WoMAN's TREssEs IN FEANcE.-So far as per
sonal beauty is concerned. the girls who, in
some parts of France. sell their hair, do not lose
much by parting with it; for it is the fashion in
that region to wear close cap, which entirely
prevents any portion of the hair from being seen.
and, of course, as totally conceals the want Of
it. The luxuriant crop of hair, which the dealer
has obtained for o franc or two, is sorted and
arranged, and passes from hand to hand until
it makes its final appearance as q peruke, or
some other delicate delusion The price paid
to these girls seems to vary from o franc to five
francs per head, leach weighing from three
quarters of pound to ponnd,) according to
the quantity and beauty Of the hair. So much
does it rise in value by the collecting the sort
ing, the cleaning, and other preparatory pro-
cesses, that its wholesale market price is gem
enerally from forty to eighty francs per pound
Choice heads of hair, like choice old pictures, Or
choice old china, have no limit to the price which
they may occasionally command

New TRAGEDY.-.d Netc Success of yNiss
Cushman.-A new five-act tragedy, entitled
Sc Duchess Eleanor" has just been produced at
the Haymarket Theatre in London. 1t is chiefly
interesting to Americans from the fact that Miss
Cushman's fine powers have received additional
recognition, and that the warmest kind, from
the London press. The Times says:
ga scene in the fourth act, in which the
Duchess, wrought to frenzy of jealousy, adorns
the lady she supposes to be the Dukes mistress
with her own jewels, is wonderfully strong
and the intensity of the position is Increased by
the admirable acting of Miss Cushman, who
never played more finely than throughout the
piece The Daily News says: The merit Of
the play lies in the powerful and poetical lam
guage which it contains, and in the delineation
of the character of the Duchess. This charae-
ter was very finely represented by Miss Cush-
man, whose impassioned performance in the
principal scenes was most warmly applauded .
With regard to the performance of Miss Cush-
man in the leading part, the Morning Post says j:
" To say that Miss Cushman sustained the in
terest from first to last with increasing power
and interest, is in itself great compliment to
her skill as an actress. But q still greater
praise is due to this lady for the even style of the
acting. There was not an artificial attitude. or
the slightest approach to forced defamation
throughout. 1t was, by turns, earnest, natural,
tender and grand; and for those reasons we
think it as fine pertormance--if not the finest
that this highly accomplished actress can boast
Curry ON TIRE STAGE-The N. Y. Spirit of
the Times is responsible for the following excel
lent story: During Miss Davenport's engage
ment at the Varieties Theatre in Washington, a
negro boy was wanted for waiter in one of
her plays, and had to go on the stage four times
each evening; she had generally had white
boy blacked up for the purpose, but here it was
found to be a difficult task to get one But this
difficulty was soon got over by Jim Robinson.
who had small darky. who, as he waited on
Jim every night at the theatre, was g pretty
we'll up" in the business. Jim proposed his
darky, who was accepted at once, on promise
of 25 cents per night for his services
For three nights did Addison, (that was the
darky's name,) go on in his flowing Turkish
robes, and bring down the house with laughter
for he is very funny niger. The fourth
hight came, and the play commenced. The first
act was nearly over, and the larky had to go
on in the second. The stage manager, who had
employed the n,uchacho, went to look after
master Addison, and found him in his rags.

A SCENE AT SILIsTRIA.-The Russians, in
order to dslodge the Arnouts from their ditch,
carried their own trenches within few yards
from that paltry defence, which was formidable
only because the bravest men that ever lived
held il. So near was the Russian ditch, that
the engineers threw the earth by shoFelsfull
nto the Arnout ditch. This was effected with
an enormous loss 10 the besiegers 0n-one oc-
casion, Major Emmena,a gigantic Hungarian,
issued from the ditch, leaning on the pole Of a
wagon, and challenged the Russians in the
other ditch TO come out and fight him. They
accepted the challenge by taking hold of one OF
bis legs, and endeayored TO drag him into their
quarters. But the Arnouts took hold of his
other leg, and pulled him 10 their direction,
while Major Emmena, utterly unconcerned,
nourished - heavy pole and laid it Oh the
Russians. Skulls we're cracked and bones
broken wherever that formidable weapon de.
scended, and thus, being forced from bis as.
sailants, the Arnouts drew Major Emmena
over 10 their own side. This gallant officers
life was saved on this occasion only 10 be lost
on another.
Three days after the Titanic combat in the
Arnout ditch, the Russians dispatched two Of
their formidable storning columns Of eight bat
talions each against the Arab Tabia, and by
the mere physical weight Of these masses,
forced their way in. A hand.to-hand engage
mant ensued in the interior Of the Tabis, when
the Turks fought with the fury Of madmen and
the agility OF Serpents. The Russians mean
while sought 20 secure the cannon Perhaps
they medfiated retreat, and wished to carry
of at least some trophies from silisiria. They
bad ropes with them, which they tied TO one Of
the pieces, and then commenced pulling il
through the embrazure into the ditch below.
Major Emmena saw the attempt, rushed up TO
the gun and held !, back. A Russian officer,
almost equal in size and strength to the Hun.
garian, attacked and wounded Major Emmena
Just as he was cutting the ropes, The two
strong men turned against each other They
fought and fell. When the Arabs had driven
the Russians back and cleared the Tabia, the
two antagonists we're found dead by the side OF
the gun Correspondence 81 ne Daily NeCs.

The returns which we published yesterday,
and those which we publish this morning an.
nouace that the Democratic party has been
defeated by largo majorities in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana This result has been pro
duced by an union Of the Wing, Freesoil, Abo-
lition and Know-notbing forces-by a fusion
Of all the elements Of opposition, whether
springng from political differences, distrust,
dissatisfaction, or disappointment. With the
exception Of Pennsylvania, the coalition OF the
factions las been formed in the face Of day.
and no observer Of passing events should be
surprised at the resuli which has been accom-
plished.
Pollock's majority in Pennsylvania is TO be
attributed to the support Of the Freesoilers and
Abolitionists, under the lead Of David Wilmo,
and to that of the new order Of Know-nothingS.
Some time since we ANNOUNCED that the " Free
Democracy, (" as the Freesoilers and Aholitionists
Of Pennsylvania insolenty style themselves,
had withdrawn their ticket, and recommended
the support Of the Wing nominees. This was
done openly in the face Of The public, and every
one could understand and appreciate the move
ment; but the alliance between the wings and
Know-nothings was entered into secretly and
with closed doors. II has been charged, and
there can be no doubt Of the fact, that the Wing
candidate for governor became member Of
tie Know nothing organization after his nomi-
nation. Certain il is that he was warmly sup
ported by that organization. in this point Of
view the returns thus far show thai the strength
ofthst organization has been very much over.
rated in Pennsylvania. When the Freesoil
end Abolition vote is deducted from Pollock's
majority IT will be seen that the Know-nothine
vote does not approximate the estimates which
have been made Of it. Indeed, the vote Of
Philadelphia, where the Native American feel
