A Barber m ho Fv-rnfmbrred. From the TJticst Ob-erver , Not long ago, a colored man who was enjoying the exhilarating effect of something more potent than milk, boarded a Central-Hudson train at Tribe's Hill with the avowed intention of going to Albany. In passing through the train and gathering the tickets, the conductor encountered the colored fel- ow, destined to the capital citv. The fellow had no ticket, nor had he any funds on hand. The conductor labor ed with the man some minutes, but finding there was no blood in a tur nip, he rung up the train and invited the"culleel person" to step down and out. The conductor swung out one of his feet, which caught the refractory pastti gcr under the shin and hurled him down an embankment, lhe train moved on, ar.d what became of the fel- ow without funds was not long consid ered. A few weeks subsequently this con ductor wandered into an Albany ton sorial parlor to have the superfluous beard removed, and was motioned to a chair into which be hastily dropped The tohsorial pall was soon covered. over him, and his face besmeared with lather. . From a drawer near at hand, the colored tonsonalist whipped out a large and glittering razor. - As he pro ceeded to improve its keen edge on a strop that dangled from the wall, head dressed tne man in the chair about as follows : ''Say. boss, you doesn't know me, does yon ?" Another grand flour ish of the vazor over the strop followed, when the barber, contra ued : ' Does you 'member de fellah you- lambed from your tram up at Tribe s Hill two weeks ago? ' AS he drew the toot over his thumb nail, ne remarked, "Lat was a bad thing for you to do, nab, an' members it well. 1 By this time the conductor had been brought td! a' correct realization of hia situation and bounded frorti the chair and' danced around the room with the lather dropping from his ehin arid his hair standing on end: He was finally persuaded to resume his 'seat upon the wmTSttctrm wenight 6r the . razor that 'rid5ref enge was intended . .i.isii. t m : i v.'

A Helen's Babies " was recently produced by a Philadelphia minstrel company with considerable success, and last week it was perform ed in this city by Bryant's arid the San Francisco troupes. The fun of the thing lies in the personation of the " babies" by full grown minstrels, and, owing to the public's familiarity with the original story, a great amount of laughter is the result. In yesterday morning's advertisements the Bryant's changed the title to " Ellen's Babies,'' and the San Franciscos to The Fun ny B ubies." This is in consequence of threatened lawsuits by somebody who has copy wrighted "Helen's Babies" as the title of a dramatic production. Mr Habberton, the author, of the book, did not reserve the dramatic right, and lawyers say that any one has the legal right, and nobody exclusively, to adapt it to the stage under its original title. One dramatization was p'ayed in Aus tralia several months ago, and another is advertised in San Francisco. New York Sun. The Datr of Woman To be attractive is a duty which every lady owes to herself, to her domestic circle, and to society. Not only should she endeavor to please in address and in apparel, bat, whenever possible, in complexion ana in feature as w)t. Facial embellishment is to a lady as proper, and 'Oftentimes as neces sary, as are the adornments of her raiment, the artificial graces of her conversation, of Jher demeanor, or other meretricious attrac tions npon which depend so much of "her dominion and influence over man.' The woman who permits herself to become un lovely, who resigns herself hopelessly to the ravages of time, and the spoliation of her charms, visits npon her friends and ad mirers a sorrowful regret, that it becomes her to avert to the latest day. Of this social dnty, it may truthfully be said that Bhe can best acquit bers-df by the use of GouraucFs Olympian Cream. No other preparation approaches this in excellence, -in harmless neis and purity, or cumpans with it in the number Of spontaneous tt stimonials that its virtues have elicited Its advertisement has hitherto been its merit, its recommendation by oil that have used it, aDd not by sound ing and pretentieus advertising in the jour nals of the day.
