The associations which cluster around this anniversary are dear to the heart of every true Irishman, and the spirit with which they cherish the dav, illustrates the devotion with which they cling to the memories ofthe ould sod.” Asa notice of this anniversary was crowded out of our last issue, we may now observe that St. Patrick, according to historic annals, was instrumental in converting Ireland from Paganism to Christianity. He also, among other truly marvelous deeds banished reptiles from the Green Isle, and to this day no snake or toad, or other venomous animal, can be found throughout ils borders.— St. Patrick was a native of Brittany, in France,and being captured in Gaul by the Bretons and carried to Rome, was sold in the market place. He was bought by the Roman Pontiff, and cent by him as an apostle to Ireland, where his name is linked with so many events iu the amelioration of her people, at it is cherished by every true rishman, *nd has been commemorated in song and story for filteen hundred years.

The London Telegraph publishes a long account of experiments with a mi croscope, which revealed great numbers of grtgouines, or what, in common par lance, would be called nils. On sub jecting them to heat it was found thst they increased in size, and—oh 1 horror —presented the unmistakable peculiari ties of the pediculus humani auKjttfond the writer says his satisfied' him that much of ihJßrtused in the manufacture of these fashionable appendages contains germs of an insect life which may, at nny moment spring into a vitality that would prove distress ing beyond measure, and be, by no means, easy to eradicate. ' On the other hand, the London Re view, with an evident desire to consols the ladies, who in England, as every where else, glory in a rich display of hair, whether their own, or the wig makers—comes to the reache, and says that gregarines fonud so generally in dead hair vie possibly net animals, and may be a comparatively harmless, Though disgusting vegetable formation. So fake whichever horn they will, the ladies must face the scientific fact, that artificial hair, whether obtaiued from the dead, or from the dirty peasantry of Europe, is full either of the seeds of animal or vegetable life, of the most “disgusting” character. Whether these disclosures are true or not, the bare idea they convey is enough to make the sight of a waterfall repul sive. If the theory be the creature of the imagination, it' is horrible to have the imagination harrowed by such sus picions, and it is likely that we shall see some speedy change in the mode of wearing the hair, which will make the dear creatures less dependant on questionable sources for their hirsute glories. A .... , ‘ Not Dead. —The announcement of the death of J. B. D. Deßow, Esq., so widely made, is an error. He is stilj alive and earnestly at work for the de velopment of the “land we love.” Fire. —As our paper was going to press this morning, (half past two o'clock), a fire broke out in the base ment of the Orphan House, Ward 6. Our firemen were promptly on the spot, and succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames. We were unable to as certain whut amount of damage was done.— Charleston Courier, 18 th. Bn tTricgrapl).
