alludes to the manner in which an elephant, be-
longing to the pursuing force, vented his rage

Highlander and trampled him to death. He then
charged bakers cart, the frightened bullocks
rushed from the road, and tumbled cart and all

minutes. After this feat be made a luxurious des-

Mr.. Wallack has brought out o capital comedy
by John Brougham, called :. Playing with Fire." 1t
is a society piece, very elegant, very witty, and
will amuse any audience. The new piece hes made
tremendous hit, and will undoubtedly be play ed
all over the country.
ASH I'D you lest week, A. Fl. Davenport came
in for a good part which Walcot Fad relrsed.
DavenpoiS played tie character very freely, We
several s'mes recalled, aad made many rev ad
mirers. Mrs. Hoey and Lesscr Wal'ack bo:e lie
burden o. tae play aud deserve a4uI mef 7ure of
the credit OF il success.
Forests 'tlplayipg Han Ito crowded horses.
They talk about King / 3dr for neaS Monday, but
that IL doubtful. MfGs Cushman opened in the
{ ranger TO half house. The whole afa'r was
ve.y sepuchral. Dyott played Mrs. Hcfsr in the
good old fossil style. Charlotte is just the same;
no younger, of course, and not bit handsomer.
My friend Tourniquet, who is as great scamp as
ever tied an artery, says 1t is about time that the
old lady &c. O. retired from the stage and took to
her easy chair. She followed up the refreshing
,,t'aager with the lively Fazio, and presume viii
60 on with the lively H,tnchback.
Laura Keene has brought out a new Irish piece,
Aileen Aroon,n by De Walden. It is half way
affair, neither very bad nor very good. 1t has been
patched, like Bourcicault's pieces, from yariour
sources, and is rather interesting.
The event Of the week is Broughams piece,
| which is very lucky hit for Wallack. He can
run it fifty nights at least, and divide the business
| with Forrest. Miss Cushman will draw in Neg
MosriGe5 and Lady Macbeth, but the stock com
pany is wretchedly ineffective that these plays
must be slaughtered if they are attempted. So
the field is left clear for Wallack and Forrest.
Between you and me, it might be in worse hands.

ton, why should he not tempt them INTO
such marriages., as the direct way to He'll,
with a preparatory course of It here ?
We believe that such marriages are rare;
and, that young people be not discouraged,
and that the world come not to an end for
want Of marriages, as our contemporary OF
the Gazette apprehends, we will remark that
we believe that the grea. majority of mar
riages are happy. tits the inevitable destiny
Of mankind, and the anticipation should be
kept as bright as possible; and that express
sion ofsubdued and settled melancholy which
settles on the male-married countenance,
should not be accepted as evidence. The
cleaning victorious expression of the Bene-
dict Of q week's-or less-experience, is far
more reliable. When marriage is a union Of
souls, it is deserving of all the sanctity that
the most imaginative celibate can ascribe to
it. This we say from observation, and, as
st. Paul said on the same subject, eve think
also we have the spirit of God"
A peculiar feature of the marriage question
is that they who regard matrimony as incom-
poeAoiO WIN thO hOl9 OhASS vi ilcott SHOulu
be the most strenuous for the holiness of mar
riage. Is Gods holy ordinance inconsistent
with His service2 Does His "divine union
between souls'' make either of them a less
acceptable offering on His altar 1t does not
appear from the Scriptures-though we admit
that we have only studied the Protestant
version-that the celibacy Of the clergy orig
mated in any ideas of the divine unity of the
married state. ST. Paul, we believe was the
only Apostle who taught fully on marriage
and he seems to have regarded it as a conces-
sion to human weakness, to be avoided if il
could be done without incurring greater evil
He had grace to abide single, and commended
his example to all who could SO abide. Such
is the growth of grace that his successors
initiate his example without hardship but
1t appears singular that while they are SC
strenuous in carrying out his injunction Of
celibacy, they should be equally strenuous
in insisting on an idea of the married state
which seems just the opposite of that or
which his injunction of celibacy was founded

Tho Custom and Operation Of Hcad-shav-
Ing Among the Japanese
A Philadelphia correspondent Of the Tn
blns says
From the usual amount Of shaving and hair
dressing performed to-day, Judge that these
operations have been interfered with, of late,
BY the general insecurity from interruption.
A japanese officer is especially disinclined to
have his head adorned in the presence of
strangers Among his friends, however 1t
seems to him a matter of no concern. The
process of hair-dressing is something too
serious to be slighted. The intentness and
solemnity of the barber are never relaxed.
He gives the whole of his mind to it. The
shaving, both of head and face, is very dex-
terously and very delicately performed; but
the combing and dressing Of the hair are
conducted upon a totally different principle.
think that the sufferings of the person under
treatment must beacute. The hair is kneaded,
as il were, with n thick, pasie-like oil, and
then combed rapidly out through all its
length, with violence approaching terocity.
The barber manifests spirit of utter reckless
ness as to the feelings Of his victim, and, in
the fullness of his exertions, twists and dis
torts his features into the strangest complica-
tions with each successive tug. Long before
the operation is concluded, the subject who,
by some stole power incomprehensble TO
| the American mind, retains his sself-command,
gives evidence Of its severity in the purple
glow thatsuffuses his countenance, and, when
Il happily comes to an end, he rises from the
floor, upon which he had been seated, and
with smile whose brightness shows how
nobly a contented mind may triumph over
the tribulations of this earth, proceeds to the
nearest window, and, with his fan inviting
gentle breezes, settles himself TO cool.
/ hear many questions asked concerning
the curious method of wearing the hair which
the Japanese adopt. II came about thus
Some three or four centuries ago, before
which time the Japanese head had always
been unshorn, great reformer, with genius
| kindred to that which invented the elongated
neither garments of delusive humility, dis
covered that, in the wars that then ragged
throughout the nation, the comfort of the
combatants would be enhanced by the removal
of portion of the hair. The proposition
was received with acclanation, and was every
where practically carried out. To preserve
| appearances, a narrow border was left un-
touched, which, gathered to the crown and
| there confined, concealedin a measure the
new deficiency. But although peace was in
| time restored, the ancient fashion was not,
and to this day the suggestive indication Of
| the depredations of war continues. 1T is an
interesting fact, and one, | think, not before
revealed, that the immediate attendants: oi
the Mikado, among whom no thoughts OF
worldly strife are ever supposed to enter, are
| the only men throughout the empire who
wear the hair uncut. They, moreover, like
the married women of Japan, have their teeth
continually blackened.
