PnnuIar Perfumes.

"Good perfumes are made directly
from flowers, and not out Of cheese, coal
tar, and So on, as people have been led to
suppose" said an uptown chemist.
"rake the jessamine, for instance.
That's always fayorite, and is used in
the makeup of many perfumes. In
France the cultivation of this plant fer
the perfumery trade is an important
industry, though the plant is somewhat
difficult to raise Very hot seasons are
most favorable for 1.-THE hotter the
weather the richer the perfume.
"Thyme is an old-fashioned sort of a
plant, but thyml1s yulgarls, common in
France, Greece and many other coun-
tries. gives us valuable perfumery oil.
In Francs, they take from it two
entirely different oils, red and
white, the gathering being done in slim
mer months. In the same locality the
rosemary is cultivated, and being pop
uIar perfumery, is in great demand at a
high price. Patchouli comes from the
oil of the rogosteneon patchouii, plant
collected by the natives of the Malay
Islands. 1t is extremely powerful, d lit
tie of it going a great way when the
is used with altar of rose.
I'm altar of rose there is probably
more deception than in any other per-
fume. Certain kinds come from Turkey,
done up in curious bottles, and learned
some time ago, on good authority, that
these bottles and their contents were
manufactured in q Connecticut town,
and the profits were about seventy five
cents on a dollar. The genuine thing
comes from Turkey and Bulgaria.

from which this valuable oil Is taken IS
the rosa Damascena, and rose water Is
made from a decoction of the leaves OF
the same plant. The petals OF rosa Gal

narts of England and Europe, are greatly
valued. and the leaves also bring q
high price. The same deception is found
in these. those imported from France

drop of ammonia, however, detects the
fraud.

slavery and Religion in Egypt.
From the Pail Mall Gazette

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A recent traveller in Egypt sends us the
following Illustration of the endless difficult
! ties the khedive has to overcome in the
slow progress of interior reform. Indig-
nant that slavery should still flourish in his
realm, Twfk Pasha wished to decree its to-
tai abolition in advance of stipulations of
our treaty with Egypt which gives them I'M
til 1884 and 1889 respectively, but before
taking such an important step he sent and
consulted the Sheik- ul- islam. Though
fully sharing the views of the temporal ruler
that slavery was an abomina6ion, the
eclesiatic objected to its wholesale abolition
on the ground that the emancipation of indi-
vidual slaves was one of the most meritori-
Gus of acts, and that the prophet had con-
eeded this right 10 his followers as a means
of atoning for their sins. In other words,
that slavery must be maintained, as slaves
are required as human conscience msney
to whitewash Mussulman baeksliders, and
the khediye has not the power to deprive
the faithful of a divine privilege. This
happened as recently as July last; TeBfx
Pasha had to submit, and 10 renounce for
the present his project of immediate enlan-
clpation.
Over three hundred dwelling houses

l see that "Tax Payer's" mind is
somewhat troubled at the thought Of a
canal up Casson street to the river, and
wishes your humble servants opinion
upon the subject. think his fears are
groundless, for most surely the COM
mittee would never entertain such an
idea one moment. Why, it would be
perfect destruction to the rear of Town,
for it would have to be not less than ten
feet below the level of Front street, in
order to do any good at all, and that for
only short time.
There are several subjects of much
moment that need ventilation, and l
hope "Tax Payer" will notice them and
spread them before the people, that
they may see what rotten administra-
ton we have. The laxness of the pre-
sent Council is unprecedented in the
history of our Town;--truly the era of
rings and cliques is upon US. am told
that the Tank on Fourth street holds
water about equal to any ordinary we'll.
If we are to have few more like it, it
is to be hoped that they will entirely
deplete the treasury, aud then the peo-
pie may have little respite, for this
thing is getting heart-rending. But I
suppose they will have to build the
plank road from the r. P. Depot to
Town first. If it is built on the same
principle that the streets in Town are
repaired, it will be of no use, not even
to the projectors themselves, only so
far as the influence of the contractor
extends.
Mr.. Editor, the people begin to feel
that they are being imposed upon, and
it will not be long before the mutter-
ings of discomfort which are now heard
at intervals will grow stronger as they
gather, until they burst with all their
united strength upon the heads of the
Council and force them into some &C.
toni hope that action will be to re-
sign, and then maybe we can save our
selves, If it is not already too late. We
should have an indignation meeting by
all means. Is there no way to get the
people together?
The cholera is making itself felt in
Europe, and If it only knew what hot
bed 1t could find here it would not lin
ger long, but would hasten to visit US,
and how many new made graves 1t
would leave none can tell if it would
take only those whose negligence caus-
es this condition of affairs, none would
weep.

fight and leave it in the hands of ssTa1
