Growth Of the Hair After Death.

There appears to be some ground
whereupon to claim that the hair Of a
person continues to grow after death,
making the subject one worthy Of
thought and attention. In recent

Of bodies we're removed from the vaults
OF a church in Carmine street, New

the golden hair remained and reached
luIuriantly below the waist, and had
over'run the body, showing upon it at
the first glance like a thin veil. The
writer cited q case. A child was trans
ferred from Greenwood cemetery to
Laurel Hill. In sickness the hair had
been cut close to the head. When the
coffin was opened for the purpose oi
Identification the hair was found grown
to exceed foot in length. There il =
story also told of the love of Gabriel
Dante Rossetti's youth. Tho girl he
loved died while very young, and the
pillow to her coffin was the manusorip,
poems the young author had inscribed
to her. When Rossetti's fame became
so great that all his writings sere o.

buried poems. The poet had none. no,

Cassidy's characteristics

Attorney Genera Cassidy has always
been a lawyer who knew not what rest
was. Yet he is not rich. OF course, he
has some money laid away but the ac.
ceptance of this position is considered
by his friends as a direct pecuniary loss
to him. In great measure he is com

which is OF the most profitable sort.

burg, within the beck and call of the
governor. am told that Cassidy would
not have accepted this position had it
not been for the opposition which was
manufactured against him. The bait
was tempting and one that a man could
scarce refuse. On the one side was the
honor, possibility Of stepping higher
and the satisfaction OF knowing that hi.
name would go down in the pages Of
history. Upon the other was the
thought OF breaking into a lucrative
practice, CHANGING the picking it up
again after four years If nothing better
offers itself The attorney generalship
was not accepted the same day it was
offered, nor the same week. Cassidy is
never sanguine Of anything. lie crosses
all the bridges in his path before he
comes to them, so to speak. Strange
disposition for man who has achieved
50 many successes, both at the bar and
in politics. lie never sees a silver lining
in a cloud, and does not believe the sun
will shine until its golden rays pour
down in full force. He worries over
adverse criticisms in the newspapers.
and becomes restless when a good word
is spoken to him. Why? Because he
fears some one else will take it up and
twist it around the other way. When
he is engaged upon an important case
he knows nothing else until a verdict is
rendered. lie studies every detail
evolves in his mind the best
plan for breaking down the witnesses OF
the opposition, and if he can possibly
avoid it, will not burden his mind with
any other matter. When he comes to
make a speech he knows what he is
talking about. II can be taken for
granted then, that no decision he rem.

her husbands funeral, caught a severe
cold and died OF pneumonia within
