Not more than fifty ladies were present.
Mrs. Forrest. on her appearance, was well
received and the applause. mingled with
few hisscs at first, caused her to suivcr

consciousness Of my own innocence" &c,
she was greeted with loud and continued
cheers. Her voice appeared weak. but
she certainly made very favorable i'm

The Late Horrible Murder In
Phil iInlcIDlpin. H

The excitement in reference to the laic
terrible murder Of the boy Lehman, in
Philadelphia. continues very intense, and
the papers of that city nre filled with al
kinds Of runors and surmiscs as to the gull.
ty perpetrators. The following, from tho
Philadelphia Sun, seems to Indicate that
he was murdered by three Hungarian re-
fugecs. II says: W
"lt appears that about the 10Th Of De-
ccmbcr three men. who represented them.
selves as Hungarian refugees, rented
house in Richmond street, near Hunting
ton street. A months rent was paid in nd.
vance by them. and they left about three
days before the time expired. They rent.
ed the house from Mr.. G. M. Snyder. a
baker who resided next door. On tho
eighth Of January, the day on which young
Lehman disappeared. he was nj the shop
Of Mr.. Snyder. endcavoring to dispose OF
his goods. He said the Hungarians. or
Frenchmen, as they were generally called,
had fooled him on several occasions, by
pretending that they wanted to buy jewell
ry of him. He said he would go once more,
and ifthcy fooled him again he would mako
them pay for his lost time.
Mr.. Snyder says the last lie saw Of him
was in the alley between tho two houses;
his impression ut the time wns that he had
gone into the house occupied by the Hun
garians. About the 10th Of January these
men moved away. On Saturday the house
underwent critical examination by tho
police. There were spots of blood on tho
step, from the first 10 the third floors. In
the closet IN the second story room wcro
several large spots. On the upper shelf
were several finger prints. There were
also number Of spots and feathers in tho
closet in the kitchen. In the cellar several
spots were found upon the wall and on
the stairway.
When the suspected party left the house
in Richmond street, they sold their few
articles offurnitnrc TO dealer in second
hand goods in Kensipgion. This denler
has been traced out, and spots Of blood
were yesterday found on some Of the
chairs sold 10 him. Their led was iicd
up with thin, but strong cord; this bed
and the cord we're found at the shop of,hc
dealer, on Saturday; the cord matches cx-
acily with the cord& that were found round
the mutiloted remains, 10 compress tbem
into small space. The dealer had bought
among the other articles, two bags of fes-
Tiers from the supposed murdercrsl IA
The purchase was made a few days be-
fore the house was vacated. but when tho
goods were devierod, ,onc bng was missing,
the contents Of the rcmninipg bag were
yesterday found 10 correspond exactly
with the feathers found about the body of
tho murdered boy. These feathers were
not prepared in the usual way, aud were
just as they were plucked from the geese.
They we're identified by person ut Rich
mond, who had'several geese stolen about
the lime Of the murder.
1t Is hoped for the sake Of humanity and
justice. that the miserable. cold Lloodcd
wretches who committed the attrocious
deed, may yet be made TO atone to tho Of
Tended law. The muiiln,ed remains oftho
unfortunate lad were buried yesterday.

A TALE OF" Two Docs. The follow.
ing, from late English paper. is one Of
the best dog stories we have seen for some
time:
"a gentleman resident in Lincolnshire,
was lately on a journey about eighty or
ninety miles from home, and left favo-
rite little dog at an hotel while he visited
another town in the neighborhood. On
his return, the landlady. in dismay. told
him his dog had been attacked by u large
dog Other own, and had run away from
the house. He left. but returned again to
the same hotel after the lapse Of few
weeks; when the landlady Informed him
that his little dog had returned in the in
trrim, accompanied by large dog, who
had attacked her own dog so fercely that
he nearly killed him. From the dcscrip
ton given Of the animal, the gentleman en-
tertaincd no doubt that il wns his own house

home. he learnt from the servants that
shortly after his departure, his little favo-
rite dog returned one day, bearing marks
Of ill-usagc, and after apparently consult.

Fact for the CuriOuS.-Ecmnl
Beauty.


The ladies Of Aiabia stain their fingers
and toes red. their eye brows black. and
their lips blue. In Persia, they paint a
black streak around the eyes, aud orna-
mcnt their faces with various figures
The Japanese women gild their teeth,
and those Of the Indies paint them red
The row Of teeth must be dyed black to

men,s Of red and black In Greenland,
the women color their faces with blue and
yellow, and they frequently tattoo their
bodies by saturating threads in SCOT, in.
ser,ing them beneath the skin. and then
drawing them through. Hindoo females
when they wish to appear particularly
lovely, smear themselves with u mixture
of saffron, turmeric and grease. In near
ly all the islands of the Pacific and Indian
oceans, the women, as well as The men,
tattoo great variety of figures on the face,
the lips. The tongue, and the whole body
In New Holland they cut themselves with
shells, and by keeping open the wounds
long time. form deep scars in tho flesh,
which they deem highly ornamental =
And another singular addition is made to
| their beauty by taking off, in infancy. the
| little finger Of the left hand, at the second
joint. In ancient Persia. an aquine nose
was often thought worthy of the crown;
but the Sumairan mother carefully Aattcn-
ed the nose Of her daughter. Among some
of the savage tribes Of Oregon and also in
Sumatra and Arracan, continual pressure
is applied to the skull in order To flattcn il,
and thus give it a new beauty. The mod
ern Pcrslahs have strong aversion TO red
hair; the Turks. on the contrary. are warm
admirers of it, 1n China, small round eyes
are liked; and the girls are continually
plucklng their eyebrows that they may
be thin and long. Bot the great beauty
of a Chinese lady is in her feet. which. in
childhood, are SO compressed by bandagcs
as cffectually to prevent any further in
crease in size. The four smaller toes are
turned under the foot, to the sole Of which
they firmly adhere; and the poor girl not
only endnrc. much pain, but becomes a
cripple for life. Another mark Of beauty
consists in finger nails SO long that castings
OF bamboo are necessary to preserve them
from injury. An African beauty must
have small eyes, thick lips, large. Aat
nose, and skin beautifully black In
New Guinea, the nose is perforated, and a
large piece Of wood Or bone inserted On

Laying in his Journal ola Residence in
Norway, speaking ofthc excessive polite
ness ofall classes Of people there. towards
each other, says:
II like the Poli,eness Of people towards
each other in this country, the pulling of
bats or caps, when they meet either stran-
gers or friends. The c.stom is universal;
common laborers, fishermen, private SOL
diers salute each other with bow, and do
not merely touch the hat. but take il of.
This is carefully taught to the children.
