CENTRAL CRIMINAL CUURT—(7his Day.

THE MURDER IN SOUTHWARK.

Charles Martini, 45, boot finisher, was placed at
the bar to take his trial for the murder of Mary
Ann Wright. Ile was also charged with feloni-
ously attempting to kill and murder himself. Mr.
Straight appeared for the postponement of the trial
to the next session, in order to afford an opportu-
nity for an inquiry into the state of mind of the
prisoner. The application was granted.

H.AIR-DI.ESSING IN THE LAS 7 CENTURY

The extravagance of fashionable hairdrestattl n the
eighteenth century has been amusingly exiatitsit. by a
writer in Cassell's Magazine. The wildest absurdities of
savage nations were left far behind by the grandes dames
of the period. Matters began gently. The hair was simply
raised at first over a cushion seven or eight inches in
height, and shaped like a cocoa-nut. After a while this
head-dress began to rise higher and higher. All sorts of
objects were sought to be imitated in coiffures. Here a
lady is represented with her hair dressed upright in the
form of a lyre. There a second has hers arranged like a
.string of cherries on a stick. A third lady luxuriates in a
huge mass rolled over pads, surmounted by a double fan of
lace and artificial flowers. Another carries about an imita-
tion of a dove, the size of life, perched on her head. A jar-
diniere full of gathered flowers loads another belle, as if she
were a market woman hawking her wares. A rival beauty
absolutely supports the model of a vessel in full sail, two
feet long at least, on the top of her head, while her hair is
dressed out behind to float it, and represents a mimic sea.
Others have profusion of flowers, feathers, ribbons,
scarves, and bats to crown them. An immense deal of
false hair was used, and the mass cemented with a hard
pomade of hog's lard and marrow, liberally used. After
dleising, the whole was well powdered. As these che-
velures took a long time, and were costly to arrange, it
was not considered possible to re-make them often; there
fore one dressing usually sufficed for at least a month.
Previously to any grand ball, ladies' heads were often
dressed a week, and even a fortnight in advance. To have
it dressed a night or two bafare was nothing. The lady sat
up and slept in a chair in the interval, full of terror, lest,
during her fitful slumbers, she should damage her coiffure.
Her pallid looks mattsred nothing. Paint and washes were
in vogue.
