Failure of the Copper Conference.

BosToN, May 4 The Herald has a
three column cable from Paris on the fail
ure of the copper conference. The Rio
Unto company insisted that the American
mines should send only 20 per cent of
their copper surplus to Europe, a PROPOSE
ton that Col. Livermore, representing the
Calumet and Hecla company, would not
agree to. The correspondent says the
conference failed to arrive at any agree
ment, written or verbal, and it broke up
without fixing the price. The American
committee left Paris in disgust and will
sail for New York Saturday, and by the
time this message is presented copper VIII
be put on the open market aud sold for
what it will bring.

The Riot at Oxford.

No more forcible illustration of the con.
sentative instinct which causes usages of the
middle ages to survive to the present day
could be cited than the riot at Oxford, which
occurred on Feb. 10, 1854. AT that time
frequent conflicts took place between the
students of the university of Oxford and the
citizens. The contest continued three days.
On the second day in tho evening the citizens
called the country people to their assistance
and thus REINFORCED they completely over
powered the scholars, considerable number
of whom were killed and wounded The
citizens were on this account debaIred from
the rites and consultations OF the church; their
privileges were greatly narrowed; they were
heavily fined, and an annual penance forever
was enjoined that on each anniversary Of the
conflict the mayor and sixty-two citizens
should attend at St Mary's church, where
the Litany should be read at the altar and an
oblation Of one penny made by each man.

Effects of Heavy Hnir.

other day Heavy hair may be burden
some to weak people by its weight in the

same sense that all growth may be, and the
growth is ordinarily compensated for by
food. In any event, there is no way al re-
tarding the growth of the hair. Cutting
only stimulates it, but it may relieve the
sense of weight.
