CONTRACTION OF CRrNoLINE.-It is an
nounced, on fashionable authority, that
the hoop-skirt is to be contracted in its di-
mensions and brought within reasonable
bounds; but there are no practical evil
dences of the fact yet visible. If Parisian
fashion should say the word, however, o
fashion that has defied ridicule and scorn-
ed inconvenience will give way, and the
skirt once more cling to the wearer. The
hoops have been satirized to no purpose,
ana have preserved their sway, although
ill-natured masculincs have been fond of
holding them up to ridicule. How long
the unsightly and monstrous protruberance
attached to the rear of the ladies' head
dresses will continue to offend the eve is
another question. The adoption of sucff
style was simply an experiment adopted
by the lovely sex just to see how much ar
tificial deformity they can assume without
relinquishing their empire over the lords
Of creation. If IN artist should paint an
angel or madonna with such head gear,
the picture would not be admitted into a
bar-room, and the object represented would
be deemed more hideous than if it had
been furnished with a pair Of horns or
tail. But the lovely sex could afford to
hang rings in their noses, or assume a cos
tune of red paint, if their whims should
so suggest, and yet exert the same absolute
sway over the coarser segment of hu-
manity.

SIGNIFICANCE OF HArR.-IIair parting
naturally in the middle, and falling owe,
the temple, as it generally does in women,
and sometimes in men, indicates the femi.
nine element in a man symmetry and
| beauty Of sOul-genius of a certain kind,
which implies the feeling of the woman
combined with the thought of the man. II
is 4 very common characteristic among DO
cts and artists, rs seen in Homer, virgil,
Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe, Dante, Ra-
ph9l, Titan, Handel, Mozart, Tasso,
Chaucer, Keats, Burns, Hoffman, Longfel.
low, and others. In pictures of Christ,
and in other exalted, highly refined and
beautiful characters, this characteristic is
always introduced by the artist.
Sometimes the hair, on rising from its
bulbs, turns in irregular rings on the fore
head, giving an open air to the physiogno-
my. This indicates good nature as we'll
as exuberant vitality. Crinkled and wavy,
and close curling hair indicates vivacity
and excitability, if not brilliancy. -
Regular curls symbolic ideality, and
when only part Of the hair is worn in
curls the curls are instinctivcly disposed
over the organ of that faculty.
Straight hair may be said to indicate, in
cultivated persons, evenness of character
and a Straightforward honesty of purpose,
as we'll as clear head and good natural
talents.
The darker the hair the more robust the
body, as general rule, and the coarser
the skin and tissues of the body; but
sometimes the hair and skin are at the
same time dark and fine.
The dark haired races are physically the
strongest, but less endowed intellectually
than the fair-haired. The first are more
inclined to manual labor and active exer-
else, and the least to mental exertion. The
dark races are workers, the light races
thinkers, poets, artists, etc.
Black hair indicates strength and pre-
dominance of the bilious temperament. as
in the Spaniard, the Malay, the Mexiean,
the Indian and the Negro.
Red hair is sign Of ardor, passion, in
tensity of feeling, and purity of character,
and goes with the sanguine temperament,
as in the Scotch, the Irish, the Swedc, the
Dane, etc.
Auburn hair is found most frequently in
connection with the lymphatic tempera-
ment, and indicates delicacy and refine
ment of taste, and, if the mind be cult
waited, fine moral and intellectual power.
1t is common among the Germans, the
Danes and Anglo Saxons.
Dark brown hair combines the strength
of the black with the exquisite suscepti-
bilities of the light hair, and is, perhaps,
all things considered, the most desirable.

AN INCIDENT AT THE WISCONSIN STATE
FAIR.--Among the interesting scenes wit
messed on the state fair grounds Yesterday
was an interview between q young man
and a pretty, modest looking country girl,
whom he had the previous day run away
with and married, and the young lady s
mother. The parties reside, we hear,
somewhere in the neighborhood of Mon
roe, Green county. The girl being under
age, and the parents not liking the lover,
had refused to permit the marriage. But
the attachment of the young people was of
that ardent nature that it could not be thus
easily satisfied. They gave the old folks
the slip, had the irrevocable knot tied, and
went to the state fair to see the sights.
We regret to be obliged to confess that
under such circumstances the groom, not
content with ample bliss of his new rela-
tions, had apparently been attempting to
increase his happiness by a resort to what
the poets and temperance lectures call the
" flowing bowl" Hc sat in buggy upon
the fair grounds, in the midst of the crowd,
with his young wife by his side, as happy
as the first effulgence of the honeymoon
and--say about three-whiskey cocktails
could make him. His face shown with de-
light, and his eyes swan in soft maudlin
ecstacy of double-rcfned xxx. bliss. His
wife looked innocent, pleased and content.
In this condition they were suddenly
discovered by the wrathful maternal rel
ative of the young woman. The old lady
was voluble in the expression of her senti-
ments to the young man. There was a
puckery ascidity in her homely words that
would have made the young man vince if
he had not been fortified as before men,
toned. As it was, he listened with defer
ence at times, and at others was disposed
to take humorous view of the situation.
His wife did not seem much concerned
in the affair, and looked pleasantly around
over the crowd, watched the wind
mills and the revolving swing, us if she
enjoyed the spectacle. The irate mother
finally concluded by declaring that the
girl was under age, the marriage invalid,
and demanding that he should return her
daughter. 10 this demand the happy hus-
band responded with genial smile and
the expression of very decided opinion
that his claim upon the daughter was one
that would hold.
A few hours later the happy pair were
seen still together, and partaking of stew
ed oysters at '' Freedoms dining hall. -

Practical JOKING.-JOe and Commo-
dorc Rogers, brother blacksmiths in Wis
consin, have q great reputation for being
practical jokers. Last summer Joe bought
an old fashioned dash churn, for the pur.
pose of manufacturing their own butter
and Us the commodore was widower and
lived with Joe, all such work as churninc
naturally fell to him. One day after sup
per, the first churning was got ready, and
the commodore was invited to churn.
"Hold on" says he, "till l 20 down
town and get some toJacker."
He went, and while gone Joe did the
churning, took out the butter, and left the
butter milk in the churn. The commo.
dore returned, looked MT the etAurn, toos
off his coat, and says: ''Waal, old churn
it's you and l, and here's for ye!' ant
commenced his labor.
After churning couple of hours, h,
remarked that he "guessed it would b,
cheaper to buy butter than to make it,
~ think so too" said Joe, elf you are 60
ing to churn it out Of butter-milk r.
A few days after that churning process
Joe put one end of a small bar of iron in
to his forge-6re, gave the bellows three OF
four pumps and stepped into the back shop
While gone, the commodore heated the
iron to black heat, then changed ends
with it, and stepped out of the front door
to watch the progress. In came Joe, tool
up the iron, but dropped it instantly, hold.
ing up his burned hand, and roarcd with
pain.,
"Put on some butter milk, Joe-it's
good for a burn p said the commodore as
he made a mastery retreat amid shower
of boquets composed of hammers, hard
coal, and horse shoes. lyt

HoP YARD.-This is one of the institu-

it. So thinking we went up there the 9th
er day. Judge Rogers, DR.. Day, Upton,
Price, Quinn, Monroe Snedigar, and Brews-
ter, with his team, made up the party with
which we went. With but one accident
Quinn getting his arm ont Of place-there
was before our party big field of fun
Eighteen acres of as good hops as ever
grew in this latitude. Forty or fifty of the
most Industrious and amiable girls, busy
as bees, in picking hops, and in no degree
slower in the use of their native language,
no doubt were objects of deep interest to
our bachelor companions. 70 us individ-
ually the new Kiln, which, while an orna-
ment to the Farm, is as complete build
ing for drying purposes as there is any
where, interested us most. The manner of
picking Hops is not uninteresting either,
and we presume is of sufficient moment to
those engaged in it, for some Of our best
ladies, married and single, were there ar.
rayed in F" Boomer" stripping the richly
laden vines. We didn't notice the costume
SO much as the bloom on the checks Of the
fair pickers, who were making from 81 .O(
to $3.50 per day. An agreeable, healthy
occupation hop picking is, and our only
wish is that Davis & Beardsley had thou
sand acres to pick, SO as to give the bal
ance Of our town ladies chance.-Etko

SOME THINGS LOVE ME-.
BY r. BREAD

All within and all without me
Feel melancholy thrill;
And the darkness hangs about mo,
Oh, how still
To my feet the river glidcth,
Through the shadow--sullcn, dark;
On the stream the white moon riseth.
Like bark
And the linden leans above me,
Till think some things there be,
In this drcary world, that love me,
Even me!
Gentle flowers are springing near me,
Shedding sweetest breath around;
Countless voices rise to cheer me,
From the ground;
And the lone bird comes, hear II
In the tall and windy pine,
Pour the sadness of its spirit
Into mine;
There it swings and wings above,
Till l think some things there be,
In this dreary world, that love me,
Even me!
Now the moon has fioatetl 10 me.
On the stream see it sway,
swinging, boatlike, as 'twould WOO me
And the stars bend from the azure,
c0nld reach them where lie.
And then whisper of the pleasure
In the sky;
There they hang and smile above me,
Till think some things there be,
In the very heavens, that love me,
Even me! ...
Now when comes the tide Of even,
Like q solemn river, slow,
Gentle eyes, akin to heaven,
On NE glow
Loving eyes, that tell their story,
Speaking to my heart Of hearts;
But sigh, "a thing Of glory
Soon departs ~
Yet when Mary fades above me,
l must think that there will he,
One more in Heaven, to love me,
Even me!

By the President:
WM. II. SEWARD, Secretary of State.

There is going to be enough of every
thing except fruit throughout the North,
although we hear rumors of prospective
distress from the South and Southwest,
where cotton and corn are represented as
being pretty much failure. 1t is held
that in some extended sections of the South
there will be positive suffering next win
ter, unless special provision is made for
alleyiating the wants Of the population
If we are to have enough and to spare in
the North, it will seem hard if our breth-
rem in other parts of the country will have
to do without. 1t may be that associations
will have to be formed for distributing the
crops as they should be.

A COARSE WOMAN Great men have
rarely exemplary children. Lauve de Will
M, who married in 1864 the chamberlain
of the Austrian Emperor, Count de Tolua,
is daughter of Louis Napoleon and Mrs.
Howard. She is a woman of licentious
tastes and uncontrolled appetites, and is
now seeking divorce from her husband
in order to become woman of the demi-
monde. Paris is full of scandal in conse-
quence, and Napoleon III. is in great dis
tress. Even crowned heads cannot escape
these domestic Affections.
