Very few of our gentle readers, probably, ever heard or imagined such a thing as a Human Hair Fair. As few, perhaps, over thought of inquiring into the source of the beautiful tresses which are seen in the win dows of the hair dressers. We are remind ed, however, by a late French paper, that this is the season of tha annual hair fair at Morlaas, in the lower Pyrenees in France. Morlaas is near the city of Pau, and it is from a Pau journal that we derive some ac count of the fair the present season. The hair dealers crowd into the place from all points from Toulouse, and even Bordeaux. famous for their fine and abundant heads of hair, flock to the market like sheep, to be shorn of their locks for the adornment of other and prouder heads. Even young hus bands accompany their wives, to insist upon their despoiling themselves, for a trifling consideration, of their beautiful heads of hair. Twenty francs is the highest price which is given for the richest head of hair, and a majority of the damsels part with their locks for a tenth part of that sum. This singular market is held in the open street, and attracts crowds of curious as well as interested persons. Girls are seeu to be sheared in public, while others are wait ing their turn, with their caps in their hands, and their long hair combed out and hanging down to their waists. The shearers are men as well as women. Some of our fair readers will conclude that this must be a degrading scene. But how else could the stock of wigs, and frizettes, and bands, and top pieces, nnd curls which is needed to prop up the tottering beauty of the sex, be sup plied ? Tons of black silken hair, sheared in the manner above described, from the heads of the peasant damsels of the south of France, are imported into this country annually. There are fairs in other places in the south of France and in Brittany, where adventu rous virtuosos buy up and shear the crops of the fair-haired damsels. At first brush, it would seem that, female vanity would ef fectually prevent such a traffic as this. But cupidity and indolence are stronger pas sions than vanity ; and fashion even lends its aid to this singular custom of parting with the finest ornament to the person which nature affords. In Brittany, particularly, where the finest and most silken black hair is procured, it is the universal fashion, from childhood up wards, to wear.caps so closely as complete ly to conceal the hair. The peasant girls there have particularly fine hair, and in the greatest abundance. It is so common as not to be a mark of beauty ; and the people are morally incapable of appreciating it as intrinsically beautiful and attractive. It is a truth which ought not to be told, perhaps, in the presence of all our ladies, that the charming frizettes and tresses which beau tify the heads of our blooming belles, may possibly have been shorn from Breton dam sels of very filthy and loathsome habits. The Bretons are neither Normans nor French, but more Welsh than any thing else ; and the' are wild and savage ; and as idle and dirty as human nature can well be and exist. The poorer women wear their dresses till they become dirty, patched, tat tered and ragged, so that the material of which they are made can be scarcely trac ed. The houses of the peasants are gener ally built of mud and without convenience. The chestnut, which abounds in the coun try, furnishes, to a considerable extent, the food of the poorer classes. Although in habiting a fine country, capable of render ing them prosperous and wealthy, the Bre tons grovel on in supine idleness and dirt. No wonder the women sell their hair, which is abundant and marketable. The people are accustomed to subsist upon the products of spontaneous crops. In the Pyrenees, the people are industrious and frugal, and the women are accustomed to regard a fine head of black or dark brown hair as only a luxurious burden. A LESSON FOR YOUTH. The Hon. John II. Reagan, who was re cently elected a representative to Congress from Texas, went to that State IS years ago, a poor friendless stranger, wearing buckskin breeches and a hickory shirt. He educated himself, laboring Saturdays, at night and the hours usually devoted to rest were spent in toil to pay for his school ing and the purchase of books. He split rails, drove oxen, toiled in farm fields, surveyed in a wild, unsettled country, until he became inured to hardships. Strict in tegrity and honesty marked his course and met its reward. He gradually rose from one position to another ; was admitted to the bar ; was selected from his county as the ablest man to represent it in the Leg islature ; was subsequently made judge of a superior court, to which position he was elected for a second term ; and now he has been elecled by the people of Eastern Texas representative in the Congress of the United States, and is spoken of as hav ing fair prospects before the Legislature for United States Senator. lW Ex-President Pierce, it is stated, has accepted the invitation tendered htm some time since by President Buchanan, offer ing himself and wife a passage to Madeira in the Powhatan. They will sail some time about the last of the month. LABOR. As the world grows older, the repug nanoe to labor exhibits itself in a ten -fold degree. There is something in the idea of "work" that has a nauseating effect upon the gastric functionsof the rising genera tion. A mania exist to play the "gentle man," a disposition mte rampant to live the life of a "genteel" Tone ; to consume without producing ; to exist without fur nishing the means U live upon. Labor is incompatible with respectability ; the la boring man is necessarily a pleblan; a man of low degree, a serf nr something worse. Such are the opinions prevalent among the would-be aristocracy of the present day opinions that lead to lamentable and disas trous consequences, seen in the thousands and tens of thousands of young men n our country, without the means to live up . -, ... f i i nr.. on, and destitute ot an nonoraoie caning that will furnish them the bread of life;lead ing a career of dissipation and idleness, and ending with crime or closing their course by a last step into the drunkard's grave. God has said that man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow ; how then can a fulfilment of this command bp disre putable ? Why should he who, using the gifts and endowments given him by bis Creator, whether from necessity or choice, for the benefit of himself and his fellow man, in contributing something to the world's stock ; in adding to the works of genius or art, be regarded as lacking iu respectabilit' or wanting dignity or refine ment. These ideas, indeed, are not con fined to the opulent, the influential or the aristocratical ; if so, the evils resulting from them would be of small moment. It is found among those who, destitute of the means to live at ease; too proud to "work" and too poor to live without it, are the mere apes of fashion, and the miserable imitators of "high life." The show and glitter found in the palaces of the wealthy, and the gay and dashing ap pearance of the slaves of fashion, have a peculiar influence upon the delicate organ izations of these aspiring spirits. The consequence is a stinting of the inner man, that broadcloth and silks may cover the external ; that pride and idleness are found where honest toil and creative genius should be contributing to a life of happi ness and independence. Such characters are the make shift associates of the "upper ten who regard them with contempt, and tolerate them as subjects of jest and ridi cole. There is nothing in labor to bo ashamed of. The sun burnt face, and the hard and flinty hand should ever bo the passport to respect and consideration. The drone who lives upon the labor of oth ers, is a moth for which the world has no demand. For the "bone and sinew of the land ;" the industrious artisan ; the honest and hardy creator of all that is grand and stupendous in art has claims that can never be disregarded by the truly refined and in telligent. Elizabeth City Pioneer. 1. m m 9 m ' Unruly Lawyers sent to Jail by an Indignant Court. Judge Claggett, of the first judicial district in Iowa, made a rule that lawyers who had cases in court should not leave without notice. This did not please them. And to put his honor out of countenance, they would get up, one after another, and say, with long faces and juvenile accent, '"Please, thir, may I go out?" His honor bore this as long as he could, when he had them all put in jail. The Burlington Hawkeye says that "no public edifice (not excepting the penitentiary) ever con tained so much latent rascality as the Madison jail, when filled with t e lawyers of the district." Native Cotton. The following is an extract from a letter published in the Tallahassee Floridian and Journal, aud dated the 14th of September, at Fort Myers Fhc "While1 on a scout near Oa place, on the Carloosahatchee River, a few days since, I found a large quantity of wild cotton. This cotton is growing in a low marshy ham mock near the river: when fiit diooovcrod I could hardly believe the fact, but upon examination I found it to be cotton in its crude and uncultivated state. This cotton has the appearance of Nankee cotton; but I think this is caused by the red bug, whi-. h seems to have the same effect on the boils as rust on the stem. The leaf of this cotton is very much like the Sea Island in shape, but from the feeling of the leaf and shape of the bolls one would suppose it to be upland, The cotton grows very high, and seems mostly barren, but this 1 think is owing to the thickness of the growth. This cotton is so well adapted to the climate and soil that it grows all the winter; it may seem unreasonable to you, sir, but I am confident that I saw some stalks that arc at least four or five )rears old. It is found mostly in the vicinity of the river. I went with Col. Rogers and others, who are well acquainted with the cotton plant, to look at this cotton, and they all pronounced, it cotton, growing naturally iu an uncultivated soih" fjy A Young Man engaged in teaching mutes, was explaining by signs the use and meaning of the particle "dis," and request ed one of them to write on the blackboard a sent nee showing her knowledge of the sense of the prefix. A bright little one immediately stepped forward and wrote the following: "Boys love to play, bat girls to dts-play." THE INDIANS OF ARIZONA The following is an extract from a letter received by Lieut. Mowry. from an officer of the army, stationed at Fort Yuma. Cali form i. describing the late fight between several allied tribes occupying a portion of Arizona t , "Fokt Yuma. Sept. 16, 1857. "The Yumas have been most dtfcadfully beaten by the Maricopas, Piuaogrnj others. They have lost not less thanliPo hundred of the flower of their chivalry. The opposing parties were : on one side, the Yumas, Mohaves, Yampais. and Tof.fo Apaches, and one or two Dieganos. on the other, the Maricopas, Pimos. and Pspages "The former party commenced the at tack by burning some wigwams, and kill ing women and children belonging to the Maricopas. The grand battle was fought near the Maricopa wells. About I6"0 miles dove the mouth of the Gila. There were pribably about 1.500 engaged on each sidt. The Yumas and allies were com- I pinny rouieu. " Wa have not heard full accounts, and know mthing of the losses of any tribe ex cept the Yumas. Scarce one of them Is left to tdl the story ; in fact, here they knew netting of the affair until we told them. We learned it from the Texas mail party. All the Yumas are In mourning." Another Inter says : "The Yumas and Mohaves suffirod severely. Our old friend Soli Francisct, who acted as our agent in rescuing Oli veD'Otmau from the Mohaves, a year since, wat k'lled. Out of about one hundred Yumas who went to battle, only some six or seven returned. "The Pimos have invariably beaten their enemies in battle. They are the dread of the Apaches, but generally friendly to the Mexicans and Americans. Occupying a beautiful and fertile portion of the valley of the Giia rivr. they lire in villages, culti vate large rops of wheat, corn, cotton, millet, nice ns and pumpkins. They grind their corn into flour, make bread, manu facture their cotton into blankets of a beautiful fabric. "The severe punishment they have in licted upon the wild tribes who attacked them will be regretted by no one who has traveled through Arizona, or who under stands the Indian character. "The letters from which I have made the above extracts unnounoe the discovery of silver near the Gila River copper mines, just above Fort Yuma ; and also great do posits of rich copper mines on thb Colora do, forty wiles above the mouth of the Gila. There is no end to the mineral wealth of the new Territory." LORD BROUGHAM. Lord Broughan roceutly addressed the Mechanic's Institute, of London. What he said of himself, says the London Times, is perfectly true. "I am myself," taid he, " and have been all my life, a working man." No man, therefore, has a better right than ho to address working men. There is perhaps no man living of whom more feats of labor and triumphs over the frail phisique of humanity are recorded than of Lord Brougham. Legends of this sort have gathered round him like a Her cules. There is a legend that he once worked six continuous days t. e., 114 hours without sleep. "But," somebody will ask, "has that pale, lean man, with a face like parchment and nothing on his bones, a constitution ?" Yes he has he has a working constitution, and a ten times bet ter one than you, my friend, with your ruddy face, and strong, muscular frame. You look, indeed, the very picture of health; but you have, in reality, only a sporting constitution, not a working one. You do very well for the open air, and get on very well with fino healthy exercise, and no strain on the bruin. But try close air for a week try confinement, with heaps of con fused papers arid books of reference, blue books, law-books, or despatches to get through, and therefrom extract liquid and transparent results, and you will find your self knocked up and fainting, when the pale lean man is it net "as fresh as a daisy," which he never is, being of the perpetually cadaverous type at least as unaffected as a bit of leather, and nut showing the least sign of giving way. There are two sorts of good constitutions good idle Constitu tions, and working ones. When nature makes a great man, she presents hint with the latter gift. Not that we wish to deprive our great men of their merit. A man mast make one or two experiments before he finds out his constitution. A man of spirit and mettle makes the experiment, tries himself, and runs the risk as a soldier does on the field. The battle of life and death is often fought as really in chambers or in an office as it is on the field. A soul is re quired to make use of the body, but groat man must have a body as well as a kouI to work with. Charles Butler, Sir William Molesworth, and others, are instances of men whose bodies refused to support the souls, and were, therefore, obliged to give up the prize wben.they had just reached it. Aud how many hundreds and thousands if one did but know them perish iu an earlier stage, before they have made any way at all, simply because, though they had splendid minds, they had very poor bodies. Let our lean, cadaverous friend, then, when the laurel surmounts his knotty parchment face, thank Heaven for his body which is almost as great a treasure as his soul. Nature may not have made him a handsome man, but what dues that signify? She has made him a strong one.
