Perfumery. The extensive flower farms in the neighborhood of Nice, Grasse, Montpelier and Cannes, in France, at Adrianople, (Turkey in Europe,) at Broussa and Uslak, (Turkey in Asia,) and at Mitcham, in England, in a measure, indicate the commercial importance of that branch of chemistry called perfumery. British India and Europe consume annually, at the very lowest estimate, 150,000 gallons of perfumed spirits un der various titles, such as eau de cologne, essence of lavender, esprit de rose, Ac, The art of perfumery does not, however, confine itself to the production of scents for the handkerchief and bath, but ex tends to imparting odor to odorous bodies, such as soap, oil, starch and grease, which are consumed at the toilette of fashion. Some idea of the importance of this art to commerce may be formed when we state that one of the large perfumers of Grasse and l’aris, employ annually 80,000 pounds of orange flow ers, 60,000 pounds of cassia flowers 51,000 pounds of rose leaves, 32,000 pounds of jasmine blossoms, 22,000 pounds of violets, 20,000 pounds of tuberose, 16,000 pounds of lilac, besides ro-emary, mint, lemon, citron, thyme, and other odorous plants in like propor tion. The quantity of odoriferous sub stances used in this way is far beyond the conception of those even used to abstract statistics, giving rise to an amount of industry truly gratifying. Barbkr Polks. —Thkir Origin.— The origin of the barber's |>ole is to be traced to the period when the barbers Were also surgeons and practiced phle botomy. To assist this operation, it be ing necessary for the patient to grasp a staff, a stick or a polo was always kept by the barber-surgeon, together with a ffllet or bandaging be used for tying the patient's arm. When the pole was not Hi use, the tape was tied to it, that they might be both together when wanted. On a person coming in to he bled, the t*]>e was disengaged from the polo and bound round the arm, and the pole was put into the person’s hand. After it was done with, the tape was again tied on the pole, and, in this state, pole and t*|«e were often hung at llio door for a sign or notice to passengers that they might there be bled. At length, instead of hanging out the ideniiea! pole used in the operation, a pole was painted with stripes round it in imitation <>f the real Jmilc all I its bandaging* and thus came the sign. Hiawatha. —Longfellow is doubtless laughing in his sleeve at the severe criticisms and parodies that have ap •reared upon his late |Hiein. They have rendered the work famous, and poured thousands into the pocket of the author. A New York*p'p-r says; “When Hiawatha, in Tioknor & Fields’ catalogue, was reac.be 1 at the Publisher's .Association Trade Sales, in New York, last week, 2,000 copies were sold within ten minutes, at 60 and G2\ cents a volume.

At times it attacked my eyes, and made me almost blind, besides the unendurable pain; at others it settled in the scalp of my head, und has kept me partly bald all my days: sometimes it came out in my face, and kept it for months a raiv sore. ‘‘About nme weeks ago I commenced taking your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely free from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skin is fair, and my hair lias commenced a healthy growfh; all of which makes me feel already u new person. _ “ Hoping this statement may be the means of conveying information that shall do good to oth ers, J am, with every sentiment of gratitude, Yours, Ac., MARIA RICKER.” 44 1 have known the above named Maria Ricker from her childhood, and her statement is strictly true. ANDREW J. ME,SERVE, Overseer of the Portsmouth Mamif ’g. Cos.” Cant. Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from Boston, 2<>th April, 1854. “ Your Pills have cured me from a billions at tack. which arose from derangement of the Liver, which had become very serious. I had failed of any relief by my Physician, and from every rem edy 1 could try, but. a few doses of your Pills have completely restored me to health. I have given them to my children for worms, with the best effects. They were promptly cured. I re commended them to a friend for costiveness, which bad troubled him for months; he told me in u few’ days they had cured him. You make the byst, medicine in the world, and I am free to Read tins from the distinguished Solicitor of the Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have piade him well known, not on Ivin this, but the neighboring States. u New Orleans, 6th April, 1854. “ Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you that myself and family have been very much ben efited by your medicines. My wife was cured two years since, of a severe and dangerous cough, by your Cherry Pectoral, and since then has en joyed perfect health. My children have several times been cured from attacks of tho Influenza and Croup by it. It. is an invaluable remedy for these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en tirely cured me from a dyspepsia and costive ness which lias grown upon me for some years,—in deed this cure is much more important from the fact that 1 had failed to get relief from the best Physicians which this section of tho country af fords, and from any of tho numerous remedies I had taken. “ You seem to us. Doctor, like n providential blessing to our family, and you may well suppose wc are not unmindful of it. Yours respectfully, LEAVITT TIIAXTER 44 Senate Chamber, Oh io, April hth 1851. 44 Dr. J. <’. Aykh--Honored Sir: I have made a thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by your agent, and have been cured by them of the dreadful rheumatism under which lie found me suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis ease. I feel in better health now than for some years before, which I attribute entirely to the ef fects ol*your Cathartic Pills. Yours with great respect, LUCIUS B.

YOU DESERVE CREDIT FOR YOUR nsscscß'wjEtjß'sr*' PROFESSOR WOOD’S HAIR RESTORA TIVE, is, no doubt, the most wonderful dis covery of this age of progress, for it will restore, permanently, gray hair to its original color, cover the’head of the bald with a most luxuriaut growth, remove at once all dandruff aud itching, cure all scrofula and other cutaneous eruptions, such as scald head, etc. It will cure,as if by magic, ner vous or periodical headache ; make the hair soft, glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfect ly, and the hair from failing, to extreme old age. We could give the testimony of more than one hundred thousand to the truth of every word we have written. See circular and the following : The following is from a distinguished member of the medical profession : St. Paul } January Ist, 1855. Professor 0. J. Wood— Dear Sir: Unsolicited? I send you this certificate. After being nearly bald for a long time, and having tried all the hair restoratives extant, and having no faith in any, I* was induced on hearing of yours, to give It a trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber, and had mv head rubbed with a good stiff brush, and the Restorative then applied, and well rubb ed in, till the scalp was a glow. T 1 I repeated every morning, and in three week- The young hair appeared, ana grew rapidly from ' last tiR the present time, and is uow tlnck. black strong—soft and pleas:* nl to the touch- whereas, before, it was harsh and wiry, whut, little there was of it, and that little was disappearing very rapidly. 1 still use your Restorative about twice a week, and shall soon have a good and perfect crop ot hair. Now, if I had read of these things —and who has not?—but have not seen hitherto any case where any person’s hair was really ben efited by any of the nair tonics, etc., of the day; and it really gives me pleasure to record the re sult of my experience. I have recommended, your preparation to others, and it already has a large anu general sale throughout the Territory*. The people here know its effects, and have confi dence in it. The supply you sent us, as whole sale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted, and daily inquiries are made for it. You deservo credit for your discovery; and I, for one, return von my thanks for the benefit it has done me, for 1 certainly hud despaired long ago cf ever effect ing any such result. \ ours, hastily, J.

Professor Wood—Dear Sir: Having made a trial of your Hair Restorative, it gives me pleas ure to say, that its effect has been excellent m re moving inhumation, dandruff, and a constant ten dency to itching, with which I have been trou bled from my childhood; and has also restored my hair, which was becoming gray, to its origi nal color. I have used no other article, with anything like the same pleasure or profit. Yours, truly, J. K. BRAGG. State of ItUnois, Carlisle, June 27, 1653. 1 have used Professor 0. J. Wood's Hair Res torative, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as I thought, permanent ly gray, but by the use of the Rstorative, it has resumed its original color, and, I have no doubt„ permanently so. SIDNEY BKEESE, Ex Senator United States. 114 Market fit., St. Louis, March 5, 1855. Dear Sir : I am doing an extensive travel in* the West and South-western States, as general agent for Adam’s American Liniment, and would be glad if yon would favor me with a consignment of Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, as I feel assured that I can introduce it in many places where it is not known, as my head is a living testifhonv of its valuable property, in restoring the hair to its natural color. 1 am forty years old, and my hair was almost white; but after using three half pint bottles, my hair is as beau tiful auburn as it was at sixteen, and much im proved g in appearance, and I would not be without a bottle on hand for.the price often. I should be very glad to attend to auv matter connected with the Hairßestorative. 1 have been for fifteen years engaged in the same business, and will be glad to hear from you soon.
