The Hliort-Hair Graze.
Tlio cra/.o among the ladies for wear
ing the hair short is becoming general
and spreading all the country over. It
has already liecome very popular,
among other places in Rochester, N.
Y., where the most stylish young ladies
are parting with their raven and gold
en tresses. There was a time when
it was considered somewhat "fast” for
a lady to wear her hair short, but
since Miss Cleveland, the President’s
sister, the present mistress of the White
House, and, by common courtesy, the
"first lady in the land," wears her
locks shorn quite short and advocates
the custom ou the ground of comfort,
convenience and health, it has bocomo
the style. Time was, too, wheu a short
haired lady was so rare that her ap
poaranco in public places attracted
general attention. But that was a good
while ago. The prominent hair-cutters
aro becoming quite proficient iu cut
ting the hair of their rapidly increas
ing lady patrons. Somo interesting and
strange scenes aro now seen iu tho
hairdresser’s establishments aud bar
ber shops.
"A handsome young lady just from
boarding-school came into my shop
Tuesday and said she wauled her hair
cut just like Miss Cleveland’s,’’ said a
prominent barber. “She had a pieturo
of the President’s sister for me to look
at; and with tho suggestion given by
her companion, who had seen Miss
Cleveland, and with tho aid of tho pho
tograph, 1 cut and trimmed her hair to
her complete satisfaction. O, 1 dont
know who or what started the style.
Perhaps Miss Cleveland had something
to do with it, but 1 am inclined to believe
that Miss Maud Granger, Miss Dora
Wiley, and other actresses aud singers
who are great favorites with women,
started the style here. Os course it
helps our business; but, leaving all sol
lish reasous aside, is it not the most
reasonable cra/.o that has recently
come into style? Why you have no
idoa what a constant trouble a heavy
head of hair is to a woman. It has to
bo dressed two or three times a day,
and this takes up a great deal of a
woman’s time. With loug and heavy
hair, it is ditlicult for a lady to keep
her scalp clean uud hoalthy.
••What do ladies do with their shorn
tresses?"
"They tako them away with them.
Some of them bring old corset-boxes
for this purposo, aud when no box of
this shape is huudy l do up the hair i-l
a paper.”
“Do thoy sell it?"
"1 don’t know. 1 don’t believe many
of my customers have, for they inva
riably exhibited more of a fondness for
the hair than for the inouey they would
derive from the sale of it. Mo, 1 think
they take it home and keep it. When
it becomes stylish to wear the hair
long again they will have switches
made of it.
"Yes, we have some queer scenes ia
our shops now," continued the hair
cutter.
"A young lady who comes to have
her locks cut oil always bring* a lady
companion with her, aud sometimes
they bring two or three. Their con
versation while 1 am at work would
make you laugh. A girl was in hero
with iier mother, the other day, and
had her hair cal quite short. It was
the first time the shears had ever
touched the girl’s hair, aud she shook
with fear when 1 began and she felt
the cold steel ou her neck. Two sisters
where here one day last week, and
when 1 cut the hair of one the tears
rau dowu the checks of tho other like
raindrops. Queer creatures, these wo
men, areu’t they?”
"Is there auy particular style in cut
ting ladies hair now?"
"Well, the most of those who have
been here have had their hair cut very
short on the back of the head—indeed,
almost as close as young men wear
their hair—and moderately good

SEA MONSTERS.
A School of Monstroos Fish Create Excite
ment In Galveston.
Brief mention, says the Galveston
Few!., has already been made of a
school of enormous and curious fish
that were imprisoued off the gulf shore
between tbe bars in front of the Beach
bote, and the attempt that was made
to secure them by a detachment of
Sealy rifles, doing their first active ser
vice with musketrv. What effect the
battery of tbe Sealeys may have had
upon the sea monsters is not known,
save that it was not effectual in bring
ing the enemy to any terms of capitu
lation or capture. In defiance of the
citizen soldiery the mammoth monsters
of the deep were seen disporting them
selves again in the gulf once more and
another bombardmonl was commenced
with every conceivable appliance of
firearms, save that the artillery were
not called out with their big guns.
A party was organized by Mr. S. F.
Blunt, of the quarantine station to
carry the war into the enemy’s camp
and fight them in their own element
with harpoons. For this purpose a
whaling yawl and several harpoons
were secured, and Mr. Joe Williams,
an expert haipooner and an old whaler
was introduced to make one of the
party, owning to his experience in
battling with such adversaries.
The party had not been out long be
fore they sighted one of the monsters
about the foot of 29th street, and pro
ceeded to give chase. The fish, to uso
Mr. Blunt's description, had the ap
pearance of the upper portiou of a
street ca 1- passing through the water,
its superficial dimensions appearing to
be sixteen by eighteen feet, or at least
this much of the surface was shown
above wator. The party rowed within
one hundred yards of the monster, and
front its appearance at that distance,
and from two horns protrudiug from
the bead about two and a half feet in
length, Mr. Joe Williams, relying up
on His long experience as a whaler,
pronounced it at once to be what is
commonly known as a devil fish. Only
one, however, of the several that were
Ereviously seen, was discovered by the
arpooning party, and he was swim
ming in an easterly direction in about
seven feet of water, the maximum
depth inside the inner bar, where the
monster had got by some unaccounta
ble means and was uuable to get out
again, as in this depth he left a wake
of mud and sand behind him in swim
ming. and the water on the inner bar
over which he would have to pass to
get again into the water was only a
depth of about four and a half or five
feet with the then prevailing tide. It
was swimming about two hundred
yards from shore, and was sagacious
enough to koep at the maximum depth
between tho bar and shore. While tho
party were giving »hase the squall
came un, causing them to abaudon
the chase and look to their owu safety
in getting to shore, thus breaking into
a fair prospect of capturing tho sea
monster, as be could not have gotten
over the bar with the tide in the con
dition in which .i then w ¥+■
From a description of the cephalop
tera vampyrus (devil fish) in the Am
erican Kucyclopedia. which tallies
verv much with tho description giveu
by Mr. Blunt of what he saw, it ap
pears that Mr. Williams may have
been correct in naming the rare visitor.
The devil fish, as described in the en
cyclopedia, has what is known as pec
torals, making the transverse diameter
of the fish greater than the longitudin
al thus accounting for tho peculiar
dimensions given—l 6by 18 feet. A
specimen of this fish, caught in the
Atlantic, near the entrance of Dela
ware bay, in 1823, weighed about five
tons, and was 17J feet long by 18 feet
wide; the skin on the back was black
ish brown, and on the belly black and
white; the mouth was 2} feet wide, the
greatest breadth of tho skull 5 feet, and
the distance between the eyes 4 1-6
feet The cranial appendages, or
horns, were 2} feet long and a foot
wide. The description of the color
and tho size of the mouth above given
also corresponds in detail with the de
scription given of the monster, the
subject of yesterday’s search.
The same authority also states that
"the devil fish is occasionally seen on
the coast of the southern states in sum
mer and autumu, and wonderful
stories are told of its strength and
ferocity, its extraordinary shape and size
having transformed a powerful but in
oflensive animal into a terrible mons
ter. Other species are met with in the
tropical parts, both in mid-ocean and
ou sandy coasts, which they approach
to bring forth their youug. * * *
The truth appears to bo that the devil
fish. though powerful and hideous, is a
timid and harmless creature, at Aiding
rather than attacking a man, but when
attacked and defending itself is dan
gerous.”

Galt.
F. J. McGarey, whose house was
wrecked and whose family had a nar
row escape from death, gives the fol
lowing account of his experiences: "It
was. said he, “a time of terrible sus
pense and anxiety. There were in tho
bouse with me my wife, my mother-in
'aw, my sister-in-law, and my three
children. From two o’clock in the
norning until 6 o’clock we were all up,
and all hands except the children were
*ept pretty busy in the effort to secure
the windows and doors of the house.
During all this time the house next
west of tho Moultrie House was roek
ng like a cradle. I made several
efforts to get over the way to my friend,
Mr. Barrigan, in order to see how he
was getting on and to offer assistance
to him if he needed it, but failed to
make the trip. It wa3 simply an im
possibility. Every time I ventured out
into the front piazza the wind threw
me down to the ground and carried
me under the house, which I could on
ly reach again byway of the back
rtairs, which were on the leeward side
of the house.
"About 8 o’clock my troubles was
increased. My wife became seasick
from the constant rocking of the house,
and had to take a couch. Her services,
which had heretofore been invaluable,
were sadly missed. Shortly after this
1 went on the back piazza of the house
to see how tho kitchen, a substantial
structure, was weathering the storm,
when to my horror the roof was lifted
off and thrown to the street, and the
sides laid out like so many cards. I
then managed to get down the back
steps, and, seeing that the posts of the
house were giving away, crawled to
the side nearest the Moultrie House,
and holding on to the corner post of
the house tried as well as 1 could by
signs (the sound of my voice being un
able to be heard) to convey to several
men standing on the rear piazza my
want of assistance.
"I then managed to get up-stairs in
to the main building, which was roll
ing, and told the folks that we had to
get out as soon as possible, as tho
house would soon be down upon us.
Just then a colored man, who had wa
ded through the seething waters which
had covered the whole island, made
his appearance and took one of the
children. After him came Mr. Cogs
well, who took another. My sister-in
law, who had behaved like a hero
throughout our rough experience,
managed to get out and took with her
the remaining chilti. I then hastened
to the room where I left my wife, aud
not finding her there passed into the
sitting-room, where she was assisting
her mother, and just as I reached them
I felt the floor give way, and in a mo
ment the whole structure came down
and we were all buried in the ruins.
"Fortunately, we escaped with our
lives. None of us were struck by the
falling beams. Scrambling to our feet
we managed to get to the rear door, to
find that the steps had gone down with
tho house. With the assistance of
those who had returned from the Moul
trie House we managed to get over
there, where we were kindly taken
care of by Mrs. Fairly and the ladies of
tbe house, whose kindness 1 shall
never forget.” —Charleston (S. C.)

THE niKXICAN COJUB HESS ■
Mexico is nominally governed by a
Congress, first called September 14,
1813, which has probably seen as many
vicissitudes as any assembly on earth
has ever seen in the same time. It has
been ebased hero and there, dissolved,
expelled, recalled, and remodelled, un
til it has finally settled down into an
established institution. It now consists |
of a Senate of about sixty members, 1
which meet in a room in the National
Palace, and a Chamber of Deputies of i
some two hundred and twenty mem
bers, which meet in the old Theatre of
Iturbide, over half a mile from the ;
National Palace. In appearance this
Congress could hardly be distinguished
from that of the United States. Fully j
nine-tenths of its members are of pure :
white blood, and the other tenth have
no more color than fashion demands of j
a stylish brunette. No traces of rustic
ity, coarseness, ignorance, or stupidi
ty are visible, nor is there any sign of
what is generally known as Mexican j
costume. Both bodies are composed of
eminent soldiers, scholars, lawyers, j
and members of other professions, with
young men whose talents have attract- !
ed notice; aud the members show a !
degree of politeness and dignity that
would improve many of our State Le
gislatures. Their conversation in the !
lobbies and on the floor shows an ex
traordinary degree of culture and edu
cation, aud both bodies are tho last to j
which one would look for subserviency J
to the Executive.
Theoretically this Congress is eloeteu
by the people. Practically it is elected
by the President. A note to the officer
in command of the military district, or
to tho political chief —a civil officer
whose actual powers are co-extensivc
with tho requirements of any emergen
cy—recommending a certain person as
a suitable subject for a Congressman,
rarely fails. Should it fail, the error is
easily corrected in the canvass, or still
more easily in the final returns. In
the federal district—the city of Mexico
and its environs—the elective system
is still more charmingly simple. Should
there be two candidates, which is rare
ly tho case, the defeated candidate is
the last one on earth to complain or
contest the seat.
A congress so elected can be nothing |
but a ratifying committee. Especially j
must it be so in the country like Mexi- j
co, with a vast ignorant lower class |
taking no interest in public affairs iu ;
time of peace, with no middle class
worthy of mention, and with an upper
class too small to resist the army, which
must bo kept up to restrain the turbu
lant part of the lower class. Under
such circumstances it is quite useless
for a representative to be independent.
The result would be the loss of a good
position, with $250 a month for doing
next to nothing. And should he find
himself, upon some pretext, banished
to Yucatan or languishing in prison,
his nominal constituents are the last
ones on the earth to whom he can look
for redress.
The visitor in the galleries of tho
Mexican Congress sees at once the es
feet of this. Day after day the Houses
meet, and adjourn in a few momems
after hearing the minutes of the last
meeting and a formal communication
or two from some state legislature"d."
officer. Occasionally a bill is passed.
But it goes as a matter of course, the
members taking no interest in it.
Many do not even hear their names
called, and their assent is assumed;
others give a delicate nod or little
wave of the hand; while others merely
smile at the secretary, as if conscious
of the absurdity of the ceremony. The
Congressman cares no more for the
"dear people” than the people care for
him. Respect for them can only get
him into trouble, whereas respect for
the President will insure his return.
His constituents trouble him with no
letters, instructions, resolutions, or
petitions; and he in return spares them
tbe infliction of public documents,
printed speeches, papers, and all other
evidences of his regard.— T. S. Van
