A REMARKABLE CAREER.
Wilmington Capstal.

A gentleman who does business iu Buenos Ayres gave me the other day many interesting details m regard ,o F. D. Winslow. the Boston fo,ger. who Is now such prominent hgufe m thal South American city. His present name. as many readers know. IS W. D. Lowe. d name assumed by hlm on his arr,sal n Uruguay. do not remember ever so have heard ot a more interesting and TO- mantle career than his.
 Winslow was dropped out of the navy in iSo9, having served as A chaplain from 1864. His newspaper and other cnte,- prises m Boston, which were cut short b, him tor three or four years. and his pres ent career dates, believe. from about the year 1875 or 1870 Since his arr,vai in Bucnos Ayres fortune seems to have smiled upon h,s every endeavof. and. although h,s former record IS well know n, he Is treated as reputable person, and IS regarded as ono of the most successful men of the place.
 Almost immediately on his arrsvai m Buenos Ayres he succeeded m borrow ing money sufficient Ia establish h,s newspaper. the DasIp Xeraid This has been a success from the start and is nu~ published Tn French and Spanish as well as Tn English. This Is A Sunday paper as well as d daily. and MI W,nslow's re- iigious homilics III h,s sunday edition arc sad to be as good reading as the latitude of Baenos Ayres affords.
 He has become the owner of hand some block of buildings, drives the best par of horses in Bnenos Ayfes. which, by the way is a city of half million people, and lives m handsome qainta os the outskirts. He has telephone from h,s business office to his residence and does mos, of his editing there. Soon after hls arrival ln Buenos A.res he succeeded in marrying d young woman, and went to England on his wedding trip. but re- mained there but short time for fear of an application from the United States tor his eatradition. My informant says that since he has been in Buenos Ayres he has been to Europe twice on important, missions for the government of that coun- try. tha, he has the entree at the pres,- dents house. where he even takes prece- dence of the presidents ministerial ad- visers. who are obliged to wat until his business is done before they go in ,o do theirs. He is so powerful that he would have no difficulty in breaking down any person who should undertake to expose or oppose him. and no one cares to do II. He IS A member of the principal club of the place, and is personally intimate with the American m,nister He has experi- enced only one rebuf since his residence in that country began, ~hinh was hls e pulsion from the church on areount of the disclosure of his base treatment of his first wife, whom he abandoned To penury m Massao huseits. IL is said tha, he has no, manifested any dispos,,ion to pay of the amouts realized oui of hls forgeries in Boston lis eredit m Buenos Ayres IS said ,o be exceedingly good. and prominent merchants are always ready to lend him all the money thA, he wants If this is not remarkable career, then 1 never heard Of one.

Risks Run for Beauty. New York Evening Post.

It is stated ;n the columns of a medic al journal of Recent publication that the use Of arsenic as a cosmetic is attaining dan gerous popularity in fashionable circles both here and abroad. There are many women who consider good complexion one of the chief desiderasums l:fe can offer, and one 10 be obtained al almost any cost. It IS no secret that the poison, when taken m speciflc doses or quanti- ties, has the effect of clearing the skin and rendering II sof and exquisi,ely transparent, but the after consequences of it's prolonged use ought to be seriously considered, for they are sufficiently weighty and alarming to deter even the greatest asp:.ans sf.er loyeliness from tamPering with so deadly beaunher. IL IS presumed tha, no woman would be rash enough to swallow arsenic except under professional supervision, and it is said that some medical advisers m this and other cities, al the request of their fair but foolish patients, give arsenic un- scrupulously in the form of prescriptions, which the uBsuspecting chemis, makes up, unconscious If the object for which the dangerous mineral is administered.
 This is very lamentable declaration. yet If 1t IS true, as zn outspoken but very sensible physician of experience lately re- marked, These fair fools will not only purify their oomplexions, but they viii eventually purify the world oy getting out of it. They will soon lie forever a, rest from all the vaniues of this world. with countenan ances as white as the mos. fastidious could possibly desire

The footsteps had ceased. but muitered impree a,ions were heard from without against the base villain who had stolen the keyhoIe.
