Where ~ Comes From-Filthy Cenab-
tion. &c. s
A London correspondent Of the Chicago
Evening Journal gives the following inter
esting account of the chionons, now the ash.
ionable head dress among the ladies, all over
the country:
"The Lancet, a medical journal of high
authority, initiated 90 attack upon the mod.
ern hobby Of far ladies By emphasizing q ~
ture and origin Of chignons. 1t stated that
the hair from which these monstrosities are
ohiefly constructed comes from Russia, and
il grown upon the heads of the Burlakes,
who were described as the lowest order Of
Russian peasants. One paragraph reads
thus: when the Buriake goes out in the
spring, he perhaps puts clean shirt on, but
he decidedly never takes it of until he re>
turns home in autumn. The whole account
is of the most repulsive character, and can
hardly be written in language ft TO read, but
the sum and substance of the article was, that
this hair contains the rudments of certain
well Known pdrasites. which require only the
d attn nj heat of the human body for develop>
ment into living animals, and that no lapse
Of time, and no chemical treatment, destroys
or even impairs their vitality. This article
being generally copied or referred TO by the
daily papers, you can well imagine the panic
that prevailed in May Fair and Relgraya.
The papers have since been full Of the sub
iect. The hair dealers and coifeurs OF
course declare the statement a falsehood,
while, on the other hand, several scientific
men have published the result of their
experiments on chignons and frtsettes
procured at the best establish
ments. The balance of the testimony is in
favor of the Lancets statement, and 1t is be-
heved that the silly fashion has received its
death. blow. If any Of yonr readers are
curious to know how the custom originated,
or how the fashion WAS first set, ! am in q
position to inform them. There WAS a cause
for it, as there was for the crfnoline, though

ing that the natural covering of her head was
gradually disappearing, bethought herselfo OF
a mode by which she might at least delay
the fatal hour when she must perforce resort
to wig. So she carefully combed her back
hair forward, so that after little training it
might do duty even as front curls, and sup
piled the deficiency at the bsse Of the occiput
with some foreign substance ingenisusly con
'cealed in and protected by a net. No one
would Of course think of questioning or dis
turbing the lady's back hair, and she could
defy even the most ardent lover to pet, or
even pull, her front curls with impunity.

From the Pittsburgh Di,patch.


From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The horrible deaths occurring in this and
other communities. from clamp explosions
caused by rascslity of some dealers in mixing
benzine or other cheap and infamsble sub
stances with petroleum, and selling the same
as Illuminating ola, induced the press to
take a decided stand in favor of some
enactment which would render such dealers
responsible for their murderous acts. In the
Investigations and experiments made in this
city, BY coroner jury in the csse of young
| lady who had lost her life by lamp exrlo-
sion, ii was demonstrated that most of the oil
| sold here fell below the standard at which it
| is known to be absolutely safe. Only one
sample was examined which came up TO the
| fire test of one hundred and ten degrees.
Some of the samples ran as low as eighty FIVE
degrees. The subject was one of such vast
! importance to the State aad the Nation, that
restraining legislation was absolutely neces-
sary. Our State Legislature has endeavored
to frame law to punish those who endanger
the lives Of the public by selling highly ex-
posive oils, but as yet they have failed to
pass suitable bill. Congress, however, has
taken cognizance of the matter, and section
twenty nine OF the revised Internal Revenue
Law reads as follows.
/
son shall mix for sale nspths and Illuminating
oils, or shall knowingly sell or keep for sale
or offer for sale such mixture, or shall sell
or offer for sale oil made from petroleum for
Illuminating purposes, inhamsble at less tenn
perature or FIRE test than one Numbered and ten
degrees Fahrenheit, and any person SO doing
shall be held 70 be guilty of q Inisdemeanor,
and on conviction thereof by indictment or
presentment in any court of the United
States, having competent jurisdiction, shall
be punished by fine not less than 500 nor
more than $500, and by imprisonment for a
term not less than six months nor more than
three years.
| 1t seems to us that the sbeve short ensct>
ment is all that is required, provided 1t 10
properly enforced The risk which dealer
will run, in offering Gil of grade below the
stansrd of safety, ought TO deter him from
the act, In case of injury or death, from the
explosion of oil. criminal charge could be
preferred against the party selling the oil and
one or two convictions under the act would
put sn end to the dangerous traffic.

The Forelgn-Rern citizen.

The approaching election in this State
is fraught with great interests to the for
eign- born citizen, on account of the Rad
ical efforts to make the Negro his supe-
rior in exercising the elective franchise
and holding Office. No foreigner is eli
gible to the office of President of the
United States, while the, Radicals by their
Negro enactments, and their proposed
amendment to the Constitution in the
State, would make the worthless Negro
the foreigners superior by declaring him
eligible to the Office Of President. e
In view of this heartfelt desire of the
Radicals Ga renewalof Know Nothingism
5under another name,) to degrade the for.
Ieign- born below the Negro, politically, ne
foreigner should neglect to take out hi
final papers of naturalization, before tn
