Novelties In Perfumery Articles.

This rage for perfume has melted the
dealers in fancy goods to invent all sorts
of devices in order to dispose of their
odorous wares, and one cannot help won
aering in what form bit of painted
satin, with frill of lace and bow of
ribbon, will next appear. The most re-
cent novelty upon the counters is radi-
cal departure from the old forms, and is
extremely dainty. It consists of a clrcu-
lar fan, into which delicious sweet
scented grass is bound by tiny ribbons,
edged with fringe of satin ribbon to
match. The handle is simply bunch of
gras, crossed and recrossed by narrow
ribbons. Tho olive green of the grass
gives chance for various striking COM
binations of color, so that the lady can
wave the useful bit of beauty, sniff the
delicious odor, and at the same time have
q bit of color near her face that will en-
hance the beauty of her complexion. A
dainty trihe for baby is bunch of
sweet clover, flowers and oil, pressed be-
tween fine muslin edged with lace. 1t
gives most delicious scent to the tiny
wardrobe Something new is coming to
take the place of the favored rose jar. 1t
is a suggestion from the Orient, and will
be particularly welcome as the approach
of summer brings feeling Of languor to
everybody. This is a small perfume
fountain sd arranged that the water falls
from vase of crystal, or porcelain, into
a basin of rare design, from which it is
taken back into the vase, and continually
falls and rises again, a pretty thing to
look at aud a source of delicious odor.
There is room for invention in the use
of this fancy by decorating the basin
with flowers or rare herbs, or such other
material as the owner may select.-NeU

Aliens OF Many Races whoso Names are on
the Pension Rolls.

The granting of n. pension to u
Chinese, who was injured in service on
one of our mon-of-war, has been conf
mcnted on us singular. 1t is not singu-
lar Mt all. The pension act of 1861,
makes no exception of any alien of any
race who enters the military or naval
service of the Government in respect
to his right 10 n pension for disability
acquired therein. Perhrps An Sin is
the first Chinese pcnsioner under that
law, but his case is exactly like that Of
any other alien.
The rule of law is that when the
country accepts n mans service, it
does not count his nativity or race
against him if he earn n pension, and
the rule is right. If one of the Orleans
princes on McClcllan's staff had been
wounded in battle to the point of dis
ability. and had asked it, he would be
on the pension roll of the Republic.
On the rolls of the pension agency in
this city, besides All Sin. the Chinese,
there are Corcans, Africans, English
men, Scotchmcn, Austrians, Portu-
guesc, Welshmcn, lrishmcn, Swcdes
and Hungnrians, who entered the
service as aliens.

bition of an honorable discharge, such
an alien gets his final paper making
him citizen ut once.
This law does not apply, however, TO
Chinese or Coreans. whose naturallza-
tion is not permitted.
Many aliens who served this country
have returned to the places of their
nativity, or are living under other

STORY OF A FLAG.


A Union Soldier Carries the Stars and
Stripes Through n Southern Prison.
The only instance ON record where
Union soldier successfully concealed
and carried through Confederate
prison the stars aud stripes, has re-
Gently come to light, and the depart
mcnt are desirous of securing the iden-
teal flag and sworn statement of the
occurrence TO place in the museum at
Washington.
In this an old soldier, John G. Ben
fer. of this city, is called upon to play
a prominent part, MS he is the only liv-
Ing witness who knows of the incident
from personal knowledge, and his aifi-
lavit has been prepared 10 substantiate
the statement of Robert w. Burns, the
man who was taken prisoner and who
has preserved it up 10 the present time.
Mr.. Burns is now connected with the
Bradstreet Commercial Agency, with
headquarters at Kansas City.
Mr.. Benfer is one of the prominent
business men of this city, and n men,
ber Of tho city council. His sworn
statement regarding the incident is MS
follows:
~, John Y. Benfer of lawful age,
do upon oath depose and say that am
n resident of Seneca, Ncmeha County,
State of Kansas. That in July, 1868,
! was private soldier in Com
pany B, One Hundred and Twenty-third
Regiment o. V. J., and knew Robert
w. Burns, who was also comrade in
the same company and regimt mt; that
on June IS. 1868. in an engagement
near Winchester. Va, myself, with said
Burns, were both wounded and other
wisr injured and were taken prisoners
of war. At this time the said Burns
beca nc po ssessed of silk flag designed
rs a cavalry guidon. This flag wai
about three and one-half feet long and
swallow-tailed, with q blue field and
gold Stars, and think belonged to the
New York Lincoln Cavalry. Allan
further says: That while the said Rob
ert w. Burns was lying on the field O.
battle. and seeing the said flag in i'm
minent danger and about to fall into
the hands of the enemy, crawled 10 it
and. tearing II from its staff concealed
1t about his person by wrapping thu
same around his body. covering itwitl
his clothing.
THAT the said Burns was taken I
prisoner with the flag upon him, ant
did successfully secrete the same dur
ing his incarceration in the manner
above stated, and triumphantly
brought it forth. That the same fae
has since remained. and is now in hil
possession. The above statement il

A Theory That Most People Are subJeo
to Temporary Lunacy.

A Theory That AIost People arc Subject
to Temporary Lunacy.
There are many firm believers in the
theory that most people are crazy Mt
times, and facts seem to support their be-
lief The following. from Il source un-
known to the writer, will likelyremind
number of oar readers of some incl
dent in their experience, which at the
time of its occurrence seemed to them
most unaccOuntable:
"a wise man will step backward of
porch or into mud puddle, u great
philosopher will hunt for the specks
that are in his hand or on his forehead
n hunter will sometimes shoot himself
or his dog. A working girl had been
feeding great clothing knife for ten
years. One day she watched the knife
come down slowly upon her hand. Too
late she woke out of her stupor with
one hand gone. For few seconds her
mind had failed, and she sat by her
machine temporary lunatic and had
watched the knife approach her own
hand. A distinguished professor was
teaching near canal. Walking along
one evening in summer he walked as
deliberately into the canal as he
had hecn walking along the path
n second before. Hc was brought
to his senses by the water and mud
and the pbsurdity of the situation.
He had Oh n new suit of clothes and
new silk hat. but though the damage
was thus great he still laughs over the
adventure. Our mail collectors find in
the iron boxes along the streets all sorts
of papers and articles which have been
put in by some hand from whose mo-
tions the mind has become detached for
a second. A glove. a pair Of spcctacles,
deed, mortage. n theater ticket;
goes in. and on goes the person, hold
ing on to the regular letter which
should have been deposited. This is
called Observation-Disclosures. but is brief

same careful manner and set in the
holes dug for them. These holes were
roomy enough to hold their roots at full
cxtont, and thus prevent all cramping.
After setting, the ground was tramped
solid around each tree. As there
was not sufficient timo to trans

work was continued during the whole
summer All my ncighbors advised
against this late transplanting; do

"Where do scallops comc fromp" is
question that is often asked in the mar
kets. The little squares that house
keepers purchase at tish-stands have
nothing about them TO indicate their
origin, and few of the many people who
eat them know what they look like in
their natural state. They are she'll
fish about the same size ms the clam,
but with their shells fluted or scalloped.
Each fold in the shell corresponds to n
rib. They do not lie in bed like oys-
tiers and CLANS, but move about in the
water. They are taken ashore by tho
fishermen to shantics ON tho beach,
where they are opened by women and
children. The "eye" is the only part
suitable for food. These are packed
for shipment, and the other portions are
used for fertilizing. The shells are
stacked up IN great piles on the beach,
and are put to no use except as 'sets"
to catch the spawn in oystcr-beds.
The best scallops that reach this city
come from the bays along the north
shore of Long Island. Peconic Bay is
favorite fishing ground, and dozen
boats are busy With tho industry there
nearly every day from November
until May. From twenty TO one hun
dred bushels day aro caught. At New
Suffolk are several packing-nouse'
where tho bivalves arc opened and
prepared for market. From 10000 tc
$4,000 gallons of scallops are shipped
from New Suffolk evory season. They
are carried in small fishing smacks ant
delivered to the wholesale dealers at tho

They are finally sold by the retailers I,
