'E'EEE SPANESEa WAR.

The tide of war IN Spain, says the
Philadelphia Times, at the present
time sets decidedly aud heavily against
the Carlists. General Cabrela'5 de-
lection dispirited the forces Of Don
Carlos. and the defeat at Huguet was
another vet blank upon the hopes Of
the Preterd4r and his friends aud ad-
herents. In add ton to this. General
Mendiri ha left the army ard entered

not known. He i oppressed to Aifonzo,

insulated Bedsteads for Rheu-
matism.

Dr.Wagenhols Of Columbus, Ohio,
recently read an article before q
medical society, in which he stated
that three years ago he was severely
afflicted with rheumatism in ankle
and knee joints. He treated himself
in the ordinary alopathic manner,
with alkalies, Opiates, etc and was
unable to leave his bed for three
months, and did not wholly recover
until the next Summer. The next
Winter he WAS attacked again, and
considered himself fortunate
under the same treatment-in being
able to hobble about with a cane in
two months, The third Winter,
FEBRUARY, 1874, he was seized again,
and suffered more fearfally than on
either of the previous attacks. De.
prived of sleep for three nights, he
concluded. on the third morning, to
have his bed insulated. The legs of
the bedstead were placed in four
glass tumblers, after which he fell
into profound sleep, and woke the
next morning bathed in a profuse,
warm perspiration, and without the
aid of drugs or anodynes. He
steadily and rapidly improved, and
in just week from the day of the
attack he was journeying pleasantly
to Cincinnati without any aches or
soreness about him. If this treat
ment is 50 etbcacious it certainly
ought to become more generally
known. Dr.. Wagenhols says his
own experience is fully corroborsted
by communications in his possess
ion from various gentlemen of worth
and eminence in their profession.

last summer, nor, satisfied with the
terrible diasters on the Texas coast,
last week, the Professor is again on
hand with another spell of bad
weather. He writes as follows to q
gentleman in Louisville.
st. Louis, September 25th, 1875.
The terrible storm at Galveston
and lndianoia on the very day, 18th,
indicated in the books, has aston
ished people. Let them look out for
the weather from the 9th to the 22d
Of October, only regret I did not
put in the III day period, indicated
in the book on pages 137, 1872, and
l63. l am convinced it will bring
storms equally as violent as the Vul-
canian period in the book, and that
planet revolves in twenty three
days, while in the book it is assum-
ed to be in forty-six days. That
period comes around on the 2Sth of
this month, and again on Oct. 21.
1t bears what it brings about. Res
pectfully, JOHN H TIcE.

us for q while? Think Ot violent
storms all the way from the 9th to

what Is LOveliness9


1t is not in pearl powder, nor in
golden hair-dye, nor in jeWelry. 1t
cannot be got in bottle or a box.
1t is pleasure to be handsome; but
all beauty is not in prettiness.
There is higher beauty that makes
us love people tenderly. Eyes, nose,
hair, or skin never did that yet,
though it is pleasant to see fine fea-
lures. What you are will make
your face ever for you in the end,
whether nature has made it plain or
pretty. Good people are never ILL
looking. Whatever their faces may
be, an amiable expression atones
for ali. If they can be cheerful also
no one will love them the less be-
cause their features are not regular.
or because they are too fat or too
thin, too pale, or too dark. Cultiva-
tiOn of the mind adds another charm
to their faces, and, ou the whole,
if any girl is desirous of being liked
by many and and loved by the one,
it is more in her power than she
may believe to accomplish that OBJ
ject. Cosmetics will not accom- plish
it however. Neither will fine dress,
though woman that does not dress
becomingly wrongs herself Fore
ed smiles and affected amiability
will be of no avail: but if she can
manage to feel kindly to everybody,
not to be jealous, not to be
cross, to be happy if possible, and
to encourage eontentment, then
something will come into her face
that will Outlast youths roses, and
gain her not only husband but a
lifelong lover.

True Flirts And False.

When a clown follows the will-o-
the-Wisp % his discontinue, we
blame the foolish man, and not the
misguiding light. And so, if the
men will be so vain and unthinking
as to imagine that every pleasant
woman adores them because she
does not snub them, and designs to
marry them because she vouch-
safes to chat, whose fault is il when
presumptuous lover is told, with
cold politeness, that his position Is
that of friend only?
The real mistake cons nsists in con-
ceiving nothing between the sexes
but love. People rush into the er-
ror that a woman must be either
discOurteous to a man or in love
with him; the possibility of her en-
tertsining q proper and healthy
friendship for fifty of the opposite
sex never seems TO strike the world.
Now the so-called fiirt is eminent
ly free from all the charges that are
usually alleged against her. She is
open and undisguised. Her affabFl-
ity is known and commented on,
from the fact that she converses
without hesitation and laughs with
out restraint" there is no conceal
ment, no attempt at restraint, no
affectation or reserve.
The really designing woman is Of
another cast. Her plots are darkly
laid and darkly carried out; her de-
meanOr staid, and her style ire
proachable. She gives a side glance,
and down. She encourages not
with the open invitation of an as
sault, but with the covert atfectation
of a retreat. She leads on quietly,
but without appearing to do so, and
the world is kept in ignorance of
her plans until her discretion is re-
Warded and s. prize secured.
So anglers catch ish-quietly,
concealed, cautiously. But be who
chatters on the bank, faunts his rod
and line, and futters his brilliant
hues, fails if he thinks to net.

The following extract, from Il
speech, delivered at Maryville Tenn,
August 23rd 1875 by Col. j. E. Bal
ley of Clarkesville Tenn, is worth
the careful persual Of every one desi-
rous of ascertaining the requisites to
accumulation Of wealth, power and
influence. He spoke this in refer
ence to the wealth and power of our
State. But it applies individually, as
the Col. himself makes an Individual
application of it, and says, that as
the people are, so will the State be
necessarily. Labor is the lot OF man.
There is no successful escape from
it. And all labor is honest and
holy:
There is no royal way by which
we can attain to wealth. Our genial
climate, our fertile soils, our great
deposits of iron and coal, will not of
themselves become active workers,
and lay wealth as a tribute at our
feet. In the Providence of God, ac-
cording to His decree, there is
but one way by which it may be ac-
quired, and that is by labor, and by
the exercise of the virtues of frugal
ity and economy. In that way, and
by that alone, have other people be
come rich.
To labor, hard, unWearying, ever
active, ever constant, we are indeb-
ted for all that makes life pleasant;
for our cultivated lands, and smil-
ing fields, and happy homes. We
are indebted to it or the art that sub
dues nature to our wills, and for the
! philosophy which throws it's radi.
ance upon the dark shadows of this
| existence.
No brilliancy Of intellect, nor
splendOr OF genius can supply the
place Of work; the great men, sue.
cesssful men OF the world, those who
have borne down all opposition, and
| moved steadily forward to the con
summation of great enterprise;
those who have builded cities, have
established empires, or founded dy.
nasties; those who have distingu-
ished themselves by useful inven.
tions, have made great discoveries
in science and philosophy, or whose
names have become immortal by
their great actions, without excep
ton have been great workers.
May / not, on this occasion, illus
trate my full meaning by referring to
one who spent the early days of his
life and the maturer years of his
manhood, in your midst; whose
struggles and disappointments and
great successes sre familiar to you
all. To him, who n poor tailor boy
cast upon the world without friend
illiterate 10 the degree, that when hC
entered upon a mans estate he
could not write his name; spent the
time Wrested from the necessity oi
unintermitting labor not in idleness
but in painful effort to gain soRe
| little ofthat knowledge denied him
by adverse fortune, but freely be
| slowed upon others, reared under
happier auspices. His life was 8
life of toll, and this toll brought tc
him his great reward.
