THE OLD REBEL YELL.
It Rings cut in Court at 4 Texas
Murder Trial and Startles
the Judge.

A singular dramatic incident occur
red in the Superior Court room al
WaynesborO, Texas, during the trial
of the Rogers brothers for the killing
Of the SymseS, father and son.
When court assembled after tea,
the seats and the ais!Cs within the
bar were crowded with ladies, while
without a dense thong of men filled
up the auditorium.
Mr.. Twiggs began his argument.
He is an eloquent speaker In the
course Of his address he at one time
referred in the most feeling manner
to the courage and devotion 0fwomcn'
The hour, the audience, and the dim
light from which the rapt faces were
pcnt upon him, all combined to from
Il surrounding well calculated to in
spirc the orator to his greatest effort
lie closed his address upon the wom-
en- as follows:
"At the battle of Gettysburg Gen
cral Pickett was ordered to begin the
charge which was to make him fam
Gus. AS he went into the terrible
battle his young bride, on horseback,
followed him. When the hail of
death was beating men on all sides
and the plunging shot and shell min
gled their fierce screams with the
means and cries of the mangled
Pickett suddenly found himself in
the presence of his wife. In an agony
of fear for her safety, he cried out tC
her, as she sat cool and collected as 9

A Thames Fisherman.

Cumnor Hurst rears its picturesque
head by-and-by on the Berkshire banks
of the river. fitting scene for the
troubles of Amy Rosbart, whose ro-
mantle life Sir Walter Scott has blend
cd with the local history of Cumnor.
Never heard of the lady, as / know
on, said a fisherman who was trolling
for pike close by; you'd better inquire
of yon chap on the bank there; he
knows"
We inquired of the chap on the bank.
He was setting some night lines" he
said. Oh yes, he had heard tell of
Kenilworth, but it was not anywhere
hereabouts; he believed it was some
where in Scotland; but it was quite
true that Amy Robsart, Countess of
Leicester, was a prisoner at Cumnor
Place-leastwise he had always under
stood so. Old King Harry the Eighth
had good deal to do with this neigh
borhood. he had always been told, but
that was before his day, and he had
quite enough to do to get living with
out bothering his head about such
things.
So he turned to his night lines for
fish, and we pulled away. His head
was rough one, and he scratched it as
he talked to us. He wore an old velvet
shooting coat, pair of jack-boots, and
colored neckerchief, and as we drew
away he stood up to watch us with a
stolid gaze and farewell nod, as much
as to say, "f pulling boat down
stream were honest labor, you loafers
would be doing something else

He Took the Hint.

They were sitting alone in the parlor
when she sweetly remarked:
George, dear, can you tell me why
it is that the course of true love never
runs smoothly"
1T does run smoothly. darling" said
George, passionately. What could be
smoother than the course of our true
love?"
And love is blind, is it not?" she
went on.
"Yes, love is said to be blind" re-
piled George, wondering what she was
trying to get at.
well, / can tell you why true love
never runs smoothly" and she looked
at the lapel of his coat as though she
would like to go to sleep there. Love
is blind and instead of helping the
blind it is considered the proper thing
to pull down the blind"
George acted upon this hint and
pulled down the blind.-Philddelphio

Care Of the Skin.

Nothing is more conducive to clear
skin than the moderate use of mild,
pure toilet soap and rain, not cistern,
water. Cistern water grows hard and
limy by standing in cemented reservoirs,
and thus becomes scarcely less injurious
than originally hard water itself. Pure
water, or milk and water, are the cos
metics par excellence; but although
all sufficient during perfect health, are
most insufficient for the inhabitants Of
towns, whose health is rarely perfect,
assailed as it Is by heated rooms, inn
proper diet, and ill-ventilated places of
amusement. 1t is, therefore, necessary
that art should come to the aid of ma
ture, from whom we expect too much.
In the open air, no less than within
doors, in walking, at balls, at the
theater, the skin becomes charged with
impurities, which plain water will not
remove. To cleanse and restore it to
its freshness nothing is better than the
following preparations, used in the
place of soap: almond-meal, pound !;
fine oatmeal, pound; powdered
boraX, | ounce; mix thoroughly to-
gether and use iii place of soap. IL is
n mistaken idea of many people that
soap is a mere cleaning compound, and
that one kind answers as we'll as an
other. Some even pretend to find q
latent virtue in common yellow soap,
and declare it more tonic than the mild
scented, carefully prepared cake of the
perfumer and chemist. When one thinks
of the toilet operations of many Ameri-
can farm-houses, the crash rollers, acrid
yellow soaps, and hard water of the
kitchen sink-common toilet service of
the entire family-one ceases to wonder
that the brilliant complexions of our
rustic bellies become, long before mid
die life, the coarse, yellow, sodden ones
of many rustic matrons. Common bar
soap contains an amount of alkali, be-
sides rosin and turpentine, enough to
ruin any good complexion. If the skin
is in such condition that tonic is
needed, if it seem greasy, lax, and as if
too loosely overlaid the tissue, or dry
from profuse use of powder, wash the
face and hands well with warm water,
wipe the face dry, then with the bare
hand rub on cold cream made of almond
oil-not lard. Do this moderately five
or ten minutes, then with soft towel
go over the face firmly and wipe it
clean. There will be no grease left,
but the oil has both cleansed and nour-
ished the skin. Do this every day for
u week, and see how fresh and fair the
complexion will become. 1t is an old
and popular expedient of handsome
women to obviate the dryness and heat
of hn cly haf icf
cause. A Partisan compound, nearly
like our cold cream, used to anoint the
face, consists of: white wax. 30
grammes; oil of sweet almonds, 60
grammes; mutton suet, 30 grammes;
starch powder to make a PASTE

What the Moons Face Tells.

The moons face, says Prof. Proctor,
tells Of o remote youth-a time of fiery
activity, when volcanic action, even
more effective Though not probably
more energetic) than any which has
ever taken place on this globe, up
heaved the moons crust. But so soon
as we consider carefully the features of
the moons surface we see that there
must have been three distinct eras of
vulcanian activity. Look at the multi
tudinous craters, for example, around
the metropolitan crater of Tycho.
They tell US of century after century
of volcanic disturbance-but they tell
us more. They mark a surface which
varies IN texture, and, therefore, in
ight-reflecting power in such way as
to show that the variations were pro-
duced long before the volcanic action
began by which the craters were
formed. For the variations of texture
are such as TO mark series of streaks
some of them 1000 or 5000 miles in
length, and many miles in breadth, ex-
tending radially from Tycho. Craters
lie indifferently on these brighter
streaks and on the intervening darker
spaces, and some craters can be seen
which lie right across q bright streak
with parts of their ring on the darker
regions on both sides of the streak
This proves that the craters were
formed long after the great streaks.
When the streaked surface was formed,
it must have been tolerably smooth !;
for we see the streaks best under full
illumination, and there Is no sign of
any difference of elevation between
them and the darker ground all around {;
they are neither long ridges nor long
valleys, but mere surface markings.
Yet must they have been formed by
mighty vulcanian disturbance, such,
indeed, as we may be certain went on
at an early stage OF the moons history,
to which these radiating streaks must
be referred. It seems clear that, as
Nasmith has illustrated by experiment,
they belong to the stage of the moons
history when her still hot and plastic
crust parted with its heat more rapidly
than the nucleus of the planet, and so,
contracting more quickly, was rent by
the resistance of the internal matter,
which. still hot and molten, flowed
into the rents, and spreading, formed
the long, broad streaks of brighter sur

Ioshna Il. Giddmgs as a pueIIst.

Giddings had made some fiery re-
marks on abolition and the South on
the floor of the Senate. In this he
drew a Southern Senator rather rough
lv over the Goals. The Senator became
very angry and sent him q challenge.
He would have an apology or blood.
Giddings accepted the challenge, but
he wrote that he was unacquainted with
.he use of the pistol or other ire-weap-
ons. As challenged party he had the
choice of the weapons. He would name
rawhides, tough, long and wiry. The
two combatants should have the thumbs
OF their left hands bound tightly to-
getber. and, with rawhidcs in their
rioht. should castigate each other until
