1.-THE Introduction of ~patchouly, the COM
,paratlyely new perfume, is said to have been
brought about as follows: 1t was noticed by
the European merchants that q peculiarly
pleasant o,dor pervaded all the India shawls,
End this oodor came-to be regarded as an infal-
libleei test Of the genuineness of the article. Its
cause was inquired into, and it was found to
be given to the shawls by contact with a herb
known to the Hlndoos as putcha, pat, or, as It
b now commonly spelled, p%atchouly. Impor-
tations OF the dried herb as IN aid TO the
snawl-makers' enterprise followed, and this
led toits introduction as q toilet perfume IN
Europe and thence to our own country.
The grain crop of the Pacific slope Is re-
ported as being Unprecedented In the annals OF
that land OF plentiful harvests. The wheat
crop OF Livermore and San Joaquin Valleys,
California, is estimated at from twelve to
fifteen million bushels, which have all been
gathered and bagged, and are now lying In
heaps along the Central Pacific Railroad,
awaiting TRANSFORMATION. One field In Liver
mora Valley covers sixty-eight thousand
acres, or over: one hundred and elk square
miles, and has yielded forty bushels OF first
class wheat to the acre. Within seven days
the wheat yield of that large farm was stand
Ing stacked within sight OF the railway, in the
hempen sacks commonly used for sending
grain to market, and the cost OF the sacks for
that farm alone was $50, 900.
Die who knows says that German women
prefer the man who Is agreeable and keeps his
word, strictly. French women choose q man
with open brow and smiling c~ountenance.
The Russian females prefer o countryman Of
their ewrf who looks upon Western nations as
barbarians. The Danish women remain closely
athome, n desire TO hear nothing OF travel
abroad. The Spanish women selects q man
capable Of ayenglng his honor and her own.
The Hollander one who Is peaceable In his.
ways and desires never TO hear of strife and
war. And: the American ladies marry the ear
liestgoodi offer they get, taking the first man
VINO VIII take them, caring nothing for his
lHaak,or social position, and still less whether
Ne be halt, lame, deaf and dumb, or Blind-if|

for us that we live In such a country
"A correspondent writes from Gettysburg:
81 saw q statement published
TEE NEWS a few days ago that the bodies
of. between seven and eight hundred Con-
tedarate soldiers had been dlsinterred and
recently conveyed to Richmond;;' and further,
that about fifteen hundred bodies had been
redntsrred, mostly men Of Plckett's Virginia
division The statement appears not exactly
correct. Dr.. Rufus W. Weaver, of Philadel-
phia, who has the contract for exhuming the
Confederates, and who takes great interest in
the work, and Is doing 1t In a very efficient
aud delicate manner, gives the exact amount
Of work done to date. Besides what were
taken away by relatives and friends, the doc
tor shipped: last year three hundred bodies, |
mostly Georgia, North and South Carolina
This year, first shipment seven hum
dred and eight; second, eight hundred and
eighty-two, and the last, which was on Mon
Gay last, six hundred and eighty-three, making
In all two thousand five huadred and seventy
three bodies. The doctor further states that
there remain some six or eight hundred more
be exhumed. That part of the field In
which General B.. 7. Johnson's division, In
Guiding the Louisiana tigers, fought. has not
been reached as yet. There appears to be a
feeling existing among some
In not allowing the exhumlng of the
bodies unless a certain SUM is paid. In one
case a farmer demands five dollars, In another
ten, and so on, even to fifty. On the other
hand, be it to their honor spoken, there are
many wAo. not only give the required permls.
but even lend a helping hand"
