The Hair of Presidents.

In the post flee at Washington there
are many objects of considerable inter
est connected with the Government and
those who administered its affairs in
times gone by. While examining
those curiosities, nothing struck us so
forcibly as the samples of small locks
of hair taken from the heads OF differ

cured in n frame covered with glass.
Here is, in fact, part aud parcel Of
what constituted the living bodies of
those illustrious individuals whose
names are familiar us household words,
but who now live only in history and
the remembrance of the past.
The hair of Washington in nearly Of

appearance.
That of John Adams is nearly the
same in color, though perhaps little
c)arser.
That of Jefferson is Of very differ.
ent character, being mixture Of white
and auburn, and rather coarse. In his
youth Mr.. Jeilerson's hair was remark
able for its bright color.
That Of Madison is coarse, and Of u
mixed white and dark.
The hair of Monroe is Of handsome
dark auburn, smooth, and free from
any mixture. He is the only ex-Presi
dent excepting Pierce, whose hair has
under gone no change in color
The hair of John Quincy Adams is
somewhat peculiar, b ,se.s.g. sy9g'Ye' and
That of Gen. Jackson is almost per
fectly white, but coarse in IFS character,
as might be supposed by those who
have examined the portraits Of the old
hero.
That Of Van Buren, is quito white
and smooth in appearance.
That of Con. Harrison is of fine
white, with slight mixture Of black.
That of John Tyler is mixture Of
white ard brown.
That of James X. Polk is almost
pure white.
Taylor is white, with a slight mix
ture OF brown.
That of Willard Fillmore is. on the
other hand, brown with slight mix

That OF Franklin Pierce is dark
brown, of which he had plentiful
crop.
1t is somewhat remarkable that since
Pierce's time, no ono has thought of
preserving the hair of his successors.
There are vacancies in tho case, but
there is no hair either Of buchanan,

A Comptroller on the School Tax Qaes-

The Comptroller has received several
applications from county authorities to
advance the amount of school fund
due from tho year commencing Sep
TENDER /, 1882, dir, CT to the county
treasurer from the available school
fund in the state treasury. The law
requires that the school fund due such

advanced to the counties by the county
collectors out OF the fist taxes collected
for the year 1882, as the amount of the
rolls, and on occupation taxes collected
on tile new account, commel cling July

EVERY MAN REPRESENTS CAPITAL.


Tho earnings ofa laboring man, say
sdOO u year, represents the interest at
ten per cent. Of $4,000. The man who
earns $500 per year represents in his
person $4,000 capital; he who earns
$1,000, $4,000 capital. IL ia this capt.

The latter does not trust his property
to the risk of fire, but by insurance
