dafm0nlzlng Uf6Ss With the G0nl-


plezion.


OF all colors, perhaps the
most trying to the complexion
are the different shades Of lilac
and purple. The fashionable
and really beautiful mauve and
its varieties, are, of course in
cluded in this category. In ac-
cOrdance with the we'll known
law of optics, that all colors,
simple or compound, have a
tendency to tint surrounding
objects with a faint spectrum
of their complementary color,
those above mentioned, which
require for their harmony yari-
GUS tints Of yellow and green,
apply these supplementary
colors to the complexion. 1t is
scarcely necessary to observe
that, of all compilations, those
which turn upon yellow are the
most unpleasant in their effect
and, probably for this reason,
that in this climate, it is al
ways a sign of bad health. But,
it will be asked, is there no
means of harmouizing colors so
beautiful i'll themselves, with
the complexion, and SO avoid
ing these i'll effects {? To a cer-
tain extent this may be done,
and as follows:


Should the complexion be
dark, the purple tint may be
dark also, because, by contrast,
it makes the complexion fairer;
if the skin be pale or fair the
tint should be lighter. In either
case the color should be placed
next the skin, but should not
be parted from it by the hair
and by q rucha Of the tulle,
which produces the nutralizing
effect of gray. Should the com
DleXion still aDDeaf too yellow.
green leaves or green ribbons
may be worn as trimmings
This will often neutralize lilac
and purple colors, and thus pre-
vent their imparting an unfa-
yorable hue to the skin.


Scarcely less difficult than
mauve to harmonize with the
complexion is the equally beau
tiful color called magenta" 7"
The complementary color
would be yellow-groen; "ma-
genta," therefore, requires very
nice treatment to make it be-
coming. 1t must be subdued
when near the skin, and this
must be done by intermixture
with black; either by diminish
ing its brightness, by nearly
covering it with black lace, or





by Introducing the color in very
small quantity only.


Yellow, also, is a difficult col
or to harmonic with the com
plexion. A bright yellow, like
that of the buttercup, contrasts
well with black, and is becom-
ing to bonnets, when not plac-
ed next to the skin; but pale
yellow or greenish yellow suits
no one, especially those with
pale complexion. Its effect is
to diffuse, by contrast, a purple
hue over the complexions; and
this is certainly no addition to
beauty.


Blue is favorable TO most
complexions light or sky blue

with golden hair; fuller tintstc

1t may be useful to recall here, now that
Macmillan himself is in danger of the
fate from which he saved so many others,
that at the very outset MaXimilian set his
foot down against retaliation, and declared
his intention of carrying on a civilized
war, and no other. The news of the mas
sacre of San Jacinto had just reached Que

that brutal affair have ever been published
how the poor fellows knew, nothing of
their impending fate till the order came, at
three O'Clock in the morning, for them to
form themselves in squads of fifteen for ex-
ecution-how, with generous rivalry, they
struggled to be first in the procession of
death-how the second fifteen, marching
with firm step to the place of slaughter,
met the mangl gled bodies of the first fifteen
returning, and so on to tine hideous end.
and how, out of fone hundred and sixty brave
men ten only survived-ten officers of ESco-
bedo's staff having asked and obtained the
privilege of saving life each. Burning
with desire to avenge his wounded BROTH
er'S death, Miramon issued proclamation
to his corps telling them their enemies had
thrown down the gauntlet of war with

knife it should be. MaXimilian, even un-
der this strong provocation, vetoed Mira,

called upon them to hehaTe as became the

even when by all the laws of war it would
have been justifiable, and ordered that all

FALSE BosoMsAND THEIR EFFECTs-INTEREsTING
FACTS FOR DREssMAKERs AND THEIR PATRONS
On last Saturday afternoon very fine looking
lady, young and we'll dressed called on Justice
Dodge, at the Jefferson Market Police Court and
in most bland and smiling manner stated that
she had been dcfraudcd in singular manner by
a fashionable dressmaker on Sixth Avenue, be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, named
Madame Latour.


Miss Flora Sinclair, the lady in question, is in
clined to be fashionable in every respect Large
and full-breastcd, without any ornamental pad
dings, she was duly measured for the dress, the
material for which she says she gave to Madame
Latour When she came to fit the garment on,
however, she wore a pair of false bosoms which
could not be reduced to sufficient space 10 allow
the dress to work over them. 1t was long
enough in the skirt, had trail enough for Long
Branch, Newport or Saratoga, but, ah, the bo-
som that could not be made to join and Miss
Sinclair charms were made visible to the vul-
gar gaze of the outer world. She did not want
this, as she said herself, it would not look well
to wear such dress in company This, Miss
Flora Sinclair blushingly declared she did not
desire, and insisted that the Madame should nav
her for the material wasted in the dress.


Madame Latour, in her broken English, begged
TO say to his honor that she was not responsible
for the mistake in the size of the dress, if apv
had occurred she measured Miss Sinclair care
iuhy' ana made the dress accordingly and if
the latter saw fit to add to her own charms bv
wearing false bosoms over her naturally eudow-
ments, already large, she (Madame Latour)
could not be held responsible


| His Honor, the Judge, said that he knew little
about the mysteries of dressmaking, but he
would refer the whole subject to competent
person, to examine the facts and report to him
the testimony. He accordingly referred the dis
putants to Mrs. Robinson, well-known dress
maker, on Sixth avenue, to adjudcate upon, but
this lady has not yet made her report


| Meantime Miss Sinclair is Obliged to 90 with
out her new garment which, at one time prom
ised to add so much to her charms The clerks
and attaches of the court are anxiously awaiting

orally believed that it will contain long dis

o willow, why forever weep,


AS one who mOurns an endless wrong
What hidden woe can lie so deep?


What utter grief can last so long
The Spring makes haste with step elate
Your life AID beauty to renew
She even bids the roses wait,


And gives her first sweet care to you.
The welcome red-breast folds his wing
To pour for you his sweetest strain;
To you the earliest blue birds sing


Till all your light stems thrill again.
The sparrow trills his wedding song,


And trust his tender broods to you
Fair flow ring vines, the Summer long,


With clasp and kiss your beauty WOO.
The sunshine drapes your limbs with light
The rain braids diamonds in your hair,
The breeze makes love to you at night,
Yet still you droop and still despair.
Beneath your boughs at fall Of dew,


By lovers lips is softly told
s'The tale that all the ages through


Has kept the world from growing old"
But still, though Aprirs buds unfold,


Or Summer sets the earth aleaf,
Or Autumn trims your robes with gold,


You sway and sigh III graceful grief.
Mourn on forever, uncOncerned,


And keep your secret, faithful tree,
No heart in all the world can hold


A sweeter grace than constancy.

THE FALL TRADE.-The preparations which our
merchants have made for the Fall trade are at last
becoming apparent in earnest to the people OF
this city, and those from the surrounding country
who chance to visit us now. These preparations,
though extensive, are not foolishly so; and while
recognizing the fact that the people must be sup
piled, the merchants aware OF the tallure OF
the crops and have not overburdened their shelves
with a. useless amount of stock.


Had all abundant yield crowned the efforts OF
the farmers this year, Wilmington would have
contained such stock of goods as possibly has
never before been seen here: but a due regard
must be paid to the condition of the country, and
while there is probably as large Fall stock now
On exhibition in the city as during any previous

But in starting out, what We prlncipal'y desired

Fall trade. II their selections have not been so
extensive as could have been wished, certainly
their choice has been judiciously exercised, and
we think that the market OF Wilmington Tor goods
offers as fair field to country dealers and retail
buyers as any city in the South. The enterprizl
which cbaracterizes our merchants renders them
peculiarly desirable 20 trade with.

II was feared by the friends of General
Grant that the early connection of his
name with the nomination for the Presi-
dency would have prejudicial effect
upon his prospects. The opportunity it
gives for a thorough canvass of the per-
sons record is an ordeal which few pub
lie men are able to pass through un-
scathed, and very frequently renders
them unavailable; for, after all, it is the
availability of a candidate that generally
decides the case with him in a conven-
ton. We question if ever a candidate
for nomination has been so unani-
mously chosen and commended by the
press aud people as has General Grant
by the Republicans From every State
and Territory he has been, with scarce
a dissenting voice, named as the people,
choice, while Grant Clubs are organized
in all the cities and principal towns in
the country. The Tribune and a Jew
other papers have seen proper to dissent
from the popular will, kick out of the
traces, and advocate Chase, Colfax and
other good but unavailable men, They


will, however, eventually be obliged by
the force of events to fall in with the
sentiment they cannot resist The result
of the late elections has added to and
strengthened Grants prospects, while ii
has completely wiped out the states OF
the lesser sspirants. IL is toregone
conclusion that he will be the nominee
of the National Republican Convention.
We do not conceive it possible that Grant
will do anything to destroy the conf
dence now reposed in him by the sober
second thought of the Republican party.
The Democratic party is differently stu
ated. johnson they cannot carry through

are ambitious and have earnest sup
porters, but they, fortunately fo- them,
have not military title, an Indispensable

WASHINGTON, August ga week ago l tele-
graphed you that the President positively con-
templated the removal of Secretary Stanton at
an early day. MY information at that time was
based on reliable authority, and to-day it has
been verified. President johnson has at last
undertaken the step, and this morning sent
Secretary Stanton O letter requesting his with
drawal from the Cabinet. No reply has been
received up to this hour and none is expected
until tomorrow. The regular Cabinet meeting z
will be held at room tomorrow, when, no doubt
the subject will be discussed.


1t appears that for more than year-and this
have from the best authority-the resignation
of Mr.. Stanton has been looked for. Week after
week and month after month the President
waited, expecting each new day to hear from
the Secretary; but no word came, and at last a
letter was drawn up by the President asking
Mr. Stanton to resign. This letter was also held
back for some time because the breach between
the Secretary and the President was daily grow
ing wider and wider. This hostility was 80

As have stated already, it was not until this
morning that the letter was actually sent.

authority tor stating that the President will
undertake to remove him, and the Tenure of
Office bill itself, it is claimed will sustain him
in this exercise of power. The President believes
that the first section of the bill does not take
away his power of removing Mr.. Stanton, a.
the latter was appointed by Mr.. Lincoln, and
not by Mr.. johnson. 1t reads thus:-


Provided that the Secretaries of State of the Trea
suTy OF War Of the Navy, II the Interior, and the
Postmaster General and the Attorney-G shall
hold their offices respectively during the term of the
President by whom they have been appointed and
one month thereafter, subject TO removal by and with
the advice and consent of The Senate.


The President takes the ground that he can
remove all his Cabinet except the three ap-
pointed since his accession to office.


AS to who will succeed Mr.. Stanton nothing
has yet been decided. 1t is probable that Gene
raj Grant will be summoned TO act temporarily,
wisest course for the present. General Grant,
being familiar with army affairs and the chief
of the army, would undoubtedly be an admi-
rable selection. In making this statement about
General Grant, am but giving the impression
of people of all shades of opinion here.

published to the country will doubtless cause an
