The Hair Of Aun Arbrr Studcnts.

The pompadour haircut worn by
Ann Arbor students is self explanatory,
and the only thing Of its kind known
to fame. 1t is severely classical, Julius
Cesar having been takon down with it
tho night ho rolled up his trousers legs
and waded across the IIcllespont. Tho
barber who performs the delicate opcr-
alton was pulled grccn and ripened to
order. he has got the business down
fine and can talk his customers to death
In all tho ancient and modern Ian
guages. He always makes change in
English, however. Tho student pom
padour is low-ncckcd and hort-slccved
on the sides, and is cut en- train over
the skylight of the intellect This
builds tho head up in the swamp lands
which nature often gives over to hard
ness of heart and imparts collegiate
turn of mind to the architectural plan
OF tho whole stage business. a young
man often enters tue university with q
head constructed on the cottage plan,
with all tho bedrooms downstairs, and
leaves it, after few years Of intimacy
with tho pompadour barber, to all ap-
pearances n thoroughly reformed man.
Nature has n way of getting tired
sometimcs, and lying down beside hor
work and going to sleep before the
supper. bell rings. This givos the Ann
Arbor barber n chance to demonstrate
wherein he knows moro about his bus
iness than tho original architect. BY
pruning from tho side of the head and
putting on hip roof whore nature had
let it go ut composition, he generally
manages to impart an air of intellectu-
ality that is warranted to hatch chick
ems from door-knobs. If tho patient
has been playing with tho university
for several years, tho intellect is allow
cd to project over the brow, to indicate
that seats inside arc selling at pre-
MUM. This is tho only truo reason
why Ann Arbor students arc longer
headed than tho rest Of mankind.

An AnCcuotc Cf Madison.

A letter published in tho Washington
Post gives an interesting account of q
journey made by Andrew Jackson's
secretary Of state from Washington to
James Madison estate of"MontDelicr"
near Orange Courthouse, Va. After
an uncomfortable day and night rido
In an old-fashioncd Virginia stage
coach over heavy roads, Mr.. Living
ston arrived ut Montpelier at l o'clock
In tho morning. MIR. Madison was
aroused and tho secretary of state was
shown to his chamber. Tho latter
says:
He found tho venerable fathcr of tho
constitution wan and wasted old man,
whose hair was blanclod and whose
form was wasted by blasts of more than
eighty winters He had arisen from an
antique poster and curtaincd bed and
was sitting boforo 4 wood fire, and by
his side stood n small and simple table,
on which thcro burned q single tallow
| candle. Tho venerable statesman was
himself curtaincd and almost concealed
by night-gown that reached TO his
feet. But Mr. Livingston said that as
soon as he had opened up the contonts
of his solitary embassy to tho old seer
he showed, like Moses, that "his eve
was not dim, neither was his natural
face abalcd." He requested Mr.. Liv-
ingston TO read the proclamation to
him (meantimo ordering another can.
die to be lighted Mr.. Livingston hold
ing the paper close to and between the
two dim lights), and during the read.
ing MIR. Madison gave austcro audience,
sometimes suggesting modification,
an lntcrlincation or Il slight para
phrase, but this mentally and subject.
lvcly. Whom MIR. Livingston had tin-
ished, MIR. Madison, after somo quiet
reflection, requested to have the paper
roread. Again Mr.. Livingston slowly
and deliberately read, again tho great
and grave constitutionalist from be.
meath his night cap muttcrcd mental
modification. Finally, he asked that
ho might road the document and note
upon 1T tho changes or comments which
| Cen jackson had requested. This he
| dld, and his intcrlineations were us
| tcrse and beautiful and pithy rs the
pages of the Ftdcralist.
And now tho gray of the dawn was
stealing through tho curtains. Mr..
Madison remarked that he had had MIR.
LlVlngston's carriage sent back, and
that ho would drive with the secretary
Ill his own carriage to the Court-Houso
to catch tho stage for Fredericksburg
and that thcy would walk down to
breakfast while the carriage was being
| prepared. 1t So fell from somo mis-.
calculation that when they reached
Orange Courthouse they found tho
stage had already some time gone. Mr.
Madison at once insisted that Mr.. Liv
ingston should use his carriage to Fred
erlcksburg, writing and giving tn,
coachman noto to the landlord of
tavern midway between the Stages, 0
nearly so, instructing him to furnish
fresh team thence TO Frcdcrickspur,
and return. When within some tel
miles of Fredericksburg tho stage wa
ovcrtakcn and passed, and Mr. Living
ston was thus enabled to anticipate hi
closest calculations. When he rcachc,
the white house tho following day an,
submitted the revised draft to the pres
ldcnt, it was formulated and promui
gated in tho form and phrase of the re
vision.

How Flying Fish Fly.

An excellent opportunity of observ-
Ing the aerial means of propulsion in
the flying fish was afforded mo during Q
six days calm lately when crossing
tho Bay of Bengal. watched day by
day some hundreds rise under tho bows
of tho ship. Tho water surface was a
CLASSY calm. AS each fish rose it

boating tho surface with thom two or
three strokes before thoy stcadied out.
say apparently, for it was not def
mt nnto peat SO much as struggle to rise.
The tail which, of course under water
was IN rapid motion to escape from the
snip, now gaVc ten or dozen rapid
beats, which could be counted by the
rlpplcs on tho still surface, and tho fish
was off in aerial flight.
AS each fish lost the impetus of tho
first rise, which generally happened at
ABOUT forty yards, tho binoculars show
cd us the anal fins, which had till now
been fully extended, dropping to feel
tho water AS soon as the surface was
felt the tail was introduced and five or
six smart strokes, also indicated bv
ripples, brought the impetus ND again
and carried tho fish about another
thirty yards, whcn another drop sent
it on again, and so forth, somo of the
older fish travelling in this way 400 to
500 yards. Tho younger fish frequent
ly fell awkwardly IN this attempt to
regain impetus. When waves arc
running it requires a clever fish to
gain impetus by few Judicious strokes
on the crest of wavc, and many q
hsh tumbles over in tho attempt.
once saw fish rise close to the
sship's quarter. and it flow parallel with
tho ship, pursued below by a dolphin
or bonita; Tho latter followed overy
sway OF tho fish, Keeping almost un-

pnrsuer mado a dart forward, but
