BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

All women know that il is beauty. rather than
shipped in the sex. Can it be wondered a. then.
that much of wcmans time and attention
should be directed to the means o. deyel opiDr
and preserving that beauty. " omen know. too.
that when men speak of the intellect of women,
they speak critically, ts.nely, cooly, but when
they come to speak Of the charms of beautiful
woman, their isnFIage and their eyes kindle
with an onthusi'sm which shows them to be pro
ioundly, Ii net, indeed, ridicously in earnest II
Is part OF TIE natural ssgacity of women to per
ceIye all mis- and therefore employ every allow
able at TO become the goddess of that alteration.
Preach to the contrary, may, against the
arts employed ny 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 beauty OF less III
tellectual 4uirements. The world has ct al
lowed no higher mission TO women than to be
beautiful, and it would seem that the ladies of
the persent age are carrying this idea of the
world to greater extremes than ever, for sll wo-
men now to whom nature has denied taiisman c
power OF beauty 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, 3
tations, burrows, sears, removing tan, freckies,
and disoolorations frou the skin, leaving the
complexion clear, brilliant, and beautiful. the
skin soft and smooth. With the assistance Of
this new American trick of a Lady's toilet, female
beauty is destined to play larger par: in the
admiration of ard 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
a-ation, 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 acquisition.

NELSON ACQUITTED.-The preliminary
examination of William Nelson for the
killing OF Donovan, in Davenport last week,
was had yesterday before Justice Peters.
Inc humble of spectators was SO great that
the examination was held in the Court
House Messrs. Murphy and Martin ap.
pesred for the prisoner, and Gen. Leake for
the state.
The main facts elected are the same as
heretofore given. The excitement was
great when the aged mother of Nelson was
carried into the court room. She testified to
having been struck on the shoulder. Here
the defense rested their cause.
Gen. Leake rose and said, that he was
sensible of the solemn duty resting upon
him, but he would say, that from the evil
dence, he would have done the same under
similar circumstances.
Messrs Murphy & Martin, who are crimi'
nal lawyers of acknowledged ability, but
had no occasion for bringing their legal
talents into requisition, submitted the case
without argument. Justice Peters immedi'
ately discharged Nelson from custody, who
was quite overcome a. regaining his liberty.
There was some diversity of opinion on the
matter, but the general opinion was that a
person should protect at ell hazards. hi.

EuREKA-ASD WHAT THE UNION CAN DO
WITH 1.-THE Union is in great glee be-
cause Mr.. Mcdonald has told it that two
children got into the mud puddle on Rock
River street, near Broad way, yesterday, and
would have drowned, etc. 'Orrible ORR
bic The Union at once proceeds to abuse
the City Council for not having these hoies
filed. The Union has the following item ::
DRowsrp- Yesterday afternoon, Frank
Elder, aged fourteen. son OF a. U, Fioef'
n.nar hsnoar was drowned near the lower
saw mill. He undertook to dive through g
hole in log raft, some nineteen logs from
the edge, and failed to accomplish the feat.
The body was not recovered.
This is no trifiing matter and the Cry
Council should be abused right roundiy
not having this hole in the ra"
stopped. very near
s"' - near the ferry landing on
sunday evening, besides nearly running
,ss's coat. Now the Union should see
chat that hole is properly filled or Charlie
NAV get in again, and there be no Bard or
DIR. jerks on hand.
As the Union seems determined to med
lie, we suggest it ALLOW its nasal protuber-
ance to linger ia the vicinity of the last
named hole. The current is swift there, so
Bard says, besides it is in close proximity
to deep water. 1t is continually noseing up
these things to abuse the council or police,
and this last will Just suit it, besides there
is that ferry or individual enterprise" close
BY that has not been properly filled. A few
months ago abuse the city for hihng holes,
and now abuses it for not doing so.

EXCURsIoN.-The Illinois Press Associa-
ton has chosen the Grand Trunk Railway
in preference to al others for their excur
sion, some time in the early part Of
next month. This road possesses many
advantages which especially recommend it
to the travelling public 1t is one of the best
managed and equipped roads in the country.
Great Improvements have been made In
passenger coaches. A full complement of
Pullman's palace sleeping cars have been
secured, and the track is in splendid condl-
ton, the rails being of the best quality OF
Bessamer steel.
Trains go through from Chicago to Port
land in ~ hours. with but one change OF
cars Those wishing to visit New England
points, or those who would enjoy the beauti-
ful. as presented in the Thousand Isles, and
the grand scenery along he route would do
well to select this line of travel.
During the summer months excursion
tickets can be had on this line. These
tickets will be sold at reduction, SO that
pleasure seekers can be accommodated at
low rates. These tickets allow of stopping
over at am point, and give al the time
required for the journey. To any Of our
friends who contem plate a trip east, We
unqusli6edIy recommend this route as one
ofthe best that can be chosen
