STEREoTYPED SMILES.-Beware OF
man or woman with fixed smile.
Trust the most hideous scowier before
the being who goes about with an
angelic grin carefully exhibited to all
ewes under any and every circum
stance. 1t is not natural 10 smile
perpetually, and no one ever assumes
a mask without being conscious OF a
Necessity for concealment. Don't mis-
understand me. There are young
women. and a few old men, who break
ont into IA smile whenever they speak.
These are not the people / mean. The
smile Of which warn you is a motion
less, hypOcritical, fixed expression,
which have seen worn during a silent
three hours journey by rail, without
the slightest alteration-that sort OF
smile Which most misguided lady ar
fists present upon their canvas when
they ,ielinea martyrs, saints and
angels. The "portrait OF a lady" has
a different smile-the fashion plate
simper--which, though seui-idiotic, is
moi dangerous. Persons OF no pener-
tration aiMde to the chronic smiless' as
so swcet:" aud any one capable oi
holding the muscles of the face under
control, is generally able to smile
sweetly, to iaove quietly. and to use
choice language, measured tones, in
moments of the greatest excitement
and so can always place better man
or woman at great disadvaTtagt
and appear injured and innocent whel
actually most guilty. Exchange.

Talk AT THE ToILET,-Every lady
maid knows that the bewitching beings
who pave their triumphant way with
conquered hearts, regard a splendid
head of hair the most effective of all
womanly destinations. They believe,
and they are right, that they can Iasso
as many beaux with the luxurious ring
lets and glossy braids as they can kill
at sight with their beaming eyes;
hence, in their toilet talk" among
themselves and with their attendants,
the merits of Preparations for the hair
are freely csnvassed, and the latest re-
suit of this discussion seems to be the
almost universal adoption Of Lyons
Kathairon as an article better adapted
to promote the growth and beauty of the
"chief glory Of woman" than any other
at present before the world. They say
that without irritating the skin Of the
head it eradicates dandruff, and that il
penetrates below the surface to the roots
of the hair, endowing them with new life
and vigor, eod-dAw

also missed his footing. They both tum-
bled into the sawdust, the little girl be-

In half an hour she appeared in the
ring as if nothing serious or unusual
had happened. These circus people
are accustomed to accidents of this
character, but to outside barbarians il

FRIeHTFUL ACCIDENT.

Prof. q. Y. Clarke, the RrOnaut At
tached TO the Crescent City CIR
ems, Falls o Distance OF seventy
| Feet.
At halfpast one o'clock to-day an i'm
mense crowd assembled on the bluffs to
witness the balloon ascension Of Prof.
Clarke, the daring eronaut The bal
loon was inflated with hot air, in the
usual manner, and Professor Clarke or
dered the men to " let CO." 1t assembled
rapidly, with the Professor hanging to
the trapeze, short distance below
The balloon rose rapidly to the hight of
four or five hundred feet, the professor
lying on trapeze bar waving white
handkerchief, as il to bid farewell to all
on earth. The balloon passed slowly in
a southern direction, and commenced
falling as it passed over Union street.
The crowd rushed in that direction,
and saw it descend rapidly on
the Jackson Block, on the cor
ner of Gayoso and Main streets. As
it neared the rear Of the building it
struck the roof and rolled over, leaving
Prof. Clarke hanging on to the ropes
against the wall, a distance of seventy
feet above the ground. He endeavored
to throw rope on the roof, but without
avail; then he placed his feet against
the wall and endeavored to Chamber up.
At this instant the rope broke and the
unfortunate man fell. He turned a
series OF somersaults as he approached
the ground, and fell with terrible force
on some iron grating in the alley in rear
of the jackson block.
He was carried into the rear of Craig
& Co.'S. seed store, and medical atten-
ton was summoned Immediately. From
hasty examination it appeared that
his legs and arms were broken, his head
badly cut; in fact, his body was crushed
in a most frightful manner. He ut
tered low groans as the physicians
were examining him, but was in an un-
conscious state. There cannot possibly
be any chance for his recovery,
As we 60 to press-half past two
o'clock-he is still living, but sinking
rapidly.

A Fif.x.osntL Libel.

A roustabout, put ashore by the officers
Of the steamer Undine, appeared be-
fore an United States Commissioner yes
terday and asked for q warrant to libel
the boat for fifty cents wages due, The
Commissioner was in quandary. The
man was entitled to his writ on making
affidavit, because the law knows no
amount, Eve cents being the same in
principle and equity as five hundred
thousand dollars. The captain was sent
for, but refused to pay, declaring he
would give bond and fight the thing to
the last on principle, claiming he did
not owe the claimant. The Commits
sioner demonstrated; the captain was
obstinate; the official stated the law,
but the boatman stuck to bis determine
ton to fight it out on that aowsor The
Commissioner dsliked to involve the
captain in a suit wherein the costs
would amount to at least fifty dollars,
exclusive of lawyers fees, est of deposi.
tons, etc., so he took fifty cents out of
his own pocket and handd it to the
claimant, who was satisfied The I'm
dine man looked queer, laughed and
said IT would have fought that thing
if it cost me hundred dollars, but l
will pay you the fifty cents, md in this
manner the big marine suit WIS compro-
missed. 4 4 N N A \
