A Paris paper tells the following anec-
dote of Lord Gray, of Gray, whose death
has caused so much regret in the English
society of that capital:
Lord Gray was one evening returning
from his club, when he perceived the loss
of his pocket-book, containing forty bank
notes of ,O0Of. each (tl ,600). Lord Gray
searched the pockets of his greatcoat, but
in vain. He quietly returned home. Next
morning his servant went to his room at an
early hour and informed him that lady
in deep mourning wished to speak to him.
Lord Gray desired that she should be
shown into his drawing-room. My Lord,
said his visitor, you dropped your pocket
book containing 40 ,000f.; bring it back to
you." The voice was sweet and low, but
so closely was the lady yelled that 1T was
impossible to guess her age or appearance.
"Madam," replied Lord Gray, "you
have rendered me q service for which
heartily thank you. Allow me to ask If l
may venture to offer you some remem-
brance of my gratitude. The lady then
hesitatingly confessed that she had recent
" lost her husband, whose death had left
her the charge of three little children, and
that so utter was her restitution she had
actually been tempted to keep the pocket
book. Lord Gray returned it to her, merely
saving: Your are my creditor-you or
your children will repay me later" Lord
Gray received visitor five years after
this scene occurred, who appeared total
stranger to him. 1t was a lady. She
handed him a velvet portmonnaie, on
which his CIPHER and coronet were en-
broidered in gold within lay forty notes
of l,O00f. "You will allow me to retain
the old purse in memory Of your munif-
cent generosity" she replied.

Here is story about the North German
elections: A coachman of Stettin was
asked by his wife which of the candidates
he had voted for. 81 don't KNOW" was
the reply, "as the voting was secret" On
being pressed to explain what he meant by
secret voting, he added that each voter had
got his voting paper in sealed envelope,
which he had put into the voting urn with
out reading its contents.

WoMEN's FoREHEAps.--Anex exchange has
the following paragraph on the subject OF
womcn's foreheads:
When phrenology first began to attract
attention, and claimed to be science, hieh
forehesds OF women as well as men were
associated with intellects. Every member
Of the opnesite sex, however dull or I'M
cultivated she may be, admires mental
0iffs ard has no objection TO the reputa-
tion of possessing them herself. Conse-
ouently she determined to have the SEEM
ing if not the reality, and stripped her
forehead Of clustering tresses, and even
removed the hair by artificial means, that
she might present front which would
wake the enthusiasm of Gall or Spursheim.
For number Of years this mania for high
foreheads ragged, in spite Of the patent fact
that they detracted from feminine lowell
ness, giving it hard, bold, masculine ex-
preston that should be sedulously avoided.
All the classic models Of beauty, whe-
Their in marble or in flesh, from the Venus
and Phryne down to the Marys of Raphael
and Msgdalens Of Murillo, the picturesque
damsels of the Campagna and the classic
Suliote maidens, instead Of high had quite
low Notwithstanding our own women
seem at last to have discovered.
Horace and Catullus and Ovid all sang
of the fair, fond creatures whose white fore
heads cleaned like the crescent moon
beneath the dark cloud of silken hair.
Artists have so painted feminine beauty,
Men Of taste and gallantry have admired
such. Phrenology has ceased to be con-
nected with aesthetic subjects; and there
fore we have returned to nature and 10
art.
Indeed, the passion now is rather for ex-
ceedingly low foreheads for hair over the
temples and lovelocks that shade the lustre
of deep eyes. This is rather overdone
but still il is preferable to lofty foreheads
and stripped brows that make the face
more fitting for a Roman senator than
gentle, tender, womanly woman. Every
man of taste must rejoice that something
like an approximation to the old models
and the correct standard of feminine love.
illness has been established; and that We
are no longer panied with
high white fronts that tell of power
Which ne'er is fashioned by the gentle heart

ment, and accused him, among other things, Of
usurpation Of power In his North Carolina proc
lamation, and In the submission Of the oonstitu-
tional amendments to the States In the South.
Mr.. Mungen, Of Ohio. asked II Congress had
not passed the amendments referred to, and
presented them TO the Southern States for their
ratification.
Mr.. Lawrsuee replied negatively, but said the
amendments had been unlswfully submitted TO
the South by the PreJideut's Secretary Of State.
In continuation, Mr.. Lawrence proceeded to
explain what he considered were the acts Of
usurpation Of the resident, aud he said he still
demanded Impeachment. The President would
have been liable to . charge Of usurp,tion
though he had done aoU which he believed for
the best, but which wore illegal even II he had
submitted the matter to Congress for their &c.
tion.
NJ Wilson, Of Iowa desired to know whether
Mr.. Lawreroe would still claim that the Presi.
dent wa, liable to impeach mont for usutpatiop
Of power, II he had done acts illegal In them.
selSe, but which tended to the exact result
aimed at By the Congress Of the United States.
Mr.. Lawrence replied that In his Judgment be
would be so liable, and he would vote to im.
peach any President who would DO guilty OF any
usurpstion OF power. He would impesoh any
ohlcer who exercised authority unwarranted By
law.
Mr.. Wilson asked him how he could reconcile
hb Noto LOT tue tnucmnity pth WIN Tue NieW no
had just eS pressed.
Mr.. Lawrence could not see any great di.
versity Of sentiment in the two acts. The In.
dsmnity act was, according TO bis view, simply
for the purpose Of protecting officers who had
done acts which were In themselves legal.
Mr.. Wilson asked what reason there was then
fo- the indemnity act.
Mr.. Lawrence replied that II was TO protect
them sgainst suits In codrts, the judges Of which
might hold different views.
Mr.. Lawrence then continued at length in
denuncistiou Of the acts Of the President 4
was frequently interrupted by question 10
pounded by different members, aud . RUM. :
debate was kept up, In which the whole question
Of the responsibility Of the President and Of his
Cabtuet was gone over again.
Mr. Lawrence concluded his speech at 4 80,
when
Mr.. Ella, Of New Hampshire. took the floor,
and proceeded also to make = sps'ch OF i'm.
peachment.
A. 5.l5, Mr. Kerr, OF Ind. took the floor, and
proceeded to addItsl the Hodie upon the sub
jeot Of the distribution OF tho power Of the
country judicially. He spoke very briefly,
however.
Mr.. Baker, Of Ill, obtained the aoor, but
gsvs way for q motion that tho committee rise,
aud at 20, p. m, the House adjourned until
Monday.
