Character Of Chase.


/ We learn from q gentleman of this
city, whU has passed many years at
Washington, and who has had the best
possible means of knowing the truth Of
what he afirms, that in 1854, after Mr.
Chase, then Secretary Of the Treasury,
had plotted unsueoessfully TO secure
the Republican nomination at Balti-
more, over Mr. Lincoln, he entered
into secret negotiations with certain
Democratic politicians Of New York
and Washington with a view to secure
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency, at Chicago, in the place of
Mcclellan.
4 1t seems absolutely incredible that
10 the midst Of a war for the mainten-
ance of the Union, one Of the confden-
till advisers Of the President Of the
United States, should seek to become
the candidate of the party opposing
the war, and seek afhliation with the
worst enemies Of the Republic. And
yet We have the most positive assur-
anoe that such is the fact, and that
documentary evidence exists that win
establish Chase's apostacy and treach-
cry beyond a shadow of doubt Such
is the character Of the man who is
now on his knees pleading for a nom
ination By the Forrest Vallandigham
party at New Columbus Jour
nal.

Radical Austria


The Pope and the Emperor Of Austria
are az lpggerheads about certain im-
portunt reforms which the letter has in-
augurated and which are thus briefly
stated by the N. X. Independent

ment, the , sons 70 follow the faith Of the
father and the daughters OF the mother. d.
And at fourteen years Of age they muy
choose their own form Of faith. without
molestation or question. And, what is
perhaps the most radical change Of all,
no one is to be- forced 10 suppOrt any re-
hglous establishment to which he does
not belOng-thus leading the way iu the
advance even Of England. The Catho-
lie clergy are forbidden to prevent iu-

Valuable Information for Those
Who Would be Beautiful.
NIoUrH ANp 1Ips.

It does not matter, so far as appear
ance is concerned, what shape the male
mouth may have, as with the present
style of wearing full mustache and
beard but little of it can be seen. In
the smooth face of woman, however,
the form of the mouth has a great deal
to do with its beauty or ugliness. Ac-
cording to our Caucasian notion it
should be small, regular, dry, sweet
and in laughing or speaking not to
show more than half of the length of
the four or five upper teeth.
The standard of taste in regard to the
lips varies in diffe rent nations. The
lips should be neither very thin or full,
and form when the mouth is closed an
Obtuse angle at each corner and in the
center. Their color ought to be of a
lively red. The lower Lip should rise q
little, and the upper be marked with a
we'll defined dimple of a roseate hue.
Sometimes touching the lips lightly,
on going to bed with Il little fresh and
perfectly pure glycerine will be all that
is requisite.
THE TEETH AND GUMS.
Rousseau said that no woman with
fine teeth could be ugly. Any female
mouth, almost, with good set of ivor-
les, is kissa BILE. The too early loss of
the first teeth has an unfavorable infiu-
ence upon the beauty and duration of the
second. The youngest children should
accordingly be made to take care of
them. All that is necessary is to brush
them several times day with little
ordinary soap or InagneSia and water.
Grown people should clean their teeth
at least five times in the course of the
twenty-four hours, on rising in the
morning, and going to bed at night,
and after each meal. A brush as hard
as can be borne without pain should be
used, and the best of all applications is
| pure soap and water, always lulkewarm.
After eating all particles offood should
| be carefully removed from the teeth by
means Of a tOoth-pick of quill or wood,
| but never of metal, and by q thread
passed now and then between tho
/ teeth.
Tooth powders Of all kinds are injur-
ious both to the enamel and the gums,
and if employed every particle Of them
should be removed from the mouth by
careful rinsing. The habit which some
women have of using a bit of lemon,
! though it may whiten the teeth and
| give temporary frmness and color to
\ the gums, is fatal to the enamel, as are all
! acids. No one, young or Old should
/ turn their jaws into nut-craclSers and
| 1t is dangerous even for woman to bite
| of, as they often do the ends of the
/ thread in sewing. 1t is not safe to bring

Laying Rail Tracks By Machinery
FROM the sap Francisco isAlta california.

From the San Francisco FA1ta California.
The railroad traek-Iayer is an in
dubitable and decided success. Tt is
now working along regularly at the
rate Of mile day, and Will do better
when several small defects are REM
edied. Some of its work has been done
at the rate of two miles in twelve hours
but one mile is considered its present
working capacity. The contractor and
directors of the Vallejo q Sacramento
Railroad, although most Of them were
skeptical, and some quite dissatisfied
about the delays in getting it into oper-
alton, give il the highest praise, and
have made their arrangements in re-
lance upon it. The machine is a car
sixty feet long and ten feet wide.
It has small engine on board for
handling the ties and rails. The
ties are carried on a common
freight car behind, and conveyed by an
endless chain over the top Of the ma.
chine, laid down in their places on the
track, and when enough are laid a rail
is put down on each side in a proper
position and spiked down. The track
iayer then advances, and keeps on its
work until theload of ties and rails is
exhausted, when other car loads are
brought. The machine Is driven ahead
by LOCOMOTIVES, and the work is done
so rapidly that sixty men are required
to wait on it, but they do more work
than twice as many could do by the old
system, and the work Is done quite as
well. The chief contractor Of the road
gives 1t as his opinion that when the
machine is improved by making a few
changes in the method of handling
rails and ties, the necessity Of which
changes is now apparent, is will be able
to put down five or six miles per day
unquesGionably. This will render It
possible to lay down track twelve times
as fast as the usual rate by hand, and
it will do the work at less expense,

How Much it Cost.

about one per cent Every holder of

months interest on his money by this
