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 length ou top. They want it long enough on top to frizz, or curl, or to Any one who has ever visited Kings ton, Canada, will recall the round towers which form a part of its exten sive fortifications. These, it is sup posed, were eopied from tho similar structures ou the coast of Ireland, which are about to bo demolished. The Irish towers were built at the time wheu Lord Cornwallis was Viceroy of Ire laud, at tho suggestion of tbe Duke oi Richmond, who had heard that tho town of Martello. in Corsica, had by means of similar defenses successfully resisted the attack of a fleet. This Duke of Richmond afterward became Governor General of Canada, and it was duriug his career that these Mar tello towers wore built for Kingston, then the capital of the united provinces of Upper and Lower Canada.

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.” Charity.

IN A CYCLONE. flocked aud Wrecked by the Charleston 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.) Hews and Courier. Courteuy in Mexico. One of the Mexican characters do serving of ail praise is the national lovs for children. Mexico is the children’s paradise. Children are loved and pet ted in public to an extent that makes an American, used to the stolid way? of his own country people, open Lb eyes in astonishment and pleasurt There is no affectation in the matter. A little child is the pet of the peoplo A baby is every one’s admiration, and here you may see fathers out walking with their children for the pleasure of the children's company. In shops and all places where people meet children art petted, and a baby in a shop if seized aud carried by an army of malo admirers. The courtesy of the young lads is an other feature to be noted. A group ol lads from 7 to 12 will meet, and eacl boy will decorously lift his hat anc salutations of extreme courtesy will bt exchanged, and then comes the boyist chatter, the fun aud the laughter, the same as arty where.

You will kill yourself from over feeding and then I'll be blamed for it. 1 told you distinctly that you were to adhere rigidly to a light diet, and here you are ordering beefsteak.” "Doctor,” replied the dyspeptic, "I came here in order to be better able to carry out your directions.” "How is that?” "You ordered a light diet, and when you see the size of the beefsteak a man gets at this restauraut you will admit that bo diet can be lighter. It is so light that a man can eat three steaks and not know it, unless he keeps count of them.” —Terns Siftings. The very newest note paper and ea» , Talopes vellow 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.
