Secrets CT The Toilette. Recently, Ia
dy well advanced in years, who had renoun-
ced the pomps and vanities of the world,
was curious to know some of the tricks, and
repaired to famous professor of the art
for rendering her sex "beautiful forever"
Addressing the Partisan "Rachel," she
said, "Perhaps you mistake the motive
of my visit; | have come to endeaYor TO re-
pair what is ireparable." Madame, am
quite at your SERVICE" said the enameler.
"Well, how do you go to worll?" 81
employ several methods. If you wish to
be done thoroughly, lke---naming u
certain great LADY,, several days of prepa-
ration are necessary. Look in this magni-
flying mirror You see all the wrinkles and
hollows which time has imprinted upon
your face. Well, first fill up these with fine
silken threads, which are carefully laid in
each wrinkle, and attached by some adhe-
sive preparation. This takes very long
time, and requires great dcXterity of hand.
When every wrinkle is thus filled up, L
spread over the face one of my preparations,
which fixes the thread firmly to the skin,
and keeps them all in their place. After
that slight dusting of violet powder,
which must be constantly renewed. This
process will last for month"; after which it
must be repeated" Well" said the la
dy, "but during the month, how about
washing the face ?'' "You must not think
of washing, nol even blow your nose. That
would disturb the position of the threads
laid in the crows feet, madame" The
priestess Of the fountain Of youth then de-
tailed more minutely other less elaborate
means of repairing the ravages of time,
mentioning various titled danes, who had
been "rejuvenated'' in most successful
manner and informing her visitor that per-
manent beauty equivalent to new skin,
cost only 500 francs and other minor inn
provements in proportion.

A Cattle Epidemic. people of Salem
Va, a town about fifty miles from Alexan-
dria, ,on the Orange, Alexandria and Manass-
as railroad are sadly afflicted by the loss
of nearly every milch COW in that locality
from the effects of disease, sudden and
violent in its attack, and which in the three
days has carried off nineteen cows while
many others will probably die. The Wash
ngton relu ,ican says:
"The disease is supposed to have been
brought into the neighborhood by herd of
Texas cattle recently pastured in the vicini-
ty Of the town while awaiting a market
AS soon as the animal contracts the disease
her milk is dried at once, the kidneys cease
their action, while the stomach refuses to
perform its functions. In some cases a
quantity Of mucous forms in the windpipe
and a spasmOdic action is noticed about
the head.-Various remedies have been ap-
piled by the owners, but nothing has
been found sufficiently efiicacious to prevent
n fatal termination. The citizens are great
ly exercised in regard TO the NATTER and
threaten dire vengeance upon the heads
of the Texan drovers if they can be found.
In some States these cattle are prevented
by law from being brought within its boun-
daries, and our Virginia friends urge that
some action must be taken i'll their State"

pathetically appeals to Governor Geary to
pardon him, SO that he may join the Prus-

believe that Prussia wants that kind of help,
and think propably that the Governor will
be of the same opinion.

< A Cannon Goes Off Without Noise
On Wednesday of last week, man named
Cannon who was in Jail in this borough
awaiting trial, for stealing horse from
John Beard, of Centre township, made his
escape. This he did by scaling the wall
with rope which he made by tearing up
his bed tick, and attaching it to the wall
with hook he made from some wire. AT
ter reaching the top, he jumped to the al
ley i'll the rear of the yard, and up to the
present time nothing has been learned as to
his whereabouts a reward Of fifty dol
lars is offered for his arrest The sheriff
and jailor were both absent from town on

y Church and RailrOad.-A meeting is to
be held in the Presbyterian church on next
Friday evening to see what means can be
taken towards repairing and improving that
building. We believe the best way to do it
would be to make the railroad from Dun
cannon to this place, and this town would
grow so rapidly that church improvements
would follow as matter of course. AS
one or two OF the commissioners of the
proposed road are interested in this church
improvement we offer the above suggestion
for their consideration.

IIor WEATuER.--The spots on the Sun
have evidently left or been swallowed up in
glory. The heat during the past week may
be cited in evidence When, over the East
ern hills the first rays strike the thermometer,
that Thermometer il so minutes jumps from
10 to 80 degrees without giving the unfortun-
ate human beings doomed through the sIm-
mer to dwell! in this parched locality proper
time for their organizations to get in trim to
resist comfortably such high temperature.
That makes US feel so cross and devilish and
uncomfortable during the first three or four
hot morning hours. There is sort Of dead
ness and lack of vitality in our morning air
at this season. 1t is not until the ten-o clock
breeze .hat any life or stimulus is impaired
to it. The thermometer in Sonora during
the early days of the past week pranced vio-
lently around 100. In jamestown, last
Tuesday it stood for hours at 10 and one
mercurial register, which ives evidently
drunk ascended to lis. We consider thar
any prolonged temperature ever 100 degrees
is justifable cause for insanity, murder or
divorce.

A PRoMIsINo VErN.-On the west side Of
Table Mountain, Mr.. Newton, of jamestown,
and another gentleman have, within the last
month, developed quartz vein which prom
ises TO be of extraordinary richness. The
vein whore opened is some twelve feet in
width; IF this, three feet is first-class paying
ore; and the irst-class paying ore of this
claim, according to the estimates Of quartz
experts, prospects Mt the rate of one thous-
and dollars per ton. SAMPLES of the quartz
we have seen, are very brittle and crumhlirg G
in texture and easily crushed The geld is
very fine, being invisible TO the eye. The
presumed fortunate prospectors have about
fifteen tons Of rock taken out. The locality
is said to be in the neighhorhood of the DAN

fever and ague districts in the Western States,
and that they nre signs, harbngers and pro-
curors of fever and ague. and that we shall
probably have more Of this ngitatory com.
