,ubcoon in The Tribune of the items constituting the
TeaRoom Refreshment Bills for January and February
last the keeper of the City Hall and the varous Com
rri,,ecs &c. of the Aldermen, were very prompt in
sending their bills TO the Controller and drawing pay
The publications which we made however seemed TO
be the signal for sudden exhibition OF modesty; the
Falhers were impressed with the idea that however
rroper "seven gallons brandy" "4OOO cigars, JJo
Quarts milk" &C. might look on the Keepers BILL they
made remarkably ugly show in print in the hands OF
the people So thenceforward the bills for Refresh
ments came in lump People OF Newfork' debtor TO
LAS w. TAYLOR, to Meat, Bread, Milk, &C, "a most
comprehensive ct cetera) for May, s70O thus evading
those provoking comments which parsmonious tax
rayers had been making the items oil the earlier
bills As the Election approaches, TINS modesty mas
rapidly increased, until II amounts to positive burden
of sedenal Not only the items withheld, but the
entire bills are kept backthe aggregates are enormous
and the public mus not see them until the voting Is
over for say the party il is better to forego the lew
thousands for month two than the Offices forever
There are some strange bills to be offered after I'd OF
November; bills for brandy wine, rum, gin cigars,
stationery gloves, badges, carriages without number,
clerk hire rooms and any amount Of refreshments Tor
Committees powder fireworks displays ieasts, junket
ipge &C, amounting very probably to $4,000 or $751;
CO. Of which least 0per cent was useless exrava
gsuce without even shadow OF excuse. Not long since
the Aldermen courted investigation as to the charges
current against them but then Election was aiar oil
and they were not modest, not so very umble, as
they are now However, the people must wait IN pa
tence the bills will come some day other, and then
We fhall learn the of that modesty which now
holds them back

Sources and Perfumes.


Whether any perlnmcd lady would be
disconnected at learning the sources Of her
perfumes, each lndy must Judge for herself;
hut it seems that Mr.. DE Ia Rue and DR..
Hoffman. in their capacities as Jurors of the
Great Exhibition, have made terrible work
among the pefhmery. They have found that
many of the scents said TO he procured from
flowers aud fruits, nre really produced from
anything hut flowery sources; the pcrIumcrs
are chemists enough to know that similar
oders may he often produced from dissiuilar
substances, aud if the hall-rrown bottle of
pcriumery really hns the required odor, the
perinmer does not expect 10 he asked what
Kind Of odor was emitted 10y the substance
whence the perfume was obtained. Now
DIR. Lyon Playfuir, in his summary of the
jury investigation above alluded 10, brondly
tells us that these primary odors arc often
most unbearnblc. IA peculiarly fplid OIL is
formed in making brandy and whiskey; this
fiIsil oil, distilled with sulpuhric acid and
acetate of potash, gives the oil of penrs.-
The oil of apple is made from the same iu-
Ill oil, by distillaIion with sulpuhrc acid and
biclronInte of potash. The oil of pine ap-
pies is obtained from product OF the action
of putrid cheese on sugar, or by making
soap with butte:. and distillng it with alco-
hol and sulphuric ar;l, ollh IS now largely
employed in England in hacking pineapple
ale. Oil of grapes and oil of cUsniac, used
10 impnrt the flavor Of French cogh!nc TO
British brandy, are little else than lusel o..
The artificial oil of bitter almonds, now so
largely employed in periuming soap and for
flavoring confectionery, is prepared by the
action Of nitric acid Off the fntid oils Of gas
tar. Many fair forehead is damped eau de
miHSa,us, without knowing that its essential
ingredients is derived from the drainage of
cowhouscs. In all such cases rs these, the
chemical science here involved is, really,
of high order, aud the perfume produced
is bono ide perfume, not one whit less
sterling than it produced from fruits and
flowers. The only question is one ofconimcr-
cial honesty, in giving name no longer ap
plicnble, and charging too highly for cheap
ly produced scent. This mode of saving n
penny is chemically right, hut commercially
wrong.-Dickens " Household Uords."

THE ANTI-SLAVERY- BUGLE,.

,ud announces the question for discussion.
which had been agreed upon the previous !
evening. The moderator then calls oil each |
one of the circle for an expression OF his or
her individual opinion. 1t generally occu-
pies the whole time to get once around; as
the combative and fac,ious ones will ever
and anon break through all order, and ~
spite of parliamentary rules get up side dis
cussions, and let off random witticisms,muc
to the annoyance of lovers of good order,
though seemingly to the amusement OF all
concerned. AS a general thing, however,
the questions are discussed in calm aud
logical manner though doubt wetfer our
Senate Chamber ever Witnessed more stor-
my debates than we occasionally get up,
when the question is of sufficient interest, or
appeals directly to our love of justice or hu-
manity. AT recent meeting when the "ln-
dian question" was under consideration, the
discussion became so interesting, and the
whole assembly so enthusiastic and vociier-
Gus, that the moderator, being a timid girl
and unused to cross firing aud sharp shooting,
in the very height of the battle precipiiately
left the chnr and summoned one OF the
stronger ser to fill her plnce. AS specimen
of picnic tactics, | must say admired the
cool imperative inannerin which she brought
the dchnters to order; but | should have
been better pleased if the moderator had
girded up the loins Of her mind and perform
cd her own duties. Her act was kind oftacit
acknowledgement of mems superiority that
cut me TO the very quick. But to return.-
After the discussion ofthe question, an orig
inul essay is read 5y one OF the company
appointed at previous meeting, aud a Sc
lection of poetry, or prose, is read lly ano-
ther; than the committee on questions re-
port, when vote is taken OH several questions
proposed by them, and one chosen for dis
cussiou at the next evening. We then finish
the evening with music on the piana OF
guitar, and occasionally with n waltz, fancy
dance or plain quadrile, aud then retire to
our respective homes about half past ten
O'Clock.
| 1t is now nine months since we held ON
first picnic, aud we who have attended reg
uiarly agree that they are far moro pleasant
and profitable than at first, for it took us
some time 10 learn to talk to the point, aud
at the proper time. j.. Z. S.

From the Lilly.
A Seneca Picnic.

IL is acknowledged by all that we Senecas
are peculiar people. II is certain that in no
village west OF the Cayugn is there so much
freedom of thought, speech aud action, us is
here tolerated. Our people are remarkable
for their originality and scientific research,
aud both men and women anuse themselves
in trying philosophical experiments. There
is no end to the inventions that have been
conceived aud brought forth here; and IL
the brains Of our philosophers and seientifcs
continues rs prolific rs in times past, there
must of necessity he room Mt the Patent
Office, in Washington, set aside especially
for specimens from Seneca. Here boats are
propelled by uir, and stoves taught TO regu-
late themselves. Here are manufactured, in
quantities TO supply the whole country, the
pumps and garden engines which furnish
both man aud the Vegetable creation with
naiurc's pure element. Here wus held the
first Womar's Rights Convention, md here
was the first resistance made TO the taxation
of womnn's property. Here the women
wear short skirts, short hair, round hats, and
long boots go TO fourth OF July dinners,
give toasts, and listen 10 cannon, unmoyed.
Aud here, too, the girls give balls, They
engage the dancing hall, provide the supper,
| invite the gents, and foot the hill themselves.
/ liCfe we nave plc-nlcs WITHOUT any eatnOles,
not in slndy groves, or on sunny banks,
hut in our own quiet parlors, where each
gucsl brings an idea, recitation, or a song,
>, instead of sandwiches lemonade or COM
6s; where we 90 10 discuss interesting
J questions, and not for the purpose Of display
ing our charms and fnery, nor TO eat hot
s,ippers at midnight, to wind up with bad
dreams and headaches the next day.
But MS there has been much interest OK
pressed in these new fashioned entertain
menls by distinguished persons from dis
tancc, aud us there have been many inquiries
mnde MS 10 onr mode of procedure, for the
benefit Of all tlioss who may wish TO follow
our example, will give brief description
Of one evenings meeting;
We assemble about seven o'clock, and as
soon as n respectable number are present
we choose moderator who takes the chair
