DESCRIPTION OF A PANAMA BEAUTY.-A COR.
respondent writing from Panama says Some
OF the women are remarkably handsome and
graceful. About nine o'clock in the morning,
when the rays of the sun were getting to be
powerful, dropped into a house, which was
visible through the verdure, to get a cup of
cold water. The heads of the family had no
doubt gone into the forests to pick fruits. for
no one was at home but a young Indian
maiden, who started up like startled favn
at my appearance, and might have fed, if I
had not been stationed in the doorway. Form
ing my hand into the shape of drinking cup,
and eievating 1t to my mouth, made know
my wants She was Immediately reassured,
and led the way to a shady grotto, in the rear
OF the dwelling, where a crystal mountain
spring burst forth from the rifted rock, while
followed, In speechless admiration of the
vision OF loyeliness which foated before me.
She was attired In a loose dress of the purest
white, adown which her luxuriant hair, plated
in broad, nat plaits, hung to an almost incred-
ible length. Her complexion was a soft-tinted
olive good, rich color, but yet 30 delicate
withal that the slightest emotion was sufficient
to send the crimson to her cheeks. Zach
rounded arm was inclosed by a curiously-
shaped and costly bracelet, and in her ears
were estrangely-fashioned pendants, somewhat
In form OF crescent. Her forehead was ex-
quisitely chiseled, and her features almost
Grecian in their contour. But, how shall I
ever describe those glorious, dreamy eyes,
their fathomless depths of liquid blue, or those
long, dropping lashes, when ever and anon
came softly down, like silken curtains.

AN INJURIOUS FFRrILIzER.-Very severe
prohibitions have been issued in France, Eng
land, and Germany, against the use of poudrette
imperfectly prepared, il having been proven
by careful experiments that the focal matter
Of sinks cannot be converted with safety into
garden manure under ave years careful prep
aration. -
PestilentiaI and other diseases are prouaeated
by vegetables grown in soil thus MANFRED.
Yet, it is stated that these death dispensing
deposits are absolutely used in the market
gardens around our large American cities in
their natural state, and many of the fruits and
vegetables 90 grown can be told by the nostriIs
or the taste before they are cooked, and in the
process of cooking.
IL Is the opinion Of skillful medical observers
that nearly all the novel diseases which now
afhict many American cities, owe their origin
to the. organic diseased matter taken up by
vegetables and fruits grown in soil dressed by
focal matter Of sinks, and transferred TO the
stomach. Galioping consumption in persons
whose families have never been subject to this
terrible disease have been traced TO the use of
vegetables grown BY poudrette. This is only
one instance out Of thousand.

FIRST BABIEs.-There is an extensive fund
OF strong, W holesome common-sense Ia most nm
common possession by the way J in the follow
ing plain paragraph frem the Springfield Re-
publican, and parents may save themselves
and their offspring much unnecessary suffering
by taking to heart its excellent suggestions:
"a somewhat extended observation, and a
solitary experience, have convinced us that
first babies have hard time. Parents must
have two or three children before thew know
what baby is, know how to treat IL, and ac-
quire patience to treat it properly. The Door
little fellows that have the misfortune 10 come
along hrst, have to educate parents to their
task, and In the process they get spanked, and
shaken, and abused. After a man has three
or four children, he learns that whipping or
striking child less than two years Of age is
bsrbarism. We know one ''paternaI headr
who struck his first child when only six weeks
old, the ass actually believing that the child
knew better than TO cry, and that he stopped
crying at that particular time because he
struck him We carry certain notions of chill
dren and OF family government into married
life, and the first child is always the victim of
these notions And not alone Of these. for the
parents have not learned seIf-control, and a
baby is whipped quite as often because the
parent Is impatient or angry, as because il is
vicious or intractable. We iniict on our frst
children the foggings we ought to have for our
own impatience or fretfulness This pounding
children before they become, in Gods ave-
morally responsible beings, is yery strange
business Patience, good people-1nwearine
patience. Don't wait to learn il until one Of
your little ones shall be hidden under the
daisies

TIE BoUND-BRooK IN. J.) TRAGEDY-Efect
of Playing on a Weak InteIkect.-At the in
quest on the body of Coe Lewis, who killed his
wife and then committed suicide, at Chimney
Rock, Bound Brook, Somerset county, some
thirty witnesses were examined, all of whom
seemed to concur in the fact that Lewis was
exceedingly jealous Of his wife, and for some
time had been very miserable on account of
III. LeW1s was man of rather weak mind,
and certain persons thought it very pleasant
to excite his jealousy. One witness testified
that few days since a number of men were
together, and agreed among themselves to
tesze Lewis, who was in the company. They
sent one OF their number to the barn, and
then, in the hearing of Lewis, commenced ask
ing each other what had become of this man,
OF whom 1t was known that Lewis was Jealous
probably not without cause. The reply was
that he had gone to call on Lewis wife As
soon as Lewis heard this he rushed from the
room and ran home like one crazy. The cru
city OF this and similar conduct towards a
weak minded man is severely censured by all
Mrs. Donnelly testified that a few DAYS ago
Lewis called at her house and told her that
ne was In trouble; that he suspected his wife
with the man above alluded to, and that it
made him so miserable he had that day been
out in the woods with a rope to hang himself
but had changed his mind" He said also that
he could not stand it much longer; that he
would certainly destroy himself. but that if he
did so, his wife should go first" Size testified
also that she had informed Lewis wife of her
husbands threat, and advised her to leave
him but she replied that she was not afraid
OF hlm-that she could trust him No definite
opinion can be formed as to the manner in
which the crime was committed, whether acci.
dental or intentional. Some suppose that
Lewis killed her when he went up in the
morning to call her. but the more probable
opinion is that they had quarrel in the night,
arising from his jealousy, and that in his rage
which was stimulated by half intoxic aied
condition, he choked her, but was una-ares
that he had deprived her of life On discover.
ing this in the morning, he was driven to com.
NIT suicide.
