BE The expenses of the Wharton trial, it
is estimated by some, will amount to about
$4,000, and by others to not more than 49,
900 or 20 .00O Neither estimate includes the
expenses Of the witnesses resident without the
State and who, if paid at all, will be paid by
Mrs. Wharton for expenses incurred beyond
the limits Of the State. Baltimore city fouts
the bill-Anne Arundel merely receiving and
distributing the money.

Delicate Creatures.

This is the phrase applied by His Blackness,
the Moor of Venice, to the fair ladies of Italy.
1t was the lovely complexion of Desdemona,
such radiant contrast to his own, that won
his heart, and sooth to say, every man of dis
cernment considers fair skin, like sweet
voice, ian excellent thing in woman" Now
this is charm which can be acquired. There
is beautiful and odoriferous toilet article,
known everywhere as HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM,
which literally transfgures cloudy or sallow
skin, suffusing the discolored face, neck, arms
and bosom with soft, pearly tinge, and i'm
parting to the surface smoothness and gloss
like that of polished marble. Instead of clog
ging the pores, like the sticky enamels, or con-
tracing them, and thus obstructing perspira-
ton, like the astringent cosmetics: it cleanses
the skin from all impurities and wonderfully
improves its texture. This popularity is par
ticularly appreciated by our rural bellies, who
find that the coerseness and roughness, which
country air is apt to engender, are speedily re-
moved from their faces, hands and arms, by
this delightful preparation.
