The New British Prince.
from The London 0bserverl

The accOuchement of her royal highness
was expected to have taken place early In
July. The birth of the prince on Saturday,
although somewhat earlier than was antici-
pated, was certainly not so premature
as that of Prince Victor. The royal infant,
it is said, is remarkably strong and healthy,
and shows no sign or Indication whatever
of prematurelbirth. Ourreaders will learn
also with unalleyed satisfaction that the
health of her royal highess the Princess of
Wales is as satisfactory as could be expect
ed under the circumstances. Her royal
highness was present at Mr.. Halle's concert,
at st. James hall, on Friday afternOon,
and had returned to Marlborough house
in all her usual health, with the inten-
tion OF joining the dinner party which was
to assemble there (and did assembly at
eight O'Clock. "A slight feeling of indispo-
sition, however, deferred her royal high
ness from entering the dining-room, and,
as the evening drew on, indications pre-
sented themselves which speedily brought
the medical attendants to her assistance,
when, after brief suffering, bravely borne,
the princess became the happy mother OF a
second prince In the line of British kings.
The event $50 happily brought about has
occasioned an universal feeling of delight
throughout the metropolis, and the lodge
at Marlborough house was thronged from
an early to late hour on Saturday with
visitors anxious to read the medical bull
letin, and to assure themselves that all was
really as well as their fervent hope would
suggest. Before the evening closed the
visitors book at the gate recorded upwards
OF LOO names. . -,.,-,-.,.. I'D .-.,....

Negro Suffrage and Repatriation.

Burleigh, the we'll known New York cor
respondent of The Boston Journal, writes to
that paper as follows:
The understood speech of Wendell Phil
lips repudiating the national debt, and his
explanation referring it to the reputation
of the rebel debt, eXcites much attention
here from this fact: A short time before
President Lincoln was killed agcntleman OF
the radical school, who sympathizes and
acts with Mr.. Phillips in his extreme views
of things, visited a New England Sena-
tor in his rooms at Washington, and an
nounced the formation of new party in
opposition to the Administration. The
platform for the new party was to contain,
among other things, absolute equality for all
men, and the reputation of the national
debt. Not as Mr.. Phillips was understood to
put it-negro suffrage or repudation--but
negro suffrage and reputation. A long argu-
ment was entered into, in which were stated
the grounds on which reputation was to be
based. The Senator was urged to join the
new party, as the ablest men in the coun-)
try were going to take the stump, and the
principles would spread like wild-fire. The
Senator communicated this interview to
several gentlemen, one of whom was a dis
tinguished Eastern man, who expressed his
astonishment at the utterance of such SEN
timents, saying that the American people
considered every dollar of that debt as sa-
cred as the drops of blood shed in the ma
tional cause. These facts being known here,
the utterances of Mr.. Phillips on this mat
ter attract much attention.

from The Pittsburgh Post. June 9tJ
Death Of .Drdge wilkins.


We have to announce the death, at his
residences at ,tHomewood," near this city,
yesterday, morning, at four O'Clock. Of Hon.
William Wilkins, in the eighty-sixth year OF
his age. This sad event was not unexpect-
ed BY the community, and was met by the
venerable deceased with composure; and se+
renity, the, strength of his powerful mind
remaining unimpaired to the last. -,
Judge wilkins was the son Of Gen. John
Wilkins, a prominent citizen of PeDnsylva-
mia, and was born at Carlisle, In this
State, in l779. At an early age, his family
removed to Pittsburgh. Judge wilkins
was admitted to the bar in his twenty-sec-
oDd year. His career as a lawyer was in
the highest degree successful. In 1870, he
was appointed President Jndge Ofthe Court
of Common. Pleas of Allegheny county.
lie was also a.Judge OF the Umted otates
District Court and on March 4th, 1881, beJ
came member of the United States
Senate. During his Senatorial term, the
exciting question of notification arose,
aud throughout that great struggle, he gave
to General Jackson an earnest and efficient
support. He resigned his position In the
Senate in 1884, to accept the mission to Rus4
sia, rendered to him by President Jackson,
being succeeded in the Senate by James Bu-
chanano In 1910, after his return from Rus
sia, Judge wilkins was placed OH the Van
Buren electoral ticket, and was also the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Allegheny district, but, of course, tailed Of
an election. In lS43 he was again can-
didate for the seat made vacant by the res-
ignation of the late Hon. w. w. Irwin, ap-
pointed by President Tyler Charge to Dem
mark. In this contest, there were three can
didates, the Wings running Homo II. NJ.
Brackinridge, the Anti-Masons Neville b.
Craig, Esq, and the Democrats, Judge
wilkins. The latter was successful, but
had not occupied his seat in Congress many
weeks when President Tyler invited him to
take charge OF the War Department. Judge
wilkins, from the termination of Tyler's
Administration in 1916, took but little ac-
tive part in politics until 1855, when he al
lowed his friends to use his name for the
State Senate, to which he was triumphantly
elected for three years. In the Presidential
contest of 1856, he served as an elect0r on
the Buchanan Electoral ticket, but advanc-
ing age admonished him of his inability to
take an active part in that exciting contest.
From that period until the breaking out Of
the civil war, the venerable deceased was
but little seen in public; but when the blast
of open rebellion was waited from South
Carolina. he put on his harness and labored
assiduously with all the powers of his great
intellect, to arouse our people to their dnty
in the terrible crisis through which we havo
SO happily passed.

Something about the Hair.

How many hairs on your head? The
number varies with different persons; the
average is stated on good authority to be
293 hairs to every quarter OF square inch ;
from this each can calculate somewhere
near the sum Of his own. FlaXen hairs are
finest, brown and red next, and Black, the
coarsest. A space containing l47 black
would be occupied by 162 brown or lS2
tiaxen hairs. Each hair springs from root
EMBEDDED in the skin. The outside is COM
posed of horny scales overlapping each
other like shingles on roof, though not
with the same regularity, and these scales
form atube enclosing a marrowy pith. The
hair of different races of men varies in
the negro may be telted, that is, formed in
to solid compact mass like cloth. This
property is owing to the prominence of the
scales composingit. Straight hair is near
ly round, curly hair is more flattened, the
most SO in the negro, whose hairs are near
ly fiat ribbons.
The different colors depend on minute
particles OF coloring matter within the hair !;
age, sickness, mental exercise, or sudden
fright may destroy the coloring matter and
cause the hair to turn gray. '"' ~ 'N'''
In animals having "whiskers," as the cat,
tiger, rat, etc., the hairs are supplied with
nerves, which render, them very, delicate
'feelers," by which they are aided In stealing
on their prey. In passing through marrow
spaces, these give notice if the opening be
not large enough to admit the animals
body. l'' nl.II. Iiu ~ '''.'' ~ '''l.1
In some forms of disease the human hair
becomes extremely sensitive at the roots,
and liable to bleed. Frequent cutting
causes it to grow coarser, but not more
thickly, and those who desire, to retain soft
silky beard should not shave at all. Oils,
pomades, and such preparations clog the
pores of the scalp aud prevent the healthy
growth of the hair; washing thescalp with
water and thoroughly drying with a towel,
will keep it in excellent condition. Human
hair Is an important article Of trade, tons Of
| 1t being sold every year. Inlarge districts
Of Europe the peasant girls are shorn Of
their locks annually, receiving from two to
twenty dollars each for the crop. Mostol
this Is used by those who cannot grow
| enough of their own, some of it for making
iewelry and other ornaments. - Amertcai
