O. That Were Beautiful! is IL

O, That I Were Beautiful! is the I'M
spoken wish of thousands of women to whom
nature has denied the charm of pure, fresh
transparent complexion. To crafty this wish
HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM was introduced. The
cosmetics of the day had been pronounced
poisonous by the most distinguished chemists,
and it was also found that their ultimate effect
was to wither the skin as well as to paralize
the external nerves. The ladies hailed with
delight the advent of healthful, herbal and
floral preparation capable of imparting to their
faces, necks and arms porcelain smoothness
and tinge like that of the finest oriental pearl.
They soon discovered that it was 'new thing
under the sun, +" Incompatible and unapproach-
able. Unquestionably the MAGNOLIA BALM has
been the great toilet success of the present CEN
fury.

Mr.. Greeley is making some telling
speeches on his journey through the West.
Short, plain, practical, they are addressed
to the common sense of the people. While
the radical speakers and leaders are seeking
to keep up strife and engender had feeling
between the sections and the races, the
keynote of all the utterances of MI. Gree
ley has been peace and reconciliation. At
Columbus, he said, 1.-THE time has fully
come when all should say to those thou
sands who were against us, come forward
and help us, free as we are, to rebuild the
waste places of our country" Between
this policy of reconciliation and one OF
continued enlargement and hate, the peo-
pie will have to choose in November. The
issue is clearly made up.

Intelligence of Cows.

An agricultural writer remarks that while travelling in Italy, several years ago, he happened to stop at farm house one afternoon, when the COWS were about to be milked. He speaks as follows of the intelligence of COWS A herd of over one hundred were grazing homeward. The women took their position with stools and pails close to the house; and as the COWS approached names were called out, which at first we thought addressed to the milkmaids Rosa, Florenza, Giulia, Sposa, and many names which were not noted by us at the time, were called out by the overseer or one of the women, and the writer was astonished to see COW after COW cease feeding or chewing the cud, and make direct, sometimes at trot, for the woman that usually milked. The practice, we found, was not confined to one farm all the COWS on each farm knew their re- spective names, and took up their posi- tions in the open fields just as readily as the individual members of some large herds in this country, turning from the fields, take up their places in the sheds. ;"
 The Poughkeepsie Press, speaking of this same subject-the intelligence of cows-says: "One of our farmer sub scribers recently purchased an excellent COW and put her in the yard with others. His help went out ,at night to milk, as usual, and set down before one of the other COWS. No sooner, however, had he done so than the new conner made for him and drove him from his seat, nor would she let him proceed with the milking. The proprietor's attention was called to the strange conduct of his new purchase, whom his man considered dan gerous. MT. P. went into the yard and began to soothe the animal with gentle handling, and then sat down to milk her, when he found her as meek as lamb. After that she was perfectly satisfied if she was milked first, but no one must presume to slight her in this respect. She holds literally in her own case, to the seriptural mention, " that the last shall be first"

The Alabama Claims.

The President has transmitted to the Senate the correspondence between the United States and Great Britain relative to the Treaty of Washington, accompa- nied with brief message. The envel- ope bore the word confidential. A short time after the reception of the document the Senate went into execu- tive session, when it was read. It ap- pears the design of the President was to ascertain the views of the Senate as to a new article to the treaty, withdrawing the claims for consequential damages from the American statement of the case, with the provision, which is in sub stance that whenever England or the United States shall be at war, and the other neutral, the beligerent will make no complaint for any indirect or remote or consequential damages or losses re- sulting from failure to observe neutral duties. There was brief debate after the reading of the documents involving the merits of the question. A motion was made to remove the injunction of secresy, but this failed, and the message and documents were then ordered to be printed in confidence and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
 MT. Gladstone made his promised ex- planation in the House of Commons of the negotiationsin regard to the indirect claims and the position taken by the government, concluding with the hope confidently expressed of Q settlement of the difficulty honorable alike to both nations. The House was crowded, and loud and continued cheering greeted MT. Gladstone's remarks. No opposi- tion was offered from the Tory side. In the House of Lords Earl Granville made similar statement, and in reply Earl Russell further postponed his motion for withdrawal, and said he hoped the question was no longer one between the honor of the crown and the reelection of President Grant. The Earl of Derby and the Duke of Richmond hoped the new proposition of the government was not ambiguous, as they had had enough of misunderstanding.

INEXPENSIVE ORNAMENTS. There is nc ornament inside or out of our house SC cheap and tasteful as plants and flowers. Few pause to regard the architecture o1 your rooms or your house, but the beau ty of dowery shrubs, or the living ara besque of thrifty creeper over your door, are lessons of taste and beauty. Indeed, suburban residences are sadly deficient without these simple yet beau tiful accessories, always within the reach Of taste and refinement, no matter how empty the purse. As the real necessities of life require the least expenditure of time and money, so the objects which tend truly to satisfy the love of the beau tiful in nature, are within the reach of our humblest children.

CRIMINAL SEoREoY.-The martinets of the medical profession insist that it is be- meath the dignity of a regular physician to advertise. If member of the medical fac ulty should discover an absolute remedy for any disease, it would be breach of profess sional decorum to offer the specific for sale through the journals of the day. Scorning such prejudices, one of our leading practi- tioners is now making known to the public, through the columns of over three thousand newspapers, one of the most comprehensive remedies for disease that has ever assuaged the sufferings of humanity. DR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR B1rTERs, although & comparatively new medicine, has already attracted the attention of millions in both hemispheres. It has been advertised through all the channels accessible to ad- vertising enterprise, and the result has been the preservation of thousands of lives, and the prevention of an untold amount of phy- sical torture. Dr. Walker thinks that the "greatest good of the greatest number 'is the true object of medical science, and hence he steps boldly out of the contracted circle of professional exclusiveness, and places his Great Restorative within the reach of all. Its beneficial effect in cases of chronic dyspepsia, billousness, kidney disease, gout, diseases of throat and lungs, rheumatism, nervous complaints and all disorders of the secretive and excretive or gans, is beyond all estimate.-Com.

 DANaERogs.-It is dangerous for a ,wooer who IS not exactly in earnest to brag of his property. The English news papers tell of farmer at Leeds, who, not long ago, was mulcted in the sum of 94O0 for not marrying young woman after he had promised to do so. His at- torney, seeking for a reduction of dama- ges in the Common Pleas, declared that 94OO was more than all the property the defendant had in the world. But, un- fortunately, it had appeared in evidence that the farmer, while paying his courts to the plaintiff, had told her that he was worth s2,000. This admission did not help his case at all and all lovers who are not sure of keeping their word are warned to be careful how they boast about their property,

SENATE.

The appropriation bill for the Pacific Mail Steamship line, increasing the ! amount to $1 ,000, ,O00, passed with slight amendments. The Senate also voted to increase by various sums the subsidies for the mail service with Brazil, for the line between San Francisco and Austra- lia, and for that between New Orleans and certain Mexican ports. An amend ment by MT. Casserly requiring the Pa- cifie Mail line, as condition of the pro- posed increase, to continue it's line be- tween San Francisco and New York by way of the Isthmus of Panama, was also passed.

Amendment after amendment was offered, agreed to or rejected, most of the votes being very close. and requiring the casting vote by the Vice-President.

TEMBER.-Mr. Curtis in the Farmers Club said, I lately learned by accident @ thing I would have given $1OO to have known last Summer, namely, that when laying down floor timbers which are likely to gather dampness, as are those of stables, barns, and other outbuild ings, it is an excellect practice to cover them an inch on the upper side with fine salt. A gentleman in Brooklyn tells me that he always does this when construct ing piers, and that actual experiment proves that it increases their durability hundred per cent. Mir. Ely-It used to be customary, and is yet, suppose, to salt every ship while on the stocks, for the purpose of keeping away dry rot. MT. Colton-In some places they bore holes in sticks of timber, fill with salt, and plug close, but I am satisfied that it is just as we'll, if not better, to season thoroughly and soak in tar.
