A SECRET FOB LADIEs.-Oatmeal is
good for something besides food. All
Young ladies who desire white hands will
please hearken. 1t Is only necessary 10
sleep in pair Of bOxipg.glovcs, and for
q bath oatmeal Is excellent. II eCOnom-
ically inclined, and country bred, il can
be fed 10 the horses and cattle as an oat-
meal mash, after being used. That will
be hereafter one of the advantages ol the
country" Oatmeal contains o small
amount Of oil that Is good lcr the skin.
To make the hands soft and whito ono OF
the best things Is to wear OF night large
mittens Of cloth filled with wet bran or
oatmeal, and tied closely at the wrist. A
lady who had the sOItest, whitest hands
In the country confessed that she had u
great deal oil homework to do, and kept
them white as any idler's by wearing
bran mittens every night The pastes
and poulticas for the lace owe most ol
their efficiency TO their moisture, which
dissolves tho old coarse skin, and 10 theil
protection from tho air, which allows the
new skin 10 become tender and delicate
Oatmeal paste is as efficacious as any
thing, though less agreeable than the
pastes made with the white oi egg, alum
and rose water. The alum astringes tht
flesh and makes It firm, while the egg
keeps 1t sufficiently soft, and the rose
water perfumes the mixture and make!

THE Pittsburgh Gazette expects the de-
velopment ofcholers there about the 10th
of August, upon tho theory that the dis
ease usually follows water courses and
that 1t travels at the ratio of about ten
miles day. The Gazette remarks:
at has been noticed in the past, and is
probably true, that when our manuiac'
tories have been in full operation, the WIS.,
.itation Of cholera has always been lighter
than when they were not actively EN-
ployed. Tho philosophy Of 1t Is, prob
ably, that the smoke Is an absorbent,
while the sulphur exGrts purifying IN
fluence on the atmosphere. Our mills arc
moderately active, which is, so lar, favor
able. But We call attention to this sub
ject not to needlessly alarm, yet 10 say
that the real battle with cholera has not
yet come to our doors. Ithas yet 10 pre-.
sent Itself. Therefore any relaxation ol
vigilance for three weeks to come will be
extremely unwisc."

SPAIN.

BAYoNNE, July 22.-The news received
here through the Carlists concerning The
insurrectton at Carthagena, throws addi-
tonal light on the detection Of the Span.
ish squadron in that part which was
made subject to the government decree,
and the vote In the Cortes. The Insur.
gents after gaining control oil tho city,
seized Castillo De Las Galeras, a stropg
fort on the west side Of tho harbor, less
than q thousand yards from the entrance,
which 1t commands completely. This
gave them control Of the two lower bat
teries, on shore at the mouth OF the har.
Dor. They hoisted the red flag OF
the Commune over those iortifcatlon
and summoned the squadron lying In the
l'hArbor t0-sHiFenaer. The crowds were
In sympathy with the Insurgents, snd. The
vessels fell into their hands without on
position. Tho chief command OF the
squadron Is now entrusted To PoSas, who
led the insurrGction in the naval arsenal
at Ferral, in the province OF Corunna
some months ago. The vessels thus
taken by tho insurgents are the Victoria,
iron.clad, twenty.f0ur guns. Numancia,
iron.clnd, twenty-five guns, Tetuar, IRON
clad, forty guns, Almanac, screw irigatc,
torty.eight guns, and the steamers Fer
nando, ElcatHlico, Fcrrolana, and BlascO
Garay, which arc not classified. The four
first named vessels Gre among the finest
in the Spanish Navy.

ment dispatched TO Carthagena to aid in
quelling the outbreak there has mutiDied

diGrs. The Republican troops at Ciraugin
surrendered 10 the Carlists on condition
that their lives should be spared. In
spite Of the terms Of the surrender the
Carlists shot q number of them after they
had delivered up their arms.
Don AphonsO has sent TO the Spanish
Government formal proposition for the
arrangements Of COrtel Tor an exchange

its loyalty TO the National Government.

alleged, as tho beginning Of new era Tor
tho Argentine Republic, at least that por.
ton of il which, skirting the Andes, may
safely lay claim TO the possession Of vast
mineral riches which need only labor to
insure their development. Citizens from
the western side Of the republic now here
do not fail TO boast loudly Of what riches
may yet be found In the regions made
memorable by the Famatina.Rioja dis
coVery. The Famatina Mountains, the
vicinity in which these gold mines have

EOtosi, In Bolivia, which, from about the
middle Of the sixteenth century TO near
the close Of the eighteenth, yielded, as is
supposed, together with the product OF
the gold mines Of the same district, nearly
$100,000000. The silver mines Of the
valley Of Famatina are already famous.

terest. The province OF Rioja has the
obstacle OF remoteness from the avenues
of trade and commerce and, indeed, OI
communication with the outside world,
10 contend against. It's population is very
small-probably 10000 in all-And 1t has
numerous small doCSyed towns, the prin.
cipal Of which is Riojs, It's capital, situ-
ated upon the eastern slope of the Velss-
co range, but in the wide reach Of fiat
country, and about four hundred miles to
the northeast Of Valparaiso, in Chill, be-
tween which country and 1t lie the great
Andes. It's population Is not moro than
5000. Wheat Is raised there, and there
are some expectations Of brandy and VINE;
but the trade is limited, as has been said,
by the isolated position Of the province.
It's other towns OF any note, are Chilecito
and GuandaCol, the former Of which is
tho principal town Of Famatina, the cen
tre Of the present gold discoveries and the
head quarters OF the district in which the
mines are situated. In the valley arc also
found several villages; and about these are
GENERALLY clustered tie inhabitants ol
the valley, the surface o! which, except
in tho vicinity OF tho villages, is barren.
This Is, in brief, tho description Of that re-
gion which seems about to realize the
golden dreams Of the old Spanish conquis'
tadores.
