BUCHU. The component parts are BUCHC,
LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATIoS.-Buchu in vacuo.
Juniper Berries by distilation, to form fine
gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with
spirits obtained from Juniper Berries; very
little sugar is used and small proportion OF
spirit. 1t is more palatable than any now in Use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is Of dark
color 1t is plant that emits its fragrance;
the action of fame destroys this Its active
principle) leaving dark and glutinous decoc-
ton. Mine is the color Of ingredients. The
Buchu, in my preparation predominates; the
smallest quantity Of the other ingredients are
added, to prevent fermentation; upon inspec-
ton, it will be found not 10 be q Tincture al
made in PharInacope, nor is it Syrup-and
therefore can be used in cases where fever or
Inflammation exist. In this you have the knowl-
edge of the ingredients and the mode of prepare
ton

that upon inspection it will meet with your ap-
probation,

Fashion Gossip.

The cost of making a dress nowadays
exceeds the cost of the material twice
over.
Some extravagant misses wear real
gold and silver buckles ON their slippers
instead Of imitation.
A new style of overdress is in three
separate pieces, joined together by large
fans formed of silk and lack.
The lightest colored bronze and mala-
chite are used for parlor ornaments and
are extremely beautiful.
Little tea parties and 10 o'clock sup
pers are the most fashionable entertain
ments given at Newport this season.
A pretty style of round hat for ladies
is a sort of cap composed entirely of
peacocks feathers and loops of black
velvet.
Caps are now seldom worn by our
dowagers, the hair instead being az
ranged in the most youthful and elabor-
ate manner.
Very pretty morning wrappers are
made of white cashmere, faced with a
quilted trimming of pink, blue or pale
green silk.
Flowers in great quantities are sent
by young men to their friends in the
country. This seems to be reversing
the order of things.
Some very elegant fans of point-lace
have the monogram inserted in small
emeralds and diamonds on one of the
side sticks.
At some of the Summer boarding
houses the butter set before the people
is like a well-defended fort--that is,
rather too strong to be easily taken.
The Nilsson scarf, consisting of a
square of light-colored silk, edged with
fringe and tied at the throat in loose
knot, are very stylish and becoming.
Many ladies who wear short sleeves to
their dresses wear bracelet at the wrist
attached by long chain to another
bracelet which is fastened just above the
elbow.
Linen dresses of all colors trimmed
with fringe to match and made in the
shape of polonaise, are worn by ladies
over silk dresses for travelling and riding
on dusty roads.
Some of the young girls at the sea-
shore have adopted the fashion of wear
ing the hair creped and hanging loose
down their backs, which is great saw
ing Of trouble and also of time.
Gongs are no longer used at hotels,
there being stated hours for the meals
and the guests are expected to be on
hand when the time arrives for feeding
without any further notice"

The Villa of a Retired EXpreSsman
NEW YORK.

The Boston correspondent of the Chi
cago JOmnn writes Probably one of
the handsomest and most expensive sub
urban retreats is that of MI Alvin
Adams. 1t lies in WATERFOWL, seven
miles from Boston, and embraces one
hundred and fifty acres. The grounds
are magnificent, and the farm has no
equal. The second floor is on level
with the dome Of the State House in
Boston, and the sweep of the eye from
the tower of the house catches in a pan
Drama of exquisite loveliness, embracing
view of twenty-six towns and cities.
One of the most attractive features of
this lovely home is the art gallery, which
is probably the finest private affair of the
kind in the country. There is nothing
in Boston equal to it. Among it's grand
paintings his Blerstodt'o 81 oLo TIL
cerne." Twenty years ago Mr.. Adams
was very poor man, but ventured in
business which has since grown to col
ossal proportions and now, as father of
the express business, he lives in retire
ment, surrounded by his broad acres.
1t must cost him 800, 900 year to carry
ON the place. Mr.. Adams is a great
lover of art, and is specially interesting
himself in the creation of the Boston
Art Museum.

The OuadrOOn's Revenge.

Quite a melancholy circumstance has
just come to light in respectable family
in New Orleans, and which will probable
result in the life of young and respect
able lady being sacrificed to jealousy and
superstition. The facts, so far as we
We're able to ascertain them, are these:
A young man named Cotier had formed
an attachment for young creole lady,
and addressed her. His advances were
received and it became bruited abroad
that they were to be married. 1t reach
ed the ears of a quadroon woman, who
was very much attached to the young
man. She at once visited an old Voodou
priestess, from whom she procured n
powder, which, if given to the young
lady would make her lose her lover.
Through the instrumentality of q SER
want girl the powder was administered,
and shortly afterwards the young lady
became sick. Her health has rapidly
given way ever since. At first the ply
'sicians could not determine the cause of
the disease, and, in consequence, were
unable to apply the proper remedies
DuJ Ol ldue bne uSpecJ VI Ile Gust HIS
left no room for doubt that she has been
suffering from strong vegetable poison,
which has insidiously undermined her
constitution. The terror of the servant
girl, when the fact of her being poison
ed was ascertained, first excited suspic-
ion, and close questioning soon devolp.
ed all the facts in the case. A compe-
tent and skillful detective was called in,
and through his means all of the parties
interested in the outrage have been dis
covered. 1t is hoped that the young
ladys life can be saved, but it is certain
that her health will by permanently in
iured.
