WITCHERY OF HAIR.

w omen know now tnaJ Lnere never
has been anything found to soften
harsh outlines, to lend . suspicion Of
beauty where beauty is not, TO make
a brow white by contrast, to lend the
charm Of youth to every face, of in
nocence to every expression, and to
exalt the type of all the loveliness
there is, equally with the half-revel-
ling coquetry Of these blooming and
wandering little locks that frame
face like a picture. There are, in
deed, very few faces, Within the year,
to which any tanciful way OF wearing
the hair is at all suitable, that are not
set off to advantage by this method
Of dressing it. The too high tore;
head is reduced, the too low forehead
is disguised, the eyes are shadowed,
and made darker or softer, the thin
ioce is shorteped the short face ideal
lied, and the whole countenance
looses that materiality which it in
variahly has when the lines OF the
hair about it are deep and thick, and
is lifted into the nights of the pictur-
esque. And when to this light and
graniture which nature gives the face
IS added, the effect of the exquisite
tints Of those colors that have come
into vogue within the last few years,
denominated by all sorts of poetical
names, as glacier blue, shadow Of the
rose, frozen moonlight, mountain
brook, descriptive Of pallid and ethe-
real hall-tones of color, each OF which
imparts something Of its own lowell
ness to the wearer cooling too vivid
blush here, adding luster there, we
see that fashion has, by slow ap.
proaches reached reality fit and ca.

woman beautiful,--PaH Null G0zette,
The Rev, Thomas X. Becker has
made few more remarks that will
be apt to set the temperance dis
putants by the ear again. In a re-
cent number of the Elmira Ga2ette
he says that he has mover known Of u
case Of habitual drunkenness to re-
suit from the use of lager beer. He
recommends the appointment in
every city of an "unimpeachable in
spector in all brewerages offered for
sale, and inexorable condemnation
OF fthedeleteriops." When thisis done,
he continues, eve shall then prob
ably have gone as far as it is possible
for human society to 20 in protect
ing its members against bad habit9.
In this direction it would seem n3 il
time and labor and money would be
we'll expended. Profoundly satisfied
that stimulus has u salutary part to
play in Christian civilization, and
that alcohol is natures readiest and
almost universal stimulus, the prob
lem would seem to be 50 to uso it aa
to gain from it al the good that can
bo gained and avoid all the evil hold
| inc fast the double truth found IN
Scripture, Wine is d mocker, strong
drink is raging, and whosoeyer is do
ceiyed thereby is not wise. ," Also
"Giye strong drink unto him that is
ready to perish, and wine unto those
that be Of heavy hearts" And this,
oLet your moderation be known un'
to all men"

DARWIN has a practical supporter
of his theory in the shape Of the first
gorilla ever tanned and now in Lon,
don. A small party dined with him
IL short time ago, and we are told
that Monsieur Gorilla behaved like
any courteous diner-out, except that
his conversation was not brilliant,
and that at one point in the meal
be calmly extended his paw and re-
moved from his neighbors plate to
his own some pretty tiny kiclshaws,
which particularly pleased him. he
drank claret witt his steak, lounged
in his chair between tho courses, and
cracked his walnuts and took his
afier-dinner glass Of port with the
most graceful ease. He is very por-
ticular in his food, and always takes
not rum and water, sweetened with
honey, before retiring Darwin
ought to be a happy man.

Thus we are passing awayl We
are now about to break up circle
that has cherished more Of personal
affection than any one I have ever
participated in here, and we part to-
day, as have all Senates and Houses
before us, never, never to meet again,
Each may meet the others in the
journeyings and yicissitudes of life,
but the men Of this body, who are
now about to separate, will never
again find their circle complete. As
fragments Of a broken brotherhood,
we may cross each others paths, and
from time to time, as the swift days
are numbered, tell the story Of those
of us who shall have fallen; but until
the Great Judge shall summon all to
the last account of their stewardship,
this, Senators, is final farewell.

Indians on the Frontier.

Mr.. Maggie, from Fort Griffin, informs
us that good many Indians are now
on the border, hunting white mems
horses. They took thirty-two head
from Mr.. Browning (all he had), leav-
ing him and his hands on foot, with a
good drove of beef cattle under herd.
Mr.. Browning is now trying to buy
more horses. They also took several
from Mr.. Hittssn and Others in that
country. When last heard OF, it IS be-
lieved they had over one hundred and
fifty head of horses collected. General
Buell., with all the men he can spare
from the post, is out after them, and
Captain McAdams, of Palo Pinto, is
also on scout. We hope they may
strike these Indian trails before they
get out of reach and bring back their
neighbors' horses, and leave a few dead
Indians on the plains.

BALM MOUNTAIN.
The Sensation n Third Rate Hoax
An Indian Legend.

Richmond (Va.) Correspondenceofth the New
York Tilnes.l
The Bald mountain volcano of North
Carolina has been regarded rs u third
rate hoax here from the publication Of
the first sensational rumors In regard
to IL, The truth Is, doubtless, that this
new sensation Is but the revival of an
old tradition, derived from the Indians,
that Bald mountain was once, In very
remote times, n volcano, aud hence
that absence of vegetation which has
given II It's name.
The Indian legend Is to the effect that
u certain tribe, living at the foot of
Bald mountain, was annually afflicted
10y the visit of huge bird OF prey, that
made has cyrle on the summit of the
mountain, and that on every visit
seized and carried away with him Il
child of the tribe. This annual aiilic-
ton had been undergone for long Sc
ries Of Years, when great chief and
medicine man arose, and just before
the time for the next annual visit of
the bird, began to preach II crusade
against the common enemy. lie alb
jured the warriors, rs they were brave
men and LOVING fathers, no longer to
submit TO the deprcdations Of the bird,
but to march against him and destroy
him, or be destroyed.
Thus aroused, the men of the tribe
swore to follow their chief in the des-
perate venture, and, placing their
squaws and children in u place of
safety, they encircled the base Of the
mountain and began the ascent
resolved to kill the bird ut all hazards
and at every cost. The mountain was
then clothed in rank vegetation
mighty forest trees, thiclly under
grown by II tangled wilderness, that
made the progress upward very pain
full and difficult. But the determined
tribe persevered until, nearing the top
of the mountain, what was their hor-
ror to perceive that 1t was not merely
one tremendous bird they had to COLI
quer and destroy, but a countless num-
Der of the fierce creatures clustering
in ferocious masses all over the higher
portions of the mountain.
AT this, despair overcame them, for
they at once recognized how impossi-
pie il would be for them to overcome
and eXterminate so many ofthe winged
monsters, and they threw themselves
Down upon their faces, expecting the
birds to rush down upon them and
destroy them. AT this moment their
leader raised high hisvoice to hegreat
spirit for their deliverance, and in
answer to his prayer vivid lightnings
sprang from every quarter OF the
cloudess sky, without sound of thun-
der, Staying the birds to the last one, riv-
ing the forest trees, and wrapping the
whole mountain top in flames that soon
swept from it every trace of vegeta-
ton. Thus We're the monstrous birds
of prey destroyed, the mountain made
bald, and the tribe delivered. The an

UuIIity of Geological Surveys.

To many it may seem unnecessary to
say anything on the utility of geolog-
zeal surveys, because they have already
been tested and found to be of great
practical value by most civilized coun-
tries. Indeed, it is impossible to de-
velop the mineral and agricultural
resources of D state in an economical
manner without such survey. Every
oitize of Texas is more or less inter
ested In having its mineral and agricul-
tural resources made known, in order
