Of all the points that go to make up femaie loveliness, a beautifal complexion is the most important. To obtain this many so-called beautifiers have been pluced before the gmbllc. But 411 have failed, principally because they have been composed of liquid paste, filling up and choking the pores of theskin, thro’ which the body naturally seeks its health, and making the complexion of every one using them sallow,m;msty-looking and unhealthy.

) Still Roping Them In. - (Lagrange Standard.) - Down in Allen county they have horse hobble swindlers. They go around, sell agencies, get farmers to sign notes purporting to be $5.00 which afterward turn up $5OO, and in the hands, of course, of innocent purchasers. But the sharpest game, and one that excites the least sympathy has been played 1n Wells county. There lightning rod sharpers induced a number of township trustees to rod their school houses, rodding the trustees’ residences at the same time at a‘reduction. After the work was completed another chap pretending to be authorized by the Attorney Geueral, calls and informs the trustees that they have violated the law, in using the public money for their own personal benefit, and insists that the matter must be at once fixed up or there will be an exposure and prosecution. The matter is fixed, and the second rogue goes away happy. i ‘

- DELIGHTFUL SEPTEMBER WEATHER.—SeIdom, for many years past, has the country presented so fresh an appearance as at the present time. Only a few isolated patches of forest and upland begin to exhibit the mellow tints of early autumn, while the bright green foliage and herbage is still fresh and beautiful in the meadows, - forests and hillsides. On the broad cultivated acres of the farm lands throughout the country the golden hues of mid summer grain crops are extended to the broad acres of Indian corn, waving Its tassels in the morning breeze, while the snowy-blossoms of the buckwheat fields add‘'a pleasing contrast to the picture. In'ahundred other localities, the rank herbage and bright green foliage is as fresh and strong as in the month of roses—d June, .., " Beautifiers.

The Temperance War at Monroeville. - Jonathan Haskell is a retired showman who for several years past has devoted his time to the advocacy of what is now-a-days called “gospel temperance.” About six weeks ago he helda 'series of meetings at Warsaw where he created a good deal of ill-feeling by his inteniperate abuse and denunciation of people who did not take kindly to his mode of operation. From Warsaw he proceeded to F't. Wayne, where he met with indifferent success.: He then “took in” the little town of Monroeville, in Allen couuty, at which place he appears to have had a stirring time. F¥riday a week ago he made some reference to a low dive in that place, kept by a young woman named Lizzie Miller. To this she took objections, and commenced a bitter tirade against “Bro. Jonathan.” He request‘ed all who desired to hear the lady talk ito rise. Not one arose. He then asked ‘all who ‘desired to have the meeting proceed to rise. The entire congrega- ‘ tion arose. The young woman still continued her harangue, and finding she would not stop, “Bro.” Haskell quietly took ther up in his arms and carried her to thé door, where an oflicer took charge of her. She then had him arrested for assault, and he was placed under $lOO bonds, which was promptly given, and the meetings continued. The following from a correspondent of the Fort Wayne News of Sept. 10th, shows about what class of people he has run foul of in Monroeyille: S ' :

“The meetings here in progress attracted another crowded audience last night to hear the earnest, eloquent evangelist, Jonathan Haskell, who stays another week by the unanimous vote of an immense congregation. On Sabbath night, at the close of the meeting, while the ladies and families were returning home, they were assailed and besmeared with rotten eggs and missiles by a drunken ecrowd of roughs. As Haskell and his wife and some other ladies were passing into the. Indiana hotel, a shower of boulders, stinking eggs and dirty garbage was hurled at them, completely covering the hotel front. Dead chicks covering the stoop, with rocks enough to pave the yard. Mrs. Haskell, an earnest, faithful quiet christian-lady, had just laid upon her bed, when crash went a.huge boulder through the window, demolishing the frame and shivering the glass into a thousand atoms. In a few. moments, crash, and anotber boulder goes tearing through the upper windew of the hotel. The mob returned to ILizzie Miller’s saloon after they had done their work, and had a jollification at her expense. An indignation meeting is in session of the entire le3ipectable part of town, and steps are peing taken to arrest thefemale and all abetto_ 3. The evangelist, Haskell, is “grit” and full of sand and says, he will fight it out, on this line if it takes all summer.” - |

Experiments of Wheat Sowing. : Mr. John W. Snoke, of Warren twp, experimented in sowing wheat last - fall, under the belief that too muech - wheat was used for seed, when a bushel and a half was sowed or drilled cn an acre. The results of the experiment are as follows: s o On ore acre of ground he used half a bushel and the yield was thirty-four, boshels; '~ o 7 8 g . ‘ On one acre he used three quarters of'abushel and the yield was thirty-five and one-nalf bushel. -~ : - On one acre he used one bushel and the yield was thirty-one ard two-thirds bushels.. - : ‘ The wheat was of the Fultz variety. and the land all of the same quality and prepared in the same way tor the seed. His experiments showed that where half the usual quantity of seed was used to the acre more favorable results were obtained than where a less or greater quantity was'used; that is; he got more wheat from the acre where he used three pecks of seed than where he used two, four: or six pecks. Mr. Snoke’s experiments prove that - 75 bushels of wheat might be saved from every 100 acres sown as it usually is. The saving in this county alone would be immense. We i‘émmend Mr. Snoke’s experiments to the serious attention of our farmers.—=B, B. T'ribune.

) Vanderbilt’s Ambition. W. H. Vanderbilt has had plans made for a dwelling in New York City, on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fiftyfirst streét. The mansion will not be excelled by any in the United States. It will consist of two dwellings, one single and two.double, and will occupy, the entire space between Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets, fronting the fashionable avenues. Exclusive of the cost of the-land, the dwelling is to involve an expenditure of $700,000. The fronts’ will be of brown stone, in the French Renaissance style, three stories and a half high:® Vanderbilt intends to spread himself on this mansion. He is ambitious to own the finest dwelling on the continent, and it is more than' likely that he will expend $1,000,000 on it. He' is reported to be looking over Coneéy Island with the'intention of speriding $2,000,000 or $3,000,600 in hotel property and running a railroad’ todb o il Nt fare SRieg i The best mixed paints in the mar . ktet are to be found at Eldred’s drug store. o N
