Poisoned Pcrfnme. In pnri..

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times observes
The police of Paris have been for some
months engaged in the examination of va
riety of falsi6cations, and among the rest
that of perfumery. Several actresses have
been suffering from the effects of poisons alb
sorbed from the face, without suspecting that
their sufferings came from this source. The
quantity of corrosive sublimate, arsenic, vert
de-gris, vitriol and other poisonous or acrid
substances daily absorbed in Paris must in
effect be immense, and the reform did not
commence too soon. The investigation, how
ever, have forgotten to mention, was insti-
gated by a lawsuit, commenced by an actress
of the Varieties Theater against perfumer
for damages for an indisposition attributed to
his cosmetics. AT the same time the Acad-
emy of Sciences is occupying itself with the
question Of lucifer matches, and the reform
necessary in their mode of fabrication. Sew
eral deaths from poisoning in the nse of these
agents directed the attention of this learned
body to the subject.

Another Diamond wedding Duel In Pros

Bditor's SanctuBi- or rH-nrrcrl2
II Is rumored, says Saturdays s New York
EUeniny Post apparently on good authority,
that Lieut.. Bartlett, the father-in-law ofSenor
Oviedo, who has been for some time prominent
ly before the public in connection with the
wedding Of his daughter and the affair Of honor
with Mr.. Stedman, has been so highly in
censed by recent article in the Home Journal
that he has demanded satisfaction.
The article in question was with reference
to the reported engagement and approaching
nuptials of a distinguished foreigner, in which
the hope was expressed that the approaching
wedding would not be such an affair as the
famous diamond wedding, and an adjective
was applied to the latter by no means COM
plimentary. .s'
II is said that Mr.. Bartlett, on reading the
article in question, went TO the Office of the
offending. Journal in high state of excite
ment, and, encountering the editor, asked an
explanation; but not receiving an apology,
declared that he would demand immediate
satisfaction, and went off in high dudgeon.
When our informant last heard Of the Lieu
tenant he was in search Of friend and it is
probable that a hostile message has already
been sent to the quiet sanctnm of the Journal.

Particulars Of the Loss Of the Portuguese
. BrtR-Of-yVnr.


The Boston Traveller furnishes the follow
ing particulars of this disaster "The ship
UrieL, Captain Walker, from Calcutta, bound
to Boston, on the 23d Of january, while scud-
ding before a strong breeze, observed vessel
astern showing signals Of distress, and short
ened sail to allow her to come up IL was
the Portuguese brig-of-war Mondeigo. The
sea was very rough so much 30 that the brig
dared not round to when she came up with
ship, but ran two miles to leeward. She then
signalled Save my crew. and fred gun,
and the ship hove to; the brig hosted out her
boats, which reached the ship in safety. The
boats passed between the vessels until they
were stove and then the ship hoisted out her
boats, one Of which was badly damaged, and
three of her crew were drowned; another
boat was also stove, still Captain Walker
urged his men to persevere in saving life.
The last boat, containing the officers and
eight men, reached the ship, but she was also
stove alongside.
From the account furnished by Captain
Walker, it appears that there were still some
people on board the brig when the officers
left, and that he hailed them to make raft
and save themselves, as all the boats were
stove. She was seen about six o'clock in the
morning, and the ship kept by her until six
in the evening, when the brig, which had
been running TO leeward, was brought to the
wind. A sea struck her, she heeled to
port, and Immediately went down with all on
board. The ship was worked up to the place,
hove to, and, as it was then dark, showed
lights, but only. saw pieces of the wrecked
boats. Nine officers and ffty-fve of the crew,
including two women, were saved, but the
number lost is not given.

DISCOVERY OF AN IMPORTANT LIGHT.-'Mal-
akotf" the Paris correspondent of the New
York Tines writes that scientific men have
been employed there for some time in seek
ing an artificial light for the exploration of
the cavities of the human body. The diff
culties in the problem were to find light
that produced no caloric-a light which
might be condensed in tubes of small dimen-
sions, and which produced a white flame.
Messrs. du Moncel and Ruhmkorh, Russians
have arrived at these results. They employ
the empty tubes of Geissler, which do not
transmit caloric under the influence of cleo
trio light. These tubes are bent and inter-
laced into a labyrinth, and they thus obtain
vast quantity Of light in space so small as
will admit of its use even in cavity like
that of the nostrils. This light has already
been used with advantage in the examination
of disease in all the cavities of the body.

A correspondent OF the New York Inde-
pendent, writing from Tennessee, says, in a
recent letter; W
have been even afraid, and am yet, to
mail letter TO you (although was born and
raised in this State) on account Of the oppo-
sition TO your sentiments, and mine too, on
slavery. We have fifty families at least who
do not own slaves TO one that does; and of
those fifty nearly every one heartily wishes
that ours was free State. If there be war
on this subject, and an army from the free
States were to come down here, there would
be more by far who would fly TO it than to
the army for protecting slavery. have been
a good deal at college, and / have been in
New York city also, and although have
been kept in the dark on this fearful subject
like all, or nearly all the non-slaveholders of
these Southern States by the oligarchy of
shareholders, yet have had better opportu-
mites than usual to become informed on this
matter. II is a very sad thing TO think of
the ignorance and stupidity Of SO large,a ma
jority Of our people. II is the policy of
the Shareholders to keep them Ignorant,
and they have been entirely successful. t
have seen slaves, for small offenses, beaten
with great hickory withes, when every stroke
would make the blood flow; have known
one hundred lashes to be given, and the vic
tim to be literally hayed alive.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN INDIA.-Some dis
pute having arisen between the Hindoos and
Christians in Amednugger, India, in regard
TO the drawing of water from the public
tanks, the former looking upon the latter as
outcasts, the magistrate decided that the
Christians could enjoy all the rights they had
before conversion. The Hindoos, not salts
fed with this, appealed to the Governor in
Council, who not only confirmed the decision
of the magistrate, but went one step further,
and reminding the Hindoos that according to
their own Shasters, 'the caste of the Ruler is
equal to the highestp Thus all Christians
being of ''the caste of the Ruler" or of the
British Queen, are made the highest at once.
This, if carried out will relieve Christian
missionaries in India of a great deal of an

GOVERNOR BIssELL's RELIGIoN--A rumor
that Governor Bissell, of ILL.,, died Catholic
is contradicted. The Chicago journal says
the reverse is the fact; that Governot Bissell
ssas not Catholic. His family belonged to
that persuasion, and it was only at the last
moment, and out of aspect to their feelings,
that he consented to be buried according to
the rites of that church. We do not suppose
it makes any difference in what faith man
no one could be buried in what the Catholics
are pleased to term 'holy ground" )" unless
before death he became virtually member
of their church.

age of five years, during the temporary alb
sence of his parents, he rescued his little sis
ter, then an infant in the cradle, from q hor-
rible death, by seizing her in his arms and
rushing from the building in which they then
resided, and which by some means had taken
fire and was entirely destroyed.

Amusing MistalSe--A Minister Asked to

A well-known minister of Chelsea, Mass,
was greatly surprised, some time since, at
receiving an epistle from lady friend Mt Cape
Ann, containing sundry and divers female
confidence relative to her approaching mar
riagc, and an urgent request to send immedi-
ately hoop skirt" The minister was com
pletely dumbfounded. 1t was strange epis-
tie for him to receive, but there was the sub
scription: Rev. 80, as plain as could be.
In the course Of the day, however, the mys-
terry was cleared up, and it appeared that the
fair correspondent had indicted two letters,
one to the Reverend, requesting his presence
to the marriage knot, and the other to fe-
male friend, enlarging ON the anticipated
curing that highly useful article, a hoop skirt.
By some hocus-pocus the letters were placed
in the wrong envelops, but luckily the right
fnl owners eventually exchanged letters, and
the minister and hoop skirt were both there
