Perfumes are again in fashion. Tho tickle
goddess has once more taken them into favor,
and her votaries will again appear rcdoleut with

cured from the burning Of gums, spices, and
odorous woods, to crafty the Henses, and which
later were furnished BY tho musk, nmbergris
and civet, and by a few flowers, aro at this day
not only tho result Of the cnFeurage, sur macera-
ton, OF almost nl1 known blossoms, but are pro-
cured, by chemical process, from articles in
themselves the opposite Of swoet.
One reason for the decline Of the use Of par
fumes at particular eras, vas their employment
as vehicles OF death by poison. In the reign OF
Louis XIV, the act Of poisoning by this means
had reached such perfection, and PERSONS had
become such adopts in their use, that it vas dan
gerous to partake Of or use anything which did
not come through trusty hands. Some Of Louis
nearest relations periAhed By poisons supposed
to have been administered in s1uffs, liquors,
fruits, or perfumes. To mix subtle poison in
q fayorite perfume was common mode Of re-
moving one who had become obnoxious. Long
ere Louis time, Catharine de Mcdicis WAS ac-
cused OF causing the death Of the Huguenot
Queen, Jeanne dAlbret By the present Of a pair
OF perfu1ned poisoned gloves.
The story goes that Anne Of Austria, the
mother Of Louis XIV, suffered from an ofeu-
sive disease, and being fastidious1y particular
not to be disagreeable to herself or others, she
lived in almost en- artificial atmosphere so heavy
was the air about her always with scente. The
court followed her lead, aud the lady OF fashion

which they VICE attached to their girdles called
ponander boxes. Sometimes these boxes we're

The ancients wero particularly fond OF tho

great banquets Lad tho hoors Of their diniag-

that sort-nor did he say that he should
keep voting back pay TO himself till he got
square, but he left both these facts to be
inferred. And really when you settle
right to the merits of the question, how
are YOU going to get around an argument
of that sortP Ten millions Of dollars is a
good deal of money. At a cent apiece it
would take nearly all of Platt's franks in
the last campaign 10 make it up. OF
course Platt wants to get his money back
Having settle Il Q questi n on its merits
Plat, in that large way so rare in politi-
clans before election, and so beautifully be-
coming in them after gave the Convention
30 understand that neither Convention nor
Legislature could instruct him. If there
anything Plat has despised from his youth
up il is instruction. In the phrase of the
worldly they couldn't play that on him. "
Ii would be time enough, he said, for a
Republican convention to censure the Re
publicans who voted for the Salary bill
when Democratic Legislature censured
the Democrats who voted forit Few men
beside Plat would have thought of that.
Il is view worthy committeeman and a
statesman. In conclusion Platt said he
was prepared to defend himself ION every
stump in Virginia" And that's good
thing to do, and Just like Platt Still, he
ought not to tire himself out, for the coun-
try is expecting great things of him at the
next session.
And yet passion and prejudice 50 warp
the judgments of men that some of the
best citizens of Virginia believe that Plat
never could have earned four hundred dol
lars a year if he had stayed in Vermont
and that he hasn't earned four hundred
cents since he has been in Virginia Thi
in the face of the historical fact tina
Platt isn't half paid for his services. There
seems to be no standard price for pure in
