ANCIENT PERFUMES.


How she People Of Rome Scented Their
Bodies and Clothing
The amount Of perfume used IN
the pzlny days OF Rome WAS enor-
mcns. The ancient patrieisns were
most prodigal IN this respect The
perfuners were called Unguenfarii,
as they principally compounded nm
guents, and must hare done an enor-
NOUS business. In Rome they
eongregated IN quarter
called the "Eieus, Thurarleus. z
The most celebrated per-
fumer in the time Of Martial
was a certain individual named
cosnus, whorn Martial frequently
mentions. Az Capua there was such
q number Of perfumers that the
principal street Of the city, named
Seplesia, vas almost entirely oc-
cupied by them. For the most parT
these tradesmen were Greek, and, az
at Athens, their shops (taberna)
we're the rendezvous Of the idlers Of
those days.
The perfurned oils and ointmenis
were made In great variety The
basis Of the oils was generally the
oil Of the Ben and that Of the un-
guents was bleaehed and partly
purified tallow. They were used not
only for the hair, but to anoint all
parts of the body, especially after
the bath, which was quite a compi-
Gated process. ltwas also customary
at banouets to honor the guests By
pouring costly perfurned oils over
their feet. Some Of these were
simple oils, such as rhodium, made
from roses; melinum, made from
ounces; metopium, from bitter al
monds; narcissimun, from the mar
cissus.
Perhaps the most fashionable oil
after the oleum guginum was that
called crocinurn, made from saffron
(crocus), which communicated both
fine color and odor to the person.
Heliogabalus never bathed without
it. Butter is noticed by Pliny as
used by the negro and lower classes
Of Arabs for amounting their bodies.
The natives of India prefer strong
perfumes for this purpose, and use
oil OF santal and oil Of patchouli.
Savages also grease their bodies,
but probably with the idea Of being
enabled to escape more easily from
the grip of an enemy.
The Romans were not acquainted
with the use Of regular soap, but
they employed an alkal, with which
the greasy dirt was dissolved out Of
their clothes. This alkah, called
nitrum, is referred 70 by Pliny; but
the cheapest solvent was urine,
which was mostly used. The
clothes we're put in this, mixed
with water, and then stamped upon
with the feet. This process
was performed by the old people,
while boys lifted the clothes out Of
the tubs. The white garments, af-
ter being washed, were subjected TO
the yapor Of sulphur-being
stretched on frame and the sui
phur burned beneath. Poor people
in Rome cleansed their bodies with
meal Of lupins, called lomentum,
which, with common meal, is still
used in some places for that pur-
nose.

Important Conferences.

WASHINGTON, March 30. The news OF
the receipt of Lord Salisbury's reply to
Resident Harrison's note of the 22d
inst, brought Hon. John w. Foster and
Senator Sherman to the White House
Monday morning at an unusually early
hour. They remained in conference
with the president for half an hour.
When they left their faces expressed in
ward satisfaction with the condition Of
things which occupied their minds.
The reply OF Lord Salisbury is said in
high official cilcies, while not conceding
in express terms what the United States
has contended for in the recent CORE
spondence, is SO conciliatory in tone and
manner as to open the way for an ami
cable settlement of the present con-
troversy.
In previous correspondence, Lord
Salisbury declined to admit the subject
of damages to the terms of the treaty at
all; now he proposes to refer the ques-
ton Of damages to the arbitrators.
Upon this point, his lordship's sugges-
tion contains an impracticable feature
that of attempting to measure damages
to Canadian sealers, which We're pre-
vented by the United States from en-
gaging in their occupation. This is
what the late Charles Sumner described
as consequential damages"
1t would be impossible, in the opinion
of the officials interested, to make any
estimate of damages for what might
have been;" actual damages are all that
can be assessed. But, as stated, the
tone of the reply encourages the officials
to believe satisfactory arrangement
can be made with England for the pro-
lection of the seals pending the decision
Of the points in dispute by arbitration.
Besides General Foster and Senator
Sherman, Secretary Blaine, Senator
Frye, member of the senate committee
on foreign relations, and Representative
Blount were in conference with the
president. They had under considera-
ton the terms Of the reply to the propo-
sition of Lord Salisbury respecting the
question Of damages before the arbi-
traitors as affecting the renewal of the
modus yivendi.
