HAIR OF THE PRESIDENTS.
An Interesting Collection in the
Patent Office at Washington.


In the Patent Office at Washing.
ton there are many objects of inter.
est connected with the Government
and those who administered its af-
fairs in times gone by. While ex-
aiming some of those objects of curl
osity nothing struck us so forcibly
as the samples of small locks OF hair,
taken from the heads of different
Chief Magistrates. from Washington
down to President Pierce, secure in
a frame covered with glass. Here
is, in fact, part and parcel of what
once constituted the living bodies
of those illustrious individuals whose
names are as familiar as household
words, but who now live only in his
tory and the remembrance of the
past.
The hair of Washington is nearly
a pure white. fine and smooth in its
appearance.
That of John Adams is nearly the
same in color, though perhaps lit
tie coarser.
The hair of Jefferson is or differ
ent character, being a mixture of
white and auburn. a sandy brown,
aud rather coarse. In his youth Mr.,
Jefferson's hair was remarkable for
its bright color.
The hair of Madison is coarse and !
mixed white and dark.
The hair of Monroe is a handsome |
dark auburn, smooth and free from
any mixture. He is the only Presi-
Gent, excepting Pierce. whose hair
has undergone no change in color.
The hair of John Quincy Adams
is somewhat peculiar. being coarse
and yelIowish.gray in color.
The hair of Gen. Jackson is al
most perfect white, but coarse in
its character, as might be supposed
by those who have examined the
portraits Of the old hero.
The hair Of Van Buren, is white
and smooth in appearance.
The hair of Gen. Harrison is fine
white, with slight admixture of
black.
The hair of John Tyler is mix.
ture of white and brown.
The hair of James K. Polk is al
most a pure white.
The hair of Gen. Taylor is white,
with slight admixture ofbrown.
The hair of Millard Fillmore is,
on the other hand. brown, with a
slight admixture of white.
The hair Of Franklin Pierce is
dark brown of which he had q plen-
tiful crop.
1t is somewhat remarkable. how.
ever, that since Pierce's time no one
has thought of preserving the hair
of his successors. There are va.
cancies in the case; but there is no
hair either of Buchanan, Lincoln.
johnson, or Grant, for the inspection
of futurity.

OUTSIDE SHOW.

Bright pearls lie deep meath the salt sea waves.
Rich gems are hidden in the darkest caves.
And the wealth untold of virgin gold
The eyes of man win never behold
Yet look on the wild waves shining crest
The seaweed floats in its dark green nest,
And the debris light, with the foam so white,
Mere worthless things, first meet the sight
The violet hides in the lonesome dell.
The nightingale singeth long and wen.
While the worlds asleep in slumber deep,
And the other birds their vigils keep;
Yet the sparrow, lacking numbers sweet,
VIII chirp and scold at your very feet;
And the meanest flower that woos the whoever
Wears gold-bright robes fer the summer hour.
And thus we never can seem to tell
What manner of meat lies in the shell,
Or whether the tree wiz bearer be
Till the nut is cracked or the fruit we see
And thus it is with friends and foes,
For the secret heart heaven only knows,
And the friends who stay with us to-day,
Tomorrow, as foes, may go their way
And thus ii is with all outside show.
The false from the real who may know7
The sorry and sad, from the gay and glad,
Or the angel fair from the demon mad 2

laALIVING WONDER.
A Child with a Broken Neck Eats,
Sleeps and Talks.
Wythevine Enterprise.

Tn the town of Marion there is
perhaps the only living specimen OF
person with a broken neck. The
wonderful subject of this sketch is a
little boy, the son of Southern pa
rents who are visitors to the town
mentioned. Several years since by
accident, the particulars Of which
we have not been able to obtain. the
chiId's neck was broken aud the
genius of a surgeon was called into
requisition to supply some means
by which the little fellow could live
in his unfortunate condition. Iron
or steel bars were arranged, running
up the spine aud claspiDg on either
side of the face, thus holding the
head in its Wonted position, and thus
lives on the little boy, now ten or
Twelve years of age. Sometime
since the frame work used to sustain
the position Of the head was broken
and the head fell TO one side, cut
ting off the power of speech. The
mother took the little one in her lap
and held its head in a natural posi-
ton until the clasp was mended,
when all went well as previously.
We had never imagined such q thing
as a person living with a broken
neck and presume there never was,
at least in this country, and instance
such as the one just related. We
get our information direct from Ma.
'ion and can vouch for the veracity
Of our informant, to whom such par
.iculars as we have related were
given.

The Winter of tha Hear.

Let it never come upon you. Live
so that good angels may protect you
from this terrible evil-the winter of
the heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze up
the foundation of sympathy and hap
piness from its depths; no cold bur.
den settle over the withered hopes,
like snow on the fading flowers no
rude blast of discomfort moan and
shrek through its desolate cham.

Your life-path may lead you amid
thorns which for a time seem utterly
to impede your progress. and shut
out the very light of heaven from
your gaze.
Penury may take the place OF
ease and plenty; your luxurious
home may be changed for a single,
lowly room-the soft couch for a
straw pallet, the luxurious fare for
coarse food of the poor. your friends
may forsake you, and the Implying
world pass you with scarcely word
of compassion.
You may be forced to toll wearily
and sadly on to obtain a livelihood
You may encounter fraud aud base
avarice which would extort the last
farthing, till you we'll nigh turn in
disgust from your fellow beings.
Death may sever the dearest ties
that bind you to the earth, and leave
you in fearful darkness. The noble,
manly boy, the sole hope Of your de.
clining years, may be taken from
you, while your spirit clings to him,
with that wild tenacity, which even
the shadows of the tomb cannot
wholly subdue.
But amid all these sorrows, do not
come to the conclusion that nobody
was ever SO deeply afflicted as you
are, and abandon every sweet anti
cipation Of "better days" in the un-
known future.
Do not loose your faith in human
excellence because your confidence
has been betrayed, nor believe that
friendship is only a delusion, aud

Do not think you are fated to be

calls your dear ones to the land be-

Keep q holy trust in heaven

Senator Conkling's position is thus
stated by a Narragansett correspon-
dent of the New York Times. He
says:
"Senator Conkling's presence at Can
onchet has not been accounted for, and
he is known to have waited at Newport
until it was certain the Ex-Governor was
absent. Then he went to Canonchet.
He was received at the landing by Mrs.
Sprague, and how he installed himself
at Canonchet is testified to by the Ger
man teacher, by the children, and by
the servants. Ex-GoY. Sprague has
shown by his actions how he viewed
this intrusion. The opponents of Sena-
tor COnkling do not charge him with
criminality, but with ungentlemanly
conduct, impudence, and cowardice.
Ex-Gov. Sprague does not consider the
affair ended. He thinks himself out
ragged by the Senator and demands salts
faction. 1t is freely stated among re-
sponsible people that Senator Conkling
has compromised Mrs. Sprague's honor
not criminally, but socially, and
that he ought to restore her good name
and fame. A statement is therefore ex-
pected from Senator Conkling, and it is
hoped that he will restore to Mrs.
Sprague what he has taken from her
her domestic peace and her good name
as wife who may have been wronged
by her husband, but who has remained
faithful to her VOWS.
The S., 900 lately given by the ex-
Governor to Mrs. Sprague, Mr.. Sprague
says, was not in cash, but in papers
which he transferred, and on which
Mrs. Sprague realized that amount" F"

ABOUT THE LAND FoRGERs.

was told that some very grave
charges have been made against
some prominent citizens of Austin
as being connected with the great
land forgeries. A committee ap-
pointed by the last Legislature was
then in session, but none could tell
what they were doing. Among the
many who were sent to the peniten-
tiary two years ago on account of the
land forgeries, the learned profession
of law and medicine were represent
ed. 1t was whispered very cautious
ly that the committee might look into
the issuance of a patent, by the
present land commissioner, which
was refused by mis- predecessor.
This patent grants salt lakes, and
will add very much to the large es-
tate of the patentee. don't think
the people have much faith in the
committee.

On returning and when near the cabin,
which is used as a resting place, he
Ioosened himself from the rope uniting
him to his companions. He had hardly
done so when he made false step, lost
his footing and glided rapidly down the
steep ice slope, making frantic efforts to
stop himself by grasping at projecting
rocks. The next moment he disappear

glacier opposite Riffel, between Hoernli

body now lies, completely stripped of

PARsoN VEAL.

AS l passed through Ellis county
there was very great excitement, oc
casioned by the trial of Parson Veal,
for alleged attempts of impropriety
towards a very estimahle lady-a
member of his church. The Parsons
counsel tried to change the venue,
but failed. Then they attempted to
prove choreG on the part Of the lady.
This last plea is, 1 am told, a second
cousin to the plea of insanity. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty.
and it is not thought that the church
will raise his salary, as was done in
the case of Beecher- Some one told
me that Veal is a native of Knox

THE SUNNY SIDE.
When 1 was last in Tennessee
several persons remarked that the
writer's from Texas always gave the
sunny side view of the great Lone
Star State. But this is not so, The
half has not beeu told. The sun
goes to rest later in the evening
and gets up earlier in the morning
than it does in any other State of
the Union. Although it rests for
SO short time, it is ready in the
morning for real hard days work.
To get good sunny-eide view of
Texas, a man should travel from
johnson county to Waco, and in
getting out of his buggy he must be
very careful not to touch the tire on
the wheel. as it feels very much as
if the blacksmith had put in the tire
without taking time to cool its Some
of the corn fields looked as if a
lighted match wou Id set the whole
field in a blaze. Persons designing
moving to Texas this season should
first find out how they are to get
supplies for stock through the win
ter. The sunny-side of Texas is
not very agreeable to one who has
to travel in July or August. All !
such, who hail from East Tennessee, |
will often wish for the shady side of
the old oak that stands over the
cool pebbled spring.

GENERAL RESUME.

GENERAL RESUME. ...
The details Of yesterdays elections will be
found below, and they will not be found en-
tirely entertaining to large number Of our
fellow citizens. The split in New York has
resulted in eleoting Cornell governor by
10000 plurality, while the Democracy pro-
badly elect their State ticket, except governor,
by a handsome majority.
Pennsylvania is Joined to the Camerons
and the Republican party by O,OoO major
'tS.
Wisconsin delights in party named
Smith for Governor by $4,000 majority.
This is not as bad as if the majority had
been fifty or hundred thousand. !
Mississippi, Maryland and Virginia are
supposed to be Democratic. In times like
these We do not like to be very positive in
snoh assertions.
Minnesota is, by comparison with other
Northern States, bright spot, as she elect
ed Republican Governor by largely re-
duced majority. Returns are too scattering
and indefinite to form basis for calculation,
but we should guess. that Pillsbury g majority
will range between five and ten Thousand.
Gilman being the "bad man. on the ticket
will have larger majority in the State than
Pilisbury, but We always calculate by tho
head of the ticket when it makes the most
in our favor. In Ramsey county Rice has
1850 majority, and in Hennepin PilIsbury
has $3.50. In day or two we shall be on
abled to give more definite figures, but as
the Democrats are in no particular hurry
about the returns the Republicans can afford
to wait.
