Women Who Paint.
From the London Telegraph.

Women of the upper and middle classes
have far too generally adopted the harmful
and detestable practice of imparting artificial
color to their faces and fictitious whiteHeSS
to their necks. Some even enamel their
shoulders and arms-at least, so we are told
animated by feeling skin t. the profess
sional enthusiasm of the provincial actor,
who, upon being unexpectedly cast for the
part of 'Othello," promptly BACKED himself
from head to foot, in order to be perfectly
in keeping with the important role assigned
to him The appllcatIOI to the skin of those
red and white compounds, the basis of
which is too frequently some poisonous min
eral substance, is dangerous and silly usage
plainly speaking, barbarous custom,
more honOred in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. Actors and actresses, whose faces
are exposed to a strong artificial light
whilst they are on TIE stage, are compelled
to use pigments in order TO highten their
natural color, as well as TO disguise their in
dividuality, as the saying goes, beyond
recognition They are, however, for the
most part extremely careful not to apply
anything but vegetable preparations to
those portions OF their epidermis which have
to undergo superficial treatment in obedi-
ence to theatrical exigencies. Many ladies
in private life, we regret to say, are not so
particular; consequently they ruin their
compilations and impair their health by
"beautlfying" themselves with cosmetics
and powders, into the composition Of which
enter such deleterious matters "a lead and
zinc, bismuth and bslladonna. We enter
tain all manner of objections to beauty
shows, too numerous to set down in this
place; but, il the coming display in Paris
should serve as practical protest against
the prevalent abuse of "maqulllage," we
shall unhesitatinglV accord to it the ex
preston of "mitigated disapproval."

Revivalist.

The Press Of Columbus Denounced by
a Revivalist
COLUMBUS, GA, April 4.-There was
something of a sensation at st. Luke's
church tonight. An evangelist named
Weller was conducting the services, and in
the course of his remarks he assailed the
press OF the city ard said that the Enqui-
rer-Sun was publishing an invitation to
young men to visit a saloon every day to
get free lunch, while it had only made
casual notice of the revival in progress at
the church. He criticised the paper in
many other respects, and advised
the members OF the church TO
withdraw their support, if thev
did not exclude such matter as free lunch
ads. He held up the Macon Telegraph as
coming up TO his idea a. u model newspaper
and at the conclusion Of Rev. Mr. Walters
remarks Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor of St.
Luke's church, arose and said be felt con-
strained to disagree with his brother in his
attack upon the press Of the city. He said
the press had been very kind and had
aided him in his efforts TO suppress vice.
Mr.. Waller, in reply, subs .antially said
that the spirit of God had prompted him
to say what he had said, aud that
he had nothing to take back. After the
services Rev. Mr.. Williams and Rev. Mr.
Lloyd, pastors of the leading Methodist
churches in the city, called at the Enquirer
Sun Office and disavowed any responsibility
for what Mr.. Waller had said The En-
qttrer-Sun has recently been making a
vigorous fight against gambling, and it
seems rather hard that a minister Shout
get up in a pulpit right under the nose
of the paper, and charge it with falling
short of It's full duty in promoting the spir-
itual welfare Of the people Of Columbus.
