Morals Of Radical Law-Givers.

Congress, in 1865. enacted law by
which the power to appoint Assistant
Revenue Collectors was vested in the DIS.
trict Assessors. The President deemed
this act unconstitutional and advised
with Attorney General Speed. who con-
cured with His Excellency. The void
enactment was therefore disregarded.
These facts constitute an exact precedent
in the case now on trial at Washington
WHY was not the President impeached in
1862 Then be defed law, absolutely
annulling il in practice; now, ,forsooth, the
presidential election is at hand, Radical
ism must needs have control Of the treas
ury. and because the President, in dealing
with Stanton, only proposed to bring the
disputed right 10 remove an appointed
before the courts, he must, at this juno
ture, be expelled from Office. The unre-
sisted removal and appointment OF Assis-
tant District Assessors, then acquiesced
in By Congress, shows how. criminal We
may deem the pending impeachment pro

cal masters, partisan exigencies deter.

AN HONEST GHOST.
From the Cincinnati Commercially

From the Cincinnati Commercial.l
The people of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
are or we're in recent possession of gen
une ghost-a ghost that doesn't require
darkness and the dead night, but day.
light ghost that has been shot at, spoken
to, and that has spoken; ghost that has
beeneworn and certified to by a number
of people as the ghost of DR.. Jewel, dead
past doubt, and buried, who was once the
owner and builder Of the Winsow House,
which house, before dying, he declared
il to be his intention to revisit, and which
he has revisited. -
We have mislaid the first account of
his appearance, but can give the sub
stance. After DR.. Jewel died. the house
was taken by Rev. Prof F. E. McBain,
whose daughter, while engaged in some
domestic affairs, saw strange and mys-
terious man fitting about the passages
and rooms, and reported the circum-
stance to her father Thinking it was
robber, the Professor loaded his pistols,
and distributed them to the household
with instructions to shoot the intruder II
seen there again. A day or two after
the daughter encountered the same appa-
rition and fred. The shot seems to
have taken effect, for the apparition
doubled up in a sort Of agony, and look
ing at the girl in half reproachful and
imploring way, disappeared or seemed to
fall through a gangway into the cellar.
The shot brought out the whole house
bold. who found the girl half frightened
out of her wits at the thought of having
killed a man. A light was struck and
the cellar explored, but no body was
found. While searching everywhere, the
Professor himself encountered the
strange figure, but il disappeared mys-
teriously. The affair got out and hun
dreds aoeked TO the house TO see the
ghost. and some we're fortunate enough
10 hear strange sounds and see the
strange sight
This brings us down to the particulars
Of a secondhand the ghost promised
fnal-appearasce which is signed and
sworn to by Professor McBain, i. Hubert,
and Samuel Secord. Secord is an en-
thusiastic spirit1alist" and bad come

The Bleom of Beauty.


"Aunt Dora," in the Peoples Mag
azine, gives good advice to young
ladies' . . g.
What is best to preserve the bloom
OF the complexion? Cold irater; the
purer, the colder, the softer the bet
ter. Many young ladies fancy that
water in any shape is bad for the COM
plexion; and so between their native
sense of cleanliness, and their great
anxiety to preserve the beauty of
their skins, they are sorely puzzled !;
and have seen the triumphs of the
latter notion-in very slight but
palpable enamel of not quite invisi-
ble-dirt-faugh! No beauty can be
maintained tor any length Of time
without health and / leave you to
your naturally shrewd sense to deter
mine whether dirtln any shape can
be either healthy or attractive.
No woman on record ever preserved
her bloom longer than the famous, or
infamous Diane de Poitiers; and the
chief secret of it was--a copious and
thorough ablutlon in cold water night
and morning all through the year,
with friction afterward. Nothing, l
repeat, is better either for the skin,
the eyes, or the general health than a
good wash in cold, water after the
fatigues of the day. In bitterly cold
weather the icy coldness may be ia
ken off, but warm water is a mistake,
especially in cold weather.
If the skin be dry and inclined to
chapin cold or windy weather it is very
easy to apply little cold cream. well
rubbed into the skin sitter the nightly
washing orif those unsightly things,
pimples, should appear under the
skin, I know of no more efficacious
remedy than a little eau de Cologne
and water to batne them, in the pro-
portion Of teaspoonful of the spirit
to a wineglass of water. But q pro-
pos of pimples they depend much
on the general health: and the young
lady who maintains simple and reg
ular diet, takes regular exercise,
keeps regular hours, and totally es-I
chews tight lacing, is seldom or never
afflicted thereby.
Only fancy the Misses Dashington.
They had notion that pale, sickly
languor was the thing; and how do
you think they tried to acquire this
peculiar charm? Why, by drinking
vinegar and chewing raw rice! OF
course they became pale, hollow-eyed,
and miserably thin. This possibly
was the end they had in view but
hardly imagine that they desired to
look sallow, shriveled, and prema-
turely old, which was, however, the
natural result at last.
Then, again, how many girls fall
victims to tight lacing. Little dol
they think, poor silly little things,
that veiny hands, red noses, and
blotchy faces are the unmistkaablel
Oh, how dearly is such
folly paid for! And then after all,
who can admire a waist like a wasp n
1t is only a deformity, like the totter-
ing tiny feet of a Chinese beauty.
