SOME Powders. PERrrMFs. AND Fla
voRs.-A charming recipe for scent
powder, to he used for wardrohes, box
es. etc. far finer than the mixtures sold
at the shops, is the following:
Coriander, orris-root, rose-leaves and
aromatic calamus. each enc ounce: law
ender-howers, two ounces: rhodlnn
wood, one-fourth of a drachm; musk
five grains. These are mixed, and re-
duced to a course powder. The scent
on the clothes is as if all fragrant gar
den-fowers had been pressed in their
folds.
A perfume for note-paper. said to he
that used by the Queen of England, is
made of powdered starch, one-half
ounce; fresh orris-powtier, The aamo;
ottar-of-roses, ten drops. Put this in a
bag, and keep it in a writing -dcsk with
paper.
All delicious favors may be impro-
vised by keeping the substance i'll deo-
dorised alcohol. How deodorised? BY
filtering through animal charcoal or
boneblack in powder; the black may be
used many times over. A thick flannel
bag, with wire at the top, will answer
for filter. Fill it with the black dust a,
and pour the alcohol in it, leaving it to
settle through. Have wide-mouthed
bottles with glass shoppers ready, and
fill with alcohol: then fill with pow
dered or lemon-peel, peach-leaves, al
monds, slices of pineapple, raspberies,
or fresh cherries, and you will have n
finer assortment of perfumes than any
manufacturer can furnish you. If you
wish, however, favors which are out of
reach, it is best to use compounds of
which you are not ignorant.
Banana may be initiated with oil of
jessamine and very little tartaric acid.
Straw berry, with a very strong tine
ture of orris and very little ascetic
ether-one ounce of the tincture, and
one-eighth Of ether.
Strong tincture of orris-root rescm-
bles raspberry.
Pineapple is made of butyric ether,
the acid itself coming from the trans
formation of rancid butter by chem
ical process
Very little of these preparations is
needed to give the desired flavor. -Four
ounces of the tinctures mentioned will
supply flavor enough for constant use
during the whole Summer.

balf nm hour. strain through sieve
and use the tea TO wash all vanished
raint. II requires very little "elhow
nolish." as the tea acts as a strong de-
iercent. cleansing the paint from all
its impurities, and making the varnish
equal to new. 1t cleans window sashes
and oil cloths, indeed any vanished
surface is improved Ivy its application.
1t washes window panes and mirrors
much better than water and is excel
lent for cleaning black walnut picture
and looking-glass frames. 1t will not
do to wash unvarnished paint with it.

In the Supreme Court at Philadelphia,
in nisi prius, Tuesday morning, argu-
ment was had on an application for an
injunction restraining the Commi 'sion-
ers of Election appointed for the special
election on the new Constitution from
holding special election, and the City
Commissioners from spending any
money belonging to the city in aid of
said election. Judge Sharswood, be-
fore whom the case was brought, said
he was unwilling to hear it, and would
postpone the hearing unless there was
some application made, until next
Tuesday morning before Judge Gordon,
who will hold the regular Court of Nisi
Prius, and will summon other Judges
of the Supreme Court to be there on
that day sitting as advisers.

this age Is no by-play. 1t is stranger
than fiction. 1t Is exhaustive
of the very best energies of our being.
Everything, therefore, which serves to
develop and strengthen our spiritual
and mental faculties, and to give them
q proper direction, should be hailed as
most welcome response TO those
earnest longings which must at times
fill the heart of the least sensitive
among us.
Amid so much that Is trivial, vain
and hurtful, be it our aim to act a
manly and womanlypart,n not only dis
charging our own complex duties with
fidelity and fervour, but stimulating
those around us to nobler resolves and
more unselfsh deeds.
A woman's sphere of work. ah who
can measure or describe it? And yet
who does not need this work? 1t is
wanted in its patterns of truth, of ten
derness, of patience, of humility, of
self-denial, of heavenly -mindedness.
1t is wanted in soothing troubles and
in inspiring mirth. 1t is wanted in
nursing, teaching, and in manifold
ministerng. The ignorant, the vicious,
the infirm. the outcast, the care worn,
the despairng, the dying-yea, it is
needed everywhere. Not the work of
a silly, worldly, superficial woman, but
that of one who soberly realizes the
dignity of her calling, and gratefully
apprehend every opportunity of
tightening the burden which her fellow
travellers are bearing; of one who
m0destly and yet constantly claims the
right to be the almoner of Christ and to
distribute to others of the gifts where
with she herself has been enriched.
Every one of us has our own ideal,
be it base or lofty, that is, something
which forms the ruling thought, the
main desire of our life. If in any way
l may have succeeded in giving any
one of you glimpse of that noblest
ideal of all, viz that of a mind cultiva-
ted in and by the ineffable precepts and
science of Christ's religion as exem-
plfied in words of purity and deeds of
charity, my humble mission hither will
not have been in vain.
Let me leave with you this beautiful
portraiture of what woman ought to
be, whatever one of you through grace
may be:
She was phantom of delight,
| When first she cleaned upon my sight,
| A lovely apparation, sent
| To be moments ornament,
| Her eyes as stars oftwilight fair;
| Like twilights, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
| From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
| A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.
saw her, upon nearer view
| A spirit, yet woman, too!
| Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
| A countenance in which did meet
| Sweet records, promises as sweet;
| A creature not too bright or good
| For human natures daily food;
| For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles
And now see with eye serene
| The very pulse of the machine;
| A being breathing thoughtful breath,
| A traveller between life and death:
| The reason firm, the temperate will,
| Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill
a perfect woman, nobly plann'd,
| 70 warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet spirit, still and bright,
| With something of an angel light.

SATURDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 20, 1873.

William NJ. Tweed was sentenced on
Saturday to twelve successive terms OF
Imprisonment of one year each and tl
various fines amounting in the aggregate
to about s12,50O. Considering that or
the trial it was proved that he had stolen
a million of money from the people who
had trusted him with extraordinary
powers, this is by no means an exagger'
ated sentence.

The war cloud breaking

A Washington dispatch, dated Nov.
Goth, says "The only point of differ
ence remaining between Spain and the
United States is the surrender of the
Virginlus Admiral Polo, who is
clOt he'd with extraordinary power and
authorized to conclude a convention
with this government, agreed to the
surrender of the remaining prisoners,
and to pay an indemnity to the families
of those murdered. He conte nded,
however, for the right to hold the Vir-
ginius until 1t was shown that she was
entitled to the protection of our flag,
This would not be entertained, and he
then proposed reference to arbitra-
tors, the Virginius to he under the con-
troll of the United States until the qres-
tion was decided. This also was
declined, and the ultimatum of prompt
concession of this point or an end of
negotiations was announced. Admiral
Polo at once transmitted the result of
the interview to his Government, but
the despatch was very long, and it was
not until late Wednesday that 1t was
received in Madrid. 1t remaius to be
seen whether the CASTELAR, Ministry will
ratify the action of Polo and concede
the immediate surrender Of the Virgin
ius. The Secretary of State is con-
fident that it will, and moreover that
Castelar's Government will be strong
enough to enforce its DEGREES in Cuba
as well as maintain itself in Spain.
