Grey Hair.
Surgical Reporter.

Medical and Surgical Reporter.
Many persons begin to show grey
hairs while they are yet in their
twenties, and some while in their teens.
This does not by any means argue q
premature decay OF the constitution
It is purely local phenomenon, and
may coexist with unusual bodily vigor.
The celebrated author and traveller,
George Borrow, turned quite grey be-
fore he was 80, but was an extraordi-
nary swimmer and athlete at IS.
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 assign:ble cause, lose their
capillary coloringmatter rapidly when
about forty years of age.
Race has q marked influence. The
traveller, DR.. Orbigny, says that in the
many years hespent in South America,
he never saw a bald Indian, and
scarcely every grey haired one The
negroes turn more slowly than the
whites Yet we know of a negress of
pure blood, about 35 years old, who is
quite grey. In this country, sex APP
pears to make little difference. Men
and women grow grey about the same
period of life. In men the hair and
beard rarely change equally. The one
is usually darker than the other for
several years, but there seems to beno
general rule as to which whitens first.
The spot where greyness begins differs
with the individual. The philosopher
Schopenhauer began to turn grey on
the temples, and complacently framed
q theory that this is an indication of
vigorous mental activity.
The correlation Of grey hair, as we'll
as it's causes, deserves more attention
and study than they have received.
Such a charge is undoubtedly indica-
tive of some deep-seated psychological
process, but what this is we can only
ascertain by much wider series of OBJ
servation than have yet been submit
ted to scientific analysis.

In 1874, Clarence A. Portley, who
had lately graduated from West Point,
married Miss Maggie Alexander, daugh-
ter of DR.. Alexander, a New York mill
ionaire. When the wedding ceremony
was over, DR.. Alexander handed his
son-in-law an envelope containing
100000 in government bonds.
THANK you,' replied the gratiied
son-in-law; and then heasked, .:But as
we are going away would it not be bet
ter that you should keep the money
till we return?" 1.Tlldoso, answered
the delighted father-in-law, and his
half-choked words, God bless you, my
children" were lost among the chatter
Of the departing carriage and the val
edictory shouts. Not long ago Mr..
Alexander died without will, and no
mention was made Of the 500, 600,
though his property was left to his
laughter. Atriendly suit hasnow been
instituted to determine the ownership
i Of the 500, 900, the wife wanting her
arsoand to have the mouey.

An Alarmed Fisherman.

One morning, after eight days OF
steaming up the Kiva, Stanley, the
African explorer, discovered that the
river was the outlet ofa large lake,
which, subsequently,, he named Lake
LeopoldII., after the king Of Belgium
Acting upon the rule, never to aban-
don a good thing until you have seen
it through, lest you never havethe OPP
portunity again, he resolved to cir
cumnavigate it. Seeing half-a-dozen
fshermen's canoes out on the lake, he
bore down upon them, hoping to gain
information and fresh food. All save
one canoe, as soon as the fishermen
heard and saw the noisy steamer, fed
The occupant of the remaining canoe
was hauling in his seine, when he, too,
heard the noise of the paddle-wheels.
He fell sidewise into his canoe, as if
paralyzed. Then leaping to his feet,
and bending to his paddles, he sent
the tiny canoe swiftly over the water.
Says Stanley, describing the capture:
He observes the monster rapidly
gaining on him. He hears the whirl of
the wheels, and the throbbing of the
engine, and putting of the steam.
Another glance, and he springs over
board, and we sweep past the empty
canoe.
AS we came up he dived, and our
two sailors flashed into the depths
after him. They brought him up, each
holding an arm, and swan with him
to the boat.
"Now, Ankoli, speak softly to the
poorman."
In soothing whispers the native guide
asked what his name was.
"What did you pick me out for?"
the fisherman asked. "There are many
better than / in our village"
sWhat does he mean, Ankoli?"
"He MEANS" answered the guide,
"that there are finer slaves than he is
in the village
'Ah There have been slave-catchers
here, them"
Having evidently obtained all the
information the poor fellow could give,
we filled his two hands with bright
beads, and laid dozen handkerchiefs
by his side. Then bringing the canoe
alongside, we asked him to step in, and
placed his cloth in the stern of it,with
a small parcel of cowries.
After he had stepped in, he did not
seem to realize that he was free and
rich man until there was such dis
tance between us that he thought it
impossible for us to catch him again.
When he seemed speck in the lake,
we saw the figure rise to it's height, and
then we knew that he was conscious
that he was free.

which an Amherst Professor, few

graduate, who, though not quite TWEEN

Faculty when he was student. An
old graduate of Bowdoing College, in
Maine, returning to commencement
fifty years after graduation, asked the
meaning OF a rambling noise which is
sued from the gymnasium.
