JENKINS ABOUT HAIR.

Do you know that gray hair is the
acme of ambitious attainment for society
women just now? 1t is charming, it is
adorable. Those who are so fortunaLa-as
to possess a profusion of it puff it a Ia
Martha Washington, and wear a ravish-
ing pink rose just over the ear. Or else q
point lace bdrbe fastened by an aigrette of
diamonds. Or else white plume held
by button of pearls. Danes of blonde
or raven hair powder it profusely, and
are there with much annoyed. For the
powder Sits gradually over pretty cos
tunes and bare shoulders and lodges IN
pleasantly in delicate eyebrows. A hand
some young gentleman of the press has
magnificent mass of half, gray as the
wing of an cider duck. To match this
beauty of his, his pretty brunette wife in
variably powders her dusky hair, making
her look like a stately belle of Lely's
evOking. Madame Jessie Fremont has
the prettiest gray hair of any woman in
society. 1t lies in great soft waves upon
her handsome brow, above the brilliant
eyes. 1t flutters, and twines, and curls
around her statuesque white throat, and
its heavy coil continually weayes magic
charm before the appreciative eyes of
those already taken captive by her graci-
BUSINESS and perfect ease of demeanor.
This is ''flowery speech, but it's true.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE ONEIDA
DISASTER.

Mr.. Raphael Pumpelly, in his interest
ing book of travels "AcrOss America and
Asia speaks of the recklcssness of for
eign vessels in navigating the Japanese
and Chinese waters. He says it is no IN
common thing for European steamers to
to run into native craft in that part of the
world, and pass on without stopping to
INQUIRE what damage was done or to res
cue lives in jeopardy. While going up
one of the Chinese rivers in foreign
steamer, a native boat containing four or
five persons was run over by her, cut to
pieces, and all on board probably perish
ed, but the captain of the steamer kept
on his course as if nothing hadhappcned.
Such heartless occurrences as these, MIR.
Pumpelly proceeds to say, make foreign
ers of all nationalitics hated by the
Chinese people, and we should think they
would. The New York Journal of Com
7lercc is not sure but that the Captain and
other officers of the Bombay must have
thought that the Oneida was only some
Japenese or Chinese vessel, which could
be sent to the bottom with impunity, and
that it was foolish waste of time to stop
and see what injury was inflicted, or what
lives were in danger at the time of the
late disaster. At any rate, says the Jour
nal, we suggest this as "a possible explana-
ton of the cold-blOoded conduct of the
Captain of the Bombay in not bringing
his steamer to and showing some solicit
tude for the condition of the vessel with
which he had collided-though, of course,
this does not mitigate in the least the
brutality of his Indifference. We can
hardly conceive that he would have dared
to defy public opinion in that way, had
the collision occurred on the Atlantic or
any other ocean navigated exclusively by
European or American vessels.
