WHAT CAUSES GRAY HAIRs.-Gray
hair sometimes comes prematurely by
inheritance, troubles or the large use of
water containing lime. The sudden
blanching of head of hair is frequently
caused by severe nervous shocks, and
numerous historical and traditional cases
may be cited in which sudden fear or
overwhelming news has turned the hair
white in few hours. The case of Marie
Antoinette, is one of the most tender and
touching, for in single night her rich
dark hair was changed to silver gray.
A sepoy of the Bengal arl,y was taken
prisoner in 1858, and the fright be re-
ceived caused his hair to become COM
pletely whitened within half an hour,
the change being so rapid as to cause his
captors to exclaim, in astonishment:
"He is turning grayr' Under the inhu:
enr of great fear or any great mental
shock the blood recedes from the surface
If the body to the heart, and it is sup.
posed the same influence may cause the
coloring fluid of the hair to retire to the
root bulbs where it remains thereafter.
Gray hair has been known to become
dark without the chemists aid. In 1774,
Nazarela, a man 105 years old, was pre-
seuted by nature with a new set of teeth,
and the restoration of the black hair of
bis youth. John Weeks was blessed with
regeneration of the color Of bis hair q
short time before his death, which oc-
CURED at the age of III; and Sir S. Sin.
clair, dying at ITO, rejoiced in q youthful
head of hair during the latter years OF
his life. DR.. Richards has reported the
case of man who had three changes OF
his hair from black to white during his
life, the first taking place when he was
about IS years old.

Vermont, according to the census
returns, is almost at stand-still in pop
ulation, having gained in ten years less
than $500 inhabitants. There appears
also to be movement Of the native
population out of the State, their places
being taken by foreign born, che number
of the latter increasing more than 5000,
while the increase in total population
was only about a third as much. The
sexes remain in about the same relative
proportion as ten years ago.
- The New York Herald commends
the intention Of the Republican candi-
dates to contest all five of the South Car
olina seats in the next House of Repre-
sentatives, and says: "The South Caro-.
lima solid whites may as we'll understand
that they cannot count on Northern
Democrats to defend or support them in
claiming Congressional seats SO tainted
with fraud"
"A Boston correspondent of the New
York Herald claims that in consequence
of its deadly climate the Republic of
Liberia is failure, and charges that the
facts about this and the hostility of the
natives to immigrants have been kept
from the knowledge Of those intending
to settle there.

With friends of his own faith who
choose to talk on religious subjects he

Although Gen. Garfield is an attendant
and principal supporter Of the Disciple
Church in Mentor, he is not enrolled as
a member of this church. With charac-

local membership in the church at
Hiram. President Hinsdale, of Hiram
College, often spends Sunday at Gen.
Garfeld's and attends church with him.
The invariable refusal of both on such
occasions to deliver any sort Of public
address is matter of deep regret to the
pastor and people of Mentor.

A Courting In the Olden Days.

Thirty years ago Michigan people were
frank and truthful set. Strangers
could come here and trade horses with
their eyes closed, and breach of promise
cases were unknown. Folksmeant what
they said. and when they gave their
word stuck to it.
Exactly thirty years ago this month 8
widower from New York State appeared
in Lansing on business. That same
business carried him over to Dewitt,
eight miles away. While on his way he
stopped at log farmhouse to warm his
cold fingers. He was warmly welcomed
by the pioneer and his wife, both OF
whom we're well along in years, and
after some general talk the woman
queried:
"Am l right in thinking you are q
widower?"
"Yes."
"Dld you come out here to find q
wife7"
"Part!y."
did anybody tell you of our Susie ?"
"No."
"Well, we've got as bouncing girl OF
twenty-five as you ever set you eyes on.
She's good looking, healthy and good
tempered, and I think she'll like your
looks"
"Where is sbe?"
"Oyer in the woods there, chopping
down coon tree. Shall | blow the horn
for ber?"
"No. If you'll keep On eye on my
horse I'll find her"
"Well, there's nothing stuck up or
affected about Susie. She'll say yes or
no as soon as she looks you over If
you want her don't be afraid 10 say So"
The stranger heard the sound of her
axe and followed it. He found her
ust as the tree was ready to fall. She
was stout, good looking girl, swinging
the axe like man, and in two minutes
he had decided to say
"Susie, I am widower from New
York State. I am thirty nine years old,
have one child, own good farm, and I
want wife. Will you 60 back with
me?"
She leaned on the axe and looked at
him for half q minute, and then replied
"Can't say for certain. Just wait till
I get these coons off my mind"
She sent the tree crashing to the earth
and with his help killed FIVE coons which
were slowed away in q hollow.
"Well, what do you say?" he asked,
as the last coon stopped kicking.
'I'm your'n," was the reply; "and by
have these pelts off and tackled up and
be ready for the preacher"
He returned to the house, told the old
folks that be should bring back apreach-
er with him, and at dusk that even
ing the twain were married. Hardly an
hour had been wasted in courting,
and yet he took home one of the best
girls in the State of Michigan.-Detrolt

DENoM1NAT1oNAL OXEN IN Texas
Texas, says the True Witness, is great
State. It has not only large, growing,
mixed population-every variety of eli
mate and soil, game and stock-but its
very oxen become UNCONVENTIONAL, it not
sectarian, in name character and spirit.
In proof OF this, we give the following
incident, although rather hard on the
Methodists:
A stranger travelling along the road
met a stranger driving q wagon, which
was pulled by four oxen. AS he ap'
preached, he heard the driver say:
"Get up, Presbyterian Gee, Camp.
bellite! Haw Baptist What are you
doing Methodist~
The traveller, struck with the sigularity
of such names being given to oxen re.
marked:
STRANGER, you have strange names for
your oxen, and wish to know why they
had such names given them."
The driver replied: 81 call that lead
i.ox in front Presbyterian, because be is
true blue and never fails--he believes in
puuIuS tutoueu CtSty N'IASN.S pow,
persevering to the end, and then he knows
more than all the rest. The one by his
side / call Campbellite; be does very
well when you let him 90 his own way,
until he sees water, land then all the
world can't keep him.out-ofit, and there
he stands Us if his journey was ended.
This of OK, bshfdd, IS q areal Baptist, for
he is all the time afterswater, and will
not eat with the others, but is continually
looking first on one side: and then the
other, and at everything that comes near
him. The other, which l call Methodist
makes great to do, and you would think
that he was pulling all creation but he
don't pull-a a pound"
The traveller, having his curiosity
grati6ed with the explanation, rode on
wondering what he should next hear in
Texas. This is no dream, but real fact
as we have heard it; nor are we inau'
enced by the dyspeptic feeling in telling
our readers the ecclesiastical relation 0!
