pay him $i25.
A few days ago Magee secured a note
for the amount from Burroughs. The
latter was to get % cents per rod fol
selling the fence The contract Mr.
urroughs thought was all right until
he me ntioned the matter to his next
neighbor, who lives lin the same hun
dred. Aagee had tried to obtain the
same amount of this neighbor and ther
Burroughs's 3 eyes were opened. Yester-
day morning he reported the matter tC
the detectives.
:. Letters from parties in several south
ern states were. found in Magee's pos
session when arrested, along with thu
note of Burroughs's. It is evident tina
Magee has been duping farmers through

that Magee beat" the Central hotel o
board and Anderson's livery stable o
livery hire. He tried to unload one of tn
notes in his possession on the proprietor o

cosmeties Among the Romans.


All that had been previously done in
the way of facial decoration was left far
In the shade by the ancient Romans.
All the Latin writers-historians poets,
naturalists and others-mention it in
one way or another. 1t was the practice
of Roman actors, as it has been Of those
Of the profession since the theater has
existed. Many of the emperors used
paint more or less freely. Helogabalus,
one Of the most eccentric, when he en-
tered Rome for the first time, had his
eyelashes painted black and his cheeks
red and white In the time of Augustus
the custom was universal among women
of fashion, details of which are given by
Horace, Catullus, Wbullus, Ovid, Pro-
pertius and the rest. Martial speaks Of
the chalk of Fabulla that fears the rain,
and the wax Of ISABELLA that fears the
sun.
Horace mentions red lead and carmine
as among the articles employed. Ju-
venal in one of his satires describes a
paste that covers the faces of wives and
adheres with tenacity TO the faces Of hus-
bands. Coquettes, according to Horace,
used paste prepared from beans. much
like that used by some modern French
women, and were also given TO the use
of fcummin. Mandragora is mentioned by
Pliny, and poppies by Ovid.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
