HIsToRIo bald HEADS

! a correspondent ofthe PaH Nall Ga.
sette, descsntipg on Badness, cites some
cmiDent examples, as follows:
If one may judge IRON the excspuonal
case OF Elisha, badness seems to have
been considered disgrace among the
jews 10 remote ages, slill disgrace with
which It was not permitted to reprosch
an honorable man, The punishment in
fiictsd by divine interposition, aud at the
express solicitation OF the prophet upon
40 unfortunate children seems to persons
Ia the present day--even, 1t may be add
ed, 10 those iwho have lost their hair
rather severe. Lovers OF analogies, coin
cidences aud contrasts may be invited to
remark that the grease OF be wild beasts
employed as instruments OF vengeance
against the good old prophet with his
badness was in later centuries to be em.
ployed as capillary restorative. The
strength OF Samson and the beauty Of ABB
salon lay in their balr, and there il sig
nilicance, no doubt, In The fact that
through their hair both OF them came to
grief Among the Greeks, the two most
famous bald men were A3schyus and
/ Ulysses. The badness OF 4Esohylus is
| known to have been the cause Of his
DEATH sD eagle carrying tortoise in its
claws having dropped its prey with the
view OF breaking the shell upon what II
took to be rock, but which was in fact
the shining skull of great tragic poet.
The badness Of Ulysses ia commemorated
in the Odyssey, and the fearful vengence
taken upon the suitors OF Penelope seems
to have been in great measure due to
the peasautres In which one Of them in
dulged concerning tbs slitlering aspect
presented by her husbands crahium.
| Badness, however WAS no more admired
in these days then Ia our own; and when
| Ulysses was restored to youth, stress is
laid upon the fact that locks OF luxariant
kind were given back TO him. Julius
Cesar was notorious for bis badness, aud
the Jokes made on this subject by his
soldiers on the OCCASION of one Of his tri-
umphal entries into Rome are only too
well known Nor need the story be here
repeated OF the pleasure be took il
wearing q wreath which covered BIZ de
nuded temples; aud which, according to
one Roman historian, was bis chief res
con for VaIuing it. II may be re marked
ho oweyer, that the life like bust Of Julius
CeIar iu the British museum is not that
Of a man who Ia the present day would,
be considered bald. The hair is not
thick, aud IL brushed forward in style
which indicates desire TO mako up for
a certain want Of hair in the region Of
tho forehead aud about sthe temples.
Something, however, must be allowed
for tho complimentary disposition OF the
sculptor reproducing the head fan all
powerful commander and ruler who was
known not TO be without personal vanity

Bishop an. MakdServant.
Whitehall RevieW.l

A country parson, hearing that his
bishop was about to honor him with q
visit sent for the housemaid, a raw coun-
try girl, and carefully instructed her as
TO how she should address the great man.
"You must always say my lord and
your lordship' to the Bishop, Mary; now,
don't forget" The poor girls mind vas
completely upset by the prospect Of the
coming visit, but she promised faithfully
to obeyher masters injunctions In due
course Of time Bishop Wllberforce ar
rived, and after having been cordially
received by his host betook him to the
study to write a few letters before din
ner. At length he rang the bell. and
Mary appeared. "Who takes these let
ters to the postr" asked Wilberforce.
The poor country girl was so overcome
by the fact of being for the first time in
her life in the presence of q real live
bishop, that she faltered and hesitated,
and at length, instead Of saying, "The
boy, my lord" stammered out, "The
lord, my boyp
