AMysterious Hair Cutter.

The Euansuille (Ind.) Courier tells the fol-
lowing marvellous story:
One of the most mysterious circumstan-
ces we have ever seen recorded, occurred in
Goodsellville yesterday morning-a wo-
mans hair being cut from her head by an
unknown hand. We learn the following
particulars of this strange affair from
gentleman who saw the hair which was
cut from the lady's head: "As Miss Meyer,
q daughter of j. Meyer, residing in Good
sellville, was going up in a stable lott for
some purpose or other, when half way up
the ladder she felt something touch her on
the back OF the head, She paid no attention
to this, but continued her way up. Again
she felt it more and more sensibly-this
time feeling keen cut through her hair.
She fell to the floor of the stable with
sharp scream, which brought the family to
her rescue. On examination it was dis
covered that the braids of her hair had
been cut otf-her hair being done up in two
braids. The hair was cut about four inches
from the skin, and could not have been done
with scissor. as she would have felt that
instrument. The family, on coming to the
girls assistance, searched the premises, but
could find nobody or nothing to indicate
there was an opening on the inside, throuGh
which a person could jump out. The Young
lady herself neither saw nor heard anv
thing. The braid of her hair was found
afterward in the stable. 1t had the appear-
ance OF being cut even, and with a sharp
instrument. This is indeed strange case $
Good-seu-ville" is very proper place
for such an occurrence.

Revolutions About Port Wine.

Sturdy John Bull, who loves his glass Of
port wine at dinner, was lately shocked by
cerCain unpleasant revelations from Lyt-
ton, the British Secretary of Legation at
Lisbon, who gave a detailed account of the
adulterations to which that liquor is sub
jected. A second report on the same sub
Ject makes the case still more unpleasant; :;
for MIR. Lytton says that "all port wine
hitherto exported for the English market
is largely mixed with brandy, and is
composed almost quite as much of eld-
erberries rs of grapes" The truth seems
to be that brandy is largely used, and
elderberries are used to the ex-
tent requisite for giving the desired color,
but not to the extent of considerably in
creasing the quantity of wine. The report
goes on to state that the elderberries are
dried in the sun or in kilns. The wine is
thrown on them, and the berries are trod :
den till the coloring matter is extracted
from them. Brandy is then added in pro-
portion which varies according to the quail
ity of the wine. This is the composition
of all the port wine hitherto drank in Eng
land" No pure wine, no wine not thus
specially aduiterated for the English taste,
was allowed by the Government committee
OF tasters to pass the bar OF the Douro for
export to England before the year 1865.
This system was in that year abolished.
The trade is now perfectly free, and there
is no reason why pure wine should not be
exported.
An English paper offers a suggestion
which is somewhat comical: The truth
probably is that port is naturally strong
wine. and the best vintages are the strong
est. The produce of particular years which
is affectionately preserved and reverently
consumed in England, did contain an unu-
sually large proportion of what we call
body" which appears to mean spirit and
nrn fl,N1 1+, H..
ing been thus fixed by an extraordinary
effort of nature, the growers have deemed
it their duty to keep nature as near to this
standard as possible by the aid of art.

The History of a Banker.

The death of Eustaquio Barron, the cell
ebrated English banker of the City of Mex
icu, has alreaky been announced. His his
tory was remarkable. The vast haciendas
of the Escalera and the Cristo in the valley
of Mexico belonged to his firm: the famous
quicksilver mines of the New Almaden in
California has been his property; he was a
shareholder in the silver mines of Real del
Monti; he had large estates and cotton
factories at Tepic and San Bias. Of San
Bias he was once British consul, and he
used to spend about twenty times
his salary in hospitality to the Eng
lishmen who came that way. He was
twice millionaire. and was one of the
foremost bankers in Mexico; 'and yet"
Mr.. Barron was accustomed to observe,
'when l come to England not half dozen
people know who L am" In the United
States. however, he was celebrated as the
plaintiff in famous lawsuit against the
United States Government, which had
seized upon the negocio of the New Alma
den, although victorious in the Supreme
Court at Washington, was fain at last to
compound the Barron claim for a million
and three quarters of dollars.
The BarrOns were an ancient Roman
Catholic family from Ireland, and settled in
Spain during the last century. Mr.. Bar
ron's father emigrated to Mexico about
forty years since, founded the great house
which bears his name, and gained a colos-
sal fortune. The New Almaden was liter
ally mime of wealth. to him.
