A PoLYGLOT BUsINEss.-The widespread
influence of American skill and enterprise has
outstripped the comprehensions of the Amer
leans themselves. The fabrics of our mills
clothe the savages of both continents. They
wrap tne loins of Africa, and the tawny skins
of South American pampas. But wider still
are spread the products of our skill in medi-
cines. A late visit to DIR. j. G. Aver & Co.'S
laboratory and office in Lowell, showed us that
the whole surface of the inhabitable globe pays
its tribute there; there they cater to and serve
the requirements of all nations. Their publica-
tions are in the many tongues that widely-sev-
cred peoples use. Their letters must be read
from and written in many tongues, for which
there sit long range of correspondents with
the indispensable accomplishments for their
duties. Their daily mail of half bushel Of
letters brings them advices, orders and remit
tances from the circle Of the world We were
overwhelmed with amazement, and our read
ers would be by an inspection of this wonder
fully extensive, health-dealing enterprise.

LASTING LovELINEss.-Twenty years ago,
when paint, pearl powder and enamel, were
running the compilations and destroying the
health of women of fashion, HAGAN's MAGNo-
Liza BALM was brought out as a pure. botanical
cosmetic guaranteed to restore bloom and
beauty to the skin. From that time to the
present it has been continually rising in public
estimation as the safest and most exceptional
preparation of its class. Instead of producing
an artificial metallic surface, like the deadly
enamels, or whiting the cuticle like the poison
GUS fluids sold under various names as ''beau-
filters, 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
the beau ideal of complexional loneliness. 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 bottle of the article nineteen years ago,
writes to say that hercomplexion at forty is
'purer, clearer and more brilliant than it has
ever been;" and she attributes it to HAGAN's

DEATH OF PORTLAND MAN.-John f.
Rich, son of Samuel S. Rich of this city, died
at Ware, Massachusetts, Sunday at the early
age of thirty-fve years. Mr.. Rich had been a
member of the journalistic profession since his
youth, trying his prentice hand, we believe, in
this city Lately he had been connected with
the Boston Aduertiser, and with a newspaper
published in the town where he died. 1t is
thought his death was induced by the active
exertions in the Presidential campaign, in
which he has taken prominent part.
