CHANGE OF HAIR.-The hair is now
dressed high, and rich spray of tiow-
ers placed across the crown of the head,
resting against the coil or plait of hair
which is newer than the chignon.
Dark hair is said to be the fashion now
in Paris; therefore blondes are dying
their golden tresses, and those brunettes
who lately bleached their locks are re-
storing them to their early honors. All
these processes are very foolish, and
destroy the hair. When the ladies are
nearly bald they will regret their vani-
ty and want of sense too late.

Duties of Soldiers.

A CERTAIN Confederate regiment that
served during the war in the Western De-
partment was commanded until after the
battle of Murfreesboro' by colonel who
was foreigner by birth, but soldier by
choice and education He never learned
to use good English, but he had short
way of expres sing himself in impetuous
exclamatiops that was quite as effective in
conveying his conclusions as his prac-
ticed sword was in disabling an adversary.
This anecdote is attributed to him Once,
when some general officers were hesitating
about making an important but desperate
movement, on account of the loss of life
it was likely to involve, he, happening to
be present, bawled out What, kill sol
dier! What soldier made for? Soldier
paid to be killed, py tamil"
AT the battle OF Murfreesboro', when q
certain brigade was ordered forward, on
Wednesday, to assist in the attack on the
Federal right, the regiment commanded
by the foreign officer referred to- met with
such furious reception from the boys of
the West" as they prided in calling them
selves, that it wavered, and was on the
point of falling into confusion, when, it is
said, he instantly brought the men to a
sense of their duties and responsibilities
bv dashing madly along the line, bran
dlshing his sabre over their heads, and
shouting at the top of bis voice: "Go up
tab, men Go up tab By tam, do you
aoant to ls0e a1ao0ys ?"-Drdsoer, Harper's
