This secret of beautifying the skin being known only to Messrs. Jared A Rene, they bonoraly state that it differs from all other preparations. It gives to tbe most harsh and freckled skin both tbe texture and color of whether appearing as freckles, tan morpbew moth, or black-worm specks, and it especial ly successful in smoothing out the marks left bv small pox. Tbe aients of M L'Email do Paris" most confidently submit to the publio the earnest endorsements of .deb distinguished ladies as 3ION01U RISTOHA, M'le FELICITA VEST VALI, Hiss MAGGIE MITCHELL. Mrs. D. P. BOWERS, LUCILEE WES TERN, Mdm'e PONISI, Mrs. EM ' MA WALLER, LUCY RUSH TON NOEMIB DE MAR GUERITTES, Miss AGNES PERRY, and many others, whose high standing in tbe profession gives the stamp of truthful ness to their intelligent acd genuine appro' val. The Beautiful Lucille Western says : I find that tbe Email" produces all the brilliancy roage and lily-wbite, with the great and peculiar advantage of total harm leisness. It really adds to the softness and beauty of the skin. The Magnificent Vestvall says I have suffered so much from the various white lotions, Ac, whi-h my theatrical pro fession obliges me to nse, that I consider it a perfect benefaction to find a preparation which gives tbe necessary .whiteness to the skio, and leaves tbe skin cool and smooth. Mist Maggie Mitchell says : I have tried the skin beautlfier, "LFmail de Paris," and found that It Instantly imparts a natural bloom and freshnesst to the com plexion. "Jared's Email de Paris" Is used at a deli cate beautifier of tbe akin for Theatre, Sa loon or Ball Room, by tbe most refined and scrupulous ladies ; pioducing all tbe beau tifying effects of rouge and lily-white, with out their vulgar glare or injury to tbe skin.

Six miles back aro other trains of like character. These are tho second lines. Next, near the terminus, und following it hour by hour are tho boarding cars and a construction train, which answor to the actual battle line. ' Ibe one is tho cump; the other is tbe ammunition used in the light. .The boarding cars are each eighty feet long. Some are fitted with berths two are dining hulls one is a kitchen, storeroom, and office. Under the whole thoso men who prefer fresh air have swung hammocks. ItifJes are hung over head, plentiful in num ber, loadod, and convenient. The party protects itself, without atten tion from the Govurnmvn, The track laying gang numbers 4U0. On the ai0 miles ull ready built there are 1,000 track repairers constantly im proving the road bed. The oouruinu cars go in advance. They aro pushed to the extremity of tho trick; a construction train men runs up, Unloads its material and starts buck to bring another from the socond lino. Tho boarding train is then run back till it bus cleured the unloaded material. Threo trucks, cuch drawn by two horses, ply between the track-layers and their supplies. The horses run outsido tho truck pulling with a tow i ne. as boats are moved on canals. They must be out of tho way of the workmen. Uno oi mean iruciss tases on a loud of rails, about forty, witb the Drouer proportion of spikes and chairs, making a loud, when the hors es are started oft on lull gnnop lor tne track-layers. .On each side of these trucks are rollers to facilitate funning off the iron . On reaching ihe end of the lust rail the truck Is biuiiijeo. A singlo horse is attached to move it over each successive rail. Mcantimo the truck last emptied has been turn ed on its side to allow the loaded ono to go to the front. Tho two horses reluiiHcd'are started up on a keen gallop for unother supply. The third one moves utt in like manner, and thus through ull the duy they aro rushinir forward with their iron load. Tosoe them, and reflect what rush and roui iitg means, is as exciting as it ever was to wutch a battery thunder nto position, uta needed moment, at tho vitul point in its line. The rails within reucn, pariios oi fivo men stand on either side. One in the reur throw u rail upon the rollers, three in udvunce seize it, and run out with it to the proper distui.ee. The chairs have meantime, Doen set under the lam mils placed, luo two men in the rear, with a eingle swing, 'oice the end of tho rail into the hair, and the chief of the eiinad calls out " down," in a tone that equals the forward ' t an army. JOvery thir ty seconds there came that brave down, "down, on euner eiuo ine truck. They were the pendulum bents of a mighty crn ) Ihey marked tho time cf the muiclr und its regula tion step. One or the rear men arove mo an-, in addition to handling the rail. , J ne horses stin ted hs each rail lell into its place, tho truck rolled on to tho end of it, a second rail was projected Into tho wilderness, witb lho sume precis ion and hutto j then came tho mtigio ' down." the cur moved on again, ana another length was accomplished. Two spikers followed each rail, one party a little in advance of the other. Ono rail wits fastened at the end and at tho middle. The second party then drew the opposite rail to the exact "uage, nml laMtenea it, n mo miuuio and the end. Then came other squads of spikers, moving along with the precision of militufy drill, each hav- ' . . ..... ar,,tjA t.i Ariv and ng m jiurtiuuiisr pjj.nv v ..-w, no one intoriertiig who .numui. Track linors followed these, and witb their crowbars rectified tho line, ihe fillors came last One party of these filled and riaekod the spaces at the ondsand middle of the rails; tho oth er completed the Intermediate inter vals, and the job was loft till tbe squads of track repairers should come up and nnisn ine oaiinsung. t ha fillers leave it. full trains can run over it with safety at twenty miles an hour.

Let tbe elements of sav age warfare, and the actual prosence ot boitiloSioax along the bluffs, be woven into the pictare, and together it forms oa that the world kas not seen before, and which tho itone of matrlo can scarcely equal. Nor is any of this energy wsste. II it it asked i " Bow does tie work ret on P again lot the facta answer. On the C-th of May, 1869, lt forty miles of road were) completed. In a Hundred and eighty-two working days thereafter, two hundred and forty five additional mires are laid, and put in prime condition, every rufl und tie and spike having been brought up from tho rear. Seven saw mills fur nish tbe ties and lumber. All bridges are framed, the pieces numbered, and sot up where wanted without the least delay. The bridge at Loup Fork is 1,500 fuot long, and as fine a Howe truss as can be found in the land. While our train was running the six ty miles from North Platte, over a mile of track had been put down, and one train passed over it. From one o'clock till four in the afternoon, a mile and two hundred feot were add ed to this while the party was looking on. Tbo progress was astonishing, and the more so becauHe the ground was wet, and the soil stiff and hard with alkali. Unless driven off by Indians, which does not now seem prohublo, the roud will touch tho base of tho Itocky Mountains the coming antumn. The California end has already reached a point about a .hundred miles cast, And is descending tho eastern slope of the Hierra evadas into the valley of the Humboldt. It is confidently expect ed that Salt Luko will bo reached next voar, and that 1870 will see the wholo line completed. While tho nation has scarcely heard of what was boing dons, tbo work has been near one third accomplished, - General Lonsstrccts Letter. The following is the text of General Long ttreet't letter upon reconstruction, in reply to a communication addressed to him by John M. U I'arker : Nw Oblkams, June 3, 18U7. Your esteemed favor of the 15th ult. was duly received. I was pleased to have the opportunity to bear iSeoutor Wileon, and was agreeably surprised to meet such lairness and frankness in a politician whom I have been taught to believe uncompromisingly op posed to the white people of the South. I have maturely considered jour sugges tion to "wisely unite ia efforts to restore Louisiana to ber former position in tbe Uniou, through the parly now in power." My letter of the Stb uf April, to wbich you refer, clearly indicates a desire fur practical reconetiuctioa and reconciliation. Practi cal men cau surely distinguish between prac tical reconstruction and reconciliation as an abstract question. I will endeavor however, witb renewed energy, to meet your wishes In tbe matter. Tbe serious difficulty that I np- prebead it tbe want of that wisdom wbich is necessary fur the work. 1 shall be happy to woik in any harness tbut promises relief to our distressed people and harmony to tbe nation. It matters not whether 1 bear tbe mantle ol Mr. Davis or tbe mantle of Mr. Sumner, so that I tuay help to bring the glory of "peace and good will toward men." 1 shall set out by assuming a proposition that 1 bold to be self evident, vn: Tbe high est of bnman laws ie-tho law that ia estab lished by appeal to arms. The great principles that divided political parties prior to Ibe war were thoroughly dis cussed by our wise statesmen. When argu ment wua exhausted resort was bnd to com promise.' When compromise was unavailing, discussion was renewed, and expedients Were sought, but nuae eould be found to suit the emergency. Appeals was finally made to tbe sword, to determine which of the claims was th. true construction of VJonstitutiooal law. The sword has decided ia favor of tbe North, and what tbry claimed at principles censed to le principles, and are become law. The views that we held ceaee to b. principles be cause tber are opposed to law. It is there fore our duty to auanaou meas inai are oo sol.te, and tlout'urm lo tbe requirements of law. The militarv bill add amendments are peace offerings. We should accept them at sueb, and place ourselves upon them as tbe etart- ... - . . t t . r. i:. lag point irom wuicn to iucci mutt pnuni ijaues as they arise. Like other Southern men. I naturally sought alliance witb the Democratic party, merely because it was opposed to the ttepuoncan party, but as lar at 1 can judge there is nothing tangible about it, except tbe issues that were staked afn tbe war and were lost. Finding nothing tolake bold of except preju dice, which cannot be worked into good lor any one, it it proper and right that I should seek tome stand-poiat from wbich good may ha do-we. If f aooreeiaie the prtnclplei of tbe Demo cratic party, itt prominent feature oppose the enfranchisement ol the coiorea man, anu ue- ny the right to legislate upon tbe subject of suffrage, except by tbe States inuiviuuany. Tbese two feaiuree have a tendency to ex clude Sou-theta men from that party , for tbe colored man it already enfranchised here, and wt eaoneA tcek alliance with a party that Wowid restrict bis ligbu. The exclusive rigM Of tbe State to legislate upon niflrajre wilt make tbe enfranchisement of the blacks, whether for better or for worte, fixture among ns. Ii annates, therefore, that those who cry loudest against this new order of things as a poblle calamity, are those whose principles wonlb fix it upo without a rtmedy. Heoce it becomes at to insist that suffrage should be extended to all the Statet, and r,.n. 1..1..1. Th. oeonle of the North should adopt what they have forced npon nt ; and if it be a mistake, mey snouiu nu."'. . j u. remedy inder repaoncan priacipiea i r.m u.i una a suffrage.

A dollar bere and a dollar there, scattered over numerous small towns, all over the country, miles and miles opart, how shall they come together T Tbe type founder bas his hundreds of dollars against the printer, the paper maker, tbe bonding owner, the journ eyman compositor, the tailor, and all assistants to bim carrying on his bus iness, have their demands, bardlyever so small as a single dollar. But tbe mites from here and there must bo diligontly gathered snd patientty hourded,or the wherewith to discharge tho largo bills will never become bulky.
