Wachiel Singing While His Child is
Dying.

The opera-house is thronged with an
expectant audience, for Theodore Wach-
tel is to appear in "Der Position Won
Lonjumeau," and all Leipzig must hear
him. Perhaps more than one person in
that assembly is thinking what a fine
thing it is to be favorite actor, and
wishing that he could change places
with Wachtel. The audience even fancy
that he must be as impatient as they for
the curtain to rise and the opera to
begin. While they are waiting let us
take a peep back of the scenes. The
postboy stands at the threshold, and the
attendants look from one to the other
with awe-struck faces. Through the
half open door of a dressing room we
see the celebrated Wachtel in an agony
of grief, and can easily guess that the
paper he has dropped on the floor is a
telegram with bad news. In truth it is,
for it brings word that his youngest son
is dying and wants to see him. He can
not 60 !; the audience must not be dis
appointed; he must swallow the lump
that rises in his throat till it almost
chokes him, and assume all the gayety
of Chapelon, the position of Lonju
meau. At the end of the second act,
while the audience is making the house
ring with applause, Wachtel is reading
another telegram. This one tells him
that his son is dead. At the end of the
third act he thrills the audience as he
sings "Gute Nacht, mein Herzliches
Kind" They think the position is
singing that song, but we know that
Theodore Wachtel is bidding his child
a last good night. Letter.

Plants as Weather Guides.

It is we'll known that certain plants
are very sensitive to change in the at
mosphere, and by their behavior, the
opening and closing of their leaves and
flowers, etc, serve as natural barome-
tiers to indicate the coming weather.
A Prussian horticulturist, Mr.. Hanne
man, of Broskau, has published a long
list of plants, the indications of which
he has found trustworthy. The PIN
pernell, or poor mans weather-glass,
(AnagGIis arUe,asis,) expand their
flowers at the approach of wet weather,
whilst on the other hand the different
varieties of clover contact their leaves
before rain. If fine bright weather is
in prospect, the leaves of the chickweed
(.Syelloria anedia) unfold aud its flowers
remain awake and erect until mid day.
When the plant droops and its flowers
do not expand, rain may be expected.
The half opening of the flowers is a
sign that the wet will not last long.
The Burnet saxifrage (Pinpinella sac
ifrag0) indicates the coming weather in
the same manner. AS to the small Cape
marigold, (Cdlenduld 7ol,sUiaIis,) should
it open at six or seven a. M, and not
close till four p. M, we may reckon on
settled weather ; if the flower continues
sleeping after seven, it betokens rains
Wood sorrel. (Oralts, acetOcella,) and
other species of OrdIis, indicate rain
by closing their leaves.

A $e,OOO,OOO Head Of Hair.

The London Echo prints the follow
ing "We have it upon the authority
of a medical journal that there are
"from $50, 900 to 200, 600 hairs in a
lady's head" and upon other, if not
higher authority, we know that "beauty
leads us by single hair" What, then,
in this eminently commercial and
money-making age is the obvious con-
clusion LIS it not evident that every
one should consider what is the worth
of a single hair "upon a laGy's head, I"
what is the worth of it when removed
from lady's head, and what fortune
may she, under penalty of badness, be
supposed to carry? And we are not
without data, for the same journal tells
us that Mme Nilsson lately sold hair
from her head for go, "and in a few
moments the Swedish songstress was
surrounded by admirers anxious to buy
a hair at the same rate" OF course,
