Why'uo we waste the I delicions.odors of our
flowers.? doubt it Is simply through our
ignorance. The ladies *ould saY:
how to improve the essence of a rose, or fasten .
down.the 'oder of a heliotrope, or confine
( the
perfume-of, an orange, blpsSom,"!,'
The - way is-very slinple, kind strange to say, -
the fetters of 'these light airs are of the grosest
kind—putified fat. Mr. Piesse tells us that the ,
method of. obuiining scented \ pomades . . is the
'easiest•thingposSiille. If there is such a thing
as a clean glue-pot in the house, thi OW into it al
little of this 'purified fat, warmed sufficiently on,
the fire to make it liqUid„ and: throw, inta
as 'Many heliotrope flowers 1 . . 4 .is 'possible ; let
these (remain' for twenty-four hours, then 'strain •
off the fat and add fresh flowers to it , ; repeat.
this process' for . ft week, and theresult . vril‘
pomade a la heliotrope, and such, Mr. riesse
says, as cannot be got for love dr mbney from
the perfumers. Other flowers Flay be treated
.in the same manner, and thus turned into po,- .
made& -
The method of . liberating the ,essenee. of
flowers from this fattinesS is Veo-siniplel - The
fat is cut into small cubes, andVlacfd into stiir
-1 •
its of wine, and the delicate odor immediately
transfers itself from the coarse Tat to the spirit- .
ual solvent. Thus pomades and essence are
readily. made at home, and .we may 'add that
they will pay. fin. the trouble, of extracting
them.. "I will buy tiny amount of heliotrope
Pomade that I Could get,".- Says -Mr.-...Piesse;
."the ottos 'of orange ,blossoms. ' k and - jitsmine
flowers' are as 'valuable as gold; weight tor .
weight." He say's again, •".Arid fdr all these see
have to ,go 'to France. In our t cohnies vast
quantities of . theee—and, indeed, Of every flow=
er—go to Waste ; why,", asks' this gentleman,
"should we not 'grow' flowers for the, nose as
well as for the eye ?" The query is a Ve.ry Per- .
tinent- one. Some of the most &Heat& per , -•
fumes and flavorings, hoWever,: their ;birth

which nature gives . us. Very, fOany', of them

WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS.

THE DEMOCRAT, JUNE 28, 1876.
The world has existed several thonsand
ye'ars, and, until quite, recently, it got on:with:
out newspapers. How did the people manage
to pass the odds and; ends of time ? HoW did
thoy find out what was going on ? How did
they m anutacture public opinion, and stir up
popular excitements, and 'expose great frauds,
aakikeep the, politicians in order, and adyertise
their gooda;nnd do a hundred ether - things; for
we now rely - upon the (Lilly pres 71 Im-

the l eoprier has departed; he sends out the town

citizens from their homes and shops, und listen

Presently we, see, e pop the wholnlation, en,

were in. Manuscript. When newspapers were

Marvelous changes have come over the face
of oir newspapers during the last century: l *h
usedtto be a marked morning in the week when
the little, damp sheet waxbrought in a n d dried
before the fire. The paper did not tell up much;
but, 'iztr the older folk, there were didaqc edito
rials which were read rather as a matter - of
ditty, a few items of political, or general news,
standing advertisenients ; and, for the rest of
us; there was tbe Poet's Corner, and perhaps a
lew ancient conumdrums. an hour or two.
the Whole sheet might be devoured, advertise
ments and . all. Lite is too brief for any such
thorthigh consumption of the newspaper, as it
no 'appears ;itis a 'daily ericyclodtedia, where
everything that happens in - the world, great
and Small, is record ed. The reporters .seeni to
be übiquitous ; nothing escapes them ; every
thing is swept into their net, iermons, speech
es; triali, investigations, debates, accidents, ex
plosions, crimes, fires—they drag the stream
,and not a fish escapes. Let anythifig of ac
. .
count occur in the , ! most remote town, and. an
accoMplished reporter extemporized -on the.
spot,iwhose gifts of rhetoric throw , ' our 'most
sensational novelists into the shade._
If .the Emperor of China is to en .ill, we
knoW it before tbe Imperial doctor
,as time to
kill dr cure. When a prOminen‘ c tizens dies;
we have his biography . before th body has
time to grow cold, and ,we have known one or
two interesting cases where the over precipi
tate haste of the editor, furnished the individual-
,
with the privilege ot"reading his.own obituary.

We, become attached to a particular newspa
per, partly becauie it reflects our own opiniens
and partly becauSe We• know where to find
thingS:in, its columns. Wonderful efforts are
made i to supply th 4 paper at an early hour, for
the comfort of reading 'depends very much Up
on its, reaching. Us the right time. After
that, it' becomes stale and unprofitable.
