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 creatures-the very monads of life
can be caught by microscopic lens and
made to deliver up the secrets of their or
ganization; but what it is that emanates
from the pouch of the musk-deer, that fills
a whole space for years and years with its
penetrating color, an odor which an illim-
table number of extraneous substances
can carry on without diminishing it in size
and weight-and what it is that the warm
summer air brings to us from the flowers,
no man has yet been able to determine.
So fine, so subtle, so imponderable, it has
eluded both our most delicate weights and
measures and our strongest lenses. five
come to the essence of each odor, we
should have made an enormous stride for
ward, both in hygiene and in chemistry /;
and none would profit more than the medi-
Cal profession if it could be as conclusively
demonstrated that such an odor proceeded
from such and such a cause, as we already
know of sulphur, sulphureted hydrogen.

members of Congress. has not so far as we
are aware, led To very important results.
There would now appear TO be an oppor-
tunitv for it to distinguish itself, not by
adding TO the natural food products of the
country, but by acclimating tree already
known to possess medicinal properties, but
whose greatest virtue is only beginning to
be understood In recent communication
10 the French Academy of Sciences, it was
stated that the Australian ettca1ypttes g1o6-
u1ouS, whose growth is exceedingly rapid,
and whose dimensions rival those of the
SeqltOid. has the capacity of absorbing ten
times its weight of water from the soil,
while at the same time it emits an antisep-
tic camphorous effiuvium. and is thus
doublv an antidote to malaria This pow
er of making marsh land dry and of ban
ishino intermittent fever has now been
proved bv experience in various quarters
of the globe-by the English at the Cape
of Good Hope: on large scale in Al lgeria
in France, in the department of the Var
and in the island of Cuba. The salubrious
action of the eucalyptus is. if the stories
concerning it are to be believed, prompt
and efficacious. 4 plantation only nine
feet high, which had been set out near AL
giers in the spring of 1867. is said to have
prevented entirely the annual recurrence
of fever in July of the same year, and to
have maintained this immunity for the dis
trict ever since. The eucalyptus is already
cultivated in California. Mr.. Nordhotf
speaks of one which grew twenty feet in a
single wear. and of another which, in eight
wears from n small cutting had become
seventy feet high, with diameter OF
two feet at the base. What the range of
this tree is in our climate it would be very
easy for the Bureau of Agriculture to de
termine; and when we reflect on the vast
proportion of our territory which is given
over to chills and fever, it seems difficult
to exaggerate the material and even moral
advantages of a wide diffusion of the Aus
tralian evergreen. 1t would certainly do
more than any other thing to promote inn
migration to the South. How far the West,
with its rigorous winters, could profit by

TIE UNEXPECTED AN ELEMENT OF
HAPPINEss.- is full of surprises In
the unlooked-for thing, the unrecognized
value in the familiar thing, we have hints
in a thousand WAYS of this element of our
life, the unsought. the uncalculated, the un-
prepared for. 1t has its dark side |
know; the sad disappointment. the unlock
editor trouble, but quite as often it is the
undreamed of flooding of our souls with
gladness. But even of the dark side, the
disappointed hope, the unexpected sorrow,
we have to say that that also bears in its
heart the unlooked-for good,-the still
more unexpected peace. Even the antic-
ipated evil,-before the coming of which
we have trembled as something we could
not bear-when it has come, has brought
with it an unexpected strength Gods
hand was there-the secret might which
he has set in the depths of the soul, or the
hidden safeguard whereby we are shielded
from feeling more than we can endure
1t is not all that we dreaded; and the tears
wherewith we water the garden beneath
which dear hope is laid, themselves now
flow into a river of life, and bear us out on
the deep ocean of God. Next to the jov in

through the streets of Syracuse, and he put
such life into the word eureka, which he

simple, familiar homely ways, God who
has made us what we are, infuses this ele-

morning picture or sunset glory thrown in

INDIANAPOLIS SEN TINEI,
FRANK. FEARLESS AND US1RAMxtlsD.
THE NEWSPAPER OF

Atthe beginning of the new year the Sen tineI
greets its patrons with ''some degree of honest
pride" over the work which il has done during
the past twelve months, and with a full conf.
dence for the future, growing out OF a conscious
ness OF the same upright intentions which have
heretofore guided it. During the stormy events
in society and politics which have made the
last year memorable, IL pursued a bold fearless,
and answering course. 1t has been true 10 it's
principles under a great variety of temptations
to truckle and falter. Yet il has not been Wis
ionary or lmpraeticable on anT occasion, but
has always chosen what il considered the best
side in any contest, municipal, state or national,
and has struck into the fight heartily but
fairly. It still maintains, as hereto ore. the
opinion that the affairs of the national govern
ment have been grossly mismanaged in almost
every department, from the smallest detail in
the corporate concerns of the city of Washington
to the broadcast interests involved in the recon-
s%truction of the Southern states, and it claims a
place among the leaders of that great uprising
which has taken place among the peeple
against the dishonesty and generalization
which have made our political system rotten to
the core. In the struggle for the overthrow of
the present administration, the destl uction Of
which is the great political necessity of theday,
1t has taken no small share, and it will be found
a steadfast champion in carrying on the revo-
luton which has begun.

TO ALL WHO U 1T.

A year ago the Sentinel promised earnest, I'M
relaxing efforts in the production and presenta-
ton of a wholesome, refined and trustworthy
news medium. In the success Of that effort it has
the cordial endorsement of a vast number OF
contemporary ournals and the written assurance
of a great constituency of ministers, teachers,
lawyers and families. The measure of the Sem
tinel's success is, however,, best shown by the
position which il has taken within the year,
as the first newspaper of the State, and a lead
ing newspaper OF the West. To this fact nearly
every journal of intelligence and discrimination
in the State has borne testimony, as well
as the swelling list of new readers who have
joined its ranks of friends. Concerning its
| general features as a newspaper IL may be
said, that the Sentinel will hold its rank
as the foremost in the State, by a continu-
ance of the same policy OF liberal expendi ures
when ever events of moment occupy the puolic
mind. The features for which this paper has
become popular and distinguished during the
last year, will be carried out still more fully, If
possible, the coming year, and every departments
made Of vital, abiding interest and usefulness

FOR THE NEXT YEAR

the Sentinel reaffirms its attitude IN the
past year-the slavish organ of no party or
credible temperate advocate only Of the
most generous measures in Church and
State. 1t will continue TO publish all the news
at the earliest moment. 1t will reflect the SEN
timents OF. the people. 1t will support
only honest men for Office, and
demand a pledge of character rather
than of party. 1t will uphold zeslously the
hands of all men honest and earnest in reform,
and it will strive to give all sides a hearing on
the changing topics that fill the public mind
from time to time. On the great industrial
questions, now moving the public mind, the
Sentinel viii maintain a hearty, earnest CO.
operation with all struggling men seeking to
better themselves mentally, physically, and
every way. To the opposition to monopolies

furthering all interests in this direction, wisdom
must be called in to keep the crusade against
public abuse, monopolies. and the like, from
degenerating into demagoguery. In all emer-

No use of fanny longer taking the large, repul-
sive. gripping, drastic and nauseous pills, COM
posed of crude and bulky ingredients, and put
up in cheap wood or pasteboard boxes, when
we can, by a careful application of
science, extract all the cathartic and other
medicinal properties from the most valuable
roots and herbs, and concentrate them into a
minute ~granule, scarcely larger than a mus
tard seed, that can be readily swallowed by those
of the most sensitive stOmachs and fastidious
tastes. Each Of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pellets represents, in a most concentrated form,
as much cathartic power as is embodied in any
of the large pills found for sale
in the drug stores. From their
wonderful cathartic power, in proportion
to their size, people who nave not tried them
are spt 10 suppose that they are harsh or drastic
in effect, but such is not at all the case, the diff
ferent medicinal principles Of which they are
composed being so harmonized, one by the
others, as to produce a most searching and
thorough, yet gently and kindly operating ca
thartic. The Pellets are sold by dealers in med
icines.
