OUR PARIS LETTER.
H'ECIAL PARIS CORHKHPONDKNCK OF THE EVEN
1NO TKLXORAPH.
Paris, February 25.
The Change In the Constitution.
The work of the French rViiate lias been
singularly augmented by this change.
That body will no longer have to examine
laws only in the constitutional point of view;
5t will have to consider them in every possible
light. We have, therefore, a second discussion
created in the Senate. That being the case, it
seems proper that the right of returning the
bill should be carefully limited.
How is that course to be demanded ? In
what form? !y how many bureaux Hy how
many Senators ? How will the examination
take place ?
The enatus-Constiltum gives no explanation
of all this. There are, however, other princi
pal points. If a proposal of return made by
a few isolated memlicra were sufficient to bring
on a fresh disunion, anarchy would ensue. It
is impossible to regulate with too much care
the position of the two Chambers, or to watch
over their mutual good relations with too
much solicitude. The difficulty relative to the
Emperor's arbitration ought also not to remain
in the limits of the preamble; it ought to bo
solved by the test of the Senatus-Consultum.
The Sticle, a leading opposition paper,
shows itself less liberal than the Government.
It would wish that a Senator should not be
allowed to speak or to examine a law till
after he had been authorized to do so by a
tertam numlier of bureaux.
The restriction would subject the right of
discussion to a regulation which might impede
it every moment.
Business will he conducted in the Senate as
it is in the Legislative body. Every Senator,
like every deputy, will have the right of dis
cussing, and it is the Assembly which will
eventually decide.
M. Thiers and M. Jules Favre are the iirst
who intend using the new right of interpella
tion. The former intends, it is said, asking
for some explanation about the line of con
duct followed by the Government of the Em
peror as regards Germany, and the mem
Iters of the Provisional Government in 1S48
will touch upon the unfortunate Mexican
expedition.
The public in France seems now to be very
apathetic as regards the debates in the present
session.
The Great Exhibition.
The Exhibition is the general theme of con
versation. It is now generally believed that,
the work being so backward, it will be utterly
impossible lor it to be opened on the 1st of
April next.
-The herniations as, to the prices of admis
sion have now been published. The
Exhibition will be divided into throe I
departments the main building, with
the Park, the Horticultural Garden, and the
Uillancourt or agricultural department. For
each of these departments there will he a
separate charge. The first week of the Exhi
bition will he (juite exceptional, and after this
prices will vary, according to the hours of the
day, from 50 centimes to two and a half francs.
One feature of the arrangements will be a
splendid thing for the photographers. The
authorities invite feason ticket-holders to
deposit their photographs, and to have a
duplicate on the back of their ticket; and this
nystein will in part be compulsory in respect
to the weekly tickets. Season tickets have
already been sold to a very large extent, and
it is considered "the thing" to have your
portrait affixed to the back.
Prices In Paris During the Kxlilbltlou.
There is no doubt but that foreign journals
very much overstep the mark when speaking
of the rates that will have to be paid for apart
ments, etc., during the exhibition months;
Imt undoubtedly the Parisian hotel-keepers
and .lodging-house keepers expect to reap a
line harvest; and why they should not it wouia
lie hard to say. ,liut while commercial Paris
tries to take every advantage of the law of
supply aiul demand, it will he well for them if
they do not let their vaulting ambition
" o'erleap itself," and fall on the other side.
There are very "great expectations" liert)
in Paris, and some of them will probably ha
followed by discomfiture, lmt that immense
turns of money will be spent in Paris between
April and September, at least is beyond doubt.
English and Americans will come here in
ecores and hundreds and thousands. It is
said that about 80,000 berths have already
l-en applied for in steamers from the other
side of the Atlantic, and there is a talk of the
Great Eastern bringing over 2SO0 at a time.
That the proprietors of hotels and restau
rants, and those that have apparteiuenU meuMi's
ou non mcahtii and chambres garnies to let, will
try to make the best they can of such a swarm
of locusts, is only reasonable to believe.
The Swiss are not usually remarkable for
their extravagant expenditure, and gome gen
tlemen from the land of mountains and
glaciers intend, on (lit, to camp out in the Pharo
des Princes.

Alarming News for the Wearers of
"Chignons."
The London fumed tells a curiou and most
lanning story about false hair, which wt? copy
or the uenent 01 the Wearers of ch'ujn cms: '
"We should he sorry to say anything that
would unnecessarily disturb the peace of
ladies in their compliance with the present re
markable fashion of wearing chiymms. The
custom may seem very remarkable to the
male half ot mankind, but this objection would
apply to many of the fashions by which
ladies consider that they adorn themselves,
and so must not count for much. A more
serious objection, and one more calculated to
have weight with English ladies, has been
started, according to a correspondent of our
own, by a Russian professor, M. Lindemann.
According to this authority, Seventy-six per
cent, of the false hair used for chignons and
similar purposes in Russia is infected with a
parasite to which he has given the name of
gregarine. The gregarinous hair, it is said, is
very like other hair in appearance, but on
close inspection little dark brown knots are
seen at the free end of the hair, and may even
be distinguished by the naked eye. These
are gregarines. The'se parasites have a most
ignoble ancestry and habitation, being found
in the interior of the pedkulm capitis. It is
only due to them, however, that these state
ments should be verified by other observers
before we give all the particulars of their
natural history,
"They are not easily destroyed. They re
sist the eflbcts of drying, and even of boiling.
Adds, alkalies, ether, and other agents would
kill them; but these would be injurious to the
hair, and so cannot ,be used. According to
the authority quoted, in the conditions of a
ball-room the gregarines 'revive, grow, and
multiply hy dividing into many parts so
called germ globules; these fly about the ball
room in millious, get inhaled, drop on the re
freshments in fact, enter the interior of people
by hundreds of ways, .and thus reach their
specific gregarian development.'
"We do not answer for the truth of this
natural history; but when the natural history
of the chignons themselves is considered, it
may well he all true. In Russia the hair for
them is supplied by the poorer people, especi
ally peasant women of the Mordwines and the
Uurlakes, near the Tolga, who do a large trade
in it. 'When the Burlake goes out to work in
the spring, he perhaps puts a clean shirt on,
hut he decidedly never takes it off until he
returns in the auteiun.' Verily, as the Pro
fessor argues, here is a fine chance for parasites.
We must leave the subject with ladies and
naturalists. Half the awful possibilities of the
fashion which it does not require a miero
scopist to suggest would deter men. We
cannot so certainly reckon upon affecting
ladies in a matter of fashion. Eut of all false
things, one of the most objectionable is falsa
hair." f'
Virginia in the Vati.
The bill culling for a Convention to reor
ganize undor the Military bill, which passed
the Virginia Senate on Wednesday, was strongly
opposed by Senators Ould and Mercier. The
Ric hmond Enquirer compares the speech of the
former to the "finest efforts of Clay or Webster."
Notwithstanding this opposition, the bill re
ceived a vote ot eighteen to eight seven Sena
tors being absent. It provides that the eleetiou
lor delegates shall be held on the firstrTburstlay
in May, und the Convention shall meet in Rich
mond on the third Monday in Muy, "to form a
Constitution of government in conformity with
said act ot Congress." All persons are to vote
for delegates who are qualified to act by the
act of Congress. Governor 1'lerpont is em
powered to appoint three persons in each
coumv, who shall select coninnssioners to con
duct the voting. The number of delegates to be
the fame as is allowed to the present House of
Delegates. The bill also provides that
"Every coaimlsslouer. conductor, and writer
appointed to conduct the election undor this
nuikliull, before eiitcriutiou the discharge of his
UulicH, take au until to the following: 'I do
solemnly swear that In the election about to be
held I will fiiltlifiilly und Impartially discharge
the duties appertaining to my olltce, according
to law, ho help me God-, which onth muy be ad
ministered by any person authorized by law to
ndiuluibler oaths, and In the absence of such
poisou, may be administered by the olllcers
uloresuld to each other; and no person shull act
us such olllcer under this Act uuless he Is quali
fied to vote lor doleKates to said Convention
under said Act ol Congress. The Constitution
formed hy said Convention shall be submitted
for ratification and approval, us provided by the
Act of Congress aiorchuid."
Richmond papers ailed to believe that the
course of the Senate in pussiu? this bill has oc
casioned indignation iinione the people. It is
very evident, , however, that the Senators are
carrving out the wibhes of their constituent.
There is, in fact, a race between the whites and
the black, the lormor feariug that if they delay
the latter will proceed with their plans already
undertaken, and with the aid of radicals reor-
eunizc tue state, and tuereoy steal a march
upon them.
