Hot ASHES AT this season of the year
people cannot be too careful with hot ashes.
Frequently buildings are destroyed from
this cause. Particularly where you have
careless servants housekeepers should keep
watchful eye. Ashes, especially made
from hickory and oak wood will keep alive
long while, and to place it in Il wooden
vessel, or to throw it near wood is simply
to invite contlagration. More especially
would We warn persons not to ''bag them"

Mn. EDIroR:-In Il late copy of tie
Angto american, published in the city of
Nice, Italy, | fad the following singular
correspondence from the pen of a gentle
man now soiourning at Rome. Can it be
possible that in this enlightened nineteenth
century there can be found one Intelligent
person. who is SO led away 10y superstition
and as priestcraft to put any faith in such
Ridiculous tom foolely as is shown by the
accompanying article, which speaks for
itself:
The Pope hasa wound in the calf of his
left leg, from which flow the humuurs and
much blood. 1t is a kind Of open seton
This increases the weakness of the Pope,
but hls physicians dare not close 1t. lest
gangIene should ensue. This wound Is
dressed twice day, aud of course requires
much linen. which naturally becomes stain
ed with blood. This linen is SAID to be
piously collected daily by SiSnor Zingolini
tae chief cham ber!ain. who has as his
perquiSltes the soutans and slippers Ne.
left off by the Pope. A whole sack of this
stained linen is possessed by Signor lam
goini, who daily receives letters from
England, France, Nc, to send pieces OF
this linen, or of any garment having touch
ed the august body of the Sovereign
Ponti,' Tue slippers that the Pope woe
on The day that he received the Pilgrims of
Carcassoue, and which is stained with
blood, is accounted to be of great value.
since 4 considerable sum has been refused
for its possession. The Chamberlain. it
appears derives considerable revenue from
this source. | own that at first | myself
doubted the truth Of his account OF the
distribution of the sacred relics of the
Hcing Pope, But find it is really true.
What manners exclaimed writer in
one Of the Italian papers; 'let lis return
to Paganisu, 1t was at least more clearly.
Such strange superstition as this at the
close of the nineteenth century is at once
distressing and humliating. Hereafter, no
doubt, these pieces of linen Will be ex
hibited as the b!ondStained relics of the
sainted Prisoner Of the Vatican, But the
good Pope himself is engaged III solemn

ments relating to the most remarkable

intimated will explain and clear up many
errors at present current respecting them.
They will no doubt serve as authentic
material for his future biography. 1t was
really hoped that the intended ConsiStory
might have been held earlier than the time
fixed, by enabling the Pope to be present
in the reception room, by wheeling him
there in a bed on wheels, which is now
being specially constructed for the occasion.
But now it seems doubtful, whether this
Copsistory will ever be held.

WoMAN's HEAD-GEAR.-Joseph Ad-
Olson says of wonan's head-gcar: 1"
would desire the fair sex to consider how
impossible it is for them to add anything
that can be ornamental to what is already
the masterpiece of nature. The head has
the most beautiful appearance, as well as
the highest station in the human figure
Nature has laid out all her art in 5eauti-
| flying the face she has touched it with
vermlion, planted in it double row OF
ivory, made it the seat of smiles and
bushes, lightened it up and enivened it
with the brightness of the eyes, hung it
on each side with curious organs ofsonse,
given it airs and graces that cannot be
described, and surrounded it with such a
flowing shade of hair as sets all its beau
ties in the most agreeable light. In short,
she seemed to have designed the head as
the cupola TO the most glorious of her
works, and when we load it with pile Of
supernumerary ornaments we destroy the
symmetry Of the human figure, and fool
ishly contrive to call off the eye from
great and real beauties to childish gew-
gaws, ribbons and bone lace"
