| But wha, We started ont to DO TO-DAY
was particularly to direct the attention ~
ladies. and others. to their magnificent
stock OF druggists sundries, conpri,i0o
the finest variety Of toilet goods and per.
fnmeries we have ever seen in this conn.
try. And right here we want to tell
something of the history of perfumsry:
Among the many enjoy yments provided
for poor humanity by bountiful nature,
there are few more delicate than those DE-.
rived from the sense Of smell. Who h,,
not fell revived and cheered BY the balmy
fragrance of the luxuriant garden or tho
fowery meadow. The origin of perfume
ry. like that of all ancient arts, is shroud.
ed obscurity. Some assert that i. wa,
first discovered in Mesopotamis, the seal.
Of earthly Paradise.
| "Where gentle gales,
! Fnnnng their oriorifsrous wings, Iispers
| Native perfumes, and whisper whence they ,,oIs
| Those bSmy spoils.''
Others say that it originated in Arabia,
which has long tern famed as the "land
Of perfumes" Among he Greeks, per.
fnmes were moi osly considered as 40
homage hne to their driiiss, bnt As a
sign of their presence Homer and other
poets OF his time never M 'niion the spps.
ri,ion Of goddess without speaking Of
the smhrosial cloBds xhich snrround her.
Tins is Cupid's fair mother described in
the Had. when she visits Achilles:
"Ceissial Venus lowered Der his head,
And rosea,s ungnrn,s heavily fragrance she'd"
Pleasant perfumes exercise chseriDg z in.
fuence on the mind.
"The smell OF vioIets hidden in the green,
| Pour'd back into my empty soul and frams
| The times when remember to have been
| Joyful and free from blame"
But no matter about the origin OF per.
fumsry. People viii use it. and want to
know where to get the best. We ssy 60
to Penick & Loving's.
] At the head of the house Of Psnick &
Loving, stands Gen. W. R. Penick, its
founder. whose reputation as an honor.

manly intercourse with the druggists Of
the Northwest. His comprehensive
knowlege of their wants. added to bis
susvity, eminently fits him for this posi-
tion.
The first associate Of Gen. Penick IN
business, is Capt. VIM. Loving. one OF
the very best men Of St. Joseph, and one
who has no superior, il he hss an equ'l.
in the selection and purchase Of drugs snd
other goods in his line Of trade.
| With Messrs. Penick & Loving are $3.50
ciated Jos 8. Browne and Dan. OTools.

yesrs sgo as clerks. made themselves SO
indispensable as to become partners.
In the establishment. there are nesIly
q dozen clerks, all accomplished gentle
men in their several roles, and ever ready

With all these. and other excellent
facilities for transacting business intslli.
