Some Of the Democracy want a new ticket.
How can their wish be Satisfied? The shortest
way is for Seymour and Blair toput their heads
together and resign in favor Of Grant and Col
fax. This will throw both parties together,
and, in division Of the spoils, will bring about
such q confusion OF parties at Washington as
to be followed speedily by reconstruction OF
parties out and out. It will come to this at
last, but Seymour and Blair mar begin the
work now. Isit not probable that for Grant
and Colfax this Democratic electoral ticket
would get more votes than the Radical electo-
raj ticket, and thus, after all, elect the next
Presidens? Does not this idea suggest bril-
liant flank movement? As military man,

The New York Times calls the attention Of
the Episcopal Convention now in session il
that city to the fact that the Pope has just ad-
dressed an encyclical letter to the schismatio
Bishops of the Eastern Church, assuring them
that his soicitude extends to all Christian
communions which receive baptism, and that
he considersi his duty to reunite to the Holy
See an the churches which have gone out Of it.
He refers to his conYo cation of an Ecumenical
Synod in December, 1869, aud conjures them
to take part in its deliberations, as their an
cestors, at the bidding of Gregory K, attended
the second Council OF Lyons, and, by the in7i-
tation OF Eugene ~, the Council of Florence.
The Holy Father concludes with the words Of
the Evangelist, "Rogo Ut omnes- ,n,n sint,
sictI et nos ununa Sunsus." It seems, says the
Times, that the great Council viii not only be
thrown open to the schismatic Eastern Bish-
ops, but a letter from Rome assures us that
the Pope has now determined to accord the
same privileges to the Bishops Of the Episco-
pal Church of England. Now, would it not be
proper for the American Episcopal Conven-
ton, while it is in session, to give some au-
thoritative utterance as to the course they
will pursue in case the Hcly Father should
send them an invitation to the Gcumenical

The latest process for making women
''sbeautisul forever" is that invented by Madame
:Maniquet, of Paris. An ointment, the secret OF
which is known only to the inventor, is spread
upon stiff linen, which is applied all over the
face and takes the shape, forming mask ad-
justed to the features. This mask remains on
until the skin rises in thick postules. 1t is
thon withdrawn and certain salve rubbed over
the face, when the patient must remain entirely
motionless, not being permittedto speak, laugh
or cry during the formation of the new skin,
which operation generally takes about week
to accomplish. This new skin is soft and ten
der as that Of an infant, delicate in the ex-
treme, and must be maintained by the daily
spse Of the softening compound manufactured
