AN INGENIOUS DEvICE.-A capillary
correspondence was recently attempted
between a notorious Partisan thief in
durance vile and his letter from his
.fa'ecee, containing merely lock of hair
wrapped In the leaf of book. The
jailor did not consider the souvenir i'm
portant enough to be delivered, but in
few days came a similar enclosure and
yet another. This aroused suspicion,
and the governor took the matter in
hand. He examined the leaf of the
book; it was that of common novel,
twenty-six lines on page. Then he
studied the hair, and noticed the small
quantity of the gift. Counting the
HAIR he found them of unequal length,
and twentysix \ number, the same as
the lines OF the page. Struck with the
coincidence, he laid the hairs along the
line of the page which they respectively
reached, beginning at the top with the
smallest hair. After some trouble he
found that the end of each hair pointed
to different letter, and that these let
tiers combined formed slang sentence,
which informed the prisoner that his
friends were on the watch, and the next
time he left the prison, to be examined,
an attempt would be made to rescue
HIM. The governor laid his plans &C.
cordingly; the attempt was made, but
the rescuers fell into their own trap.

PERFUMES. fair readers may be
Interested to learn where, for the most
part, the flowers grow the sweet perfume
of which is found in those pretty .RacOas
on their dressing tables. The chief
places of their growth are the South of
France and Piedmont, namely: Mont
peler, Grasse, MINES, Cannes and Nice;
these two especially are the product of
about IL, 900 pounds of violet blossoms.
Nice produces a harvest of 100000
of orange blossoms, and Cannes as much
again, and of finer color; 500 pounds
oforange blossoms yielded about 2 pounds
of pure Neroi oil. At Cannes, the
acacia thrives well, and produces yearly
about 5000 pounds of arnica blossoms
One great perfumery distillery at Cannes
uses nearly 10000 pounds of orange
blossoms, lao, 900 of rose leaves, 1000
pounds of jessamine blossoms, 10000
pounds of violets, and 5000 pounds of
tuberoses; together with great many
other sweet herbs. The extraction of
the ethereal oils, small quantities OF
which are mixed in the flowers with
such large quantities of other vegetable
juices that it requires about 900 pounds
of rose leaves to win one ounce of otto
OF roses. demands careful treatment.
The French, favored by their climate,
are the most active, although not al
ways the most careful preparers of per-
fumes; half of the world is furnished by
thus branch of their industry.
