Another word Asout the Fair.

gratitude to the popular proprietor of the
Maxwell House, Mr.. NJ. Kean, and to Mr..
Venable, for constant succession of favors,
commencing before the opening Of the Fair,
on the lst of April inst, and continuing
until the close of the Ball on Thursday night
last. They also desire us to express thanks
to Mrs. Eldridge for favOrs received.
While on this subject, we may as well say
a word about the shooting gallery, so well
conducted by Mr.. NJ. McKeOn. The silver
pitchers, given as prizes OH Tuesday and

excellent shots, We regret that Mr.. Lacy's

Lasting LOYeliness.-Twenty years
ago, when paint, pearl powder and enamel
were running the compilations and destroy
ing the health of women of fashion, HA-
CAMS MAGNOLIA BALM was brought out
as pure botanical cosmetic, guaranteed to
restore bloom and beauty TO the SKIN. From
that time to the present it has been contin-
ually rising in public estimation as the
safest and most unexceptiOnable prepara-
ton Of its class. Instead of producing an
artificial, metallic surface, like the deadly
enamels, or willing the cuticle like the pois-
Onous fluids sold under various names as
"beautifers,' it keeps the skin as soft as
velvet, renders it as smooth and glossy as
satin, and imparts to it that delicate, rosy
tinge, which is the beau ideal of complex
iOnal loveliness. This exquisite chrOmatic
effect is not transient. BY applying the
Balm daily it may be prolonged from youth
to age. A lady who purchased the first bot
tie of this article nineteen years ago, writes
to say that her complexion at forty is "purer,
clearer and more brilliant than it has ever
BEEN" and she attributes its beauty solely
to the daily use of HAGAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM. apo eod1w&w1t

The International.
Mr.. COchTane, member from the Isle OF
Wight, denounced the International Society,
and asserted that the orders to burn Paris
and massacre the hostages held by the
Commune emanated from the central body
of InternatiOnals in London. He de-
manded that the Government respect the
representations of other powers that Eng
land was the asylum Of the Internationalists.
Mr.. Eastwick, member from Penryn,
also protested against allowing England
to become the refuge of the political agita-
tors of tine world. He characterized the
publications of the International Society as
revolutionary and blasphemOus, and de-
clared them liable to suppression under the
law.
Henry Fawcett, the member for Brighton,
defended the society. 1t principles were
not revolutionary; It was designed to pro-
tect women and children in factories, and
destroy monopOlies.
Other members spoke in defence of the
Trades Union, with which it was charged
the International Society was allied.

EnfOrlunRfR.

Two young gentlemen of this city met
with an unfortunate accident night before
last few miles from the city. They had
been visiting, and returning home the horse
they were driving was frightened by the
lightning which caused him to run away,
upsetting the buggy and ditching the young
men, one of whom had his left ankle Sc
verely sprained. The loss i'll personal APP
parel was much gTeater-lwO stove-pipe
hats, a new coat and a pair Of lavender
pants being damaged so badly as to be Un-
fit for future were. The horse ran about a
mile before upsetting the buggy and becon-
ing entangled in the harness was thereby pre-
vented from going farther. After cutting
some Of the harness buckles of, the animal
was freed from his lhraldOm, and led to the
city by the young men, who presented a
dOleful appearance. They had to stand all of
the rain, and one Of them has not been
able since TO pull his boots on. The buggy
was badly splintered, and is now being re-
paired at 4 carriage shop. We did not learn
G) the names Of the unfortunate gentle
men.

Case Of Self Defense.

The negro man Wallace, who last Thurs
day night, in South Nashville, shot and
killed another negro named Abe Townsend,
as stated by us yesterday morning, yester-
day afternoon appeared Col trial before JUS
tees Wilkinson, Paul, Campbell and Ever
EFT, who, after patient hearing of the tes-
timony, announced their judgment that it
was a case of self defense, whereupOn the
accused was released. The testimony dis
tinctly established the fact that the deceased
had repeatedly threatened TO kill Wallace,
while there was nothing to show that the
latter had done anything more than defend
himself when assaulted.

Aea1heridan Iiterarv socIetv

The dramatic entertainment of the
Agatheridan Literary Society, in Masonic
Hall, last evening, was largely attended not
withstanding the unprOpitiOusness Of the
weather The intellectually of the au-
deuce, conspicuous, was far superior to that
of those audiences generally which attend
dramatic exhibitions under ordinary cir
cumstances. Almost extreme youth and
old age were vis-a-vis. The aspect of con-
trasting bright cOlors in spring millinery no.
ticeably added TO the cheeTtulness of the
general scene.
The programme embraced three pieces,
.His Last Legs" "The Irish Tiger" and
'tBOx and Cox" with the interlude Of a
waltz by the Cadet Cornet Band after the
first piece. The actors were G. 5. b., c.
p. c., F. NJ. F., j. A. NJ, w. =. R., L. c.,
5. e. R., G. w. H., 5. Y. T., and l.. b. NJ.
New. 1t is but proper to remark that in
the rendition of the first piece there was
considerable indistinct articulation, not due
to the fact that the young gentlemen did not
possess powerful enough voices, bat to eV-
identity unprecedented carelessness or a
want in the exercise of that precision
that distinguishes the highly cultivated pro-
feSsiOnal from the amateur. But there is
no ItdSOn WHY Tic iucluutlS Vi u literary
society of high order Of merit ought not
to become experts i'll what they undertake
to do publicly. A complaint of theatre
managers generally is that their stock
actors are not by any means too
intelligent. But this cannot be said
of the members composing the Agatheridan
Literary Society. 1t viii Of course be borne
in mind that this criticism is in no other
than the most friendly spirit. A newspa-
per that has nothing but fulsOme flattery to
lavish, even when inappropriate, is of no
benefit to the public or those who essay the
actors profession.
Tie waltz rendition rightly was encOred.
The appearance of S. c. r. playing one of
the large brass instruments in female attire,
S. /. T. the snare drum attired in the
same manner, and G. w. H., the bass
drum in like apparel, looked very much as
though the teachings of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were bear
ing fruit, and strOng-minded women had
come and taken their rights in the must
clans profession. The entertainment was
not concluded until a late hour.

Bohr, who has been appointed President OF
the Fest, was an old compatriot Of Mr..
Schurz in AS, and will meet him in Cincin-

son, there is every reason to believe that he
will be induced TO come here

MISSION Of GhostiY inquiry.

Another party of fearless aud adventur-
Gus spirits last night visited the much
talked of haunted house, in the firm deter
mination to solve the mystic problem to its
very bottom, or nobly perish in that highly
Dmmendable effort. The extent of their OBJ
servations is as yet known only to them
selves, nor is it settled that a knowledge
thereof is important to the welfare and
happiness of an incredulOus public.
