THE MYSTERY OF PERFUME.-No one has
yet been able to analyze or Demonstrate the
essential action of perfume. Gas can be
weighed but not scents; the smallest known
creaIures-the very monads of life-can be
caught up by a microscopic lens and made to
deliver up the secrets Of their organization ;
but that which emanates from the pouch of
the musk DEER that which fills whole space
for years and years with its penetrating odor,
an odOr which an illimitable number OF ex
traneous substances can carry on without
diminishing it in size and weight-and what
is 1t that the warm summer air brings To us
from the flowers no man has yet been able to
determine. So fine, so subtitle, so imponder-
able, it has eluded both our most delicate
weights and measures and our very strongest
lenses. If we come to the essence of each
odor, we should have made an enormous
stride forward, both IN hygiene and in chem
istry; and none would profit more than the
medical profession ii it could be conclusively
demonstrated that such odor proceeded from
such and such cause, as we already know
of sulphur, sulphurated hydrogen, amonia,
and the like.

An ENCOUNTER WITH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
~, a pack of wildcats made an attack upon
the residence of Mr.. Powell, near the head OF
navigation on SunfOwer river, Miss. Mrs
Powell and = colored woman servant were
the only persons at home. The cats, who
were, it is supposed, impelled by ravenous
hunger, made battle in the following order
First, one cat sprung through the window
when Mrs. Powell, with great presence of
mind and skill, flung an ironing blanket over
it and tossed it out of the back door. Mum.
Der two then jumped in at the window, but
was killed promptly with an Ak. The ser
rant, who was just entering the house, was
then attacked by third cat, and her screams
brought neighbor to her aid. The fight
ended in the death Of pussy, when the rc,t OF
the pack made united onslaught they
were driven off at last, but not till they mad
inflicted some ugly wounds, for which the
sale of four cat skins on the following cay
hardly compensated.
