ETRANsFORHuNG THE CoMPLExION.-
The transformations produced By Hagan's
Magnolia Balm are quite as astonishing IS
any scene on the stage of a theatre. That
famous beautifer transmutes a sallow, peaky
looking complexion into one in which the
lily and the rose vie for admiration, and i'm
parts to a dry, harsh skin the softness of
perfect lOyeliRess. Tan and freckles, which
country air and sunlight are pretty sure to
produce, in spite of paraSols and sundowns,
are completely obliterated by it; while it has
a perfectly magical effect n banishing I'M
due redness, blOtehes and pimples from the
skin. When the lady who has used it TO
remedy her comPlexional defects looks in
the mirror, she is equally astounded and
gratified at the improvements in her appear
ance. Every blemish has disappeared; her
neck, arms and bosom now rival in white
ness the snowy collar which encircles her
throat, her cheek mantles with peach-like
bloom, and she is ready to invoke blessing
on the inventor Of the article which has
wrought such delightful transformation.

Attempted Burglary.

About 2 O'Clock yesterday morning two
men attempted to enter the residence OF
James Donnelly, on the Murfreesboro pike,
near Browns creek bridge. The front part
Of the house is occupied as grocery, and
the family reside in the rear of the build
ing. Mrs. Donnelly was awakened by q
noise at her bedroom window. 1t sounded
as if some one we're pushing knife under
the sash. 1t turned out afterwards that
the implement used was a screw-driver.
She reused her husband who rushed out by
the door and ran round the house towards
the window to intercept the burglars. They
noticed this flank movement, and beat a
hasty retreat towards some trees near the
place. There they stood at bay and fired
at Mr.. Dounelly as he approached them.
The shot missed him and did not check his
advance. The burglars did not wait to fire
a second time, but ran off and succeeded in
escaping. Mr.. Donnelly was unable to
identify them. He holds the screw-driver,
which they left behind them in their haste
to escape.

LongfeIIow and Harry Rasset1.

Resurgam, correspondent of the Turf
1 Field Uld Farm, writing from Louisville
under date Of Feb. -, SAYS:
81 have il from the best authority that
LOngfellow and Harry Bassett will come to-
gether, if the owners Of the last named
really desire it. Mr.. Harper was fnter-
viewed on the subject, and he was informed
that Col. Mcdaniel offered to match Harry
Bassett against LongfeIlOw any distance
over mile for almost any amount of money,
the race to take place at Saratoga. Mr..
Harper will make no matches. His horse
will be entered in the Monmouth Cup at
Long Branch, and run in that race-no
matter what horses are there-his health
and condition permitting. And though Mr..
Harper deprecates matchmaking, he has
consented that the friends of Longfellow
shall match him against Harry Bassett a
race Of two miles, dash, or heats of two
miles, over the track at Lexington, KY"
This makes it very sure that Longfellow
and Harry Bassett will come together some
where this summer. When that event hap
pens there will be a crowd and such run
ming as has not been witnessed in this day
and generation. Bassett is undoubtedly the
best Of Lexington's get. To our eye he
looks like a Lexington colt, that was halt
brother of Muggins. Longfellow is certain
ly at the head of the Leamingtons. He has
size and power, with a stride that has not
been equalled since Peytona's day and
seems TO make it with perfect ease. When
they come together, as they will, there will
be running.

NHRaOnic Thnnfrn

There was very good attendance at the
Theatre last night, and Dominick Murray
had host Of enthusiastic admirers. The
performance commenced with the Irish
drama in three acts, written by himself en-
titled "The Rapparee," which is replete
with absorbing interest, and founded as it
is, on incidents of history, made the piece
doubly attractive. Mr.. Murray fully estab-
lished the fact, that both as author and ac-
tor, he has few equals. Well supported by
the company, too, the drama was produced
with great ecIat. The entertainment con-
Guided with the excellent farce Of Benicia
Boy, which kept the house in a perfect roar.
The set-to between Murray and Johnston
was laughable in the extreme, and the man
who couldn't enjoy the piece as rendered,
had no appreciation of genuine farce. Our
citizens should certainly turn out to see
Murray. We have had no such delineatlon of
the Irish character since the days Of John
Drew.

Batenhour VS.. Germania Insurance Com
pany. When ina policy of insurance pro-
vision was made that in case of death by
the party's own hands the policy should be
void, held that these latter words, cor death
blythe parties own hands," were merely
explanatory Of the word ''suicide," and not
intended to make two independent and
distinct provisions. Held further that the
party took bis own life when he was inca
pable of distinguishing the moral quality of
his act, though he knew that the
act would produce death. The policy,
therefore, was not avoided.
