A New HORROR The latest horror comes
from France. a shoemaker, living ut la Vi
lette, near Paris, has contrived, with the
perverted ingenuity of a wholly b~estiaI, but,
perhaps, halfcrazad mind, to inAict q entirely
new species Of anguish upon the woman who
YRS miserable enough to be his wife, For a
heightened period he had been 10 tho habit of
beating and otherwise brutally maitreatlng the
unfortunate wretch. The man was a drunkard.
His principal r~eproach against the partner OF
his home Was that she refused him the means
to procure drink and in his endclvor to wiring
his booty from her by torture, he flung her to
the ground, put his knee on her chest, cssayed
to s~trangle her, and then gougcd one Of her
eyes out. He told her deliberately that he
intended there and then to kill himself, and
that she should be spectator of his death and
''shudder at his grimaces." He tied her hand
and foot, gagged her, and opening a knife,
swore that if she dared to stir he would at once
cut her throat. Next he slowly and coolly
proceeded to hang himself to a huge nail which
he had driven into the wall, drinking while he
was making bis preparations nc less than fifteen
glasses OF rum. Then, standing face to face
before the ~pinioned sufferer, he kicked away
the stool beneath him, and was duly strangled,
his victim being compelled, as in a hideous
nightmare, helplessly to witness the conyul-
sions of his limbs and the distortion of his
features. At last the woman contrived to
liberate herself from her bonds, and her shrieks
brought up the neighbors and the police. The
man was dead.

"a Radicatcaucus was held in the Hall of
the House of Representatives yesterday even
ing, says the Baltimore Gazette, to hear the
report of the Executive Committee on the
present condition Of the Southern campaign.
From this report We gather that forty thou:
pand six hundred and seventy three dollars
have been expended in printing political docu-
ments to be used among the blacks at the
South, aud in paying the expenses Of Wilson,
Kelly, and other white and black orators and
agitators. 1t, is further stated by the commit
teeEthatth campaignto promote the ratifca-
ton otSthe several Constitutions to To framed
at the South, will involve the expenditure of
considerable money, and it is suggested that
twenty white and black men be employed in

GEN. SHERMAN AND THE INDIAN COMMIs-
SION We learn Gen. Sherman is expected 10
arrive here during to-day. The Commission
created by act of Congress to treat with the
hostile Indians have an appointment to meet
in this city on Monday next. 1t will be recol-
Iected that Gen. Sherman is 4 member of this
Commission, and his visit is probably in that
connection. 1t is understood that satisfactory
treaties have b:en made with all the disaffcct-
ed TRIES, except those at the extreme North
west.
We learn, also, that the members of the
Commission generally have expressed a decided
opposition to the transfer of the Indian Bureau
to the War Department.
If any change is to be made, they would
probably prefer that the Bureau should be
erected into an independent department, re.
sponsible alone to the President. Nat Int.
DEATH.-We regret to announce the demise
of Rev. James Doughan, which occurred yester-
day morning at his residence on Church street.
Mr.. Doughan was born in lancaster, Pa, on
the 18th of March, 1870, and Was therefore in
his 18th year at the time of his dcccase. Hc
was educated at the Episcopal Theological
Seminary, near Alexandria, and shortly after
his ordination, was sent to preach the gospel to
the heathen people Of Africa. Subsequent to
his return, he had charge Of a church in Mary
land. Mr.. Doughan cane to this city, we be-
lieve, some twenty-eight years ago.
The deceased was a mar of ability and learn
ing, and was possessed Of many amiable traits.

4 Success IN LIFE.-Benjamin Frank
in attributed his success as public
han. not TO his talents or his powers Of
speakine, for these were but moderate,
but to his known integrity Of charac-
Ter. "Hence it was" he saws, " that
i had SO much weight with my fellow
kitizens.-I was but bad speaker, new
pr eloquent, subject to much hesitation
b. nv choice Of words, hardly correct
1n language and yet | generally carried
|hv point" Character creates conf
ence in men liz high station as we'll as
]h human iite.-It was said Of the first
Emperor Alexander Of Russia, that his
PERSONAL character was equivalent to a
.onstitution.-D During the wars Of the
Fronde, Montaigne was the only man
Pmong the French gentry who kept his
fa>tle gates unbarred: and it was said
bf him, that his personal character was
worth more to him than a regiment of
horse
That character is power, is true in a
much higher sense than that knowledge
Is power. Mind without heart, intelli-
Eence without conduct, cleverness with
put goodness, are powers in their way,
put they may be powers only for mis-
Fhief. We may be instructed or amused
by them; hut it is sometimes as difficult
TO admire them as it would be to admire
|he dexterity Of a pickpoket, or the
horsemanship of highwaymen. Truth
illness, integrity, and goodness, quail
les that hang not Oh any mans breath,

Sc Email De Paris.9'
The New Beautifier of the Skin.

TESTIMONIALS FROM CELEBRATED LA.
DIES:
The secret of identifying the skin being known
only to Messrs Jared & Rene, they honestly state
that it differs from all other preparations. 1t
gives to the most harsh and freckled skin both
the color and texture OF polished ivory, removing
all dlscolorations whether appearing as treckles,
tan, morphew, moth or black-worm specks, and
is especially successful in smoothing out the
marks left by Smallpox.
The agents of 'l1Email de Paris' most con-
tidently submit to the public the earnest endorse
ments of such distinguished ladies as
Signora Ristori, M'IIe FeIicita Vestva.
Ii, Miss Maggie Mitchell, Mrs. d. p.
Bowers, Lucille Western, Mad.
PonisI, Mrs. Emma Waller,
Lucy RushtOn, NOemie de
Marguerrittes, Miss
Agnes Perry,
and many others, whose high standing in the
profession gives the stamp of truthfulness to
their intelligent and genuine approval.
The Beautiful Lucille Western says:-
l find that the ' Email" produces all the bril-
liancy OF rouge and llly-white, with the great
and peculiar advantages of perfect harmlessness
1t really adds to the softness and beauty of the
skin.
The Magnificent Vcstvali says -
have suffered so much from the various white
lotions &C.. which my theatrical profession OBJ
iges me to use, that l consider it perfect bene-
faction to find preparation which gives the ne
cessary whteness to the skin, and leaves the skin
cool and smooth.
Miss Maggie Mitchell says
l have tried the skin beautificr "L'Email de
Paris" and found that it instantly imparts a
natural bloom and freshness to the complexion.
"Jared Email de Paris is used as a delicate
beautitier Of the skin for Theatre Saloon or Ball
Room, by the most refined and scrupulOus ladies;
producing all the identifying effects of rouge and

the skin.
