reports the following fight between the we'll
known Leslie Coombs and Henry T. Duncan,
banker Of the same city:

WoMAN's BEAUTY It takes most women two-thirds of their lifetime to discover that men may be amused by, without respecting them and every woman may make up her mind that to be really respected, she must possess merit she must have accomplishments of mind and heart, ard there can be no real beauty without these. If the soul is without cultivation, without refinement, without taste, without the sweetness of affection, not all the mysteries of art can make the face beautiful l and. on the other hand, it is impossible to dim the brightness of an elegant and polished mind It's radiance strikes through the encase- ments of deformity, and asserts it's sway over the world of the affections
 It has been my privilege to see the most celebrated beaa+ies that shine in the gded courts of fashion throughout the world, from St..James to St. Petersburg, from Paris to h. l dia, and yet know of no art which can atone for the defect of an unpublished mind aud un.
 lovely heart. That charming activity of soul,
 that spiritual energy, which gives animation
 grace, and living light to the animal frame, is | after all, the real source of woman's beauty
 It is that which gives eloquence to the Ian
 guage of his eyes, which gives the sweetest
 expression to her face, and lights up her wholt personnel as if her very body thought

SHORT BRIDAL TRIp.-On the 4th of July heavy business man of Boston was married there to a handsome young lady. He was rich, doing good business and forty years of his life had passed before he saw Miss -, the daughter of his lawyer, and married her. On the morning of the 5th,. they started on a Western collecting tour, and last week arrived at Milwaukie and put up at the Newball House. On this short trip, the rose had great ly faded from her cheek, and sadness had over spread her countenance. No one knows the cause, but last Monday they visited lawyer of this city, and signed papers agreeing forev- CT to separate-each to go where fancy or in- cination might lead, and henceforth to be as strangers to each other. He settled upon her Boston property to the amount of $20, 900, gave her besides 5000 in cash, and on Mou- day she left for Boston. Both parties are well educated, handsome, and apparently well ft- ted for each others society, but some cause unknown to outsiders, led to the above re- suits. Every woman is not so fortunate.

ADVICE FROM A LADY TO THE LADIEs-A lady correspondent of one of our exchanges writes as follows concerning hoops and lifting up dresses:
 "The hoops should be near together, say two or three inches apart, and come to within as many inches of the feet or the bottom of the dress. A word about the management of dresses In the first place, in going up stairs, you need only lift the front of your dress, and in descending, the back of your skirts. The front part of your dress can by no effort be soiled in descending, nor the back part by as- cending pair of stairs. Do therefore have reform in this to my mind immodest habit you have heedlcssy got into, of dragging your dress behind going down stairs, aud lifting it up in front instead.'

A capital practical joke in reference to Horace Greeley, has been played off with suc- cess in California. A paper there started the story that Mir. Greeley was coming there to take the command of the 6lbusters of that State, and would unite with Walker and Hen. ningsen ill invading Mexico and usurping the government of that republic. A copy of this paper fell into the hands of the commander at Mazatan, and he at once issued proclama- tion informing the people that "One Horace Greeley, a most 'diabolical, blood-thirsty and unmercifnl man-worse than the infamous Walker, or even the minions of Miramon- man whose very name struck dread to the hearts of thousands in the United States, so many were his crimes and so terrible was his conduct is now at the head of the most ex- tensivc baud of flIibusters ever collected, and on his way to Mexico w He then exhorts the people to prepare themselves for instant ac tion, and concludes thus This dangerous man (hombre peligrose) is not of the commol school of 6llibusters they wish for plunder, he for blood and murtlerous deeds"
