ABOUT PERFUMES. in rare perfumes
say that an increasing amount is sold annually,
and that during the past year the amount sold
was very much beyond that of any preceding
year. Ladies revellng in their own sweetness
can never cry peccari but must borrow sweets
like the busy bee, 'from every opening flower"
According to the Paris correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce the passion for perfumes
materially increased also both in England and
France as well as in other parts of the world
British India and Europe consume obout l5O-
600 gallons of handkerchief odors yearly and
the English revenue from Eau de Colo0ne Is
about $4,000 sterling year. The total reve-
nue. from imported perfumes in England is esti-
mated at about SAC, 900 per annum. The largest
revenues of the estates on the borders of the
Mediterranean are those which proceed from
the sale of the orange blossoms and Parma
violets. Many of the perfumers of Paris pay a
yearly sum, varying from 10 to 80, 900 francs to
the proprietors for their whole crop of orange
blossoms or violets. The feurs du caronier of
Faguer is one of the favorite and most delight
ful odors used for scenting the pocket handker-
chief.

a GooD ONE.-Dr. Magoon, recently in a. lee
tnre on " Mind your Business" told the follow
ing good one:
A young man went from New York city to
the West, where he commenced business on his
own account, and married His friends in the
city were interested in his welfare. and when a
merchant was about to journey to- the place
where the young man had located, he was re-
quested to visit the emigrant and ascertain how
he lived what sort of wife he had chosen, his
prospects, &C. Accordingly the New Yorker
ascertained the residence OF his young friend,
and called upon him quite early in the morning.
He found him in small neat COTTAGE and just
takino his breakfast. The Introduction of the
New Yorker to his wife was quite off-hand and
unceremonious, and he was requested to be
seated and partake of the morning meal. The
Young wife had prepared the steak, biscuit, and
coffee with her own hands, and for table had
used her kneadng board, over which napkin
was spread, and the board " placed on her
lap. The New Yorker declined seat at the
table, and took his leave. On making his re-
port to his New York friends as to how he found
his young friend living, he described the style
as magnificent !"-and for explanation of the
superlative he said, that were he the owner of
that young mans furniture, he would not take
ten thousand dollars for the legs of his table
