London, May ,30.—It is stated that
Gen. Grant promised the Mayor of Liver-
pool to return to that town, ptobnbly on
the 28th of June, to accept a banquet
proffered iu bis honor. The General
and party will arrive at the London
Road station at Manchester this morning
at 10:25 o'clock! where they will be re-
ceived by the Miyor and other members
of the corporation. The parly will pro-
in carriages to Sir Joseph Wliit-
worlh's machinery and gun factory, the
warehouse of .Áfcssi-s. S. & J. Watts A
Co., tho Assize Court, and the Royal
Exchange, and afterward proceed to the
Town' llalli where an address will be.
presented by the City Council. Gen.
and Mrs. Grant will remain the gnests
of the Mayor- at the Mayoralty opart-,
mcnts in the Town Hall this evening,
and will proceed to London to-morrow
at noon, by special train.
Ex-President Grant and wife will dine
with the Duke of Wellington on June
¡J. The Duke, in tendering the invita-
, said it seemed to him to be a fit
thing that Gen. Grant's first dinner in
London should be at Apsley House with
the Duke of Wellington. A subse-
quent invitation' from Earl Bcaconsfield
for the same day was deferred to a day
not yet fixed. A reception will be given
the General át United States Minister
Pierre|>ont's residence on the 5th of
Jane, and a dinner and reception at
Lórd Houghton's on the 7th. He will
attend tho Atfcot races on the 12th of
June. On the 16th of June he will
dine at Kensington Palace with Princess
Louise and the Marquis of Lorne, on
the 21st at Mfrister Pierrepont's with
the Prince of Wales, and on the 26th at
Mr. Pierrepont's viith the Duke of Cam-,
bridge. 8even other invitations to din
ner by distinguished persons were not
accepted on account of previous engage-
ments. The following invitations have
been accepted, but the day not fixed: To
dine with Earl Detbv, probably between
the 7th and 12th of Jnne; to dine with
the Queen, and attend the Queen's con-
cert and ball at Buckingham Palace,
Íday not fixed; because the Queen is at
Sal moral and the date of her return is
uncertain); and a dinner with the Lord
Mayor at Guildhall some time in June.
The Prince of Wales has arranged to
receive Gen. Grant at Marlborough
House'immediately after his arrival. It
is understood that the Prince will also
give a dinner in bis lienor, bnt no day
has been fixed yet.
Oil his way to London from Man-
chester to-morrow Gen., Grant's train
will stop a few minutes at Bedford, at
tho special request of the Jfayor and
Corporation, and an address will be pre-
sented.
Liverpool, Mny 30.-^Gen. Grant wgnt
to the Central Station in the Mayor's
carriage. The •station was decorated
with flags, and a large crowd was as-
sembled to cheer his departure.
ManciikstKb, May 80.—A large crowd
assembled at tho station here and gave
Gen. Grant and party a warm welcome.
The party then took carriages and pro-
ceeded to carry out the programme of
sight-seeing already telegraphed.

The Chinese shave the ' whole head
except a round pateh on the crown,
about as large as a .breakfast saucer. On
this they let the r hair grow, and it k
combed back and down and tied firmly,'
with tt string át the middle of tlie bottom
of the pateh. It is then divided into
three strands and braided. Jf a man is
vwjr poo , ho'r fchnfrty ftts Jar plat the
length of bis hair, fssteKutf *ati the end
, .with cotton stringent the Chinese have
a good deal oi pnde about their <haiiv
and, if they oan afford it, like to liave
the queue handsomely made. Oftert
tresses of false hair are added to it, for.
making which the hairs that faH ont are
carefuny saved. Of course, the hair is
thinner at the end than at the top, and
to keep the braid of more even size and
to jncrease its length, long bunches of
black silk cord are gradually woven
into it.
, Queues vary in length; but tho grown
men often wear them hanging nearly to
their shoes, the upper part of the braid
being hair, and the .lower pnrt of black
silk cord, which is tied in a tassel at the
end. . Ti) Sonthern China children's
queues are made bright and jaunty with
crimson silk.
For mourning white cord is used, and
for half-mourning blue! Also persons in
monrning do not have their heads shaven
for a certain length of time. When
the emperor dies, nobody in China is
expected to he shaven for one hundred
days.
Commonly, tidy, well-to-do people
have their heads slnvcn every few days,
and, as no one could easily shave the
top of his own head, every body em
ploys a barber. . Of course there are a
great many barbers; and, with all the
millions of people in China, they have a
large bnsiness.
Besides the shops, many barbers have
little movable stands, containing all their
tools; and they may often be seen plying
their art by tie wayside or at'the bouses
of their customers. The barber -hits a
basin of hot water, a towel, and an awk
ward kind ot razor; and when he has
shaven and washed the liead and braided
the hair of a man he ends up all by pat-
ting him with both hands npon tjjje back
and Bhonlders, in a way which to him is
truly delightful. For all this liis charge
is not more than six cents, and a poor
man would pay still less.
To make his queue thicker, sometimes
a Chinaman wishes to grow more hair,
and the b*ber will leave his head un-
shaven for jHrbaps a quarter of an inch
«II round tbe old circle of hair. When
the new hair is an indti or two long,
being very stiff, it stands up in a fringe,
like a kind of black halo, all round hffe
head, looking very comically and annoy-
ing the Chinaman very much until it is
long enough to be put into the braid.
When a man is at work, he finds his
queue very much in his way, and he
binds it abont his head or winds it up
in a ball behjgd, where he sometimes
fasten it with a small wooden combj
