FALSE HAIR.-There is CONSERVATION,
says an exchange, among the wearers OF
false hair in Europe. A Russian pro-
fessor, NJ. Lindemann, has observedtha a
&c per cent. of the false hair used for
ehignon, (wsterfalls) and similar pur-
poses in Russia is infested with a para
site, to which gregarinous hair, it is
said, is very like other hair in appear
ance, but on close inspection little dark
brown knots are seen at the free end OF
the hair, and may even be distinguished
by the naked eye. These are gregarines.
They are not easily destroyed. They
resist the effects Of drying, and even OF
boiling. Acids, alkalies, ether, and
other agents would kill thsmi but these
would be injurious to the hair and so can
not be used. According to N. Linde-
mann, in q ballroom the gregarines ire
vive, grow, and multiply BY dividing
into many parts; these fly about tho
ballroom in millions, get inhaled, drop
on the refreshments-in fact, enter the
interior of people BY hundreds Of ways,
and thus reach their specific gregarian
development" We do not answer for
the truth Of all this natural history; but
when the natural history of ehignon'
themselves is considered, it may well be
all true. In Russia the hair of them is
generally supplied by the peasant wo-
men of the Mordwines and the Burlakes,
near the Volga, who do a large trade in
it. "When the Burlake goes out to
work in the Spring, he perhaps puts a
clean shirt on, but he decidedly never
takes it of until he returns homo in Au.
tumn." So says NJ. Lindemann, and he
argues here is a fine chance for para
sites. We must leave the subject with
ladies and naturalists, but beg them to
be careful tphose false hair they wear.

THE RAILROAD CONSTRUCTOR. The
San Francisco Bulletin of April 9th thus
refers to another experiment with this
machine:
Another experiment with the railroad
constructor was made yesterday after
noon, in the presence of engineers and
other gentlemen interested in railroads,
and the performance Of the machine,
though propelled by hands instead of
steam, was regarded by all present as
e~minently satisfactory. The first six
lengths Of rails and ties were laid, in
Guiding delays, at the rate of 1000 feet
in ten hours. This was the work Of ten
men, besides the four turning the crank,
and half of the time the rail-layers and
spike-drivers were standing idle. En-
r%ineers on the ground declared that il
It were possible for the men at the crank
to exercise continuously the force they
used for the first twenty minutes yester-
day, this machine would, with all the
advantage of hand-power, instead Of a
ten-horse steam engine, lay more track
in twenty-four hours than the Pacific
Railroad Company are doing with 300
men engaged working night and day.
At the conclusion of the experiment the
following note was written by an en-
| rincer, who had no connection with the
invention, and signed by several gentle
men of the same profession:
"The undersigned, civil engineers,
have this day witnessed a trial Of Rob-
ertson's railroad track-laying machine,
and take pleasure in pronouncing it, as
far as this trial went, in distributing
materials for a railroad track, its value
is very great. We see no reason why il
should not do all that is claimed for it.
Signed Richard P. Hammond, 7. r.
Brooks, William Epler, William Mober-
ly, B. P. Drummer, and others"

PARIS WEDDING INCIDENT. -

A PARIS WEDDING INCIDENT. The

crowd that gathered outside to see the
splendid bridal party, was a miserable
beggar about twelve years old. Now in
Paris every one who has not something
to sell is carried off to the police house
If they stop in the streets as this one
did-and accordingly IN officer was just
asking her If she had anything to dis
pose Of, and the poor thing was trem-
bling in every limb for fear Of imprison-
ment, when q sweet little girl, q sister
of the bride, happened to oyerhear tho
policeman as she passed by, and to save
the poor girl, she quickly passed in ner
haad a superb bouquet she was carrying
and answering for her said, "fes, sne
has these flowers, but she askstoo much
and cannot buy them" AS she turn
cd to go on, an old gentleman, who saw
and understood it all, stepped forward,
and putting a gold piece in the poor
child's hand, remarked, 81 will give
twenty francs for it," and presented II
to the smiable little angel whose good
ness had been more fragrant and bean.
hful than the choicest blossom that
over graced q garden. *

A NICE PLAc1.-If we are to believe
the statements Of its own papers, Col
umbus, the proud capital of Ohio, mus
have streets that are even more inviting
than some of those in our widely re-
nowned city of mud. Under the caption
of "gone under" the StGtesmdn gives US
the following:
We were out High street, north OF
Tod Barracks, yesterday, and saw sit
ting on q fence an individual with a
whip in his hand, and a most woe-be-
gone expression Of c~ountenance. His
appearance excited our sympathy, and
We addressed him, asking what great
grief was heaving his manly bosom,
why he looked so sad. STRANGER" ne
said, pointing to the street, "do you see
that ere hog wallerF" On u assuring
him that it was visible without specta-
cles, he continued: "Well, stranger,
I've got a wagon and four mules down
there somewhere" He'll find 'em when
the street dries up.
How fortunate that the streets of Gold
Hill have never been in such q condi-
ton as the Buckeye State capital c
street, Virginia city, from the Divide
northward to Bill Byrd's Hair Rejuvena-
ting palace, for a month past has pre-
sented q sight equal to Columbus, Ohio.
