A MEMORY OF FOKTY N1XE. A Chaplain Who Made Money From Gorernment stores. Prom th New York Herald. At a reunion of California pioneers the other evening General Sherman related several interesting episodes apropos of bis rest dence as depart meut commander in Califor nia during the yearsintervenlng between the close of the Mexican war and tbe days of the gold fever in 1K49. Tbe first incident was tbe life and death of "Jim Crow Smith, a miner whose acquaintance be made at Putter's "Fort," and who subsequently took passage on the same vessei with him for home after makings fortune in the vicinity of "Ameri can" river.

Crow said he had 'struck It heavy and was on his way home when I saw him. One day on the vessel I inquired where he was going. goin' down to Poutb Carolina to hunt up my poor old said he. 'and fix her comfortable for the rest of her life. Then I'm goin' to JT York an' show them Easterners how to live.

"I left tbe vessel next day and saw no more of Jim for several months, and had almost forgotten him, when one day I saw a large crowd gathered around the entrance of the old Washington headquarters building, then at No. 1 Broadway. I elbowed my way through the crowd, and to my surprise saw an elegant coach, with four horses, coachman and footman in full livery, and leaning up against the doorsill was 'Jim Crow Smith. He was too intoxicated to walk and the coach man lifted him into the carriage and drove away. The red shirt, boots and sombrero had been replaced by expensive clothes and Jim' was showing 'them Easterners how to live.1 I saw him several times after that, alwavs drunk, and throwing money rlirht and left.

He soon went through his fortune and went back to California to make another, but this time he did not succeed. He struggled along for a year and then shot himself in a bar room in the village occupying the site where Sutter's Fort once stood, "When the gold fever broke out the United States army engae ed with Mexico was stationed in and around Monterey. Wnen the news of the gold bulng discovered first circulated among the troops they began to desert by whole companies, and In a few weeks the army was reauced to about half its original size. A large quantity of array stores had just been received, and there being uo one to use them, they soon began to spoil. It was finally decided to sell them by auction, and they were put up for nale.

The bidding was not very active and three men, among them an army chaplain, bought the whole lot for $2,000. They arranged to have the goods sent up to the mining camps by giving the man who took them up one third of the prolits. They were all sold to the miners, and when the accounts bad been settled it was found that each man bad made $30,000 clear of expenses." PREACHER AND PUGILIST. Tho Mistake Made by a Visiting School Marm. From the New York Sun.

Billy Edwards, the ex llght welght champion, whose supervision of the Hoffman House cafe has mado him as famous as his scores of victories, is of medium height, slender, and In bis general attire leans toward tbe elegant, while his sharp, pale features suggest the theologian rather than famous professor of the art of self defense, which is heightened by the fact that he rarely drinks or smokes and devotes all his leisure time to conversation and literary efforts. The Hoffman House art room is open to lady visitors every morning at certain hours, and not long ago a party of college girls under the chaperon ago of a young married matron, well known In New York society circles, visited the cafe to seethe famous statuary, bronzes and paintings. Just previous to tho entrance of the ladies Billy Edwards, who had just arrived, was spoken to by a prominent minister, who was paying his first visit to the metropolis, and was a guest at the Hoffman House. As the ladles approached the two men, the society chaperone said: Look over there; that is one of the greatest prize fighters in the world. That is Billy Edwards." William Is so used to these remarks that he paid no attention to them, but his feeling changed, however, when one of the pretty girls of the party said "What a big, nasty, bloated, red faced brute be is.

He looks bis trade in every lineament, and it is a disgrace for any decent hotel to employ such a beast. Just look at him; he is trying to get that handsome young man in a quarrel, and to beat him." The clergyman heard the remark and displayed the nervousness that a man only does when he is beset by a party of women, Hilly said I beg your pardon, ladies; I am wr. tMiwaras, anu cms istne ttov. nr. an Episcopal clergyman from the West.

There was a painful silence, a suppressed giggle, and the ladies went out in a hurry. The clergyman went out the othr way Boon afterward, it is needless to add that the girls were sizing up tho minister instead of Edwards when the remarks wore made. BOARD OF HEALTH.

of Troop Third Cavalry, tells the following story: During the Mormon troubles in Utah, some time In tbe year 1857, the First Mounted Rifles, now the Third Cavalry, was. along with several companies of the Tenth Infantry, stationed at Camp Floyd, near Salt Lake. The Rifles at that time was under command of Colonel Ruff, astern, eccentric character who, among other idiosyucracies, had a morbid hatred for an Infantryman. Ia tbe uniform prescribed for the cavalryman at that time gray, Btiff bat, with two yellow cords about the band, distinguished tbe mounted soldier from the infantryman, there being no other marked difference in tbe dress. One afternoon tbe colonel was sitting In his tent, and happening, at an opportune moment, to look out, espied a soldier wearing a cavalryman's hat scurrying past with something concealed in bis blouse.

Stepping to tbe door the colonel called to him. and the soldier, baiting, came up and saluted. "Come, speak up," demanded the officer "what hare you got there?" The soldier pulled aside bis jacket and disclosed a half pint flask of whisky, at the same time murmuring an apology. Ah," and the colonel's voice fell to a more relenting Ditch, "did you buy that whisky?" "Yes, sir," replied the soldier. "Well, sir.

If that's the case, there's no earthly useof your snaking about with tbe bottle in yoursbirt. There's no law against a soldier drinking whiskyin this camp if be hss paid for it. You can go but stay as the soldier moved off, "what troop do you belong to I I belong to Co. Tenth Infantry," replied the soldier, faltering. "Company screamed the colonel.

"A Infantryman and with a cavalryman's bat on. too. Where did you get that bat The poor soldier replied that on the previous night there had been a general row at a dance and after the melee his own hat was missing and be bad taken a cavalryman's. The excuse was lost upon the colonel, who after takingnn angry, apoplectic turn ortwo back and forth in front ot the tent, called to bis orderly: "Orderly!" he shouted, "do you have on your spurs?" No, sir," was the reply, "Then get mine, put 'em on and ride this impostor into camp!" and in obedience totheorder the unlucky soldier was ridden, under spur, every step of the way Into camp, a quarter of a mile away. HILARIOUS STUDENT ABASIIED Completely Repulsed by the Acred College Librarian.

From the Toledo Blade. A party of students in the big university down at Delaware, the Ohio Wesleyan, were out enthusiastically serenading various members of the faculty and other functionaries of the college the other evening, and lu their triumphant course, for their music swept everything before it, they stopped in front of the residence of tbo college librarian, Mr. Joseph Dickinson. Festooning themselves along the high board fence which encloses tbe librarian's estate, tbe dulcet strains of the tin can and the long, tremulous notes of the flsb horn floated out upon the ambient atmosphere. Tbe sweet tones of the bass drum, the ravishing music of those all night voices and tbe grand ensemble of tbe whole choir were not long in bringing the old librarian to his front porch.

His eves swept in at a glance the row of students draped over his front fnnce and then rolled slowly and sentimentally up to the deep any, nespaugled with its stars, sparkling in January's frost. The old moon, tossing on its cloud fleece beds, shed a soft, nophoinoric glamour over all the scene. The soft sentiment of the hour stole into the old librarian's soul and he stood in silent rapture as one transfixed by a pivan of the ancelic hosts. And the rattle of the tin pan and the hoarse notes of the fish horn, the wallsof the score of sentimental youths still beat upon the soft air and shattered it into atmospneric atoms, nut mere came a iuii, The music died awav In a low, lingering wall. The air held again the solemn stillness.

Then the trembling voice of the deenlv affected librarian arose in the stilly night air and said siowiy "Gentlemen. I dislike to disturb you and Interrupt that classic concert, but I just had that rence painted to day." THREW VITROL IN IIER FACE. Purs nod by ITer Lover, the Miscreant Shoots Him Fatally.

CARE OF THE SKIN AND HAIR Valuable Recipes for Removing Freckles and Wrinkles and Curing Chapped Hands and Ldpa. All women are desirous of being beautiful. Who can blame them? A handsome woman is admired by her less fortunate sisters and adored by men. Lord Chesterfield says Women have in general but one object, which is their beauty upon which scarce any flattery is too gross for them. Nature has hardly formed a woman ugly enough to be insensible to flat tery upon ber person.

If her face is so shocking that she must in some degree be conscious of it her figure and her air, she trusts, make ample amends for it If her figure is deformed her face, she thinks, counterbalances it. If they are both had she comforts herself that she has graces still more engaging than beauty." Admitting all that Lord Chesterfield says to be true, who is to blame for the ear that women lend to the flattering speeches as re gards her beauty and form? Men. It is they who impart them to her. It is for them that women strive to be lovely. Where is the hnshand who is not proud of his pretty wife Where the mother who does not love her beautiful danghter, and where the children who are not happy when their mother is spoken of as a handsome woman BEAUTY MUST BE FOSTERED.

It is one thing to be beautiful and another to know how to keep it A green and beautiful plant loaded with fragrant blossoms if neglected will soon fade away and die. So with out beauty. As the flower needs water and care so do our systems require nourishment. Onr blood should he kept in circulation and we should have plenty of exercise. Why women will spend hundreds of dol lars year after year for cosmetics is more than can be explained.

Of course It arises from the desire to be beautiful, but cannot they see that these preparations instead of adding to their beauty decrease it? With every day of the year comes some new discovery called "The Complexion To those who are old it gives youth it destroys wrinkles, whitens the ekiu, removes pimples; in short, it makes tbe ugly beautiful. So reads the advertisement. If we wish to beantify our complexion and to hide as best we can onr age, why not resort to that which will aid us and not use compounds which only add to our defects? Here are some recipes of many harmless preparations which will improve the skin. TO REMOVE FRECKLES. Have yon freckles, those horrid little brown spots which mar the prettiest face? If so, scrape horseradish into a cup of cold sour mi lk; let it stand twelve hours, strain and apply two or three times a day.

Some prefer to wash the skin at night with elder flower and apply an ointment made by sim mering gently one ounce of Venice soap, quarter of au ounce of dellquated oil of tartar, and an ounce of oil of bitter almonds, When it requires consistanry, three drops of oil of rhodium may be added. Wash the ointment otf in the morning with rose water. To remove wrinkles One ounce white wax melt to gentle heat, add two ounces of the lmce of lily bulbs, two ounces of honey, wo drachms of rose water and a drop or two of attar of roses. Tepid watershould be used instead of cold ablutions. Cold cream is a necessary toilet article and can be made in the following manner: Melt together a pint of oil of sweet almonds, half an ounce of spermaceti anu half a pint of rose water.

Iteat to a paste. Rose water is also another essential and is made by taking half an ounce of powdered white sugar and two drachms of magnesia. With these mix twelve drops of attar of roses. Add a quart of water, two ounces of alcohol and mix in a gradual manner. Filter through blotting paper.

CURE FOR CHAPPED HANDS. Chapped hands aDd Hps are a common complaint. The best preparation for the hands is: Three ounces of lemon juice, three ounces of white wine vinegar and ono half pint of white wine brandy. For the lips Oil of roses, four ounces one ounce white wax and of spermaceti one half an ounce. Melt in a glass vessel and stir with a wooden spoon.

Tour into a china cup or glass. There is nothing which a pretty woman so abhors as pimples upon her face. They may often he removed by frequent washings in warm water and prolonged friction with a coarse towel. A good lotion is Acetated liquor of ammonia one quarter of an ounce, liquor of potassa one grain, sulphur water one ounce, two ounces of white wine vinegar add two ounces of distilled water. Bathe the face night and morning.

Bathing the face in hot water, using no soap, will also do wonders for the skin. A good application can be made of two hands full of jessamine flowers distilled in a quart of rose water and a quart of orange water. Strain through porous paper and add a scruple of ambergris and musk. If you use powder use it sparingly. CARE OF TFIE TEETH AND HAIR.

As the teeth, eyes and hair have much to do with the face a word in reference to them will not be out of place. fine tooth powder can be made of six ounces of prepared chalk, cassia powder, half an ounce, and an ounce of orris root. These are to be well mixed and may be colored with red lake or any other innocent substance, according to the fancy of the user. Use the powder in the morning with a stiff tooth brush. Of nothing is a woman prouder than of her fine growth of luxuriant hair.

It may be the silken chestnut brown or tbe bright golden strands or the shining black tresses it matters not Some tell us not to wash the hair, as it makes it dry and harsh. But by all means cleanse the scalp. Give it a good shampoo not every day, but about once a week. Every night before retiring the hair should be taken down and carefully brushed from ten to fifteen minutes with a stiff brush and should then be braided. To soften and beantify the hair beat up the whites of four eggs into a froth and rub thoroughly in close to the roots of the hair leave it dry on then wash the head and hair clean with a mixture of equal parts of rum and water.

A large black rubber comb should he used in preference to all others. As God made us fair and comely in person so we should seek to preserve our charms as long as possible and merit the greeting of woman, woman, beautiful woman. A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.
