OUR REvoLvERs-I was armed to the
teeth with a pitiful Smith & Wesson's sew
en-shooter, which carried ball like home
opathic pill, and it took the whole seven to
make a dose for an adult. But thought it
was grand. 1t appeared to be a dangerous
weapon. 1t only had one fault-you could
not hit anything with it. One of our econ
ductors" practiced a while on COW with it,
and as long as she stood still and behaved
herself, she was safe; but as soon as she
went moving about, and he got to shooting
at other things, she came to grief. The sec
retary had small-sized Colts revolver
strapped around him for protection against
the Indians, and to guard against accidents
he carried it uncapped. Mr.. George Bems
was dismally formidable. George Bemis was
our fellow-t traveller. We had never seen
him before. He wore in his belt an original
"Allen revolver, such as irreverent people
called "pepper-box." Simply drawing the
trigger back cooked and fired the pistol. AS
the trigger came back the hammer would
begin to rise and the barrel to turn over,
and presently down would drop the hammer,
and away would speed the ball. To aim
along the turning barrel, and hit the thing
aimed at, was a feat which was probably
never done with an "Alen in the world.
But Georges was reliable weapon, never
theless, because, as one of the stage-drivers
aflerward said, eff she didn't get what she
went after, she would fetch something else. "
And so she did. She went after deuce Of
spades nailed against tree once, and fetched
a mule standing about thirty yards to the
left of it. Bemis did not want the mule
but the owner came out with double bar
relied shotgun, and persuaded him to buy it
anyhow 1t was a cheerful weapon-the
"Allen." Sometimes all its six barrels would
go off at once, and then there was no safety
in all the region round about, but behind it.

We have heard that man who represents
himself as Col. Fowler, and claiming to repre-
sent the Grand Army of the Republic in len
nesSee has been at Washington, where lie Wis
IN which there are number of Tennessee chill
dren, and demonstrated with the Matron of the
institution that they were there His reason for so
strange remonstrance was that there was such
an Institution at Nashville for them, and they
should be there We have been asked If tbis e
true, and have very promptly replied that no
such an Institution exists there for the benefit of
the orphans of deceased Federal soldiers, and
very little probability that such an institution
ever will exist there. Col. ~ Fowler is an i'm
poster and evidently trying to Stir up mischief
which will result badly for the orphans in the

This is the phrase applied by His Blaekness, the

a radiant contrast of his own, that won his
heart; and sooth to say every man of discern
ment considers a fair skin, like a sweet voice,
IAN excellent thing in woman" Now this is q
charm which can be aeqpired There is a
healthftIl and odOriferous toilet article, known
everywhere as HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM,
which literally transfigures cloudy or sallOw
skin, suffusing the discolored face, neck, arms
and bosom with soft. pearl tinge, and impart-
ing TO the surface smoothness and a gloss like
that of polished marble Instead of clogging
the pores, like the stick enamels, or contracting
them, and thus obstructing perspiration, like
the astringent cosmetics, it cleanses the skin
from all impurities and wonderfully improves
its texture This popularity is particularly ap-
preciated by our bellies, who find that the coar-
seness and roughness, which country air is apt
to engender, are speedily removed from their
faces hands.and arms, by this delightful pre-
paration.
