Mrs. Swisshelm, the Washing editress,

to be real woman is to be "lallen. ~
And we are rejoiced to know that the
men are, eternally kicking over their

TYpE-SIzE AND NAME.-The largest
metal types now cast are ten line plea,
which is the standard size type, and is
one-sixth of az inch long. Smaller than
this comes small plea, long primer, bour-
geois, BREWER, minion, nonpareil, agate,
pearl, diamond and brilliant. Plea is
known by the French as Cicero, because
his works were first set up in this type.
The next largest, English, is for the
same reason known as St. Augustine.
Brewer was first known in printing bre-

it was the smallest type then known !;
nonpareil because the maker thought it
could not be equalled. Pearl was the
production of an ambitious die cutter.
Diamond was cast in Baltimore foun-
dry and lastly, brilliant, in which it
takes 1000 of the letter to make a pound.
and which is but twentieth of an inch

HEALTH AND V1TALIrY.--lt seems as
ifsudden deaths were on the increase,
and it is possible that the hurry, excite
ment, worry and prolonged exertion Cf
modern life, not to mention the gen
eral disregard of the law of health, may
account for the fact. The Boston Jour
nal, referring to the death Of Mr.. Ray
mond, says.
We know amerchant in this city, the
head of an extensive and prosperous
house, who boasted that for twenty
years he had never taken any recreation,
or, on week days, ,,been absent from his
business. And yet he died suddenly
and bankrupt. We cannot, of course,
say, in case like this, that if such
man had been more observant of the
laws of health, he would have attained
to the age Of Father Cleveland, but it is
q reasonable supposiiion that he would
have lived longer than he did and en-
joyed life more. ,..s- ....... ....
lt has been said that it's well for
men to have some complaint, or the ap-
prehension Of some hereditary disease
Just enough to keep them on their guard
and make them pay some sort OF atten-
tiou to the laws of life or health. We
sacrifice everything to whatever We un'
dertake-business, pleasure or study
even to idleness. Whatever the most
men do, they do-it with will.

NEwBERRY.-What are the people
there about? Winding their own busi-
ness? Doubt it. 'Tis not in human ma
ture. But never mind the good people
in that village we will put the question
in different form. What are the Lu-
therans in Newberry doing? The Lord
not long ago sent his fiery messenger to
arouse them out of their lethargy. Did
he succeed?
What are the brethren there doing to
obtain the services of a minister? We
think the church has been vacant long
enough.
We find the above in the Lutheran &
Visitor. Brother Rude is greatly in
error when he doubts that the people
of Newberry are minding their business.
No people attend more strictly to busi-
ness, as whole. As to the amended
question however, referring to the fiery
messenger which shattered the Lutheran
Church steeple. We say that the Church
has been repaired, and looks better Row
than before, and that the work was done
promptly. As to the last question We
can give no information,

Let Southern Women Keep Their Complex

"WlLtouaHBy." the entertaining New
York correspondent Of the Augusta Con-
stitutionaliSt, writes thus concerning the
new art of enamelling the female integu-
meht. It's most horrible process,
and we are glad that most Southern wo-
men are too poor to indulge in it. Won
der if they wont eventually devise some
plan to scoop out the whole face, and re-
place it with a prettier one! That would
be something worth while taking hold of.
But let the ladies listen to "W1LLoUGABY:"
An Interesting branch of business,
which, though quite familiar to the Pa
risians, is somewhat novel to the citizens
Of New York. is that of enameling. The
belle, whether married or single, who has
decided to adopt this method Of renewing
the freshness of her waning charms, un-
dergoes, as preliminary, the somewhat
trying ordeal of microscopic, inspec-
ton, and while submitting to scrutiny
so severe, the smallest imperfections up
on cheek or bust, such as any rough hairs
or furry, are removed by the application
of linament plaster, or medicated soap.
Thus prepared, the face and the neck OF
the fair one, or the one desirous of be-
coming fair, which ever you may please
to term it, is covered with a coating of
enamel composed of arsenic, white lead,
ETC., which is made into semi paste and
agreeabiy perfumed, This application
will endure, ordinarily, no longer than a
dav or two, but as it is desirable that the
improvement should be lasting, the, pro-
cess is generally renewed every few days
for the space OF some weeks, and in this
process, the trimming and penciling Of
the eyebrows is not unfrequently incln-
ded. Sometimes the fair subject of these
operations, or, as we said above, the sub
iect about to become fair, wishes only to
be specially captivating upon some. spe--
cial occasion, or, her funds possibly, may
be in low condition, in which case she
is enameled only pro tenn, and pays ac-'
cordingly ; in such instances, the charge
being only from ten to twenty dollars.
In other cases, where the lady wishes
always, and upon all occasions to charm
to the utmost her attendant admirers,
she makes more permanent business of
it, and is rendered faul;less, so far as
complexion goes. for the space of six
months or more, at a cost which varies
from two to six hundred dollars.

THE CROPS.

The report for the months of May and
June, issued by the United States Ag-
ricultural Bureau, shows high average
condition of the wheat-and the pros
poets of an abundant crop, it is asserted, ,
are very favorable. Rye, barley and
other grains are reported to be in fine
condition. Barley has been sown over a
wider area, particularly in California and
the States West of the Mississippi Riv-
er. Oats have been more extensively
planted in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas, but not to the
usual extent in the Ohio Valley. Corn
planting, it is stated, has everywhere
been retarded by excessive rain and
cold, and replanting has been required
in many instances. The crop is, there
fore, backward, but generally vigorous,
with prospect of fair yield. Cotton
planting has been stimulated by the
high prices of1S6S, and a wider area
has been cultivated. In the Southern
States, howse..er, the first report Of the
cotton crop we unfavoraS;s, on &C.
count of TIE cold and unto~".,rd weather
of the Spring. Later reports are mo,S
favorable, and the hot weather, il is
stated, is producing a grca. change il
the prospects. Sorghum has been cul-
tivated very largely f,r syrup, and in
some cases for sugar. The s,nai! fruits
