proportion as the hair is fine.
Very fine hair indicates an even dis
position, readiness to forgive, with. a
desire to add to the happiness of 9TH

Persons with fine light-brown or au-
burn hair, inclined to curl or friz, are
quick-tempered, and are given to resent

A Precious FArR OF 5 uorSDRkls.

Anderson confesses that Weber
threw out 700 Democratic majority in
his parish and returned 500 Republican
majority, and that between Webber
and himself threw out $500 Democrat
ic votes, which saved louisiana for
Hayes. When he heard that Webber
was murdered he thought it safest to
leave. The frauds Anderson confesses
were done in the interest of the Re
turning Board. Anderson says further
that Webber's protest, on which the
whole vote of West Feliciana was
thrown out by the Returning Board was
not justified by the facts, there being
disturbance only in one locality-which
had nothing to do with politics-and
that he (Anderson) signed his name to
blank sheet of paper, which was sub
sequently filed in with sweeping pro
test against the vote of East Feliciana
that this was fraud, tho election being
entirely peaceful in this parish; that be
had made up his mind to denounce the
fraud, when the visiting statesmen
came on the ground; and that Sherman
wrote letter to Webber and himself,
on the strength of which they went
through their part of the work. An
derson says that the letter promised
that they should be cared for if they
did their duty; that it can be proved
that Sherman understood the whole
situation as to these two parishes when
he gave the letter; that the letter was
to operate as bribe. 1t is alleged by
a well informed person that the original
letter from Sherman is in secure posi-
tion aud can probably be produced.

stNo. Thinking he misunderstood
her, the minister asked the question
again, and again she answered No
This stopped the ceremony, and the
story came out. The young man, adj

RIL..NGs PHILOSOPHY.

L never knew a second wife bat what
was boss of the situation.
. Whisky is hard thing to convince
therefore never quarrel with a drunken
man.
Maids marry 10 change their condi-
tion-widows to iSnprove it.
After a man gets to be So years old
he can't form habits much, the best he
can do is to steer clear Of his old ones.
Any man who can swap horses or
catch fish, and not lie about it, is just
as pious as men ever get to be in this
world.
An enthusiast is an individual who
believes about four times as much as
anybody else believes.
The dog that will follow anybody
isn't worth cuss.
Those people who are trying to get
to heaven on their creed will find out
at last that they didn't havo a through
ticket.
One quart of cheap whisky (the
cheaper the better) judiciously applied
will do more business for the devil than
the smartest deacon he has got.

WE city the following from the
Boston Herald as giving some idea
of the pork business for the present
season:
According 10 the estimates OF the
Cincinnati Gazette, there will be
packed in the West, during the year,
commencing Nov. /, 1875, 10,C00,0 600
hogs, which will aggregate Gales to the
amount of abOu. 500, 100000. This
will surpass the operations Of any for
mer year in that branch Of business
Hogs are now lower than at any time
during the past thirty years, selling al
from g 40 TO So per 100 pounds. 1T
seems that, in proportion as prices
have declined foreign demand has i'm
creased, and the amounts called for for
shipment are now simply enormous.
Foreign consumption has increased
every year since expectation was be-
gun, and it is thought the year now
entered upon will record larger sales
than all that have preceded. Never
theless, the business is said TO be not
paving.

A Dollar Worth Three Cents.

Some of the blessings of fiat
money are enjoyed by the people of
Buenos Ayres. There is a six
column paper called the Buenos
Ayres Herald, of which the sub
scription is put at the low rate of
thirty dollars a month, paper cur
rency, that is, about a dollar a
number. The clothing house of
Grand st. Martin advertises suits
of clothing for 500. Another
offers to sell children's suits at
prices ranging from $3.50 upwards,
and still another firm advertises
new line of choice cravats at
500 each. 1t seems, from the
market reports of this journal, that
a gold dollar at that time was
worth S31.95 in paper.-Roston
