Picturesque Scenes in Atlanta.

On Monday you may see tall. straight
negro girls marching through the street
carrying enormous bundles OF solled
clothes upon their heads or man
with great stack of homemade, un-
painted and splint-bottomed chairs, out
from among the white legs and rungs
of which his black visage peers curl
ously; or urchins under baskets OF
flowers poised like crowns. Troops OF
little black boys, bare-footed, bare
headed, and ragged to degree" as a
certain English novelist is fond OF
expressing it, 60 about carrying bags
in which they gather up rags in
manner wholly different from the New
York chIoniers. At certain corners
stand farmers in scant clothing of
homespun, and the most bucollc of
manners, waiting for some one to buy
for O dollar, or even half dollar, the
little load of wood piled up on the
center of homemade wagon SO dl-
minutive that two men could walk away
with the whole affair, while third
carried the mule under his arm. 1t Is
great fun. too, to go to the post-otfice
after the arrival of the noon mails from
the North. The Office closes its win
dows, although it is in the middle Of
the DAY, and devotes itself to the task
Of distribution. Meanwhile, crowd
accumulates mostly the rabble who
get letter about once in four weeks,
but mixed up of all sorts-and amuse
themselves by making remarks not
always complimentary to the rule OF
the Office, or stand patiently in line
until the window opens. This delay IN
a post-ofice which supports the del1v-
cry system looks like ''relic = but
every body has time enough IN Georgia.
On certain days you will hear the
beating of triangles, and have your
attention attracted to the red flag Of the
curb stone auctioneer whose voiublllty
will be heard sbove the din Of traffic.
These out-of-door auctions are always
amusing, and the crowd of negroes,
poor whites" and loungers that they
gather afford an interesting study to
the lover OF physiognomy. 1t IS Ike

Trial of james Stephens.

About The year 1858, young man
named Bell arrived in this country
from the north of Ireland, ostensibly
on visit to his sisters, Misses Sophia
and Fanny Bell, who had previously
lived under ther of James Stephens,
the husband of their aunt. James
Stephens was employed in the car
factory of the celebrated car builder,
John Stephenson, and lived with his
wife and the two Misses Bells, in q
tenement house, the rear windows of
which looked into the workshop.
Stephens was Methodist, and bore an
excellent character. Mr.. Stephenson
was also Methodist, and had very
high opinion of his employe. Mrs.
Stephens died after protracted illness
leaving one little daughter about six or
seven years old named Isabella, and
familinrly called Bella.
Shortly after the death Of Mrs. Ste
phens, the girls moved from under the
roof of her late husband, and began
housekeeping tor themselves. They
then wrote home for their brother, who
came, as above stated.
The young man was by no means as
steady as the president of temperance
society, and he and Mr.. Stephens had
several quarrels, when at length young
Bell shot at Mr.. Stephens, who had
him arrested and taken before a magls
trate. The formal charge Of shooting
with intent to kill was made by Ste
phens, and the young man WAS about

The Ataensunu thinks that Tkackerav

The Ataemsum thinks that TEackeray
is the only novelist Of his time whose
popularity is steadily increasing. 1t
says: ct is as painter of his own
times, painter who had no rival in his
own day. that Thackeray will be remem-
bered, and time will make of these
wonderful novels true historical ro-
mances. They will live as vivid pic
tares of English society in the first
half of the nineteenth century," His
po, ,'ularity is traced to the mixture of
half-hearted pessimism and real optim-
ism to be found in his writings.

SYRIAN WoMEN.-One of the deepest
convictions in the mind of an Arab is
that any man is immeasurably superior
to any woman. The rejoicing over the
birth of son is only equalled by the
grief with which daughter is received
into the world. The unfortunate fe-
male infant is despised; but the heir to
The desert freedom welcomed with dem
onstrations of Joy which know no
bounds. But where there is only q
baby girl, she is nothing but a girl any
how. Fer brothers will beat her and
curse her; her father will abuse his
wife for having girl baby; and when
she grows up, if she marries, she will
be beaten by her husband, and have to
drag outa slaves life, and know moth
ing more than the cattle or the DON
keys. Boys are trained to abuse and
oppress their sisters, and girls are
taught that such treatment is the only
kind they have right to expect. The
women carry the burdens, and part of
their daily work is to bring water for
she household uses.

Cosmetics.

Doctors, and chemists, and phys
iolo9ists, all unite in saying that there
is but one proper cosmetic,--pure soap
and water. Even scented soap is OBJ
jectionable, unless the smell of an IN
he althy skin is to be hidden. The
Medical Examiner says: Complexion
is dependent on the quality and guam
tity of the blood in the skin, and the
condition of the cells of the skin,
through which the blood is seen.
''The way to insure having proper
quantity of healthy blood in the skin
is to rise early, to be much in the open
air, especially during the hours of sun
light, to avoid over heated, artificially-
lighted, unventilated rooms, and to re-
tire early to rest.
Ito keep the cells which protect tine
surface of the skin in healthy state,
all that is necessary is to wash the sur
face of the body with soap and water
only, or, in the case of some delicate
skins, which the alkali of most soaps
irritates, with water alone,
Whoever will attend to these direc-
tions will do all that can be doae'to
preserve, as all ought to try and pre-
serve, their skins in the most healthy
and therefore beautiful conditions,
'' 1t cannot be too strongly asserted
thst nc. cosmetic, wash, enamel, powder,
paste or lotion, can ever subvert the
natural process of waste and repair
which is ever taking place in our
bodies. and which is part of general
law observed throughout animate ma
ture, that every cell has limited
period of existence, equally as have all
bodies composed of such cells

LONDON, May 30.-A telegram from Mar
itzburg, dated May 14th, says There is excit-
ing news from Tugela, on the frontier near Help
makaar. On the llth Of May q great battle took
place at a point between Thringpost and Sanha-
walla. 4 powerful Zulu chief named Matcona,
with all his people, numbering some thousands,
had resolved to surrender to the British. He
was joined by Dabal Manzi, Cetewayo's brother,
who commanded the Zulus at GingIholoYo, and a
remnant of that army, its chiefs having kept
away from Cetewayo since their defeat through
fear. When nearing T~hringpost they were un-
expectedly interrupted by a powerful force, sup
posed to be commanded by Cetewayo, coming
from the northward. y fearful conflict ensued,
resulting in a great slaughter of the Zulus who
wished to surrender, and they were dispersed
and driven back. Matcona escaped. 1t is re-
ported that Dabal Manzi was killed. King &C.
tewayO, elated with his success, and apparently
learning that Lord Chelmsford's columns have
made q forward movement, has summoned all his
followers and taken a strong position at the fork
OF the w hItp ImVelosI- ut IFS iuncfiOn with the
Black Umvelosi. At his back are some of the
highest known mountains of Zululand, densely
wooded at their base. The country in front is
swampy. Here the King evidently awaits the
British. Native scouts state that he has de-
clared that lie will never surrender. He is be-
lieved to have collected all his available forces, and
raids into Natal are now feared. \ bridge across
the Tugela is now available foE-light transport.

In 1858 a certain monk, named Perignon, was
made cellarer of the BenedictIne Abbey of Haut
Villiers, a little hamlet on the banks Of the
Marine, about five miles from Epernay, who was
a perfect godsend to the wine-bibbing world.
He was the first to marry the produce of one
vineyard to that of another, to find out that a
white wine which would keep good could be
made from the blacklist grapes, instead OF de-
generating, like that obtained from white grapes,
and to substitute cork as a bottle stopper for flax
dipped in oil. Just at the close of the seven
tenth century he achieved his final triumph of
producing eferyescent champagne. Why 1T
sparkled he knew not, but the secret spread over
the country, until in 1878 the official returns of
the manufacturers stocks in the champagne
district, as given by the Chamber of Commerce
at Rheims. is 20, 1873 1868 bottles. In England
the taste for dry champagne became general
nearly 100 years ago, and the demand was then,
as now, for Sillery. Russia takes it sweet and
strong, and the French and Germans like a
sweet light wine.
