soft ruby complexion Of almost marble smooth

peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the
cause of so great a change, she plainly told them
that she used the CIRcAss1AN BALM, and con-
slcred it an invaluable acquisition to any lady's
toilet By lis use any lady or gentleman can

in drawing impurities from, also healing, clean

The Backbone.

The Chicago Times has made diseove-
ry. Speaking Of the backbone Of the re-
belliou. it says: We have heard much of
the backbone CT the rebellion. Its back
boue was that covered by black skin
While the planters and those following
their fortunes were fighting, the negroes
were throwing up intrenchments. driving
Confederate commIssary wagons, taking
care of hospitals, and doing the drudgery
of the camp. More than this, they were
raising the food to supply the rebel armies,
and taking care Of the wives and chill dren
of the rebel officers and soldiers. 1t is
nonsense to say that they were doing this
through fear. They did it within the lines
of our armies They did it when desertion
was easy and they were offered The strong
est inducements to desert. Freedom, and
what was to them the extravagans pay Of
soldiers, enormous bounties, and promises
Of homesteads after the close Of the war,
were all offered. and yet ''ths loyal freed
men, adhered to the broken fortunes aud
desperate cause Of their rebel masters.
