Causes of GRAY Hair.

Many persons begin to show gray
hairs when they are yet in their tweDsies,
and some while in their teens. This
does not by anv means argue prema-
ture decay of the constitution. 1t is q
purely local phenomenon, and may CO.
exist with unusually bodily vigor. The
celebrated author and traveller, George
B ,rrow, turned quite gray before he was
thirty, but was an extraordinary swim.

Many feeble persons, and others who
have suffered extremely both mentally
and physically, do not blanch hair IN.

presently saw pretty young lady Of
their "set" coming down the street to-

those fellows by as she would any other

by accident of birth was less elevated.

FAST TRAVELLING.
Increase in the Speed of Railroad
Travelling to tie United States.

Up to q recent date, railroad travel.
ing into the United States has not been
as swift or as sofe as in the leading
count les Of Europe. In the old world
there is more government supervision
which insures better work In the con.
struc,ion of roads and more care in the
running of trains, while, In the natter
Of SAFETY, our roads have recently been
quite equal to those Cf Europe. But
the companies which built our railway
svs,t m were forced to cover long dis.
,ances through thinly settled regions
with many physical obstacles 10 the way,
such as do not exist except in rare in
stances IN Great Britain and on the con
tinent. Our roadbeds, alignments and
equipments we're not up to the mark of
the best European standard, hence the
-lOwncss cf our trains. But lately there
has been q change for the better, and on
our leading roads almost as good time
is made as in the old world. In 1870
the 'as,est train from New York took
three hours and fifteen minutes to reach
the outskirts of Philadelphia The pas
seneer is now landed in the heart Of
Philadelphia in two hou,s from N.w
York. ihe trains going at the rate Of
forte-tive miles an hour. Fifteen years
ago the shortest time between N,w
York aud Boston was eight hours and
twenty minutes. This has been reduced
10 six hours; and within couple Of
years time will he further abridged to
FIVE hours In 1870 ST L'uis was 46
hours distant from NV York; the time
now ia "a hours. New Orleans was SO
hours away; now fifty hours is consumed
in the passage. From New York to
Chicago by the Penns. lvania route is
9l2 miles, by the New York Central
$50; limie ed express trains are now run
over both roads which average 36t miles
per hour on the former, and SO 5 on
the latter. Both trsins reach Chicago
In "a hours apparent time, hut 25 bours
real time the difference being due to the
longitude. We hear much nowadays
about the troubles OF railroads in this
country, but this relates to their 6nan.
cial affairs, not to their physical condi.
ton. As matter of fact, all our rail-
roads are improving in their service, and
ara of more value to the travelling and
bu-;"ess pnhIic as years roll by.-Dem

Sleeping With the Head to the
NOrth

1t is far from a modern idea that the
position of the body in sleep may be
beneficial or otherwise The idea is
centuries old. Nor is the belief con6n.
ed to Christian lands. The Hindus re.
| ligiously believe that to sleep with The
head 10 the north will leDgtben ones
dsvs; to the south will shorten them to
the east will bring riches; to the west
will bring change of scene.
Among millions of people there is a
notion that the head in sleep should al
ways be to the north and the feet to the
south. 10 Germany this is more firmly
believed than anywhere else. A ceie.
brated old German professor, who died
few years ago at the age of ninety.
eight years, declared in his will that he
had attained 10 bis unusually long life
mainly because of his having always ia
ken this position at night. A Scotch
physician has recently written an article
on tie subject. He says that whea other
means OF quieting sick children have
failed be has turned their heads to the
north, and nine times out of ten sleep
has soon followed. (Skeptical ones have
asked why the doctor did not try this
never failing remedy in the first place)
There are scores OF other authorities to
the same effect. Many people account
for the supposed benefits of sleeping IN
this position by the claim that sleep Is
easier with the head toward the north
They all have something to say about
the magnetic currents OF the earth, Of
which the wisest philosophers declare
thev have no certain knowledge. f,be
'healthfulness Of the particular position
they recommend Is fact, sill the expla-
nations are mere guess work. Whether
it is fact or not, anv one can easily de
eide for himself; hut the msjority Of
people, trying for the first time the ex-
pertinent, believe it to be "all humbug," !"
and the trial only confirms them in ttis
opinion Or there is a disposition to
find it true, which Influences their judg-
ment Some persons who have tried
the experiment with an earnest purpose
10 get at the truth, think there is moth
ing In the theory; but even If this be so.
1t is as harmless fancy as one could 10.

Colorea State Fair Association.

Messrs. j. J. SPELLMAN, JAMES Hill
and other leading colored citizens, have
organized "Colored State Fair Associa-
ton" and have leased the buildings east
of the State Capitol for grand exhibit
ton the latter part of October. The
success of the exhibits by the colored
people az the recent Worlds Fair in New
Orleans, justities the belief that the
colored people of Mississippi will be
anxious to make creditable display of
their industries and skill, and of their
educational progress, under the auspices
of the Association just formed. They
will certainly have the best wishes and
hearty cooperation of the white people
of the State in so laudable an under
taking.

The Senate IN 1887

At present there is Republican
majority of eight in the United States
Senate. The terms of nine Democrats
and sixteen Republicans expire March
4, 1887. The States represented by
these nine Democrats are Delaware,
Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri
Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and West
Virginia. All of these will re-eleci
Democrats. which would leave the polit-
zeal complexion of the Senate unchanged
To secure a majority, the Democrats
must gain five votes from the RepubEi
cans, and these must come from the
States of California, Connecticut, Indi
ana, Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin. TIL
States relied on to furnish the needed
votes are Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio and Virginia. Indiana
New Jersey and Virginia are reasonabl,
certain, and the prospects in New Yorl
| and Ohio fair.

IT is now custom that has become
crystalized into law that the widows OF
ex-Presidents shall receive annuities OF
$4,000 during their lives. Mrs. Tyler
Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Garfield receive
such annuities now, and Congress will
promptly add Mrs. Grant to the list
Exchange.
Yes, a custom more honored in the
breach than the observance, but never
theless a custom which we presume will
not be departed from in the case of Mrs.
GRANT. Still, the widow of the ex-
President will have an ample for
tune; she has an investment of
s250,000 yielding an annual income Of
5000, which was not affected by Gen.
GRANTS Wall street reverses; and his
memoirs will yield her fortune of
$500, 000-making well nigh 5000, 000-
to which are added properties estimated
at several hundred thousand more
There will be no occasion, therefore, for
yielding TO the sentiment which calls for
a larger appropriation than is customary.
