BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

All women know that it is beauty, rather than
genius, which all generations of men have wor-
shipped in the sex. Can it be wondered at then,
that so much of woman's time and attention
should be directed to the means of developing
and preserving that beauty! Women know, too,
that when men speak of the intellect of women,
they speak critically, tamely, coolly, but when
they come to speak Of the charms of q beautiful
woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be pro
foundly, if not, indeed, ridicousy in earnest. 1t
il part OF the natural sRgacity of women to per-
ceive all this, and therefore moloy every allow
able art to become the goddess of that alteration.
Preach to the contrary, we may, against the
arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty, there still stonds the eternal fact, that
the world does not prefer the society of an ugly
woman of genius to that of q beauty of less in
telieotuai requirements. The world has y ct al
lowed no higher mission to women than to be
beautiful, and it would seem that the ladies of
the persent age carrying this idea of the
world to greater extremes than ever, for all wo
men now to whom nature has denied talismanic
power of beaut, supply the deficiency by the use
of a most beautiful toilet article, known as the
"Bloom of Youth, /" which has been lately intro
duced into this country by GEORGE W. LAIRD, .
delicate beautiier, which smooths out all inden-
tatons, burrows, scars, removing tan, freckles,
and discolorations from the skin, leaving the
complexion clear, brilliant, and beautiful the
skin soft and smooth. With the assistance of
this new American trick of Lady's toilet, female
beauty is destined to play larger par. in the
admiration of men and the ambition OF women
than all the arts employed since her creation.
Prof. @. F. Chandler, Chemist to the Metropoli-
tan Board of Health has recently prepared a
chemical analysis of this delightful toilet prep
aration, and reported that the "Bloom of Youth
was harmless, containing nothing injurious TO
the health. Ladies need have no fear OF using
this invaluable toilet ac cquisition.

have been still more disastrous.
The Fire King, at the City Hall cisterp,
waited for the lower town engines, after the
arrival of which the supply of water was
soon exhausted, when 1000 feet of hose was
laid on Iowa street from the river. The
Rock Island steamer supplied the Liberty

All Of the buildings were frame dwellings,

of its ravsges. The house in which the
fire originated was insured for 81 800. owned
by A. Skeel,snd occupied by S. l.. Mitchell,

The next building was also the property
of Mr.. A. Skeel, insured for a small amount,

$4,000, insured in the Putnam for $1,000.
Mr. Thomas Cochran occupied the building;
his loss on furniture WAS about $500, insured
for 5000.
The total loss is estimated at about
$4,000 upon the buildings. The loss and

probably will not exceed $500. There
was insurance to the amount of acout
$4,000.

The Bells at the Academy.

Decidedly, one of the pleasantest series OF
entertainments that have been given in
New Orleans during the present season are
those of the Berger Family at this establish
ment. Aside from the charm of the music
of the silver-toned bells and the novelty OF
listening to the efforts of the young ladies' on
instruments with which, as general thing,
| ladies are not supposed to be much ac'
| quainted, such as comets and viollns, there
is an elegance, chasteness, and general
| absence of that professional air so inse-
! peraby connected with the stage, that
gives to the whole entertainment the effect
| of d drawing room or parlor concert, rather
| than that usually witnessed in theatres.
There is much real talent in this young
company. Without making any pretensions
| to extreme eminence in any particular line
of their extensive repertoire, they, neverthe-
| less, present all they attempt in very ac-
ceptable manner. Miss Elite Berger is a
most charming young lady, and appears to
| be equally at home at the bell table or on
| the violin, cornet, harp, or 'statF' bells; the
same might also be said of Miss Anna Berger;
while Miss Maud Stanley is possessed of an
excellent soprano voice, of moderate power,
| which she uses to good advantage.
Mr.. A. ]. Whitcomb is very superior
harpist; indeed we do not know that his
equal has been heard in New Orleans since
the days when Bochsa used to visit US.
Professor Gardner is more than average per-
former on the cornet, and the efficiency OF
| the performers of the ''band" of the compa-
| ny speaks we'll of his abilities as leader.
Sol Smith Russell, the commedian of the
| troupe. is one of the best facial humorists
| we have ever had here. He is remarkably
clever in hs make up, and his changes are
made with neatness and dispatch. He has
some capital songs. most of which are new
| to this vicinity, and the repeated encores OF
the audience attest how highly they are rel
shed By the way, though, this encore
| business is apt to be carrie d a little too far
by portion of the audience, and we would
suggest to Mr.. Russell that after appearing
three or four times in compliance with tle
| demands Of an audience, it has an injurious
effect to so constantly re appear, only to
exit again with a speech or a gag" These
comments, however, are made in all kind
ness, and we would again remark, as at tht
commenc cement of this article, that the
Berger Family furnish an evenings amnse
ment which is among the most enjoyable VIZ
have had this season, and to advise all
both old and young. not to let the opportu-
nifty pass Of listening to the delicious music
upon the Swiss bells Of this talented com
pany.

an .brogation OF those old, and the re-en-

them correctly We must take the Whoe OF
the revised statutes, together with the act
Of amendment and the repeating act, and
consider them in reference to the known

There are decisions of this court which

remark, that they do not involve the ques'

first, and in the first, one member OF the
court at least recognized this distinction
and stated it as one OF the reasons OF ms
