DELICATE CREATUREs.-This Is tia
phrase applied by His Blackness, the
Moor of Venice, to the fair ladies oil
Italy. 1t was the lovely complexion OF
Desdemona, such brilliant contrast to
his own, that won his heart; and sootb
to say, every man Of discernment con-
siders a fair skin, like sweet voice, IAN
excellent thing in woman. Now tins
is a charm which can be acquired.
There is a healthlul and odorlIerous
toilet article, known everywhere as
Hagan's Magnolia Balm, which liter
ally transfgures a cloudy or sallow
skin, suffusing the discolored face, neck,
arms and bosom with a soft, pearIy
tinge, and imparting to the surface a
smooth ness and gloss like that OF pol
ished marble. Instead of cloggng the
pores, like the sticky enames, or con
tracing them, aud thus obstructlng per
spiration, like the astringent cosmetics,
it cleanses the skin from all impurities
and wonderfully improves its texture.
This popularity is particularly appre'
ciated by our rural bellies, who find that
the coarseness and roughness, which
country air is apt to engender, are speed,
ily removed from their faces, hands and
arms, by this delightful preparation.

ST. AGNES DAY.-To.morrox is St.
Agnes day, a day celebrated BY poets
and maidens. who, after using certain
charms, desire to be favored with
dreams of their future husbands. To
night, st. Agnes Eve, in many coun.
tries many spells and divinations are
engaged in by young maideus who de-
sire to lift the veil of futurity and see
what fate has in store for them.
"They told how, upon st. Agnes Eve,
Young virgins might have visions OF de-
And soft adornings from their love receive
II Ceremonies due they did sright;
As suppsrless to bed they must retire.
Nor look behind, nor sideways, but require
or heaven, with upward eyes, for all that
they desire"
St. Agnes, having devoted herself to
the service Of God, refused to become
the bride Of o noble Roman; she was
charged with being q Christian, and
endured many brutal indignities rather
than sacrifice to the gods. She suffered
martyrdom A. D. 304, being first thrust
into the flames and. afterwards behead-
ed. Shortly afterward, while her pa
rents were bewailing her death, she
appeared to them with q glori6ed aspect
and q spotless lamb BY her side, and
babe them dry their tears, for she was
now forever united to her dear Savior,

FORMAL PossEssIoN.-A few days ago
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
Company took formal possession OF the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh road, andit
will hereafter be operated under that
management. OF the many roads
leased by the Pennsylvania, we know
OF no safer or better managed than the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh. For safety
speed and comfort it has no rival. John
Thomas, Eco, is TO be Superintendent
of the road, and under his management
we are sure all will be well. The three
conductors on the river division are
among the Oldest employees Of the road.
Messrs. A. C. Ella, John Stevenson and
John Breen have been on the line ever
since it's construction, and we know OF
no more attentive and obliging conduc'
tors. When the bridge is built across
our river, we presume the trains will
run directly over into the city. The
extension OF the road on this side Of
the river now being a fixed fact, Wheel
ing will soon loom up "a a railroad
central.

SELLING A MousrAcHB.-We were
told the other day Of q young man in
this city-a blonde-who by. dint of
early rising, onguent, attention to the
matter and remaining up late o'nig hts
has succeeded in raising q very respec-
table moustaehe of q beautiful mush
and molasses color. To be sure it wasn't
remarkably thick, but its high-toned
and fashionable color and the care be-
slowed upon its culture made it very
valuable in the eyes Of its possessor.
We say it was not remarkable for its
thickness, but still it was 80 large that
it could be seen more than halfway
across a room without the aid Of look
ing glass. Now, Johnny, as we shall
call him for short, has certain friends
who have watched with intense interest
the growth Of that moustache some of
them have gone 80 far as to set up with
it when it had a sickly appearance and
have aided the manly efforts Johnny
has been putting forth for the past five
or six years TO bring it to perfection,
and now that his efforts are crowned
with success the souls OF these friends
are filled with envy. They have
watched with jealous eyes the ladies
who have promenaded up the Main
street hill past Johnny's store, and
knew that il was that moustache that
drew the dear creatures that way.
They resolved on Johnny's downfall
and the slaughter Of that moustacbe.
Thus it was accomplished.
One night the party met in jovial
mood at the rooms OF bachelor friend.
That gorgeous moustache was the sub
ject of remark. Johnny pranced up
and down the room proud of his hirsute
appendage, as he marched before the
glass. How did he APPEAR We pre-
sent his picture as taken by Billy Jones
an advanced scholar in the infant
department OF one Of our schools, or
the spot and on his slate IN. B. The
back ground is supposed to be the slate)

SPLENDID BARGAINs.-The closing out
sale of Dry Goods at Emsheimer i

never been equaled before in our city.
Those who have visited their store and
examined those beautiful Silk Goods,
Silk Velvets and the large selections OF
foreign and domestic Dress Goods, as
we'll as their general stock offered at
this sale, can testify to the slaughter
best. The firm, in addition to their
numerous bargains, will offer this week
500 dozen of the best Machine Cotton
at 5 cents spool, limiting each GUS
toner to one dozen only! We would
advise our ladies to call on Messrs. EN-
sheimer g. Blum when out shopping to,
day, who will politely chow you through
their stock.

IT HAS no RIvAL.-The standard ex-
cellence Of Dooleys Yeast Powder has
been satisfactorily demonstrated to BE
owing to its strict chemical purity, no
articles being used in its composition
but those especially adapted to the pur-
pose, and such as are free from any in
furious substances. Two teaspoonfuls
of Dooley's Yeast Powder is all that is
necessary in quart OF -four, while ordi.
nary Baking Powders require from one
third to one-half more. Hence. Doc
ley's is the most economical, reliable,
and the best. Manufactured by Dooley

POLICE CoURr.-Again three cases
made up the record for the Police Court,
yesterday.
Ashbury Lett, a youth OF the Fiji
teenth Amendment order Of architec-
ture, was arrested for coasting on
Monroe street, on Thursday morning.
When he saw Officer Cooper coming
the saddle colored Lett let his heels fly,
and for two or three squares it was
"hcop it up Cooper" "let Lett fy."
But blood will tell and Lett let down,
when he was instantly taken up by the
Sergeant. He was fined 81 and costs,
amounting to $3.50, which was paid.
1t strikes us that it would be cheaper
for parents to hire horses and sleighs
for their sons, and let them have legal
sleigh ride, than to pay $3.50 for them
to wear out clothes and shoes in coast.
ing. :,
Anthony busch and John scholl
were arrested while engaged in racing
their horses ON Main street, Centre
Wheeling, Thursday afternoon. A
witness told us that they made mighty
good time considering the condition Of
the street and the prohibitions Of the
ordinances. They were fined 81 and
costs each.

Observe the fidelity with which the
artist has preserved the joyous smile
which Johnny smole as he gazed in the

urchin's head. Gaze on those extended
hands, the reckless cut OF the hair, the

But to return to our subject:
The boys got to decrying the nous
tache and attacking Johnnys vanity
because Of it. One word bred another,
until one of the boys told him he was
80 proud of the few hairs under his nose
that he would not take twenty-five dol
lars for it. Johnny's ears worked
backward and forward at THE. There
amt one of you fellows" he said,
(Johnny isn't particular about his
grammar,) "who dares offer me ten
dollars for it." Would you sell at
that9 Eyes, quick" Quicker than
chain lightning could run down a
creased pole the bargain was made, and
Johnny sold his moustache. The boys
adjourned to barber shop, and the
purchaser, taking the barber one side
gave him a dollar and told him to
shave off only one-half the orna-
ment at first. Johnny sat in
the chair and commenced guying the
boys, wishing to know il they would
buy all he could raise at the same price,
and enjoyed himself nicely until one
half his proud moustache fell before
the shining blade Of the reaper Of hair.
He sighed and waited. The barber put
away his razor and commenced spong'
ing his face. Good gracious he
exclaimed, as he Strengthened up, "ain't
you going to finish p "De gem'man
don't want no mo-" said the barber.
That's it, Johnny" said the purchaser,
Il don't care about taking it all now,
I'll call for the rest on next Thursday"
Oaths and imprecations were all in
vain. The purchaser insisted that the
moustache was his; he had paid for it,
and would do as he pleased with it.
Johnny was beat. He was to 60 to a
leap year party that night and couldn't
Of course appear in society with half a
moustaehe. He and Tom, the pur,
chaser, went into q corner. Johnny
drew his pocket book and paid
two Xs and V for the other hall
OF the moustache. He soon had it re.
moved and was again happy.
