THE RESCUE,

We are of course all of us seeking to do what we
can in the way of alleviating the unfortunate an 1
starved population of the French capital, but it
appears that there are almost as many different
collateral sufferkgs calling for peculiar treatment as
there are hungry men and women in the lately besieged
city. Doubtless many anxious friends in England
have read with alarm in the papers a statement made
by an eminent Loudon firm of hair restorers. It is
as follows: " A severe shock to the nervous system
has in numerous and well authenticated cases
(within the walls of Paris) caused the hair to
become snow white in a single night." Happily,
this appalling intelligence is not given to the world
without the suggestion of a remedy. Reading the
paragraph in the papers to its end, we are told that
in all cases of such nervous suffering, recourse should
at once be had to Rowland's Macassar Oil and
Kalydor ; and doubtless ere this the steamship
Burgsund, which is being loaded in the London

LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND THE STAGE.
The Athenaeum says :—Two or three weeks ago we men-
tioned that a manuscript diary of two visits to Paris, in
1814 and 1815, had been found among Lord Palmerston's
papers, and that it would be given to the public through
the Temple Bar magazine. We now learn that the diary
is found to be too long to be published in that way, and that it
will appear in a separate volume.--Azamat Batuk is writing a
little book on the recent history of France, under the
heading of "On the Ruins of the Second Empire."
The learned Turk having made the campaign
as the special correspondent of the Pall Mall
Gazette, the book is to embrace the events which
followed the fall of the Empire, as well as those which
preceded it.—Professor Seeley is to write a volume on
Sir Thomas More and his times for the " Sunday
Library."—lt is a sign of the extraordinary interest felt
by the public in the present Franco-Prussian war that
the first edition of the collected " War Correspondence
of the Daily News "—an edition consisting of 2,ooo—was
sold off in ten days.—" The Coming Man," a philosophi-
cal novel, by the Rev. James Smith, who edited the
Family Herald in former days, will shortly be published.
—A correspondent complains that Mr. Percy Fitzgerald's
novel " Two Fair Daughters," which we noticed lately,
has already appeared in All the Year Round, under the
title of "The Doctor's Mixture."—A curious pamphlet,
from the pen of Senor Castels, has just appeared in Madrid,
entitled " Amadeus I. from a Phrenological Point of View."
—lt is to be recorded, not without emotion, that there are
now not less than nine law schools in the Presidency of
Bengal alone, with 670 students, thus threatening India
with a plague of lawyers. The Government con-
tributes a. very small part of the expenses, but
what is said to be contributed by the students
will be ultimately got out of the unfortunate public.—
Mr. Ben Herring, well known as an animal painter, son
of the late J. F. Herring, died last week of diptheria,
after five days' illness.—Many readers will be glad to
learn that the Town Council of Liverpool intend to hold
an Exhibition of Works of Art in Brown's Library, near
St. George's Hall, and that this will be done soon after
the closing of the forthcoming Royal Academy Ex-
hibition. The hanging of the pictures will be
superintended by the President of the Liver-
pool Academy, with further artistic assistance;
otherwise the gathering will be, we understand, indepen-
dent of the Liverpool Academy as a body. Public ad-
mission will be gratuitous. We believe no invitations will
be sent to particular artists to induce them to contribute
—all artists are invited to send to heirhe I works.—lt is

pro-
posed to celebrate the centenary tndependen
the United States, in 1876, by means of an Exhibition of
Manufactures and Works of Art at Philadelphia. A bill
for this purpose has passed the House of Representatives
at Washington, and is expected to be accepted by the
Senate.--The Western Chronicle of Science is the title of
a new periodical, published at Falmouth, edited by the
Teacher of the Mining School, and devoted to such
branches of science as are applied to mining and
metallurgy.—A new safety lamp, for use in coal-mines,
has recently been experimented upon. It is constructed
for burning paraffin oil instead of common oil.
It
is the invention of Mr. W. Simpson, of Battersea,
who claims for his lamp greatly increased safety
and a light superior to that of any lamp at present em-
ployed, The use of so inflammable a material as paraffin
should be adopted with the greatest caution in the various
conditions of danger which ever surround the coal miner.
—lt is said that the title of the comedy by Mr. Albert'
destined to succeed, at the Vaudeville Theatre, " The
Two Roses " of the same author, is " The Two Thorns."
The shelling of Paris has been disastrous to NI.

it. The celebrated Abbe Moigno, editor of Les Mondes,
was slightly hurt by the breaking of a glass from 311
explosive shell. The private apartments of Mr. Milne'
Edwards was visited by a shell, which has done much
harm to the valuable furniture. Another shell penetrated
into the Gallery of Zoology, and caused much damage
to the glass work ; and again another into the Gallery of
Mineralogy, in the very place where M. Daubree performs
his experiments on artificial meteors ; but happily it had
exhausted its force, and did but little harm. Many
instances of kthis description have occurred, where shells
were *tit to their utmost range, and did not
explode under such circumstances. The reverse hs,
however, been observed, for one shell falling in the Sefs;
with great force, the watcis offered resistance like a soli"
body, and an explosion took place : the effect was curio"s"
A shell fell in the courtyard of the College de Francs
when M. Levavasseur was lecturing on political econoraY,
and the young professor was not disturbed by the c
jectile, portions of which broke through the windows. 0

have only to leave the place."--Nature.
