w. H. EFFINaER, Eso-It affords rs peculiar
pleasure TO record the promising future that is
opening up on the Pacific slope to our gifted
young friend. W. H Efinger, Esq, as indicated
in the following notice in the last Harrisonburg
Commonwealth:
We are pleased to note the fact that VIM. H,
Efingcr, Esq, former editor of this paper and
member of our Bar, who some months since re-
moved to Portland, Oregon, has already attained
prominent position as lawyer in his new home.
In noticing Mr.. FINGERS speech in the murder
trial of the State vs.. Gilfoy, the Morning Orego~
man says Especially, we remarked. that but
seldom have we heard more able learned or
eloquent argument made in court than that by
Mr.. Efinger, who has lately arrived in Portland.
His remarks elected the most profound attention
Of all present, and many eyes other than those of
the prisoner, were suffused with tears during his
speech" This well m erited compliment will be
very gratifying to Mr.. Efnger's numerous
friends. We are no surprised at the success Of
our old associate and friend. He is a man of a
high order of intelligence, and if Ike chooses
fame and fortune are within his easy grasp

'.Some three months since DR.. 4. V. Pierce, o.
Buffalo, N. Y, commenced advertising in the
Whig an article called DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy.' We believed at that time it one OF the
many catch penny arrangements to swindle PEG
pie out of their money, but during the past few
weeks have become convinced to the contrary.
We know of several prominent citizens who have
suffered from that loathsome disease 'Catarrh,
and they pronounce DR. Sages Remedy no huns

cured. We desire to give DR.. Pierce the benefit

BEAUrYs BEST Aux1LARY.-Ask the belle of
the season what appointment of her toilet-table
hold the highest place in her esteem, and she
will reply, without moments reflection, Ha-
gan's Magnolia Balm. Nothing, she is thorough
ly aware. contributes powerfully to enhance
her charms and render her irresistible as that
most delightful and healthy auxiliary of Beauty.
BY using it ladies arc enabled, long after they
have passed the meridian of life, to preserve the
youthful bloom and purity Of their compilations,
and where nature has denied that superlative at
traction, the Balm fully compensates for her de-
fciencies.

MUSICAL ENTERTA1NMENT.-The Masonic Choir
of the District of Columbia gave concert at the
D. D. & B. Institution last Monday night which
in all its appointments was a success. The audi
ence in attendance was the largest we have seen
at the Institution this season, and from the quiet
and good order prevailing we judged that the
impression produced upon them was what it
was upon ourselves, that of unmixed pleasure.
1t is very seldom that the opportunity is offered
in this or any other city of hearing such treat.
Forty well trained, and selected male voices,
highly educated and drilled, accompanied by q
stringed band whose performers are all adopts );
all governed and directed by such leader as
MIR. Bradley, produce an impression in the must
cal line. not quickly to be forgotten
Not knowing the gentlemen taking part in the
performance we of course cannot point out any
particular excellence of any particular one, and
indeed we think that in q musical entertainm ent
this is a feature denoting excellence that the
concord of sweet sounds" is so perfect that like
the stones that go to make the most stately edi
fee, it is impossible to particularize. Wherever
these gentlemen may go, and we understand they
will visit Lexington and the White Sulphur, the
neonle NAV look for rich treat and we advise
them by all means to attend
The party, numbering some sixty, made an
excursion to Weyer's Cave and the Cave of Forn'
tains the next day, in five four horse coaches, be-
longing to Hartman & Co.
They are all gentlemen of the most improved
masonic stamp and seem to enjoy their trip in
the true masonic style. The grand master of the
District of Columbia, Mr.. Slrawsbery, is with
the party. 1t will be remembered that he is the

Il. Haines has just moved into neat two

handsomest brick residences in the city. On
Frederick street, Mr.. J. A. Logan will put
up another two story brick, with stores in the
basement. On the old National Hote Stable
site, Col. Harmau is preparing to have erect
ed handsome brick dwelling. It is his
purpose also, to build a large biick stable
near the Virginia Hotel to be used as iy-

Besides these which are suggested to us

OF j.. IL. Blackley, opposite the American

and the heavy timbers ready for the struct-

growth of our city.

Where are the BeauI

From all the watering-placcs come feminine
cries of Indignation and touching appeals for
more frequent escorts Of the male persuasion.
What Can have got into the men? In the

hundreds OF blooming and attractive bellea,
signing for alteration and filtration, and re-
fusins to be comforted because they are not.
Alone, or in awxwardly assorted groups, they
Chamber over the tlresome ridges, quaff dismal
draughls, or essay the surglng surf. In vain
do thu lovely but neglected creatures receive
new costumes Galy from the metropolis, each
one more marvellous than its predecessor; In
vain do they invent distracIing colffures and
procure picturesque phaetons and ponies, and
In vain do they attempt TO probe The mascn-
line heart by adopting new and unique styles
of dress. Accounts glowing with descriptions
Of gypsy hats, flowing tresses and snshes tied
jaunlily just over the liver, are indlted by the
benevolent correspondents but fail TO arouse
the "brutes" from their torpor. Some Of the
derellcLs are, OF course, cynical or impeCunl-
ous, or both; while others ure doubtless i'm.

with relaxations in the shape Of yachting or

fact remains, and the ladies' eyes-those ar

.The Organizer OF Victory"

The first volume OF The report OF General
iVoh Mollke on The Prussian plan OF cam
paien in the recent war with France has just
been published. 1t shows what we oil knew
before, that Prussia was fully prepared for
the contest It tells US, however, more than
this. 1t exhibits to us some OF the secret
and efficient equipment, the thoroughly
studied and sklfully laid plans, the topogra-
phical knowledge OF the French border, and
the complete Information acquired OF the
capacity OF the railroads Of France, the
state OF her army, and its places OF project
ed concentration. The whole scheme OF the
war was worked out in Won MoLke's closet
with the accuracy OF o mathematical prob.
lem. On the side OF Prussia all was, from
the beginning, clear. plain and known; on
the side OF France all was confusion, which,
utter the first onset, became ''worse con-
"founded," darkness and official blindness.
1t is to be hoped that General Won Moltke,
now an old man, may live to finish his his
tory OF this wonderful campaign. No other
hand but that OF The man who so nbly
planned it could adequately describe it.

.The Party" in Convention.

To the average American, accustomed to
regard the political institutions OF his coun-
try as decided improvement upon those OF
other lands and by-gone times, the so-called
Republican State Convention, now in ses-
sion at Columbia, must present deeply
humiliating spectacle. There is 6ody
which undeniably holds in its hands the for-
tunes of South Carolina for Two years to
come. No candid and intelligent man OF
any party will pretend to deny that the pre-
valius character OF the Convention is iSno-
rance controlled by corruption. 1t contains
absolutely no representation OF the inteiii.
gence, the public virtue or the properly OF
The State. No man OF stainless integrity
can hope for preferment ut its hands, and
the chances, at this writing, see.l to be that
its choice for Governor will foil upon The
very worst of notoriously bad gang, But
il is some consolation 10 know that the ex-
lpected action OF this precious Convention,
however it may affect our own unfortunate
State, must seal the fate OF what is called
the Republican party of tue South. The
pranks of our sable Legislature, and the
shameless robberes OF our rascally Ring,
which have so long been stencil in the
nostrils of the Nation, will find their lifting
climax now in the nomination OF Mr.. +. J.
Moses, Jr., for the Chief Magistracy OF South
Carolina.
