An English paper gives the following
sketch of fashionable life at Homburg
ut is ii o'clock, and the world at HON.
burg has been up for FIVE hours already.
Certainly the waters possess one virtue,
that of rendering early rising compu-
sorry. But, excepting the majority Of
quiet visitors, who neither frequent the
fountains nor the tables-whicb, by the
way, have most dead and painful ap-
pesrauce before the play has begun
and who enjoy the gardens snd the Nv
ers, the aromatic air and the splendid
prospects for their own sake, 1t Is not
until about three o'clock in the after
noon that the Kursas grounds are
alive and bright again. Then they
hush up; then the butterty's feast
commences; then lie Follet unfolds
its pages then we know of surety
what are really the last sweet things
in hats and trimmings, for this is the
dress time of the day. Three changes
in twelve hours are considered sufficient,
aud some do not even comply with this
simple rule. The ton has been led by an
appsrion from Vienna, very young, very
small, very pretty, with an afuence of
golden hair, usually escorted by ter
rife Prussian officer, whose stupid face
tries to put on an expression of pride
as he bends himself nearly double to
give her his arm. With these heroes,
undress on such occasions is the rule.
Few girls, however vivacious, would like
to be seen promenading even the glades
of the Kursaal Gardens day by day with
spiked helmet, so the fat cap is worn,
which confuses the aspect of all official
ism in Prussia, and causes you to mis-
take policeman for a sub-lieutenant,
and q railway superintendent for any
magni6cence your mind may wander to.
Well, the lady being German, will not
read this, and if she did, would be
glad to know the company hate and
half admire her, so there is no imperti
neuce in putting upon the record the
observations of three days. First: Eight

Lord Ranelagh and the Beautiful For
AVER" A me, Rachel.

Lord Ranelagh has addressed letter
to the members Of the South Middlesex
rife corps, in explanation OF his connec-
ton with Nine. Rachel, in which he says !;
1t has been my misfortune to have been
singled cut of a great number of gentle
men who, for th9 idlest of curloslties,
strolled occasionally into Nine Rachel s
shop. wish here to affirm most solemnly
that the insinuations that have been
thrown out-that her ostensible trade was
cloak or adjunct to one even less
reputabe--bore no shadow of founda-
tion as far as | am concerned, ner, after
diligent inquiry from others, have L
heard a whisper of the slightest i'm mmoral'
ity attaching itself to her establishment.
On one occasion of my going there
then, as always, in the open day have
a recollection, though very indistinct
one, of being annoyed at the vulgarity OF
Nine. Rachel in mentioning my name as
for introduction to an old-looking female
mufl ed up in wells, but whose person and
name did not remain in my memory.

British and Pacific steamers at the other
end of the line. Again, it is expected
that another OF these coast steamers, on
the north side. will take in Samaria,
Puerto Plata, Monte Christa and Port au
Prince, in Hayti, where it will connect
with the French and Mexican lines as
well as with the Cuban steamers. This
island has hitherto left an awkward gap
in the steam communication of the West
Indies, but this new arrangement com
pletes the entire circle Of interchange
between the Antilles, Europe and the
United States. The enterprise will be OF
incalculable advantage to the American
and European mining companies which
are organizing to work the Dominican
mines. In this connection | may state
that there is no reason why New England
should not supply nearly ali the cotton
fabrics used in tropical America, and
the Middle States send here millions
each year of their provisions and other
products, if the United States Govern
ment would bestow but q 1.-THE OF that
interest in the advancement OF her trade
and introduction of her products into
other climes, so literally bestowed oy
certain European nations. -,
The success of the recent loan and the
establishment of the steam line Jlbes well
with the projected mining survey OF the
Dominican territory, which will be united
as soon as the rains cease. l may men,
ton here a little incident as indicative
of the mining prospects in st. Domingo
When DR.. Adilberg, the State geologist'
made his first tour of scientific observa-
ton he requested the natives at certain . !,
points to wash out the grains OF golo
| from designated quantity OF earth, II II

and since then at least one hundred
ounces have been brought to this city Tor

first on the plan of survey, but the
mining sites will not be opened for claim
ants before the first of January.
The commerce of the country contin'
ues as dull as ever. There is but one
vessel in port from the United States.
The Laura Bell, schooner from Boston,
arrived on the 9Th with provisions. She
will take b back woods from the coast.
The schooner Dos Amigos arrived
here on the 7th from Jacomel. She

Prim and q Spanish Rabble.

Prim has to deal with people unused
to liberty, tickle and rash. When the
provisional Junta had established itself
at Madrid, Perez, Gonzales Bravo's pri-
vate secretary, had the efrontery.to to pre-
sent himself at the palace and ask rein
statement in the public service. Dis
missed with scorn, he was passing to his
house, when he was unfortu nately recog
nized by a passer by. who cried out:
"Wbat you scoundrel; is it you ?" to
which Perez arroganily replied: 1t is
you who are blackguard there is
nothing but canailles here" In a min
ute, "Muerte |" was the cry, and Perez
received severe wound from some one
who managed to get at him between the
men composing his guard. The latter
contrived, however, TO protect him par.
tally as far as his house, into which he
rushed frantically, all that could be seen
of him being bald head with an ugly
streak of blood crossing it. The popular
tribune, Rubio, attempted to quiet the
mob, but all was of no avail-Rubio's
voice was drowned in the uproar, and the
yells of "Muerai Muera shouted by
ten thousand voices, we're shortly empha-
sised by charge upon the door, which
was carried by storm, aud, in minute
or two, the mob reappeared carrying
their prey, death stamped on his face.
They bore him along as far as the CEN
ter of the Puerto del Sol, where they
dropped him, and fell upon him
, like tigers. Before they could quite
dispatch him, however, he was rescued
by the national guard, and hurried into
the palace, while the multitude, baffl I'd of
their vengeance, howled wofishly at him
and his escort. Prim alone could turn
aside this torrent of hundred thousand
wrathful men, and he did it, appearing
on the balcony and making a sharp,
stern and denunciatory speech to the
rioters, accusing them of disgracing
themselves and the cause Of liberty. 10
fifteen minutes they had dispersed
ashamed and cewed by the grand old
man. But that was not the end. 1t was
| proposed to serenade Prim in the even.
ing, and crowd was on hand. Bot the
General, appearing, told the serenaders
that, after the disgrsceful scenes of the
afternoon, he would not accept the com
pliment or any such futile expression of
a regard which could be better proved in
a thousand ways. The crowd was at first
disconnected; but presently the storm
gathered and broke, and for an hour
there were shouts of "Muerto Prim T.
uttered by throats yet hoarse from shout
ing in his honor.

the dark brown and lustrous black which
are found in that country, are quite val
liable. The golden hair, which has been
in such great demand, comes wholly from
Hollanc aud Germany.
Year by year, fashion has been de-
mandipg an increased quantity of hair,
and it has now become SO expensive, that
only the wealthy can obtain it. The
substitutes are composed of various ar
ticles, sleeps wool having been largely
used for frizettes; and the chignon,
which has usually been made of the
wearer's own hair, combed over sup
port. is now frequently made OF pre-
pared silk, which, when seen under q net,
cannot always be distinguished from
natural hair. True golden hair of great
length will command any sum the owner
likes to put upon it. Perfectly white harris
also of great value. Locks of this nature
have been sold as high as $l25. Convent
hair-the kind which has formed such a
large share of the Italian and Spanish
supply--is coming into market in Eng
land. The hair of'female convicts and
paupers in Great Britain goes into the
general stock. The lady who buys q
coil of hair to exc out her own, little
thinks of the various sources from which
it may come Not only the nun, the
French or German peasant, or the fe-
male outcast, may have contributed to
highteu her charms, but the plunder of
the churehyard and the loose hair re-
moved by the comb and picked out OF
the dust-heaps of Paris, may mingle
with her tresses 1t is said that
the artificial methods of hair
dressing prevalent about a CEN
tury ago will soon become fashionable.
Photographic portraits of them are ex-
hibited and imitated-extreme hight in
the toilette being the principal thing
aimed atone of the most elaborate
closely resembling pineapple in shape.
Societies of hair dressers meet weekly in
London to exhibit their skill, and prizes
are awarded to the most profcient-the
object being to inaugurate fashions that
eau only be carried out by the profess
sional hair-dresser, who thus enlarges his
income. The amount of time and money
lavished on this branch of fashionable
adornment, even in our own country, is
marvellous.

A singular cargo was recently reported
as having arrived at Hsvre. The French
ship Prophete, from Vera Cruz, it was
said. came there laden entirely with
human hair. The hair in question was
almost all black, and was said to consist
chiefly of the scalps of people of native
Mexican tribes. The account given OF
it was, that when the French army was
iu Mexico, many of the natives fed before
them in terror, first hiding, in caves and
in the woods, the bones of their ancestors
and the trophies they had worn In war:
Among the latter, none are more sacred
than the scalps of their enemies with the
long hair attached and some smart
French spectators, by the aid OF a
little bribery, coutrived to discover
the place where these deposits were
concealed. The result was an expor-
tation of hair to France, which Is
expected at once to cause fali IN the
price of false hair in the great French
marts of Brittany, Normandy and Au-
yergue. The announcement OF this ter
rible report of the arrival of hair thus
procured, startled the fashionable hair
dressers, and shocked the fair bellies who
read it. A little rehsction, however,
convinced them that probably there is
not sufficient human hair in all Mexico
TO compose full ships cargo, and that
such precious freight could never
really have arrived. On examination 1t
was found that a South American ship
had arrived at Havre with consign ment
of hides and horse-hair The latter,
done up in bales, had been mistaken for
Mexican hair.
The supply Of human hair is very lin
tied. and the demand for 1t IS becoming
excessive. In the present rigors OF fash
ion large proportion Of the women wear
false hair, either in the shape OF luxurl'
ant locks, which the rich only can com
maud, or in frizettes, or in the founda.
lions of chignons. The hair growth oi
the human race is, OF course, only lin
ited though steady quantity. Ii cannot
be materially stimulated by sri The
chief sources Of supply are France, Ger
many. Italy and Holland. In France
and Germany the trade has been estab.
I;sbed for centuries Hair is there grown

ner as fleece is grown with US. Dealers
