SwENDLING.-An incident in connection with
the recent flight of the students deserves to be
mentioned. A cgrtain Southern city, which
boasts of a youngtand not very deserving os pro
ftabe medical cotlege, was anxious to take ad-
vantage of the ebullition in the Philadelphia col
eges, and SECURE share of the students that left
them. sVEn of five thousand dollars was appro-
pliated by She City Councils to defray the expen-
ses of thoss that would go to the college III ques-
ton. This sum placed in the hands of
young .ooutherner, who Immediately advertised
in Philadelphia morning paper a most enthu-
siastEc but not very well written appeal to the
Southern students, inviting them to call OH him.
We understand that he received a good many
calls from enthusiastic Southerners, some of whom
'were students, and he furnished of them
with funds sufficient to pay their bills here and
their travelling expenses. To one person, who
represented that he came on behalf of large
number of students that wanted to go South, he
gave nearly the half Of the five thousand dollars
appropriations All the young men thus provided
were to meet him at the Baltimore Railroad sta
ton at a certain hour certain day, and they
to proceed together proudly to their 8 native
Sunny South he POLITICALLY and originally
described it. The disburser of the FIVE thousand
went to the station exulting, but not one of his
friends joined him. He waited till the last moment,
when it flashed upon him that he had been cruel
y sold, and getting into dark corner of car, he
started for home, wiser, though much poorer

A SOUTHERN LEAGUE.-There has been formed,
in New York city, 50 Union League" composed
chiefly of Southern people residing or transacting
business there. Their main business will be to
inform their brethren in the slave States Of all
suspicious characters visiting them from that part
of the country to disseminate abolisionism pre-
tence of prosecuting legitimate business as agents
for commercial houses. The league is thorough
ly organized, and embraces within its raElifca-
tons portion Of the New England Safes.

CANINE LAURIE."-Nr. Chambers says the
verses of this song, which are in style wonder
fully chaste and tender for their age, were written
by Mr. Douglas, of Finland, upon Annie, of
the four daughters of Sir Robert Laurie, first Bar
onet of Maxwe elton by his second wife, Who was
daughter of Cidde of MiHto. AS Sir Robert W as
created Baronet in the year 1888, it is probable
that the verses were composed about the end Of
the 18th or the beginning of the 18th century. 1t
is painful to record that, notwithstanding the ar
dent and chivalrous affection displayed by Mr.
Douglas in his poem, he did not obtain the hero
inc for wife. She married to Mr. Ferguson,

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.-In order to have its
full effect, beauty must be natural and connected
with perfect health. A fair skin and rosv cheek
are calculated 20 excite sttE;raGion; bat if it be
discovered that they are produced by paint, then
admiration becomes contempt; or, if owing to
disease, 1t is changed to pity. The grand pre-
servation of beauty are the which impart
health to the body The reason is, that the skin
is everywhere, except on the palms of fhe hands
and soes of the feet, pierced by innumerabIe lit
tie holes, which are the mouths of set of curious
little organs, which pour out upon its surface an
unctuous or oily fluid, which lUbricates it, and
renders it soft and shining.
The greatest quantity of this oily matter IS
poured upon the skin i'll warm weather, and gives
decidedly greasy feeling, especially the face:
and If water be sprnkled Oh any par. of the skin,
1t will be seen TO stand IN large drops, instead of
spreading equally paper or dry linen. I'm
less removed from the surface from time to TING.
it accumulates and causes light dust TO adherefo
II; and if long neglected, obstructs its heal lEhy
function. If the pores of the skin be stoppe3 up,
the" corporations of digestion be impaired
acridity and corruption of the skin must tensue,
running its surface and laying the found ston for
acute diseases
One great object is to keep the pctes of the
skin open for cleanliness, and to give it tone by
bathing and gentle friction. 1t is a good plan
ty of perser-to pass wet sponge over the whole
surface of the body every morning, commencing
with tepid water, and adopting cold water as
soon as 1t can be borne theutthe body be thor
oughly dried with soft tows:l, and rubbed with
a soft flesh brush The habit will not only beau
ify the skin, and give it fine transparency, but
it will be found most effectual means Of guard
ing against colds, and other Interruptions of the
system.

GOLDIN OHIO.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of the 9th inst,
publishes letter from Brown county, Ohio,
from which we extract the following
Much has been said and written in regard
to the Pixies Peak gold mines, and great
has been the rush to them within the last
year by those in search of the "precous
stuff" But, although the fact is not exten.
sively known, we have larger deposits Of
gold in our own county, which are now be-
ing worked SUCCESSFULLY by experienced
miners, who are realizing from twenty to
twenty-five dollars per day each, and who
thinks that when spring opens they will be
able to realize much more. They are now
working with washers in the creek and
gulch, leading from the hills into the creeks.
The gold is principally found in what is
called Bear Blossom Creek, Gold Creek, Salt
Creeh and Owl Creek. Small quantities
are found in the neighborhood of Little
Blue and Greasy creeks, but not enough to
Justify. The men who are now engaged in
washing are returned miners from California,
who assert that the gold found here is of a
much finer quality than is found in Califor
MIA. Specimens have been sent to Indian
apolis and Madison, and have sold at the
rate of $22 per ounce. A farmer living in
the neighborhood Of the gold regions found
in small creek on his farm, on last Sab.
bath, solid lump weighing four ounces.
Preparations are being made to work in the
diggings on more extensive scale as soon
as the weather will admit. One company
is formed who have bought large tract Of
land, and will invest about five thousand
dollars in machinery as an experiment
they will be ready to commence operations
early in the season.
Lands in the neighborhood of the riches
diggings, which have heretofore been con
sidered of but little value for farming pur
poses, and have rated at prices ranging from
three to FIVE dollars, are now rated at fort,
and fifty dollars per acre.
Great excitement now prevails all owe
this and the adjoining counties, and we an
ticipate great rush for our mines at tn
opening Of spring.
