PERsrIRAT1oN.-The unpleasant odor
produced by perspiration is frequently the
source of rexation to persons who are subject
to it. Nothing is simpler than to removs
this odor much more stfectually than by the
application of such costly ungenls and per-
fumes as arc in use. 1t is only necessary TO-
procure some of the compound spirits of am
mania and place about two tablcspoonfuls in
a basin of water. Washing the hands, face
and arms with this leaves the skin NJ clean,
fresh and sweet as one could wish. The
wash is perfectly harmless. and very cheap.
1t is recommended on the authority Of an
experienced physician.
TIE GREAT MYsTERY.-Thc body is to

dary comes back to tell The Imagination
visits the land of shadows-sent out from
some window of the soul over lifc's restless
watcrs-but wings its way back without
live leaf in its beak as 4 token of merging
life beyond the closely blending horizon
The great sun comes, goes in the heavens,
yet breathcs no secret of the ETHEREAL wilder

overheard no signals. The sentinel stars
challenge each other as they walk their
nightly round but we catch no syllable of
their countersi gn which gives passage to the

other life there is great gulf fixed, across
which neither foot nor eye can travel Tic
gentle friend whose eyes were closed in their

EXTRAORDINARY RIDING Mr.. Nord-
hoff writes from Angeles, California, to the
New York Tribune:
At the Santa Margarita We attended a
Rodco, where the horssmen displayed in our
honor some of their finest skill; and it was
marvellous to see not only the certainty with
which lasso or riata is flung, and the admi-
rable training of the horses which cooper
ate with their riders and turn like fash
when mad bull flies at his pursuer; but the
jokes of the field, one Of which is to singl
out bull or cow, chase it out of the herd,
dash after it in full speed, and lean out of
the saddle until the rider catches the tail OF
the beast This he winds quickly about his
hand, and at the same time tucksi it under
his leg, holding it between the leg and the
saddle. At the same instant the horse, feel
ing the tail on his flank, and perfect in his
part; increases his speed, and both running
in nearly parallel lines close together, if the
horses speed is greater than the bulls the
latter is flung heels over head. saw this
practical joke played a dozen times: it is
one of the favorite diversions of the popular
lrodeo,

Execution OF e. DesperadO.

Newton V. Chandler, noted desperate,
was executed here on Friday, for robbery.

Of Sge and possessed, OF fine physique
Though of respectable parents: his cduca-
tion was neglected during the war and he
grew up in the habits Of drinking and gam-
bling. After the war he associated with Il
lot of roughs, and was with them on an oc-
casion when they disguised themselves anl
hung negro for imp!ope assocation with
u white woman whose husband belonged to
the gang. This action raised cry against
them of being Ku Elux, but politics had
nothing to do with the affair at all. In the
spring Of 1871, he married very handsome
and intelligent young lady, daughter Of Mr..
j. C. Rycrs, of York county, South Carroll.
na and four days after borrowed his father
in-law's horse and buggy, took them to North
Carolina, sold them and went on spree
He was then forbidden by his father-in-law
to return, and never saw his wife again. Lie
became entirely reckless, and finally, with
companion, went to the house of an old far
mer near Lincolnton, made him give up his
money, S125 in all, and then, pistol in hand,
forced one of the old mans daughters OH a.
bed and brutally outraged her. The two
Williams then set fire to the house and left.
On the 22d of May Chandler was brought to
trial and conyictcd. The prisoner appeared
upon the scaffold on, Friday, attended by
clergyman, who performed the usual scryi-
ccs. Chandler then exclaimed, 20 death,
where is thy sting! O grave, where is thy
victory! o hell, where are thy terrors"
The rope was adjusted, the drop sprung,
and in twenty minutes he was cut down
dead Only few persons were admit
ted inside the Jail enclosure where the
execution took place, though considerable
number were outside. g.,
