GRAY HAIR.

Many persons begin to show gray
hairs while they are yet in their TWEEN
ties, and some while they are yet in their
teens. This does not by any means
argue premature decay of the consti-
tuition. 1t is purely local phenom-
enon, and may co-exist with unusual
bodily vigor. The celebrated author and
traveller, George Borrow, turned quite
gray before he was thirty but was an
extraordinary swimmer and athlete at
sixty five.
Many feeble persons and others who
have suffered extremely both mentally
and physically, do not blanch a hair
until past middle life; while others,
without assignable cause, lose their cap
ilary coloring matter rapidly when
about forty years of age.
Race has Il marked influence. The
traveller, DR.. Orbigny, says that in the
many years he spent in South America
he never saw bald Indian, and scarcely
ever q gray-haired one. The negroes
turn more slowly than the whites. Yet
we know a negress of pure blood, about
thirty-fveyears old, who is quite gray. In
this country sex appears to'make little
difference. Men and women grow gray
about the same period OF life. In men
the hair and beard rarely change equal
~. The one is usually darker than the
other for several years, but there seems
10 general rule as to which whitens first.
The spot where grayness begins differs
with the individual. The philosopher
Schopenhauer began to turn gray on the
temples, and complacently framed
theory that this is an indication Of vig-
orous mental activity.

WHO BIDEs Ills TIME.

Who bides his time and day by dag
Faces defeat full patiently,
And lifts niirthfpl rnundelay,
However poor his fortune be-
He will not fail in any qualm
OF poverty the paltry dime
1t will grow golden in his palm,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time-he tastes the sweet
OF honey i'll the safest tear;
And though he fares with slowest feet.
Joy runs to meet him. drawing near;
The birds are her;tlds of his cause,
And like never-ending rhyme,
The roadsides bloom in his applause,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time, and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves,
Shall wear cool wreathen laurel. wrough
With crimson berries in the leaves,
And he shall reign goodly king,
And sway his hand DER every cline
With peace writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.

KEoKUK, THE INDIAN CHIEF.
An old pioneer in the Keokuk Gan
City tells the following story:

An old pioneer in the Keokuk Gah
CITY tells the following story:
Being very superstitious people,
legends grew with the Indians, and to
almost every child was attached special
phenomenon, or attending its birth q
legend. Among the many that Keokuk
could recount was tile one attending his
own babyhood. It was custom for
conquered tribes to mingle with their
conquerors, and on one occasion the
members of the entire wigwam of Keo-
kuks tribe girded themselves for
Western hunt, leaving only one squaw
behind, who had just returned from
dance with conquered tribe. Keokuk
at this day was only IS months old, and
during the day the squaw fell asleep.
leaving young Keokuk to pilot himself,
when wolf, finding everything silent
about the camp, ventured boldly up and
took young Keokuk off to its den.
When the tribe returned from their
hunt they found young Keokuk gone.
Search was Immediately made for miles
and miles around the grounds, but with
no results. They returned, and gave up
hope of ever finding the missing child,
and held mourning dance in honor
of this lost papoose. On the third day
after the loss the mother of young Keo-
kuk was frantic with grief, but was
quieted by being told that her child was
in the moon, to look after and forever
guide the destiny of the tribe. This
was substantiated by the squaw who
was left in his care declaring that the
Great Spirit came while she was asleep
and took him to the moon. That she
saw the spirit in vision while asleep.
Three weeks passed and no trace of the
babe could be found. The next day,
however, o wolf was seen prowling
around the ground, and chase was made
by a young brave by the name of Fleet
Foot.
The wolf was tracked to his den in
the Lodges of the rocky bluff that
crowned the banks of the broad Missis-
sippi. In this burrow was found little
Keokuk, in company with four cub
wolves, snugly slowed away in COM
Portable rest, fast asleep with his
stomach well filed, presenting every
appearance of being well kept. The
old wolf was pursued, caught and killed.
She proved to be a mother in milk. and
it was upon her pap that young Keo-
kuk had lived for over three weeks.
The babe and cub of wolves were re-
moved from the den, and the babe re-
stored to his mother, who exhibited
much Joy and ordered grand festivities
upon his return.
It is said that much of Keokuk,s
bravery, strategic cunning and success
as q warrior was due to his imbibing the
pap of a wolf. He was, without a doubt
the greatest chief of the time, and he is
remembered by many of the early
settlers of Iowa as both friend and foe
to the white man. AS trophy of this
legend, the nest in which young Keo-
kuk was found was rA3y11o-acd to the
wigwam of his parents, and there kept
till the extinction of his tribe.

Mr. Jefferson held that it was both
unreasonable and unjust for the major
ity party of the country to be excluded
from public Offices Of appointment and
compelled to see those offices filed, as
was then the case, almost exclusively by
their political opponents; nor did he
wait upon death or resignation or delin-
quency to enforce his opinions on this
subject
The removals that he made were par
tieularly for "electioneering activity o.

principles of the Government, or fol
using the influence of Office to destroy
the confidence of this people in theil

ton is virtually reiterated in Mr.. Cleve

As to appointments made by his pre-
decessor, between the period Of his owr
election and Inauguration, Mr. Jefferson
emphatcally insisted that no sucl
appointees had any claim upon hin
whatever for continuance in Office. anC
unless protected by some constitutional
tenure their appointments would be re
garded as having never been made.

regret If their earnest efforts at reform
are baked by the misguided policy Of

incumbents in tie South were put into
Office to reward offensive partisan service
and doubtless they have brought them
