gy@ A YouNa LADY returning to her country home, after soujourn of a few months in the City, was hardly recognized by her friends. In place of a course, rustic flushed face, she had a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth ness, and instead of twenty-three she really ap peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great change, she plainly told them that she used Ciroassian Balm, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady's toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentle man can improve their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in It's combination, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in it's efficacy in drawing impurities from, also healing, cle snsing and beautifyipg the skin and complexion. By it's direct action on the cuticnle it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving the sur face as Nature intended it should be, clear soft, smooth and beautiful.

Hs~ Senator Dixon has got himself into an extremely tight place by denying in the Senate, that he was ever initiated into the Know-Nothing Order. The Couram offers witnesses who were present at his initiation, and has on exhibition at its office the rol of members of Know Nothing Council, ir which MT. Dixon's name appears in his own handwriting. The Sentine! asserts that the only cause of the general detestation with which Senator Dixon is regarded by the party which elected him to the Senate, is because he is a gentleman. Was he any the less gentleman when we elected him in 1862 Does he now deserve the respect oi any honorable man

Book Notices,

THE DIAMOND DICKENS. The second of this series, "Our Mutual Friend," is excellently illustrated, better it seems to Us than the Pickwick This novel is the best of Dickens late works Of the plot, or rather plots, We cannot speak very favorab]y The chief hero of the book is a gentleman who is left large property on condition of his marrying certain young girl. She is bright, beautiful, spoiled creature, whose education and condition ill life are such that he justly fears she may accept him for the sake of bis fortune. He therefore, causes himself to be reported murdered, and under an assumed name un- dertakes the difficult task of winning his proposed wife on his personal merits alone. She was mercenary on principle, but warm hearted, excellent girl, by nature, and his struggle is an arduous, but finally sue cessful one. Although there are many ex- aggerations and incongruities, such as we find extremely annoying, in most of Dick ens' serious characters, ,-perhaps, in nature too-Bella Wilfer is certainly very love- able young lady, and Mr. John Harmon de- serves congratulation on his luck matrimo- nial as we'll as pecuniary. To John liar mon himself, we are not strongly attached; there is an uncertainty that hangs over his nature, as we'll as over his name, and on &C., quaintance we do not get fond of him as we do of Bella He is the least Aumuus charac- ter in the book.
 The subordinate love plot, and one entirely distinct from the foregoing, is be tween briefess young barrister and a beautiful girl in the very lowest grade of life. Without shadow of wicked purpose, he drifts along, eagerly seeking her so- ciety, destroying her peace of mind, and en- dangering her reputation, in way pecu- liarly masculine and selfish ; while she, with a heart full of affection and admiration, hides herself away from him, in way pc culiary feminine and unselfsh. They final ly marry a consummation very pleasant, indeed, but one which every sensible reader must, nevertheless, feel to be contrary to the usual course of nature.
 The book contains the usual allowance of monstrosities, caricatures, and faithful sketches from real life SO queerly mixed up in Dickens writings. The good natur- ed vulgarity of the Bofins, the pretentious vulgarity of the Veneerings, the fash ionable scampishness of the Lammles, and numerous characteristic secondary parts, are sketched with Mir. Dickens usual power, and deserve mention we have not the space to give them.
 OUR NEW STATES AND TERRITORIES, by Albert D. Richardson, has just been pub lshed by Beadle & Co.,, l!8 William St., New York. This little volume of about 100 pages, is very readable account of travels in the country which lies between the Pa cifc and Atlantic States. It contains nu- merous illustrations, and gives much valu- able information not easily obtained from other quarters. In style it is light and pleasant, and sketches the rough frontier life outside of civilization with 8 raci- ness and vividness not often excelled.

A Northern. Mans Observation. .

A correspondent of Northern Republican
paper, writing from Charleston, says:
It is very clear to any one who has watched
the political current in this quarter of late,
that the colored men will vote as unit
There is quite large number Of them who
were free before the war, and who hold
themselves partially aloof from the rest
These, to man, announce their determina-
ton to stand by the old white residents in
whatever action they may take. On the
other hand, there is more numerous party,
composed chiefly Of idlers from the planta-
tons, who have found their way into the city,
where they live from hand to mouth, who
are convinced that their release from daily
toll was accomplished by the Radical party
Of the North, and who may therefore be re-
lied upon to vote and act with the men who
represent and are endorsed by that party
But the most numerous class Of all is made
up of sensible freedmen, who are now earn.
ing living by honest labor, who are intel
ligent enough to think for themselves, and
to act as they believe their own interest die
tate. Perhaps if they followed their own i'm
pulse merely, they might initiate the exam
pie of their shiftless and improvident breth-
sen from the country, and give their support
to the Radical candidates. But it must be
borne in mind that these men derive their
subsistence almost entirely from white en-
ployers, and they will take heed how they
put their livelihood in jeopardy, for the sake
Of what, to them, is now mere political abb
straction In view Of these facts | find that
the shrewdest observers here are Of opinion
that either a. majority of the blacks will be
found supporting the whites at the polls, or
that if this should not be the case, the freed
mems vote will be divided SO as to become a
matter Of little comparative Importance. If
this be true in Charleston and along the sea
coast, it's even more SO in the interior, where
the freedmen are less ex posed to the influence
of political agitators. The gatherings of
negroes that have lately taken place. to listen
to harangues from orators, white and black,
were rather tame affairs, having been gotten
up in the interest Of a few would be leaders
Of the co!ored population.

the probability that he would have TO remove
