Avoid the PeriIs OF the Season.

Autumn. although the most radiant
portion of the American year, has its
drawbacks The heavy evening dews and
morning vrpors and the great disparity in
temperature between the night and day,
give rise to many painful disturbances OF
diarrh9a and dysentery. The digestive
organs are also unfavOrably affected by
the change of season, and dyspeptics gen
orally suffer most severely during the
fall. arrangements of the liver are like
wise common, and miasmatic fevers pre-
vail in newly-settled districts and LOVELY
ing and marshy localities. These UNI
pleasant contingencies of the season are
not, however, unavoidable. By strength
ening. toning and regulating the system
with HOstetter's Stomach Bitters even the
most delicate may escape them. AT the
expiration of summer all the bodily
| powers are in somewhat exhausted state.
| They require the W holesome stimulation
| which this genial vegetable invigOrant
| supplies. Under its renOvating influence
| the nervous energy which the whiting
| heat of July and August had kept in abey-
| ance or partially eXtinguished, crops out
afresh the flaccid muscles recover their
elasticity; the appetite takes a sharper
edge; the processes of digestion and as
the spirits rise, and the whole OrganiZa-
ton acquires its maximum of activity and
resistant power. Even persons of com
paratively feeble constitutions, when thus
fortified against the perils of the season
| will have little cause to fear visitation
from any of the disorders to which We
have referred. As protection against
miasmatic fevers and all epidemics engen
dered by malaria HOstetter's Bitters may
be justly pronounced not only unrivallet
but unapproached. Look well to Tho

YIang-Ylang.

Six or eight years ago new perfume.
in the shape of Il handkerchief extract -
was introduced into this country from
England, bearing the curious name OF
Glsng-ylang. or, as perhaps more proper
ly spelled Ihlang-ihlang.
the trade'' naturally concluded that the
flower from which the new ''extract" was
said to be distilled was mythical bios
som existing only in the Imagination of
some enterprising perfumer who needed
a ''taking name for Il new fancy bouquet.
The INITIATED supposed that a hitherto I'M
known production of the floral kingdom
had been added to the scent-maker's labor
atOry; and, although precedent was
against them, their guess was, this time.
right. The ihlang-iElang is a veritable
flower, produced by Il large tree known
to botanists as the Unona odordtissin,a.
This tree is a native of MALAYSIA, or the is
lands of the Indian Archipelago. Ihlang-
ihlang is Il native name, SlgnIfylng the
'.fiower OF flowers.''
The flowers of the Unona are fiOsculent
and dropping. Their color is greenish
yellow, and they possess a delightful odor
| resembling mixture of jasmine and lilac,
yet having a popularity that cannot be
| likened to the fragrance of any other
| flower. This odor is said to be so power
full that it scents the air for miles around
| the trees.
| At the Exposition Universelle, 1867, NJ.
| Rimmel exhibited the ihlane-ihlang flow
err preserved in glycerine. The drawings
| of it which he gives are somewhat sug-
/ gestivc of our own familiar locust bios
som; they appear to be disposed on the
| branch that sllstains them in a similar
| fashion.
| The flowers were first distilled by q
! chemist at Manila, and yielded an Ottar,
or essential oil, representing their delight
| tul Odor in state of great concentration.
This ottar was exhibited, probably for the
first time in Europe, at the Exposition OF
1867.
Ottar of ihlang- ihlang is now largely
distilled at Manila and Singapore. 1t is d
yellow liquid, not quite as heavy as water
and possesses, as before noted, the char
acteristic fragrance of the flower. 1t is
very costly, being valued even higher
than the precious Ottar of roses. The
wholesale price of oil of ihlang-ihlang is,
at present, in the London market, about
two pounds per ounce, and i'll this
| country fifteen dollars. or at the rate OF
two hundi ed and forty dollars per pound
The strength of this oil is so great that
Notwithstanding its high cost, it can be

Typographical Accuracy.

Every one who has been in the habit of
reading carefully the London newspapers,
as well as those of our own city, cannot
have failed to notice the greater typo
graphical accuracy of the English press.
This is not achieved without immense eX-
pense and labor. On the great London
dailies each portion of matter passes
through Il number of different hands.
From the g reader" generally a fairly ed
ucatcd man. it goes to the Sub-editOr's
room, where it is carefully perused by a
gentleman in his department. Thence it
passes, if editorial matter, to the editors
room, and is carefully gone over by one
OF the chiefs of the editorial department.
If it be foreign correspondence, it goes to
the ''foreign editor whose department is
entirely distinct, and from him to the edi-
| torial department. One of the principal
| dailies retains the services of a gentleman
whose extraordinarily extensive reading
and retentive memory make him invaltl-
able i'm correcting inaccuracies in the way
of quotation and illustration. 1t is his
| duty to read over every editorial and
morsel of foreign correspondence. The
editorials on the Times and Telegraph are
so much altered by the editorial over
of their authors, they could hardly
be recognized as the original COM
| position. Il don't quite like that" an
editor will say: ''see if you can give
| more point to the Wlnd-up OF TINS leader.
| After that it will go to some one else, who
! will make still further alterations. But
| the result is a similarity and equality of
tone, which is specially observed in the
| London Times. The articles, although
written by very different people, are so
| thoroughly trimmed by the same hands.
that they are distinguished by the special
| style desired. These retinements are I'M
known here and more carelessness than
is exhibited by some of our best papers
cannot be found, except, perhaps, in the
provincial press of Ireland. 1t is not long
| since one of our leading Journals appeared
with the heading: ''Fsends in council;''
1t was nuts to the enemy, when they,
the next day, had to explain that they
meant to have said '.f-iends in council. -
In another daily we lately read the fol
lowing paragraph: "a few weeks ago

From the British Quarterly we stam-
pele this drove of Irish bulls:
An Irish coroner, in remarking on the
great mortality of a certain winter, went
on to observe that :" there are great
many people dying this year who never
died befOre.' 1t must have been Il
brother of this gentleman who, while
playing at cards, noticed that shilling
was deficient in the pool, and cried out.
6 Here is a shilling short. Who put it
in?'' 1t was Sir Richard Steele who said
to a certain great man whom he wished TO
invite, g If sir, you ever come within a
mile of my house, hope you will stop

to swear that he remembered the gun in

Machines Made Ice.

From what we can learn of the opera
tons of the various newly-invented ice
machines, it is not improbable that this
welcome commodity will soon be supplied
to each family, on demand, from portable
machines. that will be one of the regular
features of the s'cOminT dwelling"
At present the two most successful of
these ice-machines are those known as the
Care and Teller. 1t is stated that Tel
lier machine, capable of turning out ten
tons of ice per day, can be operated at a
cost, including labor and interest, of from
and peculiar feature of this ice that it is
more solid, and hence possessed of a
ereater cooling power than the natural
product. This result is due to the fact
that the water was submitted to a much
lower temperature than the freezing-pOint
-32deg. Fair. The ice in the Teller
machine is formed rapidly at five degrees
below zero.
The Messageries Imperiales, of France,
the largest steam, passenger and express
company in the world, used on their steam
erS i'm 1865. over one million and half
pounds of ice. With such an immense
consumption, it became an important
question as to what ice was the most last
ing. In order to determine this, the di-
be made, which were conducted as fol-
lows:
In the same room and precisely under
similar conditions, there were placed five
cakes of ice obtained from different
sources, and weighing two hundred
pounds each. These samples were care
fully watched, and the moment that each
had entirely melted, was taken as the unit
of its lasting value. The following is a
tabulated statement of the result obtained.

Under Grant and Under johnson.

1t is worthy Of remark that the CHAM
pions of President Grants administr ition
are given to contrasting it with Andrew
Johuson's. They assume that the pres
ent contest is one between President
Grant and his party, and ex-President
johnson and his party; or, at least. that it
Is a controversy between the policy that
prevailed under johnson and that which
prevails under Grant. In truth. there is no
pertinence nor equity in such contrast.
Andrew johnson had no party and no pol
icy. He proposed a policy, and he en-
] deavored to organize party for its sup
port; but his opponents in Congress were
too powerful for him to succeed; they
prevented the organization of his party.

The Death Of Poe.

The following is from sketch of the
life of Edgar A. Poe, in Ha1pes.s for Sep
TENDER:
He started from Richmond on the 81 or
81 of October. What happened during
the next four or five DAYS is involved in
considerable obscurity, but the facts, as
far as they can be ascertained, appear to
be these He arrived ut Baltimore safely,
but between trains unfortunately took Il
drink with Il friend, the consequence of
which was that he was brought back from
Havre dc Grace. by the conductor OF the
Philadelphia train. in Il state of dellrlllm.
1t was the eve of an exciting municipal
election. and as he wandered up and down
the streets of Baltimore he was seized by
the iawlcss agents of some political club
and shut up all night in Il cellar. The
next morning he WAS taken out i'll Il state
of frenzy. druggcd. and made to vote in
eleven different wards. The following
day he was found in the back room OF a
Headquarters and removed to a hos
pital on Broadway. north of Baltimore
street. He was insenSible when found.
and remained so until Sunday, October Z.
A doctor and nurse were with nm Whel
he first showed consciousness. w here
am I?'' he asked. The doctor answered.
- You are cared tor by your best friends .
After a pause. in which he appeared to
recall what had occurred. and to realize
his situation Poe replied, Ny best friend
would be the man that would blow out
nv brains" Within ten minutes he was
dead.
''Oh let HIM passl he hates him
That would upon the rack OF this rough "ofid
Stretch him out longer -
He was buried on the Sth OF October in
