The BEAUTY OF BALDNEss.-A great
change has taken place of late years with
regard to the estimation in which bald.
ness is held. Fifty years ago it was
viewed as a serious inaiction, misfor-
tune to be concealed by wig or velvet
skull cap. In such cases, no doubt, the
wig Was intended to deceive, and to give
q juvenile appearance to its wearer. In
the majority of cases, however, the Gov
eripg was 80 plainly artificial that it was
clearly adopted no: from a motive of
vanity, but simply to hide an unpleasant
object from the eyes of the world. OF
late years, however, partly, it would .ap.
pear, from the habit of wearing beard
having come into fashion, badness is far
more common than it used to be. 1t may
be that nature furnishes to each human
being suficiency Of what may be called
hair ointment to support an aveIage
quantity ofhair, and that when men al
low their boards to grow they do SO to
the detriment of the natural covering of
the scalp. Certain it is that large
proportion of men with boards begin to
grow bald at an abnormally early age.
Hitherto, however, they have, when
questioned, been willing to allow that
they regarded the lack Of hair as draw.
back to their personal appearance. They
will now be inclined to take higher
ground, for The British Medical Journal
tells us that in lecture on badness,

and it confers upon the physiognomy an
expression of wisdom, experience and
venerability. It adapts ito marvellous.
ly to certain heads which would be de.
formed BY wig, and is the severe beauty
represented in sculpture by the classic
head of Eschylus." This is consolation
indeed. Henceforth let man bow before
the severely beautiful; let there be an
end of the use of unguents and oils, and
let depilatories take their place upon the
toilet table. Let the thoughtless and
giddy keep the hair on their heads, but
let all who value the possession of the
severe Eschylus get their heads as bald
as billiard ball without an instant's
delay.

The SwAN.-The most graceful of all
aquatic fowls is but little known in this
country, owing, it may be said, to our
utilitarian ideas, and partly to The
thought that they will require much care.
Our country is dotted with numberless
sheets of smooth, clear water, whose
beautiful surfaces would be rendered still
more beautiful by the addition of these
beautiful birds. They will occupy the
same water with the geese and ducks, if
necessary. They remain nine.tenths OF
the time in the water, sleeping there
through the mild weather, and, in fact,
until the lake freezes over. 1t is not un-
usual for them, on a sudden change of
weather, to become 80 surrounded by ice
that it is necessary to break it up tofree
them. Their favorite feeds grass, bread,
or small, tender corn leaves: For
winter keeping all that is needed is a
warm room, giving them large tub
of water, little bread, cabbage leaves,
etc.
The female deposits her eggs early in
the spring, rarely more than two, but in
exceptional cases six to eight in number.
The eggs are larger than those of geese
even, and it takes thirty.fye days OF
steady work to bring out the young ones,
or cygnets, as they are called. They
arc very hardy, and require no care but
that of the parents. ;.
Their flesh is very delicate, but epi-
cures rarely get taste of it in this ccun-
try. They go in pairs and live thus more
peacably than when leftin large numbers.
These birds are very long lived, numerous
instances are given of their living even
to 100 years. They are much less trou-
blesome about the place than the gaudy
peacock. We trust that we may yet see
in many of our private grounds more Of
these beautiful birds.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS SoPRANo.-Isa-
bella McCulloch, the soprano singer,
died in New York City Monday. She
was a native of South Carolina. Her
father was well.to-do Scotchman, but
the war swept away his fortune and left
the family in very straitened circum.
stances. The daughter had magnif-
cent voice, and under the advice of local
musicians paid particular attention to
its cultivation. At the Academy of CO.
lumbia, which she attended, her singing
was famous. It vas in the winter OF
1858 that she made her debut in New
York, singing with creditin "Uu Ballo
in Maschera." She had been pupil of
Torriuni, and won success as singer
from the first. As an actress her Scotch
directness of address and bluntness OF
manner were blemishes in her perform.

t1is continent was made in company
with Adelaide Phillips. She sang with
La Grange in Don Giovanna." and in

was under engagement to both Max and
Maurice Strakosch. When the opera Of
"Lurline" was brought out for the first
time she sustained the title role, and her
friends declare that her singing OF
"Sweet Spirit, Hear my Prayer" has new
er been surpassed in sweetness. "Mar-
tha" was her favorite opera. Some ten
years ago size met Brignoli, and after
nearly two years of most persistent WOO.
ing upon his part she married him and
left the stage. After six years of married
life, part Of spent in Europe, Brignoli
abandoned her, and her suit for divorce
about two years ago finally separated
them. For o number ofyears past she
has supported herself as a church singer,

cathedral she has been chief soprano in

A PRINTERS DREAM.-A printer sat
in his Office chair; his boots were patch
ed and his coat tllreadbare, while his
face looked weary and worn with care.
While sadly thinking Of business debt,
old Morpheus slowly round him crept,
and before he knew it he soundly slept;
and sleeping, he dreamed that he was
dead, from trouble and toll his spirit had
fed, and that not even cow.bell tolled
for the peaceful rest Of his cow.hide sole.
AS he wan iered among the shades, the
smoke and scorch in lower Hades, he
shortly observed ON iron door that creak-
ingly swung on hinges ajar, but the en-.
trance was crossed by red-hot bar, and
Satan himself stood peeping out and
watching for travellers thereabout, and
thus to the passing printer spoke, ard
with growing voice the echoes woke:
"Come in, my dear, it shall cost you
nothing, and never fear; this is the
place where I cook the ones who never
pay their subscription sums for, though
in life they will find when dead it is too
late; I will show you the place where /
melt them thin, with red.hot chains and
scraps of tin, and also where l comb
their heads with broken glass and melted
lead, and if of refreshments they only
think, there's boiling water for them to
drink; there's the red hot grindstone to
grind down his nose, and red-hot rings to
wear on his toes; and if they mention
they don't like fire, I'll sew up their
mouths with red hot wire; and then,
dear sir, you would see them squirm
while I roll them over and cook to a
turn" With these last words the prin-
ter awoke, and thought practical joke !;
but still at times 80 real did it seem that
he cannot believe it was all dream !;
and often he thinks with a chuckle and
grin of the face of those who save their
tin and never pay the printer.-Louis.

has neqer seen the great clock of Stras.

Ii mill his own work was nearly COM
pleted. At any rate, some account OF
Ketler's clock will, be of interest to
American boys and girls as the first
niece of mechanism of this sort our own
Continent has produced.
Keller was occupied three whole years
in the construction of his wonderful time
piece, lduringsthe last ofthe three work
Inc day and night, and often so absorbed
in his undertaking as to forget both food
and sleep. He was man of very linn
tied education, without any of the ad.
yantages of travel or wide observation,
and the whole work of this curious clock
was performed with no other tools than
two common jack knives.
This clock is eight feet high and four
broad, has sixteen sides, and is surmount-
ed by globe, over which is cross.
There are four dial plates, all carved IN
curious, emblematic figures OF most
unique design. One of the dials shows
the tdayof the month; another, the day
Of the week; third, the minutes and
seconds; and the fourth, the hour Of the
day. Above the dial plates, gallery
sextends about half way around the clock,
and in the centre of this gallery is a
carved wooden figure Of the Savior, while
at each end is small door opening INTO

door is an. eagle, and over the left a
rooster. Twice day-that Is, at noon
and midnight-thereis is asweet Ginning
of bells. during which the small door at
the right opens, twelve wooden figures,
persoaating the twelve apostles,- march
in procession, with St. Peter at their
head, oil along the gallery. Each in turn,
as he passes the Lord, bows with face to-
ward bin, and then, resuming MS former
position, walks slowly forward tlll ne
reaches the door at the lett, which they
all enter. When Peter salqtes the Lord
the cock crows; and when Judas, VINO IS
in the rear, with one hand snieioing MS
face. and the other grasplng Dag,
reaches the cock, it crows twice; AZ the
extreme corners OF the CLOCK, placed on
pedestais, are beautifully carved statues
of Moses and Elias, ana IN tne rear are
two obelisks of the Egyptian style, ~.
scribed In hieroglyphics, and designed TO
symbolize the ancient period OF history.
The clock will run thirty-two hours, and !.
by special attachment, the procession OF
the apostles may be repeated whenever
desired.

h Battery Mine.

This mine is situated in Newark District,
about 16 miles east Of Eureka, and con-
sists OF a series Of patented claims aggre-
eating 1900 feet long by 500 wide, with q
strong ledge formation, the entire length
from. which, at any point on the whole dis
lance. $500 or $500 ore can be taken out
with a pen-knife. This pay streak is small
on the surface, but in the workings below
is found varying from two inches to six
feet wide, as far as explored. At the bot
tom Of the Wine, from the upper tunnel,
which is $50 feet long, the ore vein shows
three feet wide. One man could take from
this place alone enough ore to pay q force
Of 50 men. The pay streak shows the en-
tire length OF this tunnel, varying from
three inches to six feet in chambers now
worked out. The vein at the bottom OF
the winze can be drifted and sunk on at Q
large profit. The formation around it is
getting softer as depth is attained, and it
is not unlikely that q large amount can be
taken from it. A little below the upper
tunnel No. 2 tunnel is being run to inter-
sect he vein about 400 feet in. and under
the body opened up by the Wine from No.
l tunnel. When this connection il made
u large amount Of ore will be taken out.
This property is owned by r. Sadisr, and
II he would give it his attention and work
1t. il would yield him So for one that he
can make in the mercantile business. We
believe il is his intention to place the mine
in the East.
