THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1856.
Hon. J. E. Ward of Savannah.
The compliment paid to this gentleman, by
the Democratic National Convention, now in
session, at Cincinnati, in making bim its chief
presiding officer, is a source of great gratifica
tion, we may confidently, we think, assert, to
the whole people of Georgia. 1 hat it is so to
his political and personal friends, it is hardly
necessary for us to assert. We feel, too, that
the choice of a gentleman from Georgia to pre.
side over the deliberations of a Convention so
imposing in its character ,— whether it bo viewed
as a body iu which talent and patriotism of the
highest order are to be found, or as a highly
respectable body, representing a great political |
party ; is a compliment to the “ Empire State |
of South,” her appreciation of which she will, |
in November next, demonstrate at the polls, i
Mr. Ward, wo feel confident, will make a
popular aud able presiding officer. In this
respect, the choice of the Convention has been
a fortunate one. As the presiding officer of
one branch of the Legislature of our State, he
displayed all the qualifications required for the !
L dispatch of business, and the maintenance of
■ order ; aud, while courteous in demeanor, he,
■ also displayed a firmness of purpose, anil a'
f promptness iu deciding questions ot order, that
w will doubtless again be displac ed at Cincinnati.
[ There may be in the Convention gentlemen
of greater experience, bnt there are few
I indeed who would honor the station occupied ,
by Mr. Ward, more than himself.

Our Telegraphic Dispatches.
We are indebted, and so are onr readers, to
| the“AUGUSTA, ATLANTA ANDNASII
| VILLE TELEGRAPH LINE,” for the
proceedings of the Cincinnati Convention,
which, for the past two days, appeared in
our columns, and which also appears to
day.
This line of Telegraph is now under the man
agement of one of the first telegraphic operators
in the United States ; aud he is making it em
phatically a lino of incalculable value to the
press and people of this and’the adjacent States.
But a short time ago, we were indebted here to
the Augusta Press, mainly, for all items of
telegraphic news. Now we are f.ee from that
state of bondage, and can furnish our readers
in upper and middle Georgia, with the news,
at least twelve hours in advance of the Augusta
press. We have too another ad .antage in
this that the line to which we refer, can be
relied on in every respect; and this is no unim
portant, but a very important consideration with
all who have anything to do with telegraphic
operations. But as we design to refer to this
Telegraph Line at a future time, we refrain
from saying more at present.

Atlanta Medical College.
We had the pleasure on Wednesday last, to
pay a Hying visitjo Atlanta, and while there
to listen to a lecture by Dr. A. Means, and one
by Dr. 11. W. Brown, delivered to the Medical
Class of the Atlanta College. Both these gen
tlemen are well skilled in the respective de
partments which they occupy in the Institution
and are highly gifted in those faculties which
constitute a good and successful leturer. This
Institution has just entered upon the second
year of its existence, and with the prestige of
former success, bids fair to make rapid strides
in its onward march to usefulness and fame.—
The number of students now reaches nearly one
hundred and is daily increasing. It is confi
dently expected, that the class during the pres
ent term, will reach one hundred and twenty
five or thirty. This rapid growth is unprece
dented in the history of Medical Inssitutious iu
the South, and it should be the object of desire
with every true Southerner, that it should goon
“prospering and to prosper.” It is the only
Institution iu the State which gives a summer
course of lectures, aud affords facilities to the
young Esculapiuns which heretofore they could
only enjoy by crossing Mason & Dixon's line.
The Faculty is an able one, composed of prac
tical men, who are from experience, familiar
with diseases peculiar to our climate, and with
the most successful mode of treating them.—

Remedy for Indigestion.—A friend nas
handed to us for publication, the annexed rem
edy for indigestion, a complaint which is so
prevalent in this country. It was communica
ted to him by a gentleman in Great Britain,
who says in his letter on the subject .-
“Having suffered much from indigestion, 1
send you the remedy to relieve you. It arises
by rejecting too large a portion of the phos
phates of lime and maguesiaeoutained in the bran
iu our bread: being quite sure that our all
wise Creator, in giving us wheat for our : food
I to support our frames, placed in it every neces
sary constituent for the health of man. When
■ therefore, you derive benefit from it, please to
i make it known to our brethren iu America.
Boil hah a pint of white bread wheat three
hours, in a quart of water, or a little more if
necessary. Drink half a pint of the liquid
twice or thrice in a week, and the effect will
soon b§ perceived

Still Later from Kansas.
The s.teamer Star of the West arrived yes
terday from the Missouri, bringing us a num
ber of papers and extras fro a offices iu that
region, referring mainly to events of recent oc
currence in Lawrence aid thereabouts. We
have also seen Judge Fain, who acted as U. 8
Deputy Marshal and as Deputy Sheriff, in
Lawrence, and who has given us some addi
tional items of news. Tho Judge is on his way
to Georgia, for his family, intending to return
immediately to Kansas, to take up his perman
ent residence in Lecompton.
According to the reports before us. early on
Wednesday morning, the U. 8. Marshal, with
the men who had obeyed his proclamation call
ing for aid to assist in the execution ot certain
writs in his hands, took possession of the
Mound in front of Lawrence. They numbered
from four hundred to five hundred men.
Between ten and eleven o’clock the Marshal
sent his Deputy, John Fain, into the town with
with a posse of eight men to execute ths writs.
They made four arrests, returned and delivered
the prisoners to the Marshall and he dismissed
his force. The Lawrence people were disposed
to exult over this result, declaring that they
did not intend to resist his authority, although
Reeder had sent them the example of contem
ning it and that of the U. S. Judge of the Le
compton District. But when Marshal Donald"
son had performed his duty, Sheriff Jones, who
had recovered from the wound received in Hie
attempt to assasinate him in Lawrence, ap
peared on the scene, and summoned the same
men to aid him in a like service. He took
about twenty men with him, and rode into Law
rence. He stopped in front of the Free State
Hotel—fitted up, as is well known, as a forti
fication—and, calling for Gen. Pomeroy, de
mand from him all the Sharpe's rifles and pie
ces of artillery about the fort or hotel, giving
him five minutes to deaide whether lie would
surrender them or not, saying that he desired
to effect this purpose peaceably and quietly.—
Pomeroy having consulted with others, agreed
to deliver up the arms, and fifteen minutes furth
er time was allowed to attack them in the
Col. Eldridge, who keeps the hotel, was then
requested by Sheriff Jones to move his furni
ture from the building, giving him two hours
to do it in. But this he refused to do, and the
posse entered and removed the most of the fur
niture into the street. The artillery was then
placed in front of the hotel, and fired upon it
until the walls began to fall, when fire was put
to it and it was left in ruins.
The printing materials of the Herald of Free
dom office, and of the Kansas Free State office,
were then taken and thrown into the river. It
was the express order of Sheriff J ones, that no
private property should be injured, and partic
ularly that Gov. Robinson’s house should not
be touched, but it became impossible to res
train the crowd, and the presses, &c., were des
troyed ; and after a portion of the posse had
left town, Robinson’s house was fired, put out,
and again set on fire and burned down. It wa
a two story frame. This was the extent of the
damage to property. One man who was ob
served attempting to make his escape from a
hoise, during the heat of excitement, was fired
upon and killed, and a pro-slavery man was
dangerously injured by the falling of a brick
from the hotel walls. Another pro-slavery man
was accidently shot, bnt he will probably get
well.
Sheriff Jones gave Gen. I’omeroy a receipt
for all the rifles and cannon suraeadered by him
to the authorities of Douglas county.
Jacob Branson, whose name has figured a
good deal in the affairs of Kansas, was arres
ted on the I9th by Deputy Sheriff Fain, and
four others. He was taken at his house. He
threatened to shoot the officers, and put a rifle
through the crack of the house, but did not
fire. His wife opened one of the doors, with
a pistol in each hand, and warned them not to
approach a step nearer ; but the trigger w-as
not pulled. Finally, Bronson agreed to sur
render.
The evening before Lawrence was entered, a
man was killed at Bronson’s bridge. He was
hailed by the picket guard—refused to answer,
started to run, and was fired upon and shot in
the back.
The same evening two of the picket guard
were out about one mile from Lawrenee ; they
were met by five men from the town —were
asked if they belonged to the Pro-Slavery party
and on answering that they did not, they were
filed upon, one of them receiving a shot in the
arm—the other shot one of the assailants in the
head—and both of them then escaped.
Gov. Shannon, it was understood, would
request that 100 of the regular troops should
be stationed in Lawrence, 100 in Topeka, and
and 100 at Osawatomie. Sheriff Jones had
some writs to serve at Topeka, aud it was re
ported that about 100 of the malcontents had
assembled at the Big Spring, to give him bat
tle, but, after the occurrence at Lawrence, this
will hardly be done. At Osawatomie Judge
Cato, of the District Court, had been preven
ted from holding bis Court, by threats of vio
lence to the Grand Jury by the Free States
men. and this preeantion was deemed necessa
ry-
There were about three hundred citizens of
Lawrence still in town on Wednesday, and
many of them were greatly exasperated at their
leaders, because they had deserted in the hour
of their difficulties, and they vowed that they
would not again be found in resistance to the
laws of the Territory. A good many were
passengers on the Star of the West, returning
to the East.
Wood, one of the mischief makers in Kansas
is said to have fled to Cleaveland, Ohio. Noth
ing was known of Breeder.
An extra from the office of the Westport Bor
der Times, dated on the 23d., 10 a. m., furnishes
some other reports, obtained from the corres-
S indent of the New York Herald. Col. G. D.
rewerton.
The extra says:
Col.-’Brewerton left Behan's on the Wark
arusa.Jast night, about seven o'clock. Capt.
Pate scommand of thirty men is there. A run
ner came in from’Franklin, who stated tha
about two hundred Abolitionists, armed with
Sharp’s rifles, were collecting in Lawrence, and
had attempted toshoot'Mr. Cox, who was re
turning to his'home, in'-Lawrence, with his
wife and child ; he thinking that thewar was
over. Col. Brewerton conversed with Mr. Cox,
at Bohan's where he bad fled for protection :
he confirmed the report, and said that as he ‘
was entering Lawrence with his wife and child,
j in a buggy, he was attacked by about two liun
I dred Abolition outlaws, armed with Sharp’s
i rifles, which they aimed at him; and while he i
■ was debating what to do, two young men came |
I to him and begged him for God s sake to save
himself and family by flight, lie turned to
leave, when he was fired upon with a Sharp's
rifles and a six shooter, the balls grazing 11=
wife’s head. He then fled to Behan's.
I Dr. Bratton is rapidly recovering.
j Mr. Behan is about to move his family—he
; thinks it dangerous to remain longer at bis
‘ home.
The Committee of Investigation was still in
session at Fort Leavenworth. The Black Re- ■
publicans have published the testimony on their
side.
Letter? rom Gen. Cass.
The subjoined letter from Gen. Cass was i
read at the Walker meeting held at New- York j
on Friday evening last :
Washington, May 21. I
Sir : Your telegraphic despatch inviting i
me to attend the meeting in the Park on Fri
day evening has just reached me. I cannot be ;
there in person, but my feelings aud sympathies
are with you in this demonstration of public
satisfaction at the wise and just measure of the
administration by which the existing govern- :
ment of Nicaragua is recognised, and will be :
encouraged to go on with its good work. I:
trust it will meet the cordial appropriation of j
the American people. It cannot fail to do so ■
if they are true to the faith of their fathers.— I
Since the commencement of our national ex- i
istence it has been our principle to consider ■
every foreign government a ligitimate one I
which is received as such in its own country.—
This is the condition of the present rulers of
Nicaragua, and it is no less our duty, than it
ought to be our desire, to lend them the moral i
support they can derive from our recognition. I
I am free to confess that the heroic effort of our
countrymen in Nicaragua excites my admira
tion, while it engages all my solicituce. lam
not to be deterred from the expressions of these
feelings by sneers, or reproaches, or hard words
He whs does not sympathize with such an en
terprise has little in common with me. The
dificulties which General Walker has encoun
tered and overcome will place his name high
on the roll of the dist’nguished men of his age.
He has conciliated the people he went to aid
the government of which he makes part is per
forming its functions without opposition, and
internal tranquility marks the wisdom of its
policy. That magnificieut religion, for which
God has done so much and man so little needs
some renovating process, some transfusion by
which a new light may be impart 'd to it.—
Our countrymen will plant there the seeds of
our institutions, and God grant that they may
grow up into an abundant harvest of industry,
enterprise, and prosperity. A new day, I hope
is opening upon the States of Central America.
If we are true to our duty they wiil soon be
freed from all danger of European interference,
and will have a security in their own power
against the ambitious designs of England far
better than Clayion Bulwer treaties, or any
other diplomatic machinery by which a spirit
of aggression is sought to be concealed till cir
cumstances are ready for active operation. I
am, sir. respectfullv. your obedient servant.

Governor Wise on Bachelors.—Since it
seems to be generally understood that Mr. Buc
hannan is the first choice of Governor Wise
for the succession, some of our Wuig friends
are having a bit of fun at his e pense. They
charge him with inconsistency, and adduce in
proof the extract below, from a speech of his
in Congress:
“But Mr. Speaker, there is a certain class of
men, who, put them where you will, in any sit
uation in life, will piddle—l mean old batehe
lors. I will never, henceforth, support any
man for the Presidency who will appoint a
bachelor to any office of honor or profit, and
especially of responsibility. An old bachelor,
sir, is an old withered fig-tree—he is a vis in
ertiae 1 Old bachelors are too near a kin to
old maids!”
We have no doubt the ladies think as Gov
ernor Wise did.
The reader is doubtless informed of the
fact that, since the expulsion of the Mormons
from Nauvoo, Illinois, the site of that town has
fallen into the occupation of Mons. Cabet. who
at the head of a body of French Socialists, en
titled the Icarian Colony, has for a few years
past been endeavoring to put into practice
there the principles of communism. For some
time they got on only passably well; but at
length the apple of discord has rolled in and
the community become so divided that, whilst
Cabet himself and a minority of the colonis.s
are understood to advocate immigration from
France, a majority opposes such a course, and,
directly warns their foreign bretberu against
risking the chances of much discomfort and
suffering, owing to the divided cordition of the
colony.
tejy The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, of29th May, says
I noticed to-day that your Senators and Re
presentatives were all in their seats, with the
exception of Colonel Orr. who has been con
fined to his bed for some days past by a severe
attack of neuralgia.
There.have been exaggerated reports of the
condition of Senator Sumner, but it is general
ly understoodtthey are circulated merely for
political effect. 'lt is stated that Dr. Boyle,
his physician, has'been dismissed because of his
scepticism as to the extent of his injuries.

What are those people reading ?"
Said Fredrick, half aloud,
While, standing by the window.
He :- iw an eager crowd.
High on a wall adjoining
A paper had been stuck ;
The people stood on tip toe
To read, with wonder struck.
One of his six-foot guardsmen
Who beard him, answered.‘-Sire.
Your majesty permitting.
I hasten to enquire.”
Soon, Hushed witii indignation.
The guard returned—“l see
Tis an atrocious libel
Upon your Majesty
The King took out his snuff-box,
With more of smile than frown —
“A libel,my good fellow!”
Well, go, and take it down"
-- Yes, Sire I”—“Friend, stop a moment—
You'll take it down, indeed :
But just to place it lower,
So all with ease may read.”
'Tis done—around the soldicf
Amazed the people stand,
And question of his doings—
“ ’Tis by the King’s command I
“He cares not what is written.
Or said, by friend or foe.
Content to ask his people,
Are these things true or no ?"
They spurned away the libel:
Its words had lost their weight;—
A thunder rolled to Heaven —
-Live Frederick the Great
Now, this was not the weakness
Os a good-natured fool-
It was the manly wisdom
Os one that knew to rule.
Thou who to France hast given
Her former power and glory.

Wonderful Instance of Sagacity,-—We
hear, says the Sandusky Register, of an instance
of sagacity practised by the elephant attach
ed to Herr Driesbach’s Menagerie, which de
serves record. Coming into N ewark, Ohio
last Saturday, the elephant’s keeper fell in a
fit from his horse. The whole menagerie im
mediately came to a halt, and some members of
the company went forward to pick up the
man. But the elephant would not allow any
person to approach the senseless form of his>
keeper. Taking him up with his trunk softly
he would place him on his horse, but finding
that the man was senseless, he laid him on the
ground and kept watch over him. Many mem
bers of the menagerie tried to soothe the faith
ful elephant, who had now become furious at
the supposed death of his master, but to no
purpose, and there the man lay watched by the
sagacious animal. After laying in this condi
tion fur some time, a physician, who had been
sent for, arrived, and yet the elephant would
allow no one to approach. At length the
keeper became so far conscious as to commaad
the elephant to let the physician coma Ynear,
aud the animal was docile and obedient in a
moment, and the keeper was properly cared
for, the elephant, all the while, expressing the I
utmost anxiety for the sick man.
What else was this but the exercise of a
human intelligence, in which pity and affection
and reason were all undoubtedly blended ?
We can almost believe that that animal, at
least, has something of a soul, if ’tis reason
which marks the presence of the immortal
spark.
“Ion” of the Baltimore Sun, writing <
from Washington City, May 30th, says ;
J7r. Crampton was informed on Monday of I
his dismissal and that of the three Consuls; |
but, for commercial reasons, it was agreed be
tween Mr. Crampton and Mr. Marcy that the i
fact should be kept back from the business I
community of New Y ork till after the sailing
of the Asia, which would convey out the dis
patches both of .47r. Crampton aud Mr. Marcy |
on the subject. It was thought that if the fact'
should be announced on Monday, Wall street'
would be thrown into an unnecessary commo-'
lion, and the most gloomy reports be sent to I
Europe in regard to business affairs. The bu-1

A Romantic Allair.
Lorr, laiw. Despair, Attempted Suicide and
Matrimony.
An affair, which was chock-full of dramatic
I effect and incident, and which contained as much
I genuine romance as a library of “yallarkivered”
i novels, highly concentrated, came off, or rather
I‘ came to hand,” yesterday. It seems that a
| certain young female, who shall of course, be
; nameless, “loved not wisely but too well,” aud
the mother of the damsel, becoming acquainted
' with the real position of things, sought out the
' trouble, and insisted upon' his marrying her
j daughter. This the youth most ungallantly re
fused to do, aud the mother, without consulting
■ her daughter, bad the unfaithful swain arrest
ed and taken before Aiderman Clements. The
young lady, upon hearing of theextrme meas
ures to which her parent had resorted, became
' frantic with rage aud mortification, and she
i forthwith proceeded to make arrangements for
| shuffling off this mortal coil, and she actually
I hung herself. Fortunately, she was discovered
. before it was too late, and cut down iu time to
save her life. The incident having come to the
cars of her betrayer, his stubboruess yielded at
once. He was unable to withstand this last
strong evidence of devotion and despair, aud he
consented to be married. The ceremony was
performed by Aiderman Clements, and the twain
, found themselves in a noose which we trust will
i prove a more comfortable one than that by
' which the lady sought to rid herself of her
troubles.—Philad. Bulletin, May 45.
Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sumner.
Some persons are impressed with the opinion'
that as the committee of the House have re
commended the expulsion of Mr. Brooks, the
report will be received, and Mr. Brooks be ex
pelled. The power to expel, is a different mat
ter entirely from the power to recommend an
expulsion. A majority of the committee may
recommend and a majority of the House may
desire to expel a member, but it requires a ma
jority of two-thirds io expel. The first article
of the fifth section of the Constitution of the
United States, says, “either House of Congress
may, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel
a member.” Under no circumstances do we
believe, this power can be obtained in the House
of Congress. Even if it were exercised, the
Congressional district, in South Carolina, which
Mr. Brooks represents, would immediately re
turn him to his seat. So the Black Republi

The Courtesies of Business Life.—Busi
ness men who lay in a fair stock of civility, will
find it as good an investmest to draw, please,
and retain custom, as they can make. The
small civilities and courtesies of life are too of
ten neglected by them. Wc Lave been taunted
as a nation of shopkeepers, who, in our haste
to be rich, forget not only proprieties, but
moralities ; we have been charged with idola
try, worshipping the almighty dollar, and the
conduct of some has given color to the charge.
Let not the reproach longer remain. A nation
immersed in trade need not, necessarily, be for
getful of the requirements of honor, uprightness,
and truth. A man in trade need not be boor,
nor is he in anywise exonerated from extending
toward his customers the same sauvities he
would extend to a guest in his house, to a stran
ger he is introduced to in company. He need
not indulge informal etiquette and pompous
civilities, for there is no heart in such a manner;
but in the easy genial habits which speak a
kindly feeling and claim n reciprocating respect.
Hints to Railroad Travellers. —When
you enter the cars, take special pains to get the
best seat near the stove. If you find there is a
prospect of a rush for seats, try the effect of
fcrce to crowd your way at the expense of la
dies in your rear. If you have a carpet bag,
give that a place by your side, that you may
not be troubled by having another person near
you. If you find a lady sitting near you who
has weak lungs, or is in delicate health, be sure
to raise the window, persist in your right to en
joy the air if you please. Or should a lady be
found standiag in the passage who happened in
at some way-station, keep your seat, for you
paid for it, and strengthen your purpose with
the conclusion, that people have no right to
get into a car, when all the seats are occupied.
When ladies are seated near you, and you are
iu the habit of enjoying the juicy quid, be sure
to rnalre a decided impression upon the silks in
your vicinity, and thereby give full proof of
your Americanism. Ifyoufindit convenient
to intersperse your conversation with an occa
sional oath, or to raise your voice above the din
of cars and locomotive, you will find thrse who
will prove attentive listeners. In a word, look
out for self: stand for your rights ; this is a
free country, and we, the people, are all sore-'
reigns.— Providence Transcript.
Bs-lf The last we hear of Lola Montez she

she went down stairs with a whip, and laid it
on his back with hearty good will. Mr. See- ■

Otto of Roses.
It is a well known fact that a large propor
tion of the otto of roses, whith is used in Eu
rope and America, is manufactured in Turkey ;
and we are confident that a brief description
of the process of manufacture will be apprecia
ted and approved, at least by the lady readers
of our paper. We compile the prescription
from an interesting article which recently ap
peared in Hunt’s Merchant Magazine.
The principal seat of the manufacture is in
the district of Hassanlik, which comprises about
thirty six villages, and is situated in Bul
garia, about two hundred miles north west of
Constantinople. This district is devoted al
most entirely to the cultivation of roses, and
during the season of harvesting, which is from
the first of May to the middle of June, the
country, for miles beyond the borders of the
district, is redolent with the odor of roses.—
The cultivation of tho rose and the extrac
tion of the oil, occupy nearly all the time of
the people. In the distillation of the roses, the
water which comes off is successively re distill
ed, and finally the oil, being the Tightest, rise to
the top and is skimmed off. It is limpid, with
a tinge of orange color. It is said to fake
three hundred thousand roses to yield one oz
of oil.
This oil is brought to Constantinople in
hermetically sealed copper vessels, varying in
size from those capnple of bolding on ounce to
those which hold seven pounds—so that, at
the regular market price ($6 an oz.), one of the
copper cases may be worth SSOO. The oil is
worth six times its weight in silver. The ordi
nary amount of oil produced in Hassanlik is a
ittlc less than 3000 pounds. At Constantino
ple the oil is put up in gilt bottles, manufac
tured expre sly for the purpose iu Bohemia.—
The rose water which remains from the distil
ation after the oil has been skimmed off, is
sold for eight or ten cents a quart, and is used
by the Greeks and Armenians on all festival
occasions.
It has been stated that the otto is worth in
the land of its manufacture six dollars an ounce
and it is frequently sold here for a considerably
less amount! This apparent inctjpsistency is
owing to the fact that the oil is susceptible of
an extraordinary degree of adulteration. It
was formerly mixed with sandal wood oil, which
is valued at about one twelfth as much as the
otto of roses. It is much less liquid and flow
ing than the oil of roses.
Os late years, however, a new oil has been
ntroduced to dilute oil of roses and render it
less overpowering—it is brought by the Arabs
from Mecca, and is called by them “Shepherd’s
Perfume.” It is extracted from a kind of geran
ium, at a cost of two dollars per pound, or one
thirty sixth the price of otto of roses. Both
on account of its cheapness, a certain similar!
ty of odor, aud its likeness in color and weight
to otto of roses, no other oil is so well adapted
to mix with it and reduce its strength. In the
common oil of roses, found in the shops, there
is probably fifty per cent, of foreign oils; and
the diffusibility of its aroma is such, that it
may receive without perceivable depreciation,
•ii the opinion of ordinary judges, eighty per
‘cent, of foreign oils; and the diffusibility of its
aroma is such, that it may receive without
perceivable depreciation, in the opinion of or
dinary judges, eighty per cent, of pure foreign
oils—"especially of the oil of geranium.
There are individuals iu Constantinople
whose profession is to test the quality of otto
of roses, and this they arc able to do with
great accuracy, relying chiefly on their sense
of smell. If a piece of white paper be mois
tened with pure otto of roses, the oil wil evapor
ate, leaving no trace but a marked perfume.—
If it is a mixed oil, a stain will be left on the
paper, without odor. America is probably a
larger consumer of otto of rose than any coun
try of an equal population. But the larger
portion of the importation is sold to snuff man
factners. to scent therewith their best snuffs.
