Chicago is rejoicing over the ''new departure,
Of the foul water of its canal, or river, which
within the city limits has been a cess-pool of
abOmination. BY the happy idea OF some smart
Ch1cagoan the Illinois river has been induced to
turn towards its source, and instead of contrib
utng its fOulness to the blue lake the latter now
runs up the river, sweeping out its filthy con-
tents, and passes on to find fit vent for its nau-
seOus burden in the turbid Mississippi. For the
present the drainage is perfect, as the cana,
locks have been left open in order to give free
vent to the waters of the lake through the deep
ened canal but the purposes of the latter require
that navigation shall be resumed, and to that
end the locks must be closed and the flow of
water limited to the surplus that can pass off
without creating a current too great to be
temmed by boats. 1t will then be seen whether
the canal has current to carry of the contribu-
tiOns OF the 16O miles Of underground sewerage
in the city. But for the present everything is
lovely in Chicago.

The New York San (vindietively anti-Grant)
inquiries: "what State is there, except perhaps
New Jersey and Indiana, whose delegates TO the
approaching Republican National Convention
will vote for Grant?'' The New York Commercial
answers, in Yankee style, by asking another
question, TO wit: Can anybody tell the State,
say south OF Mason and Dixon's line, that won't
go for him in such convention - The Baltimore
AmeTiccr, in turn, answers the San "that the
delegation from Maryland to the National Con-
yentiOn will vote for Grant The Republicans
Of Maryland are almost unit on this point.n

The New York H,rold, noticing the resignaI
ton Of Indian Commissioner Parker, argues
that the Indian Bureau ought TO be merged
with the War Department, but adds that the
idea "that any Ofice-hOlder should resign because
he lad not enough work to Go is an innovation
on the Ofice-hOlding ethics OF this government
that would serve as an excellent point of depar-
ture for the Civil Service Commission

A RICH DRINK.

A few days ago, at NORTH Adams, the
State constable seized gfof rum, and
arrested the party in whose possession 1t
was found, for sellj0gdquor. The ex-
animation before District Judge came
on, when the constable was sworn,
and testified that be had seized the Ii

The attorney for the prisoner asked il
he knew it was liquor. He replied, "Yes

some OF it.

"Did you have it forsale?"
"Oh no; 1 don't sell liquor"
"What did you keep this rum for 2"
"I kept it to wash the baby"
"Had you ever washed the baby in

THE ORIGIN OF PHRASES.

Phs saying ito leave no stone unturn-
ed" may be traced to response of the
nelphic oracle given to Polycrates of the
best means of finding treasure buried
by one of Xerxes' generals, on the field
of Platea
"Every man the architect of his own
fortune" is ascribed to Appius Claudius
C@cus, the earliest Roman writer whose
name has come down to us. In B. G. 3l2
he began the celebrated "Appian Way
from Rome to CapLa.
OF the ve-y common saying, "Where
the shoe pinches," Plutarch relates the
story of Roman being divorced from
his wife. This person being highly
blamed by his friends, who demanded,
"Was she not chaste was she not fair9"
holding out his shoe, asked them wheth-
er it was not new and well made; "yet,"
added he, ''none of yeu can tell where it
pinches me-"
The saying, "When at Rome do as the
Remains do" is said to have arisen in
this wise st. Augustine was in the hab.
it of dining upon Saturday as on Sum
day, but being puzzled by the different
practices then prevailing tfor they had
begun to fast at Rome ON Saturday, he
consulted st, Am brose on the subject
Now, at Milan they did not fast on Sat-
urday, but the answer OF the Milan saint
was, "Wh, n 1 am here do not fast OH
Saturday; when at Rome do fast ON
saturday"
The Spectator says that Tobias Hob
son was the first man in England that
let out the hackney horses. When man
came for horse he was taken into the
stable, where there was great choice,
but he obliged him to take the horse
which stood next 10 the stable door, so
that every customer was alike well serv-
ed according to his chance; from whence
it became proverb when what ought to
be your selection was forced upon you,
to say "Hobson's choice"
Macaulay says that King Charles II.
often remained in Parliament while his
speech was taken into consideration
The debates amused his stated mind, and
were sometimes, he used 70 say, "as good
as play" ...,.,..... ..-r
The expression, ''Steal my thunder,''
is familiar, and Disraeli accounts for 1t.
The actors refused to perform one of
John DsnRis' tragedies to empty houses,
but they retained some excellent thun-
der, which Dennis had invented, and
rolled it ole night when Dennis was in
the pit, and it was applauded. Sudden.
ly starting up, he cried to the audience
''They won't act my tragedy, but they'll
steal my thunder"

soMETaINe ABOUT THE HAIR.

a.4f .4i-f atfH
Straight, lank, stringy looking hait
indicates weakness and cowardice.
Curly hair den otes quick temper.
Frizzly hair, set in ones head as II
each individual hair was ready to fight
its neighbor, denotes coarseness.
Light auburn hair denotes intelli-
gence, industry, and peaceable dispo-
tion. most
Coarse, straight, black hair denotes a
sluggish disposition, with but little am
bitiou, and love Of case, with disposi-
tion to find fault and borrow trouble.
Black hair, very little inclined to curl'
withs dark complexion, indicates per-
sonal courage, especially when one is
cornered, with wonderful degree of
pertinacity, and disposition to hang on
until whatever is undertaken be accom-
plished. ia fN
Red hair, if straight, denotes ugli-
ness, and naughty, domineering dispo-
sition. t-n4J Is ft-}soa ,t ~.
Lightish red hair, somewhat given to
curl, if 1t be fine rather than coarse, in
dicates ambition, but deceit, treachery.
and Willingness to sacrifice old friends
for new ones, or for personal advance
ment. aaaJ ,sfaE -.
What is called sandy hair indicates a
joyial disposition, without much energy
or powers of calculation for bargains
Such persons are generally good fellows
content 10 work for, others more than
themselves.
Brown hair denotes fondness for life,
friendly disposition, ambition, earnest
ness Of purpose, capacity for business,
and reliability in friendship, in propor-
ton the hair is fine.
Light brown hair, with u clear skin, is
very certain indication of courage, am
bition, reliability, and determination to
overcome obstacles. Nearly all the best
business men of the country have this
kind of hair. The finer and more silk
en- the texture, the finer the organiza-
ton, and the more tourhy and infiam-
mable the disposition. If such hair be
straight and fine, it indicates an even
disposition, a readiness to forgive, with
desire to add to the happiness of 9TH
ers. "a. eig,ass. ..l....t ,a..-s
Persons with fine light-brown or au-
burn hair, inclined to curl or friz, are
quick tempered, and given to resent
ment and revenge.
Light-brown hair, inclined to redness,
with a freckled skin, is certain indica-
tion of deceit, treachery, and disposi-
tion to do something mean by friend,
when that friend cannot longer be used
to advantage. IU.
Straight black hair, crispv and glossy,
Indicates great powers of endurance, in
difference to danger, and strong pre-
disposition to revenge wrongs or insults,
real or fancied. The eoarser snch hair,
the longer will the person having it nur-
ture his revenge, till comes safe chance
for its qualification.
Hair that is inclined to change its ap-
pearance with the weather, with sort
of reck.essness as to its style, indicates
a corresponding recklessness, or rather, |
independence, as to the speech of such |
people.
