Iet goathern Waen eeep Their Complex "WILLOuoBY," the entertainine New York correspondent of the Augusta Con atitutionalisi, writes thus concerning the new art of enamelling the female integu mebt. It is a most horrible process, and we are glad that most Southern wo men are too poor to indulge in it. Won der if they wont eventually devise some plan to scoop out the whole face, and re place it with a prettier one ! That would be something worth while taking hold of. But let the ladies listen to "WILLOUGHBY:" An interesting branch of business, which, though quite familiar to the Pa risians, is somewhat novel to the ci:izens of New York,- is that of enameling. The belle, whether married or single, who has decided.to adopt this method of renewing the freshness of her waning charms, un dergoes, as a preliminary, the somewhat trying ordeal of a microscopic, inspec tion, and while submitting to a scrutiny so severe, the smallest imperfections up on cheek or bust, such as any rough hairs or furzy, are removed by the application of linament plaster, or medicated soap. Thus prepared, the face and the neck of the fair one, or the one desirous of be coming fair, which ever you may please to term it, is covered with a coating of enamel composed of arsenic, white lead, etc., which is made into a semi paste and agreeably perfumed. This application will endure, ordinat ily, no longer than a day or two, but as it is desirable that the improvement should be lasting, the. pro cees isgenerally renewed every few days for the space of some weeks, and in this process, the trimming and penciling of the eyebrows is not untrequently inclu ded. Sometimes the fair-subject of these operations, or, as we said above, the sub ject about to become fair, wishes only to be specially captivating upon some. spe cial occasion, or, her funds possibly, may be in a low condition, in which case she is enameled only pro ten., and pays ac cordingly ; in such instances, the chage being only from ten to twenty dollars. In other cases, where the lady wishes always, and upon all occasions to charm to the utmost her attendant admirers, she makes a more permanent business of I%,-and is rendered faultless, so far as complexion goes, for the space of six months or more, at a cost which varies from two to six hundred dollars. HEaLTH AND VrrAIr.--It seems as iftsdden deaths were on the increase, and it is possible that the hurry, excite ment, worry and prolonged exertion t,f modern life, not to mention the -gen eral disregard of the law of health, may account for the fact. The Boston Jour nal, referring to the death of Mr. Ray mond, says : We know a merchant in this city, the head of an extensive and prosperous hos~ who boasted that for twenty yeers ~ had never taken any recreation, or,.o week days,ybeen -absent from his business. Anid yet he died suddenly and a bankrupt We cannot, of course, say, in a case like this, that if such a man had been more observant of the laws of heakb, he would have attained to the age of Father Cleveland, but it is a tenanable supposition that he would hyil4.1ed longer than he did and en '~u l Ufe more. - bas been said that it is well for aben'4o*ave some complaint, or the ap pgiraenion of some hereditary disease jes6eegh to keep them on their guard a iahe them pay some sort of atten tiog o-the laws of life or health. We anillos everything to whatever we un detake.--bsiness, pleasure or study evien to idleness. Whatever the most - mei'de, they do-it with a will Hans and Gottlieb, two Teutonic friends in Buffalo, recently had a drink ing match in a beer garden. They pro gresseid "neck and neck'' to the fifteenth gl;.time, three-quiarters of an hour. Teclock struck ten. Hans loaked at Gotlieb anid Gottlieb looked at Hans, ansed both looked at the sixteenth glass winch they held full in their hands. "By taI, I~ beat 'em." Hans was heard to amatter, and with an effort he drained his glass Gottlieb tried to follow suit, but e ldn'tsget it do'irn, and had to set his half-emptied glass upon the table. iians 'eceved this movement, and grasped seventeen th glass. A short struggle anbe was outside his seventeenth. **Two to one on Hans," was the cry. alotieb had nearly finished his six teenth, but suddenly it dropped to the floor, and the feeble woirds, "I can drink nolaorp," issued from between his t,eth, asAlfwaank.in drunken oblivion.

Fon LrrrTL FoLK.-It must prove of inter est to the little ones to learn that the Mary who "had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow," is dead. Her name was Mary Scott, she lived in Cairo, Mass., and was 95 years of age. WHY ?-A Kentucky paper thinks that the word croquet is too Frenchy, and proposes that the game which it designates be hereafter called "Presbyterian Billiards." Why Presbyterian? THE WAY n. IowA.-A week or two ago, a young lady of Iowa, while on the way to her wedding, was offered five dollars by another young man if she would marry him, and she consented. The disappointed lover, having made up his mind to marry, proposed to the sister of the jilter on the same day. Accommodating.

We regret not beinig able to at tend owing to indisposition. An eloquent address was delivered by Mr. Thomas Moorman. The music on the occasion w-s charmingly rendered by a trio of accomplished young ladies, Miss Maggie Leavell, Miss Mary Boozer and Miss Mary Chalmers. THlE GE-LoRzot-s Fot-Rva was celebrated on Saturday the 3rd by the Eolored peo pe of this town and district by an im mense procession and pic nic at the old academy grove. We are bad at guessing and cannot say therefore how manny of the meni and brethren were out, but there might have been fifty-thousand more or less. It was an.immense gathering, and we are pleased to say that from begin ning to end there was no bad conduct or disturbance whatever. CoUR.-The Sessions Court, July Term, Judge Rutland presiding, comn. menced its sitting on Monday. Solicitor Talley of the 5th Circuit is in attendance. The business before the~ Court is most ly for petit larceny and burglary, and will probably occupy much valu able time. One case of importance will perhaps come up-that of the State vs. J. D.

SoIREE.-One of thoso pleasant little episodes, which so happily relieves the monotony and hum-drum realities of care and business, came off Monday night last at Helena, on which occasion the youth and beauty of the village had assembled in the spacious work-shops, which had been tastefully prepared for the event, and under the inspiration of music and pleasant convivialities, spent a few hours most delightfully, in* the merry mazes of the dance. Refreshments were abundant, and the young gentle men were devoted in their gallantry to the ladies:. - NEwBERRY.-What are the people there about ? Minding their own busi ness ? Doubt it, 'Tis not.in human na ture. But niever mind the good people in that village ; we will put the question in a different form. What are the Lu therans in Newberry doing ? The Lord not long ago sent his fiery messenger to arouse them out of their lethargy. Did he succeed ? What are the brethren there doing to obtain the services of a minister ? We think the church has been vacant long enough. We Bnd the above in the Lutheran & Visitor. Brother Rude is greatly in error when he doubts that the people of Newberry are minding their business. No people attend more strictly to busi ness, as a whole. As to the amended question however, referring to the fiery messenger which shattered the Lutheran Church steeple.

THE WEATHER.-This section of coun try as well as the weather will permit us to remember, has been without rain for three or four weeks and during the last 15 or 16 days a blazing, burning sun has parched and baked the earth and scorched and withered vegetation. The very grass ar.d weeds are wilted,yellow, dead. Our hopes for savory tomattoes and juicy melons are broken ; green corn, too, with all the little et ceteras, of the kitchen garden, we fear have gone by the board. Talk about brilliant guns and tropic heas-we have had them here, and winds too, that seemed to come from the breath of the sirocco. IIunanity here about has taken heat dreadfully-it has panted, sweltered, bccome sun-dried. The thermometer has been for days to gethcr as high as 95o in the shade, and even the devil has sighed for icebergs, snow-capped mountains, vales, cascades, cliffs and cool cellars deep down in the caverns of the earth, for fountains, and sylphs and.iced ambrosials. 0 what a devil.

Charles TYPE-SIZE .&D NAME.-The largest metal types now cast are ten line pica, which is the standard size type, and is ne-sixth of an inch long. Smaller than this comes small pica, long primer,-bour geois, brevier, minion, nonpareil, agate, pearl, diamond and brilliant. Pica is known by the French as Cicero, because his works were first set up in this type. The next largest, English, is for the same reason known as St. Augustine. Brevier was first known in printing bre viaries. Minion was so called because it was the hrmailest type then known ; nonpareil because the makei thought it could not be equalled. Pearl was the production of an ambitious die cutter. Diamond wvas cast in a Baltimore foun dry ; and lastly, brilliant, in which it takes 4,000 of the letter to make a pound, and which is but a twentieth of an inch long, is the production of a type cutter in Berlin. It is said, however, that ther-e ia Prussian microscope type, sma~ller than this, which has never been brought to this country. We hope it never may be.

He was discovered and lodged 'in the Guard House after being made to dis gorge. After its disgorgement, who claimed the meat, Mr. Gibbes, or the Chief of Police ? A hog owned by Mr- J. M. McElheny, New Hudson, Alleghany county, New York,fed exclusively upon whey,weighed 687 pounds dressed. Not surprising in the least as it was fed upon weigh (whey).

A young lady said to her beau, as she held a pot of hot water in her hand, "promise to marry mne, or I'll scald you." "Let it come," he replied, "I'd rather have a little poured on me now than to live in it all my life." Quite a sensible young man. When a young lady offers to hem a cambric handkerchief for a rich old bach elor, she means to sow in order that she may reap. Mrs. Muffles says it is "dre'ful" hard to lose a husband. She never got used to it till she lost her fourth. Mr. Boswell Baden, of Indiana, has had so many wives that he can't remem ber their names. THE CROPS. The report for the months of May and June, issued by the United States Ag ricultural Bureau, shows a high average condition of the wheat-and the pros pects of an abundant crop, it is asserted, are very favorable. Rye, barley and other grains are reported to be in fine condition. . Barley has been sown over a wider area, particularly in California and the States West of the Mississippi Riv er. Oats have been more extensively planted in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, but not to the usual extent in the Ohio Valley. Corn planting, it is stated, has everywhere been retarded by excessive rain and cold, and replanting has been required in many instances. The crop is, there fore, backward, but generally vigorous, with a prospect of a fair yield. Cotton planting has been stimulated by the high prices of 1868, and a wider area has been cultivated. In the Southern sttes,i11ow;-r~ the first report of the otton crop de unfavoid, on ac count of the cold and untor:d wedbecr of the Spring.

Very simple prezautions will save persons from being seized by the malady in question. One of the est preventives is a thin piece of sponge loosely sew ed into the top of the hat, and ccasionally moistened with water in the ourse of the dlay. We have heard of a ran who walked twenty miles under a hot sun with a-damp pocket handker hief in,ide the crown of his hat, and :id not suffer any inconvenience. The precautions are so obvious and simple that people do not regard them. Were they complicated and expensive, their use would be more general.

I From ear Fashion Correspondent 1 NEW YORK FASHIONS. NEW YORK, JCLY, 1869. Summer.has set in with its usual severity, and as usual, the butterflies of f tshion have betaken themselves t. the seaside and the mountain tops-and taken with them such quantities of clothing anid it all so new and beautiful and stylish. 0: a,idy muslin and Swiss embroidered mus!in - morning wear, and silk grenadine for -e'ning, and the most jaunty of white pique j ackets for cool daye, and muslin hats and hoods-think of hoods and hats of white muslin-and very charming fresh young faces look in these same hits and hoods when lined with rose colo:ed muslin, and tied with rose-colored strings, edged with button-hole stitch in white floss. The shape most approved for the hat in muslin is that known as the gar den shape, small crown, large brim. The muslin hood is Nubia shape ; a shapo as in definable because as indefinite as a shape can well be-the lining is generally turned over in front, thus forming a pretty revere, and if of a becoming color to the complex ion, brightens up a bright face admirably. In the same line but much prettier than muslin hat or hood, is the white Cashmere Summer Bonnet. This charming fancy is of English origin and deserves to be con sidered an indispensable appointment of the wardrobe of every lady who spends her summers, or any part of them in the coun try. It is as simple as it is elegant being first a round piece of cashmere large enough to cover the head well-that is to droop a little on the forehead and fall as low behind as the nape of the neck ; another piece somewhat smaller, cut butterfly-shaped, is laid over this, and from under the wings fall two bands of cashmere for strings. All the edges on every part of the hood are scolloped and worked in button-hole stitch with white needle-work silk. White is very much worn this summer. Morning, evening and visiting dresses are made iu the various white material suitable for each. We have seen at the Metropoli tan Furnishing Rooms, an elegant morning dress in wLite cashmere made en Watteau; that is with a pleat falling from the back of the neck to the train-it is delicately em broidered in fern leaves with gold colored silk ; the leares are in clusters on the cor ners of the front, but are continued singly, and sparingly up the points. This is em broidered on the Grover & Baker machine, and worn over a white silk petticoat. em broidered in the same partern, but in white silk, instead of gold colored silk thread. The petticoat may be of white muslin if very tine, and rendered sufficiently expen sive by excess of ruffling, tucking, puffing and enbroidering-I say excess, because so much ornateness is required, that it ap proximates very much nearer an excessthan te mere sufficiency. Since ladies have discovered~ the merits of this ma.chine in doing enbroidery, tucking, rufflings, and puffing, as well as all Isinds of bias and lain ewing, they have fairly revelled in dgoon, .mad 'n in the showiest man ier imaginab'e-a chiM .oow-a days goes with more stitches on its ind;e pinat'ore than its grandmother had in a whok suit of :lo hes,cud prettier stitches too than she pta on her ruffBed Sund.ay cap, evena though she a the neatest sewer of all the country round. Bet then there is no end to what people n ill- do for- their children. A isit to ans of the eityv Parks whaere children are ut with their nurses for an airing, will gaify anj one in quest of ideas.

MAISTER EDTwoR.-Alter me complimints to yees; permit me to say, that you pub lish a very good paper indade, tho' like all other Jouranists, you will let coraspon dance now and thin lie, wid their commu naications to the public, through the col umns of the Herald. For instance, now: Take the racent letter of Baron Von Schil-Schwil-Schwar-miay the divil take me if I can spake his name at all at all. Hoot man, where the divil did he get it any how ? Shurly it took a part of that of twinty fumilies to give it him, for 'tis as lorg as me arm and leg, both togiter. However, there's no doubt, he is as swate, an as big a liar under it, as any other ; and this remimberances me of the rason that makes me take me pin. in hand to address you. I bappened to be prisent in a nate little room in Frog Level, win his Honor, the Baron, called for a drop of the crater that wood warm his bowels, and like a Chris tian, axed meself, who was near, and other gintlemen, to join him. wid a glass. Now be me soul I niver could refuse to drink wid a reel gintleman win he'd ax me, and so of course, I joined him, and to return the complimint-told him in a minnet af ter, that I would take another ; and win that was in, we rapated the dose to keep the others down, and thin I began to feel as good as at a Wake. But divil a bit did the drink agree wid him at all, at all in any way. It wouldna'f stay in his bowels where te put it, but kept jumping up into his head, do you see, and thin his tongue got off its hinge at the root, an so he began to abuse the town on account of its name, and the people, and the whiskey, and the divil knows what all.. And now you see, I was quite cool indade, and wanted ~ to tap his head wid a small bit of a shil Ia lab, to make the whiskey go back to his belly, butL the divil take me, if he didn't want to maur der me for making such a proposition to relave him, the ungrateful dog. Well, now his belly was forenigst me, and I just thought to give it a-punch to bring him to his sinces, 'ouI just then, .the divil by St. Patrick, or some. other fairy hand, just touched , and be me soul I wentt to sleep immadiately, and knew no more itil I heard, Patrick, Patrick you bait, will you be lieing there all the year wid your boots on too ?" Win I inswered, Och me darl ing, kecp ascy now, shure an I'm keepen t eni on to cure the he adache-'tis as good as s warm water for the foot, and thin another f rason I have. I want to be ready to waik into the Baron-Sch-Schur-the divil take his name, but I'll give him a better one, that I can spake, and take the consate out of him for finden fault wid the name of our town, and lien about bein thrown into a wagon and findin himself asleep in the I streets of Newherry. And now, sir, will < you plaze tell him this for Your obediant servant, PATRICK O'FLAN AGAN. Fishing Entertainment and Bee Robbing. ME.

Early on Saturday morning, the 26th nlt, a nice little assemblage of people of both sexes, strictly whites-no colored ones pres- r ent-could have been seen grouped beneath I the shady boughs of a towering hickory on g the bank of Little River, engaged in the pre% b paration to begin the fish. Now whether the fish, if caught, were to be sold and the proceeds divided amongst each individual for his pecuniary benefit, or whether they were to be cured, dried and fried before din ner could be eaten, was a question which elicited sharp debate. The question was, however, postponed for further consideration, the result of which you shall shortly see. The arrangements now being complete, the party divided into squads, consisting of gen- - tleman and lady, and were soon strung along the river's edge and the fishing began; shouts from the various squads reverberated the forests indicating that terrible havoc was being made among the little fishes; the fish, 1 ing continued with unabated zeal until Old v Sol, not "old Sol of yore," in his meridian t splendor together with a little gastric vacuity warned as that the hour to dine had arrived: At this juncture, the party re-assembled to - the green sward, near the hickory, to ascer, tain and exhibit the results of the fish. Squad No. 1, Bluford and his mistress, counted out one cat fish and two tad-poles, Squad No. 2, Sammie and his mistress, a presented two cat-fish, one of them having a the appearance of the great plague of Asia, and the other one that he had. departed from the rules of hygienia; Squad No 3, White and his mistress, 2 little creek minnows, both in a state of putrifaction, had been caught a week previous by a couple of school f boys and forgotten ; Squad No. 4, Scott and h his mistress, four tad,poles when caught, t but on exhibition were found to bemetamor, pbosed into four green frogs, which, upon 0 discovering their freedom made off with a kind of half-hammonding bound, toward6 the river, and were soon lost to sight-but not to ear-for there they set up a most -leaf- e ening croaking that made the "welkin ring." Well, now, Mr. Editor, yon can readily im agine the conclusion arrived at-as to the disposition of the fish, under the circum stances you could hardly consider them mar~ ketable and to have prepared them for our dinner would have been an unpleasant task, i nor would the dish have been very savory. The party in a bad fix, without their dinner. jThe moderator, Mr. C. D. S. having pro. claimed that there was but one/healthy one, (I remaining ones being in an abnormal condition) ergred~ that this one be suspends ed high up in the bracches of the hickory, there to.un:lergo the proper pnode of drying and curing, for tLe benefit of the pcxt fish% J ing party. I rather guess you think tbu. we did without our dinner, don't you. Mr. Edi, tor? Not so. Thanks to som< of the wiser heads of the party, who, though they d id not pprticipate in the fish,. witnessed the ex% hibition and dispatched hasty messengers to ti Head Q'rs, and soon an elegant dinner was L sent us. After all had eaten, we were cordially in' t vited to a bee robbing at the Major's house, rr which unlike the fishing party, proved an entire success, music, steal partners, and a game or two of twistificatlon, ended the Fish- a ing entertainment and bee robbing of Sat, s urday the 26th ulmo.
