Report Of the Commissioner Of Pensions.
WASHINGTON. December 10.

WASHINGTON, December 10.
The report of the Commissioner of Pensions
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882 is Issued.
Commissioner Dudley says the Bounty-Land
laws should be generally remodeled and sim
plified. Congress should give thoughtful con-
sideration to the entire regarding OF pensions,
making disability rather than rank the meas
ure OF the pension. officers and men having
been drawn from and returned to the same
walks of civil life. There are now III different
grades of pensioners. 1t is proposed to give an
officer the benefit of his actual rank, as anact
of simple justice. It is recommended also, in
order torplace all war claims more nearly upon
the same footing, that the limitation in Sec.
Alb be removed, so that cases barred by the
fhree-year limitation shall have their date on
the commencement at the time OF fling tho
application, rather than that OF the fling Of
the last piece OF evidence. Widows and invalid
soldiers of the regular army and navy, whose
rights accrued since June 60, 1880, should be
allow ed reasonable time to Gle their appIica-
tons, and pensions should date from the COM
mencement of the accruIng Of the right, In
stead as now. from the date Of filing the applica-
ton. A yearly salary OF s., O0Ois recommends
for Pension Agents. Speaking Of the pension
population the Commissioners expresses regret
that no provision was made in the tenth CEN

ton that can be made shows that OF z.Jo3s5Sl

Interesting Facts About Hair.

Whether the hair should be cut
never could quite satisfy myself As q
physiological practice, | seriously doubt
the prOpriety. Every cutting is wound
ing, and there is some sort of bleeding
in consequence, and waste of vital force.
| think it will be found that lOng-lived
persons most frequently wear the hair
long.
The cutting of the hair stimulates to
new growth, to supply the waste.
Thus the energy required to maintain
the vigOr of the body. is drawn off to
make good the wanton destruction. 1t
is said, know, that after the hair has
grown to a certain length it losses its
vitality at the extremity, and splits or
'tbrooms up.ias Whether this would be
the case ifethe hair should never be cut
l would like,t0 know. When it is cut a
fluid eXudes, andzferms a scab or cica-
trix at each wounded extremity, indicat-
ing that there. has been injury.
Women and priests have generally
worn long. hair. never could imagine
why this distinction was made. The
ancient priest was very often unsexed
or devoted to a VOW of celibacV, but [
cannot surmise whether that had any
thing to do with it. !, Kings wore their
hair long, In imitation of Samson, and
the golden Sun God Mithias. I sus-
peet from this that,th first men shOrn
were slaves aud laborers; that freemen
wore their hair unmutilated, as the
crown of q perfect manhood, aud man
Illness. If this be correct, the. new era
Of freedom, when it ever shall dawn,
will be characterized by men 1nshorn as
well as women unDerVerted.
l wish that our science and our civili-
cation had better devices for preserving
the integrity of the hair. Badness is q
deformity, and premature whiteness a
defect.o If the head was in health, and
the body in proper Yigor, l am conf
dent that this Wouldznot be. am APP
.prehensiye. that our -dietetic habits oc-
casion the bleaching Of the hair; the
stiff, arsenic prepared hat is responsible
for much of the badness. Our hats are
unhealthy, from the tricks of the hat
ters. l suppose there are other causes,
however. Heredity has its infiuence.
Certain diseases .Wither the hair at its
roots; others lower the vitality of the
skin, and so depilate the body. sea
1 acknowledge that the shingled head
disgusts me. 1t can not be wholesome.
The most sensitive part. of the head is at
the back where the neck Joins. That

ton; and the hair affonds this as no
other protection can. Men have boards
because they need them, and his wicked

as candidates for health aAd long life,

The Khedive has recently issued a
mandate depOsing Arab Bey, and
proclaiming him a rebel.
The recent fighting at the gates of
Alexandria is isolated. No heavy
fighting has taken place. Numbers
of Arsbis troops have appeared,
and the marines have had some skir-
mishes with them, but without serious
casualties. The main body of Arabi's
army continue in camp at Daman-
hour.
Admiral Seymour's scouts last
week brought him information that
large body of troops belonging to
Arabi's army is encamped twenty
miles from the city. Hostile demon
strations have already been made,
and an attack is apprehended. The
remainder of Arabi's army are disaf-
fected.
The latest news from an actual in
spection of the city discloses the fact
that one half of the European quarter
of the city has been destroyed.
Banks were not burned nor pilIaged,
and hospitals were untounched. A
number of fresh fires were started i'm
the city one day last week, but the
military succeeded in eXtingnishing
them before any serious damage was
doIe. Several Arabs who were
caught plundering houses were sem
fenced to be publicly whipped, aid
five men charged with murder were
executed on Place Mohomet. Great
distress prevails in the city, and star
