Life Insurance.

The Union Central Life Insurance
Company OF Cincinnati, is one of the
most successful life insurance COM
panies in the country, of its age, and
among the leading ones of the West. Its
new business in Ohio, during last year,
exceeded that OF any four other COM
panies combined, which illustrates the
confidence reposed in the company by
those who best know the officers and
directors, who have proved themselves
to be men of rare business ability. The
Lite-rats Endowment plan is peculiar
feature OF the Union Central. The in
sured only pays the ordinary mutual
rates, and the insurance is paid at death,
or to the party insured in from fifteen to
twenty-five years, depending upon the
age when insured, rate OF mortality and
interest. We recommend this company
and its Life-rate Endowment Plan 10
our readers.

The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1877-04-06

The HAIR.-Dr. Benjamin Godfrey
has written a book on the Diseases of
the HAIR" in which he says that a
woman's hair may grow to the length
of six feet, aad that a young lady of
Massachusetts refused thousand dol
lars for her cranial covering, which was
only one inch short of this measure
ment. Four hundred hairs of ordinary
thickness would cover one inch of space.
The blonde belle has about one hundred
and forty thousand filaments to comb
and brush, while the red-haired damsel
has to be satisfied with lightweight
thousand; the brown-haired damsel
may have one hundred and nine thous-
and; the black-haired but one hundred
and two thousand. Few ladies consider
that they carry some forty or fifty miles
of hair on their head; the fair-haired
may have to dress seventy miles of
threads of gold every morning. A Ger
man experimentalist has proven that a
single hair will sustain four ounces
without breaking, stretching under the
process and contracting again. But the
hair thus heavily weighted must be
dark brown, for the blonde breaks under
two and half ounces.

dent with a thousand minor interests
and occupations. Shortly before one
o'clock all the visitors in waiting are
allowed interviews. First, those who
desire to shake hands only are ushered
into his office, and then those who de-
sire to supplement the ''shake" with
an office claim; the latter party largely
outnumber the former. Only moment
is given to each claimant in turn as the
immense number necessitates dispatch.
The office-seekers are somewhat dis
gusted and congregate in the hotel lob
bies of evenings to discuss the ruin Of
the country and the party, because
places are not made for them. They
concur in the belief that Mr.. Hayes,
like General Grant, will have to change
his tactics in order to oust the 'ins'
and thereby install the ''outs."
THE SENATE.
The refusal of the Senate to enter
upon the Louisiana matters until next
winter leaves that body without any,
thing to do but to act upon nomina-
tions, hence it has notified the President
of its desire to adjourn at the earliest
moment consistent with public inter-
ests. There is no reason to believe the
President will accede to the wishes of
Messrs. Lamar, Gordon, and other
Southern Senators by withdrawing the
troops from Louisiana and South Caro-
lima. They assure him no violence will
be resorted to, and that the people will
allow Packard and Chamberlain to
stand or fall on their own merits. 1t
seems merely a question of short time
when these two Governors retire from
their present positions, and the Senate
evidently prefers not to assume any re-
sponsibility for their retention or ret
Tracy. 1t is universally admitted by all
that the day is over in which bayonets
alone shall preserve any State govern
ment, and that change to any other
form is preferable.
GOSSIP.
Mrs. Hayes gave reception last Sat-
urday to the ladies, and the White
House was never more crowded. We
have here the chronic attender upon re-
ceptions, who seem actuated by some
insane desire to be in the midst of the
greatest jam and crowd. These were
out in full force on this occasion, and
some of them were noted going in with
the first rush, and then passing out,
would return with the second. The
East and Red Rooms were slowed so
full of packed humanity that it was i'm
possible to turn about, and no resource
was left the visitor but to allow himself
to be forced along 80 helplessly that he
was fortunate to save his clothing and
cOrns. The British and Brazilian min
listers gave dinners to General Grant.
Last night Senator Hoar gave dinner
at Womleys to number of prominent
gentlemen in honor of General Devens,
his law partner, but now the
General. Fred. Douglass
nomination as Marshal of the District
occasions intense disgust to the legal
fraternity, and also to some of his col
bred brethren. Neither like his color.
He is seVen-eights white-too dark for
he white man and too white for the
,olored. All eoneede he has the requis-
tie amount of brains. But as he is
neither fish nor flesh, his confirmation
8 matter of doubt to-day. But why
should not the son Of a Maryland Sena-
.or hold such honorable position?
FELIX.
