Don't mistake our meaning, ladles,-we do
not now refer to the looks of the thing, though
we incline to think no person with the slight
est pretensions to good taste would think of
denying that those buley, exaggerated excres-
cences are horror,-the most monstrous, alb
surd and disfguring invention that ever serv-
ed to turn pretty girl into fright. 1t is not
now with us question Of taste, but we refer
to the startling discovery just made by sci
ence, of horror In the clinon-the exist
ence there of countless myriads of undeveL
oped but most disgusting and dangerous para
sites, which remain attached to the hair and
are liable at any time to be quickened into
bale ul activity by exposure to temperature
somewhat higher that usual. 1t is well known
that large portion of the imported hair used
in the manufacture of chignons is taken from
dead bodies, and it is believed that these par
asites have their origin in the conditions thus
Induced. How do you like the idea, ladies ?
Is it pleasant subject OF contemplation that
you are carrying round on the back of your
heads a mass of hair cut from the head of
some dead hospital patient, or at best OF some
criminal before her execution; and that its
roots are covered with the germs OF millions
of these loathesome little gregarines which
the heated air OF a ball-room-or even read
ing too long in close proximity to strGng
gas-lisht-may at any time develope into q
crawling, living swarm? One English write,
states that he obtained some hair from a !tig
mon, purchased at fashionable hair-dresser's
discovered innumerable specimens OF "grega-
rines" at the free end of the hair as nearly as
he could estimate about thousand in hal
an inch, anu ne calls them "Epizoa," term
applied to parasites oil an animal nature
He then proceeded to develope themby means
of warmth. ''Some of the hairs were bound
around the neck of a hen, and at the end OF
six hours most extraordinary change in the
ova appeared TO have taken place. The hairs
were swarming with the released epizoa; near
ly all, indeed, were more or less detached from
the envelope, and presented many of the un-
mistaka5le peculiarities of the pediculus h,t-
mani capitis." If any lady shouH chance not
to know what sort of insect this last is, the
steerage of an immigrant ship wih afford her
a fine opportunity for informing herself
But we do not suppose that anything which
can be said on the subject will prevent the
wearing of these things by the ladies'. They
are very apt to show the true spirit of the
martyrs in Obeying the dictates of Fashion
and if that capricious goddess DEGREES that
chignons shall yet be worn, worn they will be
despite all the warnings of science and the
newspapers. Only if our fair readers will
persist in wearing these animated monstrosi
ties, and such frightful consequences as we
have hinted do result, let no one lay them to
our charge. We have spoken.

The Floods im the yVess.

The Evansville Journal says it is really pain
full to witness the great overflow that now pre-
walls on the Ohio river. From Evansville al
most to Newburg the wild waste OF waters has
no visible boundaries. The waters are pouring
across the neck of land between Evansville and
Henderson with great violence. Enterprise Is
totally submerged, but the people wisely pro
vided for such a contingency by building their
houses on stills about a foot higher than hiSn
water mark, and are in no special danser OF
being washed away. No intercourse, however,
can be held between neighborlns houses, ex-
cent in boats. Taylorsport, Rome. Alton, and
the lower portion of Cannelton were inundated,
and the residents were compelled to move to
tbe second story. Hundreds of houses along
tbe shore are partially submerged the inhabit-
am,s having been compelled to vacate Iu
,,,anv cases houses are standing ON a small ele-
vation entirely surrounded by water, the resi-
depts having no means of intercourse with the
rest OF pspkind except in boats There are no
river banks from Louisville to Cairo. On Gleen
river. also, az unprecedented flood prevails,
innndating nearly all the towns and villages.
The towns of Calhoun and Rumsey are sub
merged The Knoxville Commercial says that
East Tennessee is literally covered with mud.
The Holston river is over its bapks and inn
mense beds of flood wood are floating by.

Ex-Governor, now U. S. Senator Yates OF
Illinois, is one of the largest-hearted, NOBLE
sn;r;ted. ouick-witted men IN the West, but
,;Lo many other of our most brilliant men, he
has had a weakness for intoxicating drinks,
.nd sometimes indulged to an extent that
oopsed him to be noticed by his political OPP
ronents. Recently he signed the pledge, and
On Sunday evening, 17th ult, he made a
speech before the Congressional Temperance
society, from which we clip the following
sharp and characteristic: paragraph:
Somebody told me he saw in a Chicago pa
per the other day that since Governor Yates
had joined the temperance society whis key
had fallen ten cents on gallon. Well, that's
good. At all events, it's good news, for all
that ever kept my slanderers from orinL Ling
themselves to death pro homo publico, was the
high price of whiskey. We will bring it WIN
in their reach, for it will have to fan lnIcn Ln
