About GRAY Hair.

Medical and Surgical Reporter.
Many persons begin to show gray hairs when
they yet in their twenties, and some while
in their teens. This does not by any means
argue premature decay of the constitution.
1t is purely local phenomenon, and may coexist
with unusual bodily vigor. The celebrated
author and traveller, George Borrow, turned
quite gray before he was thirty, but was an ex-
traordinary swimmer and athlete at sixty five.
Many feeble persons, and others who have
suffered extremely both mentally and physically
do not blanch a hair until past middle life, while
others, without assignable cause, lose their cap
Hilary coloring matter when about forty years Of
age.
Race has marked influence. The traveller
DR.. Orbigny, says that IN the many years he
spent in South America he never saw bald
Indian, and scarcely ever gray-haired one
The negroes turn more slowly than the whites.
Yet we know a negress of pure blood, about
thirty five years old, who is quite gray. In this
country sex appears to make little difference
Men and women grow gray about the same
period of life In men the hair and beard rarely
change equally. The one is usually darker than
the other for several years. but there seems no
general rule as to which whtens first. The spot
where grayness begins differs with the indi-
vidual The philosopher Schopenhauer began to
turn gray the temples, and complacently
framed a theory that this is an indication of
vigorous mental activity.

PLAIN PRINCESSES.
The Rarity of Royal Beauty in the Present
Genaratiop

The Rarity of Royal Beauty in the Present
Generation.
Lucy Hooper, in Philadelphia Telegraph.
Speaking of royal beauty, am told that the
Princess Victoria of Teck, eldest daughter of
the Princess Mary Of Cambridge Duchess of
Teck, is the prettiest royal maiden of marriage
able age now to be found in Europe. Probably
her fair face will make her matrimonial fortune
as was the case with the obscure Bavarian
princess, who became Empress of Austria by
reason of her extreme loveliness. 1t Is a curious
fact that the generation of royal ladies that is
now assuming the aspects of the past as regards
their youth and beauty, were far more con-
splcuouS for their possession OF personal charms
than their successors will be. The Expresses
Eugene and Elizabeth of Austria, the Princess
of Wales, and Queen Marguerite OF
Italy, were all famous beauties, and
the two latter are still charming
enough to merit the admiration of the world
But the fair Alexandria is beginning to look like
the mother of grown.up family, and it Is
whispered that Ter profuse tresses are not the
growth Of her own shapely head. None of her
daughters, except perhaps the youngest, the
Princess Maud, gives any promise of inheriting
even portion of her charms. The future
Empress of Austria, the Princess Stephanie Of
Belgum has neat graceful figure, but
hopelessly plain face The Queen of Spain has
no claims whatever to good looks Her prede-
cessor, the luckless Mercedes, was very pretty
girl, but the Princess Christine the sister of
Mercedes, who died on the of her betrothal
to the young King Alfonso, was apositive fright.
None of the Orleans Princesses are pretty
The three surviving daughters of Queen Isa-
bella of Spain are all very plain, being thin,
and sallow and angular. The Empress of
Russia is beauty, despite her small stature,
and she has the loveliest and softest brown eyes
in the world But her youngest sister, the Prin-
cess Thyra, Duchess of Cumberland, was home
ly enough to scare the poor young Prince Impe-
rial into going to Zululand rather than make
her an offer of his hand, NJ Rouher and the
Princess Eugene had planned that he should do
The Princess Louise of Wales has a heavy jaw
and hanging under hp, and looks hopeessly dull
and stupid Altogether the present generation
of young royal ladies is sadly deficient in physi-
Ca. comeliness IF things go on like this"
remarked the Princess Beatrice, then young
| and saucy girl, on the occasion of her sisters
betrothal to the Marquis of Lorne, my mother
will end up by marrying me to a Yankee" And
that is what her cousins and her nephews may
be forced to come to if they are positively set
upon espousing none but beautiful girls

originally was chiefly vehicle for communicate
ing to the public the acts and DEGREES of the
government Contact with and assistance from
Europeans has, however led to the establish
ment of newspapers containing more miscellane-
Gus contents and constructed more on Western
models. There is is numerous literary class in
China. with comparatively little TO do, and in
their hands the new instrument bids fair to de-
velop into valuable educational force. The
writer singles out for special commendation the
Shanghai Gazette and several other papers of
Hong Kong These papers contain local intelh-
eence, advertisements and other items to be
found in European journals. But the ablest
feature in them is the criticisms on purely
native affairs, which briste with references to
Chinese literature, and are marked by wonder
full felicity of style. In dealing with foreign
topics the writers, however show great falling
off. They humor the patriotic preiudices of the
people, and their productions are marked by
extreme jingoism. The acts of the government
and of local officials are freely treated, and CEN
sures are literally INDUCED in At first attempts
were made to suppress these papers, but they
are now grudgingly tolerated by the authorities,
and bid fair to become new and potent factor
in the national life.

4 SERIOUS sT1BBING AFFRAY.
Michael Mitchell Has IA Knife

A very serious stabbing ARRAY took
place in this city, near Third and Monroe

night he came out of barber slot g
Third and Monroe streets in comlu!.
with Thomas Pugh, letter carrier. They
had walked short distance when some
men, about five he thinks, attacked Pugh
and he (Pugh) took to his heels.
Mitchell cried ''don't you strike
that man. He is attending to his bust,
ness. Let him alone" Whereupon the
| rutfinns came back to him and made two
att lnpts to strike. Suddenly one of the
men, byaquick movement, closed in on him
and drove large knife blade to the hilt
in his back. He cried, "Nly , I'm
stabbed and hardly had he said it than
his assailant again drove the knife blade
through the tieshy part of his arm. The
ruffians then fed.
Mitchell. with blood streaming from
his wounds, wandered to DIR. Fahey's
office on Fourth street, where the cuts
were dressed. He was then removed &c
his home. His condition is yet very
serious, and should inflammation set in
he cannot live.
