A Homo Recipe for OstO of Roses

A Homo Recipe for OItO Of Roses.
St. Louis Globe-D DOmocrat.l
At this time Of the year, when
so many rose leaves fall to the
ground and are wasted, every lady
can, if she chooses, manufacture a
delicious perfume at a cost of less
than fifty cents, and in a few min
utes' time. Take a two gallon
glass jar, and fill full of clean,
freshly picked rose leaves. Then
cork it tight, and take d two-ounce
vial and fit the neck, into the cork
of the two-gallon jar. Cut some
sponge into narrow strips; soak
them in good oil, free from smell or
rancidity, put the strips into the
small vial, turn it upside down, and
put the neck into the bung of the
large jar. Place them in the sun
for four days, and the heat will dis
till the rose leaves, and the aroma
will ascend and saturate the oil in
the sponge, Put in fresh leaves
about four times, and you will have
small vial of the finest otto of
roses that can possibly be made,
and in quantity sufficient to scent
the clothes and handkerchiefs of a
a family for a year. Pure otto OF
roses cost thirty dollars per ounce,
Be sure and keep it well corked Oh
it will evaporate.

The Theft of GaIusbOrOuEh's Pic.
lure.
London Times, May I'll

London Times. May I'll
The picture which had already
become famous for having been sold
for 10,1O0 guineas ($53,025), the
highest price ever paid at an auc-
ton for a portrait, has now been
rendered still more so by having
been stolen from the gallery in
which it had only recently been
placed for exhibition, known as the
New British Institution, No. BOB,
Old Bond street. The greatest ex-
citement arose in the neighborhood
when it became known yesterday
morning, soon after z o'clock, that
this extraordinary and daring rob-
berry had been committed. The
large printed placards in the win
dows inviting attention to the pic
ture were soon surrounded by little
crowds, who read with no small as
tonishment the written notice that
during the night some malicious
person had cut the picture from the
frame and stolen it.
From inquiries made on the spot
it was found that the picture had
been very neatly cut from the
stretching frame after it had been
removed from the gilt frame in
which it hung against the wall,
near the window above the door
way on the first floor., The stretch
ing frame was seen leaning against
a sofa opposite the now empty gilt
frame, and it showed that no un-i
practiced hand had operated upon
the canvas, as the picture itself had
been completely removed, leaving
nothing but the clean cut canvas
at the edges on which it had been
mounted when lined. The gilt
frame had the nails simply bent
back and not extracted, 50 that the
thief or thieves lost no time in
needless trouble.
The apartment in which the
picture was exhibited showed
scarcely any marks of what has
been done, beyond some crumpling
of the drapery hung in front Of
| the picture, This room is not
more than ten feet square, having
only one window opening into
Bond street, theother being blocked
and covered with cloth hanging
like the walls of theroom. A pas
sage opens on to it from the large
gallery where the water-color draw
ings are hung belonging to Messrs.
Agnew. But the one window was
found open about two feet, and on
examining the lead outside there
was distinctly visible the mark of q
nailed shoe. The window had no
blind to it, consequently if any
light had been used during the
work of the thieves it would in all
probability have been noticed by
the policemen in the street. who
J were aware that no one resided in
the house after the doors were
closed, and the premises left locked
up for the night. 1t appears that
/. a porter was employed by Messrs
/ Agnew to see to the fastening Of
the doors, and that the same person
was entrusted with the opening Of
: the doors in the morning. As fal
2 as is at present known, all the
! doors was found fastened as they
\ had been left.

The Vermont State election viii be held
week from to morrow. The canvass is
progressing with unusual interest and ac-
lively. A significant feature of the cam
paign is that the active workers on the
Democratic side are nearly all old-time
Copperheads, the war Democrats taking, as
usual. the back seats. A correspondent of
the Springfield Republican, whose afee-
tions are about equally divided between
HAYES and Tilden, writes that the sneer OF
the bloody shirt during the canvass has
been exceedingly damaging to the Demo
eracy, and for this reason
i number of fine gentlemen Of Vermont
birth and education have been either mur-
dered or expatriated at the South, for no
other reason than the fact that they were
intelligent. fearless men, who knew their
political rights and those of their fellows,
and showed determination TO maintain
them. These real victims to Southern ter
rorfsm have friends and relatives through
out the State, who can give the lie to all
imputations of crime or misbehaylOr on the
part of these gentlemen, whose bloody
shirts" the Democracy attempt to whistle
down the fctions Of the campaign. The
Coushatta massacre destroyed one Of the
Twitcheu brothers and his four brothers
in-law, and the surviving brother is now at
Newfane, having survived his recent wounds
With the loss of both arms Captain Dick
inson. of the Seventh Vermont, murdered
near Tallahassee, Florida, where he had
settled after the war, and Captain Fisher
of the Fourth Vermont, who was driven
from North Carolina, were men of too high
character to justify the suspicion that they
were other than innocent victims of or
ganized terrorism. The bourbonism of the
leaders, the sneering down of the war, and
the mud thrown at the 'bloody shirt, have
all served to fire the Republican heart this
year so fereely that | would not be sur
prised 70 see the majority exceed that OF
