The Hair of Prominent Men,

In this feature, writes the New York
correspondent of the Rochester Demo-
crat, N. P. Willis and Horace Greeley
were entirely dissimilar. Willis had long
and bcHuttfu4 riaslets, of which he Was
very proud, while, as is well known,
Greeley became bald early in life, the
base of the head being merely fringed
with gold. We may note that many of
our best writer's or public men were in a
similar condition. Washington Irving
wore a wig half his lifetime. William
Lloyd Garrison was well known for his
smooth pate. Wendell Phillips has only
a few scattered silver locks. Ralph Wal
do Emmerson keeps his head cropped
closely. Such, also, was the practice of
the late Charles Summer. 1t may be
urged against long haired men that not
only Willis (who was a rake) was thus
adorned, but also that the magnates OF
the Brooklyn scandal, (Beecher and Til
tom are also of the long-haired class.
Theodore Parker, on the other hand, was
bald and so was John Quincy Adams.
The late Chief Justice Chase was much
in the same condition. Speaking OF
fashion, it may be said that the ancient
Greeks wore their hair long, while the
Egyptians cut it off, and wore light wigs.
In France, at one time, short hair was
the style, and in the reign of Louis Qua
torze it was worn of prodigious length,
and was done up in a lofty manner The
hair fashion Of New York, at present, de-
serves more space than car just now be
afforded, Notwithstanding the Importance

A Remedy for Diphtheria.

A lady living in Williamsburg has
sent the following remedy for diphtheria
to the Brooklyn Board of Health, adding
that she had used it with success with
her six children: stake a slice of fat
bacon-side meat-the older the better;
sew it on a soft piece of flannel; then
~saturate it with coal (petroleum) oil.
Place it on the neck, having the meat
reach from ear to ear. After pounding
several raw onions into a poultice place
enough of the same into the patients
stockings to cover the soles of the feet,
and have the patient put the stockings
on. The poultice must be warm in order
not to chill the patient. The throat
should then be gargled with some toma-
to catsup; strong with red pepper, salt,
and vinegar shaken we'll together will do.
If the patient is too young to gargle wet
the throat with a few drops. If vomit-
ing occurs, lime water purchased at a
drug store with directions should be
given. Be sure to cause irritation on
the neck"

Wouldn't Pay Duty.

Marie Vanzandt relates this droll Incl
dent, which happened while returning
from Germany to France: "Ranning
the gauntlet at the custom-house, I had
in my arm two enormous bouquets pro-
scented to me by some American friend,
and composed of our national colors,
which, you know, are the same as the
French, and do you believe those old
custom-house officers insisted on my
paying duty! For they hate the French,
you see, and meant to take revenge on
my poor flowers, which bore the hated
hues; but this stirred my American
blood, and, mildly but firmly, I refused
theft extortionate demand, and declared
I could not, should not, would not give
them up. The argument was getting
quite serious, when, thinking that an ex-
PLANTATION of how 1 came by them might
be soothing, and having exhausted my
German, I tossed my head back and
gave them a little trill, then initiated ap-
plause, and threw the bouquets up and
caught them again. The gruf old fell
lows grunted and smiled, and motioned
for me to pass on. The idea had pene-
trated."

How Grant Learned to Smoke.

General Grant has explained how he
became attached to a cigar. When at
West Point he tried to join other cadets
in smoking, but the experiment did not
agree with him and he did not form the
habit, mol did he begin to smoke much
until he began fighting the battle of the
war. Engaging in all the early contests,
he found a cigar of some service in re-
lieving the mental strain upon him, and
when a battle was in progress he often
had q cigar in his mouth, but still he
was not an inverterate smoker. On other
occasions he probably did not smoke SO
much as most men of modern indulgence.
To his surprise he found the newspapers
making q point of his smoking, and
very soon boxes of excellent cigars began
to arrive at his headquarters from all
parts of the country. There were SO
many that all officers attached to his i'm
mediate service were supplied, and with
such a supply he assisted in sampling
until, as the campaign went on, he en-
ioyed his cigar on all occasions and has
since smoked as much as the best of
men. He thinks the newspapers in
auenced him a good deal on the tobacco

1t was agreed that the speeches in the Com
mittee of the Whole, on the pending amend
ment to the Funding Bill, should be limited to
thirty minutes.
The amendment (Mr. Wood's) to fix the rate
OF interest at 8 per cent. on both bonds and
notes was agreed to.

that there was not a Westernman who dared to
say that a solitary Westean national bank could

could furnish letters from the Presidents OF

bonds.
The funding bill was discussed in the Com
mittee of the Whole, the pending amendment
being that of Mr.. Randall, authorizing the is
sue of bonds in an amount not exceeding $780,
900, 900, which shall bear interest at the rate of
8 per cent. redeemable after blank years. To
this another amendment was offered by MIR.
Townshend fixing the amount of bonds at
$400, 000, 900, and of notes $500, 900. 900. Then
Mr.. Randall modified his amendment so as to
authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to is
sue bonds or certificates in amount not exceed
ing 1850, 000,0 900 at 8 per cent. redeemable at
the pleasure of the Government after two
years. Mr.. Mills offered to amend this by
making the bonds and certificates redeemable
in one year and payable in two. After a long
discussion the committee rose without further
action.
A number of private bills were considered.
Mr.. Springer took occasion to emphasize the
necessity of creating a court for the hearing OF
all private claims.
Mr.. Anderson obtained leave to change his
amendment to the funding bill, and Mr.. own
shend was granted leave to have his amend
ment printed, relieving certain articles OF duty
beyond q certain per cent.

Horror. of Body.snatchins.


The village of Palermo, a few miles east of
New Philadelphia, Ohio, is greatly excited over
a case of grave-robbing. A week ago Miss Lena
Huffman, a bright, beautiful girl of the neigh
borhood, suddenly dropped dead in Labor
Church. She was buried two days later, and
on the day following there were some sus-
picious sleigh tracks near the cemetery in the
fresh fallen snow hat led to the belief that the
grave had been robbed. The grave was opened
by her friends and the coffin found to be
empty. The case was put into the hands of a
detective who soon obtained a clue to the per-
petrators. Hegot on their track the next night
and pursued them in a sleigh. The ghouls,
finding they were chased, threw the corpse into
the road in the snow. The detective, upon
coming up and seeing an object in the road
which his horse would not pass, got out, and
to his horror found the body. 1t was badly
mutilated and entirely nude. He placed it in
his sleigh and drove to a neighbours, where the
body was taken care of. If the perpetrators
are caught, they no doubt will be summarily
dealt with.

Dear Sir-Excuse me for presenting you a
picture of my five babies, born September IS,

any other such case on record or not. From all
authority I can gather there is no man can
show q picture Of five; and if I an the only
man that can do SO, I think I am entitled to a
premium. I am a wounded soldier of the late
war. Yours respectfully, MICHAEL HAZARD.

..Lenpard Man.,

The publication concerning the '1eopard boy"
in the possession of Prof. Fox, of New York
City, calls forth the following contribution from
a New Albany Qnd.) correspondent: 'In 1861,
Isaac Simmonds, a negro, then a slave in Vir-
einia and about forty years of age, noticed up
on one of his arms and his abdomen small
patches of white skin. The white splotches OF
patches continued to grow in size and their
number increased, until, when he came to this
CITY in 1866, an escaped contraband, his entire
BODY was notified with these white patches of
skin. He continues to reside in this vicinity
and to-day, under his clothing, he is nearly
white, the skin being of a remarkably dehcate
texture. The whitening process extends also
10 his neck and face, and hands, and these are
now bleached into q natural white color. Heis
now sixty years old, married, enjoys the best Of
health, and works hard every day. His trans
formation in color from black to white-for he
was originally as black as any specimen OF his
race-has caused him no i'll health or physical
inconvenience. He has all the features. of the
pure African, and his hair is SO kinky that it is
with extreme difficulty he can pass a CONT
through it. This specimen of the 'leopard
man" is certainly much more remarkable than
that exhibited by Professor Fox in his 'leoparo
boy"

they don't get down low enough. They
shoot over the heads of twelve numb

Her Husbnnd killed Her.

Mary Best, wife of David Best, of Kokomo,
Indiana, died last week, of brutal treatment.
For five years she and her husband had led a
miserable life. New Years Eve the husband
came home intoxicated, as usual, and abused
the woman shamefully, finally kicking her out
of doors, where he forced her to remain until
she was nearly frozen. After a weeks suffering,
uncared for, she died. At the inquest, Mrs.
Alice Bloser, a sister of the poor woman, testi-
fed that the room in which the sick woman
lay, was below the freezing point during almost
the entire winter. Best is under arrest, and
will probably be made to suffer for his cruelty.
Ten years ago Mrs. Best was an acknowledged
belle Of Kokomo, beautiful and accomplished,
and the brutal husband was one Of the fast
young men Of the town.
