FASHION.


It is stated in the New Hampshire
Gazette, that the present fashion Of
wearing long hair over the ears origin
ated with state prison dandy who
took that mode Of concealing from the
public, the fact that his ears had been
cropped. We think it very likely,
and we consider it our duty to extend
the information for the benefit of the
beaux, whopride themselves upon their
near resemblance to a poodle Wbis-
kers, mustachios and imperials are all
very well in their way-for those who
have particular partiality for the
"dress circle" in a congregation Of
bears-bnt, no other genius than one
iostered within the four walls Of a PEN
itentiary could ever have obtained So
good an insight to the mysteries Of
hideousness, as the inventor of mod
ern earlocks; and he must have taken
the hint from some absent minded
kitchen wench who had pinned her
scrubbing cloth onto her head, instead
Of pair Of false curls bought Of Jac-
lard or somebody else for ball.
