The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1882-07-21

CONCERNING the attainable length OF
the human hair, the following is interest
ing. THE ordinary length of the hair
OF the head in women varies from twenty
inches to a yard, in some instances
longer even than that but they are Of
unusual occurrence-its weight from five
to ten ounces. A contemporary relates
an instance where the hair on lady
head attained the measurement of two
yards IN length. But it's proper length
for texture and strength should not ex-
coed twenty-four inches, and its value as
long hair is much deprecated in price
when it falls shorter. It has been calcu-
lated by Withof that the beard grows at
the rate of a line and half per week,
which gives length of six inches and a
half In the course of year while for q
man so years of age twenty-seven feet
would have fallen before the razor. We
are informed that the beard of the Bur
gomaster, Hans Steinegen, was so long
that upon one occasion, having forgotten
to fold up the same, he trod upon it rs
he assembled to the Council Chamber at
Brunn, and was thereby thrown down
and killed. And still further we may
cite from Elbe that at the Princes court
at Eldam there is a full-length painting
OF carpenter whose beard was nine feet
long, so that when engaged at work he
was Obliged to carry it in q bag. In the
Industrial Exhibition of 1862 there were
exhibited specimens Of human hair taken
from the heads of English, French and
italian ladies, the longest specimen hav-
ing been cut from one of our own coun-
trywomen. It was q lock of jet-blaok
hair, and measured seventy-four inches
in length"

of the most seccessful and liberal of Span

displaced the Jesuits and took the helm

The immediate purpose of President
Barrios in visiting our country is said to
be recreation but it is understood that
he viii confer with our Government with
reference 10 the adjustment Of the bound
airy dispute which has existed for long
time between Mexico and Guatemala.
Guatemala claims that the entire Mexican
State of Ctispas belongs TO her, and that
the northern boundary of Chiapas should
be the Northern boundary of Guatemala
Mexico claims that not only Chiapas, but
the whole of Guatemala, belongs to her
because Guatemala was included in
Mexico under the old Spanish dominion
and that both countries were subject to
the same Spanish Viceroy. Mexico, how

A special correspondent Of the New

Mormon friend enumerated at his request
the following anomalies that he knew Of
in recent poly gamous marriages:
"a young and very pretty girl In the
upper ten of Mormonism, married a
young man of her own class, but stipsla
ted before marriage that he should marry
a second wife as soon as he could afford
10 do so. Against his will she has now
kept him to the promise.
ia Young couple wore engaged, but
quarrsled, and the lover, out OF pique.
married another lady. Two years later
his first love having refused other offers
in the meantime, married him as his
second wife.
"a man having married sccon nd wife
to please himself, married q third to
please his first.
"a couple about to be married made an
agreement between themselves that the
husbands second wife should be one OF
the relatives OF the first wife. The lady
who was selected refused. and the hus-
band remained true to his promise for ten
years. AT the end of this time his first
wife voluntarily chose another mate for
him.

pear so o, ficiii 6 as to leave the reader
in doubt rs TO whether there will be or

According TO one report the people of
Egypt appear to be pre- pairing for a
great war. All the strong and able bod

families. The old men and the women and
