DARK HAIR AND FAIR HAIR.—ID the new num-
ber—the secood—of 27ie Anthropological Review, and Jour-
nal of the Anthropoloyieal Society pf London, there is • very
interesting paper, by Dr. John &dice, which seems to
show that the which English poets and English
painters have alwaya manifested for fair hair rather them
for dark is not shared by the masa of the English people,
and that fair hair is coosequently becoming every
day lens and less prevalent in &Weird. The in-
crease of dark hair In this country was Int noticed
by Mrs. Somerville. who, in her book on " Pbyeical• Geo-1
granny," mentions her strong impreesioe that, at she time
she was writing that hook, fair hair was much less common
among her countrymen and countrywomen than abe
remembered it to have been in her youth. Sines Iben, at
various times, many other persons have expeaseed a
similar 'pinion, acid pow, in the girlie)* referred to, Dr.
John Beddoe publishes facts which seem to prove pretty
conclusively that such witoessee have not bee. inisiekea
with respect to this matter. In the paper fa gaestiaa, Dr.
Beddoe gives particulars respectim the ogler of the
hair and the social conditios of 737 young who bare
come under his othervatim in hie capacity of physician to
the Bristol Royal Infirmary. Of them 737 wows. she
hair of 22 was " red," that of 95 was " fair," that of 140
was " brows," that of 33$ was " dark brown," and that
of 33 was " black." Reckoning bath the " red," th•
" fair," and the " brown" as '• fair," sad only tbe "dark
brown " and the " black as " dark," the respective totals
were thus moldy equal, being 387 " fair" and 369 " dark."
Of the 367 fair-haired women, however, 32 per cent. were
single, while of the 369 dark-haired women only 21'5 per
cent. were single. It would thus appear that a greater
proportion of fairhaired women than of dark-haired
women " live and die unmarried and without offspring,"
and an that the increasing prevalence of dark hair
among us is due to what—slightly varying the phrase
which Dr. Darwin has rendered so familiar Dr.
Beddoe calla " conjugal selection." It should be noted,
too, that Dr. Brildoe's figures establish not eely that,
waking generally, a dark-haired imams has (at lead In
the west of Ragland) a mach better chance of settles
married than a fair-haired woman has—the properties .7
fair-haired women who fail to God bulbul& Indoe to that
of dark-haired women who similarly fail as three to two—
but also that, among dark-haired women themselves, the
chances of msrrisge are in proportion to the degree of the
darkness of the Lair. This, of the imams with dark brown
hair who came under his observation. 92 per wt. were
6.40., while of the women with black hair only 18 per
cent. were ao. Dr. /kiddie vide some resew ter sopposiog

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9.

MANY sincere well-wishers to Prussia enter-
tained hopes that the humiliating and even dan-
gerous position into which that kingdom was
thrown by the Austrian Emraaoa's advance as a
Reformer would have bad a salutary effect upon
the political conduct of WiLuAlt 1., and have I
prompted him by a speedy dismissal of his
Minister to come to an understanding with his
people. There were even expectations that if the
Kixo's character and principles stood in the way
of an accommodation, he was prepared to abdicate
rather than be responsible for the disruption and
debasement of the monarchy.
These expectations, we are sorry to say, ap-
pear to be disappointed by the maintenance of
the noxious Minister, by the dissolution of the
Chambers, and by new elections taking place
under such auspices. The views and calculations
of M. BISMARCK are sufficiently transparent. He
sees Prussia thrust into the second rank of German
States, and its influence among the minor sove-
reignties even of the North wasting away. In-
stead of adopting at once a domestic and
a Federal policy of consistent liberalism, M.
BISMARCK proposed meeting the antagonism of
Austria by open force. He wanted at the very
first to appeal to arms. His madness was over-
ruled by the Kixo, but unfortunately not discardbd
from his councils. For M. BISMARCK'S idea is still
that the display, if not the use, of force can alone
vindicate the dignity and secure the rights of
Prussia. Not only does the Minister entertain
these ideas himself, but he thinks that
the country must share them. The quarrel
between the KINO and the Chambers lately dis-
solved was upon the organization of the army. One
of the arguments of the Opposition was that a large
armed force was not required in the present junc-
ture of European politica, and that even at a future
time should Prussia be menaced by • foreign foe,
it was rather to the numbers of • German than of
a Prussian army that the Government should look
for safety and defence. M. BISMARCK thinks
that these arguments of the Opposition have
been completely disproved by recent evepta.
Austria has appeared upon the field of
politics with proposals most derogatory to
Prussia, and the German Sovereigns have sup-
ported the EMPRROIL Neither their policy nor their
armies can therefore be reckoned upon to defend
the House of Honawrourax, which must look to
itself and to its own national army. The
military question thus resuscitated, acmd-
ing to M. Bisetaaca'a view, takes quite a different
shape. And however Prussian Liberals might
have objected hitherto to 200,000 soldiers,
they cannot surely object now that the Emperor
of AUSTRIA has assumed so menacing a rivalry.
These are said to be the calculations upon which
the Prussian Minister is about to try new oleo-
tions and to face • new Chamber.

The rsah Minister evidently reckons without his
host, sod is about to expose his Sovereign to
. . _ _

further

and defeats. Had another

Chamber been summoned, and the altered phase
of the German question been shown to it, under
another Minister than M. BISYLRCK, under other
auspices than the Feudal party, it is possible that
the country first, and the Chamber afterwards,
might have gone half way to meet the concession
implied in the change, and that a compromise on
the military question might have resulted. But with
M. BISMARCK a Chamber of moderates is not to be
hoped for. His very name will add scores
of votes to the advanced liberal party.
The unfortunate Kirin, therefore, instead of saving
his country from a perilous position, and at least
leaving some chance to his son and successor to
rescue it, is now aggravating the domestic quarrel,
provoking the nation, rushing headlong to a revolu-
tion, and irrevocably handing over Germany to
anti-Brunie/1 influences.

The infatuation of the Kim} in upholding such
a Minister is unaccountable. WILLIAM I. is
well aware that he owes all his present diffi-
culties, whether in Prussia or in Germany,
to M. BLBMAMCL. That politician's known ..tostility
to Austria aroused the Eurraoa from the very
first day of his appointment, and his ill-concealed
intrigues with France and with Russia not only
alarmed the Court of Vienna, but indisposed all
the other German Sovereigns. Had Prussia been
in its normal state, governed by any other ministry,
the unanimity which Austria all but obtained at
Frankfort would have been impossible. There is not
one of these Prinoesthat Brat/awe has not menaced.
For to the character of being a foe of all popular
righta, the Prussian Minister has contrived to add
that of being a plotter against the independence of
German Sovereigns.
Yet this man, the suspected and abhorred of all
classes and of all powers, has found it necessary to
invoke the broadest of popular principles as a de-
fence against Austria. He himself and the King
of PRUSSIA have declared that nothing short of
direct representation for the German people at
large will satisfy them. We need not say that it
is this which the German Princes and their Courts
most dread, and that if they rally to Austria
it is in fear of the fulfilment of such a whim. No
one, of course, believes that M. BIAMAIWI would
have made such a proposal if he thought there
was a chance of its being carried. Nor could
such a proposal from such a Minister win the con-
fidence or adherence of the great body of German
Liberals.

It is thus with a Minister universally odious and
contemned in his native land that Wruaan I.
is mad enough to appeal again to his people. The
Kum appeals to his people from the slurs and
alights flung upon him by the Congress and the re-
solutions at Frankfort. But the Pre mien nation, to
which he appeals, feels equally humiliated at being
thrust into a corner. Far, however, from thinking
the Austrian Earanoa guilty of either malice or
