ABOUT HAIR.
A LittIe Genealogical Lore.

Red hair, some years ago was not
admired, yet now it is almost as much
esteemed as yellow, as barbers-we beg
pardon, crinologists, as they term
themselves nowadays-by means of GER
tain charms" can produce upon it a
beautiful golden yellowish sheen that
out-yellows yellow itself Red hair was
always an object of aversion among the
ancients. Ages before the time of Judas
lscariot red hair was thought an object
of reprobation. Typhon and Nebuchad-
nezzar are instances Of this, the former
who acquired it because he deprived his
brother of the scepter Of Egypt, and the
latter who bore it in expiation of his
atrocities. Even the donkey tribe
suffered from this i'll omened vista
ton, according to the proyerb OF
!" as wicked as red ass" Asses
of that color were held in such detesta-
ton by the Copts, that every year
they sacrificed one by hurling it from
a high wall. Black hair was not much
esteemed by the Romans, but red hair
was detested. Auburn or light or light
brown was thought the most distin-
guished, as porten0ing intelligence, in
dustry, peaceful disposition, as well as
great susceptibility to the tender pas
sion. Castor and Pollux had brown
hair; SO also had Menelaus. The hair
most in esteem was such as hung in long
curling locks, like that of the unfortu-
nate Absalom. Dares, the historian,
states that Archilles and Ajax lebanon
had curling locks; such, also, was the
hair of Timon, the Athenian. The EN-
peror Augustus, we are told, had been
favored by nature with such an abuA-
dance of long curling locks, that no bar
ber in Rome could produce anything like
a successful imitation of it even. If
our fair sex make themselves conspicu-
GUS by wearing hair from pagan heads,
such as Chinese pigtails, Indian
scalps, and Tongataboo chowarries
worked up" into Brobdignagian CHG
mons, the lords of creation scorn the
idea in 1872, though in l772 the macca-
ronies, as the exquisites of the time
were called, wore a similar adornment
to the chignon, only turned upside down,
as it were, and the top part was called
" toupee." In the play of the Mod
ern Husband, we read: " meet with
nothing but parcel of toupet coxcombs
who plaster up their brains upon their
periwigs," alluding to the pomatum with
which they are covered. "Pigtails "
were in vogue at one time, although we
laugh at the Celestials of the Aowery
kingdom for wearing them now. In
l772 nothing was thought of man with
out that appurtenance; in 1850 the tail
was unraveled and hung loose; then was
tied and turned up in knot behind;
and toward the end Of the century, wigs

Mhcre Woman FniIs.

Somebody has discovered where wo-
man fails. Says a scribbler: Did you
ever see woman threw a stone at q
hen2 II is one of the most ludicrous
scenes in everyday life. We recently
observed the process-indeed, we paid
more attention than the hen did, for she
did not mind it at all, and laid an egg
the next day as if nothing had happened.
In fact that hen will now know for the
first time that she served in the capacity
of target. The predatory fowl had
invaded the precincts of the flower bed,
and was industriously pecking and
scratching for the nutritious seed or the
early worm, blissfully unconscious of
impending danger. The lady now ap-
pears upon the scene with a broom.
This she drops and picks up a rocky
fragment of the Silurian age, and then
makes her first mistake-they all do
it-of seizing the projectile with the
wrong hand. Then with malice afore-
thought, she makes the further blunder
of swinging her arms perpendicularly
instead of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
stone flies into the air, describing an
irregular elliptical curve, and strikes
the surface OF the earth as far from the
hen as the thrower stood at the time,
in a course due west from the same, the
hen then bearing by the compass NNE.
by half E. At the second attempt the
stone narrowly missed the head Of the
thrower herself, who, seeing that any
further attempt at the kind would be
suicidal does what she might have done
first, starts after the hen with an old
and familiar weapon. The moral of
which is: Stick to the broomstick.

Speaker BIaine-His Career as a
school Teacher and Newspaper
Reporter.
From CATH Letters to the Chicago Tribune, ]
Following the course of the running
streams, he made his way to the State
of Kentucky, and became an instructor
at the military academy of Georgetown,
ia Scott county. Here he remained
three years, and was so great favorite
that, to this day, while Speaker of the
House of Representatives, the Kentucky
folks come to see him with applications
for relief, discharge of disabilities, and
all other matters pertaining to Federal
legislation; and no man in the North
has more consideration in Kentucky
than Blaine. While in Kentucky, he
made the acquaintance of his wife, q
school-teaeher from Maine, which after
ward resulted in his removal TO that
State, marriage there, and acceptance
of newspaper position in the far East.
AT the State capital, Mr.. Blame rapidly
rose TO distinction, although, prior to
this time he had been for nearly one
year a silent, obscure and vigilant news
paper reporter in the city of Philadel-
phia, writing, / believe, for the old In
quirer of Jasper Harding. This was a
few years before the war. Arriving
more speedily to honor in new coun-
try, he was looked upon with favor in
Maine, soon developed power and infu-
ence in public affairs, and, when he
quilted journalism, his paper had been
so much enhanced and improved that it
sold for about $35,OO0 This money was
relnvested in Pennsylvania coal lands,
near the Speakers birthplace, and the
circumstance suggests an anecdote as to
Blaine's intrepidity and public equity:
You have made a free-trade com
mittee, Mr.. Blaine" said one of the peo-
pie who are supported by their fellow
countrymen. 'g
IL don't know whether l have made a
free-trade committee or not, said
Blaine; i tried to make a free coal
committee and | think have done it.

The latest intelligence from the Pa

of Alaska, with three living Japanese on

a storm off Japan, and had drifted two
thousand five hundred miles in nine

striking occurrence is by no means un-

of rice. and the crew consequently had
enough to eat, though their only drink
was water from occasional rains. Such

Large quantities of Sisal hemp grow
on the island without cultivation, and
there have been many efforts made to
utilize it, but as yet all machinery made
to clean it properly have proved defec-
tive. One of the best of these hemp
machines is now here experimenting,
and with every prospect of success.
The Notifications of the island have
been practically abandoned since the
war; but since the recently threatening
aspect of our foreign relations, work has
been resumed. In addition to the forts
and towers, two large sand-batteries are
being built, which will add considerably
to the defenses of the harbor.
The city is provided with several ho-
tells; but truth compels me TO say that
none of them are strictly first class.
Strangers would do better to obtain
board at private houses, as the prices
are moderate, and fruit is supplied in
profusion. m
1t is strange that some enterprising
hotel man has not seen the advantages
that Key West presents as a winter resi-
dence. With a irst-class hotel, there are
hundreds of families who would make
this their winter resort, instead of going,
as now, to Nassau and Havana.
Sea-bathing can be indulged in all
winter, and every form Of amusement
can be provided for. G. W. I.

the cigar trade may be formed from the
fact that one house alone ships 200, 900
cigars weekly.
The climate of the island in winter is
superb, and invalids find great benefit
from short residence here. The aver
age winter temperature is 680.
The houses are all built low and wiui
wide verandahs, generally enclosed with
blinds, so that they always look cool
and refreshing Another popularity is
the entire absence Of fire-places and
chimneys; no necessity existing for
them, except in the kitchens, which are
always separated from the houses.

bread-fruit, sour-sop, mongoe, grape
fruit, Avocado pear, sappodilla, sugar

from FIVE TO eight cents per pound.
