In our climate, and osving to American modes of Ilfe, not one woman possesses that best boon of naturo—a fair complexion; a gift without which there can be no real beauty, ‘There is no use of repining, becaurc it {8 so. ‘The sensidlo thing, under the circumstances, fs to sco how the defect may be oyereome. Clearly, in this matter, Art must be called upon to supply what Nature has denied, Docs a fair reader ask, How? Toreveal that very secret ia the purposo of this article. “What can’t be cured necd not be endured,” inthis case. An adrolt chemist, named Hagan, Las proviied an infallible means of making tha plainest faco radiant, and of overcoming all the defects which, without his tnyention, often make fo a long martyrdom to ladles of sucicty. Mr. Hagan's x Magnolia :. Balm Ia certainly one of the most marvelous and use- ful products of modcty acience. The united testimony of thousands of fadics reveals the fact that tho Magnonta Baus ts a sure device for creating a pure and blooming complexion, It conceals all natural blemishes fn the must surprising and effective manner. It removes all roughness, eruptions, redness, blotches, freckles, and tan, with magical power. It drives away all evidences of fatigue and ex- citement, Jt makes the plainest face beautiful. It gives the complexton a dazzling purity, and makes the neck, face, and aris appear graceful, otund, and plunip. Tt makea a matron of 85 or 4U took not more thon 20 veara old, and changes the rustic maiden into a cultivated city belic.

SATURDAY, ConsTANTINOPLE, Sept. 16.—The Grand Vizier as informed Minister Layard that Osman Pasha defeated the Russians Saturday, killing ond wounding 8,000. and capturing scveral guns. The fighting before Plevna is still going on. 1M CONNECTION WITH TITS FOREGOING a Constantinople special repeats reports current there last ulght, that the whole Kusslan army hat attacked the Plevna lines, and wero re- pulsed after desperate fighting, losing over $000 men, They then abandoned thetr posi- tlons, retreating upon Sisteya and ‘Tirnoya. Meantime the Houmantan corps on the north- east of Plevna were completely routed with heavy loss, Jeaving nine guns and a largo quan- tity of arme and ammunition on the feld. MENEMET ALL Constantinorin, Bept. 10.—Mehemet Al Pasha tetegraphs that eighteen battalions of Turks on Friday repulsed an attack by the Rus- sian Twelfth Army Corps on Sinaua.

To-day ‘we continue shelling the enemy's fortifications, and the town is burning. According to reports received up to Friday, 239 wounded officers and 9,483 men passed through the hospitals since Sept. 7. The number of killed ls about 8,000.

Tho Russian entry into Armenia, bo says, which was effected on the 2th of Aprit of the present year frotn four points, in many ro- #pects resembles the entry of the Prusalans into hemia in 1866, It tilustrates that principle of strategy to which Field-Marshal yon Moltke owes 60 many victories, and ‘such de- cdsive successes, viz.: the principle of the maln bodies of brogps marching neparately, ‘but acting uultealy. Thus, on the breaking out of the Austro-Pruasian war, :she army of the Crown Prince, that of Prince Frederick Charle and the Army of the Elbe entered Saxony an Bolieria widely ecparated from cach other, in order at tlre decisive moment to unite upon the battletleld of Koonigagratz. Ino similar man- ner, at the beginning of Auguat, 1870, the ad- vance of the threu great German annies wor effected from the borders of the Palatinate and the Rulne province, Although the wholo strength of those armics was not conce! trated upon one ficld uf action, yet the reason for this turned entirely upon the fact of tho enemy also being divided into two groups, and ‘the union of six corps of tho First Army (Prince Frederick Charles’) with the Sceond Ariny (Stelumetz’s), being suilicient for securing the presence of on overwhelining force at the threo decisive san- gulpary battles under tho walls of Metz, The most necessary preluutnary condition, however, for the success of o plau of the kind 16.0 great Independence on the part of the Gen- erals commanding the various columus, which ought to be sulilciently strong in numbers to be able separately tu resist the main force of ‘the enemy until the other colurons have time to come up. In this manner Prince Frederick Charles, after huving attacked tho Austriaus at Kernfusgratz, and, thus commencing the battle, held tls ground until the Crown Prince made his appearance before the heights of Cllum, in tds respect Mr. Dunheint observes the incep- tlon of the first Russian campaign In Armenla was fuulty, Tho four columns which crossed the frontler were too weak, thudistauce betircen them was too great, and the roads ehosen pre- vented their concentration at any other place but Erzeroum; for, until they arrived at that paces they wero separated by innccessi- ble mountain rangea, whoo summits even in summer are capped by eternal snow, and where there exiet neither roads nor even passa- ble defiles. In addition to this, their eommuni- cations in tho rear were by nu means secure, for atthe moment of the Russian troops entering Rusalan territory the Caucassiaus rose In tusur- rection In thelr rear, fettered the garrisous of the whole of the imilitary stations end fortified places, and prevented the cuming up of rein- forceinents sent from the distrlets of Rion or Chur to those colunins who could not calculate upon recelying avy support laterally, TIIE ARMENIANS. INTBRVIRW OF THEI PATRIALCH WITD THE SULTAN, Correspondence London Titnes. Constantinorie, Aug. “4.—I have recetred, on very high authority, the following account of a private audience granted by the Sultan to the Armentan Patriarch, The day before yesterday, the 2d, Mousiguur Nerses, Armenian Patriarch, wont to Yild{ Klosque, at tha apectal invitation of the Sultan, Arriving at the Palace, ho wos met by the Master, of tho Cercino- nics, who conducted him to a orivate walting-roow, whence, after the short apace of a quarter of ‘an hour, ho ‘wes ushered into a magnificent reception chamber, His Holluess prepared an entering to make the ususl low obeisauce, but the Sultanadvanced immediately to shake hands and to prevent thls act of hom- age, and invited tho Patriarch to take a scat iu su arm-chair placed close to front of tho Sul- tan's seat. “BSlre,"" said the Patriarch, “in the presence of @ sovereign like your Bfajesty, it is honor evcn to stand.” “Pray be seated,” replicd the Sultsn, aou the Patriarch then took the chalr, meking a Jow salutation. “How are yout” continued the sultan, also seating himself, ‘1 hope your health is tbe 1 have Jong dcstred to sce you, but walted a favorable opportunity.

Correspondence Landon Times, Sr. Petenspury, Aug. 10.—Now that there is alulliu the military operations, people speak more than ever of the brilliant faites @armes which have been executed during the present campaign. Yesterday I went Into a shop to buy the photographs of some officcrs who have pal- ticularly distinguiahod themselves, and was told that the prices had been raised in consequence of tho increased demand.” “Members of the |. Imperial family,” sald the shopman, “ Russian. Utterateurs, and such people you may haye for 10 kopcke, but £ caunot give you the ‘con- temporary heroca’ (suvremennye gerof) under 15!" The incidents most spoken of are the destruction of the Turkish monitors, the engagement of the Vosta with a Turkish fron- clad, and the siege of Bayazid. Regarding thls Inst, some interesting oflictal documents have juat been published. Asa rule, Russian official “documents arc as dry and heavy as a British act of Parliament. The oflicial frame of mind in which they are concelyed and the heavy lum- bering style io which thoy aru written generally expel from them any human Interest ant ayni- pathy which the subject in ilecl{ might naturally excite, To this rule the documenta fn question form a brilliant exception. They-.are simpty the ontersof the commandant of ‘Buyazid during the siege of the fortress, and are written in the uuuldry style, but they give us the most ine teresting glimpses of the events to which they refer, ‘Thelr frazmentary condition and the absence of all Mterury effort add to their force, as a rough sketch 18 often more powerful, because more suggestive, than a dnished picture. Tho firet order, isaued on June 16, gives us at once © general view of the situation; ‘Sceing that the: fortress may be besieged and the supply of water cut olf, I recommend the Inapectors of Hospital No. 11 to Mtl all the vessels at bis dis- posal, such os barrels, baths, basing, kettles, ete. and to change the water every two days; likewisa the conimanders of the acventh and elghth companies of the Setenty-fourth lofantry Regiment to Mil at sight ‘all the soldiers’ kettles und regimental kettice, aud to empty them in the morning.” After varlous fustructions about arming the non-combatants, partly with the arins of the sick and wounded and partly with rifles captured from the Turks, itis ordercd that all the windows and the gato of the fortress should be bullt up with stones, leaving merely loop-holcs for rife tiring, and that eand-bags should be prepared for the pro- tection of the artilicry, We hear nothing of the approach of the enemy, but the precautions taken were evidently necessary, for on June 18 that ts tu say, two days latcr—wo hare the followinconter: “Glorious Russian Warriors! ‘The cnemy, 25,000 strong, has surrounded us on all efides and cut us off from all communic. ton with the reat ofthearmy. A siege burne obstinately with labor and” privations of all kinds brings honor to our Fatherland, our faith, and our arms, and especially rejoices our Father Czur, who uever forgets heroes. Having suc- vesstully borne this siege you will be real herves, honored by all Russia, because, by standing tirmly in this fortress, you prevent the predatory crowds of barbarous enenifes from breaklug into the Province of Erivan, when they would give up everything to fire and sword, svarlog uelther old inen, nor women, nor chil dren.

THE FAMINE. Correspondence Landon Times, Mapnas, Aug. 8.—All Hindous are charitable by nature. Most familles have crows of hun- gry hangers-on, even In the best of times, but with this great dearth the family burdens have been greativ added to. In going through a street of the more wealthy part of the town, it is common to sce at almost every house a num- ber of poor people collected waiting for the dally dote of food, and in this way the nattve communitics of this and other towns huve Leen dolng quietly and unontentatiously a great deal to help their puorer brethren in the struggle for Ife. But from all that 1 can Icarn distress Is al- ready reaching the class above the very poor. With these there arc caste diMficulties about getting food at the regular relief houses, and many are gradually etarving beforethe pressure becomes so great that they will leave behing their pride and social prejudices and join the common herd at the Government kitchens, With regard tothe Town of Madras the local committees arc now :naking inquiries regarding the numbers of the tetter classcs who are in want of relief, and tals relict will be adminis- tered as far os possitde ina manner consonant with the feclings aud. usages of the classea we wish to beucfit. It is quite certain that the destitution Is very real, Withto astore’s thruw of my own house there is a native viliage tenanted by servants of Europeans, small sbopkuepers, and others, and for some time past my wise has been feeding a few little starvelines belonzing tu this village } 00 bread and milk. ‘These are not immigrants, Dut children of our local poor, and outof adozen little things who come every morning for thelr | food, two or three are so far gone that they will not be raved. If we fed all who wanted’ help | out of this sinall village, we should have bun- dreds on the list. Asl write there comes before mea woman with two clildren, the woman in the last stage of exhaustion, ome child at the breast. with the face like a little wizened la man, and its body a mere skeleton, the other child a Iittle girl of 5B years of ates extremely emaciated and fechle. With this family are two yo: girls. both miseratdy thin and famine-stri y ancl with their strength quite spent. They all speats with yoices that are thi nd sound as if far away, just as happens patients in the last stage of cholera, A litle warm soup aud bread and milk for tho children revives all of ther in a wonderful way, After 2 rest they cet o nieal of curry and rice, and are scot off ina cart to a relief camp. Standing at the eutrance-gute of my house I can in half an hour csunt huudreds of wretched crea- tures who Lave hardly strength euough lett to drag their weary Minbs along. These sre the houatless and homeless wanderers from dis- tant villages, for whom the Government pro- vides centres of relief; but the peagle will not rest quietly and conservo thejr cnerzies. They drag themselves and thelr feeble chiklren about, wanderivg frum camp to camp, until the tie comes for them to Ile down and die. Deaths in the street are getting more free quent. One day last week I saw a small crowd assembled ucar the Government House.
