A Young Lady returning to her country
home, after sojourn of a few months in the
City, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place of the coarse, rustic, flushed face, she
had soft ruby complexion of almost marble
smoothness, and instead of twenty-three she
really appeared but eighteen. Upon inquiry
as to the cause of SO great change, she plain
ly told them that she used the CircassIan
Balm, and considered it an invaluable ac-
QUESTION to any Lady's toilet. By It's use any
Lady or Gentleman can improve their per-

1T would seem from our dispatches
this morning that Secretary Stanton
has made up his mind that he will not
accept the Presidents request to resign.
The following correspondence, not
given in orr dispatches, is said 10 have
passed between them:
MIR. JOHNSON TO MR.. STANTON.
AUGUST 8.
Considerations of public interest will
persuade me to accept your resignation,
If rendered.
MIR. STANTON TO MR.. JOHNSON.
AUGUST 6.
Considerations of public interest have
prevailed with me to hold this office
for months past, and considerations OF
public interest will prevail with me to
hold it till the assembling OF Congress-
We cannot say that we really admire
the position assumed by Mr.. Stanton.
There is but one consideration on
which it is at all defensible, and that is,
a conscientious belief on his part that
The necessities OF the situation demand
II sacrifice of private feeling. AS gen
eral proposition, the Executive is entl-
tied to have around him, as his intimate
counsellors, men who are at least not
aggressively at variance with his policy.
Mr.. Stanton may feel that he can not
safely surrender the War Office into the
hands of Presidential tool. We should
hope his mind is very clear on that
point, and that his decision will be
fully borne out by the facts when they
come to be known. That much will be
due to his historical reputation if not
his immediate future. characterization
at the fountain head of the
army, in the person of the war minis
ter. is a somewhat dangerous prece-
dent, It does not develop trait that
is wholly attractive in an aspirant for
the Presidential succession. In fact, 1t
is somewhat suggestive OF apprehen-
sions as to what might happen in some
unforeseen contingency. However, for
the time being, and until adverse facts
come out, the people will back up Stan
ton. He has too deep hold upon their
feelings TO lose prestige at the hands OF
Andrew Johnson without hearing.

THE Register yesterday made fresh
raid on General Harris, or "Mr. L. M.
Harris, of Richie county," as it calls
him, the occasion being his lately dis
closed refusal to unite in recommend
ing Mrs. Surratt to the mercy of the
President. 1t seems from the Register
that while that "remorseless barbara
General Hunter, "af1xed his sig
nature to the recommendation" "Mr.
t. NJ. Harris, of Richie county," could
.snot be induced to abandon his muir
derous intent" but like terrible hyena,
or ghouI, or vampire, or something of
that sort, was bent on blood.
But how about the President2 He is
charged with the utmost circumstan-
TALLY, in open court, and before the
world, that the recommendation of
General Hunter and others was before
him when he signed Mrs. Surratts
death warrant. And even If it were
not before him, what is to be said of his
neglect to renew the evidence and find
ings in her case, and to commute her
sentence, if, as the Register would have
It appear, she ought not 10 haNe oeeh

We submit that General Harris is not
legitimately the game for the editor of
the Register to pluck at so necessarily
in the Surratt, matter. Why not shoot
higher and hit the man who held the
issue of life and death in his hands?
There is, and has been, a partizanship
about the EDITORS references to that case
from the outset, that evinces consider
able malice and stupidity. The Presi-
dent was, as Brick Pomeroy might say,
"the heavy dog" in that scrape. Why
then slight him in such marked man.
ner? Is it really more important in the
eye of the Register to localize the Sur
raft business, than to develope the af-
fair on its general merits?

VIZ are glad TO know that the Library

WE are glad 10 know that the Library
Association, through its President and
Secretary, are laboring zealonsly on be-
half of the interests of that institution.
We published yesterday morning list
of delinquent stock that will be offered
for sale on the 5th of October next. We
trust that this stock, If not paid up by
its original owners, will find willing
purchasers among such of our citizens
as do not already own share in the
Library. Some of the parties published
as delinquents will, we trust, pay up
their instalments before the day OF sale
arrives. Thus far the institution has
had considerable of struggle for its
existence, but its friends are gratitled
to believe that ithas "passed the Rubl-
con-" and that its future is reasonably
we'll assured. Among the steps already
taken this season to contribute to and
strengthen its prosperity, is the invita-
ton of prominent lecturers for the
coming fall and winter months. The
engagement of Murdoch was SO much
of a pecuniniary success that the
directors are encouraged to hope
that, by judicious invitations, they
can establish series of first class in
tellectual entertainments. 1t is expect
ed that Mr.. Murdoch will be with us
again during the course. and that, In
addition, George Francis Train, Horace
Greeley, Miles o'Reilley, Henry Ward
Bsecher, and Miss Anna Dickinson
and others, will respond favorably to
invitations.
During the coming season the Libra
nv Association will have the important
facilities of the Street Railway in its IA
vor. People will be able to reach the
Hall from the upper and lower parts OF
the city, whatever may be the state OF
the weather. Heretofore nearly all
classes of entertainments have felt the
great want of such facilities. If the
evening was rainy or otherwise disa-
greeable, the attendance was generally
limited. This drawback is now hap
piiy remedied, and we LOOK forward to
the coming season with brighter expec-
tations on behalf of the Library.
