^ntara Intelligenter. An Amsidcaa Woman's Experience of the Turkish Bath. Olive Harper, writing from Constantinople, thus lays bare the mysteries of the bath in the far east:. I have read,, certainly not less than fifty times, elaborate descriptions of genuine Turk? ish baths, by Bayard Taylor, Ross Broune and others, and I have always had my imagination filled with the combined ecstacies of being I scrubbed with hot water and perfumed soap and iced sherbet, and I made up my mind not to leave Turkey without having that delightful experience. You know that I belong to the softer sex, and that they do not bathe promis? cuously here as iu Baden, Long Branch and many other fashionable places. This bath where I went is for ladies alone, not even the "common herd" being admitted, for the charge is very high. Four of us went, together with two women servants, who carried our towels, bathing dress? es and lunch. It is an all-day's job, and the ladies all take lunch with them. On entering we were conducted to a large room, where we must undress and leave our things. I think there were nearly fifty women there in all stages of undress, who all paused to regard us with curiosity while we disrobed. Men can pull off their most sacred garments, toss them in a heap, and run about as if noth? ing were amiss, but somehow I felt as Eve did when she had made the discovery that she was a little too thinly clad for the time of the year. A servant caught up our bathing dresses and left the room, beckoning us to follow. We ran the gauntlet of a hundred pair of eyes be? fore we reached the divan where I was laid, like a defunct. The room wa3 very warm and frew warmer perceptibly, though how, I don't now, until I began to feel as if I should suffo? cate, my heart beat painfully hard and I grew very faint, when one of the women gave me some lemonade, of which I drank two glasses. Then all of a sudden, I began to perspire, and I looked like a pumpkin that had laid out all night in a heavy dew. I felt as if I was dis? solving, and waited patiently till the end should come, and I should be but the transparent es? sence of what was once a very substantial j body; but that time had not come. I was so sleepy that I felt like calling very hard names, when the woman came and made me get up, after she had rubbed me down like a race horse with a pair of very scratchy gloves, which left my skin as red as a lobster. Then, we all being in the same state, were led into another great vaulted marble floored room, where the divans are made of marble, which is not at all soft to lie on. This room was warmer than the last, and more vapory, | and the vapor was more strongly perfumed with sandal-wood. After lying a few moments, the marble grows soft, and a sense of most | delicious repose comes over you. You feel a | soft languor and a dreamy content, and your eyes close and you lay with a smile of exquisite laziness on your lips, and imagination flies off in every possible direction, when the sweet repose is again rudely broken and you have again to "move on." Now, indeed, opens the door of paradise. You are led, sSill without other covering than, nature gives you, into a large circular room, with marble pillar, supporting the blue dome that is spangled with stars. All round the room are marble divans, and in the center is an immense fountain, in the basin of which are sixty or seventy girls and women playing in the warm, perfumed water, or lying in all attitudes on the marble edges of the basin. The water rises iu one grand column fifty feet, and falls back into an upper basin, while the lower one is undisturbed except by the beau? tiful white forms that it most delights to receive. On all the divans lay women of all ages and complexions, even to some negresses, who only served to make the white bodies and polished limbs appear more lovelier than ever. Smal? ler fountains were placed at regular intervals around the large room, and from these the attendants poured continuously over the bodies of those who lay on the divans, warm water which was carried off by the pipes. One at? tendant stood at the head, holding my gold embroidered bathing apparatus, one lathered me with perfumed soap till I began to imagine myself a gigantic rose, and all these beautiful beings laughing and singing and gliding around me but other specimens of flowers. Another attendant rubbed me with gloves made of sponge, and another poured warm water over me incessantly, not dashed it, not let it trickle, but just emptied the beautifully chased silver ewer over me with the gentlest of motions, till it seemed like a caress. Then soap of bitter almonds was rubbed on my face, ana other of another kind was rubbed in my hair, all done in that tender, caressing way that made it a positive ecstacy; then more I perfumed water till I felt drowning in a sea of all delights, in which I could distinguish per- j fnmes, flowers, sweet singing voices, and forms i tf heavenly beauty. Time ana the outer world were lost in the delightful trance, and I desired nothing else in the world to make my life content forever. To lie there on the marble and dreamily watch the glorious white of the living statues, with the long black hair, and the rich dark eyes; to see the soft, undulating motions of them swim? ming in the warm, delicious water; to look at the lovely forms stretched at full length on the divans and on the edges of the fountain, and others laughing, sporting, singing, mingling with affectionate glances, and wrestling in the water, or on the marble floor, dripping from every limb the perfumed water that glistened on their bodies, and the trickling of the foun ' tain, and the rosy, subdued light that stole in through the jealously-guarded windows, were enough to send one of an imagination like mine off into the realms of fancy, and make one believe it the promised land, and cause the whole soul to be satisfied with the picture, which needed no imagination to embellish. My attendant roused me from my dreams of perfect peace by pointing to the fountain and signifying that I was also to get in. My four friends then made their appearance with the servants and our luncheon, and nobody can tell of the comical look of us five sitting round the basket eating, and without any clothes on. I have seen many sights in my life, but we wo? men around those baskets, with chicken legs in our hands and glasses of wine, and other things, were too perfectly ludicrous for anything, and I laughed till I couldn't eat. And my dreams of a luxurious, sleepy, sensuous para? dise, filled withfindulating figures of transcen? dent beauty, were gone, and I was fully pos? sessed of the demon of mirth, and I provoked the others into my own state of mind, and we were soon the maddest of the crowd in the perfumed watera. It was two full hours before our wild sport ended, and we slid out of the water and sat talking in little knots of four or five, while the attendants were drying our hair, and separa? ting it till it stood out in a light puff all around our heads. Not a tangle was left in it, and no eomb or brush was used. Then we were laid on the same marble divans, though with a thick bathing towel this time under U9, while the attendants punched and pulled and rubbed all our joints, and cracked all our knuckles, and elbows and shoulders, till I thought I should be always even more unsteady than ever. They don't give you the least chance to make a protest to this sort of thing. They roll you and rub you, up and down and round and round, till you only want a chance to get your hands free to "punch their heads," when all at once, panting and perspiring, they grin at you and &&y pekkey, which means "all right," and then you can put on your handsome bathing dress, i>r.d have your towels spread out on the divan about you. Then the other ladies came about me like bees around a holly-hock, and proceeded to admire me from head to foot. Then the attendants came in and we all fol? lowed them through a succession of rooms, resting a short time in each, and drinking lemonade and sherbet, and eating conserves made of roses and violets?or, at least, flavored with the perfume of those flowers. Then we went into another room cooler still, where most of the ladies smoked while they chatted of their dresses, husbands, flirtations, etc. One thing surprises me: the perfect freedom with which they tell each other of their flir? tations, some of which go somewhat beyond the decorum of our American flirtations even. After the ladies had all finished smoking their marghilas and little histories of how they had managed to throw dust into the eunuch's eyes, etc., they proceeded to perform their toilets, something wonderful to see. I am a woman, and I thought I knew all their little faults and something of the intricacies of the toilet; but I learned more that day than I ever thought any one knew. First, an old woman came to each woman or girl, bearing a dressing case filled with the most marvelous of com? pounds for the improvement of the beauty under their care. Little looking-glasses were given to each woman, and then commences the operation. All the superfluous hairs on the face were removed by little pincers; then the women brought out stiff little brushes made of tion of arsenic, procedeed to, by means of pull? ing the skin of the face tightly, puncture it with the sharp bristles, which thus leaves an indelible white beneath the surface, which is perfectly dazzling in its transparence and bril? liancy. Next, the eyebrows are carefully brushed with a soft brush, and then the smoke of frank? incense, mixed with the oil of rose, is laid on, while the eye-lashes are dyed with somo vege? table dye, which leaves them a brilliant black, and under the eyelids and on the upper lid is laid a sort of pale brown, which gives the whole eye a beauty and languor most bewitch? ing. Then, wheu a rich carmine, or rather rose-leaf pink, is artistically spread on the cheeks, and the full lips of a deep cherry color, the faces in their coloring are most lovely. These colors do not fade or rub off, but stay until another long-protracted bath of vapor and tepid water opens the pores for another application. The toilet finished, the beauties, natural and manufactured, regarded themselves in their hand-glasses with evident satisfaction, and each other with contempt. Some of them, who were quite plain in the water, became beautiful after the operation was complete. Their luxuriant hair was in general braided and loaded with a profusion of ornaments, not excepting diamond stars and other jewels, and sometimes with long strings of gold coin, plaited in, which jingled with every motion. It was a novel sight to see these women all sitting about on little stools with their ancient hand-maidens, all submitting to these intrica? cies of toilet that are kept so secret by more civilized women, all seeming here to be a mat? ter of course. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? The smallest women look hopefully to hymen. ? A tea made of chestnut leaves, and drank in the place of water, will cure the most obsti? nate cases of dropsy in a few days. ? The season of the year has arrived when if you swear you won't catch any fish, but you can buy a big string for fifteen cents. ? "Alas! " said the nurse who attended the witty divine Sidney Smith, in his last illness, "I have made a mistake and given you a bot? tle of ink." "Then," said the dying wit, "fetch me all the blotting paper there is in the house." ? It is by no means necessary that a woman shall be beautiful to attract gentlemen. There are women whoes faces are almost plain enough to ache, who have such agreeable manners, sparkling wit and lovable dispositions, that they are general favorites and belles wherever they are. ? It is proposed by the Lancaster (Pa.) Morn ning Review to get up an editorial excusion to Europe, the party to sail from Philadelphia on June 12th. The time expended in this tour will be about four months, and nearly every notable place will be visited. The cost to each individual will be about ?700. ? A small boy got another boy, somewhat smaller than himself, down on the ground, and got hold of both his ears, placing his knee in the small of the boy's back, and asked him, in a very persuasive manner, if he would give him that big white marble of his'n. The boy replied in the affirmative. How easy it is to settle things when one goes about it "the right way. ? The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. From the time that the mother binds the child's head till the moment that some kind assistant wipes the death-damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All, there? fore, that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-mortals; no one who holds the power of granting can refuse without guilt. ? A Washington letter says: "It seems now to be understood that at the decoration cere? monies at Arlington this year, a more tolerant policy will be adopted than upon former occa? sion, and that the graves of the Confederate soldiers will be decorated. It is understood, too, that the tone of all the exercises on the occasion will be broad and liberal toward the opinions and motives of the soldiers of the lost cause." ? The inflation party is forming. The Evansville (Ind.) Covurier thus furnishes the head of the ticket: "The Hon. George H.Pen dleton, of Ohio, would be a formidable can? didate for President on the ticket to be placed in the field by the new movement. His personal integrity, great abilities and the fact that he was t.ie author of the greenback policy, would give him a prestige that few other men have earned." ? A distinguished Judge in Georgia, as much noted for his sharp sense as his keen humor, says that the early entrance and active campaigning of certain candidates into the race for Governor, reminded him of a certain story that Judge Cowart used to tell of a fellow who made a bet about jumping the creek. He went back a quarter of a mile to take a start. By the time he reached the creek he was too tired to even wade through. ? The girls of a California seminary lately developed a singular tendency for usiug three one-cent stamps, instead of the regular kind, upon their envelopes. The letters were so very plain and matter-of-fact, and the attempts at evading surveilance in the old-fashioned way grew so scarce, that one inspecting tt .eher investigated this whim. And lo ! the cunning creatures had taken to writing tender epistles to their lovers under the stamps. ? North Adams, Mass., has a tailor known for his keen, pungent wit. Not long since a well-known clergyman called at his shop with I a pair of pantaloons, and asked him if they could be repaired. The knight of the shears unrolled them, held them up in a most artistic manner, carefully examined them and replied : "Yes, yes; the knees are the best part of them." The reverend gentleman saw the joke, smiled blandly and gracefully bowed himself out. ? Dr. Brown-Sequard lately delivered a lec? ture in Washington in which he enunciated the theory that man has two brains perfectly distinct from each other. The left brain he holds is principally the organ of intelligence and exterior relation, and the right of organic functions and nutrition. He also maintains that if we develope the movements of the two side3 of the body, the two arms and the two legs, one just as much as the other, there is a chance that the two sides of the brain then will be developed, as regards the mental facul? ties, one as muck as the other. bristles, and after di them into a prepara REGULATOR -?s5" THE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY This unrivalled Medicine is warranted not to contain a single particle of mercury, or any injurious mineral substance, but is PURELY VEGETABLE, Containing those Southern Roots and Herbs, which an' all-wiso Providence has placed in countrios whore Liver Diseases most prevail.

As to his success in the treatment of Eye diseases, he invites attention to the following certifi? cates : ANDERSON, S. C, August 1st, 1873. This is to certify that I have been blind for the last three years, during which time I have spent sevoral hundred dollars in trying to obtain relief, the greater part of which I spent in Atlanta, Ga., under treatment of Dr. Hooton, without obtaining any relief whatever. I had almost despaired of ever being ablo to see, when Dr. J. W. Gurley informedmethatmyca.se was Cataract, and, by an operation, he believed that he could restore my sight. I consented, and on the 17th of February last, he operated upon my eyes. On the seventh day after, I was able to distinguish objects at a distance. My sight has improved ever since, and now (Aug. 1st) feel that, with the aid of my glasses, I can see as well as any person of my ago (07), and am able to attend to all my business?which renders me a happy man, being brought from Darkness to Light. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Gurley to persons suffering with any disease of the Eye. MATTHEW SNIPES. ABBEVILLE C. IL, S. C, May 13th 1873. Dr. J. W. Gubley?Dear Sir : I have been almost blind for quite three years, caused by Granular Ophtalmia, and general inflammation of the Eyes. I was under treatment of Dr. Voorhees, (Ophthalmic Surgeon,) of Memphis, Tennessee, one year; and at the expiration of that time, found myself very little improved. I had about despaired of ever being able to en? joy perfect vision again, when my attention was called to your advertisement. I-made up my mind to try your skill, hoping at least to get rid of the terrible inflammation, which rendered me almost crazy at times. My hopes have been more than realized within the remarkably short time of eight weeks. The inflammation is all gone?granulations vejy nearly so. The lids have resumed their normal appearance, and my sight is perfectly restored. 'I can read the smallest print with ease, without the aid of spectacles." I can recommend those suffering with any disease of the Eye to call on you at once. BEN J. E. BARKSDALE.
