The City of Perfume.

The Tunisian Arabs have a passion for flowers, and as seen as their spring commences, even the poorest and ragged est may be seen with a delicately scented blossom stuck above his ear, the stalk resting amid the folds of his turban and the flower projecting forward over his dark cheek. I have been told by those who have thirty years’ knowledge of these people, that they will almost go without bread to buy flowers. And there is something in the sight of a gaunt, toil-worn Arab, whose sole garments may consist of a piece of coarse%wSking and a ragged old turban, with a bunch of delicate spring blossonjs drooping their cool freshness against his sparthy cheek, which stirs a strange mingling of sympathy and pity and admiration. The perfumes distilled at Tunis have been famous from time immemorial, and I really : think the Tunisians are right when they declare that their roses are sweeter than all others. There is one very large, rather pale rose-in particular, from which the famous attar is extracted, which exhales an odor as powerful and yet so delicate that it scarcely seems a figure of speech to speak of “odors of Paradise;” and one can understand that the Mohammedan’s heaven would hardly be complete without it. But at Tunis it is hot only the rose which is made to yield up its sweet breath, to be afterward imprisoned in cunning little caskets and sparkling crystal flasks enriched w/th gilding, suggesting to the wandering fancy of the Arabian Nights’haunted traveler (and who is there who is not haunted by that wonderful book from the moment he finds himself among Oriental iscenes?) the imprisoned spirit of some fairy, in eternal subjection to the powerful genii man. The odors of the violet, the jasmine, the orange flower, and many others are extracted with equal skill, and in the bazaars mingle their scents with the perfume of sandal wood and other sweet-smelling woods whose names I do not know, and with that of the curious, most odoriferous dark substance which the natives call amber. If you go to buy perfumes the vender will probably offer you a little ivory box (Arabian Nights again!) or porcelain vase containing a scented unguent for the hair, or maybe a string of beads to hang around your neck, apparently thinking it of small consequence in what way you perfume your person so that the desired odor is conveyed to the senses. In Arab households incense and sandal wood are frequently burned on charcoal braziers. The Arabian women of the higher class are extravagantly fond of highly scented earrings, bracelets, etc., and a lady told me that on being introduced into the apartment of a newly married wife she saw suspended on the wall a magnificent kind of ilecklace, almost as large as the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, formed of scented woods and amber, enriched with plates and beads of pure gold, finely worked. This ornament perfumed the whole apartment, and my friend was informed that in well-to-do households it was always to be found in the chamber of the newest wife. —All the Year Bound.

Cures for Snake Bites.

Very few physicians know liow £o successfully treat snake bite. I have ha 4 hundreds of cases come under my observation, and have seen many wonderful cures. In countries where the venomous rattlesnake abounds and bites are frequent, incision as a treatment is almost unheard of. The most common antidote used is whisky in large quantities, which acts to a good effect where the patient is not addicted to drink, but should he be partly saturated with alcohol, then it is of no avail. A cure not generally known, and which acts almost by magic, is to take a live chicken and ent it open and place it over the wound. In two or three minutes the fowl becomes thoroughly saturated with the poison, and assumes a dark-green color. Then place a fresh one on the punctured parts, and still a third one, which is usually sufficient in ordinary cases. A never-failing remedy that is used to a great extent in Florida is a combination of lion root and rattlesnake violet. The former is made into a tea, and a salve is made of the violet, Before using this, however, a poultice made of salt and indigo is applied to the wound to draw out the poisonous matter. * A madstone is also said to act with the same effect on a snake bite that it does on that of a mad dog. I purchased one of these stones some time ago, but have never had occasion to use it, and am awaiting anxiously to test its efficacy on either dog or reptile poisoning. Another remedy easily applied and always at hand is to dig a hole in the earth and bury the injured part in it. There is something peculiar in connection with a snake bite, and I want to tell you of it. If a man should be bitten on the arm, say to-day, just due year from now, within a day or two of the anniversary of the occurrence, the arm will begin to swell, and yellow spots resembling those of a snake appear, and this will recur each succeeding year. —Pittsburgh Gazette.

Dissemination of News in 1844.

* As late as 1844 there was but one line of telegraph in the world, that from Washington City to Baltimore, and one of the first messages transmitted was the nominations of the National Democratic Convention which met in the latter city on the 27th of May, 1844; After selecting James K. Polk, of Tennessee, as the candidate for President, Silas Wright, of New York, was nominated for Vice President. A telegraphic dispatch was sent to Mr. Wright at Washington City, and in a short time an answer was received declining, and it was regarded as the world’s wonder. This made the telegraph - a success. It is true that in Baltimore at the time many doubted after the reception of the telegram whether it was in truth genuine. They could not believe in the power of electricity to perform so great a wonder. One old gentleman from New York, who had lived a neighbor to Silas Wright, said he knew it to be a forgery, for he had Been the signature of Silas Wright a hundred times, and had seen him write it, and “the thing id no more like

Wright’s handwrite than it is like my own.” But still, with this evidence against its being genuine,,the telegram was regarded as genuine, and- George M. Dallas, of Pennsylvania, was nominated in place of Wright, and “Polk and Dallas” were elected.—Cincinnati Enquirer. '

Oatmeal Nine Days Old.

I find that oatmeatporridge is greatly improved by being made some days before it is required, then stored in a closed jar, brought forth and heated for use. The change effected, is just that which, theoretically may be expected—namely, a softening of the fibrous material and a sweetening due to the formation of sugar. This sweetening I observed many years ago in some gruel that was partly eaten one night and left standing until next morning, when I thought it tasted sweeter, but, to be assured of this, I had it warmed again two nights, afterward, so that it might be tasted under the same conditions of temperature, palate, Stc., as at first. The sweetness was still more distinct, but the experiment was carried no further. I have lately learned that my ensilage notion is not absolutely new. A friend who read my Cantor lectures tells me that he has long been accustomed to have seven dishes of porridge in his larder, corresponding to the days of the week, so that next Monday’s breakfast was cooked the Monday before, and so on, each being warmed again on the day fixed for its final execution, and each being thus seven days old. He finds the result more digestible than newly made porridge. The classical nine days’ old pease-pudding is a similar anticipation, and I find, rather curiously, that nine days is about the limit to which it may be practically kept before mildew—moldiness—is sufficiently established to spoil the pudMathew Williams, in Popular Science Monthly.

A Boston Idea.

Visitors to the Public Garden, Boston, may have noticed a number of novel and tasteful devices in the arrangement of the shrubbery about the Washington Monument. A gentleman from Malaga, who was a Spanish Commissioner at the recent foreign exhibition, furnished these designs. One of these devices is the crux ansata, a looped cross emblematic of eternal life. This was a familiar Egyptian symbol. Another striking device is the coat-of-arms of Alhamar, a word meaning “Only God is all-powerful.” This is from the walls of the Alhambra. The coat-of-arms of St. Peter is also displayed here. The sword of the famous Moorish hero Boabdil is represented in the shrubbery, and the little hatchet with which the youthful Washington executed his famous assault upon the cherry tree. A map of North and South America is also depicted in this plot about the equestrian statue, and the representation of Cuba suggests the warning counsels of Washington in the farewell address against “the insidious wiles of foreign influence.” Altogether these designs are in excellent taste, and furnish an agreeable variety to the stereotyped forms of garden decoration. They suggest that a useful stimulus may be given to biographical and historical study by thus bringing its emblems before the eyes.

What Actors Should Eat.

Shoemakers and butchers, says a writer in a French dramatic review, can eat what they please. Not so actors, who must vary their food to suit the parts they play. In the first place, they must not eat artichokes, for artichokes make people sputter in talking. When a singer orders rabbits at a restaurant he must ask to see the head, to make sure that he is not being imposed upon. The cat is the tenor’s worst enemy. Singers must also eschew sweets. Bassos and heavy villians generally must eat game, especially the dark moat, and drink heavy wines. Wild boar is good, but not the tame variety. The man who plays the hero should feed upon raw roast beef, washed down with old port wine. The ingenues should avoid high seasoning and rich sauces. . Chicken and spinach, with milk as a beverage; but let them beware of the calf's head. Of course, the young man who takes the lover’s part should fly from beefsteak and onions as from a pestilence. Those who play such diaphanous parts as the commander in “Don Juan” and the elder Mr. Hamlet should not be allowed to dine at all.

The Sweet Girl Graduate.

Somnolent lies the pickle in its briny bath, and in dreamy idleness the wad of chewing-gum lies on the window-silL Athwart the glinting sunbeams in their lonely search the shivered corset-steel intrudes its sinuous length, while in far off delly dells of the bosky woodland cops the curl paper flutters in sad-eyed idleness, for the bangs it never piore will clasp. A broken garter here, an undarned stocking there, a few bent and scattered hairpins—they are little things, bnt oh! how mutely yet how pathetically they tell the hungry heart that the sweet girl graduate has fled and is now engaged in catching beaux and freckles. —Pittsburgh Chronicle.

CONQUERED BY LOVE; OR A WOMAN'S PRIDE.

By Fannie Deeping.

CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION. Nestled among the Berkshire hills, near Atlantic's stormy main, not many years ago, was a tiny but flourishing Tillage. Its inhabitants were of ’ the genus homo sort of people who delighted in cleanliness and exhibited a marked preference for white paint, and in consequence from a distance the village resembled a huge snowdrift surrounded by rifts of green. On tho outskirts of this village, in an isolated nook, gloomy and desolate, stood a dilapidated inn of ancient build and architecture, its tall chimneys towering above the hill tops, as though striving to draw attention from the many American travelers passing that way. It had the reputation of being wholly satisfactory in hospitality, good fare, and cleanliness, and therefore was patronlied greatly. This inn, called “Travelers' Retreat," was kept hy one Herr Minkler and his wife, generous people, who had but very little knowledge of the English language; however, a sufficient supply, as will be seen, for ordinary purposes. The day upon which our story opens was very fine. The lawn in front of the inn had been recently mown, the trees trimmed, the spacious walk swept thoroughly, and its general appearance that day went far toward verifying its far renowned reputation. At about 3 o’clock p. m. the old lumbering stage was heard rattling up the graded road, and all was eager expectancy at the Travelers’ Retreat. Herr Minkler entirely appropriated one window, being a square-shoul-dered, corpulent, broad-faced man, with red whiskers, small gray eyes, and a huge nose. He was no beauty, as you may imagine. But plain faces oft-times are beautified by a brilliantly cultivated mind and an unsullied character. But Herr Minkler was an exception, being avaricious, cunning, and a willing partner in any petty crime which was likely to consist of booty. His wife and himself were well mated, for she was greedy to a fault, and although anxious to appear perfect in the eyes of the public, was very careful, if possible, to assist all in her power in any money-making escapade. Dame Minkler was standing at the only other window in the ber-room, her short, fleshy form clearly outlined against the panes, while her nose, flattened against one of them, appeared to its fullest capacity. Her looks belied her character. She was clever and good-natured looking enough. The stage rattled up to the gate. The door was opened, and a lady and gentleman ali-’hted. “Is this a tavern?” asked the younger of the two, a line-featured young man, raising his hat. “Yes, sir. Can we do anytlng for you, gemmen?” “Have you any spare rooms that we might hire for a few days?” “Zah, mine yung friend, we hav’ got dat same! Me an’ Katrina, we do all ftve can possible to mak’ de beeples comfterble.” "Ah! Then you are the landlord, I judge?” “Daryou be right, sure! but comes in; I vill show you de ’comodations.” “We will take your word for it, my good sir, aB everything exteriorly wears so neat.an aspect.” So saying, he settled with the hackman, <Snd assisted his mother along the walk in--40 the—hall. They—were shown their suite of rooms, consisting of a small parlor, tastefully furnished, and two bed chambers communicating. They were well pleased, and the refreshing repast which followed, was very appetizing, and relished by both mother and son. Mrs. Prescott was the lady's name. She was traveling for her health; had been all over Europe, accompanied by her son, and was soon to embark for home. Her husband was a great speculator, add had been very sucoesstul thus far in his stocks. He very seldom, if ever, left home, preferring the solitude and quiet of his own study in New York to the fatigues of travel. He was, naturally, of a quiet disposition, acquiescing in all of his wife's wishes, and doting on his son, their only child. Mrs. Prescott was refined and lady-like, and very proud of her stainless ancestry', and at an early age in life strove to Inculcate in her son’s mind the importance of her teachings. She was tall and slight, with a well-bred air about every movement, small, well-shaped hands and feet, and a gentle, well-modulated voice. She wore a traveling dress of gray barege, with dainty lace fluting at neck and wrists. Her eyes were as dark and changeable as her son's; she called him Ralph. They had sought this retreat for quiet and rest for a few days, ere starting for home. “I want to get a good taste of the rural," she had said to Ralph, “ere we go back to the close, dusty city again.” She led him wheresoever she listed, for her wish was his law. A more dutiful son never existed than Ralph Prescott, his parents declared. "Well, mother," exclaimed Ralph, “I believe I will take a stroll around the premises, with your permission, while you are getting acquainted •with your new domicile. So, au revoir!" and he playfully kissed his finger-tips to her and left the'room. CHAPTER 11. » ALICE. As Ralph Prescott stepped into the hall he heard a stifled sob, mingled with the sound of a scrubbing-brush above him, and beheld a little thin, ragged figure at the top of the staircase busily soouring and washing the steps. She was barefooted, and it amused him not a little, her evident mortification, as she strove never so hard to cover them with the poor apology for a dress which she wore, and which barely fell to her knees. She stopped scrubbing to answer the questions with which he was plying her, while her color cane and went in childish embarrassment. “Well, my little maid, how do you do?" he asked, as an excuse for addressing her, and gratifying the curiosity he felt upon observing her In tears. “Quite well, I thank you, sir,” she answered, with a charming little courtesy. “What is your name, may I ask?" "Mr name, sir, is Alice." “That la a very sweet name, to my notion. But, Alice what else?.What is your family name, Alice?" "I don’t know; I never heard, sir!” she replied. “And are you not our landlord’s own child?” “Sir,” she said, as she drew her little figure erect, and assumed an air of hauteur amusing in one so young, "I do not know what right you have to ask me so many questions. I had rather not answer a perfect stranger.” And ere he could recover from his astonishment at such a manifestation of juvenile spirit, she had resumed her work again. He could not but respect the “little sprite,” as he termed her to himself. "But, by George, she has spunk,” he mentally concluded. “I don’t believe she is any connection of that uncouth old German and his frau. I am sorry that I offended the little Liliputian princess, for I should like to befriend her if she would allow me. But. what pride! Almost equal to my own mother’s." He had sauntered toward the stables, and seeing the hostler at no great distance, his soliloquy turned into another channel. He took in great draughts of the exhilarating air, then reluctantly retraced his steps. The dews of twilight were falling, the birds calling their young ones home, and the sweet evening bells in the little white village were chiming the hour for prayer. What a hallowed, restful feeling came to the.young man as the bells smote his ears, and seemed to strike a chord of harmony somewhere in his heart. His had been an unselfish, stainless life, so far; happy, carefree. No toil had hardened his hands or caused perspiration to dampen his brow. In short, his life had been one cloudless summer day. As he re-entered the hall he heard loud, angry tones proceeding from the kitchen, accompanied by a child s pleading voice. The voice, no doubt, was that of Alice, and she was being severely reprimanded for some trivial fanlt by Dame Minkler. Ere he had rained the parlor door, with a little scream, Alice ran by him, and was in the act of flying np the stairs, when he arrested her flight by saying: "My poor Alice, what is the matter? Confide in me, my poor child; I will be your friend.” ‘Oh, sir, I dare not ray a word against her, but she is not my mother! They say that a mother loves her child; bat she does not even Uke me, or she would not treat me so. Oh. sir 1 am so miserable!" "What have you been Jdoiflg to cause her to misuse you, child?" “ "Oh, IJtnow I did wrong, but I cannot help it, sir. I have an old spelling-book, which a kind lady gave me, and 1 do love to stndy so much that sometimes, when I get my work done, I go away by myself and try to pronounce some of the long, bard words by first spelling them. She found me to-day np In my room and threatened to burn my book, and tried to make me give it np to ber. Oh, s! fe should I have done so? It is all the book I ha“. The rest have all been horned from me. Do yon think that I did WTong, sir?" “No, my little girl; I think that yon should be allowed to cultivate your mind, especially when yon are so eager to learn. How old are yon?”

, "Twelve years old, sir. But I must go now, dr I shall be punished again.* "Wait a moment. What is the matter with your arm? Why have yon that bandage around it?" Alice flashed painfully as she said: 1 "Oh. that is only where she threw the poker at me because I was sitting thinking, after you left me to-day, and had not quite finished my work, But, oh. sir, I was so tired.” "My poor child! To' be living In (tread of punishment if sfie bnt rests a moment! What brutes they must be, to be sure." _The next morning, bright and early, Mrs. Prescott arose and wandered out into the grounds, where she was soon joined by her son. “Oh, mother, I have a proposition to make to you; please grant it?” The above are the opening chapters of an interesting serial tale to be commenced in No. 3§,of the Chicago Ledger.

The seizure was unexpected and terrible. The Btomich and other organs seemed to sympathize with it, and to have lost all power of action. For a long time my life was despaired of. but at length I recovered sp far as to be able to ride out. By the advice of my physician I visited Poland Springs (vt.), hoping to benefit from the waters. But they .lid me no good. Neither were the best physicians of Lowell and Boston, whom I consulted, able to afford me more than transient relief. I gained no strength, and my case appeared almost hopeless. In the fall a friend advised me to try KKN.N EBY’S FAVGRITK KEHEI)Y, and although opposed to patent medicines I made the trial.
