Teeth and Eyebrows.

An exchange says that we have seen a pri.
vate letter from Yede, Japan, in which the
writer says" All the married women shave
their eyebrows, which gives the face a singular,
uncertain appearance, as if there was nothing
to distinguish the top from the bottom, and
blarken their teeth. This custom has the effect
Of making them look most hideous, and un-
pleasant when they are most pleased, for to
look at them, when laughing, you seem to be
looking icto a coalscutt'e.' In this country,
the cus,om with some ladies' is to pencil the
eyebrows to make them appear darker and
heavier than nature intended, and white teeth
are justly considered indispensable requisites
to beauty. Instead Of looking into such "a
coal %scuttle." We of this new world prefer to
admire the dental worries, surrounded by frame
work Of rosy hue.

The Triumph Of a Travelling Mesmer.
iZef in u Difficulty.

The author of "Sam Slick" observes in the
course of a work he had just published, that
the trials to which travelling mesmerists are put
in America, are, at times, humiliating and pain.

the unbelievers. One poor fellow on arriving
at Detroit, to lecture, was surrounded by sew

he himself would be escorted out of town,

Of Harrod Us. Jarrod, instituted in the British
Court of Chancery TO recover payment of a
legacy, the London Times says it was an
extraordinary feature in the case, and one
giving rise to much confusion, that out of two
families of the respective names of Harrod

that every female member Of a family of JAR
rod had become a Harrod, and every female
member of the family of IIarrod had become a

The Homestead Bill.

The New Orleans Bee, in an article upon
the Homestead Bill, now before Congress,
uses the following forcibIe language:
THE worst of this bill is that it proposes to
squander away the entire public domain-an-
Initiating, as q contemporary well remarks, "at
one fell swoop a heritage vast almost beyond
the power of computation, and a perennial
source of revenue for public exigencies such as
no people ever before possessed" Seventeen
hundred millions of acres of the public domain
to be alienated forever from the Government!
To be offered to every idle vagabond; to every
lazy lout to every transported felon and to
every irredeemable pauper which the old world
casts forth upon our shores. This immense pro-
perry to become a boon and a premium to un-
thrift, idieness and vagrancy--to be held out as
a bait and lure to attract to our country the re-
fuse of every cline in Europe. In all soberness
did mortal man ever hear Of so mOnstrous a
project?
"By this infamous Bill every State will be
despoiied Of her share in that common trust
fund of which Congress would be the guardian
for the benefit of the whole country. The
South will be robbed of her righttul participa-
ton in the public lands, while the West and
Northwest will be the sole gamers. They will
augment and multiply beyond calculation.
They viii be rapidly filled up with the pauper
Immigrants of Europe--landless and moneyless
before--but blessed by this lovely bill with 100
acres for every mothers son of them who can
to persuade a woman to marry him,
and thus convert himself into the head Of a
family. The public domain thus wrested from
its legitimate application, will be parcelIed out
amongst aliens, upon whose ignorance the Free
Sellers of the West will play, until their ma
tural anti. slavery prejudices will be nurtured
into an intense and unbridled aboIitionism. Is
it any marvel that three-fourths Of the Southern
Senators combat the Homestead Bill even to
the bitter end, or is it at all surprising that the
N. Y. Tribune and the whole motley tribe of
"vote yourself. a.farm' politicians are eager for
its passage.

attaining this object, nearer than any predeces-

As early blossoms sweet.

With ma one tooth within.
