The female headache are innumcra- ' hie, but they arise principally from vexation and disappointment. They may be divided into nervous^awd sick headache. The nervous is irritable , and cannot bear being spoken to. The sick is despondent or sulkey, and bursts into tears at the least contradiction. When a lady cannot have her own way, a headache is the painful consequence. An unpopular visiter brought homo accidentally to dinner , will produce an alarming attack of headache, ami the symptoms that successively follow are, instant loss of appetite, deafness, peevishness, hysteria, and finally a precipitate retreat to the bed-room. The poor servants feel the etfects of the headache as much as any one, and do not stop in the room longer than they can help. These unfortunate headaches are very frequent abont that time of the year whefl every one is, or is supposed to be, out of town and do not cease until the patient has been carried to the sea side for a change of air. The milder forms will vanish upon the application of a piece of jcwcrly ; or if the forehead is wrapped up in a new shawl, it is astonishing with what rapidity the pain disappears. Sometimes a shifting of the scene is requisite, and thus a box in the Opera has been known to produce an instantaneous cure, even when the headache in question has been of the most stunning description, and the opera played has been one of Verdi." Louis Piiillippk's Daugutebs.? Considerable sensation has been pro duced by the announcement that the Emperor Napoleon has relaxed his policy iu regard to the daughters of his predecessor, King Louis Phillippe, so tar as to direct that a project of law shall ho laid before the Legislature, whereby a sum of 200,000 francs shall be paid anually to each of the ooirl ? ?IM il'dMI'l'lvillUP. tn fll<>!p r* "'vvvvw, - * pji .

This act of liberality, and indeed of justice, will affect the foil, ving illustrious personages? firstly, the Duke of Brabant, Count of Flanders, and princess Charlotte of Belgium, in virtue of their late mother, Queen Louise; secondly, Princes PhiUlip and Ernest of VVurtembnrg, in rignt of their deceased mother, Princeso Marie; and thirdly, the Princess (Clementine) Augustus of SaxeCobnrg, who has issue two sons and two dimglHcre. Thus, the whole sum to be paid annually to the three parties entitled thereto will be ?24,000, or, if capitalized, to as much as will produce that amount. This act of justice to the illustrious ladies concerned, is said to be due to the Emperor's own desire, prompted by an earnest desire on his part to exhibit his personal good will to the Courts of Belgium, Wurternberg and Saxe Cobug?and to Queen Victoria, who has interested herself in the matter with warmth, but with tact and /I laOHnt i /*?r> UiOVI C/VIUL1* Fob White Hands.?In order to preserve the hands soft and white, they should always be washed in warm water, with fine soap, and carefnlly dried with a moderately coarse towel, being well rubbed every time to insure a brisk circulation, than which nothing can bo more effectual in promoting a tra sparent and soft surface. If engaged in any accidental pursuit which may hurt the color of the hands, or if tacy have been exposed to the snn, a little lfeinon juice will restore their whiteness for the time; and lemon ?oap is proper to wash thcin with. fat, I ___ . m Suupkjse Pa*tobb.?Of Into very novel end questionable sort of amusement has become fashionable. Several friends and acquaintances inform each other that they intend to drop in Mid take tea with Air. and Mrs.-B . Che family are surprised and astonishxl to find fifteen or twenty friends and icauaintances in the house who have jailed to take tea. The tea chest is ust exhausted?not a bit of cake in .he pantry?not a loaf of bread in the grocery, and not euongh cups and sanjcrs and teaspoons to go around.? What a peck of trouble the poor woman is in. She'd give her wedding gown if she had only known of their coming. There is a mighty deal of fnn in these surprise parties, and a nf nnnnvancA and liorrl It I v/C*w uuai v* ^ w* mg. The day before yesterday a very unpleasant incident occured at one ot these parties. A merchant who has heretofore held a respectable position in society was selected by somo friends to call on. It was a surprise party indeed to all concerned. They found the husband insensible from the effects of liquor, laying on the hall stairs, and his wife with a bruised face and a black eye, bathing his temples with ice water. How many such scenes occur unknown to the world. [Albany Knickerbocker. The American Bonapartes.?A suit has lately taken place between the Prince Jerome Bonaparte and his son, is^ne of his marriage with Miss Patterson, of Baltimore. The object of this suit was to settle the position and the name which the Baltimore branch, father and son, were to bear in France. The title of Prince of Monfort, which was formerly applied to the Baltimore Bonaparte by the Bonaparte family in Europe, has been refused by both the son and grandson, then and now. The suit in the present instance was to compel the son and grandson to renounce the name of Bonaparte (in France) and carry that of Patterson instead. This the sons refused to do, and so the father commenced 6uit. The Court has decided in favor of tho Americans, who will continue to l>ear in France, us they did at home, the name of Bonaparte. The debates on this singular trial have been tho cause of much talk, 1 in which the old ex king is criticised in i i.L.1. u *. i;i i i. i a manner inai wwuiu nov ue liKeiy to | flatter his vanity. Boat Capsized. On Tuesday afternoon as a young man was attempting to cross over to Sullivan's Island, alone, in asinall sail boat, he was struck by a squall, near Fort Sumter, and the boat capsized.? The gentleman however succeeded in clinging to the bottom of the boat, until assistance was sent from a vessel at Quarantine, and lie was taken off in quite an exhausted condition. It is said that the peril and mental nnxiotv of the gentleman wa9 so great, amid the plunging of the waves and the snapping of the sharks, that his hair, whicn an hour before was a beautiful auburn, turned almost white, and lie is now as grey as a badger, not from age, but frignt. A man must have strange feelings, when looking into the yawning deep with nother under him, or down the capacious throat of a hungry shark. From both of which, including the gray hair, may we be kindly and mercifully preserved. [Charleston Evening News. MURDKR WILL OUT.

Not many years ago, an Irislnun whose finances did not keep pace wi the demands uiade on his pockets, ai whose scorn of honest labor was ii niinently unfavorable to their beii filled legitimately, borrowed an c pistol one day when poverty had dri eu him to extremity, and took t highway most convenient where was likely to find a heavy purse. A jolly old farmer came jogging long, ana no put Jnra down instant ;ii a party who possessed tliose i quisites he so much stood in need himself. Presenting his pistol, i commanded the farmer to "stand ai deliver.*' The poor follow forked over fifty d lars, but finding Pat somewhat of greenhorn, begged a five to take h home, a distance of about a half a mi The request was c<>mp'icd with, i coinpaiued with the most pa?ronizi air. Old Acres and Roods wasam< knowing one. Eyeing the pistol, asked I at if he would sell it. "Is it to sell the pist?l ? Sowl, a it's that samo thing that I'il beaftl doing. What would you he aft!

Pat looked at liim a moment witl comical leer, and buttoning breeches pockets, sung out? "Plow away, ould boy ; devil ta the bit of powder that's in it." We believe the old man never t< the story but once, nnd that was by 1 purest accident. A California paper tells the folic ing of Lieutenant Derby, "John PL nix," the humorist: "One evening at -the theatre, PI: nix observed a man sitting three se in front whom he thought he knew ; requested the person sitting next him, to punch the other individual w Ilia cane.'
