PREVALENCE OF BALDSEss.-From some cause
or other. badness seems to befalI much younger
men than it did thirty or forty years ago. A
very observant halter informed us a short time
since, that he imagined much of it was owing to-
the common use Of wearing silk hats, which,
from their impenneaLiity 10 the air, keep the
head at much higher temperature than the old
beaver structures, which, he also informed u.s.
went out principally because we had used up all
the beavers in the Hudson Bay Cornpany's S terri
tories. The adoption of silk hats has, however,
given them time, it seems, TO repenish the breed.
This fact affords a singular instance ofthe infu-
ence Of fashion upon the animals Of remote con-
tinent. 1t would be more singular still if the
silk hat theory of badness has any truth in it,
rs it would then turn out that we were sacrifi-
cling our own natural nap in order that the bea-
may recover his. Without endorsing the
speculative opinion Of halter, we may, We
believe, state it a well known circumstance,
that soldiers in helmetted regiments are oftner
bald than any other of our heroic defenders

ErIouETtE.-1t is related of young Austrian
prince, who was very hungry, that he remained
several holrs contemplating a dish, which he
could not touch according to etiquette, because
the officer in rank was absent in the country,
and could not be at his post in less than half a
day. But the prince would have sooner died of
hunger than suffer point of etiquette tobe trans
gressed.
Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, is said to
have caught a severe cold one day, while waiting
to have a1 under garment put on, the lady IN
waiting being at the time absent, and the next
lady not daring to infringe the law of etiquette
which rendered the pleasing office Of dressing the
Queen the exclusive privilege Of the first lady Of

Worthy Of a Yankee.

/ A jersey Tavern keeper who had become more
celebrated for the length of his bills than for the
abundance of his table, met with one as sharp As
himself on one occason. A Yankee happening TO
pass through that barbarous region, stopped at
this mans hotel and ordered dinner. When he
came to pay the bill he astonished to find 1t
Stretched out to the round sum Of six dollars
| This rather startled the Yankee and he demand
ed TO know what he had eaten, that such q bill
should be charged. The landlord replied, the
bill will show YOU" On consulting it he found
several kinds of wines and extras
. Wei, look here! didn't have none of your
wines-there was none of that ere stuff brought
on for me, and won't pay the bill ~
. Oh, we never wait for orders here-we know
our business, replied the landlord. q The wine
was on the table, and you could drink it or not,
that was your business, not ours
The Yankee there was no use in quarrel
ling about the matter, with broken heart he
paid the bill Three months after that our East
ern friend again made his appearance at the hotel
and called for dinner. When he sat down to the
table he laid twenty dollar bill at the side Of
his plate and ordered all the delicacies he could
think of all the wines he could stomach. While
eating his dinner he called the attentios IS tie
landlord to the bill to whether it was genuine
or not The landlord looked at it replied that it
was and handed it back. As soon as the Yankee
had finished be put the money in his pocket,
wal kod cut of the house and jumped into his
wagon.
''Helow" ~ said the landlord, /" you've not
paid your bill -
It's your own fault" said the Yankee, "I
never wait to have bill presented to me
the money laid on the table aud golr could hare to-
ken n or not just as you told me about the wine
three months ago yesterday"

American Manners.

Bishop Potter, man who ha 5 done great ser

the following language:

the wondrous magnifcence of the Universe.
