PAINTED FACES.

Mary Kyle Dallas, who knows how it
is herself" very likely, writes in the New
York Ledger as follows:
81 suppose no one with eyes in bis head
can fail to noticethat the compilations of New
York women grow more dazzling day by
dsy, and that in what is called society,"
and among people who have admission 10
the most exclusive circles,' skin Of ma
tural color is the exception rather than the
rule. WhiteDed faces, tinted cheeks and
ligs, and painted eyebrows are, in fact, too
common to attract attention nowadays.
"Of course, many of these applications
are poisonous. Every intelligent person
knows that; but, after all, that is not the
worst of the affair. The poison that is at
the root of ali this painting is worse than
any drug that could be mixed in the paint.
Its name is deception and it is kind Of
deception which works decentralization. Il
may make women who only touch them
selyec up because others do, vince to hea,
this, but the truth often masses US vince.
You are not immortal, but where woman
hood in the aggregate is pure, there Is only
exceptional painting.
Take the history of the world, since
there were such things as fashions, and you
will find that at whatever period and In
whatever place painted women have
abounded and faunted in the first soci-
ETY. that the first society was impure
in morals.
When, in reading of the habits OF any
reign, you learn that sail the ladies OF the
court used rouge read farther, and inform
yourself of the life of the king or queen,
and what the court ladies were. In times
of great purity, during the reigns of viz
tuous monarchs, the court ladies never do
anything of the sort openly. In many Of
the years that lie behind us in America, no
respectable women ever painted. That
many do low, do not doubt; but whence
co they obtain their fashion that never
originated in the mind of any heightened
woman. Purity and paint do not mate
each other Imagine painted mother with
her infant in her arms; girl lifting painted
lips to receive the holy kiss Of plighted love;
a painted quakeress; q Christian woman
bending a painted forehead toward the
communion table; 8 painted nun; Flor
ence Nightingale well rouged; or any good
woman, at any earnest work, with pearl
powder on her nose, and carmine on her
lips You cannot; yet you murmur, but in
society All, well; there must be some
thing rotten in Denmark or society would
wash its face better, and leave its eyebrows
Alone"

POLICE PICKINGS.

"Wel Vaughn, how much shall fine you
this timer" inquired the court as the famil-
lar form of John Vaughn, ESQ.,, emerged
from the'cooler, to which be had been con-
signed because of bis having endeavored to
escort few quarts of liquor homewsrds,
without the aid of jug. Mr.. Vaughn's
face flushed Cor perhaps it was flushed be-
fore), and couple of tears, of the color of
French brandy, welled up and meandered
down his fiery red nose, ziZzling in pleas
ant, CHEEKY sort of a way, as they meandeC-
ed. Mastering bis emotions, Mr.. Vaughn
replied that be thought fine of ten dollars
would be about right for this time. "AlI
right" exclaimed the court, "ten dollars it
is then. Pass back, Mr.. Vaughn" III
Bette Gillem would persist in lettering
around dram shops. The police with q
degree of interest in Der moral welfare
which cannot be too highly commended)
had warned her to keep away from those
places, but all in vain-Bettie would loiter,
and she persisted in doing her lettering in
the vicinity Of dram shops. Five dollars.
James Vinton reposed in perfect security
last night, with none to modest, or make
him afraid. Cause why? He occupied
couch within the protecting walls of the
CITY WOrkDOuSe, WneT6 no purposes retualu-
ing several days, he having used five dol
lars worth of bad language, without having
first obtained permission to do so from the
city authorities.

Death of Col. Geo. Il. GrIsham.

The Chattanooga Times of yesterday con-
tains the following notice of the death of
Col. Geo. E. Grisham, formerly of this city,
and for several years past the editor and
proprier OF the Jonesboro Flag. The Times
says:
This gentleman, the principal owner and
editor of the Jonesboro FIGg, died of chol-
era at that city at P. NJ. yesterdy.
Col. Grisham was most excellent citi-
zen, hard working conscientious journalist
and his loss will be severely felt in his sec
ton of the State. He has faced death on
many a hard contested field, was twice
brevet ed for gallant conduct during the late
war; but the bravest act of bis lite was stand
ing at his post when epidemic had scattered
The timid from the city of his residence.
II requires more courage TO face pestilence
than to charge battery, and We are prou
TO say that not one of the newspaper frater-
nifty has flinched; though Col Grisham is
not the first we have chronicled as martyrs
TO their heroism in behalf the sick and help
less.
His family and friends have our sincere
coincidence in their great bereavement.

FRANKLIN COUNTY ITEMS.

To the Union and American.
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Aug. 4.-Our Cir
cult Court has adjourned. Nothing but the
State docket was taken up; the civil suits
were all continued by general order on
the first Gay of the term.
There have been, since the first advent of
cholera at Nashville, six cases in this coun-
ty that have died, but one Of which is sup
posed to have contracted the disease here,
and be lived on the line of the Nashville
and Chattanooga RAILROAD, IS did all the
others that have died. As there was no
spread of the disease from those cases we
infer that our mountain county is above the
cholera line, as It Is above the malarial in
fluences. There are large number Of
Nashville people in our county still. When
some enterprising person builds Maxwell
House at Winchester, We will expect to
have such an invasion every summer. All
sorts Of crops are short. OCCASIONAL.

A Cr,ttcsl season.

Toward the close of the warm season the long
continued heat begins to tell upon body and

when course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters il

the stomach, sharpen the appetite, tone and
regulate the bowels, and give stesdiuess and

To the Union and American:
Being aware ofthe fidelity and ability which
the Commissioners have displayed in the
discharge of their duty, this is written with
no intention to detract from the merits of
those who are completing with the present
aBoard" for the position. But reason would
compel us to think that where men have Ia
bored so faithfully and accomplished 30 much
as Powers, Hines, and Leonard, th they
should naturally expect their efforts to be
appreciated, and as one long connected with
"Public Schools" of this county, urge upon
the good people of the 18Th district to go to
the polls on the It'll inst. and show these
gentlemen that they are willing to confde
their educational" interests to their care
and keeping. They have accomplished
much, and are so familiar with their duties
and so energetic in the discharge OF the
same that they will soon perfect the school
system. Already the finest school building
In the county stands an ornament to their
worth, and grand emblem Of their devo-
ton to duty. Much more could be said, as
the writer is familiar with these gentlemen
and their efforts, and is aetuated solely by
strong desire TO see the schools succeed.

Considerable complaint is made by oul
citizens with regard to the condition of the
street car tracks throughout the city. The
space between the rails needs filing, badly,
snd In many places the ruts alongside the
rails are so deep that pools of mud ana
Ggater form in them, and when wagon or
Buggy wheel drops into these ruts, it is ex-
tricated with difficulty. 1t is a wonder
that accidents do not occur more frequent
ly, in consequence Of the wretched condi.

TAE&ES A HEART THAT BEATS
ONLY FOB THEE
By RANDALL NJ. WEBER.
For the Union and American:
There's heart, pure heart that Is beating.
With quick fond emotions of love,
And around all my hopesit is weaving,
Wreaths chilled from some magical grove;
It's happy and free,
Full OF youths ecstacy;
And whispers while beating; Sim beating for
thee" -4,-
There's heart, kind heart that is beating,
feel that hear its soft tone,
For its throbs is as music that's ieeting,
Around me when sadly alone,
How happy to be,
With heart full of glee,
And list to it whisper "Pm beating for thee"
There's aheart, light heart, that is beating,
As frse as the bright mornings air,
That wakes al the flowers that's sleeping
And breathes forth their perfumes so fair;
How happy TO see,
A heart that's so free
Apd know that it lives and beats only for thee"
