PRETTY WoMEN.-A comparatively
few Ladies monopolize the Beauty "a
well as the attention Of Society. This
ought not to be so, but 1t is; and will
be while men are foolish and single out
pretty faces for companions.
This can all be changed by using Ha.
gan's Magnolia Balm, which gives the
Bloom Of Youth and a refined spark
ling Beauty to the Complexion, pleas
Ing, powerful and natural.
No lady need complain Of a red, tan-
ned, freckled or rustic Complexion who
will invest seYenty.ave cents In Ha.
gan's Magnolia Balm. It's effects are
truly wonderful. To Preserve and
Dress the Hair use Lyons Kathairon.

But the ropes would not let her 60 back.
She could no moro break through them
that way than Rina could the other. Aad
suddenly, o little silver thread came, and
twisted about her finger, and led her on:
whether she would or no. She noticed that
the path had never been so yeivety and soft
before, and never had there been such
crowds of blossoms on it's borders - and All
so rosy, and bright, and fragrant, too. But
the thread would not let her stop TO search
for the diamond, and scarcely long enough
to stoop for violet.
And as she went along, deeper and deep,
er into the fprest, she thought the wild
roses must have been bewitched, for they
kept nodding and nodding about her, when
there wasn't enough wind to stir single
petal and the great, surprised looking
violets winked their blue eyes at her and
curtseyed so low that they came very neal
spilling all their dew drops. And YOU
should have seen and heard the birds thai
followed her through the deep, dark deils
and shadowy, fragrant bowers, and sum!

O'Clock in the afternoon of that 'day, q
grindstone, six feet in diameter, and weigh.

assorted in England, aud then exported to
different countries. The undressed iurs
are liable to be eaten by tho grub of q
beetle. The eggs are laid in crevice Of
tho skin, and when the grub has grown to
the size Of caterpillar, it feeds upon the
fur. Iu one year, at the London Docks,
$175, 600 worth Of packages of skins were
opened and found to be worthless. No

The TELEGRAPH.
From the New York Post.

A full and accurate statement of the num-
ber oftelegraph stations and the operators
employed in the United States has never
been published, and is not generally known
even among telegraphers. According to,
official information, which We have taken
some pains to gather, the total number Of
telegraph Offices now daily transmitting
messages is a. follows: Western Union
offices, 3, 469; Franklin, Atlantic. and Pac-
ifio, Pacific and Atlantic, and Bankers and
Brokers' line Offices, 545; total number of
public Offices in the United States, 4.O14.
The estimated number of private offices, at
which no public business is received ior
transmission, is 100-making grand total
of ia. .,....., ,....-? '"
The number of miles now in actual use is
as follows: Western Union Company, g.
O99; Franklin, Atlantic l. Pacific, Pacific &
Atlantic, and Bankers l. Brokers'. and con-
nections, 1850. The number of persons
employed, including presidents, superin-
tendents, managers. operators, clerks, mes
sengers and line repairers, has been careful
ly estimated at 800. A large number of
good operators have left the business dur
ing the past few years; and in this city
there arc many professional telegraphers
engaged in other pursuits.
In no part of the world is the telegraph
80 literally used by the newspapers as in
the United States. The greater amount of
this work il done at night, when the finan.
cial and commercial business of the day is
concluded, aud the various companies can
therefore afford to send news cheaply. The
number of words contained in the press
dispatches delivered to the different jour-
nails in the United States during the past
year, by all the lines, is estimated at AGO.
SOC, 600; and the amount of tolls upon this
class of custom in the same year was

PERSONS of curious turn Of mind will be
interested to know that an eminent He
braical scholar of Cincinnati has written q
review OF the history of the Omnific auto
graph, or name of the Almighty, as written
by the Deity and deposited in the Ark Of
tho Covenant. Many singular statements
are advanced in this treatise, but what Is
most important to us will be found in the
reparks on the meaning Of the name. The
signiacation presented In the Scripture is.
II am that am," conveying the idea of
actual existence, literally and fguratively,
omniscient creative power. According to
the writer referred to the true meaning of
the ineffable word (Which was composed Of
three letters) was, Il am what Tor that) !
have always been." expressing the idea of
the eternityin deiao existence, a. we'll al
impart tho same. This agrees thoroughly
with the history of all the language spoken
to man by his Maker, face to face, or
through the prophets aud inspired writer's.
