Listen to This, Girls.— Dr. Carbally, eminent physician and chemist, testifies that the cosmetics which the fashionable belles of the present day are so fond of using,' and deem so indispensable to their beauty, are the inos deadly enem ies to the vital system. Paralysis that, fatal and flightful form of bodily infirmity, is said to be the result of the Continual use of the pa'mts or washes used for ename ling or otherwise artificially whitening the skin. The use ot sawdust instead of hair in moitar to prevent its falling off is recom mended by a FreiKsh authority. It is thoroughly dried and sifted through an ordinary grain stive to remove the lar** gest particles. The raor:ar is made by using one part cement, two lime, two sawdu f, and five sharp sand, ‘he sawdust being first well mixed dry with the ce~ meut . and , sand. , MAKING PROMISES.

But when you create a morbid taste, even sugar phi ms lose their coating. ‘There,’ said a lady in a street car, one day, ‘I forgot to get Tommy some candy, and there will be d scene when I get home.

You say, ‘Never mind, here it is; you will do b.uter next time.’ Or perhaps, to gain the reward, he takes his first lesson in equivocating, -md you, yourself, not knowing the truth, pave the way for an unstable character. A child may be taught obedience to father and mother, and tb distinguish between right and wrong. This can be done without ft Ut ring the natural disposition too much, or burdening the mind with promises, or, what is infinitely worse, searing the con science with bfoken ones.—If in fault, punish according to offense, and restore at once to fav ir.

A young lady, re¬ siding at No. 1313 Wood street, Miss Effie De Costa, while walking about her room, stepped upon a parlor match, which ignited, setting her underclothing on fire. She did not hear the exposition, and the flames circling round her limbs gave her the first intimation ot her peril. Her screams for help brought to her assis** lance Miss Hattie Green, who resided in fdlr ‘ same house. In attempting to smother the flames her clothing took fire. Others in the house coming to the rescue the fire was extingiished, but not before they were seriously burned.’ The physicians ot the Pennsylvania Hospital, to which institution they were removed, pronounced their injuiies of a fatal acter, ar.d at two o’clock in the afternoon Miss Green died in dreadful agony, and it is fiighly probable that Miss De Costa u ill not live till morning. The Cleveland Leader tells this queer story ; “A d; y or two ago a Strang r called at the house of Mrs Betreley and wanted to Snow of her it she had ost v my jewelry. Mrs. Betreley answered that she did not know, but went and looked, when she found that a set of jewelry worth forty dollars was missing. This she tod the strange?, when he said : “Don’t be afraid ; yesterday iny - self and another man were in your house when and he , the you were away, stole set. After we got out ot doors we had a fight. arM . got the property from him.’ The stranger then took it, from his pock, *t aud g ive it tc Mrs. Betreley, at the same time giving her his name aud street iddress as proof of his genuieness/ TWO DOLLARS Per Annum COURTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

At Bahrin the arid shore has no fresh water, yet a comparatively numerous population contrive to live tlure, thanks to the copious springs which burst forth from the bottom of the sea. The fresh water is got by diving, lhed'.ver, sitting in bis boat, winds a great goat-skin bag around his left arm, the hand grasping his mouth ; then he takes in his right hand a heavy stone, to which is attached a strong line, and thus equipped he plunges in and quickly reaches the bottom. Instantly opening the bag over the strong jet of fresh wa ter, he springs up the ascending current, at the same time closing the hag, and is helped aboard. The stone Is then haul¬ ed up, and the diver, after taking breath, plunges in again. The source of these co pious submarine springs is thought to be in the given hills of Osman, some five or six hundred miles distant, Sitting Balls Designs.— An Indian, brother of Little Oiow, Sioux chie r who , has arrived in St. Paul from Dakota, says at Spotted Tail agency lately he met three Indians who had left Sitting Bull in the British possessions and re* furned to their hunting grounds, because the v were determined not <o take up . arms again under Sitting Bull against wh;te bretheren. They say that Sitting Bulls people are treated very by the English, and that Sitting Bull has expressed a determination to re fuu, to his lands and aie rather than submit to such, treatment.

II). w'iiuuf»._u i ’yw wCT,. A NEW COTTON PICKER. A cotton picker which promises to woik a revolution in the harvesting of cotton, and it is said will do the work of one hundred laborers m the field, has just been invented and patented bv a North Carolina man. The machine is about the s ze of and weight of a two* horse wagon and is upon three wheels, the center one running between two rows and the other two outside of them. Trie two driving wheels, from which is worked tlie machinery, is high enough to carry everything above the cotton, The front wheel is about half the height* and works on a pivot joint, to which are attached the horses which walk between the row?. Tlie picking machine consists of two huidted finger shaped cards bn India rubber, working up and down through the stalks as "the machine ad, vances. These cards will not take hold of any¬ thing but the lint of the open cotton, and takes that whether it is on the ground or on the lop cf the stalk. Leaves, Uvigs and imlls will not stick to them, but the cotton touched in ever so small a degree instantly adlieres, and will not let go uns til brushed off the top bv the bmshor, whence it ia taken on an apron of bands aud deposited in a receptable in the rear in a light straight form, entirely free lrom dirt. The machine is reduced to its lowest simplicity, has adjustable parts, is very durable and easily managed. The driver by leaning back in his seat can stop the picking in order to drive to tire place to unload. This is done without throwing the wheels out of gear. The harvester is estimated to pick out the cotton at the rate of one dollar per bale, and in every way a com [> ele machine, as has been proved by practical use. __ theTlYkea The llhevcs of Griffin that what is known as the ‘chicken torpedo’ is about to be intros duced in that community. The tprpedo is thus described : ‘The invention eon sists in placing a torpedo charged with powder, slugs and bullets in the interior of a prepared fowl. The chicken is placed on a perch as natural as life, and the explosion occurs immediately on its removal. The balls within are so ar¬ ranged that they fly in all directions at the instant that this fowl is removed from the perch or roost, and tiie remover is ceitain to be instantly scattered around in small particles. This ingenious con Irivaace, the inventor claims, is per¬ fectly harmless so long as it remains il n disturbed, and no one is responsible for the sudden death of the parly who tam¬ pers with it except the party himself.’ Dr. Cari-ally farther tells us, seriously, that the-peculiar droop of the hands, sars cast Dally called the ‘kangaroo style,’ and one which was supposed by the com mu nity to be a mere Leak of fashion, ready and truly has ils origin in a partial para** lysis of the extensor muscle of the foi e a'‘in, produced by the use of those out¬ ward poisons. Some fashionable geese of her acquaintance followed suit by crooking their writs and drooping their hands, like so many hens with their wings broken. We learn also that all powders, paint and liquids which impart a polished, scintillating whilenels to the skin, con.-> tain metallic poisons, and are extremely perilous. The more beautiful, the more dangerous. A college boy who received his deg ree at Lnion College only a few months ago, lias been mudered in Colorado for his money. Early this month Mr. Brockel mann went to the Adobe Walls, on the Canadian river, in company with several cattle men, and remained in their camp several da)s. Finally he set out for a ranch in Bent county, having purchased a mare and some provisions. A.stranger from Dodge City volunteered to aceom pany him to the railroad, and the offer was gladly accepted. The two men en camped that night under a cottonwood tree, and five days afterward the stu dent’s body was found on the ground neatly covered with two blankets, His hands had been tied bs'iind his back and his head had been beaten in with bis own gnu, a new rifle, which, broken at the stock, was lying by his side. His horse, his pistol, his coat and his money were missing, but the provisions had been left behind. A New Jersey editor was recently sent f 0 j he penitentiary for libel. They usu a j|y fine an editor one cent for that ok t eriS e, but in this case the probability’ is that, owing to a lack of advertising "follow and a scarcity ouldn’t of job-work, the poor *. raise the money, and was , glad compromise off six ufodibs’ imprison -- »
