SOURCES OF PERFUMES any
perlumed lady would be disconnected at learn
ing the sources of her perfumes, each lady
must decide for herself; but it seems that
Mr.. De la Rue and DR.. Hoffman, in their ca
pacties as Jurors of the Great Exhibition,
have made terrible havoc among the per-
fumery. They have found that many Of the
scents said to be procured from flowers and
fruits, are really produced from iiowery
sources; the periumers are chemists enough
to know that similar odors may be often pro-
duced from dissimilar substances; and if the
halC-crown bottle of perfume really has the
required odor, the periumer does not expect
to be asked what kind of odor was emitted by
the substance whence the perfume was OBJ
taincd
Now, DR.. Lyon Playfair, in his summary
Of the jury investigation above alluded to,
broadly tells US that those primary odors ure
often most unbearable "a peculiarly (nlid
oil, termed fusel oil, is formed in making
brandy and whskey; this luse oil, distilled
with sulphuric acid and acetate Of potash,
gives the oil Of pears. The oil Of apples is
made from the same lusel oil, by distilation
with sulphuric and picbromute of potash
The oil of pine-appes is obtained from n
product Of the action Of putrid cheese on su.
gar, or by making u soap with butter, aud
distilling it with alcohol and sulphuric acid;
and is now largely employed in England in
making pineapple ale. Oil OF grapes and
oil of cognnc, used to impart the flavor OF
French cognac to British brandy, are little
else than fusel oil, The artificial oil OF bit
ter almonds, now so largely employ in per-
! fuming soap and for flavoring confectionery,
! is preparedb by the action Of nitric acid on the
fGtid oils OF gas-tur. Many fair forehead
is dumped with ean de miHgRsurs, without
knowing that its essential ingredient is de-
rived from the drainage of cow houses"
In oil such cases us these, the chemical
science involved is, really, OF high order,
and the perfume produced is bona fidc per-
| fume, not one whit less sterling than if pro-
duccd from fruits aud flowers The only
question is one of commercial honesty, in
! giving name no longner applicable and
charging too highly for cheaply produced
scent This mode OF saving penny IL
chemically right, but commercially wrong

KAMA TERRrroRY.-The st. Louis Eve
ming News confidently expects to see this
new territory organized during the coming
session of Congress. 1t will probably cx'
tend north to the Great Platte, South to the
Arkansas, and West to the main ridge o.
the Rocky Mountains.
This will be one Of the preliminary steps
towards the construction Of a grand line D
telegraph and railway to the Pacific. Th'
valley Of tho Kansas river is very beautilu
and fertile, and for several hundred mile
west of the border well timbered. 1t j
bountifully supplied with springs and cover
ed with an exuberant growth Of gruPes.-
Such territory now occupied solely by
few wandering sovages, when organized b.
act of Congress with inducements to migrO
ton would soon afford belt of civilized POP
ulation in the direction where it will be mos
needed in facilitating the connection of tn
Mississippi Valley, with the Pacific"

ed blessings before them, have now falle
to the lowest state of degradation. IN

The wife, who once was fair in person, O
pure in mind, is the inmate of brothe
selling herself aud soul daily to lasting pei
diction. They were wealthy, and had friend
in abundance. The man grew infatuate
with the wine cup, and hence the source I
all their woes. - Cincinnati Commercial.
