Colonial Mead-Dresses.

From the illustrated paper by Edward
Eggleston, in the home life of the colon
lists, in the April Century, we quote the
following: '"The dressing Of women's
hair kept pace with that of men. The
The 'commode' or tower head-dress rose
to a great height in the days of Queen
Anne, and then declined to rise into q
new deformity in the years Just preced-
ing the American Revolution. In 177l
bright young girl in Boston wrote to her
mother in the country description of
the construction upon her own head of
one of these coiffures, composed Of roll
of red cows tail mixed with horse hair
and little human hair of a yellow color,
all carded and twisted together and built
up until by actual measurement the sup
erstructure was an inch longer than the
face below it. OF hair-dresser at work
on another lady's head, she says; 4 saw
him twist and tug and pick and cut off
whole locks of gray hair at slice for the
space of an hour and half, when left
him, he seemingly not to be near done
One may Judge of the vital necessity
there was for all this art from the fact
that certain lady in Annapolis about
the close of the colonial period was &C,
customed to pay six hundred dollars a
year for the dressing of her hair. On
great occasion the hair-dresser's time was
80 fully occupied that some ladies were
obliged to have their mountainous coif-
ures built up two days beforehand, and
to sleep sitting in their chairs, or, accord
ing to Philadelphia tradition, with
their heads inclosed in box"

Fear of Exposure,

The st. Paul Pioneer Press truth
fully says: publicity is probably
the greatest moral agent at work in
the world to-day. The idea Of a
future punishment has paled its in-
effectual fires before the terror OF
being proclaimed in true colors to-
morrow morning to an entire com
munity, and published as a rascal
before the end of the week to several
millions of general readers. The
collection and diffusion of news is
essentially, therefore. work q
evangelization.

leave him leisure ior his studies,

An Appeal from the South.

Henry W. Grady of tho Atlantic Cone
s'itutioa, has an article in the April Cta-
ttry, in reply to Mr.. Cable, from which
we quote as follows: "Let no one imagine,
from what is here said. that the South is
careless of the opinion or regardless of
counsel of the outside world. On the
contrary, while maintaining firmly po-
sition she believes to be essential she
appreciates heartily the value of general
sympathy and confidence With an earn
estness that is little less than pathetic
she bespeaks patience and the impartial
judgment of all concerned. Surely her
situation should command this, rather
than indifference or antagonism. In pow
erty and defeat,-with her cities destroy
ed, her fields desolated, her labor disor-
ganized, her homes in ruins, her families
scattered, and the ranks of her sons
decimated, i'm the face of universal pre-
judice, famed by the storm of war into
hostility and hatred, under the shadow
of this sorrow and this disadvantage,
she turned bravely to confront problem
that would have taxed to the utmost
every resource of a rich and powerful
and victorious people. Every inch of her
progress has been beset with sore diff
culties; and if the way is now clearing,
it only reveals more clearly the tremen-
dious import of the work to which her
hands are given. 1t must be understood
that she desires to silence no criticism,
evade no issue, and lesson no responsible
ity. She recognizes that the negro is here
to stay. She knows that her honor, her
dear name, and her fame, no less than
her prosperity, will be measured by the
fullness of the justice she gives and guar
antees to this kindly dependent race.
She knows that every mistake made and
every error fallen into, no matter how
innocently, endanger her peace and her
reputation. In this full knowelge she
accepts the issue without fear or evasion.
She says, not boldly, but conscious of the
honesty and the wisdom of her conyic-
tions Leave this problem to my work
ing out. will soyle it in calmness and
deliberation, without passion or preju-
dice, and with full regard for the UNI
speakable equities it holds And with
the South the matter may be left-must
be left. There it can be left with the
fullest confidence that the honor of the
republic will be maintained, the rights of
humanity guarded, and the problem
worked out in such exact justice as the
finite mind can measure or finite agen-
cies administer" =
