The Locks OF Genius.
London Globe.l

The publication of the correspondence
of Georges Sand has led to the question
as to what shall be done with the letters of
Alfred de Musset, and all those documents
which led to the romance between the two
litterateurs and impelled them to raise a
corner of the veil and let the public see
that persons of talent are only human
after all. The letters, etc., of Balzac have
been burned, but what have become of
those of the author of "Rolla?" When
Alfred de Musset died he bequeathed to
his brother Paul the long tress
of black hair Georges Sand cut
off and sent him one day. Paul de Musset
treasured up the hair of Georges Sand as
long as he lived. When he died his wife
found it among his papers, and
and among those souvenirs
d'amour some men are vain enough to
hoard up. Madame de Musset took the
ringlet, and, calling her maid told her to
throw it away with the rest of the rubbish,
little thinking with what scant ceremony
she was treating an object which would
have been priced above rubies by those
who collect such souvenirs. The servant
took them away, but finding the hair in
splendid condition, sold it for half franc

Bottini, the hairdresser in the Rue Fon-
tame, could tell of one of his assistants
who, in the course of his outdoor work, was
called on frequently to cut the hair of Vic
tor Hugo, who lived in the Rue Pigalle: of
Gounod, the composer; and of Pasini and
Gerome, the artists. Each time he was
called in to attend to one of his masters
illustrious customers he cut off few locks
on his own account, slipping them into his
pocket, and when he got home carefully la
belled them with the date and the name of
the former owner. Bottini's clerk has re-
tired to his home in Brittany on the
strength of the pourbOires received, and
his modest revenue Is materially in
creased by the sale of the locks of hair he
has kept by him for the use of tourists and
travellers, who can have the hair of the au-
thor of Lies Miserables," of the composer
or OF the great artists. to hang up in a
glass case by the side of the snuff box of
Frederick the Great, the walking stick of
Voltaire, and the ring with which the
Marine Faliero, Doge of Venice, married
the Adriatic. No doubt the locks sold by
the retired barber are quite as authentic
as those pieces of leather which have been
sold for more than a century to visitors to
the field of Waterloo as part and parcel of
the boot of gallant marquis whose leg
was shattered by ball from the French.

Africa and the Africans.

Perhaps there is no portion of the
world with a history so interesting as
that of Africa. A few years ago this
great continent was less known than any
other part Of the world. The interior
had never been mapped out anil settled
by white men. The great desert OF
Sahara, with its wandering tribes OF
Arabs, and their camels and focks; the
great Egyptian plain and the pyramids;
;he vast wealth of animal life Astounding
in forests and rivers; myriads of birds,
beasts and fishes. mingled together il
confused ideas-these were the general
notions of this third great continent OF
the world. Yet the history of the earli-
est ages of the world is laid in the North
of Africa. After the confusion of Babel,
Egypt.
The history of the children of Israel
IN their bondage under Pharaoh, and
passage across the Red sea under their
leader, Moses, himself saved from the
waters of the Nile, connects the history
OF Africa with the pages of the Bible.
Egypt was afterward conquered by
the Persians, and then by Alexander the
Great, King of Macedon, in whose days,
two thousand years ago. the great cities
and wonderful buildings on the banks Of
the Nile were ruins, so that they must
have been built by Egyptian Kings many
hundred years before. Ethiopia was
another division of Africa. It was once
called Sheba, the kingdom Of that queen
who went to visit Solomon, and whose
dominions now form Nubia and Abys.
sinia.
Then there were the countries colonized
by the ancient Phenicans and Grecians,
which are now the Barbary states.
The other regions of Africa have
scarcely any history. Theancients con
tented themselves with very fancifuI
stories about the inhabitants of the I'm
known interior. These were said to be
people without noses, and some with
three or four eyes. Others were de.
scribed as giants without heads, but an
eye in their breasts.
One of the prettiest of these fables is
of the Pigmies, small people, about
twelve inches in height, supposed to live
in houses like birds nests, built of clay
and eggs and birdshells, on the banks O
the Nile. Great battles are related a.
being fought between the Pigmies anG
the cranes, one of whom, sometimes,
would snatch up Pigmy in his beal
and fly away with him.
At the southern point of Africa is the
large colony of g the Cape" as it is
called; and northeast of this the differ
ent tracts of country, Natal, Zuzulani
and Transvaal, where, during the las
year or two, there have been wars ani
continuous fighting, with little profit o.

The expression, eft sticks like the

way: Hercules ordered Nessus (the

across a river. The centaur ill-treated
the woman, and Hercules shot him with
poisoned arrow. Nessus, in revenge,
presented Dejanira with his shirt, say
ing whomever she gave it to would love
her exclusively. Dejanira gave it to
her husband, Hercules, who was eaten
into by poison as soon as he put in on.
After enduring agony, Hercules threw
himself on a funeral pile and was con-
sumed.

BITS OF IMPORTATION.

NICOTINE is so named from Jean
Moot, lord If Villemain, who purchased
some ;ooacco at Lisbon in 1860, INTRO
duced it into France, and had the honor
OF fixing his name on the plant. Our
word tobacco is from the Indian tubocO.
the tube used by the Indians for inhal-
ing the smoke, which by them is called
petuni Or cohiba.
THE origin of the phrase, "Before
you could say Jack Robinson" is thus
explained: Crosse says it originated
from very voluble gentleman of that
appellation, who would call on his neigh
bors and be gone before his name could
be announced. But the following lines
are elsewhere given as the original
phrase:
warke it vs. easie to be doone,
As tvs to save Jack -robys on!
BRAZILIAN nuts are the fruit of the
B07thOltati0 eccels0. The tree grows
to. the height of 100 feet. The trunk sell
dom exceeds three feet in thickness, and
the leaves are nearly thirty inches long.
The fruit, falling from such great
height, is hard and heavy enough to
severely hurt any one coming within its
range. To avoid this danger the natives
of Brazil, during the nut harvest, cover
their heads and shoulders with a strong
wooden buckler.
The epithet "turn-coat had its
origin in Saxony. The dominions of
the Duke Of Saxony being between
France and Savoy, one of the early
Dukes hit upon the device of a coat of
blue On one side and white On the other.
When he wished to be thought in the
Spanish interest, he wore the blue out
side; when he wished to be considered
on the side Of the French, he wore the
white on the outside. From this he was
called Emmanuel Turncoat.

La Marn,ora,s lNar,.iage,
THE Spectator.

When Victor Emmanuel assembled the
throne he intrusted La Marmora with the
dangerous and delicate mission of restcr-
ing order in Genoa, then the seat of Re-
publican anarchy. La Marmora, fearing
that the $4,000 bayonets which Austria so
generously offered to Victor Emmanuel.
and which he declined, might be put in
motion without the permission of the king,
made haste to subdue rebellion by taking
the city by storm and putting Garibaldi in
prison. Under his firm, wise rule, order
and obedience to the laws were quickly re-
stored. Austrian bayonets had no pretext
for intervening, and even the king of Ma
pies expressed his admiration of La MAJ
mora to the Sandman minister.
D'Azeglio, who was then prime minister.
was much amused at the old enemy of
Piedmont commencing one of her sons.
dearest Cousin" he writes in his playful
manner, II am filled with envy to hear that
the king of Naples admires you and not
me. 1t was the bombardment that pleased
him, of course, and so I have no chance of
winning his esteem.'' There was at this
time in Genoa a rich English lady, Miss
BERTHE Mathews, whose acquaintance the
general had made in Turin; Ishe was re-
cent convert to Catholicism, and like all
new converts, was very devout.
Why Miss Mathews should
have preferred to be bombarded and held
under martial law with the revolutionists
of Geona, instead of remaining in the
pleasant and peaceful capital, does not
appear. La Marmora was too modest
man to suspect that he had "overcome
more than his enemies" but, though quite
ignorant of the state of her feelings, he
was not insensible to her influence and
yielded to growing inclination toward her,
all the more willingly because his sister
had praised her warmly, and
represented her as possessed of so
many excellent qualities that she
would be treasure as wife. Difficulties
presented themselves in the way of their
marriage, because of the lady being a con-
vert, consequently a bigot, and opposed to
the liberal principles of the La Marmora
family. But by this time he had grown
too fond OF the girl to give her up, and he
resolved finally to take his chance of hap
niness with her. La Marmora w&s now a
member OF the D'Azeglio ministry, and
though good Catholic and Moder-
ate of the Aioderates, his wife was per-
suaded by her Jesuit advisers that he was
treadlng the dangerous road that leads to
destruction, and that it was her duty to try
and stop him. 1t Is easy to conceive the
unhappy state of affairs that this idea oc-
casioncd. But by degrees the husbands
influence became paramount, and the Sig
nora La Marmora, though always devo-
tee, subsidized into most admiring wife.
''She does not love, she worships YOU"
wrote Dabormida to his friend in the
Crimea; and he repaid her affection by
lifelong chivalrous devotion.
