BOTTLES FULL OF BEAUTY.-Ladies. If
you would have beauty by the bottIe-full.
all you have to do is to purchase Hagan,s
Magnolia Balm. That peerless beautifier
OF the complexion not only heightens nat
ural charms, but renders even the pIainest
countenance exceedingly attractive. 1t
recalls to the pallid cheek the rosy tinge of
health, removes pimples, blotches, rough
ness, sallowness and other blemishes. and
lmparts to the skin a most delicate fair
ness ana softness 1t smoothes the fur
rows caused by time or care, and gives
iace, neck ana arms the plump and engage
ing appearance of youthful beauty. All
this is accomplished by the most natural
means, viz: by gently and naturally slim
uiatlng the circulation in the capillary
plood vessels. Besides being the most eff
ieetual aid to beauty known to modern
science.

TIE BLOCK Coal FIELDS OF INDIANA.
AS has been intimated by CraWfOrls-
vile (Ind.) correspondent, the block
coal of Western Indiana is coming rap
idly into notice. and the thorough tests
applied to it prove it to be most valua-
bic fuel in the manufacture Of iron and
Bessemer steel. 1t has even excited no
tice among English irOn-masters. 1t is
said that under their direction. already
careful analyses Of the coal have been
made, and that the results are in a high
degree satisfactory. Already capitalists,
East and West, are moving in the mat
ter of erecting works to make steel with
this fuel. Several railways now con-
verge on these rich coal fields, or cross
them, to give access to market. Both
the Terre H&ute roads cross them. and
other roads are being built to reach
them Within few months the LO-
ganspOrt, Charlottesville and Southwest
ern Railway has reached the block coal.
Indeed, it comes close to the hills in
which is found a very superior bitumin-
GUS coal, which is likely to be valuable
for the manufacture of gas, as also for
fuel; and twenty-five feet below this is
tn" famous block coal stratum. The
road which reaches these rich deposits
has easy connections west, northwest,
north and east, and is already carrying
the coal TO market in considerable guam
titles. These coal mines and the sand
stone qua"ries must prove the source Of
large income to the road named
The papers Of Indiana state that re
cently a company of scientific gentle
men, including the State Geologist, Prof
Cox, Prof. Foster of Chicago, Prof. Ho-
vey and Col. Darlington of Wabash col
lege, and others, visited these coal fields
and sandstone Quarrics in Parke county,
which are reached by the Logansport.

way, and that they make a very fayora-

ity Of both the coal and building stone.

General Stannard i'm TrOuble--A
Deficit i'm His Accounts of Nearly
Forty Thousand Dollars.
BURLINGTON, Vt, April 16.
HOW IT WAS FOUND OUT.

HOW IT WAS FOUND OUT.
Some of the citizens ofthis place were
/ greatly shocked yesterday when they
learned that Gen. George J. Stannard
is a dcfaulter to the government in the
sum of more than $4,000 Gen. Stan
nard is the Customs Revenue Collector
for the district of Vermont, and has fill
ed the Office for six years The exact
perid during which this abstraction of
funds has been going on is not yet eX-
planned, if that has been ascertaincd. 1t
is stated that for some tiAhe the Collec-
tor has been in arrears in his payments
to the government. About a week ago
a special agent of the Treasury Depart
mcnt was sent to examine his accounts
The result of this investigation is the
development of the deficiency. tits now
nearly two years since there has been a
settlement between the Collector and
the government, That was at the end
of his first term of Office, when his Off
cial accounts were found to be all
right.
GEN. STANDARDS ANTECEDENTs.
Gen. Stannard was in the fOundery
business at the beginning of the war, in
St. Adams, and went at once into the
military service. He was accounted a
good business man before the war In
the war he made a very popular, gallant
and efficient officer. He rose to the
rank of General, and lost an arm at Fort
Harrison, before Richmond where he be-
haved with conspicuous gallantry. His
command was among the troops surren-
dered at Harper's Ferry by Col. Miles,
but Stannard vehemently condemned
that act of cowardice or treachery. In
view or his brilliant record as soldier,
and his disability, he was recommended
for the office which he yet holds.
SOME DOUBTS ABOUT HIM.
At the end of his first term a strong
movement was made against him, and
charges were also preferred by citizens
supported by sworn affidavits. The Sc
cretary of the Treasury was much in
iiucnced by these papers. But Senator
Edmunds and other friends of Gen.
Stannard felt great confidence in him.
and he was retained.
WHAT THE OFFICE Is WORTH.
The income Of the position is said to
have been about $4,000 per year, dur
ing the first four years of Mr.. STANDARDS
term, and not less than $4,000 per year
during the last two. So that in the six
years he has drawn and used, in the
whole, between 100000 and 100000
HIS BONDS-THE GOVERNMENT SAFE.
He is reported to be unable to give
any information as to the way in which
the funds have been spent. He is not
believed to have any property to make
good the deficit His bondsmen are
Hon. Lemuel B. Plat and Hon. Romeo
II. Hoyt, in the sum of $4,000, so that
the government will lose nothing in the |
end
THE WAY TIE NEWS Is RECEIVED.
The deficit is received here with as
as there was nothing in the |
habits or style of living of Gen. Stan
nard to excite the suspicion of his living
so far beyond his income. His fellow |
citizens look upon the proof of his NAL
conduct with sincere regret. As the af-
sair was not understood till yesterday,
he course which may be taken is not
yet known.

About three weeks aro there suddenly

About three weeks ago there suddenly
appeared on window pane in San Francis
co the picture of mans face. The report
of the ghostly apparition caused great cx-
citement. Thousands went to see it, and
finally an enterprising Snowman, the Barnum
of the city, bought it for $3.50. The next
day spiritual photographs on window panes
were plenty. There were masculine faces
and female faces and dog fac;s, and pictures
of roses and various other things, and they
were all offered for sale at $3.50 piece. The
market was overstocked. Th-excess ofsup-
ply killed the demand entirely. !. see that
the same wonderful manifestation is now oc-
curing at Salt Lake City. The window
pancs there are blossoming into lifc:like
portraits-two or three of them to pane
When the maker has rcaped harvest by
the popular crcdulity, he will probably come
farther East, and by next summer we may
expect to hear of wonderful portraits of pco-
pie burned to death in Chicago appearing
on windows of the buildings which will by
hat time cover their graves.

ahd why were they not all sold on a basis of
70 cents to the dollar and when were they
issued and sold are questions concerning
which the Governor is silent. As to the
second justification, we admit that at that
time the Republican party had just come
into power with an overwhelming majority;
that the bankers Of New York city knew
this fact. that it was also within their khowl-
edge that there was no reasonable possibility
that the Democratic party would come into
power in South Carolina for many years
to come; that they were also cognizant of the
fact that the entire property of the State
was bound to pay all bonds issued under au-
thority of the State Legislature, and that the
Legislature was in full accord with the Gov
ernor and his administration, and had the
power to create an issue ofState Bonds for
any purpose of State Government whatever.
Knowing these things, how can Governor
Scott seek to make the people believe that
the New York Bankers were afraid to touch
State Bonds? How did he manage to inter-
est Mr.. Cameron in behalf of his missiony if
Mr.. Cameron of this State, (and an influential
man among the New Workers, it being thro'
him that the loan was effected } whose prop
orty would be taxed to help pay the loans,
did not know that the bonds were good, and
that he could advise his friends to invest in
them without fear ofrepuliation
