The Doom of Human Hair,

A startling prediction comes from
the Nineteenth Century club, says
The New York World. DR.. William
A. Hammond advances the opinion
that in about 1, 900 years, which will
1885 6, all mankind will be bald. I'm
less the generation living in that age
should choose to counterfeit their an
cestors of the present day by wearing
wigs only smoothly polished heads
destitute of capillary covering will be
visible from the family circles of our
churches Or of the galleries Of thea
tres.
DIR. Hammond does not undertake
TO predict to what men and women of
that distant era will resort to supsly
this deficiency of hair, or whether
they will regard it as a deficiency at
all. He only makes a proposition
based on his observation of the steady
increase of badness, without even
expressing an opinion whether the de-
cline of hair will be blemish or an
ornamentation. Perhaps the esteem
ed doctor is inclined to regard it as
the latter, since his own head emu
lateS Inc days or 1850, except as to g.
light filamentous fringe at the base of
the skull
1t is difficult to conjecture to what
this universal badness may lead. If
the present fashions should prevail in
those days, it is not improbable that
ladies may employ distinguished ar
fists to paint Mikado figures, birds of
bright plumage or indescribabIe ami
mails on their heads, and enterprising
men of business may use the smooth
space for advertising purposes. IF
ladies decide upon wearing wigs, the
business of the hair-dresser and the
lady's maid will be considerably light
ened.

ERNEST DE LANCEy PIERsoN, IN PUct

She lived in a primitive way,
She lived in a hut made of trees
With never moving in Nav
Unless when invaded by bees
Her husband had never night keys
Lodge nights were not then to deceive;
Nor was he addicted to spreeS-
What life led our relative, Eve!
He hadn't for bonnets to pay
Which accounts for his efforts to please;
Nor did he growl round every day
Ger his trousers that bagged at the knees
Unheard of were fashions DEGREES;
Her dolmans she knew how to weave
From grape leaves with greatest of ease
What life led our relative, Evel
Her stew-pans she wrought out of clay,
Her knives were the shells of the seas.
And she dined on spicy entree
or grapes and some ape fricaSsees.
To sleep with the top of the breeze
Was considered the cheese I believe
Which was healthy, no one but agrees
What life led our relative, Evel
Cast off fashions gay panoplies,
Society" maiden, retrieve;
Learn, while aping our first families
What life led our relative, Eve!

GOOD sAmARITANs'. MEETING.

GOOD SAMARITANs' MEETING.
A Large Gathering-Interesti Ad-
dresses by Judge Pickett and DIR.
VishnO.
The Good Samaritans held their second
meeting of the fall and winter campaign at
Carll's Opera House last evening. The at
tendance was very much larger than that at
the first meeting, and was made up of re-
spectacle class of ladies and gentlemen who
were evidently there for the purpose of lend
ing their countenance and support to the eff
fective work of temperance reform which the
Good Samaritans have inaugarated and for
several years have SO successfully carried for
ward. There were also a large number OF
young men in the audience, who gave respect
full attention to the several speakers and
seemed much interested in the proceedings.
President W. a. Conklin presided and af-
ter brief remarks announced the opening
hymn. After the singing, prayer was offered
by Brother J. q. Moore.
Judge r. S. Pickett was then introduced
and proceeded to discuss in a logical way the
evil effects arising from the use of intoxicat-
ing drinks. The Generalization arising from
indulgence in intoxicants was pictured in q
way OAdO COuI0 uOt OuO 10 COAf1AC1AS "
those who had become addicted to the habit.
The speaker expressed his earnest wish that
the traffic in strong drink might some day
be broken, but did not believe that this
would come until the public sentiment was
in favor of it and when that time arrived the
traffic would be crushed out of existence.
DIR. Charles Vishno followed Judge Pickett
in short address in which he urged the
young men to avoid the danger of creating
an appetite for strong drink and also to keep
clear of places where intoxicating drinks
were sold.
President Conklin made the closing appeal
in which he urged the young men especially
to sign the pledge and enroll themselves I'M
der the banner of the Good Samaritans. The
usual invitation to those present who had
not done so to come forward and sign the
pledge was then given.
Miss Irene Smith was introduced and gave
a recitation which was well received.
Miss Alice Fechter followed with sacred
song, "Sancta Maria" which was very beau
tifully rendered. She responded to a hearty
encore with a pretty little song which was
well received.
1t was expected that Mr.. A. Lubenow, the
accomplished musician, would give some Sc
lections on his accordion. It was not known
that he was present until after the meeting
adjourned and next Sunday evening he will
appear without fail. Rev. Mr.. Evans was
announced as one of the speakers at the next
meeting.

A Brilliant Display.

This is the season of the year when the Ia
dies are inquiring about the latest styles of
hats and bonnets for fall and winter wear,
and very naturally they look for the most
recent imported novelties in this line. B.

displays everything in this line that the Par

any of his previous efforts, and a tour

Mr.. Thomas Forsyth, proprietor of the
Elm City dye works md laundry, has in his
commodious garden at his residence on LON
bard street many fine pear trees of various
different varieties, which he and his sons
planted about IA years ago. The yield this
year has been unusually fine and large. He
has also in his garden a mammoth squash
weighing one hundred and fifty pounds, and
it is probably the largest produced in either
the fifth or 18th wards this season.
The COURIER was presented yesterday by
Mr.. James Hood, of William street, with as
fine cluster of wild strawberries as was ever
picked in the fields of Connecticut in Octo-
Der. There were many more in the same
