SPAIN. ‘The Naval Battle Of the Port of Cartagena. VICTORY OF THE GOVERNMENT SQUADRON, ‘The Intransigente Vessels Disabled and Driven Into the Harbor. TELEGRAMS TO THE KEW YORK HEPALD. MADRID, Oct. 13, 1873. The Intransigente fect has been defeated by the national aquadron, The fight took place Saturday afternoon, near Oartagena, and lasted about two hours, The tnsurgent vessels were considerably injured, and were compelled to return to Carta- gena harbor, The government squadron consisted of the Al- Mansa, Vittoria, Carmen and two smaller vessels, Admiral Lobos was in command. The Intransigente feet numbered four vessels. There is @ rumor that the Tetuan has been cap- tured; but the government has received no such intelligence, and it is thought to be untrue. There ig great rejoicing here over this victory. Additional Details of the Fight. Lonpon, Oct. 13, 1873, A special despatch from Cartagena to the Times gives the following particulars of the engagement between the Spanish government squadron, under Admirai Lobos, and the fleet of intransigente ‘vessels :— “Upon the appearance off the harbor of the na* tlonal squadron the Intransigente Junta held a consultation and decided to fight, although they had no hope of achieving a victory. Sorte of the garrison were in favor of surrendering the city, but the majority*of the men, especially the de- serters from the government army, were deter- mined upon resisting to the last. “General Contreras and several members of the Junta went on board the Numancia. All the morn- ing was consumed by the insurgent vessels in taking in coal and provisions. “At noon on Saturday, everything being in readiness, the four vessels weighed anchor and Sailed out of the harbor amid loud cheers from the populace and the insurgent troops. “Alter proceeding a short distance Admiral Lobos’ feet, consisting of the Vittoria, Almansa, Villa de Madrid, Carmen and two paddie-wheel steamers, were met and the engagement instantly began. “The fight lasted two hours, when the Intran- sigente fect was defeated and driven back to Car- tagena, their vessels being badly damaged. The insurgents showed great spirit, but handled their ships badly, the Numancia at frat having to bear the brant of the battle alone. “The firing generally was at too long a range, but at the close of the engagement, while the Vittoria ‘Was endeavoring to intercept the retreat of the ingurrectionist frigate Tetuan, broadsides were vlogely exchanged between these two vessels.’ The correspondent of the Daily News telegraphs from the vicinity of Cartagena that the naval ac- tion was brought on by an attempt of the in- @urgent fleet to escape to Oran, in Algeria. Additional particulars of the fight show that the Tebel ships failed to support each other. The Nu- mancia fired wildly. The Tetuan behaved with the greatest gallantry, and was frequently cheered by the spectators on the shore, among whom were hundreds of foreigners. She narrowly escaped capture, owing to her boldness in coming to close quarters, An attempt was made by the govern- ment fleet to cut off her retreat, but it failed, A GENERAL BOMBARDMENT THREATENED. A special telegram to the Times says General ‘Ceballos has ordered the people living in the neigh borhood of Cartagena to quit their houses, asa gen- eral bombardment by sea and land will soon be opened. The Killed and Wounded. MADRID, Oct. 13, 1873. In the naval battle off Cartagena thirteen men were killed and forty-seven wounded on the rebel fleet.

Republican Rejoicing Over Sunday's Elections— A General Committee of Management To Be Formed—Coming Elections for Deputies. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Panis, Oct, 13, 1873. The republican Deputies to the Assembly waited on ex-President Thiers to-day and tendered their congratulations on the victory in the provinces yesterday. M. Thiers expressed his gratification at the results of the elections, because it would strengthen the hands of the opponents of mo- barchica! schemes, The Deputies have also genta telegram to M. de Remusat, expressing their joy at his success. The members of the Leit Centre will meet on the 23d inst., the extreme republicans on the 25th and the moderate republicans on the 27th, to designate members of a general committee of management. Under the law the government must order elec- tions for the Assembly in the Department of Aube on the 20th inst. It is probable that elections will also be held on the same day in the Departments of the Lower Seine, the Seine and Oise, and Fintsterre. The Bazaine Trial—Examination of the Accused, Paris, Oct. 13, 1873. The trial of Marshal Bazaine was resumed at noon to-day, The attendance was larger than on any day since the opening. The President of the Court began his examina- tion of the accused, stating that he should con- sider that the prisoner’s responsibility commenced with the 12th of August, He, however, put several questions in regard to events before that date, In reply to questions concerning the disaster of Forbach Bazaine said he had no knowledge that orders were given to the generals direct. He was present at the council of war hela by the Em- peror on the 9th of August. It was then resolved that his army should be brought to the walls of Metz, and the movement in that direction began on the 11th, After reach- ing the city he received no orders to obtain more ammunition, He complained of the carelessness of the intelligence service. He did not receive precise information of MacMahon’s situation until the 13th, and orders to throw a bridge across the Moselle reached him only the day before. He denied that he could be held responsible for the delay and subsequent failure to destroy bridges to prevent the enemy's pursuit. Telegraphic despatches were read showing that Bazaine intended to counteract the flank move- ment of the Germans, but the Emperor prevented him from carrying out his plans, The Marshal, in answer to further questions, especially concerning the 15th of August, stated that he agrecd witn the Emperor to march to Verdun, but delay was caused by the battle of Borny, and he was otherwise hindered. He was unaware the Emperor intended to depart from Metz. He declared positively that the Emperor left no speciat orders. It was well un- derstood, however, tat, inthe event of a strong resistance, the army was to remain at Mew a few days at least, and not go beyond Verdun in any case, After the battie of the 16th Leboouf and Canro- bert agreed with him that it was impossible to ad- vance. Responsible officers informed him that his supplies were insufficient, He declared that he gave Canrobert all the aid he asked at St. Privat. He biamed Ladmirault for not calling up the reserves, In justification of his conduct after the 18th of August he cited the orders he had received to be cautious. The accused betrayed much excitement at the beginning oi his examination, which was long and searching, Sentence of Death on M. Rance. Paris, Oct. 1873. ‘The Council of War, before which M.

AMUSEMENTS. Italian Opera—NiJsson’s Mignon. A most charming pastoral is the “Wilhelm Meis- ter’ of Goethe, with its delicately limned characters, any one of which might inspire a lyric author with ideas sufficient to sketch out an entire opera, The story of “Mignon” is an idylof beauty and poetry, admirably suited to the operatic or dra- matic stage, and, where the heroine has such a representative as Mme. Nilsson and the other characters are likewise fittingly distributed in Mr. Strakosch’s splendid company, success must necessarily follow such @ perform. ance. Such was the cast last night at the Academy of Music. The Mignon of Mme, Nilsson would be a dramatic triumph, even without the additional charm of her pure, fresh, crystal- like voice, the tones of which are penetrating, because they are always electrical in their expres- sive effect. She looks and acts the character so charmingly that the heroine of Goethe is ever before the eyes of the audience and when M. Thomas affords her an opportunity to make use of her lyric powers, she breathes such expression into the music as clevates it far above its true value. Without Mme, Nilsson, “Mignon’’ would, indeed, be a very stupid affair. Messrs. Carre and Barbier, the librettists of the opera, have done better than the composer. There is nothing dull or uninteresting in their work. The action never flags, and the interest is, consequentiy, sustained from beginning to end. Mignon makes her first appearance in the most picturesque man- ner. The gypsies file in procession across the stage, and in their queer looking wagon, a real curiosity in itself, the form of Mignon, so child- like and beautiful, is seen, coiled up among the blankets and bundles of her Romany protec- tors. When her master orders her to prance be- nce, ly rises in rebellion, and little barefoot und her indignation at such e the spirit of the daughter of sanny | stamps on the humiliation, All through as Nilsson is superb in acting and singing. It were a tale twiee told to speak of the exquisite address to her native land in the aria, “‘Kennst du das Land,” and when she apostrophises the scene in the duet of the “Swallows,” with the harper, Lotharto, her charming interpretation of the scene brought im- mediate and deserved applause, In the next act the well known Styrienne and miscellaneous music that diversifies the coquetry and jealousy prevalent in the boudoir of Filina gave ample scope for the exercise of Mme, Nilsgon’s wonderful talent, and she was called out ain and again after the fall of the curtain. The grand scene of jealousy and despair before lirst act Mme. the theatre in which Filina and her company are the main attractions, and where the placid waters of a lake invite to the re that @ suicide de- mands, was maguificently interpreted by Nilsson. Her dire resolve to fire the theatre of her rival's triumph was eapremee with the power of a Ristori or Rachel. In the last act nothing could be more beautiful or effective than her re: ition of her father and her home. Madame Nilsson’s Mignon is an idyl of beauty, and it ee deservedly the first position among her poetic representations. She has done more for the composer than ever the composer can do for her. Next to Nilsson the voice and begs of Miss Cary demanded attention. The réle of Federico is yery small, but Miss Cary made it a prominent feature of the opera. She has shown this season such @ degree of improvement in every rdle she has essayed, that nothing short of hearty, unre- served praise must be accorded to her, Mr. Strakosch cannot boast of a more talented, con- actentious or painstaking artist im his company than Miss Annie Louise Cary, The of Filina serves as @ foil to that of Mi calis for bravura singing Of a high o1 Mile, Torrianiachieved quite a success in this rdte last i She had one long, sd gcena, the Polo- ise, and she far surpassed all her predecessors er brilliant rendering of this tasking scene. A Unanimous encore caused her to repeat a portion of it, Mile. aorrant, throughout, gave the audience ap entirely new | of the character of Filina. Her success was of the most emphatic kind, and never before in this country has the grand Polo- Raise been sung with such brilliancy and etfect. Capoul is the only true Wilhe/m Meister that we have seen in this Opera, It requires a true Freach [ artist to interpret suon a rove, ana Capont raimis all its requirements. His acting and alg were of ® character that ome would not expec find in Modern opera, Applause and encore followed his every effort. Nannetti echpsed even James in bis admirable rendering of the role of Lomae He sunk his individuality m the requirements of o Cheraeter, ‘ ‘ord of praise is due to Signor Muzio, the chef @orchestre, for hia admirable manaje- ment in the representation of this opera, Now @ word or two about M, Ambroisg, Thomas and his music will not be out of plack. The French schoo! of music, a many brilliant rep- resentative: lidiere, Herold, Auber, Gounod and Adam—have shed lustre on it. Halévy’s “La Juive” is wortny of a place among the grand works of the German school. The present great representative of French music is M. Ambroise Thomas. They have made him President of the Conservatoire of Yaris, and his word is law in musical France to-day, Yet his sole merit consists of theft from ever’ source, in’ which he is not 80 skilful as Offenvach, Hervé or Lecocq. His three principal works, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ “Hainlet,’* and “Mignon,” are like a Dolly Varden pattern of the thoughts of abler men. “Mignon,” tn a musical point of view, is a continued series of thefts, clum- sy Ones at that, and musical France was never more degraded than by the placing of the name of Thomas as its chief representative. His orches- tration is only fit for @ variety theatre, and his choruses are not Pores to be placed be- side those of Offenbach and Hervé, The less we hear of M. Thomas’ music the better for the advancement of true art. He is 4 char- latan who has usurped the place to which Gounod, the greatest of ail French masters to-day, is en- titled. The tawdry clothing of stolen ideas which characterises M. Thomas’ music cannot pass cur- rent with the true musician. Olympic Theatre—The “Grand Duchess.” Last evening was produced at the Olympic Theatre an English version of the opera of the “Grand Duchess.” Mrs, James A. Oates sang in the title rove, Mr. William H. Tilla was the Frit of the evening, General Boum, of awful and ponderous corporosity, was enacted by Mr, W. #H. Crane, and the other characters were filled as follows:—Baron Puek, Mr. J. H. Jones; Prince Paul, Mr. W. H., Woodfeld; Wanda, Miss Neilie Larkelle; Baron Grog, Mr. Ed- ward Horam, and Nepomuc, Mr. H. H. Pratt. It would be unjust if not dificult to make any com- Parison between the numerous French companies who have appeared in New York in this, the most popular of Offenbach’s bouffe operas; yet it must be said that the opera was very complete as given last evening. The costumes were new, bright and up to the Parisian standard for correct- ness; and, although a greater part oi! the fire and piquancy of the original must be lost in the translation of an opera bouse into English, Still it is only tair to say that in the “Sabre Song,’ in the second scene of the second act, where Fritz betrays his witless boorishness; in the duet between the Duchess and her latest flame, selected irom tie ranks tor serene favor, and in the last and most trving piece o/ the opera, the “Drinking Song,” it is undeniable that Mrs, Oates acted and sang with a thorough and honest aN apo of the character which had been pre- viously periormed by a host of ladies trained in all the severe minutie of the French stage, which re- quires such hard work {from all its votaries betore a@crown of success can be granted, What she lacked was in that nameless quality o!f sen- timental sensuousness which is the charm and the moral fault of French singers. And let it be said that Mr. ‘Tilla, as Fritz, very ably sec- onded Mrs, Oates, and that he was carejul to- answer the demand made of every good actor, “Action, action,” toan extent that would have bewildered come f or Juteau, or any of the man, gentiemen who have pranced before New Yor! audiences in the character o1 the thick-witted Ger- man soldier, Mr, W. H. Orane’s General Boum was exceptionally good if he could have left out some mannerisms and gags in the early part of the evening, and the modest, careful and gentlemanly parC At eS of Mr. W. H. Woodiield, as Prince aul, Was deserving of high praise. To essay a character once filled with so much credit by Leduc was no slight task, and this rdle if overacted be- comes a bidcous burlesque. Yet Mr. Woodfield dressed the part to an exactness that was com- mendable, and sang so well the “Gazette de Hol- Jande” song ia the second act that the encore was very enthustastic and hearty. Baron Puck (Mr. J. H, Jones) and Baron Grog (Mr. Edward Horam), received @ great deal of commendation, particu- larly the former, who was must droll when he least intended it. The Nepomuc of the evening wasa Mr. H. H Pratt, who possessed an excellent and im- passable face tor the character, but whose iegs ex- aggerated the importance of features, dialogue and impersonation which belong to Nepomuc. Even in a beggarly ttle German prin- cipality having an army of but 500 men, an oficer, combining in his person the duties ol a high class usher and uide-de-camp would not have heen permitted to have converted himseif into a circus rider when entering or leaving the audience cham- ber of a Serene Highness. The chorus, though limited in numbers, 18 @ good one and no person who has ever heard the “Drinking song” in the last act from the lips of the former heroines of opéra bousfe in New York should muss hearing Mrs, Oates sing it in English. « Maebcth” at the Bowery. The shades of Old Drury were stirred to life last evening by the production of the Shakespearian tragedy of “Macbeth.” Time was when every bare- foot urchin of the lower wards of the city lisped Shakespeare, Those were the palmy days when the actors who “‘vamped” their lines or introduced “gag” into Shakespearian parts were re- buked viva voce by the “gods” of the Bowery or the Chatham Street Theatre. Alas! we have changed all that. The blood and thunder drama rules supreme in the hearts of the “b’hoys’’ and the Bard of Avon is all but a stranger to the boards of Old Drury. He has been huddled into the lumber rooms, while the startling emanations of the brains of modern genius chase each other across the stage. If the regular dramatist of the theatre could write such @ play as ‘Macbeth’ he would have Duncan killed on the stage aitera hand-to-hand dagger fight, and Macbeth would end his career in a ‘Mississippi steamboat explosion to slow music and blue fire. aoentabroun after all, is not to be blamed, for he did not live in the age of bursting boilers. He could only write lays with speeches in them which few of our legenerate day can compass in expressing them, It would, for instance, take six men like Mr. E. T, Stetson, of last might’s performance, with their faculties all stretched out, to go around the dagger-speech in “Macbeth,” and it would take two or three of many of the actors who have greater names to accomplish the same feat. These speeches are like old trees, they grow greater of girth year after year, while men remain about the same size. The divine William once rolled them «ll out between two fingers and a thumb, and now it takes scholars years to travel around asingle gnarled old trunk, We prune and chop and trim them, but they are too much for the majority aiter all. It was a crowded house that welcomed Shakespeare back to Old Drury last night, and the best of humor prevailed. From the venerable fiter in the orchestra, who filled the air with Scotch melodies, to the Bowery boys in the perspiring regions aloit, everybody was impressed with the importance of the occasion. But Shake- speare had been so long in the lumber room that he had @ cold in his head, and he moved about the boards like Rip Van Winkle on his return from the Catskills. Sometimes he couldn’t find his way on, and sometimes he couldn’t get off, All the actors and actresses worked with a will to keep him mov- ing, as was his wont, but his joints were stiff, despite the bran new clothes they put him in, Mr. Stetson in particular worked hard, and exhausied his voice and himself long beiore it was his turn to die, When he did die, it with a struggle. Mrs. W. G. Jones put Lady Macbeth througn with her accustomed vigor and power. Mrs. Jones is @ wonderful woman, as AE eg says who knows anything about the Bowery; for she can dance hornpipes and sing and play heroine in anything, from farce to tragedy. The good deeds she has performed and been credited with and the bloody crimes she has egged on and perpetrated since her first appearance @ century ago on the Bowery boards would astound the community if all her roles could be recalled. We must not omit to say that “Macbeth” was given with all the music; and, indeed, when we Tecollect that the performance was only for one night, the completeness of accessories was start- ling. The quantity of red paint on the bandaged head of the “Bleeding Captain,” on the throat of the ghost of Banquo and the face of the first murderer affected the audience ventas The “gods were well pleased, particularly with the murders and combat; and, when Banquo disappeared out of Macveth’s chair, they applauded and declared with satisiaction to Mr. Stetson, “You was badly sold, old man.” Of the latter gentleman we can only say that he has a forehead and an elf-lock i over it like Edwin Booth. That, ta be sure, not much to- wards the a ap. of a Shakespeat hero; but it is something. Mr. th trained his eli-lock alter the pictures of Napoleon on thé eve of Water- loo, and why should not the Bowery trage- dian train it, too, Perhaps if Shakespeare came oftener to the Bower, would not be 80 stiffand lame. To hear his beautiful lines even oorly rendered would do the gamins more good Than the histories of crude horrors, clothed tn ter- rible English, which the “dramatist” of the theatre saws out of the records of crime to suit the mechanical lunacy of the stage carpente: Musical and Dramatic Note: Mr. Daly’s Fifth Avenue Theatre company ap- peared last evening at Mrs. Conway's Theatre, in Brooklyn, in “Divorce.” It 18 unnecessary to speak at length of the performance after the mapy criticisms we have printed of this play. Signor Salvint will play “The Gladiator” at the Academy of Music this evening and on Thursday evening he again repeats his excellent rendition of “vthello.” There are parts in which we have had occasion to speak tavorably of bia acting, and to miss them would be to mise. ely charac teristic performances, YELLOW FEVEn. The Epidemic Decreasing in Shreveport. CONDITION OF MEMPHIS. Forty-seven Deaths from the Fever Yesterday. Material Aid Pouring In from the Sister Cities. SHREVEPORT, La., Oct. 18, 1873, The epidemicis unquestionably on the decrease for the want of matefial ifnothing more, There were hardly any cases reported in the city to-day, and very fewon the outskirts, Yet for all that the gleaner is here gleaning up the scattering ones leftin the heat of battle. It is diMficult to learn much of the progress of the disease among the colvred people, further than the late total by interments, Up to last night ninety-one colored people had been interred. AS o class they pay very little attention to each other, and for this reason the mortality is greater than it otherwise would be. There is, undoubtedly, a great deal of sickness and poverty among them, but their wants are relieved by the Howard Asso- ciation. They won't nurse each other to any great extent, and white people are not numerous enough to care for all. Among the deaths to-day is Mra, Burt, wife of C. W. Burt, the hardware merchant. No prominent citizens were taken down to-day. The majority of those sick are considered as dotng well. itis thought this week will show consider- able jailing off in the number of interments, Forty-seven Deaths in Memphis Yester- day. Mempuis, Tenn,, Oct. 13, 1878, The slight frost this morning has iuspired new hope. Very few cases of fever are reported up to noon. An important feature now noticeable in the disease is that it soon turns its course to recovery ordeath. Many of the cases attacked a week ago are on the street, while those attacked earlier are still confined to their rooms. T. S, Jukes, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias for the State of Tennessee, is down with the fever, and the duties of his office have de- volved upon W. H. Moyston. This Order has eleven patients, an1 there is no money in the treasury, the demands upon them for aid to the suffering Brotherhood having exhausted their relief fund ana contributions. Mrs. Dr. A. Gould, Dr. J. Maury Ryan and Dr. E. D. Hilliard, of Chicago, and Dr. George Palmer and another gentleman irom New York arrived here yesterday and offered their services to the Howard Association, which were accepted, and each en- tered upon the duties ussigned to them. James W. Tooney of the packet Clarksville, a visiting member of the I. 0. 0. F. of New Albany, Ind., died yesterday afternoon, S. L, Weston, a sleeping car conductor on the Little Rock Railroad aud a citizen of Nashville, died at the Worsham House. Genera! demoralization exists throughout the city. The police force has been greatly reduced. ‘The city railroad has been compelled to reduce the number of cars on each of the lines one-fourth, and Superintendent Anderson says that the number running do not yield the expense of the drivers. M. E. Smelzer, city editor of the Avalanche, who has been down several days, is reported to be rapidly recovering. ~The following is the mortuary report for the twenty-four hours ending at six o’clock October ll:— G.

D., Secretary of the Board of Health, The Latest Keport from Memphis. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct, 13, 1873, From the Jatest information that can be gath- ered a slight check is manifest in the course of the malady, though it is almost impossible to get rella- ble statements from any source. Interviews with physicians show a difference of opinion as to the extent of the check; but all agree that the disease has passed its worst and that the mew cases are less malignant and fewer in number, and probably a succession of frosts will follow the one of this morning. Itis safe to conclude there will be no more violent out- break. The fatality will necessarily be heavy for a week or ten days, but aside from this a more hope- tul feeling prevails. There was more business ap- parcat to-day, many merchants receiving and shipping large bills, Several houses to-day closed their doors, to remain so until the afMiction has entirely subsided. As business is now being transacted it does not justify the ex- pense of keeping opem. The work of cleaning and disinfecting the streets and alleys is still going on vigorously. Oartloads of lime were strewn in the gutters on each side of the street yesterday, and the Board of Health is doing everything possible with the means at hand, and is urging citizens to use prescribed disinfecting agents about their premises, and it is confidently believed that in a few days more the malarial poison that has pro- duced such terrible results will be effectually eradi- cated. The contributions received from all sources to- day by the Howard Rellef Association amounted to $7,742 06, It is estimated that less than 10,000 persons remain in the city during the night. Large numbers attending business during the day go | into the country at night. General M. J. Wright, of the editorial staff of the Register, 1s reported very low with the fever, The St, Andrew's Relief Committee report but three cases in their charge, all doing well. At the Waltham Infirmary one death is reported and eight discharged. It was learned from Robbie Samfleld to-day that the Jews have lost fifty-two of their people by the fever up to to-night, and another will probably die before morning. The Appeal will publish to-mor- Tow & correspondence from Brownsville, Texas, dated October 6, which reports the yellow lever raging in that vicinity: The same correspondent represents the cotton and corn crops in fine condition, though the worm has damaged the former to some extent. Several cases of yellow fever were reported to- day at various points near the city on tne lines of the railroads, but it is attributed to persons, going from the city with the infection in their systems, Captain Ross, Superintendent of the Charleston Railroad, to-day notified the Citizens’ Board of Reliet trat he would furnish half-(nre tickets to poor people during the prevalencss of the present epidemic, Complaint was made at the meeting of the Citizens’ Pelief Committee this afternoon that too many hale, hearty men and women made applica’.ion for relief at the different depots where supplies are distributed to the sick and distressed, which was accounted for by the fact that work has been discontinued at all tha foundries, saw milla and planing milis in the First ward, where the greater number was situate, and very little is doing ms eumilac eatah\ebmants elsewhere in the city, which makes ae} Gias'ct liber, pendents of many or that Bp iiipi deste of the Signal Service Bureau, Pitter scnre members of the Howard Asso” n of thia city, and has rendered eMcient service In #!eviating the Sufferings of fhe anitcted.

Mr, Mulvibilf said he woud at once put himself in communication with the editor of the Republican, Undertaker Johm Walch was arrested to-day, at the instance of Dr. R, J. Freeman, Secretary of the Board of Healt,for refusing to farnish a list of the burials to the Board of Health. Walsh is the. same ‘ that refused a report tothe old Board of Hewlth, He is also a member of the Board of Aldermen, from the First ward. Porter Swaine, the only son of the late Judge J.T.

Every woman should be beautiful, just as every man shoull be dutiful. But no woman, ‘however elegantly formed or splendidly gesaloped: can be beautiful unless her “human face divino” is free trom all spot or blemish. ‘And this is the case with very few women. A cle: brilliant, transparent complexion is the rarest thing in the world and the most desirable; but there is now, since Dr._T. FELIX GOURAUD invented his ORIENTAG CREAM, or MAGICAL BEAUTIFIER, no reason wh; any lady should not have a complexion as clear ani bright as crystal. No such certain preventative again: freckles, tan, pimples, discoloration and cies of facial disfigurement was ever dreamed of, beautifying effect isimmediate. Dr. Gouraud has thoue sands of testimonials to this effect, many of them fro distinguished artists, and many ‘from’ the celebrate Dellesin the country, so that now the Oriental Cream has become an invaluable and, in fact. indispensable article of every lady’s toilet. And, for that ma’ let ‘should be without it; for why snould have a clear, pure, pellucid complexiom especially as all the ladies will adore him for it. Now, if hereafter any lady or poutlema submits to be defaced by pimples, tan, ‘freckles, &c., i must be attributed to ignorance of the magical effects in all such cases of Dr. Gouraud's Oriental Cream In pre = senting to the world the Oriental Cream, Dr. Gourav @ feels that he has done sometying towards ‘carrying © at eficent scheihe of nature.
