,EEA Young Lady returning to her
country home, after sojourn Of . few
months in the City, was hardly recognised
BY her friends. In place Of a course, rus
tic, flushed face, she had softruby COM
plexion Of almost marble smoothness, and
instead Of twenty.three she really appeared
bnt eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the
cause Of so great q change, she plainly told
them that she used the Circassian Balm
and considered it an invaluable acquisition
to any Lady's toilet. By itsuse any Lady
or Gentleman can improve, their personal
appearance an hundred fold. It is simple
in it's combination, as Nature herself is
simple. vet unsurpassed in its efficacy in
drawing impurities from, also healing
cleansing and identifying the skin and
complexion. By it's direct action on the
cuticle it draws from 1t all it's impurities
kindly healing the same, and leaving the
surface as Nature intended it should be
clear, soft, smooth and beautiful. Price VI

The Lieutenant Goyernorship.

The Republican State Central
Com mittee of Ohio met at Columbus
ON Wednesday, and nominated Gen.
JOHN G. LEE, of Seneca County, for
Lieutenant Governor. The choice is
ss good one. Gen, LEE won an hon
orable reputation during the war, as
Colonel of the s55th Infantry Regi-
ment, and especially distinguished
himself at Charlottesville. The az
ton of the Committee was remarka-
bly, unanimous, ten votes out of thir-
teen being cast for Gen. LEE on the
first ballot. Their action will meet
the hearty approval of loyal men
throughout the State.

Over Jealous.

At the fair of the Tobacco Trade
of this city, yesterday, Col. Baker,
President of the Kentucky Agricul-
tural Society, was one of the speakers.
He is, evidently an ardent admirer Of
the weed, and certainly n of its
most original as well as enthusiastic
champions. If he is correct, to re-
frain from chewing or smoking il, not
only an unnecessary abstinence, but
a positive sin. No man has a right
to avoid a practice which makes him
a more agreeable companion, a more
active business man. and a better
Christian. AL these ends can be at
tanned, says the Colonel, through
nicotine. It may be death to cats,
but it is both meat and morals to
men. No one will deny that those
who have once passed the trying
stomachic ordeal of breaking in, de-
rive much benefit from Che cigar or
quidsand it is not improbable that a
moderate employment Of the mar
cotic may be useful some over
taxed brains; but to exalt it into a
panacea is an original conception of
the Colonel's.-Cfn. Gaz., 7harsdag.

five persuasive whites and three
colored-to represent the district in
the State Constitutional Convention.
The two whites are JOHN CALDWELL,
an old citizen of Columbia, a man of
wealth and position, long known as
the President of the South Carolina
Railroad, and extensively identified
with the finance and material inter
ests of that State and the South
generally; and G. III. BALDWIN, a
merchant originally from the North,

years. Both these men were strong
Union men throughout the war. The

A correspondent of the Charleston
HerrAry is giving a report of his ex-
periences and observations while
making a tour IN the North. He
thus speaks of what he heard and
said among the Democrats of Con-
necticut:
The Democrats endorse Governor
Perry's no convention policy. They
say the South seeded without cause,
but now has its abundant cause for
revolution, and ought not, by any
ac~quiescence, to virtually endorse the
Radical measures. They bitterly de-
nounce the military governments COW
ruling with despoticpswayF overs once
proud and sovereign States, and are
especially severe upon hat hyper
excessive negrophilism which gives
everything to gentlemen of color and
practically maintains that white is
no color at all-at all, sog s~ldsnosass z
To all this we had but one reply:
Gentlemen, it may do uery weU for yoa
to taM Of r~eUOltioh.s but soe haze had
enough Of 1T. We have not the DOW
er.. if we had the desire, to repeat any
such experiment. Our policy and our
desire is peace, and the arts of peace
we would cultivate. IF there is to be
any more revolution, you must kick it
up mong yourselves. The man who.
has his hand in the lions mouth, if a
sensible man, will do nothing to irri-
tate the animal. If military govern
ments are obnoxious, we can be re-
lieved of their presence only by the
restoration of civil rule; this can only
be. effected by our return to the
Union, and for this there is Jut one
road open-all others lead ~estray.'"

Resolutions have been presented in
the New York Constitutional Conyen-
|tion, now in session, in favor of a
Constitutional requirement that the
Legislature shaft PASS a general act of
incorporation prescribing a-form of
|government in every city in the State
having a population of 10000 or over,
vesting all the authority in the quail
fed voters themselves, through a
Mayor and n or more legislative
bodies to be elected annually. The
arguments in support of this provision
are that, it is a fundamental principle
of a Republican Government to re-
NIT local affairs to local regulation,
otherwise there is no liberty, and also
that, if all the people of a State claim
a right to administer the local affairs
of a city then all the people ought to
share in the payment of such city's
expenses and taxes.

THE New Orleans Republican
which paper has not been friendly to
General SHERIDAN for some TIME past,
speaks as follows of his recent letter
to General GRANT:
We doubt if there is a loyal man
in Louisiana. who on reading General
Sheridan's dispatch to General Grant,
to be found in another column, will
not in his heart, and with his voice,
thank God that we have a commander
who thoroughly understands this De-
partment. and who appreciates at its
full value an u~nrepentant rebels oath.
In one sentence General Sheridan has
answered Attorney General Stan
bury's columns of legal lore, and CON
densed whole pages of editorial
reasoning in behalf of a July session
of Congress-" +b7

Grant and the Presidency.

The Atlanta New Era, the repre-
sentative of the views of ex-Govern-
or Brown, in Georgia, has come out
for Gen. GRANT for President, and
n of the reasons it offers is that
Gen. GRANT will have no friends
to reward. and no enemies to punish"
1t believes that his record will carry
him unanimously into the Presiden-
tial office" The Net0 Era says:
Elected and supported by the
people, independently of the usual
intrigues of interested politicians,
and responsible directly to the people,
General Grant would be free
to select the soundest statesmen
and truest patriots for his constitu-
tional advisers, without regard to the
section whence they come, or past po-
litical associations. Comprisingein
the comprehensive sweep of his policy
the entire country, from the st. Law
renee and the Lakes to the Gulf and
the Rio Grande, and from the Allan
tic TO the Pacific, the good of the
whole will be his object; and it may
reasonably be anticipated that all of
its members will be tremendously re-
united on his accession to power.
Then the country, emerging from its
present gloom and dependency, with
augmented strength and confidence
derived from a firmly cemented
Union, will move irresistably forward
on its mission of good to the nations,
and its position as the first power in
the world"

lately, that which prohibits the Prasi-

this is constitutions, c and Stherehis
some doubt whether the Senate win

the real fight between the i~mpeachers
