Mrs. X. J, spaulding's Caucasian Balm is
warranted free from MI mineral and poisonous
substances, or any matter injurious to the skin.
After using it for short time, It will leave the
skin soft, satin Ike texture, imparting to it Il
freshness, smootbncss, and transparency that can
only be produced by the use Of this invaluable
Balm. 1t presents no vulgar white lead as all
other compounds do, but on the contrary it will
give the complexion pearl-like tint, such as
can only be found in youth. Its use cannot be
detected by tho closest observer. II is also in
valuable for removing all kinds Of HumOrs, Tan,
Moth Frcckles, Sunbarns and other cutaneous
diseases from tho skin. Mrs. X. j. Spauldng
has every confidence in recommending her eau

in he South.-ln conversation with q
friend who saw him recently in Philadel-
phia-so correspondent, of The Herald
slsies-Mr. Stephens took very despon.
dent vie " Of affairs in the South. He
pronounced the future before that section
OF the country fraught with gloom and d.
sasier. and could see nothing in the policy
Of reconstruction but the operation of a
fearful scheme. whose ultimate result will
be the destruction Of either the black or
the white race. Every day. he says, it
becomes more painfully eviden, that the
enlargement between The races is widen
ins--on the par, OF The negroes from the
effects Of such instruction as teaches the m
to dislrust and oppose the whites, and on
The part Of The latter from an abhorIence
OF the negro leaders and an instructive
aversion to be ruled and legi.la'ed for. by
ignorance semi-bsrbsrism. From what
fell under his own observation in Geor.
gis he was unable to detect ANYTHING like
spirit on either side tending 10 mutual
sympathy OF sentiment and interest.
