in their intercourse wu very apparent, and J

CURRENT TOPICS.
A PAPER HEAD before tho Roy ul Society,
London, by Mr. EB ASMUS WILSON, has thrown
new light on the question as to what causes
the sudden whitening of the hair, often pro?
duced by fright or profound grief. Ile cites a
case in which the hair was colored white and
brown alternately from end to end. The white
segments were about one-half the length of the
brown, and the two together measured about
one-third of a linc. Under the microscope the
colors were reversed, and it was obvious that
the opacity of the white portion was due to a
vast accumulation of sir globules packed
closely together in the fibrous structure of the
hair, as well as in the medulla. There was no
absence of pigment but the accumulation of air
globules veiled and obscured the normal color
and structure. Mr. WILSON suggested the pos?
sibility of the brown portion being the day
growth and the white portion the night growth
He also said, in reference to the sudden
blanching of the whole hair, of which there
were many cases on record, that during the
prevalence of a violent nervous shock, the nor?
mal fluids of the hair might be drawn inward
toward the body, in unison with the generally
contracted and collapsed state of the surface,
and that the vacuities left by this process of |
exhaustion might be suddenly filled with
atmospheric air. An interesting discussion
followed the reading of the paper. Dr. SHAH
KEY alluded to a recent case of sudden blanch?
ing of the hair reported by Dr. LANUOIS, of |
Qriefswald, in Virchow'* Archiv, which was as?
certained to be the result of an accumulation
of air globules in the fibrous substance of the
j hair.
THE PROPRIETOR of the Philadelphia Ledger
observed independence day by inviting 300 em?
ployees ofthat establishment lo join in a ban?
quet. The following is from the published
acoonnt of the proceedings : The hour fixed for
the dinner was half-past one. As the signal
was given the long lines of the employees and
their guests commenced filing along the pave?
ment of Sixth street and Chesnut street, and
down the stairways into the dining-room.
I There were one hundred and thirty-five carriers
and assistants, sixty compositors and "subs,"
with their foremen, proof-readers and copy?
holders ; twenty pressmen and feeders, with
their superintendent of machinery; twenty-two
folders and counters, with the night clerk,
ten office clerks, with the cashier ; sixteen gen?
eral employees, including engineers, machinist,
carpenter, watchmen, paper-wetters and turn?
ers, office-boys, &c. ; four stereotypers ; thirty
job office hands, with their superintendent and
foreman, and twelve editors and reporters.
These number threo hundred and nine who were
present, and with about one hundred and
twenty invited guests, making four hundred and
twenty-nine who participated in the dinner and
celebration ic the press-room. This is inde?
pendent of the newsboys, who filed down the
southern stairway into the gallery set apart for
them, two and two. Then came the dinner,
with fountains of cool and refreshing, but not
intoxicating, drinks, and instrumental and
vocal music, and speech-making, and jovial
conversation and general hilarity.
THE MONTANA POST thus pictures a Sunday
in the mines : Sunday, however, was beautiful.
The Catholic, Episcopal and Methodist churches
were largely attended, and the songs of praise
were mingled with the voice of the horse auc?
tioneer as he dashed up and down the crowded
street on the "best bargain ever offered on the
gulch." It made rather an amusing dialogue
at times to listen to the minister and the auc?
tioneer. Perhaps they did not notice it, but
others did; for instance, imagine the following:
"Whatshall I do to be saved?" "Boy a first
rate saddle horse;" "What shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?" "Only $37;" or, revers?
ing the order, "How mach do I hear for this
horse?" "Seven baskets of fragments;" "Who
wants to boy him at $40?" "Dives in the tor?
ments of hell." Daring the afternoon a bit of |
a fight oooorred in the street, bj way of varie?
ty, in which one of the parties, in addition to
getitng his face badly damaged, was put in the
calaboose to repent of his sins at leisure, which
it is presumed he did, as he got down on his
knees several times before reaching it. And
sb it is with us of a Sabbath day. Tho devotee
and the drunkard side by side; religion and
business; pleasure and profit; profanity and
praise; virtue and vice-intermingle and jostle
each other as we all glide along the swift cur?
rent of life; strewn with wrecks and filled with
breakers.
Tn roLLowiNo paragraph we find in the
Mew York Journal of Commercr. "The horrible
account of the butchery of an entire family in
Wake County, N. C., just received, reminds as
that atrocities of this description, perpetrated
by negroes, are coming from the Southern
States with alarming frequency. We can re?
member nothing like it in former years. In
every instance, so tar as we have observed, the
erime is instigated by a desire for plunder or
the gratification of beastly passions. Nowhere
do these outrages partake of a political char?
acter. They do not proceed from a Bpirit of ?
retaliation or revenge, and can only be attrib?
uted to a growing demoralisation among the
negro population, consisting in a large degree
of those who lately were slaves, but now are
released from almost every form of restraint.
Not only this, but the negroes are often the
dupes of mischief-makers, itinerant lecturers,
and political orators, who fill their weak minds
with crude notions concerning their personal
rights, the laws of property, &c. The signs
of increasing social disorganisation manifested
in the prevalence of the worst forms of j
atrocity-lust, murder and rapine-cannot be
regarded with entire composure. The final
destiny of the black race uow in America pre?
sents a problem, of whioh, at this early day,
no definite solution is offered.
THE FOLLOWING riauBBS are from the last
Prussian census, taken in 1864: There were,
at that time, in round numbers, 19,250,000 in?
habitants, or 763,000 more than in 18(11. Of
these 11,700,000 were Protestants (being 438,
000 more than in 1861), and 7,200,000 Catho?
lics (being an increase of 294,000); in other
words, the increase among Protestants was 3.38
per cent., and among Catholics 4.45 per cent.
In the year 1864 there were 479,000 births
among the Protestants, while there were 302,
500 among Catholics, in spito of there being
6706 priests devoted to celibacy, and 6259 re?
ligious of both sexes. Further, out of the
479,000 births among Protestants, 47,960 were
illegitimate, while bf the 302,500 births among
Catholics, only 16,500 were illegitimate. This
great difference is maintained thus through the
different provinces. Thus the proportion of j
illegitimate births in Brandenburg was 12.05
per cent, among Protestants and 8.40 among
Catholics; Schleswig, 10.35 against 10.07; Po?
merania, 10.35 against 9.31; Saxony, 10.35
against 6.05; Prussia, 9.67 against 7.45, and so
on. The next census will probably give 25,
900,000, even if there is no further annexation
beyond what the Schleswig Holstein war, and
the war with Austria and her allies last year
brought her.
Mas. FERRY, in her book on Naples andi
Sicily, under King BOMBA, tells the following
amusing story of the verdict of an inspector on
a set of Waverly Novels: "They were consign?
ed to a gentleman who was an admirer of Eng?
lish literature, and when the name of the book
and the author were read out for the informa?
tion of the inspector, who sat at a high desk,
and did not look at the volumes himself, he im?
mediately declared that the work was prohibi?
ted. The clerk, who read the name WALTEB
SCOTT, pronounced it, as any Italian would do,
VOLTAIB SCOTT. ?This, sir, is VOLTAIBE Scott:
.Well, sir, and what then?' VOLTAIRE'S works
are prohibited, and I do not see what differ?

G PN. SICKLE* LETTER.
We have not deemed it wise or becom?
ing to discuss the probable action of
Congress. With the issue which has
brought the National Legislature together
at so ?inopportune a time, under such in?
auspicious circumstances, the people of the
South have had nothing to do. Fairly
and faithfully have we done, or rather were
we doing the duty imposed upon us and
if like the victim of old we were to roll the
stone up the hill only to see it tauntingly
thrown back, all that was left us was to
bear patiently the exercise of this tormen?
ting tyranny. But not only has the ac?
tion of Congress so far indicated on the
part of the North, a just recognition of our
position, but there are evidences that there
are those in power who comprehend the
opportunity for statesmanship which the
present crisis affords.
Our readers can scarcely fail to uudcr
Btand that we refer specially to the letter J
from Gen. SICKLES to Senator TRUMBULL,
which we published yesterday. What we
could not say, he has said, and his words j
are weighty with the experience of one J
who has perhaps more successfully than
any of his colleagues carried out the pro
visions of the Reconstruction Act. His
fidelity to the Republican party not the
most extreme radical can doubt, and the j
condition of thc Military District which he
commun ds is the best proof of the practical j
wisdom of the administration.
His letter may be considered in two
pom ts of view ; first, as the testimony of
the most competent of witnesses of the
condition of the State under his command, I ;
and, second, os the suggestion of the high
est practical authority as to the best mode
of reconstruction.
Considered as testimony, we can refer to
it as conclusive proof that our people have
done their duty- that they have met fairly
the responsibilities which the Act imposes, ?
and that the work of reconstruction would
be more thorough and more prompt, the
more we were trusted with our own govern- J
ment
As a suggestion, it can scarcely be over-1
valued. For two years General SICKLES
has been in command in the Carolinas; he
has had ample opportunity to observe; has
been brought into immediate contact with
all classes and all interests, and has proved,
by results, that the spirit of the people
and the requirements of the law, are not
incompatible. I j
With this knowledge-with a deeper in- j
te rest than any other living man in the sue-1 j
oessful administration of the Act-ne ad-1
vises that the universal suffrage which has
been enforced, should be accompanied by
an universal amnesty; that if reconstruc-1
tion is to be effected, that the best elements
of society are the material with which it I
should be effected, and that no such sham j
reconstruction should bc effected as would
result from the exclusion of the wealth, the ?
character, and the intelligence of the State. J
It is dear that that is not reconstruc-1
tion which places class in antagonism to
class-which excludes from the public ser- j
vice those who are fitted by education and
experience to direct public affairs wisely,and
that to disfranchise all who naturally
control is simply to put an inexperi?
enced, uneducated majority at the mercy
of that reaction which the minority, pos?
sessed of all the real strength of society,
will, sooner or later effect.
General SICKLES recognizes further that
among the wisest and best men of the ;
South are those whom thc late experiment
of secession has completely satisfied-who
consider that a great revolution has opened
the field of new ideas and new habits, but I
who will not interfere actively in public :
so long as that action is supposed to be die- ;
tated simply by the selfish desire to restore
their own fortuues. . ?
Such men he sees are the most efficient I,
instruments in the reconstruction which the
country desires, and are the surest media?
tors between the old and the new. Ile J
sees what is thc fact, that in the late war j
the great mass of the people were one, and j
that any disfranchisement which is cousis
tent must include nearly the whole of the j
intelligence and character of thc South, j
and that no reconstruction could be sound
based upon such an exclusion. He says I
distinctly what is equally true, that such a
disfranchisement would place the South un- j
der the control of those who are not fitted
to direct it truly, and that the true interest
ot' the whole country requires that when J
these States are restored, they should be ?
restored in the fulness of such wealth, in-1 j
telligence and character as they possess- I j
that if they arc to be thc equals of the j,
North ii^the Senate, the better fitted they J
are for that equality, the better for the j
country. ?
Whether opinions so sound, and coming
even from so high an authority, will bc re- i
spected, we cannot say, but whether treat- j !
ed with the consideration they deserve or j i
not, we acknowledge our obligation to Gen. J
SICKLES for placing upon record in this let?
ter a vindication of the character and posi?
tion of the Stales he commands, which his- j
tory will not reglcct. j
