OF the Society, which was tavorabiy received,

III the discussion Whlch ensued, A. w. Harrl-
SOD, ESQ.,, said that it had for years been
wonder TO him that the odorous flowers of the
South had not been utilized. In France whence
we import immense quantities of the extracts of
flowers, they are compelled to resort TO the most
expensive methods OF cultivation, while in the
South the woods are filed with fragrance from
the same flowers growing wild. He asserted
that at least half, II not majority, of what pur
port TO be extracts are made by combinations,
and that, in commercial point OF view, the cost
OF transportation from the flower region OF

energy enough to start the business.
PICKPocKET ARREsTED.-John Mcbride had a
hearing before Alderman Better yesterday
afternoon, charged with picking pockets at the
fire at Eleventh and Noble streets. 1t seems
that two young ladies, while conversihg toge-
ther, missed their pocket books, and, after
moving to the corner, they questioned young
man about their loss. At that time Mcbride
appeared and shook his fist at one of the girls
and remarked, "What are you telling on me
for {" Information was then given that he was
the thief, when Mcbride ran down the street
! to Tenth, and thence to Vine, where he was
captured. Mcbride was held for q further
hearing this afternoon at the Central Station,
and the young ladies are requested TO be
present,
ANOTHER MILITARY ORGANIzATIoN.-We un-
derstand that il is contemplation to form a
Highland Guard in this city, similar to the one
in Chicago. Such company would meet with
the admiration and encouragement of large
