An Interrupted Poker Game.

The death of Col. Len A. Harris re-
moves a picturesque figure from the
haunts of men about town.. Col. Har-
ris WIS a soldier from his boot-heels to
the crown of his head, and Il good one,
too. When Buell. left him at Fort Nc
Cook, the ramparts of which had been
mounted with quaker" guns to con-
ceal from the enemy the withdrawal of
the Union forces, he never expected to
see him again. and when the Colonel
turned up at headquarters Bull looked
up at him from his writing and said,
grimly: you here? ! eve expect
ed to see you again" Il got here"
was Col. Harris terse reply.
"a half dozen officers" said n Of
Col. Harris aides last night, "wcre Sit

Wanted to-

At 2 o'clock the other afternoon Off
Ger Sam Allen, of San Francisco, found
Louis Styeh, a negro, looking at his life
blood flow from two CHASTITY wounds on
each wrist, at Gers lodging house at
tho southeast corner of Stockton and
Pacific streets. says the Chronicle.
The man was taken to the receiving
hospital.
Styeh was a cook On the steamer Aus
tralia, and on February 10 last was at
Honolulu, where he had trouble with
his walters. He wen ashore and on
going aboard again was assailed by four
of his men, who had waited for him in
the dark. He had originally gone
through the world with only one eye.
but when the quartet of assailants had
finished with him he was entirely
sightless and the galley saw him no
more.
Deep insult was added to brutal in
jury when he was arrested for assault
and taken ashore, going to the Queens
hospital, where ho remained two
months. There was no hope for him
and he finally drifted to San francisco,
but being blind no could get no employ
ment, and his money soon disappeared,
leaving him on tho verge of starvation.
As q last resort he secured a razor and
slashed himself across tho wrists, sew
ering the arteries. When discovered
he was holding his hands over sbasin,
fearful of splashing blood over he fur
%niture, and doing his best to dc with
dispatch. 81 will make a bette job of
it next time" he said doggedl, as he
vas being conveyed to the Hospital.

Coffee in Lapland.

I was taken into one of the Laps
huts, says 4 writer in an English
journal. In the center a wood fire
was burning brightly on ONE stones,
and at first the smoke was very un-
pleasant, but soon one became accus-
toned TO it and it served the useful
purpose of driving away the winged
plague which had followed us all day.
The man proceeded to boil some
coffee, which in q few minutes was set
before me, together with n wooden
bowlful of reindecr's milk. The coffee
was not very palatablc, but under the
circumstances worse fare would have
proved acceptable. The milk l found
to be too thick and rich to drink much
of.
A sugar loaf was produced from be-
meath some cloths in Il corner, and n
few pieces were Clipped off and hand
ed to me. accepted them with my
politcst smile, accompanied by Il bow;
but when l proceed to sugar my coffee
in the orthodox style the action caused
much amusement to the juvenile Laps,
who roarcd with laughter, and app
peared to enjoy the fun immensely.
l found that l ought to have eaten
the sugar SEPARATELY, rs they did, and
they evidently considered my way of
sweetening coffee ineNpressibly funny.
Cakes were then served to each one.
These were about the size of II penny
bun, but of the consistency of putty or
dough, which they somewhat resem-
bled in appearance. Sour cream was
eaten with them. So nasty We're they
that a mouthful gave mo ''quite a turn"
and l was glad to smuggle the remain
der underneath The rug on which | was
sitting. l did not like to throw it
away, for fear of offending my hosts,
but trusted TO the sharp noses of tho
dogs to get me out of the difficulty.

The Hair and Health.

Physicians assert, and it seems at
least reasonable, that the condition of
the hair is an index to the health OF
the owner; that n scanty growth in
dictates impaired vitality, that where
the hair is thick, glossy, and rich in
color. it indicates bodily vigor and
health, and this is undoubtedly true.
Another alleged cause for the scanty
growth is the custom of keeping the
head closely covered; this is support
ed by the peasant women of Europe,
who work all day in the fields with lit
tie or no covering to the head. have
the most luxuriant growth of hair. 1t
is quite probable that both of these
hypothesis arc correct. Certainly tho
Breton peasant girl, toiling in the
fields with the Drawn of muscle and
of endurance fully equal to that OF her
brother, enjoys n degree of health
greatly superior to the larger portion
Of our country-women-although we
are not quite prepared to adopt that
form of life, no, not even for the sake
of beautiful hair; but it is quite posi-.
bic. by care and painstaking. to pre-
serve and improve that which we have.

Heat and the Growth OF Hair.

1t is generally understood that the
hair and nails grow faster in hot
weather than in cold; but perhaps few
are aware that any temperature can
impartso great a stimulus to the growth
as Col. %Pejevalsky the Russian traveller,
says the central Asian heat did during
his journey in those regions in the sum
mer of 1859. In June the ground and
the air became excessively hot-so
great indeed us to render travel in the
daytime impossible. Within a fort
night after this oppressive weather be-
gan it was noticed that the hair and
beard of all the party was growing
with astonishing rapidity, and, strang-
est of all. some youthful Cossacks,
whose faces were perfectly smooth. de-
veloped respectable boards within the
short period Of twenty days.

Bernard's astonishment may be I'M

How it is in Morocco.

The Moroccan soldier is not so much
a man of war as n collector of taxes,
says Hurper's Magazine, and from time
law or rule, to visit those whom lie
fluids either too rich or rich enough for
him, the sultan, to claim his share of
the prize. Rapine is the only esourc
of the treasury. Each pasha leyies his
share on all the bargains concluded on
his territory. In the second half of
this century the most horrible fortunes
were inflicted both upon Mnssulmans
and Jewish merchants in order to force
them to their fatal riches. j.
Drummond Hay, in the narrative of
his journey on the banks of the Leucos.
relates dreadful details; men shut up
in ovens. wedges driven in under their
nails, children smothcred slowly be-
fore the eyes of their parents, Il man
shut up in the cage of a chained lion,
whose chain was long enough to enable
him to come within an inch of the
victim, who could not make the slight
est movement without being rem by
the talons of the beast.
When the merchant has tortured
the slave, ana when the pasha has
ritled the merchant, the sultan employs
similar means to relieve the pasha of
his booty. Many q pasha, after finally
getting rich, is betrayed by one Of
those around him, and denounced to tho
emperor as Il great capitalist. There
upon he is sem for to court, and the
good sovereign despoils him of every
thing, even to the last piece of money
that sleeps in his Golfers or in his
pockets, even TO the last tcrra-cotta
vase, which is soldein the mar%kct-place.
Then the pasta is sent back to his SUBJ
jects. so that he may begin another
period of oppression. Ii, however, tho
master has reason to suspect that any
portion of the treasure has been kept
back hidden, he has the pasta beaten
and then sends him to spend the rest
of his days in the contemplative shades
of Il prison.
