For a number ol years this mania lor high foreheads raged in spile of the patent bu t that they detracted Irom their feminine loveliness, giving it a hard, bold masculine expressiou that should be sedu lously avoided. All the classic models of Inaiiiy, whether in marble or in flesh, from tlie Venus and Pliryne down to the Mary's of ltaphnel 'and Magdaleu of Murrillo, the picturesque damsels of the Campagjia and the classic SulioUi maidens, instead of high, have quite low forbeads something our own women seem at last lo have discovered. Horace and Catullus and Ovid all sang of the fair, fond creatures whose while lore heads gleamed like the creseut moon be neath the dark cloud of silken hair. Artists have so painted feminine beauty. Men of taste and gallantry have admired such. Phrenology has ceased to lie connected with aesthetic subject; and then-tore we have re turned to nature sa l art Indeed the passion now is rather lor ex ceedingly low foreheads, for hair over ihe temples, and love-heks that shade the lus ter of deep eye. Thi is rather overdone ; but still it is preternble tn lofty foreheads and stripped brow that make the fauemore fitting lor a Koiuan senator than a gentle tender, wemanly woman. Every man of taste k .

Hi policy start out on yon abruptly, at some unbending turning, pistol tn nana, uf far." There is in bis table, iu his study, a drawer, frequently half open, "lie takes thence -a paper, read itto a minister. It is a decree, The minister assents or dissent. If he dis sents, Louis Napoleon throws the paper bsek into the drawer, where there are many other pap. r, bundle of papers the dream of an all potent man shuts the drawer, taki out the key, and leave the room without saying a word. The minister bows and re tires delighted with the deference which has been paid to hi opinion. Next morning the decree is in the Jfoaitear." Governor Orr, in his message delivered to the State legislature on the 27th Novemla-r last, said : "History furnishes few examples of a p.-o pie who have lieen required to concede more to the will of their conqueror than the h-.-ple of the South. Every concession we have made, however, so far from touching the magnanimity or generosirj ot the vicuna, ha sharpened their malice, and inl.-nairtoi their revenge." CoNSoLIHO HlMSKIJ!.

Hon. Edmund Cooper, tbeu acting Private Secretary of the President, was subsequent ly called nn. I ex amined with reference to the mailer sworn to by Evans and Chatfie. He produced ae original letter written by those gentle men to the President, daied prior to the time of the alleged overtures, promising that if he would sign the bill in question they would sustain his policy. As the I'resl dent has twice vetoed the bill the evidence of Mr. Cooper is unquestionable, and proves that instead of the Executive having made overtures to these Colorado Senators, they actually made a most culpable proposition to him which he, of course, disregarded. The correspondent of the New York Titaet confirms the story, and adds: 1 also learn that the character ol the testi mony thus far taken by the committee is of the most irrelevant and flimsy nature, and scarcely rising to the dignity of hearsay evi dence in any case in lact, such testimony aa would be rejected by a cross-roads magis trate's court in a preliminary examination.
