HAIR DYEs.-A French paper makes
some strange revelations in reference to
tbe use of hair dyes. 1t says:
"The mixture which produces that
reddish blonde tint, now so fashionable,
is q solution of corrosive drugs, into which
q nreparation of mercury enters. LOOs-
ching of the teeth, glandular swenings and
a fT}id breath are some of the evils to
which the fair who use it expose them
selves. The dark dyes are compounded of
Iitbarre. or oxide of lead, and quick lime,
with a few other chemicals. Now, seven
ner cent. of the patients at the insane
asylum. Charenton, are brought there by
the constant use of this hair dye, which
is absorbed through the skin into the sys-
tom It is stated that foulness of breath
ia one of the particular signs of insanity
caused by lead or litharge poison. Colo,
and driveling Stiffness, and finally tota
loss of memory, are among the Other
SYMPTOMS. The director of the Charen'
ton saws that if he were Judge he would
attach very little Importance to the evi
dence of any man or woman in the habi
of using hair dye"

FAR away among the Alleghanies, there
is a spring so small that single OK, in
summers day, could drain it dry. 1t
steals its unobtrusive way among the hills
till it spreads out into the beautiful Ohio.
Thence it stretches away thousand
miles, leaving on its banks more than a
hundred villages and cities and many a
cultivated farm, and bearing a half
a thousand steamboats,. Then joining
the Mississippi, it stretches away and away
sometwelve hunprcd miles more ill lit falls

of the greatest tributaries of the ocean,
which, obedicnt only TO God, shall roll

THE GREAT YACHT RACE.
The Cambria Comes i'm an Hour
ahead of the DauDtless.

Our dispatches yesterday briefly men
toned the success of the Cambria in the
great yacht race. Here are some further
particulars telegraphed from New York:
NEW YORK, July 27.-The excitement
here relative to the ocean yacht race is
very great this afternoon, and so many re-
ports made relative to the winning yacht
that for nearly two hours no body knew
whether the Cambria or Dauntless had
won. The first report was that the Daunt-
less had won, and extras of the evening
papers were got out to that effect. This
report was bogus, and telegraphed by
betting men from Sandy Hook with the
view of making money. In the city the
Cambria was first sighted from light
ship off Sandy Hook, five minutes past
three o'clock, under full sail and making
splendid Roadway.
Forty-fiVe minutes later the Dauntless
was sighted, the Cambria on the starboard
tack, the Dauntless on the larboard tack, the
wind blowing from the southeast gale,
which was much more advantageous to
the Dauntless, the Cambria being to
certain extent wind-locked. The Cambria
reached the light ship off Sandy Hook, at
46 minutes past s o'clock P. NJ, and the
Dauntless passed at 5 minutes past s, losing
the race by one hour and nineteen min
utes. During the morning it appears that
both yachts were in sight of each other
and in a dead calm; the sails of both yes
sells hung idly, neither could make any
progress. They were about twenty miles
apart when the wind came, and it was IA
vorable for the Cambria. During heavy
weather at sea the Cambria lost one man
overheard, but recovered him; she also
lost two of her light spars. The Daunt-
less lost two men overheard during tGet
storm, by which event it is said she lost
three hours time waiting to recover, II
possible, the men.
This accident occurred when three days
out from Kindale. The Cambria reports
head winds during all the passage, until
she reached Cape Race. Mr.. Ashbury
anchored his yacht in front of the New
York Yachtmen's Club House, at Staten
Island, and there awaited the coming OF
the Dauntless. Upon the arrival, the
English manned the yards of the Cambria
and gave round after round of cheers.
This evening both crews are having
grand time at the club houses. Speeches
are being made, fire works exploded, etc.

GREAT MEN TIE SECRET OF
THEIR SUCCESS.

From a lecture recently delivered by
the head master Of the Leeds School of
Art:
'sThe secret Of the success of great
men is that there is no secret at all; and
this is a secret which, though proclaimed
upon the hoUse-tOps before multitudes
of hearers, will always be believed
to be a secret, and for no better reason
than that it is the easiest and most
plausible way Of explaining the differ
cnce that we see 10 exist between our
seves and those we acknowledge to be
great. If we would fairly and honestly
take to the acknowledgment that while
we have slept, great men have worked;
while we have been self-indulgcnt
and prone TO luxury, they have
been sclf-denying and Injured TO
hardships, we should lose something
in the good opinion We have of ourselves;
but we should gain great deal in self
knowledge, and dispel a mystery that
should be no mystery at all. These seem
to be common elements Of character IN
all great men-almost the identical basis
of character in the one as the other, the
different vOCatiOns explaining any minor
differences that are TO be found in them.
Thus ] find precisely the same fca-
lures in the characters of Michael Angelo
and the Duke of Wcllington-two men,
| living three centuries apart, in different
countries-onc a great artist and one a
great warrior. In them, as in every in
stance have yet studied, this distinguish
ing feature is an intense love of work
work of the kind that fell to the lot of
each to do. Another featurcis ndOmitable
courage, and the last is a never-dying
perseverance,. Though l have carefully
studied the histories of many of the
greatest men, in order, if l could, to dis
cover the source of their greatness, and
l have never yet come upon one great
| life that has lacked these three features
love OF work, unfailing courage, and per.
severance"

WILLARD FRLLMORE-DANG
Gus WORK.

A Niagara correspondent of the New
York Sun says ex-President Fillmore
was at the Falls few days since. He
spoke of the danger of the usuTpatiOn of
powers by Congress. A recent case, he
said, was cause of alarm.
cit was Che said) the recent absorption
of the executive and judicial branches of
the government by the legislative when
Congress arrested Pat Woods for local
offense, became judge and jurors, and
finally executed their own sentence by ac-
tually imprisoning an American citizen
for three months in the District of Column
bia prison. Why, sir, said the venera-
BILE statesman, with his eyes beaming with
solicitude for his country, this is the
first great strike at the root of
American institutions. 1t is the funda-
mental principle of this government, that
the Legislative, judicial and executive
shall be forever separate, and that the
person of one man shall not be sacred
above another. Blackstone teaches that
the kings person is sacred;' but this idea
died with the coming of Democracy. The
Constitution, Declaration, and everything
IN the writings of jefferson and Hamil-
ton are against it. If ever see Mr.. Gree
ley, want to say: Mr.. Greeley, you ar e
a reasonable man; now see this thing! (Here
he was the old man eloquent Look
| at it in reason. Is it not the first great
blow at Iberty2 Can your party defend

tion-this idea of the personal sacrednes;

You could not have selected a better ex-
ample to set before the young men of our

In Augustin Daily's great play, ''Under
the Gaslight," Laura CORTLAND utters
these beautiful sentiments: 'Iet the
woman you look upon be wise or vain,
beautiful or homely, rich or poor, she has
but one thing she can give or refuse-her
heart. Her beauty, her wit, her accom-
plishments, she may sell to yOu-but her
love is the treasure without price. She
onlv asks in turn that when you look
up0n her, your eyes shall speak mute
devotion; that when you address
her. your voice shall be gentle, loving
and kind; that you shall not despisc
her because she cannot understand all at
once your vigorous thoughts and ambi-
tious plans; for when misfortune and evil
have defeated your greatest purposes
her love remains TO console you. You
look upon the trees for strength and gran
deur; do not despise the flowers because
their fragrance is all they have to give.
Remember, love is all that woman can
giye-but it is the only earthly thing
which God permits us to carry beyond
| the grave"

JEFF. DAVIS.
at Chattanooga : Re-
Spouse of Mr.. Davis.


Spouse of Mr.. Davis.
From the Chattanooga Times, July =. =.
Hon. Jefferson Davis returned 10 the
city yesterday from Lookout Mountain,
and took rooms at the Burns Horse. A
number of friends called on him during
the day, and about 10 O'Clock lsst night
he received a serenade from the Silver
Cornet Band. Quite crowd gathered in
front of the Burns House to listen to the
delightful music of the band, and to
catch a glimpse OF the late President of
the ''so-called. Mr.. Davis did not show
himself until few gentlemen went to
his room and requested that he would say
few words TO the assembly. Mr.. Davis
was just making preparations to retire for
the night, and somewhat reluctantly COM
piled with the request. Stepping upon
the porch, he advanced to the front, and
was introduced by Col. Sam. Boyce as
"Hon. Jefferson Davis" Mr. Davis then
spoke, substantially, as follows
'sMy friends, it affects me from the
very bottom of my heart to receive this
demonstration of your kindly feelings
toward me. / had retired in double
sense. For the night and from public
life. In view of the past no man can
blame. me for my determination to let
those who have the power dictate how the
country shall be governed. But standing
here tonight upon the sacred soil of Ten
nessee, will say to you that wish you
all the prosperity that possible. Look
ing back upon the past and forward to the
future, / can see nothing that should faint
your honor. 1t is not the part of brave
men to brood over the sorrows Of the past,
but rather TO look forward with bright
hopes for the future You have as brave
and hlghminded people as can be found,
and as noble women as live on earth,
(applause) and wish you all the happi-
ness and prosperity that is in human life
to enjoy. Again, l thank you for this
manifestation of your Kindness"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Davis rer
marks he retired TO his room, and afte
another melody from the band the crowd
dispersed. 1t is proper to state that this
demonstration had not the slightest poll
teal significance. The serenade was the
natural expression OF the feeling of many
strong personal friends of Mr.. Davis;
and the fact that the Silver Cornet Band
so readily agreed to the proposition, is a
very strong evidence of the cordial feel
ing that exists bcSTeen our citizens of all
sections, for at Ieast half of the Silver
Cornet Band are Northern men, and were
Federal soldiers, while the others were
nearly all in the Confederate army. Those
who had been rebels made no objection
to taking part with the band at the decora-
ton of the Federal graves in the National
Cemetery here last May, neither could the
Northern men, and Federal soldiers now
refuse to assist them in paying proper re-
spect to their late leader.
