One much liked manner of hair-dressing
is to comb the back hair up frem the nape
of the neck nearly to the crown. Make a
French twist running across the head in
stead of the ordinary way; wind about this
two medium-sized "ropes" of hair; crimp
The front locks and draw them from the
forehead.
Another is to part off the front; then d.
vide the back in two. Draw back the front
-crimpled or plain--and fasten with
hair pin behind. Then braid the back in
two heavy braids, and coil them flat about
the back of the head. This is one of the
simplest and most becoming Of prevailing
styles, and shows to perfection wen-shap-
ed Uranium.
For very low f0reheads, suitable mode
is to have low '.Pompadour" in front, with
three fluffy puffs running straight back
from the roll, on the right side, and num-
berIess small s6nger" pufRs on the left and
top-the hair being drawn up smooth and
high behind.
Many persons wear two, three, and
sometimes whole rows Of long and short
curls depending behind from a Josephine
coil; but they are not fitting, or even
beautiful, since the coil is supposed to be
classic, and curls smack chiefly OF the nine
teenth century. I ~
An effort is making to reintroduce the
old and graceful fashion Of curling the back
hair IN long riDgiets, and throwing them I'D
over comb. 1t deserves to be worn again,
for no preLtier method has been in vogue
since It was ostraeised. .l--ii 60. ID

that Captain Jack and his murderous
Modocs had probably effected their es-
cape into the open country, and that the
troops were Oh the move to ascertain their
whereabouts.
In an engagement last Saturday

and three mules, and number Of
them were killed. Captain Hasbrouck
is Of the opinion that they have but
little ammunition left. Gov. Davis
will keep them moving as long al
there are any left to move.

fession in Cincinnati, o., in the spring
of 1880 and steadily resided there till
his removal to Washington in 1861.
In politics Mr.. Chase was an anti
slavery man, acting till 1841 some
times with the Democrats and some
times with the Whigs-m re gener-
ally with the former. After 184I he
was a Liberty man, Free Soiler and
a Repub lean. He was United States

in the Court House acting in selfdefense
The MeEneryites set. the Court Hous,
on fire and shot down all who attempted
to escape from it, even after their surren
der and after raising everything Withir
their reach which they could substitute
tor white flags. About one hundred per
sons suffered death in the burning Ccur
House, shot down when attempting t.
escape from the flames, or were otherwise
ASA .sinated. In savage cruelty these
lassassinatiors far exceeded the ModoS
assassinations occurring about the same

An insurrectionary organization has
been in existence for some time at St

boards and to the processes of the courts.
The U. s. Marshal having warrants for the
arrest of the leading insurgents made a
QUESTION on Grn. Emory for forty men
and two officers which were promDtly fur
nished. The Deputy Marshal in com
mand on arriving at Brashear City found
the regular line of boats drawn off and
the pr, prletots refused the use of the
boats. There was no o her water traspor.

holding The town and protecting the court
in session De Blanche. insurgent, with
q force Of TIVE hundred, was encamped
two miles out of ST. MartinaSille. Badger
did not intend to go out to attack De
Blanche's t1cce, and ir was thought De
Branches force was not strong enough
safely to attack Badger in town. This
was the state of the war as reported by
the Marshal on the 9Th. instant, who then
thought that the arrival of the Deputy
with his posse would emo the
contest.
An attempt was made at New Dreams
on the afternoon of the 7th, inst. to assas-
sinate Governor Kellogg by an agent of
the rebels. When riding In carriage
the Governor was fred at by a man named
Railoy, a pretended tax collector holding
a fraudulent commission from McEnery
the ball grazing the back of his neck
without inficting serioCs wound. Great
excitement followed the attempted assas-
5inatioa and on the 18th Governor
Kellogg published an address saying that
he would preserve order at ail hazards.
On the 18th Marshal Packard Telegraphs
from New Orleans that the address has
had salutary effect and that all is quiet
n the city.

Causes of Death.

The last publication of the British
death rate and its causes is curious read
ing. One man died from the bite OF a
cat, and two more from the bites respec-
lively Of ferret and an adder. An
other was stung to death by bees. A
man and BOY died of falling from veloc-
ipedes, and an old lady was killed by in
juries inflicted by that agreeable ma
chine. The swallowing of a she'll, a
screw, and cherry put period
to the lives of three infants, while two
died of putting one stone, the other a
bead into the ear. Swallowing bones
sent three. people out of the world,
swallowing coins finished two, and
swallowing a pin quickly pricked on
grim Death for one. A scratch from
a thorn killed woman of middle age;
improper medicine poisoned eight peo-
pie, and improper food FIVE. -Four hun
dred and forty.four young children were
smothered by bed.clothes; and nine hun
dred and thirty persons during the year
lost their lives in railway accidents.
The proportion of suicides to every mil
lion Of the population is about seventy
the deaths by hanging, the knife, and
drowning being the most. Heart dis
ease the years record shows to be in
crossings state of things which is said
by eminent physicians to be caused by
the greater wear and tear Of business,
and the increased mental activity of the

a porslbIe Inpanese war.

Certain complications have arisen be-
tween China aud Japan, which may pos
siblY result in war between those coun-
tries. Some Japanese were wrecked on
the island of Formosa, belonging to
China, and the natives of that happy
land, forgetful of the sacred duties Of
hospitality, killed and ate their visitors.
The unlucky mariners were natives OF
the Loochoo Islands, group lying OF
the coast Of China, and much nearer to
that country than to Japan. Both coun-
tries claim jurisdiction over the Loo
choo Islands, and hence Chine refuses
to acknowledge the right of Japan to
demand satisfaction for a wrong done to
Chinese citizens. Japan continues to
urge her claim that the Leochoo Islands
are her property, and their Inhabitants
Japsleae citizens, and has sent her Min
lister for toFsig9 Affairs, with two war
steamers, to China, 10 ssk redress. In
the event Of war, Japan will be able to
test the efficiency Of her Armstrong guns
and breech-loadipg rifles, with which she
has been industrioGsly arming herself
siHee the new progressive policy was
introduced.

We give an anecdote Illustrative Of
the unparalleled dexieriiy OF the natives
OF India with the sword, rs well as OF
NApier'a simplicity OF character After
the Indian battles, on one occasion a
famous juggler visited the camp, and
performed his feats before the General,
his family and stat. Among his per
iormances, this man cut in two, with a
stroke Of the sword, a lime or lemon
placed in the hand OF the assistant
Napier thought there was some collu-
sion between the juggler and bis assist
ant. Todivide BY asweep OF the sword,
on a mans hand, so small an object
without touching the flesh, he believed
10 be impossible, though a similar Incl.
dent is related by Scott, in his romance
OF the "TalismAn." tr
To determine the point the General
offered his own hand for the experiment,
and he held out his right arm. The jug.
gler looked attentively at the hand and
said he would not make the trial.

claimed Napier. Nfnf0an IuF
" But stop" said the other, let me
see your left hand" g IIlH
The left hand was Submitted, and the
man then said firmly: Nlliio y
IF you will hold your arm steady l
will perform the feat."
" But why the left hand, and not the
right2"
/" Because the right hand is hollow in
the center, and there is risk Of cutting
of the thumb; the left is high, and the
danger will be less. fr

When Aldus Manutius set up in busi-
ness as a printer at Venice, he came in
possession of little negro boy. This
boy was known over the city as the
little black devil" who assisted the mys-
terious biblio factor; and some of the
most ignorant people believed none
other than Satan, who helped Aldus in
the prosecution of his profession. One
day, Manutius desirous to dispel this
strange hallucination by publicity, dis

Poor Fellow.

The following incident illustrates a
complaint that is too common among a
certain class of beaux whose silly ambi-
ton reaches no higher than fashicna-
BILE necktie and the foolish boast that
they are like the butterflies who gather
the sweets from every garden, but, un-
like the bees, they carry no money with
them. These insipid youths have about
as much earnestness in this department
Of life as in lsve making, and secure a
permanent success The girls should
lean them up against a shady tree some
bright summer day and fan them to
death with rose leaf
A young man living not quite a
thousand miles from Loretto, Ky, not
long ago laid siege to the heart of a
young lady in Louisville, who in due
time surrendered the fortress into his
keeping. A day was appointed for the
nuptials, friends were invited, good
things to eat and drink were provided,
and all the concomitants Of well-regu-
lated weddings we're prepared. The day
came, the guests came, but the BRIDE
groom" the young man from the coun-
try game not He made default and
the question on every tongue was, why
is this thus
The mother Of the bride that was to
be came up to Loretto and went out to
interview the son-in.law that was to have
been. She told him of her daughter
how, like Amy in Locksley Hal" her
cheek was paler and thinner than
should be for one SO young and how
she was pning away from disappoint-
ment and grief, The young man OBJ
served, depreciatingly, that the young
lady had never been very fat but the
would-be mother.in.law parried this
thrust and presented to him the impro-
priety of his conduct in such moving
terms that he felt bound to apologize.
He accordingly told the old lady that
he was sorry to have grieved and disap-
pointed her daughter and herself, but he
was the subject of uncomfortable hts OF
loving, and when one of these came
upon him he could not keep counting
somebody. This, ne said, was a disease,
and that he was in no sense responsible
for anything he did while this temporary
madness was upon him. II be had, un-
der the power of this malady, made love
to her daughter, he Was sorry for it, but
he could not help it. If abe doubted
his word, be said he could bring hun
dreds of physicians to prove that such a
disease existed, and hundreds of ac-
ouaintances to prove that he had it.
The lady from Louisville went home
sadder, if not a wiser woman. Before
she left she expressed great sympathy
for the young man, observing that it
was q pity he could not be cured.
