Women of the upper and middle have far too generally adopted emful and detestable practico of imparting artificial color to their faces and fictitious whiteness to their necks, according to the Daily Telegraph., Some even enamel their shoulders and arms—at least,s0 we are told—animated by a feeling akin to the professional enthusiasm of the provineial actor,who, upon being unexpectedly cast for the part of Othello, promptly blacked him- self from head to foot, in order to be in perfect keeping with the important role f ned to him. Th pounds, the basis of which is too fre- some poisonous mineral 2 dangerous and silly v plainly speaking, a barbarous cu: more honored in the brea observance. Actors and actresses, whose faces are oxposed to astrong arti- ial light whilst they are on the stage, are compelled to use pigments in order to heighten their natural color, as well as to disguise their md\\nlu.ll)u, as thu caying goes, “beyond recognition,” They are, however, for the most part extremely carcful not to apply anything but vegetable preparations to th tions of their epidermis which he undergo superficial treatment in obedi- ence to theatrical exigencies. Many ladies in private life, we regret to say, are not so p.uuvulur, consequently they ruin their complexions and impair their health by ‘‘beautifying” themselves with cosmetics and powders, into the composition of which enter such dele- terious matters as iead and zine, bismuth and belladonna, We entertain all man- ner of objections to beauty shows, too numerous to set down in this place; but, if the coming display in Par serve us o practical protest ngainst the prevalent abuse of “maquillage,” we shall unhesitatingly accord to it the ex- pression of *‘mitigated disapproval.” — A Deluge of Wild Duck, An immense flock of wild ducks alighted along Mahoning’s creek in this town this morning, being bewild- ered by the heavy snow storm. says a Punxsutawnoy special to the Pittsburg Dispateh, The creek was lined with sportsmen on each side for a distance of three or four miles. Hundreds of ducks made to bite the dust, Twenty- five or thirty of the birds were caught alive. They would alight in the deep snow, and, being unable to arise, were 1. One man caught fifteen in this manner. Another fellow got fifty- two with a shotgun, and still another slew twelve with a revolver. Nearly every citizen of the town could be seen this morning with three or four dead ducks in his hands. It would, perhaps, be understating the truth to say that 1,000 ducks were killed in the vicinity of Punxsutawney this morning, and at the present time the slaughter is still going on with unabated vigor. The ducks are of several varieties. One wild goose was caught alive rightin the center of the town. e Death of an Old Pirate. A messenger from the Grand Isle, in the Gulf of Mexico, to-dRy luml;.,hv, news of the death of Captain Rigio, a resident of the island for many years, and who is credited with having been a member of the Imnouakmuf of pirates who, under the command of Pierre and Jean Lafitte, depredated the Gulf Coust from Texas to Florada, says a New Orleands dispatch to the Globe- Democrat. After the close of the career of the Lafittes Rigio became a slave trader, and thus amassed a considerable amount of money with which he pur- chased the major portion of the island converting it intoa supero orange grov Rumor has always bad it that large sums of luum derived by the Lafittes from their s were buried on the islands ~ Sy sepurate Burataria Bay from the Gulf of Mexico, and Capt.Rigio is belieted to have known tho exact location of the weasuve.

Ross, secretary to Harri- son & Barber, horse slaughtercrs of London, told a Pall Mall Gazette ve- porter the other day that they have seven slaughter-houses in the metro- politan arca, '.hu largest being that in the York rc Camden Town. They slaughtered ..v(N)U horses a year. When a horse broke a limb or sustaineda other irremediable injury on the street the police at once communicated with their nearest depot. The compuny had fre- quently been charged with cru- elty in allowing maimed horses lie about for hours before sending men to end their suf- ferings. The truth was they were very particular in this respect. andf such de arre d it was through no fault of th Was horse flesh much used for food? Yes, to a considerable extent, he should say. Their charter did not allow of their selling horseflesh for food purposes, but there were such es- tablishments in the city. He had him- self eaten horseflesh in France, and at the company’s annual dinner it was served to the guests, some of whom de- clared they would not have known it from beef, had they not been told. Fine fat horses were slaughtered every week, horses that w serfectly sound, ex- cept for some accidental injury, and he saw no reason why this flesh should not be eate He had often seen street gamins buy a shce of dried hor: place iv between two bits of bry eat it as a sandwich! Of course, most of the prepared horseflesh passed under the name of catsmeat, but it seemed in- c{-lmlib]o that the cats could consume it al “llvery part of the horse was put to some use—flesh, hide, hair, hoofs and bones. Now that (and Mr. Ross held up a small vial of beuutifully transparent oil) was horse oil. One would scarcely think such oil as that could be got from the horse. Those oth@r bottles con- wmined oils of inferiorquality. They were used for lubricating purposes and for soap-making. M S04 DS, nowa~ days, contained horse grease. Armed with acigar and an order from the secretary of the eempany, our reporter, says the Gazette made his way to the premises in York road. The obliging manager said $hey had had only four horses in Lu-du{. But about seven thousand eight hundred were slaughtered here annuslly. Most of animals were cab,J’bus or tram horses, The establishment turned out about twenty tons of horseflesh every week, They had forty-s1x dead and Twenty-one live horses in now. They contracted with the various eab, bus and tram com- panies for 1njured horses at thirty shil- lings each, .dm, or dend. Most of the live horses they gotin were injured in- ternully by overwork or falling, A few were gone with congestion of the lungs, The work of slaughtering went on day and night, there being two gangs of men for that purpose. Horses “were killed at night by three ‘“knackers.” Fifteen horses were considered a good night’'s work. The sufferings of the poor brutes were soon at an end, as they were rendered insensible by a blow from a heavy axe. and Suit Co., 1516 tea gowns, M any THE LADIES, GOD BLESS 'EM.

Blinded by Hair Dye. Tam told of a well-known young lady here who 1s confined to her room and in much danger of losi g her eyesight from the use of hair dye, says the Louis- ville Post. She was o ;zmull a tall, handsome brunette, but in the past yes has undergone a complete metamorpho- sis, so far as her hair is concerned, and until lately appeared as a_most pro- nounced blonde. It is as well known as any fact can be that these dyes not only very frequently cause the 10ss of sight, but of the mind, and cas: o frequent- ly published of women having gone mad from the use of them. Notwithstanding this, a great number of the young women of Louisville are to-day subjc ing themselves to these terrors for no other reason than that they are dissat- isfied with the hair nature has given th And the worst of it is the custom is asing and there is no telling where it will end. Shopping on Horseback. The other sight, which struck me as being far from commonplace, says Washington letter to the a’hilmlulphin that of four or five young pping in their riding habits. were all fine-looking. "u-l and tl\mr habits were well aad stylishly made; n they were not mere v park riders, for the spattered condition of their habits showed that they had had a long ride through a muddy country. A mal attendantheld the horses of ‘all as the ladies passed store to store and gave their or- for supplics to be sent home. Washington is so accustomed to strange ics 0s the genus homo that it takes something quite striking to attract a second glance ertheless the fair girls I have mentioned drew magny e i tion. How thoroughly proceeding w Every knows how much better one can y personal inspection than in any other way, and instead of being hamp- ered b drawbacks which attend upon getting stores to a remote country home these girls had jumped on their horses and ridden right into Washing- ton’s most fashionable shopping strec to shop at headquart Virginia ladies did this very thing in Martha Washington’s day, but Washington at that time w struggling hamjet, not the wonderful cream-of-cream places it now is. Only a frail, delic had faced the world in a thirf war, and had been buffeted, jostled and beaten, only to renew the attack in the struggle for existence. How many of the hundreds of men and women who saw her pass daily along the street ever dreamed that be- the faded shawl beat a heart ¢ ave and true as any found on the field of Gettysburg or Shiloh. Men ecalled her eccentric and women pronounced her a *‘peculiar person,” accompunying the remark with a shrug of the shoulders anda knowing smile. Strange, is it not, how many volumes may be contained in a simple shrug and a smile? Many an innocent person has been made to suffer untold tortures, has been ecast aside friends and looked upon with disdain by those who owed them nothing but kindness and love, and finally in the darkness of night has ended the life, which God had given, by one mad plunge beneath the waters, which leave no trace of the agony which they have stilled forever. Only a woman! but many a pale face lighted up and many a dull eye grew brighter as that siender, black-robed form crossed the threshold bringing morsels of comfort and sunshine into homes that knew little save sickness and want. And in the silent wutches of the night when ma au suffering mortal’s lips grew pale with agony that quiet figure stole here and there, ad- ministering firs quicting potion, then a dvaught of water, and always a gentle touch and a kind word. Her life was spent among the poor and ueedy, but even the children of the rich, forgetting the contempt for pov- erty’ which fond parents had taught them at home, learned to speak kindly, almost lovingly of the aquiet womdn whose gentle hand had often raised them from the pavement where they had fallen, and whose low soft voice had often soothed their fancied troubles. Children meeting her on the street in- stinctively came to hev for comfort, nor did they come in vain.

She had saved the life of a little child, but the iron heofs of the frightened horses had trampled out the life of one whose heart beat only for others. For years she had come and gone among them—a veritu- ble angel of mercy—save for the weary years of the civil” war, when many a dying soldier blessed with his last faint breath the sweet-voiced woman, who, while ministering to their wants, had sung to them of home and mother. Whence she came none could tell, and none felt that it would be right to in- quire. Sufficient was it that her pres- ence brought sunshine and joyto all alike. Who was she? God alone knows. She died twenty years ago in the city of New York. he died unknown, but not uncared for. Kind bands wiped the death damp from her brow and children of poverty followed weeping to the grave. A Smart Texas “Cow-Woman." So much has been written recently about the exploits of Belle Starr and other daring women on the western ranches that iv isonly fair to say & and odd, A _DAILY BEE: SUNDAY APRIL 21, 1839.—SIXTEEN PAGE word about the most famous ‘‘cow- woman’ of Texas, writes a Willow City Tex.) correspondent of the New York World. She is Mrs. Mary C. Evans, the sister of Buck Taylor, known through Buffalo Bill's W na West show as “‘king of the cowboys.” She made her appearance here twenty-four years ago, when this was a frontier county. At that time the Indians were making raids every month, killing and ing the early sottlors and drivin their stock. The Taylor children, Bax and Buck, lost their parents at an early age, and Mary was raised by hor aunt, Mrs, Ives. Inured to the hard- ships of frontier life she soon learned to take care of herself, and and at the age of fifteen was able to ride the worst bronco or rope the most refractory old cow in the country. At the age of sixteen Miss Mary mar- ried T. A. Evans and moved on to the ranch of William Shelton, on Crab Apple ek. She took charge of exghty cows, milking thirty e daily, and doing her housework at the same time. She often had to climb the fence to save herself from the horns of some wild cow, but she always managed finally to get her rope upon the animal and bring her to terms. Buck Taylor, king of the cowboys, has nothing to boast of above his sister as an oxpert with the rope. She never ropes on horseback, although she is a fine rider. She is the eldest of the three Taylor children, is thirty-five years old and scavcely looks thirty, al- though the mother of nine children. 1f the horses are out of the way she thinks nothing of walking five miles to this place for any supplies she may need. She can throw the tie mark and brand a yearling without help, and keeps an eye on the stock, which leaves time to her husband to look after the farm. The Evans ranch and farm is about five miles from this place, and a hearty wel- come always awaits a stranger there. rs Truly."
