The Chicago Evening Post Of the
18th contained the following dispatch:
Gov. Merrill and two other mem,
bers OF the Capitol Commission re
turned last evening from inspecting
the oolitic etone quarrics at Oxford.
This quarry had been selected for the
Capitol foundation, but recent infor-
nation given the Commission renders
1t positive that the contract will be
annulled."
What the result will be, 1t is not
easy to tell. But the Commission
can rest assured that any step it may
now take, after all this higglins. will
be met with stubborn opposition
We would not be surprised if the
whole affair stood over till the SEES
sion of the next Legislature.

How Arab Ladies' Perfume Them
selves

How Arab ladies perfume themselves is thus
described by Sir Samuel Baker, in his work ON
the Nile: In the hut and tent, as it may chance
to be, a small hole is excavated, sufficiently
large TO contain a champagne bottle. A fire of
charcoal, or simply glowing embers, is made
within the hole, into which the woman about to
be scented throws handful of drugs She then
takes OIL the clothes or robe which forms her
dress, and crouches naked over the fumes. while
she arranges her robe to fall as mantle from
her neck to the ground q tent. She now
begins TO perspire freely in the hot air
bath, and the pores of the skin being open and
moist, the volatile oil from the smoke of
the burning perfumes is Immediately absorbed.
By the time the fire has expired the scenting
process is completed, and both her person and
her robe are redOlent OF incense, with which
they are 30 thoroughly impregnatcd that have
frequently smelt party of women strongly at
full a hundred yards distance when the wind
has been blowing from their direction. This
scent, which is supposed to be very attractive
Is composed OF ginger, cloves, cinnamon, frank
incense, and myrrh, species of seaweed brought
from the Red Sea, and lastly, the horny disc
which covers the aperture when the shell fish
withdraws itself within Its shell. The propor-
ton of the ingredients in this mixture is accord
ing to taste.

was ascertained that there q bruise upon the

almost cadsverous. The outlines OF the face are
handsome and dgnifed. There is mach OF

and gestures of this pale, weak and wasted man
He wears a long robe of violet silk, with some
kind of dark cape or collar, and has a massive
gold chain round his neck, holding attached to
II great geld cross. There is a certain nervous
quivering about his eyes and lips but otherwise
he is perfectly collected and master of the occa-
sion. His voice is thin, but wonderfully clear

vacant, and the little sleeper gone. She
child could be found. She searched the
house from garnet to cellar, with no better
success. The girl became frightened, and
started to alarm the neighbors, and as She
passed TO the front door, found it ajar.
Knowing that it was securely closed a few
minutes before, the thought came into her mind
that the child must be out In the street, and she
directed her steps in that direction. Blythe dim
light of the street lamp she saw the little Child
which she soon reached, and wrapping her in a
shawl, took her back to the house. The child
was in its bare feet, with no clothing on but
night-dress. The servant removed its wet gar
ments and again placed IL in bed, thinking ali
the time the child was then awake and that
she had awakened from her sleep, and, not
finding any one in the room, had started out
to find her mother. The servant, after put
ting the child in bed and watching till IL
was again asleep, slipped down stairs to get
some fannels in which to wrap its little feet

returning home, discovered something white
ahead OF them, and wondered what il cOu,l h,

had a call from the new celebrity day or
Two ago, and found him the same as ever; Ihad
fore he went east and to "the old countrie," and
1 cannot see that there Ia any change IN him ex-
cept that he shows more of the cE faif manner OF
a man who has travelled, and his brief sketch Of
his adventures was somewhat interesting. One
OF his episodes as a European war correspondent
was especially interesting, tor Miller had hand
writing far from legible, and when arrested with
Q quantity Of undecipheraole manuscriptstowed
away in his pockets they thought they had CT
and str atssen. The worst of it was that the
correspondent couldn't, in the hurry of the
M ment, make IL out himself for a short while.
just at present Miller is very famous, and he
Sc ms fully and modestly aware of it, but says,
very consciously, that 1t won't last. OF course
Mlller Is satisfied with his literary debut, but
think he has it in his mind to work hard and try
to earn more enduring fame than he has vet
reason to expect. The world has read consid-
cradle Notion concerning joaquin Miller. The
romancing accounts OF him which were pub
hshed abroad give him credit for having
small opportunity, and being an unread man,
while the facts are, that while not favored
with opportunity for q classical education, he
carefully cultivated. So that, while resident
of wild, mining region, where he a
county judge in one of the counties of eastern
oregon, he had the standard British classics
at hand, and made a carefully study of them.
In politics, Miller was a democrat, and he par
took of the southern school, as his poetry shows
ic II tOo koou W DC u utIt partisan,
and rather resented not being nominated as
Judge for the fifth judicial district two years
ago. The failure was n very fortunate thing il
it drove him away to become famous. His waits
of poetry had appeared at times, but he put
much finer polish on them since going abroad.
He must have economical greatly to save mp
means to travel upon, and imagine that in
preparing for a career he must have caused dis
satisfaction to his wife. Before his i'm East
oregon finished, she left him, by bis consent, it
is said, and went to her parents at Port Oxford.
Shn rlx, ok asx g. II:
after that he went East, and doubtless embit-
tered by the facts stated, he made no provision
for his family, for he had three children. Mrs.
Miller is now in this city, and l find her a beau
tiful woman, possessing literary and poetic
ability. / believe she is absorbed and satisfied
with his career, and it is hoped by their friends
that their differences may be reconciled and
they may be reunited. II seems to me that the
similarity Of their literary tastes is an element
OF incongruity, paradoxical as it may sound.
Mrs. Miller aims at a literary career, and it NAV
be that she also will become well known to the
public. Under the name of Minnie Myrtle, her
maiden name, she has been known as a graceful
writer for many years.
