WOOLEY, . ..H-TOb'aKD PROPBIKTOH.- v Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, .has introduced a jeint resolution in j.' the j United Stated. Senate proposing (to amead-the Constitution of the Uni ted States by changing the mode of electing the President and i !Vice-Pres-; jdenjt'of the United States! The bil . pispeases with the electoral e.ollcge, '.and, provides for. the e'ection - by the .people, by scciet ballot by direct jvote, in districts, each State to have raa; many districts: a it! has Senators : andiRepresentatives in Co1 gress,iand . each district to have one voteF to be cantassed by the Governor, Chief Justice and Secretary of State, their returns to be made .to, the; Speaker of i thejllouse,, and to be conclusive proof of the resu'.ts, the votes to be count ed ty Congress in s joint' convention, andi a plurality, vote to Vect. j'The 1U1 was temporarily laid on the table, Mrl Wallace stating that he ' would ask to subm t rcrna ks up-jn it to-morrow. . j ."

"sustain it by an overwhelming : majority.! i A vast . number ofthe voters in these United ' States,; though quite well informed upon; 'Other questions: pertaining to elections, do not understand the elec toral system. But this resolution of 'Senator Walace. if adopted and rati ; "fied, wonld not accomplish .what the people desire, for it does not propose anjr substantial change1 of the .present system.

DOUDLE POSTAL CARDS A law was passed by Congress a year or two ago authorizing the use of double post -cards that is, a card to be sold for two cents which should pass free through the mails both from and back to the'-person rending it. The object was io enable persons de- - siring to do so to pay the postage on postal cards both ways. !Thesc cards have, never appeaeed, and th Rich mond Dispatch has discovered why. It says the reason came out in ; a de bate in the United States Senate last Thursday, that although; the law authorized the use of do'ub'e postal- cards, provided there should be no royalty claimed by any --person,-yet the Postmaster-General has been in J.' r- will bo devoted to and THE CENTURY the intellectual, moral,, material political interests, generally, of THE AVIIOtE STATE, and, particularly, 6f that portion of the State and region in which it is published. : xne tairor intenas to make THE h"ib;t:d by that provision from using I CENTURY a necessity in every fam double postal-cards because ; there are ily in this none except what are patented; and therefore none upon which there is no rovaltv.' . . ' . i A foreign paper says a great change .has taken place of late years with regard to the estimation in which baldness is held. . Fifty years ago it was viewed as a seriates ; infliction inisioriirne to pe concealed by a wig or velvet skull ncf doubt, the wig was intended 'to deceive, aad to give a juvenile appear ance to the wearer.. In the majority on cases, nowever, the qovenng was 'so1 plainly artificial that it was" clearly adopted not from a motive of vanity, ; but simply to hide an iunpleasant ob ject from the eyes of the world. Of 'late years, however, it would apprar, i frtom the habit Of wearin 2 beards hav- irigcome into fashion, baldness is far more common than it used to be. It may be that nature furnis' es to each ..human being a sufficiency of what . 'may be called hair ointment to sup 1 port an average quantity of hair, and when men, allow their beard to j grow they do so to the detriment of , the natural covering of the scalp. Certain .it is that a large proportion of men with Deards. begm to crow bald-, at . an .abnormally early. age.. Hitherto they, ,wnen questioned, been willing , to ai? low they regarded the lack of hair as a draw oac K to their personal appeT- ance. They. will now' be inclined -to take higher ground, for j high -authorities declare that there is nothing ridic i uIqijs or malformed about it, and it confers upon ; the physiognomy an , expression of wisdom; experience, and veneration. ; It adapts itself -marvel- ou,3ly to certain heads j which would be deformed by a-, wig, and is the severe beauty represnted in sculpture. by the classic head; of iEschuylus. This is consolation, indeed. Hence t- forth let man bow before the . severely i oeautuui ; let there be an end of the use of unguents and oils j, and. let de pilatories takei their; place upon the toilet tables. Let the thoughtless and i giddy keep the hair on their heads, but let all who value the possession of the severe beaty ofl JEschuylus get ' get their heads as bald as a billiard ball without an instant's delay.
