The DEAD.-The death of Senator
Wright, of New Jersey, has evoked very
general outburst of eulogy, as did the
death of Dean Richmond and that of John
Van Buren,. 1t is pleasant to see republ:-
cans and democrats unite in praising good
men irrespective of party prejudices. 1T
is entirely too much the fashion, in these
degenerate days, for journalists to sink the
gentleman in the partizan. We rejoice,
therefore, when any of our compeers have
the magnanimity to rise above such grov-
cling practices, and speak of a surprising
intellect as it deserves when viewed in a
nobler light and manlier atmosphere.

PERrUxERy.-The origin of perfumcry,
like that of all ancient arts has, been the
subject of great controversy. Some assert
that its birthplace was Mesopotamia; others,
Elan or ancient Persia; others again Arabia,
(which has long enjoyed and still retains
the name of the ''land of perfumes 1t
is, however, certain that the first perfumes
were obtained by the combustion of aro-
matte woods and gums, thence the name
per- .fitmmm, "through smoke, ~ and that
the first use primitive nations made of them
was to offer them on the alters erected to
their gods, perhaps with the mystic idea
that their prayers would reach them the
sooner being waited on the blue wreaths
of smoke, or for the less poetical purpose
of counteracting the smell of the flesh
burned in their sacrifices. Modern incense
derives its sweet balsamic smell from ben
zoin, (Styrar benzoin,) which also forms
one of the chiefingredients in pastillcs and
fumigating powders.
