Aprnovitn. March 3, 18."3. illtDCcIIani). HUMAN HAIR. Blackwood dropped n suggestion, a few monlhs aL'o, to Ihe effect that Human Hair would bo a cond sub jeci mr nn nrtieie, mm auueu, " Mow well otiie ot the writers in the Quarterly Review would doit." The Quarterly has acted upon the hint, nnd the result is an article na full of striking fact and pleasing fancy ns nny that has appeared in a review for years. A few of ihe writer' facts and lanciea we select lor tho edification and entertainment of our render. Since the world began, ihe hair has been a universal vanity. The mistress of Alcibiatles, no doubt, kept that nngnilicentdutuly wuitiug many a half honr while she arranged tho golden grasshopper; and whore is the modern youih who fails lo give his curls iho "flow ing touch " ere he ventures iuM ihe glare of ball room gun! In Puritanic times, a man' religion was deter mined by the Rtato ol ihe poll ; in still darker ages, long hair was the sign of freedom, nnd a crop pod head the mark of a slave. No wondor the hair hnshad a po litical and religious significance, for it is the only part 01 in ootiy wuicn a man can atiupo ana carvo to his fancy. R ice determines tho color of tho hair. Besinninc nt the most northern inhabited latitudes of Europe, ami journeying southward, tho color of tho people' hair deepens with every parallel, fiom tho Norwegian flux-en to the blue-black of tho nation on the shore of tlm Mediterranean Sea. Each hair is a tuhu, filbd with n fluid, and the color of that fluid is tho color of the hair. Tho reason why black hair i black, i aimply because ii coloring fluid contains more charcoal (carbon) than that of any other ; and hair become grny us ibis fountain of iis lil'o and benuty dries up. Henco the hair may, and does sometimes, become gray in au hour. As a rule, the lighter the color of tho hair, the finer its quality. An eminont German underwent the enormous la I tor nt counting the number ol hairs tn heads of four different colors. In a blonde one. he found ono hundred and forty thousand hairs; inn brown, one hundred aud nine thousand four hundred aud forty t in a oini'tt, ono hundred aud two thousand nine hundred and sixty-two; in a red, oiihty-eiaht thousand Mven hundred and forty: (he four scalps being about equal in weight, rrom their waving, sdkeu beauty, poets and artist delight in golden tresses. Shakespeare mentions 1 lack hair but twice in all hi writing, while his allusions to hair of lighter shades are to bo counted by Ihe score. In Iho Loudon National Galle ry there 1 not one b lurk -haired lema'e head, though the bends are exceedingly numerous. Yet the fathiona- hie shade fur hair hasdt-epeued of late years. In tbe lust century golden hair wu sold a a lavnrby dealers to their most important customers, at two dollar an ounce nearly twice the price of silver Tho dark shade now in vogue are procured in the south ol 1 ranee, where the peasant girl eagerly offer their luxuriant lock lo ihe hir-dealer' aheara, for twenty sous op a gaudy cotton handkerchief. For light huir, thu reaper of locks goes lo Germany. A huir merchant, "when hi nose is in," can till by tlm smell alouo, whether a sheaf of hair grew on French, English, Imh, Scotch, Welsh, or German heads. Women seldom become bold, because there 1 "a larger deposit of fat in the fmnalo scalp" than In the male ; but their hair become gmy a early in Lie as that of the other sex. " Hence," says our witty re viewer, "the plosjy ringlet which the poor peasant girl of Tour parted with for a few sons na a nest egg toward her dowry, hive douhtles aided iu procuring a uito.Me helpmate for Home blue pinsier or fast dowager of Maylair." Tho reviewer consulted his halter upon iha subject of men' buldneai. That luriuiiute m tn fortunate in having so delightful a customer expressed the opinion lhat the reason why tin n became balil nt nn earlier a?e now than forty euta ago, i the general use ol ilk hnta, which keep the head nt a higher temperature than beaver one.

History ha much to sy upon the hair and beard In the middle age lone hnir was highly esteemed aud was much worn among tho gentle classes though the clergy denounced it an a vanity, and even a "mortal sin." Whou Francis I. wn wounded in the bend, and was, in consequence, obliged to be cropped, all the French courtiers, in compliment to their kiim ubmitted to the aheara, ami short hair became, for a time, the fashion throughout Europe. In England short hnir came in with llio Reformation. Iu the time of the Tndors, both men and women wore iheir huir short, which gives to the portrait of lhat period a hard disngreenbleelVect. Aa tho hair hoTieued; the beard wn allowed to grow, and there ha never been a Hmo whou ihe hair and beard were both worn long. Wiih the smart, aa every one kiiowa, long hair renined its old ascendency, nnd tho beard diminished ; though the tiritnus invFiuhed ncntnsi Ihe Ho ing curls of the cav aliers, with more than tho ferocity of the earlier priest. 1 ho reign ol Loui All I. ol f ranee was the lime wheu perukes were invented those lofty and solemn monu menu of human folly a period iu the history of hair which tho reviower approaches with awe.

A very ludicrous entry in Pepys Diary, November 3rd, l(iii!l, mark the introduction of these portentous head-dresses into bugland. "Homo, by anil by come Chapman, ihe nerri win- maker, and upon my liking it(ihe wig), without more ado I wont up, and then lie cut off my hair, which went a little tu my heart at prenont lo part with it; but it being over, and my porriwig on, I paid him three pound, and away went he wiibj my own hair to makeup anotuerol: and l, by ami by, went abroad, after I had caused all my maid to look upon it. and they concluded It do become 11m, though June was nvghtiiy troubled for my parting wiih my hair, and ao w as nesie.

They are on the very routn lo China, and must be stopping pln-ces for thoso lines of steamships which the course of events and the spitit of enterprise of tho age will shortly establish. Thus shouted, there is a feeling of inquisitivri.es a to their enpaehie for forwarding those great themes that f.irward march of event of which tho present time is pregnant. You and oth-' or wish to know what aro their inherent resource, 1 aud what the probabilities of these rcsourcos being developed by the nativo race. Can the aborigines, you ask, be left, be trusted, to bring out iho riches of i iheir position i or, not beiug equal to tho ploco they I fill, will thoy, like o many other race, have to yiald I them up to the every where energetic Anglo Ssxou 1 I I will state how I am treat iuir tho aubiect for von. I commence by giving you an uccount ot the inherent i.ipauimies, iuo material iruoiure that is, thu aot . elimale, and productions of the islands. Ttiii leads ' me io lomo rainer inierotting geological vtaws: but 1 ; jun un (iriuni'B ury uieory, reserving till lor a communication I intend making to my friend Dr. Hull, of Montreal. If it shall be decided that I am right, my speculations will make a considerable sweep through geological science. I now come to tho natives to tho inquiry, what truly are tho capabiliiies and peculiarities of tho H-waiiansT a question U ia somewhat difficult for any one to treat, and perhup rather dolicato for a resident to discuss. The missionaries have cried them up, or rather they havo cried up the humanizing and improving influences of their own missionary exertions. Others havo run lliem down. What is the fuct? To answer is somewhat of a puzzle. You land say at Honolulu. It is Sunday. A Scotch Sabbath still-ne reign iu the little town. You go to the chief na-live church, a clumsy but large and massive stone strncttiro. You see tho natives all seated orderly in their pews, decently dressed in civilized stylo a display of silks among the women, and of broadcloth on tho men. By and by the King passes you, a small man for a Hawaiiao, aud quiet looking. Some of the members of his little court follow. You are impressed by the appearance of John Young, the premier, a half-caste. Iu any assembly iu London or Parts he would be noticed aa a handsome, well dressed, and gentlemanly looking man; yet I believe he has never been out of thu islands. The service proceeds singing passably good. You understand nothing, but see tho congregation regarding tho preacher with intelligent eye. Did you know the language, and were you to quctdiuu them on the subject of discourse, most of them could give you a good account of it, and some miht puzzlo you by tho extent of their Scriptural knowledge. Servico over, you are introduced lo some of the natives, and fiud them of pleasiog addresa, aud making good use of the little English they know. The evotting closes wiih the same decent propriety. On Monday it is different. You see the bustle aud some of iho disorder of a seaport; yon conclude, however, thai the latter i nothing moro than what one generally find iu auch reaort. In a day or two you ride into the country. Passiug by the impression mado on yon by tho novel scenery, productions, habitations and costume ot iho land, you are unavoidably struck by a cortain air of desolation and wreck that pervades it. You see large tracts, evidently recently cultivated, abandoned and going to decay; ruin and old foundation of bouse, mouldering fence, and other unequivocal signs of departing life and energy. You ask-rather you get n friend to ask why are these places abandoned f Where are the men who lived on them f A molancholy shako of the bead, and make (dead) is iho uniform reply. Such ia tho aspect nf thioua wher. evor I have been ; and the eatimato that the population of these islands i only one-eighth of what it was when Cook visited them is probably correct. You inquire of the while resident, perhap of some mission ary irieuu, wuai is the reason ot all this. Yuu are toid that imported disease, measles, fevers, &c, have frequently devastated Ihe islands. The reply, in part, account for what you see. You aro aware that diseases transmitted by the whites to oilier raqe. have very often raged among lh"e with excessive virulence. Still, on reflection, it only in part accounts for it, and is far from being altogether satisfactory. Plagues, pestilences, bloody war, famines, have often carried off vast multitudes in Europe and America. But the blank h been speedily filled tin. and life in fre.h irength ha sprung out of iho relict of death. Why is it not o here T Why are there no ymptom of revivifying energies! Why. in ihe midst ol frahlv v. cated and fertile Innd, with abundant rewards for la- nor, ana with no latnl epidemic fur years, does tho population not increusef Why ia it, on the contrary, stationary or dimiuishins 1 And. still mnm niir...r. diiiary, why are the races, by all accounts, Ihemselve uimiiiisiung in size ami vigor I In short, finally, whence the apathetic listfitssnes that atagnate over all the lair laud f When you ask your friends for a aolu-lion of your dillicultiea you get replies numerous and contradictory. You aro cast among the native ihem rive, and now you fancy yon will speedily lee whut is the mailer. For some time you aro moro and moro astray. At length, a you begiu to understand them, Iheir way ami inugiie, light commence to brenk in on yon. You find you are among n people of altogether a peculiar character, with virtue and vi nl tlw.ir own; and, beginning tn understand their springs of action, you begin, too, tn understand how il j that those springs are now relaxed. I ahull not attempt lo pivoyou oven u 'i miliary in me conclusion to which I havo come. They are drawn from a wido field; perhaps you will think il too wido. I may uy, however, that I hue found the wholo subject very IntT esiing. Tho language especially so. 1 am quite sulia-lied ihut on many account it deserve r more attention than has hitherto been bestowed on it. I hopo to make this plain, aud should I succeediin awakening the attention of thoso sufficiently qualified to truro out all its bearings, I nm confident it will thrnwcimaidern-hie light on the hiatory of language nnd of man. To do full justice lo the au'bject a knowledge of the Sans-crit and kindred tongues ia necessary, nnd in ihi I am deficient. I may nlso say here that 1 wish to collect an accurate account of what wn the real condition of the race lilty year ago. because it i a thing that has not yet been done, and which it i notyeltooiate to do. I know several native who recollect Captain Cook's coming, and lately conversed with a woman who wns then married. "Ah!" she aaid, "wo wero in ih-ise dayavery ignorant (na au po). Wa thought the ship waa n very big bird." Though having numerous descendants in the third, ami 1 believe fourth decree. ho is yet .mart enough .and showed mo lb - path tho j " ""e "' "' "'" correct remembrance iff tho old lime must, however, i inn few year., vanish. I next proceeded lo narrate tho new thing brought ; on by ihe foreigner, and tu discuss the changes thence , arising. Both are numerous firearms, nnd the mil) j jugation of the islands by Kamehnmeha llio First, goats, ahoep, cattle, horses, the obliteration of old j way and sport, and the beginning uf the assumption of new one. &c. Of all these, however, iho meat in- teresting on many account i the missionary. He and hi doing are matters that aome have troated with a liinid, other with a hot and hasty hand. I shall do my best to treat of both fully and lairly. I may tell you hero that, in my opinion, when they came to these islanda thoir hope aim aim were loo high, and now, from disappointment, thoy are too low. They, front the tirat held au elevated position. Ihe priesthood wn a constituent element of tho native government,! and not only did the missionary fill iho plaro of the 1 native priest, hut ho was 1 miked up to a a while teacher to be relied on in all the arcina of tho civilization of Ihe while. Though they lay behind hand, there fort, Ihe pledge they had given before leaving the United Slate forced this on them, ihey necessarily became, and have for the last thirty years, constituted the real government. All men, ol whatever party, who now come to these islands, aeo thai in all that relates to the material well being of the people the results of the policy of that government have beeu unhappy lamentably iinlinppv. Whether any one could, from the first, have predicated (hat tins would be tho case fiom the measure adopted is another que lion. But as to the fact nf the decaying energies of tho people, it i a thing before every eye. The oourse those gentlemen took was one at least natural to them, las missionaries ami American. Thev weut forih wiih the Bible in one hand nnd the American constitution in uie other, tn ths firm belief thut they grasped, aud vu,u uiaponae. 10 a HuumisMvo people, tho whole ele men 1 ol an eulighicned nnd happy civilization.

VMl " bU,, of ' Without entering 1 Ul"11' 1 am iemPa to poiut to two or three Kiii:z7;jLTiT.j:: chair, and naturally princmir from the view thev entertained. The lint of these is the totui upsetting of ' " "u '"V" HI K'oninjo'", and tbe premuiure luiro-duclu.not iho American, or English constitution. It wero unfair, however, to lay this to the charge of the missionaries as missionaries. It is an error sometimes a very grave one which Englishmen and Americans ll&ve avurvwhem n aiirt ,if mnmo. t.. ..nm,iiti.,a can constiuiimnai government is every where j the hobby of Ihe Anglo-Saxon, unmindful that centm What he calls constitutional government is everywhere riea of atrllnn(a f (,, ti.ur f .1: . rn . . . . . 1 uiaiBier, o continual battling with atorma, and nicely trimming of aiis lo catch each favoring breeze, havo habituated him to its nature and use, aud made it b himself as it wero part and parcel of his very being ; ho everywhere and to every people holds it up as a blessing at all hazard to bo reached after by them a the one thing needful for thoir social snlvaiiun. And, everywhere, when the scheme fails, aud wreck and ruin are its results, he ever turns round on those he has unwittingly injured nnd lays all the fault on their intellectual and moral deficiencies. It were as wise a thing to press a crow of landsmen, ot them aboard a ship with chart, quadmut, compass, &c, and push them off to sou it wore as reasonable a thing, when they bud lost the vessel, to lie up all (he poor devils who had earn nod the wreck, and oivn oui-b r..nml dozen for being a lubber, aud not knowing the ropes. It is just so here ; tho Kanakas aro put down a a set of know-nothings nnd never-will know-onyihings, be-cause they have failed in a business to which, ns a nation, ihey never erved an apprenticeship. All this eems to me wrong, and I confess I regret the prema- . un, power oi me cniei. Even grunting that neither intellectually nor morally woro they superior to the commonality. I till b..l,l ib.t .....ll and politically their feelings were, so to say, higher toned. They held themselves as tho fathers of tiieir race, and the verv tact thut thou ur thr... h.,. ;,:.... descended from their high station of ruk-rs and judge,' and to a great extent divested themselves, id' n.,.i rights ot property, became they believed that litis was ior ino goou ot ineir people, is tn mo a pregnant proof that hud they retained these; as they were the natural, w. wooui uiey nuve neen the willing and efficient neonta in all that tended to their good in (.very inenstire ol social amelioration. Agtiu, the missiona'rie have mado tlm native, and not iho English language, ihe bam of their educational effort. Hero, also, In' my opinion, bus been a great, n grievous error. I hope, as I havo said, that I shall make it apparent to yon "!D ittwm.uu language, ttKe me Hawaiian rare, very singular ns t ia in it unwr nnd ii. ,L.i;.i.., desorve much moro attention than ha hiiherlo be. bestowed on it.

Woman, set free from ihe restraint of her former hampered condition, and having new dutie and obligation imposed on her being re quired, in fact, to at-mne the place of the woman of mouern civilization needed to have a lively picture presented to hep of the dignity to which puriry of luuupi.i aim uuimu um rntsou iter ex in this civiliza tioo, this new phase, which humanity has put on. The powers of tho chiefs, na auperintondent of dome ic induatry, us supremo iu questions of policy and war. having como lo abeyance, uml the masses being required to take the p isition of self-acting freenmn in n free State to assume that is a character foreign to all their previous conceptions, and I may say natures, needed tho aid of every stimulus that could mus theirouergie to bestir themselves and master tho difficulties ol ihe new sphere of action in which they had to imive. Whnt more powerful aid and enconrngement could they have had than to know, and one may say to feel, how tho men they were required to emulate lived aud moved in similar spheres. Now, I do not siy that a knowledge of English language aud literature would necessarily have brought about all this, hut in my opinion it was a necessary preliminary to it. Aa iu me measure a proof of iho wisdom and surcoss of the plan, I may call yout attention to the very happy condition of the mixed race on Pitcafru's Island. Tiieir having been led to abandon their mother's tnuguo, and Hdopt that of their father's, was, I do not believe, main cause nf this. It must be acknowledged lhat the business wn a difficult one. None know the difficulty better than one who, like myself, has endeavored lo teach Kanaka English, aud ia now trying to master the Kan nka tongue. Still the fund wero large perhaps $0fl,-0(10 have been expended in educniiuu and I nm convinced that a comparatively small portion of this, ski) fully and energetically applied, would have enabled tho many who would wiliiogly have aided the effort, tu overcome the difficulty, Tho main positive cause was to bo found in the mind of tho missionary, in bis belief that the Bible was itself all sufficient, ami in ihe dread, almost tho abhorrence, with which he regarded what we call light reading, and all the unbounded li cense of tho modern press. Now, thia wa all well and right on the mure missionary i hut when his a ton ped beyond thi character, ami became politician, the head of a political party in a recognized kingdom, ho u-ppc-u nuu nun annuiar apnere oi action, in which nil bis doing are subjected lo the judgment, and mint be tried according to tho principle of other rule. Before such a tribunal it would bo hard for him t make good his cause. In point of fact, the dread of inniieiiiy, u such wns rineriaincu, w vam.

AH the arum of all the richest or smuttiest French novels would all on a Kanaka unheeding and unhurt. A well might you expect to injure a duck by sprinkling water upon it. It hna gambolled in it from tho very egg. I ouht not to omit, however, even here, to tell you that vnt i-oii religious, elementary nnd aome other works, have issued from the missionary press in the native language. They do not much attract the n' trillion of the Kanakas, nor are porltap of n character In do s -, and I often -v them Imn np for use vile. I must make one exception. John Banyan' Pilgrim I have found deposited in ilm coi ner ot many a hut, all complete, though over-marked, if that could bo, with tho glorious illumination of thumb pi ini and soils frmn Ireqnenl perusal.

Heavy fines and long imprisofinetii, aided by iho machinery of that power now nnd mystetiotis to the native, the written law. were brought into restless and harassing notion.

I must, however, hurry to a conclusion, or I shall bo writing my book twice over. I will I ell you ol length in the book my opinion of the actual erudition aud prospects of the Island, and of tho plan and acheme which ibee suggest. Hero I my brit fly ay hat their splendid clinmio, commanding position end fertile soil, ought to nmko them a rich spot. What 'hey want is labor, and capital to elaborate that richness. The Kanakas, 1 am surry to swy it, for with all their faults I Iiko them still, wilt not or rather d i not w,rk. They lie on iheir nmis ull day, aud loll or sleep, only occasionally rousing themselves io provide lor pret- mc wants. This is nut mm h. so fur u I can see. from want of capacliy lo apprehend, or from want of ability or en-rgy to execute what lh y are convinced is for their good ; it is because there lias been a enm-plele boulevtrtement uf ull their idea, and thai when urged on by tiieir leaders in ihn new order of things. every iwo hteps ihey hove made lorwurd litis leiunera three steps behind. Wiihout labor, capital is powerless. A good deal has been accumulated here, but bus gone off with it owner to find a profitable investment. Moro might be got from other qnrter but without a commaiid of labor it cannot be profitably employed. Iu short, if anv sane man could have any doubt that an uc'ivo inductions population i tho only basis of national prosperity, ho inuy come here aud he will find lhat such prosperity exist not, ihnugh every element of its constitution, saving the essential ono, is present.

Tho California excitement rnUing tbe price to threefold, and firing a seemingly inexhaustible market for many products, such as syrups, sugar and potatoi n, produced n great stir, ond made a large circulation of gold ; suddenly ceasing it left everything much duller and more dead ihnn belore.

Tus Artist n th Pitch ess Tlm Pari correspondent of the D uly Register tells an amusing anecdote uf a young painter, who is not yet celebrated, but whom a young dochrss consented 'o advance by allowing him to tnko her portrait for iho exhibition. She gave him several sittings, ai d when ihe picture wu finished, she took several of her friend lo llio studio, to have iheiropiniuu. As Usual, not two ngrod ; one thnneht the nose loo long, another, the eyes too blue, another, tho rmitnh too large 1 in short, it was decided that Ihe painter had failed. He, however, convinced lhat he had, on tbe contrary, succeeded most admirably, and being, therefore, totally averse lo imiking any change, proposed that the derision be lelt lo an imonrlia tndce. and aa Ilm duchess had a little King Charles which was ex-credingly attached In her, il was uflieed tli at the dog lioiild settle the question of roaomblancn or no re aemblauce. Accordingly, llie picture was sent to the hotel, the next day, and ihe p dtiter, die duchess and her fiiend usaembled iu the bdIool. The purtrait was pl-id'd upon ne n or, leaning ngiurisi mo wan; ihe Uuctiesa hid brst ll, nod ihe little sianii-l wna called in. He imnin- liately looked around lor h mistress, and not ceeim? her began n search. After smelling around a minute h npnronrhed tho portrait, but h had no sooner seen it it.n-i he sprang upon it, licked it nil over, and ahowed every demon stration of Ihe grrulest joy. The assembled friends, almost to tear, deduced ihe punters triumph, for when the diielifS showed herself, the little dog refuted to leave the picture. I lie critics hi gum that the art ist find retouched thn portrait during too niuht, ond were unanimous in iheir opinion ot its resemblance. The painter had. it is true, retouched the picture, but simply wiih a light coating laru t i ue nog s noso was sharper limn the critics' eyes, Mr. Paktikoton at tiii Opkr.
