strange Cnstoms in Berlin.


The Berlin tPrussia) correspondent of
the Columbus JoarRol thus noticAs some Of
the peculiar customs of that city. lie says: !:
''There are many customs which are very
unlike what we have hitherto seen; such,
for instance, as women, young and old,
walking the streets going into shops and
chHrehes, either baTeheaded.s or with only
white caps on their heads, or seryent-maids
with tall baskets on their heads filled with
slim loaves of bread, not less than two and
sometimes nearly three feet long, and these
are covered with carraway seed, in which
the dough Is rolled before baking. Another
very common custom, and one which seems
very inhumane, is that of drawing incred-
IDLY heavy loads, even of stone, by means
of n dog and man. or of n dog and n wO-
man, the dog with regular harness and
the woman with broad strap crossed over
the breast, over one shoulder and under the
other. f'H
The street corners are ever crowded
with servant-men ready for any work,
dressed In uniform, and with their mark on
piece of brass in front Of their cap, such
as tDieDstman Ga or 7S,' and after the ar
rival of a train, it Is sorrowful to see how
such numbers of them collect in some con-
spicuous place, where all comers must pass
on elteripg the city, in the hope of being
chosen for some service

And besides, if negro haters did but know it, they are paying them higher compliment than their friends are willing to own. For if there is such talismanic power in the ballot when applied to the African as to at once raise him to the head of affairs, both political and social then it would be the highest wisdom, as taking but little time and no expense, in the slow pro- cess of education. to at once confer the right and end the business, The negro is unable to take care of himself; he must have master, and readily attaches himself to one.'

Like all good churchmen when called upon to read service, I recited my creed, that the safeguard of democratic institutions lies in the ballot, based on the intelligence of the masses. Intelligence and rot a mere habit of the skin, qualities man for voter, or that much, woman either.
 Now let us look squarely at this question, and see if there is anything but an unreason- ing silly prejudice at the bottom of it, mixed up with great deal of very i'll breeding.

CORRESPONDENCE.

i Washington, Connecticut. is small place, 1 yet its inhabitants and transient soiourners
 seem to enjoy themselves jn quiet sort of
 way, probably fully as much as most mortals
 on this unhappy sphere. This little town has
 always been noted for its base ball propensi ties. Two matches have lately come off there,
 one of which, at least, we think, should most assnred!y be chronieed, For some time past,
 two rival clubs have been fourishing. rejoicing in the appellations of those two great clubs who have so often engrossed so much of public at tention, namely. the Stars and the Athletics.- The first match between these would be aspi- rants to fame, came of on Friday, July l4th, and after well contested game, resulted in victory for the Stars, by score of 57 to s. A return match, however, must be played, and Tuesday, the 18th, was the day selected for the exciting event Puactually at half-past three o'clock, the clubs were both on be ground and very soon their respective captains Parsons of the Star, and Deming of the Athletic had tossed for the innings. The Athletics won it, aud the Stars consequently took the bat fret The game ranged very evenly, the Athletics generally taking the lead until the eighth in nings, when their ropponents slowly but steadily gained on them. and at the end of the ninth innings the scorers announced the game to be tie, and another innings had consequently to be played The Stars took the bat, but soon went out with blank score The Athletics, confident of an easy victory, then went to bat, soon retired with an 0 marked down to them The llth innings then common; ed and finally ended, leaving the Stars conquerors by ma jority of seven runs, The game altogether was 3 very exciting ona and we believe is one of the first instances where II innings had to be played We append the score

 We went wandering down through the wood
 lands,
 In the Autumn--Alice and l. How clearly before me that memory stands, From the old times long gone by We pushed our way through the tangled wood Where the birch stems glittered white. Until close ny the river side we stood, Where the rowan berries hung bright. All the brown woods were silent overhead There was never breeze to quiver The birchen boughs and the rowans red As they hung along the river The gold noes that hung on the gray rock g

 Where only the moss could grow, And the dark green ferns dipping into the
 tide,
 Lived again in the stream below. And she twisted the berries into crown For her gleaming gold-bright hair; And the face from the bank looked laughing

LATEST PARIS STYLE OF HEAD DREss1No.- A Parsian writer vindicates the fashions in half as follows:
 Our women wore on their necks such a quantity of false hair, that it was feared we should have hair famine, and there were ru- mors of a decree which should limit every wo- nan to daily maximum ration of hair The women would be obliged, as during the famine Of '9l. to come every morning to the Mayors office to receive two ounces of false hair per poll All Ut once the mode changed. The tufts which shaded the vertebral column have climbed to the summit of the head, without even resting to recover breath on the occiput !; but the feminine tile thereupon proved too small to contain these captive balloons, and our women have torn out the top of their bon nets, in order to give passage to the counter felt curls which now crown their edifce thought at first it was one of those jokes which our women indulge in every day, but have since learned that it was the latest good taste to pierce ventillator in ones bonnet, through which the hair may escape and whirl in space At first the head dress appears ex- clusively ridiculous Further consideration shows that it has advantages and inconven- fences. Women who are not tender for each other, are enabled by this new fashion to tear each others hair without taking of their bon nets. This is one of the advantages. One of the ;nconyeniences of the new fashion is that nothing is easier to a subtle conveyancer than to transfer, without their knowledge, their head dress, which belongs 10 them only as Schleswig belongs to Prussia, redet'cet, by an nexation Ten times out Of twenty. when a woman returns home, her husband will exclaim =. Mon Dieu! what has become of the top of your head ? And she will be obliged to make the singular reply: It was stolen from me in an omnibus It may be objected that women are very imprudent to use the contra band hair to attract mems love. Ofa truth it
 is self-evident that in making him fall on his knees before the hair she wears, a Parsienne
 obliges him to take the first steps of inadelity
 to her. because the hair he adores belongs to
 another woman.
