Hahi-Pi-anting.— lnteresting news is to hand from California. The San Francisco Bulletin says;—‘‘An establishment for the “repair” of human hair has been started bya hairdresserln Kampart street. Now Orleans, Louisiana. The proprietor does not boast that he can restore hair which has gone, but ho simply offers to plant a new crop. • Hair, he says, being a vegetable, can be planted anywhere, and, it the soil is fruitful, will grow luxuriantly. The operation, however, of grafting hair is rather painful. It is necessary to sew the new hair into the head with needles. The most astonishing results are; it is stated, produced by this system of hair-planting. Any colored hair may be grafted on anybody’s head. Brunettes may have red, blondes black hair; old persons black, and young grey hair • or a person may if ho likes have his' head “terraced," that is, laid out in patches of various colored hair—red. white, black, or brown—and in almost any sort of pattern or design., This style has been adopted rather largely in Now Orleans, and seldom fails to -produce a profound sensation.’ To those-who cannot afford human hair, the professor supplies at a reduced rate horsehair, which, is found quite: as useful as a covering, and able to stand an immense amount of wear and tear, with the additional advantage that it never roquires : combing or; brushing. ‘Many of the colored citizens of New Orleans will it Is, confidently anticipated, take advantage of the introduction of the iTiln flinf oltv to set rid of the wool anticmatod. taKO auviuiwiyc ui w hair-grafting art Into that city to get rid of the wool that disfigures their heads and replace it by more becoming locks, thus fitting themselves tor the duties of American citizens.” ■ ' ' . i ' * A Dance with; the Crown Princess.— At one of the balls where ho was present a cavalier attached to the suite of the Crown Princess Victoria stepped up to him with the message that her Imperial Highness wished to dance the next waltz with him. Angely started back at the intelligence, and, pointing to the floor, said to the cavalier in the peculiar Vienna accent, “On such a slippery floor I darn not undertake to dance, more especially with her Imperial Highness. “Please,” said the courtier smiling, to follow me Into the next apartment, and there you can get the soles of your hoots chalked by one of the lacqueys. Amrelv obeyed the direction of her Highness s messen fa taken these measures to ensure Kcr g am?Xr having taken these measures to ensure his’not falling, he stepped into the saloon where the dancing was going on. The Crown Princess was being conducted through the mazes of the dance by a tall and distinguished courtier, who. out of respect to his partner, held her, ns the etiquette at Court prescribes, at arm’s length. After Her Highness had been led back to her scat by the cavalier, Angely stepped up, and, making a low reverence, said— Your Imperial Higimess has deigned to express a wash to dance with me : but excuse my saying that I cannot dance like the gentleman that has just had the honour. I only understand the Vienna way to dance—that is, by clasping my partner round the waist.’ Smiling at this, the Crown Princess answered— Dance with me, Herr von Angely, as you choose : just as you have been ,inr.cn Vienna.” Angely now know /on Ancclv. as you cjiuuao . iccustoraod to dance iu Vienna ” Angely now knew what ho was about, and clasping his distinguished partner round the waist, lie danced three or four imes round the saloon at a rate enough to make one dddy to look at if.! When being conducted, back to her seat by Angely, ber Imperial Higimess turned to bun. and said—" So that is the way you danoo in Vienna. Well, I must say, I never found so much pleasure in dancing.”
