The Secret Of Captivation, n,-Festur-
es OF Grecian mould, a well-turned neck
and beautifully rounded arms, are no
doubt very nice things to have, and la
dies who possess these charms haye rea-
son to be thankful to Mother Nature;
yet, after all, the most captivating OF all
womanly eharms is q pure, fresh and
brilliant complexion. This superiative
fascination any lady may secure by u.s.
ing HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM, the
standard beautifying preparation of the
present age. II differs from all ordinary
cosmetics in three most essential par
ticulars, inasmuch as it contains no in
furious ingredients, does not contract or
shrivel the skin as all the astringeDt
"biooms," lotions" and "po, dersn
eventually do, bat produces lasting
loveliuess by improving the health Of
the skin. Under its operation the tex
ture Of the edipermis becomes finer, and
the snrface soft as velvet aud smooth as
porcelain. Features cannot be changed,
but compile xions can. and it is quite
certain that lady with no other charm
than fresh and rosy complexion, will
attract more admiration In company
than her neighbor with classic face

CUBA.
INC Reign OF IlIootI.

The recent news from Cuba is a most
startling character, and is well calcula-
ted to chill the blood with horror.
The Cleveland Herald, iii alengthy
article reviewing Spanish erueities on
that island, among other things. says:
The latest news from Cuba Is of a
character to chill the blood with hor-
ror. Vaimaseda, who is desirous of
meriting his title Of "the butcher,n has
Issued a,,pfoc exclamation more.b blood Thirsty
than any of its predecessors. Itnpa-
tieDt at the obstinaey of the Cubans in
not reeognizin :. the revolution as sup
pressed, In spite OF his Numerous an
neuncements to that effect, he proclaims
that after the fifteenth of Janu-
ary a general and indiscriminate
Islaugheter of the RevOlutionists will be
commenced. Every one captured after
that date is to be shot, without distinc-
after that date viii be doomed to per-
pet1A Imprisonment. Negro women
will be delivered to their owners and
compelled TO wear a chain. for four
years. White women are to be BAN
ished. Cuban freedom is to be stamp
ed out with an iron heel, and the Queen
of. the Antilles stretched a CORY corpse
at the feet Of the Spanish butchers.
I Such proclamation is acrime against
humanity, and we cannot believe that
it will be permitted to go without a
protest from the civilized nations of the
earth. If Spain endorses that action of
Valmaseda she will forfeit all claim to
consideration, and slightest pretext for
wrenching Cuba from her bloody grasp
will be considered sufficient in the eyes
of the civilized people. We have no
desire that our Government should
overstep the bounds of international
law, but ih the name ofhumanity we
hope it viii seize the first colorabfe op-
portunity for intervening to save the
bounded Cubans from the fangs of the

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is 'thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Viger can only
benefit but not harm it IF wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

The death Of Jim, Fisk by the hand

NEW YORK CITY.



New YORK, July l0.-Gratz Brow n
arrived here yesterday on his way to
New Haven, to take part in the COM
mencement exercises at Yale. He de-
clares his intention OF speaking and
taking part in the campaign. He re,
ports the situation as most encouraging,
and the work OF organization in Wash
ington a. complete. So
The Way ulysses the First is 10 be
Perpetuated.
|. A Tribune special from Baltimore
says it is stated, on excellent authority
that the United States Marshal oi
North Carolina left Washington for
the South, Yesterday, with two hundred
thousand dollars in Government funds,
drawn from the Treasury ostensibly to
pay the expenses of the United States
Courts. Prominent Conservatives now
here from North Carolina charge that
the greater part OF this unusually large
sum has been appropriated by the Grant
officeholders for election purposes in the
State campaign now in progress.

The worlds Comments on the Stu.
alton.
The World OF this morning comments
on the proceedings at Baltimore, yes
terday, and says: The Greeley tide
sweeps everything before it, as all in
telligent men foresaw it would as soon
as the delegates we're chosen. Of real
deliberation there has been none and
will be none. Greeley will be nomi.
mated to- day, and might as easily have
been yesterday, without a respectable
show of opposition. As the Convention
decides to accept Greeley, it is wise not
to ask his assent to declaration that,
though embodying Democratic views,
might not suit Republicans. Tomorrow
we shall be compelled to announce
Greeley and Brown as the regular Dem
ocratic candidates. and although we
should have preferred others, we have
no hesitation 10 saying that we think
them altogether preferable to the cor
rupt officeholders of Philadelphia.
