DECATUR, INTD., FRIDAY, JAN, 1, 1869.

PfertHiunj. BLOVDES. They are to be Abolished. ! -- D. 11. Haynes, in ‘ Exit Blonde,” ' discourses to the following , effect : The fair haired woman is lively, joyous, quick-witted, versatile, el oquent—not in the language of the lips, merely, but in expression and action—kind, sympathetic and • warm-hearted. Her impulses are , | sudden, as well as strong. She i i often falls in Invent first sight — i She is not bold and. indelicate in the avowel of he affection, but at the prope moment says “yes’’ frankly, and means it—but she may change her mind—in other words there is, as a rule, a slight tendency to fickleness in the blonde. There is too little iron in l;er blood. But when the darkhaired and dark eyed woman loves —well, she loves, and with her “Love is love forevermore." Men admire the bioride, court her society, bask with delight in r her smiles, drink in with eagerness the music of her Y : ?'CO, :ire facinated by her beauty and her wit, but they more frequently seek in marriage the less brilliant brunette. It has already been stated that the increase of dark hair is great l er in the city than in the country. The increase of cit : ei a nnng us must, therefor.’, give a still further impulse to tlie mei’rrwo.v/.? n >w go ingon. The fair ha>red type requires for its full development the fresh pure air of the fields and forest. The atmosphere and mo les of life ilisepemLle from io vns are unfavorable to the san'jninous ele . ment of the constitution. The bilious temperament thrives — its ore iron finds its way into t’te [ blood and hair, and loss sulphur; I though just whv or how this takes I place it may uot Ie so easy to determine. The result of the plivsiolopical change now goinw on boro, unless checked by the intervention of new and unforeseen ennses, will be the ■ establishment on this continent of a homogeneous and peculiar people. Phvsie.allv. the coming man of this Now World will be chari acterized by a well developed ossous system : dense, firm muscles : rather high cheek bones; proinin- : ent, but handsome features ; dark, strong, and abundant hair; and a • lark complexion—a conformation indicative of great strength, of constitution, endurance and capacity for work. Mentally, he will, be observing, clear headed, energetic, persevering, steadfast.; quick to decide.and ready to act; self-1 reliant, polite, courteous, refined in manners, if nnt always delicate in perception; ambitious; fond of power; addicted to c inquest; oft en irritable, headstrong, and dom incering*; jealous of his honor; not par icnlarlv averse to strife: firm in friendship; faihtful to his trust; constant in love; and ter rible in his enmity. In verbal ex pression he will be direc 1 and em phatie, and his eloquence will be that of earnestness and conviction ; and in action, his blood will be both rapid and heavy. The future American woman will be a dark haired, dark-eyed, littlelimbed. agile, elegant, and com nianding brunette; only moder ately plump in person, and finely proportioned and vigerous. The face will incline to th" oval form, with features finely ent and somewhat more prominent than are s«en in the European races from ' ■ vrp are maialv decended : j hut neither angular nor coarse, and full of expression. In her mental character, she will be imaginative impassioned, earnest. serious. trntbfiil..sinccro. proud, and hi»h : spirited Arlen’and devotd in- ■ love, mnchnnc’ng In al! Imr nttncli I I mens«. and w'th clear perceptions I ofdntv, she will be a help mate I worthv of the nam" —one to be loved, honored, and tr.ts’e I everywhere and sbravs Happy th"i man of the future who shall call! her wife! I The Norfolk, Virginia .Tn'srnnl I in noting the sale of. coolies at Galvestion, to pay their passage.' exclaims, “wo thus see that an 1 st’emnt has been already made to intrnduc? the slave tra le under an -' othername and we trustthat the] infernal traffic will fle'”irtnp|«ed. whatever name it may asanme I We want no more slaves among! us, whether sold for ten rears or for life. We have aafltercd enough ! from the presence among us of an inferior raee. whose shiftless labor—if Tabor Tt eontdbe catted—has imnoverishel Virginia, and whoso presence is now the canse of alb our politcal troubles.” There. isn’t much pro slavery about this. |

[From “Brick" Pomeroy's Democrat.] “Way down South in Dixie.” Yesterday. Mr. Pomeroy left the city to fill engagements on .the stump in the interior, and has played us a nice trick. Finding, a returned soldier on the street, with an old hand-organ on which *he pays ten dollars a year license, which goes to the support of the • bondholders, he hired him to come to the office,of the “Democrat,” and from one till four every afternoon. play “Dixie.” And here he is, under our window. We like it, but the editors of the “Sun” are outraged ! One of them says it is a d—d nuisance Another says it is a damnable!— And there he sits and grinds, “Oh, I wish I was in Dixie. 'Way down South in Dixie!” hour after hour. The man won’t move,' for he says Pomeroy hired him by the week. The “Sun” folks don't like it. Passers-by wonder why he don't change his tune. One man, from Goshen, Orange county, stoo 1 there an hour today, waiting to hear the next tune. Bat no other comes out of the, horrid instrument. And there he ons. si'iilding, _ “’Way down South in loJiie, Oh ! I wish I was in Dixie.” Yesterday, Pomery had a row about the matter. A Radical, whose office iscHse by. came down and ordered t'ac soldier to more 07. C’-n’t do it,”, replied the cripple | ‘ ‘Vv hv ? ’ j “ Ciuse Ini hired to stay here, on these steps, under this wia-.low aid plav this'ere tune!” “Well, I'll s»e.” and upstairs | came the excited Radical. lie raved and swore, threa’ened arrest, and all sorts of trouble. “Cin't help it.” said Pomeroy, “that man was a s ddier- he fought —he saved his country—he pays ten dollars a year tn grind his machine—l have hired him for the season, and I shall have him plav that tune day after day, to remind" the workingmen that—“'Way down South in Dixie" ’ are a lot of niggers, scallawags and carpet baggers they must support. And. said lie, "if you touch that soldier. I'll mash y;jur local head. I rent these premises; I pay fur the music, and I'll have it just as I want it!” And the man is still grinding away, “’Way down South iff Dixie, 0'1! I wish T was in Di.\ie.” How long he is to grind at that mill, God and Pomeroy only know. But it's a funny “idea, com polling us to sit here hour after hour to listen to that soldier grind* 1 ing out of his ten dollaj,.ljeeESe organ, “'Wav down South in Dixie, Oh ! I wish I was in Dixie.” Wo tried to coax him to change his tune, but he won’t. He says that Pomeroy hired him to grind i‘ till his return If he will hasten back, we’ll pay the bill and call it quits. Grapcsliot. “Grapeshot is no more.” This affecting nbitnary notice is copied from an English journal. It chronicles the death of an engine of death almost as old as artillery. Its first form was undonbted’v a col-| lection of small stones, nails, bro-' ken iron.etc. To these afterward succeeded bags of small bullets, and these improved by an iron plate and spindle gave their form aid name tn the more modern i grapeshot. Os late ve*»rs the En- , I glisli armv use 1 the Ciffin's grape, j i It consisted off ».ir tiers of circu i lar iron plates ...inclosing between them iron balls, and connected bv an iron spindle* passing through the centres of the plates.

A Specimen of Red Tape. I — An English paper says a soldier has replied to the qnesiton, ; “Can any single officer, jfQn-com missionecTofficer, or any man in ■ theßritish service, tell us how, if Private Brown runs out of cartridges in action, he can get any ■ more ?” He says : “Nothing is so simple, and I can not only explain to the i process, but also give you a case in point. I happened to form one !of the storming party to the capI ture of the Quarries (an advanced work of the Russians in fiont of the Redan,)on June 7, 1855. Ou this occasion there was a slight ! mistake in the order given to our j “supports,” who, instead of ‘supj porting’ us as soon as we -took the work, at 5 :30 in the evening, only arrived to “relieve’ us at 6 :30 t'ie next morning. Owin* to. this ’ i little error, and to what I may , call other natural causes, Private ] Brown, of my company as well as : most of his comrades, ran out of, I ammunition. I thereupon sent a i sergeant and two men to the rear I i with orders to get a supply as quick 'as nossihp. They ret ime 1 with a I polite message from the officer in . nf the riiagnzine to the es L'trvi .•« feet that I should have what I re- ; qnire.d if I would send the proper (requisition in writing. In the im"'inwbil" we had been driven out of the Quarries, and were holding ' on bv the reverse oft'ie.work. an 1 in9i wh"n mv messengers retnrn a d jw" had to ri‘"hntni'e the work nt ' pnfnt of th." nnvoh"t; b«jt I hav" no reason t > suppose that the oTlcer would not have fulfill:'.-! his i nrnmise had T seat him the nrooer ! doen’Tient. which von ’'•ill observe I v.-asnnh’ nr"ve’it"d from doing. baean«" I happened to be otherwise 1 nc"’’n : e'l “Yon will «"D from thi«.«' r . that nothin"' i® sl’nnlor than th" pro-o-'sq of o'lnnlving ammunition to' TV-itish troops in action. Th" nnlv noint I am not q-fte cMr about is th*e prnnorbreadth of mar 1 gin of the pan"r on which the nc- ■ r"qn'sit’on should b" writI t«n. but I have reason to believe i that ‘half margin foolscap’ is the nroncr form of the doeum"nt. and I will state tnv reason for thinking so. After the fall of S» •ha<tonol I was one dav on guard in the Redan. an 1 shortly before I was rej lioved I discovered that one of the unoxnlnT"d Russian magazines w.as on fire. T pinned mv guard and sentries in safety, warned the officer who relieved me, and as soon as I returned to camp wrote a hurried rennrt of the circumstance. which was returned to me because-it w.as written upon ‘qip’rt"rmargin’ folscan h',stead of‘half mar-rin.’ lam therefore of the I oninion that the proper form of a I requisition for ammunition f»r British troops in notion is half i margin foolscan,’ I have omitted .to state that on the occasion re sere Ito Private Brown was fortnnntc’v killed while i for the third or fourth time. I for- ! get which, in retaking the work at 1 the point of the bayonet. As he I w.as dying he requested me ( ver ■ ballv. not in writing) to send his pr.averbnok to his' mother at home which I did. - Olden Conxrcaiional Fun, Mansfield T. Walworth, in his ! political researches, brings to light the following piece of Congressional fun. When the question of, the emblems and devices for our national arms was before the old : j Congress, a member from the] , South warmly opposed the eagle ias a monarchical bird. The king: of birds could uot be a suitable : representative of a country whose institutions were founded in hos-1 < iility to kings. Judge Thatcher.! : in re“lv, proposed thewoose which J ‘ heaauT was a most and r?- ■ publican birl. and would in other i pr »ve a Ivmtage inns 1 much as the goslings wo-il l be ■ convenient to put on the tea cent prices. The laughter which foil >w- • ed was more than the Southerner could bear Construing his goo 1 humored irony into an insult, hc ( sentachallege. Thatcher return^: ed it to the bearer, observing tint ;he would nnt. accept it. “What!, will you be branded as a coward .* •‘Yes. sir. if he please*. I always! was a eowanl, and he knew it, or he never would have sent a dial- i Icuge to me.” The j »ke was too ' good to be resisted, even by the angry party. It occasioned in finite mirth in Congressional circles, and the former cordial intercourse between the parties was ] . restored. - The chartered comoanv to build a tunnel uuder the East river at < New York to Brooktiri; is jnaking' preparations to go to work and construct the much needed im { ’ provement.

A Cure for the Grecian BendThe Ilamiltion (Canada) Spectator tells the following story, which should be a warning to the smugglers, and Grecian benders particularly : The Grecian bend was put to a novel use on the Buffalo an I Lake LHuron Railway a few days since, j i In one of the first class cars sat a handsome young lady, in the height of fashion, who appeared to be suffering under a rather painful attack of the Grecian bend.; iAs is usual on the train’s arrival I !on the American side, the bag ’i gage of the passengers was exami iiied by United States custom officers. “Have you any baggage. Miss?” inquired the officers of the aforesaid young lady. Nothing, except this replied she pro ’ ; diieing a small valise. The officer j examined and returned it at the : i same time scanning the person of! i the young lady in a manner that j amounted to redness. “Will you I follow me to the custom office. .Miss?” said the official. The corners of his mouth were almost ! drawn into a smile, and a mis. chievious twinkle was perceptible in his eyes as he led the wav to the 1 searching room. Arrived there,; i the lady’s face, which had pre-! j viously been of ft marble whiteness ! assumed a crimson hue. What is ' here ma'am ?” said the officer, pass- : ing his hand over the back of her , dross “That is my Grecian bend, replied she mta'cly casting d >wu her eves: “I did not know there was anv duty to pay on it’ “ I here is no dntv to piy on it. but we must examine it." replied the ob slinate o'li.-er. A fem tip search was procure 1. an 1 after strong pro- ! tests on the part of the young (adv ' the mvsterv of the “Grecian bend. ; alias the “Montreal wriggle,” was j unravelled, an I found to contain twelve y.ir Is of bl ick silk velvet. ; six pair of french kid gloves forty - yards of rich laee. four whit" os trlch feathers, and a bottle of Gilbeet s magic hair restorer. The United States customs are now convinced of the reason why the Grecian bend has had such a rage an I they intend to give particular attention to any cases of this infecti >us disease which may come un lertheir n >tice for the future. Ail cases of Grecian bend will be immediately put under quarantine ! on their arrival across tire border. I A Decorated Veteran. The freaks of fortune arc strikinglv illustrate 1 in the person of , one E. Keller, a soldier of MaxiraiUinn, who arrived at Few Orleans the other day, en rout’ to Europe, t.llis brea-t was literally covered with medals awardo him i for gallantry upon almost all the modern European battlefields.— Among the battles enumerated upon the various medals were Sebasi topol, Monte Bello, Valest.ro, Turrigo. Magenta, Marignan, Sjlferino, the Crimea. Duppel, etc — He has fifteen medals in all, iichiding nine gold ones, and c’ n rs to them as to life. Accompanying him were his two boys, remarkably interesting children, who spoke English fluently, and a “to 1 as interpreters for their father.— Thcv represented that their father had followed the fortunes of Max ! imillian ; that Ire had been a cap--4 tain in the-ongmaer corps, and was now endeavoring to make his wav to his home in Austria.* Some of these medals should entitle him to a pension.
