tons. When death ensues the hair becomes
brittle, and cannot be curled and twisted into

trade IN human hair, more than 40,uOO pounds

annually, chiefly from Italy, and more pariic-
ularly from Sicily. Naples. and the States OF
the Church, while a moderate quantity comes
from Spain and certain departments OF France
The French provinces which yield the largest
supply are Brittany and Auvergne, and buy
ers go round on market days, when the young
demoiselle who wishes to dispose Of her locks
mounts wine cask, and. loosening her head
dress, showers down her hair. An active bId-
ding follows. As the weight OF haIr IN an ordI-
nary chignon does not exceed three ounces and
a half, the annual quantity imported into Mar
settles alone would be sufficient for upwards
OF 10000 head dresses. A large quantity of
the hair arriving At this port is there made MP

How TO INDUCE EMIGRATIoN-Itis stated
that a farmer of TyrrelI county, in this State
being possessed of a large estate, and not being
able TO obtain labor, adopted the following
plan TO induce laborers 10 cultivate it. He
measured off ten lots of fifteen or twenty acres
each, and built plain but comfortable cottages
upon them. He then went 10 New York ana
easily obtained ten good men with families
having offered 10 settle them upon his estate
upon the following conditions They were to
work for him AT fixed valuation for their
services for four days in each week until their
wages amounted TO the value of their lots of
land with the houses thereon. The other two
days they worked on their own account and
this time was ample 10 cultivate whatever thew
could raise, the employer furnishing the teams
they needed on those days. These were the
chief points IN the engagement. The result of
this contract was that the farmers lands were
better worked, and with less trouble to him

ST. THOMAS MANOR AND THE CHAPEL AND
THE CHURCH AT CHAPEL POINT MD, DE-
sTROYED BY FIRE.-We regret to learn that the
ancient colonial manor house of st. Thomas
Manor, at Chapel Point, Charles county, Md,
together with its old chapel and more modern
church edifce connected with il. have been
destroyed by fire, the particulars of which we
have not learned. The manor house was built
we believe, in 1873, or thereabouts. and the
chapel contained a relic Of the times when
Mary land was not As tree in matters of con-
science as her founders made her, for from il
10 neiehboring valley. there was a secret
subterranean passage for the escape of the
priest If surprised by the agents of the law
while celebrating mass. Had the buildings
been fully insured, the loss Of so fine a speci-
men of colonial architecture, and SO interesting
memorial OF colonial times, would have been
a great loss to the people of the country aud
the State; but there was moi a cent OF ins rance
on the thousands of its value and as so large
and elegant mansion is not now needed at
that point, ST. Thomas, as a seat of baronial
hospitality, is probably numbered with the
things Of the past.-Alez. Gazette.
