BATaED IN SWEET PERFUME.
Philadelphia Disputes First Place il
the Markets of the World.

Slowly yet surely are American manu-
tactures entrenching themselves 10 foreign
quarters where heretofore it has been
deemed impossible to gain a foothold. In
South America, Russia, Norway and
Sweden. many lines of American goods
are now as familiar as their own or Eng
lish or French wares, and in quality and
price can fully compete with them. The
low price of material and labor ruling at
present Edoubtless has tended in great
measure to produce this result, while the
depressed state of trade, blocking up our
home avenues, has forced US to seek new
| anG untfied quarters. The last articles to
enforce their superiority in foreign mar
kets are pertumery. soaps, lilywhites,
pomades, &c. Heretofore England and
France met with no riyal abroad. and even
| shipped immense quantities of these pro-
ductions to our shores, much to the dis
advantage of sAmerican manufactures
! Gradually, however. the foreign demand
decreased, until the centennial clearly
demonstrated that the higher grades of
American perfumery are equal in quality,
odor, and as lasting In perfume, as any Of
these arti cles manufactured in London or
Paris. Not only was this proven, but such
| firms as the Totlows, and other representa-.
tive perfumers. insisted that these high
grades of goods could be placed 10 England
or France much lower than their own
goods of the same standard.
| The old world was slow to recognize the
fact, but by persistent efforts the feat has
been accomplished. The first invoice OF
| American perfumery ever shipped to Eng.
land will go out in the next steamer of the
American Line. The credit Of this new
enterprise is due to the energy and per
sistent Efforts of Henry Tetlow & Brother

damned If he let the order go. Witness
didn't believe that Grant thought that af-
ter the 10th of January Packard should
be sustained. The negotiations were with
the object OF getting Hayes not to interfere
with the already established Nichols gov
erDment. sA
Several questions were asked. which
occasioned wrangliEg between Butler and
Hiseock. Witness continued: Frye
Howe and Wadhgh always maintained

A telegram was read from Gov. Young
