THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1868. FACE-EN K M IXLLNCJ. At we know there is "nothing new nuder the sail," we are not surprised to hear that the inhabitants of ancient Nineveh employed a process whioh ma fairly be termed "ena melling." The (kin was first rubbed with pumice-stone, and afterwards coated with white paint. Mr. Lajard points oat that traces of black and white pigments are visible on the eyes and eyebrows of the soalptnres; these parts of the bas-reliefs appear to have been more carefully painted than any other. The flesh of the lant kiDg of Nineveh, we are told by Athenians, was as white as milk, and his eyes and eyebrows were painted black. .Astyages is reported to have also had his eyes and face thus paiuted. A lady's dressing case fonnd at Thebes contained a goodly array of jars and bottles containing perfumes and cop luetics. Xenophon, in his Cijrop'idia (b. I., o. 3), re lates that when Cyrus, at the agn of twelve years, went with his mother to vUit his grand father Astyages, King of the Mudes, he fouud Limadoined with paint round his eyes, color on his face, and a niaguilicent wig of Homing ringlets. The Kgyptiaus used aUo a black powder called kohl or koluil, which, applied with a wooden or ivory bodkin to the pupils of the eyes, increased thir brilliancy, and made them appear larger a custom still pre valent throughout the ivtbt and, we regret to say, not unknown in tula conutry. Mr. Riin xnell, in his "iJook of Perfumes," tells us that it is made in the following way: The iirtide of a lemon i3 removed, filled up with plumbago and burned copper, and plaood in the fire till it becomes carbonized; then poir dtred in a mortar with caral, saudal-wood, peaib, ambergris, the wing of a bat, and paitof the body of a chameleon the whole haviDg been previouely burned to a cinder, and moistened wUh rose-water while hot. Some think that when Jezebel, in Iloly Writ, is stated to have "painted her faoe, and tired her head, and looked out at a window," it means that she merely gave a dark hue to her eyes. Ezekiel explains this mode of painting when he says: "Thou didst wash thyself, paintest thine eyes, and deckest thy self with ornaments." Face-painting was not practised by the Greek ladies in the time of Homer; but they afterwards used white-lead, and touched np their cheeks and lips with vermilion or a root called pudiros, similar to alkanet-root. The Romans, according to l'liny, used cosmetics to preserve their complexion, consisting of pea-llonr, barley-meal, eggs, wine-lees, harts horn, bulbs of narcissus, etc. A sort of poul tice was made with these, which was kept on the face all night and part of the day. Pop I a a, the wife of Nero, invented an ointment for the faoe, called from her name Poppccanum, made of asses' milk. I Ovid, in his Medicamina Faciei, says that two pounds of the barley brought from the Libyan fields, mixed with an equal quantity of bean-flour, ten eggs, the sixth part of a pound of hartshorn passed through a sieve, and twelve narcissus bulbs, two ounces of gum, as much Tuscan seed, and eighteen ounces of honey, will render the face smoother and more brilliant than a mirror. The Romans also used fucus, a kind of rouge, for the cheeks, as early as the days of Plautus; pots of this substance made of rock-crystal, similar to the modern, were found at Herou lanenm. The rouge, or purpurissus, nsed by the Greek and Roman ladies, was of a rose color, and made of white chalk, dissolved in a strong purple liquid, twioe precipitated. The last precipitate was the rouge. They also nsed a nsed Syrian root catted risium, white lead (cerussa), and chalk (crcta). The use of both red and white paint was, in the time of Augustus, confined to women of quality. We give the following story in outline, to Bhow the etl'fct these things had upon the ancients. It was furnished to Layard's 'Nineveh," in 18412, by Mr. Samuel Birch, of theBritiBh Museum. Arla-ns, King of the Medes, had amongst his subjects one Tarsondes, a man renowned for his courage and strength. Parsondes, having observed that Nanarus, the Governor of Babylon, was very effeminate in his per son, and shaved himself carefully, conceived a dislike to him, and asked the king to trans fer his post to him. The king refused; and Nanarus having heard what had occurred, Bwore to be revenged on Parsoudes. The gallant Mede was induced to drink Bweet wines mixed with intoxicating drugs, and was taken before Nanarus, who asked him why he had tried to supplant him. "Because I thought myself more worthy of the honor, for I am more manly and more useful to the king than you, who are shaven, and have your eyes underlined with stibium, and your faoe painted with white lead." Nanarus then swore by Bel us and by Mylitta (the Babylonian Venus) that he would quickly make Parsoudes softer and fairer than any woman. He had him shaved and rubbed with pumice-stone, bathed twioe a day, his eyes underlined, and taught to sing and play upon the harp, and his hair plaited like a woman's. The experiment succeeded, and the manly l'arsondes became as effeminate as Nanarus. Artans. the King, after seven years, heard of his favorite, and demanded that he should be restered. The ambassador who came with this demand was invited by Nanarus to a banquet, in the course of which one hundred and fifty female players entered the hall, and Nanarus asktd the ambassador whioh of the women he thought superior to the rest in beauty and accomplishments; upon whioh he pointed to Pargondes. The latter was then set free, and oontrived, on his return home, to inflict summary punishment on hid enemy. The orientals use schnouda, a perfectly white cream, composed of jasmine pomade aud ben zoin, by means ol wuion a very natural nut transient bloom is imparted to the cheeks. Thev also UBe latikha, a complexion powder, made of cowrie shells, rice, borax, lemons, aud eggs, with benus aud lentils. Sonnini, iu his "Travels in Egypt," says: "So much care is not thrown away; nowhere are the women more uniformly beautiful, nowhere do they vossess more tne talent of assisting nature, nowhere, in a word, are they better skilled or more practised In the art of arresting or re pairing the ravages 01 time an art which lias its principles and a grat variety of praotioal rfcines." Lady alary v oruey Aurata-m. when In the East, applied some of the celebrated Balm of Meooa to her cheks; but, instead ol mekingher "beautiful forever," her face was red and swollen for three days. (Letter VXTVil 1 The Chinese belles, having at nichl be. daubed themselves with a mixture of tea, oil, and rice-ilour, scrape this otr iu the morning, and anDlvawhite powder called "jueen j?un,- tnniihincr nn the checks and nostrils, aud the tin of the tongue, with a little carmine, and sprinkle rice-powder over the face as a finish linr tnnc.h. Th cHlnbraled Huneary Water was first rrpnared in 1370 bv Uueen Elizabeth of Hun cary. who had the recipe from a hermit, aud bet-ania bo beautiful through the use of it that her hand was asked in marriage at the age of eventv-ttro by the King of Poland. In au ancient French perfumery book, entitled "Les Secrets de Maistre Alexys de Piedmontois," we find the following ourlons formula for a marvellous water: "Take a young raven from the nest, feed it on hard eggs for forty days, kill it, and distil it with myrtle-leave, talo, and almond oil." In a French poem of the thirteenth cintnry (printed iu Fairholt's col lection of "Satirical tfongs and Poems on Cos tume," publinhed by the Peroy Soisiety in 1S4!)), desoriptive of the wares of a meroor, he declares:"! have cotton with whioh they touge, and whitening with which they whiten themselves." Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, introdnced many cosmetios, perfumes, etc., from abroad, into the court of Elizabeth, to the great de light of the Virgin Queen and her ladies. The Duchess of Newcastle (temp. Charles I) recommends ladies to remove the first skin off the face with oil of vitriol, that a new skin may come in its place; a very strange way of improving the complexion. Shakespeare, in Hamht (Aot iii, So. 1), says: "I have heard of your paintings too, well enough; God hath given you one Mce, and you mtke yourselves another." And Evelyn, In his Diary (1055), remarks: "I now observed how the women began to paint themselves, formerly a most ignominious thing, aud used ouly by women of bad character." Bat as early as 1002, we gather from an allusion in Marston's Antonio and Mcllida that courtiers of the male sex occasionally used color for their faces. "Ro3Ja line," one of the characters lu the play, enu merating the faults of her suitors, says: "The filth paints, and has always a good color for what he speaks." Bulwer, In his Artificial Changeling (lli.'O), tells us: "SometiuiMS they think thy have too much color; then they use art to make them palo and fair. Now they have too little color; then Spanish paper, red leather, or other coametioal rubrics must be had." Even Waller complains of his "Saoharissa:" "r.VRmftlion's fate reversed Is mlno; Hjh mnrble took bot h fiesta nodblosd; AU lhat I worshiped nn divine, That beauty now 'tis understood Atr.earn to have no moie ot life Xlian that whereof he framed his wifa." And the Puritan Stubbes, in 1G58, observes: "And first I will begin to touch Upon t his daubing paint; Their pride that way It is so nnifili, It makes my Muse grow fiilu." The Court ladies of Charles II used paint very freely. The author of "England's Vanity" (1GS3) is very severe upon the subjeca of paint. He ends his remarks thus: "The French have a good litany: 'From beef without mustard, a servant which overvalues himself, and from a woman ivhkh painteth, geod Lord, deliver us.' " Mr. Fairholt says Spanish paper wa3 used for the purpose. It was made up into little books, and a leaf was torn out, and rubbed upon the cheeks, the vermilion pow der which covered it being thus transferred to the face. In the Spectator (1711), an unfortunate hus band complains: "As for my dear, never man was so enamored as I wa3 of her fair forehead, neck, and arms, as well as the bright jet of her hair; but, to my great astonishment, I found they were all the ellect of art. Her skin is so tarnished by the praotice, that, when she first wakes in the morning, she scarce seems young enough to be the mother of her whom I carried to bed the night before. I shall take the liberty to part with her the first opportunity, unless her father will make her portion suit able to her real, not her assumed countenance." Walpole says that Lady Alary ortley Mon tagu not only used the cheapest white paint she could get, but left it on her skin so long that it was obliged to be scraped off her faoe. Beautiful Lady Coventry's husband used to chase her round the dinner-table, that he might remove the obnoxious color with a napkin 1 Respecting face-painting in modern times, we know from advertisements that it is extensively praotised. borne paints were particularly used by actors. At me Kauuei, in ner exami nation before the Insolvent Debtors' Court in stated that her profession was a lucrative one, ana mat sue Bomeumes obtained more than twenty guineas for enamelling a lady's face. So that a lady may be swarthy or wrinkled, withered or sallow, and yet ap pear before the world in the blooming graces of sweet sixteen, and 'With curious arts dim charms revive, And triumph In the bloom of ttfty-flvu." We certainly prefer "A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted." A fashion analagous to that of painting, and which prevailed about the same time, was that of wearing biacK patcnes out in various shapes. Glapthorne, in his Lady's Privilege (lu40), says: "Look you, signor, if 't . he a lover's part you are to act, take a black spot or two. I can furnish you; 't will make your face more amorous, and appear more gracious in your mistress' eyes." In a rare broadside, printed in 1U4G, styled "The Piotureofan Angllsh Anticke," we have a copper-plate of a first-rate exquisite in the period, who has Lis face spotted with patches. But this was enly an old custom revived, lor the practioe was fashionable with the Roman dame in the latter days of the Empire. Regulus, a famous Roman lawyer, used to anoint bis right or left eye, and wear a white patch over the right side or the left of his forehead, as he was to plead either for the plaintiff or defendant. In "Wit uestored," a poem printed in loop, we are told of a lady: "H er patcnes ore or every cut, For pimples and for scars; Here's all the wandering phi nets' signs, And some of the fixed btaru, Al tady gummed, to make them stick, They need no other sky," Ttere is a curious engraving of a lady with patches in the form of triangles, half-moons, i orAccoo in ilia t it tw-Yfl (ta t rt a Bur. men by Andrew Jones, entitled Morbus Satani- t ic; or The Sin of Pride (15th ed. 10U0'), in whioh he speaks of it as a common custom with our nroud ladies "to spot their face3 with black patches." Mr. Pepys, it appears, did not object to them, for he declared that his wife with two or three patches loked far handsomer than the Prinoess Henrietta. The same gentleman says that the Duchess of New castle wore many patcnes "because ot pimples about her mwuth." The author of "God's Voice sgainst Piide in Apparel" (1063) says that the black patcheB remina mm of plague grots: "And methiuks the mourning-coaiiu and horses, all in black, and plying in their foreheads, stand ready harnessed to whirl them to Acheron, though I pity poor Charon for the darkness of the night, siyoe the moon on the cleek is all an eclipse, and the poor stars on the temples are clouded in sables, aud no comfort left him but the lozenges on his chin, which, if he pleases, he may pick off for his told." A writer In the World, for 1751, says: "lhcufeh l liave sen wilh patieuoe the cap diminishing to the size of a patch, I have not with the same nnoonoern observed the patch enlarging itself to the size of a can. It is with great sorrow that I already see it iu possession of that beautiful mass of blue which borders upon the eye. Should it inorease on the side of that exquisite featnre, what an eclipse have we to dread I But surely it is to be hoped that the ladies will not give up that place to a plaster which the brightest jewel in the uni verse would want lustre to supply." The present generation may possibly witness a revival of the fashion, as it has witnessed the reappearance of the hoops, high-heeled boots, long gloves, etc., of the Gregorian period.

MDIRUEID, JOSfiPH P. TOBIAb. THE "OLD OAKS" CEMETERY Is situated on the Township Llue road, at the Inter section of NIceiown laie, and embraces blxty-nlne Acres of romanllcally beuutl'ul laod. It Is the estate known lor many years as "Old Oaks," late the ooun try seat of John Tucker, Esq, The name la taken from the great number and un usual thrift and beauty of ihe majestlo "Old Oak" trees now growing on tbe property, aud which lend to it a charm and appearance of permanency peoullarly In harmony with the purposes to which the ground Is dedicated. No belter selection of location ior a Cemetery could have been made. All the advantages possessed by each of tbe other Cemeterlts are combined In Hi Is. It Is ceutral In situation, and easily accessible by good roads from all directions; It Is perfectly convenient to and Is but a sjort dlstauce from Gerinantown, Manynnk, Nice to wo, Franktord.and Btldesburg.aud can be reached from all parts or the City of PhlladeW phia by means ol Broad street, which Is now the most attractive and commanding ,1a appearance of any avenne not only In this city, but la the whole conn try, and which Is free from those Interruptions and delays which render private travel on most of oar highways not only disagreeable but often dangerous. It extends tor long distances on both Nlcetown lane and theTownshlp Llue road, and will have tbrea main and ornamental gateway, so as to a (lord facili ties for Ingress and egress from all directions, and the drives through the place, and all the approaches to I. are so arranged that Its embell shmeats and superior advantages cannot fall to be at ouce seen and appre ciated by the visitor. It ts tbe Intention ot the proprietors to make "Old Oaks" tbe most beautiful Cemetery In Amerloa, and thearullclal decorations, the lakes, drives, walks, and horticultural ornamentation will give it an appear ance unsurpassed by any other ever brought to publio notice, and will tend to sfllay tbe feellDg or gloom ollen caused by the sombre and funereal aspect so prevalent In Cemeteries generally, Tbe Buildings on the property are well known aa the most costly and handsome ever erected by private cupltal. The Mauslou will be used In part as a Chapel, and the surroundings beautified In keeping with the character of the place; In a word, the Pro prletois wish to do away with the leellng of repulsive tees so often associated with Graveyards aud Cuarnel Ileuses, and bold out every luducementto thetrleuds aud relatives of tbe depurted to visit the grounds which cau'alu relics so preolous lo them, The"01d Oak." will be made an object of Interest to cttangera, es well as residuals of Philadelphia, and w hile the solemnity of the scene will uot be violated, yet tbe Impression wl.l be couveyed that Ceatb Is a mere separation, aud that those who have fuughc "life's battle" aie ouly resting from their lab jra, and are always kept alive lu the memory of ihelr sur vivors. The grounds will be open to Vlsl'ors At all hours during the day.
