O* Hair Dir —We don’t intend, in
the publication of the subjoined para
graph, to be personal, or to reflect on
such of onr fellow-citizens as design to
beautify and rejuvenate themselves by
the application of “dye stuffs" to the
“capillary substance" on their venerable
craniums. That is a privilege which
they undeniably possess, and with which
they have nothing to do; but as we
found the paragraph in an exchange;
and as it contains such a forewarning to
those who are not particular as to the
kind of dye-stuff they use, we give it a
place in our columns:
The Petersburg Index says a young
gentleman in that city, whose hair was
light, recently purchased a bottle of
quack hair-dye to improve on nature.
The second application produced an
effect almost as damaging as the catas
trophe in “Ten Thousand a Year,” for
his locks, from a bright yellow, turned to
a deep-violet color, forming a contrast
with his bright eyebrows and blonde
complexion—as pitiable as lndicrous.
.The victim has removed in-doors for
ten days, but his head is still purple.
This examplq should- be a warning to all
othess. Remember
There it a destiny that
Shapes our ends rough,
Hue them how we may.
New Firm under ax old Name.— lt
will be seen by reference to our adver
tising columns, that E. M. Bruce & Cos.
have associated with them, Major C. A.
Withers, their former Cashier. Mr.
Withers is a young gentleman of excel
lent business- qualifications, aud tbe
firm of whiefi he has become a member,
is one of the first in the country. In
deed, so well known is it to the public,
for reliability and promptness of des
patch, that it needs no. commedatiou
at our hands, further than that already
given.
Thanks.—Friend' Quinn will accept
our thanks for late numbers of the
New York dailies—the Herald, Times,
and Tribune.
River News.—The river stands three
feet nine inches. Arrivals on Sunday —* I
Two Boys and Swan. The Hard Times,
Two Boys and Swan left for Savannah
yesterday.
The Augusta Press.—Mr. E. H.
Pnghe has enlarged and improved his
paper. It is alive, and robust with
“healthy” jpatter. We commend the
Daily Press to those wanting a paper
from Augusta. —Neicbern (S. C.) Her
ald.
The Augusta Daily Press comes to
us greatly enlarged and beautified. It
is a good paper, and we wish it the most
abundant success.— Griffin (Ga.) Amer
ican Union.
The Augusta Daily Press comes to
us this week greatly enlarged and im
proved, and is now one of the cheapest
dailies in the State, being only $5 per
annum.— CartersviUe (Ga.) Express.
Charity.—Mr. A. T. Stewart, the
prince of dry goods merchants, has
presented tlie Petersburg (Va.) Orphan
Asylum with a roll of fine flannel and a
quantity of delaine, sufficient to furnish
each orphan with a dress.
Starting a Newspaper. Most
everybody has heard Jhe anecdote of
Sheridan’s telling his son to take a wife
when the son replied, “Yes, father, but
whose wife shall I take ?” A similar
story is the following: “A young gentle
man says to the colonel a few days
since, “Colonel, I wish to start a news
paper.” “Ve-y well,” replied the colonel,
“which newspaper do you wish to start.”
The Crop.—The accounts from South
ern and Southwestern Georgia are de
cidedly more encouraging, though noth
ing can be determined, without certainty
of a late frost. In the middle and upper
portions of the Stat%the prospect is un
changed. Advices from the West are
also more hopeful, though there is still
great uncertainty as to what the future
will bring forth.— Savannah News and
Herald.
Plain Talk.—A plain spoken West
ern preacher delivered the following from
his desk: “I would tt the
congregation that, probably by mistake,
there was left at this meeting-house, this
morning, a small cotton umbrella, much
damaged by time and wear, and exceed,
ingly pale in color, in place whereof was
taken a very large silk umbrella, and of
great beauty. Blunders of this sort,
brethren and sisters, are getting a little
too common.”
Brownlow. —Brownlow is a repre
sentative “ loyalist ” and an infernr.l
coward. He is the most envenomed old
scoundrel unhung on this continent;
and it is to be hoped that when the
“ three divisions ” start, they will com
mence with him. If these utterances of
his are loyat, there’s not a Southern man
—not a Northern man —not a patriot—
not a Christian—not a gentleman —who
wouldn't see our much loved country
dead and damned before he’d he loyal.
—Panola Miss. Star.
Thk Paris Charivari lias a picture of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The
telegrapher: “ What the deuce is the
meaning of this ? Dog 7 A dispatch
dated, Dog 7” “ Why, you see I did
not want to say New Found Land, be
cause that would be fifteen dollars, so
I wrote Dog to save ten dollars.”
The Beauties of Editing.—An
editor says, in a recent letter to a friend:
“At present I am in the country, re
covering from fourteen years editorial
life—bad eyes, crooked back, and broken
nerves, with little to show for it.” Arty
one would think the throe articles
enumerated were quite enough to show
for it.
Pics.—ln the United .States there are
more pigs than human population. In
England there is only one pig lot every
nine human inhabitants.

The Manufacture of Pens.
Pens, in the present stage of manu
facturing art, requires a greater share of
hand-labor than pins. At Mi*. Gilltjtt’s
Brimingham (England) establishment,
known as the “Victoria Works.” 120,-
000,000 pens are made each year by
guided by 400 women and
100 men,' “The steel,” says Mr. Measom,
“is procured from Sheffield. It is first
cut up into narrow strips, and is carefully
pickled by immersion in diluted sulphu
ric acid, and then reduced to the proper
thickness by being passed through metal
rolls. In this condition it is fit to be madef
into pens, and for this purpose it is passed
into the hands of a girl, who, with a
punch fitted into the screw of a hand
press, and a corresponding bed, speedily,
cuts out the blank. The next process,
namely, that of perforating the small
hole which terminates the slit, and re
moving any superfluous steel likely to
interfere with the elasticity of the pen,
is also done by a woman. The incipi
ent pens are now in a condition to have
the maker's name and any ornamental
device stamped upon them. For this
purpose they are annealed in large
quantities in a muffle, and, after being
cooled, they are placed under a large
stamp, in which is held the device to be
impressed, cut in steel; the hammer of
the stamp falls, and the marking and
ornamentation are complete. Up to
this stage the future pen is a flat piece of
steel. It is then transferred tp another
woman, who, by means of a press and
dye, makes it concave if it is to be a nib,
and forms the tube if it is to be a barrel
pen. Hardening follows. By this pro
cess a number of pens are put into an
iron box, which is placed in a “muffle; ”
when the whole is of a uniform red
heat, they are plunged into oil, and the
superfluous oil is removed by agitation in
a revolving cylinder. At this stage the
pen is as britde as glass, but the temper
ing which follows imparts elasticity.
After that, the peus are again placed in
a revolving cylinder, with pounded cru
cible sand, or some other cutting sub
stance, the abrasion of which, by the re
volving cylinder, speedily discloses the
natural color of the steel. Next follows
the grinding of the nib, by submitting it
to the emery wheel. The pen is then
in a condition to be slit, the slitting
being the most particular of the many
processes of steel pen-making. A chisel
or wedge with a flat side is fixed to the
bed of a press, and the descending screw
has a corresponding chisel or cutter at
tached to it, which passes down and is
most accurately fitted. The pen is laid
on the lower chisel, the screw is made and
the pen completed. The last stage is
the coloring, brown or blue. This is
done by placing the bright steel pens in
a revolving iron cylinder, under which is
a charcoal stove, until the desired color
is arrived at. The final brilliancy is im
parted by immersing them in gum lac
dissolved in naphtha.”
Newspaper Postage.—By a recent
order of the Post Office Department all
newspapers addressed to the following
countries beyond Germany, when for
warded in the closed mail to Prussia,
must be fully prepaid to their destina
tion, at the rates named :
Russia, including Fin’and and Po
land; 8 cents each; Sweden, 10 cents;
Norway, 13 cents; Denmark, 9 cents ;
Schleswig-Holstein, 8 cents ;
land, 9 cents; Italy, via Switzerland,
11 cents, Papal States, via Switzerland,
12 cents; Turkey, via Jerusalem, 14
cents; Turkey, via Trieste, 11 cents;
Greece, via Trieste, 14 cents; Egypt,
via Trieste, 11 cents; British East In
dies and China, via Trieste, 13 cents;
Farther India, Dutch and French pos
sessions, via Trieste, 15 cents.
—There are in all, including steam’
boat piers and railway stations, silty-two
inlets to the city of London, through
which in the course of each twenty-four
hours no fewer than 706,021 persons
enter, a number equal to one-fourth of
the entire metropolitan population, or,
added to the sleeping population, to
more than the entire population of Dub
lln, Edinburgh, aud Glasgow put to
gether.
Manufactures.— Let it be kept be
fore the people, that to save fifteen dol
lars on every five hundred pounds of
Cotton, is to manufacture Colton inhere
it it yroum ; and to manufacture Cotton
in Sonth Carolina: is to quadruple its
value to the State. As the Charleston
Hews, in one of its able articles, justly
observes, the cotton mill has been the
means of building up the largest for
tunes in the world. Old England and
New England owe much of their great
wealth to this cause, and what may;ni4
South Carolina—what may not Coinin'
bia, with lujcinagnijiqept water power,
do in following the same pursuit ?
Georgia and Alabama are pushing for
ward in the good work. The Augusta
(Ga.) Factory has just declared its third
quarterly, dividend of five per cent. Let
us not behindhand. There is a grand
here for capitalists, and he who
comes first will enjoy the lion’s share.
Onr publiMplrited citizen, 1 Colonel L. D.
Childs, has already led off in the good
work. The Saluda Factory has been
rebuilt, and will be in running order in
less than two months with the best ma
chinery that can be imported. A large
number of hands will thus be employed,
and from four to five bales of Cotton per
day be worked into the finest yarn. Will
not others follow ? 0
The Episcopal House op Bishops.
—A New York dispatch, of a recent
date, says the House of Bishops of the
Episcopal Church have not agreed, as
yet, upon the choice of a Bishop for
Nevada. The proceedings are secret—
so much so, indeed, that the most per
manent and ingenious newspaper re
porter has been baffled in his attempt
'to gain eutrance. An effort was made
in the last General Convention to do
away with this feature, but only a few
of the Right Rev. Fathers could be got
in favor it.
North Carolina Politics.—Dr. J.
T. Leach, a prominent citizen of John
ston county, writes to the people of that
county:
“ If this amendment be not adopted,
none of us need be surprised should the
next Congress revoke every Presiden
tial pardon, confiscate property, and force
universal suffrage upon us. Let us be
wise in time, and avert these calamities
by submitting to the requirements of
the lawmaking power.”
—A gre tt deal has been said aDd
written about what is called “trick” in
art. Yet it seems to be of little conse
quence by what means a painter pro
duces his effects, so long as he produce
them. It is said that Ansdell obtains
the peculiar crispness of the plumage of
ducks and other birds by the applica
tion of a piece of poplin while the paint
is still wet.
