A CORRESPONDENT WHO has made the
drainage of land great success, writes
that when quicksand or unsound ground
occurs drains should be cut wider and
sometimes deeper, with their sods tram
pied down along the bottom, before
either tiles or stone conduits are intro
duced. Sods thus placed along admit
water freely, and the substrata in conse-
quence very soon become solid. He
recommends sods in preference to clay,
because at the bottom of the drain the
frequent variation of the clay between a
drenched and dry state are calculated
to disarrange or absorb the materials.

Perfumery.

III 1880 less than 2,100 packages Of
fine perfumery were imported at Boston
and New York. The export is mainly
from Grasse, Nice, Cannes and Bremen.
The manufacturer extracts the oils, and
the perfumer buys the oils and extracts
and compounds them. OF the fragrant
flowers in the world only about dozen
are used in the manufacture of per-
fumery, namely, the violet, rose, orange
flower, jasmine, tuherose, cassia, laven-
der, thyme, rosemary, geraniums, jon
quill and fennel
The rose and the orange are the most
valuable The Province rose is the only
one used. The bitter orange is said to
yield the best blossoms for perfumery.
One ton of blossoms produces two
pounds, eight ounces of oil neroH. One
ton of the distilled leaves of the verbena
geranium yields from twenty-four to
thirty ounces of the essential OIL The
flowers of the jasmine are picked after
sunset in July and August, as soon as
the dew is off. A ton of roses
yields two ounces of the ottar.
Perfumed oils are made by putting
fresh flowers into the finest olive oil
from twenty to thirty times. The es-
sential oil of flowers has strong affinity
for lard and grease. The latter is
saturated many times with the flowers,
and the result is rose, orange, cassia and
violet perfumes. Pomades immersed
il alcohol are rendered into extracts.

EhGLAND'S HEROES.
BY OSCAR WILDE.

BY OSCAR WILDE.
Set IN this stormy northern sea,
queen OF these restless fields of tide,
England What shall men say of thee
Before whose feet the worlds divide?
For southern wind and east wind meet
Where, girt and crowned by sword and fire,
England with bare and bloody feet
Climbs the steep road to wide empire.
o lonely Himalayan height,
Gray pillar OF the Indian sky,
Where saw'st thou last in changing fight
Our winged dogs Of victory?
The almond groves of Samarcand,
Bokara, where red lilies blow,
And Oxus, by whose yellow sand
The grave white turbaned merchants go:
And on from thence to Ispahan,
The giided garden of the sun,
Whence the long dusty caravan
Brings cedar and yermilion.
Here have our wild war eagles flown.
And tapped wide wings in fiery flight;
But the sad dove that sits alone
In England-she hath no delight.
In vain the laughing girl will lean
To greet her love with lovelit eyes.
Down in some treacherous black rayine,
Clutching his flag, the dead boy lies.
And many a moon and sun viii see
The lingering wistful children wait
To climb upon their fathers knee;
And N each house made desolate
Pale women who have lost their lord
Win kiss the relics of the slain
Some furnished epa9ette-some sword
Poor toys to sOothe such anguished pain.
For not in quiet English fields
Are these our brothers, laid TO rest,
Where we might deck their broken shields
With al the flowers the dead love best.
For some are by the Delhi walls,
And many in the Afghan land,
And many where the Ganges falls
Through seven mouths of shifting sand.
And some in Russian waters lie,
And others in the seas which are
The portals to the East, or by
The wind-swept heights of Trafalgar.
wandering graves! o restless sleep!
o silence of the sunless day.
still rayine! stormy deepi
Give up your prey Give up your prey!
And thou whose wounds are never healed,
Whose weary race is never won,
o CromwelPs England! must thou yield
For every inch Of ground a son?
Go! crown with thorns that gold-crowned head
Change thy glad song to song Of pain;
Wind and wild wave have got thy dead
And will not yield them back again.
Wave, and wild wind, and foreign shore
Possess the flower of English land;
Lips that thy lips shall kiss no mere,
Hands that shall never clasp thy hand.
Where are the brave, the strong, the fleet?
Where is our English chiyary?
Wild grasses are their burial sheet,
And sobbing waves their threnody.
o loved ones lying far away,
What word of love can dead lips send 2
O wasted dust o senseless clay
Is this the end? Is this the end?
Peace, peace! we wrong the noble dead
To vex their solemn slumber so;
Though childless, and with thorn-CrOwned head
Up the steep road must England go;
Yet when this fiery web is spun,
Her watchmen shall descry from far
The young republic like sun
Rise from these crimson seas of war.

A Letter from this WeiI-KnoV-n Gen
ueman Who is "a ''Regular,' of the
Old school,.

CFrom the Boston Daily Journal, June ~
We published several letters lately, which
have evoked considerable comment. both from
being read in our columns and in our cotenl-
Poraries who have copied them. We refer to
letters from Burlington Providence, Spring
field and Hartford, on the subject of the won
derful curative powers OF a remedy called Kid
ney-Wort, which has been so thoroughly tried
oS to seem to be the long looked for medicine.
Great good Is done by really frst-class article
as this seems to be, and when it is recognized
by regular physicians in all parts CT the coun-
try, it is naturally received by the people at
large with faith. We append letter on this
subject received by us, from well known
Irregular" physician of Northern Vermont.
1t is worth careful reading:
