that they will derive material advantages
from direct mail connection with Evans

SHAVING THE EAcE.-Dr. e. Sanborn, Of
A ndover, writes to the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal quite an interesting letteE
in favor of wearing the beard. He takes the
ground that the custom Of shaving the beard
among nations Of men 10 always attended or
followed BY marked deterioration in the
physical organisation, not only Of the exist
ing race of people, but Of the race to come,
and quotes examples from history to support
his conclusions. He says that the aborigi-
nal inhabitants of our soil and climate were
once brave, powerful and numerous; but they
~sged war against nature by uprooting the
beard FROM their faces. and consequently
grew more and more effeminate with every
generation, until they became an easy prey
to their enemies are themselves uprooted
from ths face Of the earth. He cites the
Chinese, too, as people who have been
shorn Of the locks and of their strength to-
gether, till. as nation, they have only q
mere nominal existence; and he says of the
Abrahamic race, whose creed il is to pre-
serve unmarried 'fhe corner of their boards, -
that he never saw case OF pauperism, pre-
mature physical debility, or premature dis
ease among them. He says:
The habit of shaving is not of "origin di.
vine." az thousands seem to think, but quite
the reverse. Tie ancient patr,archs, the
holy prophets. Christ and his disciples, and
the earlier and probably purer Christians,
deemed il violation OF the laws Of their m.
ture. Alexander enforced it upon his army
that they might thereby gaia bIoodirr con.
quest. The nobility OF Spain adopted il
through courtesy to their beardless prince

proverb-"Since we have lost cur boards, W

identify. We are rather soulless slaves tina n
the men our Maker maze and designed Us to
be.
DIR. Sanborn concludes with calling upon
every freedom son of America TO shake of
all conyentional'ies which Cypress human

hackneyed words that ignoramuses always

improper for any one who knows nothing of
it's principles or movements, to condemn or
sneer at it. When they commenced their
humble efforts, they did not deem it neces.
sary to sound trumpet before them, but the
first step taken was just what your CORES.
pendent Of yesterday suggested-they en-
ployed two ladies' to solicit funds and materi-

went forth faithfully and cheerfuly upon
their thankless m ssion. and although they
met with some wounding sePu'ses. they Oh

remains to be done. Failing in their efforts

the interest Of some of the best musical tai

a concert, the avails Of which they hope
will enable them to pursue without ostents-

are not much surprised hat the ideas Of your

hope we have shed light enough upon them
to clear away the mists with regard to our

DORCaot nm vs. n nmDu8s
The heroine of this new and hitherto mys-

iaudabIe and charitable calling. She "shows

true matronly defiance to all those who
would try, by .:sneers" and "jeers," to bring
her masnanimous association into ridicule,
or in any degree question its benevolent
mo,ives'or its capacity for usefulness. We

been received and forwarded to the Depart

things, both in New York and Virginia
which render morally certain the defeat OF
Seward for the U. s. Senat by our new Leg

The recent manifestations in Brooklyn and
elsewhere of internal difficulties and opposl-

The ranks Of the new party, according to
the information before us, are rapidly filling

South, and the foreign Influences that may

We have not a doubt that, If the State
