PERFUMERY.-The value of perfumery
is but little appreciated in this country
A superficial idea of its purpose generally
obtains, and this often among many who
practically, yet unconsciously, exemplify
its greatest utility. An instructive love
for things that delight the mind and the
sense is often, in this as in other respects
uuacknowledged because not appreciated,
by reason of some mysterious unsympa
thetic power of repression.
There arc some people who look upon
perfumcry as mere toilet luxury. Hav-
ing purchased bottle of fine cologne OF
extract, it is set aside to be called into
requisition presumable only on occasions
of balls, parties, social gatherings, &c.
Yet its real intrinsic value exists in far
noblcr uses-happier, lovelicr, and inspir'
ing. When sickness comes into the
household, how grateful and refreshing to
the invalid And how quickly is it called
for by the suffering, or kindly proffered
them by sympathizing friends. While
flowers are forbidden the room Of the sick,
on account of their we'll known injurious
influences, pure spirituous odors are gladly
approved by the medical faculty, on ac-
count Of their rcyiviug and disinfcctins
virtues.

ng- The colonists of New Sweden, in
Maine, retain in their new home the ccs-
tune of their native country. The dress
of the men and boys resembles the costume
worn by our grandfathers, while the women
and girls wear a plain Straight dress, with
short sleeves, narrow apron, and upon
the head a silk handkerchief, folded and
tied under the chin, aud looking very odd,
but pretty and comfortable. Both wear the
national wooden shoes, with high heels
and turn up toes, and painted black. The
children arc dressed exactly like father
and mother, and in the demurc Of man

of William Cullen Bryant, for fagrant

offence consisted in recitiug a poem enti'

was that Bryant graduated at Yale. and
the poem went forth to the world in the

Quartzopolis looked shame.faccd, and
was completely conquered when Mr.. Brown
turned suddenly to the Parson and said {:

Gents, you see this 'erc hat, aud here's a

waddlcd down and up among the seats,
rcaping the harvest his eloqucncc had
called forth.
The face of the Parson shonc for joy as
Mr.. Brown, bearing the air of conqueror,
mounted the platform with hat weighed
down with coin.
The school was now an assured success,
financially considered, and the Parson
announced that the election of officers was
the next proceeding necessary. He called
upon his generous friends to name the
man whom they thought best fitted for the
responsible position Of Superintendent Of
the Quartzopolis Union Sunday. school

With one voice the assembly roared,
"Jim Brown" But Mr.. Brown arose,

been known to show, said that The gents

So Deacon Dobson was accordingly cleo

minor offices we're soon filled, the various
committees formed, aud the meeting dis
missed with prayer.
The Parson aud Mr.. Brown walked arm
and arm to the Oriental, and sat far into
the night, discussing projects for the
benefit of the newborn school. Next day,
as the Parson left the door of the Oriental,
and mounted his buggy, brought round
from the stable by Tatters, he carried
with him check for one hundred dollars,
drawn in favor of the Sunday school Or
ganization Association, and signed "J.

Among the many natural wonders of
California which excite the admiration of
strangers who visit our State, says the
Alining and Scientific Press, is the ia
nous El Dorado County cave, which was
discovered in 1860 by William Gwynn,
whose work men were engaged in quarryipg
stone to build lime kiln. The cave, or
grottos is not Of a very great size, but its
chief attraction consists ia the beautiful
shades aud colors of the alahaster which
forms the sides and roof. When brilliantly
lighted up with torches, most magnificent
scene is presented to the gaze of the visitor.
In one portion of the cave the alabastcr
has taken the form Of pulpit.
Mr.. Gwynn, in letter to friend, thus
speaks of this natural curiosity; "On our
first entrance we dcccnded about l5 feet
to the centre of the room, which is 100 by
81 feet. At the north end there is mag

Where the Indians Came From.
Interpreter to the Expedition.

A few weeks ago a Japanese junk camo
ashore on one Of the islands of Alaska,
with three living japanese on board. The
vessel had been disabled in a storm of
Japan aud had drifted two thousand FIVE
hundred miles in nine months, twenty.
three of the crew pcrishing from hunger
and exposure. Just forty years ago, a
japanese vessel with living men on board
came ashore near the mouth of the Col.
umbia river in Oregon. 1t had cargo
of rice, and the crew consequently had
enoagh to eat, though their only drink
was water from oc ,asional rains.
Such occurrences assist greatly in ex.
planning how America was peopled-a
question very perplexing to our ancestors,
though late geographical and chronological
researches show clearly that there is very
little mystery about it. The Japanese
are evidently of the same race with our
Indians, their language being TO some ex-
tent similar TO those Of our tribes; and it
is not at all unlikely that. during the
thousands of years to which japanese his
tory goes back, many vessels have Aoated
from their shores to ours bearing living
persons of both sexes But, even if it
we're impossible for them to cross the
ocean, it is certain that Asiatics could
easily make their way to America across
Behring's Straits or the Aleutian Islands.
the distances between which would an
easy voyage for canoe.
In an account of voyage down the
Amoor, by Perry McDonough Collins, the
tirst American who ever descended that
river he called the wild tribes on its banks
Indians. lie was familiar, by long per-
sonal observation, with the tribes in Ore
gon and California, and declared he could
see no material difference between them
and the trlbeson the Amoor. Their ap.
pearance, their garments, their mode Of
life, the lodges in which they dwelt. he.
said, were all similar to those of the ma
tives Of Oregon. Their language, also,
seemed to him very much the same, tho
of course he had no critical knowledge of
their dialects. Taking this resemblance
for granted, and there being no great DIFF
ficulty in crossing the ocean by way of
the Aleutiau Islands. even in canoes, there
is no longer any mystery about the peo-
pleing of America. DR.. LIE Plongeon, q
learned gentleman, maintains after long
study Of Peruvian antiquities that civiliz-
alton and population originated on this
continent, and that the arts, customs. man
ners and religions Of the Chinese. the As.
syrians and Egyptians, are only devel-
oped limitations of Peruvian originals
According to eminent geologists, this cou-
tinent was the first land that rose above
the ceau that formerly covered the whole
Of the earth.
