A Woman on aWaterfalls.S

Mrs. l.. Maria Child writes letter TO the
Independent. in the course of which she uses
the following language In regard to tho
latest fashion In hair: t-s e..
Thinking of the great and blessed work
done, during the last four years, by woman
in the Sanitary Commission. the hospitals,
and the school.houses for the emancipated,
! seemed to see bright light dawning on
our future career; but the vision receded
in the distance when looked from my win
dow, and saw bevy of dsmsels sailing by,
with hen.coops in their skirts, and upon
their heads rimless pan of straw with o
feather in it-utterly useless for defense
against wind or sun.
"To make this unbecoming head. gear
still more uugraceful, there descends from
it something called BY the name of water
fall, but which, in fact, looks moro like o
cabbage In o net tricked out with beads and
wampum. If ! had met them in the West.
ern forests, I should have taken them for
Ojibbeway squaws, but their dress was la
mode Paris,enne. This tyranny of France
is, suppose, one of the things that must
be endured, because it cannot be helped.
till our brains are better developed. In
process of time, ! trust tho Empress Eu-
genie will sleep with her illuetrious ances-
tors, and that no other fantastic queen Of
fashion will come after her, to lead the civil
lized world such fools dance. What o
set of monkeys we are, in feathers and fur
bellows. dancing to the tune Of that imperi-
al show.v0man."

What War is In China.

A private letter from French naval ofi.
Ger, dated Shanghai, January II. describes
an EXPEDITION against the rebels. in which he
bad just taken part. The Globe gives the
following translation Of part OF his iestcr:
"We have just returned to Shanghai from
an expedition which lasted nine days, dur
ing which time..we have been almost CON-
stantly on foot, up TO our knees in mud and
water, eating and sleeping anyhow. We
we're sent on Reconnaissance. The coun.
try 10 mostly plsnsed with rice, and intersect.
ed 10 all directions with small canals. At
about ton lesgues from Shanghai, as We
gradually approached the rebels, We found
the ground obstructed With eorpses of Chi.
nese. The towns wore entirely depopula-
ted, and often burnt. Sometimes four
walls, which represented q house, would bc
found to contain the bodies of men, women
and children; and the roads we're literally
paved with bodies. Radine, but recently a
fortified town of 10000 inhabitsnts, had
nothing standing bnt its fortihcations -
ruins. Wherever tho rebels pass, tbey
leave their bloody traces. At hrst they
took up arms from political motives; but,
then, they became mere bands of robbers,
who rob and murder indiscrimiuately, with
out any political pretext. They had but
just left one town, which We entered, and
We found bodies of women and children,
stilS warm, and wet with blood. We we're
to stop here for the night; and / set about
hunting among the brick ruins for some
house that still remained standing, where /
could find bed, for the weather is very
cold, AT lost found one; but on turning
back the coverings of the bed, a sight met
my eyes thai, assure you, was not agree
able. A msn and . woman lay there, as.
sassinated in tho most frghtful manner. A
cord had been bound 90 tightly round their
waists that the intestines protruded through
their open wounds! it was horrible. This
is what war is in China! The rebels do not
wear tails like the other Chinese; so that,
when on their predatory expeditions, they
adopt the simple plan of numbering every
one who has not his head shaved"

Chemical Dangers.

M. Roue!le, an eminent chemist, was not
the most cautious of operators. One day,
while performing some experiments, he OBJ.
served to his auditors, "Gentlenan, you SEQ
this oauldron upon the brasier; we'll, if /
were to cease stirring q single moment, an
explosion would ensue which would blow US
all in the air." The company bad scarcely
time to reflect upon this com Portable piece
of intelligence before he did forget to stir
it, and his prediction was accomplished.
The explosion took place with horrible
crash; all the windows of the laboratory
we're smashed to pieces, and two hundred au-
ditors whirled away into the garden. For.
tunately none received any very serious In
jury, tho greatest violence of the explosion
having been In the direction of the chimney.
The demonstrator escaped without further
injury than the loss of bis wig.

WEATHER SIGNS IN THE SKY.-The color
of the sky at particular times affords won
derfully good signs of changes in the weath-
or. Not only does rosy sunset presage
fair weather, and a ruddy sunshine bad
weather, but there arc other tints which
speak With equal clearness and accuracy
A bright yellow sky in the evening indi-
Gates wind; yellow, wet. A natural gray
color constitutes favorable sign in the
evening, an unfavorable one in the morning.
The clouds are full of meaning in them
selves. II their forms are soft, underlined
and feathery,the weather will be fine; il the
edges are hard, sharp and defined, 1t will be
foul. Generally speaking, any deep un-
usual hues beteken wind or rain, while the
more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair
weather. Simple as these maxims are. the
the British Board of Trade has thought fit
to publish them for the use of Eeataring
men.

ENDURE HARDsnIPs.-As o gladiator

meet and overcome difficulty and danger
We must take the rough and thorny road as

tion at least of our daily duty must be
hard and disagreeable, for the mind cannot
be kept strong and healthy in perpetual

A Thrilling Scene at Pixies Opera
House, Cincinnati.

The Hanlon Brothers, who are very cel-
obratod acrobats, have been giving gym
nastic performances at Pixies Opera. House,
IN Cincinnati. One evening recently,
Mr.. Thomas Hanlon was announced TO ap.
pear in the sensation act, entitled "The
Leap for Life" The apparatus tor tho act
consisted OF ladder with three rounds ,sus.
pended from the middle of the proscenium
arch, at hight of forty seven feet. This
was horizontal position guarded BY four
ropes, to prevent any oscillation whatever.
Hanlon came promptly on the ata2e. and
Immediately asconded to tho ladder by
means of perpendicular rope. Once there,
he won't through series of perilous gym.
nastic xercises-swingipg by bis hands from
end to end of the ladder, hanging BY bis
feet to its rounds, and performing other
characteristic foats. Tho conclusion of this
act Is of the most startling character. Sud-
denly recovering himself from position in
which bis head 10 banging downward, the
gymnast stands upright on the end OF the
ladder, gives powerful spring towards the
proscenium boxes. and seizes a vertical rope
that hangs suspended at distance of eiph;.
cen or twenty feet from tho point Of dc.
| parture.
We learn from the Cincinnati Commercial
that at this etsge HanloD, having accom-.
plished his other feats with the utmost fear.
lessuess aud apparently without moments
calculation, appeared q moment gathering
himself for the terrific spring, and the mex
moment was flying in dizzy arc toward the
rope. the lower end Of which was held BY
two of ibis brothers. He reached the rope,
grasped for it, missed 1t, and fell with con-
fused flash 10 the air, striking the stage
with fearful.momentum, and rolling over,
unconscious and bleeding, into the parq uette.
The audieroe, on whose lips an expectant
sigh of relief had hovered, rose to their feet
with q murmur of horror, subdued, but uni.
versal. Some ladies cried out, and some
parties, in their Consideration, turned to
leave tho theatre. The wings Of the ssago
Immediately became peopled with the mem-
bers of .he company, and tho auditors near.
estithe unconscious gymnsst lifted his form
| to the stage, across which It was borne out
of sight, mass of bloody fnery-a strange
contrast to the Iight-footed athlete who, o
few minutes before, had scaled his wsy to
his dizzy perch. with all the ease and indif-
ference of a squirrel. A surgeon was called
and the wounds dressed. which were of .
severe but not fatal character.
