A NtF-A curious incident which
occurred last week in Hydepark explains
the reasons WHY human hair has risen
within the last TWO or three years up
wards of 100 per ceEt. in the market. On
Tuesday last, about 40 p. m, a young
gentleman was seen riding slowly thro'
the crowd Of equestrians, holding on
high at the end Of his cane ehignOn, 2s
those heavy Jumps of hair are tee. meal
ly called with which young ladies of the
present day delight in decorating the
napes Of their necks. As the ehigaoh-
bearer rode along, looking inquiringly
around him, it was most suggestive to
observe the almost involuntary manner
in which ut least two thirds of the
alarmed young women present raised
their hands to the back of their heads,
in order to ascertain that the ehigHOns
were all right and tight. Whether the
gentleman was merely playing the trick
for his own private amusement, or
whether he had really picked up lump
Of false hair which some unlucky girl
had accidentally she'd will probably
never be known; but the sensation
which the accident caused satisfactorily
accounts for the increased value of hu-
man hair as an article Of commerce.

A Very UEFeRruuATB MANA man
figuring under the name Of Francis, it
will be recollected, made his appearance
in Middlebury last fall, estensibly for
the purpose Of buying horses, but really
to cozzen the select men into paying him
damages for alleged injuries sustained
by bad roads. He spit blood, limped
and groaned, but when he found his
game wouldn't work, disappeared with
out paSy,.nn ms BOARD bill, This unfo,"-
tunate and ill-starred man, a victim of
bad roads, the Register says, has turned
up, Or rather fallen down In sundry
places in Connecticut. His lungs still
yield the crimson fluid, his ribs still
break, his legs are still the locality Of
bruises, and he still demands dana &C
Of selectmen. This origi" svipdlar
has driven quite o lively business in
this and osnar States. From some towns
that Preferred to pay down than stand a
suit, he has obtained large sums, and in
all has disappeared by night trains with
out paying his bills.

4 PICKPOCKBT CAToHBR.-A few days
ago an Englishman went to Paris to
take out patent in France for an in
vention to detect pickpOckets. He en-
tered an omnibus and sat by the side OF
an elegantly dressed lady, with q very
charming face. Soon the EDglishman
saw an expression of distress and dismay
come over that face, and felt o tugglng
at his pocket. With cruel smile he
looked at the fair creature, who, Grim
soned with shame, implored him TO let
her 90. He released her hand, and she
thereupon stopped the omnibus, leaped
out, and ran down the street with most
unfeminine speed. The Englishman was
highly pleased with the success Of his
device, which consists of a strong calico
diaphragm stretched across the pocket
with an India rubber opening that ex-
pands to permit the entrance Of a
strange hand, but will not do so to per-
NIT it to withdraw Scientific -Am1icat.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.-The NewburypOrt
Herald advocates extending the suffrage
to females. 1t says;
We think it will not be long before
this community viii see the advantage,
if not the necessity of extending suffrage
to females Who believes f. the women
of Newburyport could vote-as educated
intelligent and patriotic as the men
that as many rum holes would be kept
open, and gambling saloons in full blast,
and so many loose girls allowed on the
streets, all tending to demoralize, I'M
poverish, and degrade their husbands
and fathers, their brothers and sons =
Give them the right Of suffrage and lib
erty would be more secure, intelligence
more diffused, order better established
AID the happiness OF the people, based
upon morality and religion, hundred
fold increased. Before We waste our
time in disputing upon the extension of
franchise Of distant states, let US secure
to the virtuOus and educated females of
the North the indisputable right to vote
the inalienable right of self govern
ment, and thereby bring unnumbered
blessings to our own doors. We would
like to have the experiment Of woman's
influence so far tested as to give them
the supervision of police regulations in
the city for thirty days, and if they did
not do more and better for us than any
body has done yet we would no more
ask the extension Of suffrage to blacks
or whites, males or females.

prevailed while in the water, chung to a

four children from both fire and water,
and got them on board one of the boats.
His wife was, however, still on board of
the burning ship. He swan back to the

wife into the sea, jumped in after her
and again reached the boat with her,
thus saving his entire family.
