And, as It occurred, it might have been, may be, That each got n kiss, Sam, Ann, and the baby I It's hard to tell what Just then was tho matter, For tho baby was the only ono innocent there; And Annie Hushed up llko a full blown peony, And Samuel turned red to the roots of his hair; So the question is this you can answer It, may ho, Did Annie kiss Sam, or did both kiss the baby 7 UlisfcttnMoii5. LOVELY WOMAN. How she makes " Un"Tte Mysteries of Shape ana Complexion JJalr, Lmton ana Cosmetics Belladonna, Arsenic ami Anti'JHlious Pills. Notwithstanding tho intimate associ ation of men anil women slnco tho day when Adam and Evo founded a colony on a fruitful llttlo tract of jirc-oraiitetl land In County Eden, Palestine, tho ono sex lias over been a mystery to tho other. Sympathizing with womon.and understanding them on most -points, thero lias still remained cortain subllo ties of character which we, as men, havo totally failed to comprehend. Study them as wo may and most ev ery man is studious in this matter, if In no other tlicir Inner natures still ro- main a mystery. It would taUo too much tltno and spaco to particularize, but wo will mention a few curious points of dlffereneo between tho sexes. Two couples, each composed of man and woman, passing on tho street, tho oyea of tho man will Invariably bo found to flrst rest upon tho woman np prciichlng. First glanco to boo if ho knows her. Second, If sho Is protty, and If sho is, tho glanco is tolerably suro of being extended to a continuous stare. He may, If tho lady is not particularly haudsomo, tako In, with a sort of con temptuous staro, her inalo escort. Sin gularly enough, tho observer will no tlco a surprising agreement of malo and femalo tastes In this particular. Tho ladles will bo found to look at each oth er, instead of at tho gentlemen. Men who wrlto average novels tales of tho trials and tribulations of two fond creatures finally mado happy by tho inovltablo marriage always ox haust thoraselvcs In making Inventory or (no personal charms of tho hcrolno. Tho air, hair, oyes, mouth, complexion lect ana hands or tho angel aro elabo ratoly eulogized, with tho view of ma king tho reader fall dcsperatoly In lovo with tho Ideal divinity. Alabaster, sapphlro, ruby, peach-bloom, ambrosia and other precious elmllics aro cmbo rately and lavlehly expended in tho work of portraying tho personal beauty of tho precious sho, whoso troubles aro to bo wept over, and who is to bo tri umphantly steered, nt last, through all tho dangers that environ true lovo Into tho heaven of matrimony. When a woman writes n novel nnd a great ma ny do wo observe again n singular co incidence with mascullno propensities, from which wo might infer that thoy aro as much lu lovo with thcmsolvcs as wo aro. ,S7ie also, llko tho malo animal Who harrows up our souls exhausts her descrlptlvo powers hi gloating over tho beauties of tho heroine. In nothing do men fall so complctoly short of a full understanding of women as lu tho matter of dress and personal adornment. Whllo their gallantries nnd deportment aro largely founded on tho opinions of tlio opposlto sex, they observo with wonder that women dress for each other, Tho cntlro mascullno divl3lonofthohumanraco,withthopross and tho pulpit forItsmouth-pieces,raay bo arrayed against ono particular fash ion, and tho contest is hopeless, so long as tho beau sex aro themselves satisfied with It. Outraged good tasto and hygi enic laws may cry aloud to no avail. Illdlculo and earnest entreaty aro allko useless. Fashion U arbitrary, and whllo women can defy ridicule In men, they aro keenly ullvo to tho ridicule of their own sex, mercilessly directed against all who rebel against tho decrees of tho tyrant. But whllo women dross for each oth er, thero aro cetraln abstruso mystories of tho toilet designed with express to- gard to their effect upon malo admi rers. A fow of theso wo propose to consider iu our article. Tho dry-goods, tho ribbons, tho jewels and tho head gear aro worn with a viow to exciting tho envy .or admiration of tlicir sisters. It is only in tlio matter of complexion that they attack tho other sex. IIAIIl. Thero is nothing in art or naturo more beautiful than a woman's hair, if loft in its natural state. But restless and meddlesomo fashion cannot lot it alone, Can anything bo moro obsurd, hideous and uncounfortablo than tho present stylo of head-dress ? In this misting, suffocating weather, when per spiring humanity seems iu Imminent danger of evaporation, woilndourlady friends going about with hugo raoun tains of hemp or hair tied on tho backs of their heads aud necks, Thero aro "Japancso switches," with short curls, rolled around n hot slato pencil, on the neck, in front of tho ears, and top hair, burned just enough to roughen It; "Cliantelaino braids;" frizzed or scram bled hair hanging In loose masses over tho shouldcis, and hair in overy possl plo shapo except that of naturo. A wo man wearing her own natural hair is a novelty. No matter how soft and silky it is sho must roughen it, and causo It to look ridiculous by crimping. No matter how much thero is of It sho must havo more, aud build up fantastic shapes. A lady with whom we discussed tlio hair question, and ono to whom na turo has been moro than ordinarily gen erous, excused herself for wearing pur chased hair on tho ground thathcrowu "wouldn't mako any show." But why do they want to makoa "show?" Could v,o bo mado to bellovo that theso hot, uncomfortable and cumbrous structures wero composed entirely of natural hair, growing on tlio head of tho wearer, tho sizo of tho heap "tho show" mado would indicaton growth which, if left looso flowing over tho shoulders, would drag tho street sixteen feet In tho rear. SlIAl'E. Women aro seldom satisfied with tho form naturo has given them, and aro continually experimenting with a viow to improving it. If too fat, sho resorts to a freo use of acids. If too lean sho pads. A certain fullness of bust is deemed Indispensable, and to accom plish this, various contrivances aro ro- sorted to. Itaw cotton has tho advan tage of keeping its place, but Is open to tho objection of being too hot for mid summer use. Pads of curled hair aro popular, tho cafes being mado various ly, but always with tho outer side ful ler than thu inner. Sometimes (ho ca ses aro IiaiuHiinoly trimmed, but It Is generally brides that indulge in this freak'. Sonio wire inventions look llko a bent and twisted Hour sifter, minus tho frame, but they aro not popular on account of their liability to bo pushed out of plaeo by an inadvertent movo mcnt, sticking out in a curvo which Is anything but tho lino of beauty. Au Ingenious invention is a pad.iuado with a spring In tho ecu tro, designed to yield on slight pressure. Theso contrivances aro designed for tlio bewilderment of tho lady's partner in a waltz, but, though artfully contrived, it Is not ap prehended that they aro content to de ceive tho very elect. Tho required shapo In tho bustle region is given by skeleton wires in muslin eases, though it very common practico Is to tiso news papers. "What's tho news iu your Ga zette t" is frequently asked when young girls aro assembled. BELLADONNA. This deadly poison Is extensively used to impart brilliancy to tho oyes. It Is sometimes taken internally, but n less dangerous and moro common modo Is to apply with a camel's-lmlr brush to tho skin lu tho outsldo comers of tho oyes. Tho effect is soon oUcrvablo In a peculiarly brilliant nnd clear appear- anco of tlio eye, entirely changing tlio oxprcssion, Tho Initiated cau tell n belladonna eyo on sight. Tho habitual uso of this deadly agent produces seri ous consequences. When not undor Its Influence tho eyo Is dull, lustcrlcss and flshy In oppeaianco, and In somo In stances partial or total blindness oc curs. Tho number of ladloj given to tho habitual uso of belladonna Is much greater than wo would suppose Tho operation Is conducted with great secre cy, as a general thing, but children do tect their older slstors In Its uso, and, as tnoy grow up.tako to tho practico them solves. Young men paying attention to somo particular lady, with ft viow to matrimony havo often boon puzzled to account for tho various phases of tho oyes 2, 1870. they worship, Thoy find them uniform-1 ly brilliant In socIoty,but an unexpected call sometimes catches tho nngol una wares, with oyes almost fishy In their lackluster want of. their accustomed stimulus. After marrlago nn accidental rummaging of tho lady's bureau nnd tho discovery of tho mysterious llttlo brush and tho belladonna vial, lets a flood of light in upon his bowlldorcd brain. . PENCILING. India Ink enters largely Into tho ma king up of a fashionable lady. Tho brows and lashca'aro penciled with It, and frequently a tiny horizontal mark, on tho corner of tho eye, Is found vory effective In producing tho desired ap pearance. Tho work requires to bo or- tlstlcally dono, as a bungler not only falls to Improvo her appearance, but succeeds In making herself hideous. Tho practico of penciling is harmless, and thero Is no good reason why It should not bo Indulged in nt discretion. A118ENIC. Tho uso of arsenic as a beautiflcr pre vails to a greater extent than Is gener ally suspected. It Is taken internally, and Imparts a whiteness and clearness to tho skin which Is coveted. Tho prac tico is carried on secretly. As it is dif ficult to get arsenic except on prescrip tion, and its uso by inexperienced par ties Is excessively dangerous, most la dies tako it through tho connivance of tho family physician. Fowler's solution or Donovan's is tlio usual shapo In which It Is administered. Tho patieet who is ambitious of rivaling tho beau tiful snow in tho whiteness of her skin complains of imaginary eruptions, and thinks sho needs an alterative A lady friend of hers was nlllictcd in tho same way, and her physician gavo her arso nic, which curod her. The dlscrcot phy sician takes tho hint and prescribes ac cordingly. It is n pleasant little farco, which both feo through. Somo girls, who nro not up to tlio prescription dodgo chew card board or heavily enameled paper, in .tlio manufacture of which arsenic is used. This practice is infinite ly worso than taking the stuff. Arsenic is a cumulative poison, and its contin ued uso results in tho most disastrous consequences. It invariably kills, soon er or later, unless tho habit is aband oned, nnd once established it holds the victim as tightly ns whisky or tobacco. ANTI-UILIOUa BEAUTY. Wo ouco know a lady who laid great stress on tho matter of complexion, and sho was in tho habit of taking, tho night beforo any social event in which sho was to participate transpired, a heavy doso of somo drastic medicine, that sho might appear on tho sccno palo and interesting. It was a very gay and festive season, and alio barely managed to live through it. COSMETICS. Tho various paints, washes and pow ders aro too well known to need des cription. Some, as the rico and chalk powders, aro comparatively harmless, while many aro composed of lead, bis muth, or other mcatals, and aro deadly In tho extreme, producing partial para lysis, blindness ond sometimes death. Carmine in solution penetrates thoskin so that It has to wear off, and henco Is better for tho Hps than tho cheeks. Va rious shades aro used for tho cheeks and chin. Tho use of damask roso is con sidered bad tasto. Application is uiudo by rubbing on with a bit of kid glovo or picco of stocking leg. Painting is a work of art. A daub Is horrible But carefully and artistically dono, tho whito over tho red, tho effect is good. In face painting, however, th aim is not to iuiitato nature, ns ver. fow ladies in comfortablo circumstances know anything of natural complexion. Tlio rich, healthy, brown and red color of a romping country girl, who has plenty of air, food and exercise, would bo deemed coarso and vulgar. Tho standard complexion of fashionablo so ciety is that of a blanched turnip-top, grown in a cellar, with a hectic flush of carmine added, Tho fashionablo lady has a mortal horror of sunlight, and If caught upon tho street without her par asol, oven with tho sun only an hour nbovo tho horizon, sho may bo observed carefully Interposing n fan, a nowspa per or a handkerchief between her pro clous complexion and tho destroying rays of tho b.mcful luminary. A Goon Recommendation. A pat ent medicine vender In ono of our prin cipal cities, was dilating to n largo crowd upon tho wonderful efficacy of his iron bitters, pronouncing them tho great panacea and all-potent in build ing up nn "Iron constitution." "That is so that Is to," said a by stander, "What ho tells you is a fact, gentlemen every word of it." "Hear that, will you ?" cried tho do lighted quack; "hero is living testimo ny right beforo your own oyes a tnuu who has used tho bitters and can recom mend them." "No, not exactly that," replied tho fellow; "I havo nover used tho stuff myself; but, you seen, Steve Jenkins did and thoy Just saved his life." "How's that?" questioned oomoone. "Well, you see, Stevo had taken tho bitters jeit ono week beforo ho was shos'ed in prison for murder.

General Orniit Interviewed by ii Chicago ncporlcr iiih uiumoii or tho FlRlit How Gcrninny may bo Whipped. From tho Chicago Times. Tho views of General Grant on tho conduct of tho European war nro some thing which all tho world has nn inter est In knowing. Tho enterprise of tho' Times was exhibited during tho lato visit of his Excellency, by obtaining, nt somo length, tho General's opinion of matters on tho Rhenish frontier. Tho Genoral, in response to n ques tion ps to his opinion of matters be tween France and Prussia, said that neither party understood war as ho un derstood It. Hero tho reporter of tlio Himes ven tured to assert a cordial Indorsement of tho remark of his Excellency. "Permit mo, General," said Mr. Scammon, "to ask you to point out what you concolvo to bo tho chief blun ders of tho campaigns thus far ?" "Franco," said tho General, as ho lighted a fresh cigar, "mado a blunder in commencing war upon a people of equal sizo aud strength. Tho true way to mako war is to always havo three to your eueray'a ono. An Illustration of tbo fact was given at Shlloh, Tho ene my thero was within a third as largo as my own force. Hence, tho disaster which befel mo." "But, General," said tho reporter, "havo you no faith In manoouvering or in strategy, whereby inferiority in point of numbers can bo equalized by superiority of brains ?" "Nona whatovor. Sherman played that out in his march to tho sea. You see, tho Confederacy was only a shell, and that is why he met with such suc cess. Ho had no opposition. My own experlenco proves this. In all cases whero I attempted any of theso new fangled operations, I was beaten." Hero Mr. Colfax, with a very sweet smllo inquired as to what tho General thought should bo dono by Napoleon. "My Idea," said tho General, "Is that ho should got Butler and Banks to com mand army corps In tho Prussian forces Then ho should conscript overy French man that can carry a musket, and send him iu. Prussia has only 30,000,000 in habitants, whilo Franco has 10,000,000. This 13 a clear differenco in favor of Franco of 10,000,000. Now let Napo teon keep hammering away at tho Prus sians, if It takes all summer. I am of tho opinion that tho superior activity of tho French, aided by their chassepot their clan, their traditions, and their suporior navy, will cnablo them to kill a Prussian as often as they can a French man. Henco it Is a clear case that if Napoleon hammers away till all tho Prussians aro killed off ho will havo 10,000,000 left. In other words, his cat's tall is tho loncest." "What is your opinion of Napoleon personally?" asked Mr. Joseph Mo- dill. "Ho Is a grant man, ho smokes al ways and nover says anything. Ho was onco in humblo circumstances. Ho was nover, however, In tho hido busi ness, except so far as hiding himself is concerned." Hero General Dentbroko into uproar ious laughter. Ho aftorward remarked to our reporter that ho was hired to laugh at Orant's jokes; and, ho added, ho flattered himself ho was doing a very extensive business on a very lim ited capital. General Grant puffed stoically uutil Dent had finished laughing, and he re sumed : "Napoleon is my model. I havo stood beforo his portrait by tho hour, trying o mould my countenanco into tho sto- ; Incxpressiveness that characterises I am not certain but that I shall Ii. tato his coi d'etat. Ho roso from obscurity to boa president. So did I, Ho roso from president to emperor; and If I don't follow suit it will bo becauso Congress took tho trump out of my hand when It reduced tho army." "Well, now, Genoral, tell us what you think of tho Prussians," said Mr. Greonebaum. "Don't llko 'em," ho responded, sen- tentiously. "Why not, your Excellency ?" "Well, I don't. They want office too much. Why, I havo had moro than a hundred thousand applications from Dutchmen for office, whoso only recom raendatlon was that they 'fought mit SIgel.' As voters, I havo no objection to them. During the war thoy stole everything, so that a natlvo had no chance," Tho Gencrnl proceeded to comment on Prussian strategy. Ho did not Iiko It, ho said. They wero in too much of a hurry. Here, now, In less than n month thoy havo hardly a million men in tho field, which was a shorter timo ho said, than ho required to movo his army from Fort Henry to Donelson a dlstanco of onln thirty miles. This ce lerity, ho remarked, Is destructlvo .of all precedent. Tho Prussians havo gono farther In ten days thau ho went In ten months when moving on Rich mond. Ho further thought tho Prussian movo n blunder. In placo of going to ward Paris by way of Mctz, they ought to cross tho James river and go round by way of Petersburg. Thero aro nei ther dignity nor sexiso in this way of rushing straight nt Paris with a big ar my. Tho Prussian leaders ought to hold on and see who Is going to bo tho next President. This making war for war's sake, was not, in his opinion, tho truo principle of warfaro. All wars should havo the high and beautiful ob ject of returning the men of ouo'sparty to Congress, and tho election of one's candidate to tho Presidency. At this moment It was announced that lunch was ready, aud tho party broko up. Can a Man Swim in Oil. This question was practically solved by a workman employed In an oil manufac tory of Nice, who fell into a tank of oil nluo feet deep. Ho was nn expert swimmer, but ho went to tho bottom llko a plummet, and was only Baved from drowning by tho timely aid of r comrndo. Oil is too light to swim in: it Is not sufficiently buoyant, and does not ouor uio reslstcnco necessary to keep a man afloat. KiVTES OF ADVfiimSlNa. One square, (ten llnc oilU cqulvalont.

I saw tho salo of a family last weok for dobt, whllo tho husband and father was in California; and perhaps I cannot do better than tell you nbout It. Thero wero fivo chlldrcn-thrco girls nnd two boys. Wo had passed them throo timo In our chairs during tlio day as thoy stood besido tlio road dressed in their holiday ultlro of black. Tho silence they observed whenever any person passed, nnd their downcast looks, crea ted curiosity on our part to know their business there. Arr Hung, our waiter, was called up and asked tho causo of this llttlo parade. "Why," said he, "tho girls, and perhaps tho wholo fami ly aro for sale." Wo stopped our chain and stepped out to havo a talk with them, using Arr Hung as Interpreter. Tho mother was wrinkled and gray, and hung her head as If sho wero afraid to look us in tho face. But tho children, with tho exception of tho oldest girl, looked cheerful, and wero quite pleased with their holiday attiro. Tho oldest girl was sixteen and tho oldest boy fif teen. So said the gruff old broker who had tho party in charge, and -who iciinetl quite anxious to dispose of his wares. After a great deal of quizzing and evasivo auswera, tho broker told us that the husband aud father was in California and had neglected to pay his note given for Ids passage, and that his family wero now offered fur salo to pay tho debt. Ho hoped to bo able to pay tho debt with tlio salo of tho two oldest girls, but as yet had received no offers. Ho said that tho family became securi ty voluntarily, and ho never know of a case whero they did not voluntarily of- for themselves for salo if tho note they secured was not paid. In reply to our questions ho said that when a customer bought a child or person, tho person was made at once tho owner of thochlld body and soul. No Chinaman would disputo tho purchaser's right to do aa ho pleases with tho human being he had paid for. Tho boys would mako good servants, ho said, and in tho courso of a few years bo worth a fortune to tho owner. Tho girls would mako cood "armers" (or nur.ses, as they aro called in America.) Ho would show us their physical beauty would mako them sing and play tricks if wo thought of buying. How much would wo give? Tho oldest girl ho would sell for $100; the next ono for $200, and tho llttlo six year old for fifty. Tho boya ho could not sell until tho girls wero disposed of. Wo thought tho prico too high. The market was glutted with saleablo girls, and ho must not think of getting over 5100 for tho oldest and handsomest, whilo for tho llttlo ono ho must not oxpect moro than $10. Ho sneered at thal.and said that Englishmen always talked In . that way when thoy wanted to buy. Whilo wo wero talking, apartyofbluo robed Chineso aristocrats catno up and begun to inspect tho family, they opened tho mouth of tho oldest girl, rapped on her teeth to seo if thoy wero sound, thumped her ribs, laughed at her llttlo feet, told her to show tho whites of her oyes, ordered her to sing and to show them tho trinkets which tho mother had given her as parting gift. All til l whilo tho salesman kept up n constant j lbber, in which wo took no interest. Tnro pressing, wo passed on, leaving tlio parlies disputing about tho prie-, and discussing tho probabilities of thoir running away if taken to Hong Kong. Alter mauing our call, wo returned the snmo way to ascertain tho result of tlio salo. Only tho mother mid tho hoys n cro left. Tho debt was only $300, and $50 of it still remained unpaid. I huvo been often told by residents In China that tho parents would us soon tell their children as a cow or pig. And I had begun to bellovo that .such was tho ru-o upon passing tho group tho first tim. But tho scene had changed. Tho girls were gone, uud now n boy must goalv.. Tho mother sat In tho dirt, with her arms around tho youngest, walling lu a most piteous manner, and, as Arr Hung said, cursing tho men that sold her husband a ticket to America at $300, which cost them but $10. Tie broker sat listlessly by, fmoklng his plpo and twirling his cane, lookingns if it was tho fninlkfct matter of busino-H with him. Tho boys were crying, and seemed very much afraid of us, now It wus curium mat ono oi mom must go. But wo parsed on, nnd loftlhcmin flu lr misery. Wo never know whether tho boy was sold to a childless man, to l.o treated ns a son, ton Porlugueso to bn earrifd to tho West Indies, under a nominal contract, or to a natlvo land owner, to btcomo his slave. But that ono of them was sold Into servitudo fur tho turn of $50 thero can bo no doubi ; Tho girls wero doubtless purchased for tho vilest purposes, unless thoy had tho rare luok to fall Into tho bauds of t-omo native in search of a legitimate wife. I am told that tho prico of girls has gono up within a few months, oiving perhaps to tho fact Hint a less number of emi grants hnvo forfeited their bond In Cal ifornia than was tho ca.co tlx months ago. I was shown four bright, plump, rosy appearing girls yesterday, who wero purchased less than n year ago, tho whole lot for $S0. Now they will fell readily for $300 each, 77oir7 Kono Cor respondence Boston Traveller. "If you do not clcso that windew, waller, I shall dlo from tho draught," said a lady at dinner.
