Post Office Depart
ment, which is used for official bust
ness by the Postmaster General and
all of his chief assistants as occasion
may require, 80 that this statement
of the Commercial is also untrue.
Sd. about too gears ago Postmas-
ter General CreS,DeU nllo,Ded the pur-
chase, out of the contingent fund. of
horse and Odgon to convey the mails of
Congressman bet,oeen the Capitol and
post office.
THE FACT.
No horse or wagon has ever been
purchased or used for such purpose
by the Post Office Department, nor
has the mail for Congressman ever
been carried between the post office
and the Capitol by the Post Office
Department., or any of its agents,
that work being done by the officers
of the respective houses of Congress;
thus the third statement of the Com
mercaal falls for want of even the
semblance of truth to stand upon.
4tb. Very soon 1t 1as found neces-
Sary to baya horse and buggy for the
man lVho deLive,S notices of the non
payment of postage.
THE FACT.
No person is or has been employ
ed to deliver such notices, conse-
ouently there was no such use for
horse and buggy, and none was pur-
chased for such purpose.
5tb. This ,0ns follo,oed by other
purchases of horses and carriages, and
finally stable pdS leased for the shell
ter Of this property and a man hired to
take care Of 1t.
THE FACT.
No other horses or carriages have
bean purchased by tho Department,
ment, and the only foundation for
the statement as to the stable is,
there is q small stable attached to
building occupied by portion OF
he clerks in the Department and the
Departm ent horses are kept therein
because it ischeaper than to hire
them boarded at livery stable.
The article IN the Cincinnati CON-
mercidl, from which the foregoing
extracts are taken, contains many
other statements equally devoid OF
truth but these are given as speci.
men bricks, and tor the purpose of
showing that the statements of the
Commercial! are unworthy of credit.

sR John James Flournsy, of Geor
gia; colored man, and undoubtedly
an intelligent one by his letter, Las
memoriallEed Congress for aid in some
shape, by money or the use Of gov
ernm, mt vessel, TO transport large num-
bers of colored people who are anx
ious to 60 to the rising Republic of
Liberia. He believes it advantageous
10 the colored race to be separated
from that of the Al glo Saxon. Tn
less they smalgamate one will be gu.
perior and the other inferior to the
end of time. Ama'gsmatlon, he holds
can never be made universal, and il
was question whether the result OF
such q step would benefit the condi-
ton of either, and he refers to the
Mexican and Spanish race as speci'
mems of amalgsmated races Africa
he claims, can be christisnlzed, but
only by the black race, as the climate
is such that white men cannot live
there. The subject is before the
Senate Committee on Commerce fol
consideration.

THE TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.
Gov. Alien interviewed on the subiect-Ht
Stated his Views.

Columbus to.) Correspondence Of the New Yor
Herald.
Your correspondent has had th'
pleasure of private interview witt
Gov. Allen, the Executive of the State
on tbs subject that is now so largely
agitating the public mind. His views
may be presented substantially as fol
lows:
GOV. ALLEN ON THE TEMPERANCE CRU
SADIE.
81 look upon the movement" re-
marked the Governor, "as only 10Th
er proof that the public mind is Sub.
ject TO the same oscillation that indi-
vidual minds are, and think that
this particular excitementis abnormal,
and. therefore, temporary.
"But is it not extending p
$50 il will extend and continue TO
extend until, after a while, it will
spend itself and a reaction set in.
The ladies are right in this. Their
influence is the only force which can
have any real and lasting influence
in checking the ruipous Tenderness OF
intoxlcation. l believe, and always
have believed, that the ladies alone
can accomplish this great object.
When men become mixed up with il
they are sure to have ulteriOr or self
ish purposes in view, and consequent
ly the movement will lose it's force.
The women are always moved by an
unmixed desire to accomplish good,
and that desire remains effective un-
Ill men, with their mixed and sordld
motives, interpose to take the lead.
All influence which seeks to correct
bad habits in man, such as excessive
drinking, must be moral Influences,
and in the exercise of these influences
the ladies will necessarily exert the
great power. All positive power of
government and law has in all times
and countries been proved by expert
ence insufficient to control men in
matters of habits and manners. In
these particulars the moral force OF
public opinion, is alone found to be
efficient There is no likelihood of
the Legislature taking any action on
the subject. Whisky drinking can
not be abolished by law. You may
pass all the laws you please on the
subject, and you will only sharpen
the invention of the fellows who sell.
The vote of the prohibitionists,
some 10, 900 in this State, might as
well have been thrown into q waste
basket
THIS THING OF PRAYING AROUND sA-
LOOMS
is being carried to excess. When an
epidemic comes alDng it very fire.
quently embraces tie finest persons
and the finest physical organ zations:
hence, the fact that the movement is
being carried ON by ladies of the first
responsibility should create no sur
prise. | believe the whole excite
ment TO be of an ephemeral character,
and that il will in short time sub
side"
The Governor spoke quite deliber-
ately, and his words, az he uttered
them, seemed as if be were presenting,
in his brief and terse style, special
message to the Legislature on the
subject.
