Dangerous Colors Used by the Romans.

One of the most famous preparations
among the ancient Romans for the COM
pleXion was that of poppaa, made of rye
or barley flour mixed with oil, which was
washed off with milk. 1t should be re-
marked here that this preparation was
rather for the preservation and restoration
of the skin, seriously affected by the colors
of various kinds applied when the Roman
ladies We're in society. The white lead used
to deaden the complexion when it was too
fresh was always dangerous, and minimum,
or red lead, equally SO. Anthony was in
common use. To give freshness of color
various substances We're employed, among
the rest dye prepared from seaweed. In
addition to the red and white applied to
the face, to initiate what was supposed to
be the natural hues of the complexion, a
certain blue was added to show the delicate
tracery of the veins.-San Francisco Chron-
icle

Died by His own Hand.

On Monday, 18th inst, Col. S. Brown
Allen of the Hotel Clifton, received a
telegram from Hon. Jas A. Frazier, an
nouncing the death of Mr.. Charles War
rick, a son of Judge Warrick, of Bath
county, Va. The deceased was brother
OF Mrs. Jas A. Frazier. and has been en-
gagged in profitable business for several
years in New Mexico. We were intro
duced to Mr.. Warrick u few weeks since
while he was visiting friends in this city
and was favorably impressed by his
friendly disposition and gentlemanly
bearing. He was in the vigor of man
hood, being about % wears OF age. The
coincidence of the VIRGINIAN is extended
to his relatives and many friends.
The following telegram appeared in
the Richmond Dispatch of Tuesday:
MILLBoRo, VA. November 13.--Charles
W. Warrick committed suicide last night
at2 O'Clock at the Rockbridge Alum
Springs by shooting himself through
the head with a Smith & Wesson pistol
38-calibre. No cause is given for the
rash act. He wrote q letter to Mr.. James
A. Frazier requesting that he be buried
in the clothes he had on, and that his
body should be taken from the Rock
kridge Alum to the Warm Springs,
where he is to be buried in the. night,
and that no one should go with it but
the driver of the hearse. Further than
this nothing more can be learned. Al
though he wrote five letters to his rel.
atives just before his death, they will
not divulge what the letters contain. He
was the youngest son of ex-Judge James
Warrick, Of Bath county.

Week of PRAYER.

The first of the union services, as ar
ranged by the International Y M. c.. A
Committee, was held in the Baptist
church on Monday night last. Mr.. G. II.
Winslow, the resident Y. M. G. A. Secre-
tary, opened the exercises. He gave
very interesting account of the gradual
growth of the Y. NJ G. A., and pointed
out many of the advantages derived
from membership in such Associations.
He was followed by Rev. I'll. L. Wood, of
the Episcopal church, who in most
earnest exortation, admonished young
men to embrace the faith once delivered
to the Saints. His remarks were of a
most comforting and appropriate char
acter.
Tuesday night, Rev V. w. Wheeler
conducted the exercises in the Presby-
terrain church. His sermon was addressed
especially to young men. and was heard
with marked attention.
Wednesday night, Geo. K. Anderson,
ESQ.,, was in charge of the meeting,
which was held in the Methodist church
Mr.. Anderson is an earnest Christian
worker, and in his address on this occa>
sion, he urged his felow-men to seek
their souls salvation.
Tonight Thursday the meeting will
be held in the Disciples church, with
Mr. VIM. A. Price as leader.
Union services will be held on Sunday
next.

Meeting Of Baptists.

The General Association of the Vir-
ginia Baptist, held at Roanoke last week,
was largely attended, something near
500 delegates and visitors being present.
The speeches were of the very highest
order, and resulted in much good. Sun
day night grand Mass meeting in the
interest of Foreign Missions was held,
and the great congregation was stirred
as perhaps never before in the history
of the Association. All pronounced it
the greatest meeting in the interest of
Missionaries they had ever attended.
Rev. Mr. Bryant, missionary to China,
who is on a short visit home, surpassed
any speech ever heard by Virginia Bap>
lists on Missions in China.
Monday was day OF unusual interest
Mr., McConner, the new Secretary of the
Home Mission Board, opened the seryi-
ces with an appeal for Home Missions.
Mr.. McConnor is a mountain boy, and
has all the vigor and reliability of the
mountain orator. He held his audience
spell-bound for over two hours. They
laughed and they cried, and they Won
dered and applauded. and all were sorry
when he quit.
Monday night perhaps was the ten
derest meeting of all. The Orphanage
and it's work was discussed, and the con-
gregation waited patiently until after
ten o'clock for the last word that was to
be spoken, and then, at that late hour,
sat quietly for collection to be taken
up, which amounted to nearly seven
teen hundred dollars.
All the services were good, but the
three mentioned were the most enthusi-
astic we have ever attended. For all
purposes the collections ON the floor
amounted to nearly four thousand dol
lars. Rev. Rutherford Brett, Pastor of
the Baptist church in this city, was in
attendance.

Our highly esteemed friend, Mr.. J.
Arthur Kinsey, who has been employed
in the office of the Withrow LuIn Der Co,
of this city since its location here, finds
himself without employment on account
of the depression in the lumber and
building business, and will return to his
home in Baltimore City. We sincerely
regret his departure, as he is a young
man who has been faithful and conscien-
tious ia the discharge of his duty, and
one whose friendship we have always
enjoyed. Our best wishes go with him,
and may prosperity attend him wherever
his lot may be cast.

THE aINDIGO" SOCIAL.
A Delightful Entertainments.

The Indigo. Social referred to in our
last issue, was held at the residence of
| ex- Mayor r. p Bowles on Friday night
This entertainment was given for the
benefit of the Presbyterian church and
was literally patronized by thesother de-
nominations. The handsome sum of $23
was realized, and the general enjoyment
of those present indicated that the ladies
in charge had achieved success. The
entertainment was new and novel, and
at the supper table the "Menu" ON blue
paper and peculiarly worded was both
amusing and pulling One feature of
the evening was prize contest in word
formation. The words, "Bluing Water"
were written on sheets of paper. The
contestants being provided with sheet
of paper and pencil, W ere signaled to be-
gin writing, and five minutes were al
lowed in which to write words contain
ing letters that occur only in "Bluing
Water At the expiration of the time
allowed, after examination of the papers.
Miss Pierce, music teacher, of the Allie
ghany Female Institute, having written
So words. was awarded the prize-a very
pretty copy of Paradise Lost" Miss J.
.Merriman received the "Booby" prize,
box of Blue. both of which were pre-
sented by Rev. E. w. MacCorkle, in
very appropriate manner. DR.. Savage
was a very close contestant for the first
prize. The music discoursed by Messrs.
Lindenberger Bowles and Van Sickler,
was appreciated and added much to the
entertainment. The solo rendered by
Miss Pierce, was enjoyed by all and high
" applauded. Parlor games, the ex-
change of pleasantries, &c, caused the
time to pass quickly, and this departure
from the usual church supper seemed to
meet the hearty approval Of the large
crowd in attendance.
