A Curious Substance Cast Up by the Sea and Worth More than its Weight in Gold—Notes from the Establishment oi Portland Perfume Makers. Id the windows of the store of Messrs. Scklotterbeck & Foss are to be seen small quantities of gray and black am- bergris. This substance, one of the most mysterious and valuable in tbe world, is rarely displayed to public view, and while many have beard of it, few have seen it. Tbe gray ambergris, at wholesale figures, costs as high as thirty dollars an ounce or higher. The dark ambergris costs as high as twenty dollars an ounce. The ambergris is about the consistency of decayed hard wood, very brittle with a pronounced tendency to crumble. The odor is very peculiar, as if the stuff had been packed away a long time in the tombs of Egypt. It resembles dry broken clay. The gray is finer and harder to obtain than the black. The two kinds are found Bide by sisde. Ambergris is gen- erally supposed to bo a secretion from the stomach of a dyspeptic whale. It is found floating od the sea, particularly in the Southern hemisphere, where it is of- ten cast upon the shores. The pieces are generally small, but have weighed as high as 300 pounds. Ambergris consists of a peculiar fatty matter called ambrein. It was long regarded as a cordial and anti-spasmodic, useful in typhoid fevers and nervous dis- eases. In these days, however, it is used al- most entirely in the manufacture of fine perfumes. Its office is that of “fixer” to give a body to hold the odor. Helio- trope, violet and^other delicate perfumes are made with ambergris. Weeks & Potter, of Boston, many years ago made a great stroke in buying at New Bedford several barrels of ambergris, which the whalers did not know the value of. Since then this firm have been headquarters for ambergris, the great Paris perfumers looking to them for sup- plies. Messrs. Schlottebeck & Foss use the ambergris in the manufacture of per- fumery, which is conducted iu their ex- tensive laboratory. Perfume manufac- turers in this country do not generally extract it from the flowers. That is done by the great Paris establishments, who get violets, roses, etc., from all parts of Europe. With these flowers and a cer- tain greasy substance resembling lard they mak^n pomade which retains the delicate principle in which resides the odor of the flower. This pomade is sold to those who make the perfumery of commerce. The process of making the perfumery from the pomade is long and delicate, Hnd so little practised in this country that cbe machinery has to he bought in France. SOUTH PORTLAND. The May carnival or the opera of the May Queen, occurs at the Union opera house next Friday and [Saturday eve- nings with Saturday matinee. The opera has long been in preparation, and under the able supervision of Mrs.E.T.Nich- ols, bids fair to be the finest production of anything of the kind ever attempted in South Portland. The cast embraces about 30 youug people. The proceeds of the carnival will go for the benefit of the South Portland library association, and since all feel personally interested in the library’s welfare and improve- ments, they will of course attend this carnival and make it a grand success. Mr. George Broughton has returned from Lynn where he has been engaged as foreman on a contract job. Why don’t the ladies organize a cycle club? One sees about as mauy lady cyc- lists now as they do men. Dr. Sawyer of Pleasautdals had a nar- row escape from injury at Cash’s corner Tuesday, his horse taking fright, throw- iug him out of the carriuge, and giving him a severe shaking up. The horse was cut up and the carriage badly broken. Mr. George W.Cash has leased one o{ his houses to Portland parties. IMPORTANT TO HORSEMEN. They Must Make Their Entries in Due Form—A Circular of General Interest. The managers of the Blaine track are finding it hard to make owners of horses understand that entries must be made in a proper way. In one case recently n man sent entry money for a, dozen horses and when written to for a corrected entry was surprised that any fault was found in the first instance. Horsemen are careless in making on- tries. .Many think it sufficient to name thsir horse and enclose payment. When the horse’s name does not appear in the Year Book classification is almost im- possible. Some such letter as this is being constantly received by secretaries of the Various tracks: Queenstown, Apirl 1. Secy. Enclosed find §20, first payment upon my borse Sandy Jim, In your Oc- tober stakes. Yours, Kano BIcKaue. Kigby in such cases replies as follows: Portland, April 3. Kane McKane, Esq. Dear Sir. Yours, containing $20, first payment upon horse Sandy Jim in onr October stakes received and credited. We have uamed Sandy Jim in Free-for- all paco with Robert J., Jo Patchen and John R. Gentry. If not correct please advise. Yours resp’y, Rigby Management. This usually brings corrected entry. The following circular has been sent by the Rigby management to many of the local clubs and other organizations: Gentlemen: It is the desire of the management having the details of the New England Fair in hand to give a floral parade, Wednesday, Aug. 2Sth, which shall not only command the ap- probation of our citizeus but that of onr visitors. It is thought, with a little effort, we can this season lay the founda- tion of an annual floral parade, some- thing upon the principle of the BJardi Gras at New Orleans, which will draw tuuuMiuua mi uui uu/. miiu iuio iuoa iu view we would ask your association to contribute a piece, either typical of your organization, or appropriate to the occasion. Yours respectfully, New England Fair Management, Per H.F.Farnham. If any club does not receive the above they will understand that the invitation is general, and is to be so regarded. STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST. The study of birds is to be introduced in the Lewiston schools. Arrangements are being made for mounted specimeus of a lot of the more common birds, and about ten birds will be placed iu each room with which to begin work. Some good text books are being secured. At a meeting of the Weaver’s union of Lewiston Monday afternoon it was voted to resume work at the Androscoggin mill Tuesday morning pending a finel settle- ment. What with an Androscoggin county woman testifying that her husband put a dead skunk m her clothespress and a Cumberland county woman that her husband, a church member, lepeatediy beat her, marriage infelicities in Maine courts the past few days have been rather sensational. Preparations are in order for Arbor day and many a sapling will then be planted, the Kennebec Journal says. “It would bo very iuterestiug to know bow many trees have been set out in this State since the first observance of this day. Around many residences and pub- lic buildiugs in the various cities and towns iu Maine are handsome shade trees which were set out on Arbor day.” The West river drive, 4,500,000 feet, has reached Stillwater boom, and is now being manufactured iDto the best quality of lumber that has been turned out by the mills for many years." The presiding officer of the Cherryfield Press Club has been presented with a gavel made from a hickory mallet which Ichahod Willey used in constructing the first mill on the Narragua.gus river. It was nuilt soon after the war of the Revolution for Ueneral Alexander Camp- bell. Dexter is so far from having a freshet like the rest of Maine that it will take a number of feet mone of water yet to fill the lake. It has not been full for five j JVUrHf IJUli IUU LUlli ILICU loci bCl- tain of getting it filled before the spring rains are over. The farm buildings of Mr. Charles | Cowan, in Gienburu, just above New- comb’s Lauding, were burned Monday afternoon. _ At the annual meeting of the trustees for Union Academy, Coriuna, Hon.A.R. Day was elected resident trustee and ex- ecutive committee. 2 It is thought the fire at the National House, Bangor, was incendiary, and was set by an enemy of the mother of Mr. Palmer, one of the lessees. She separated from her husband some time ago, and she has been persecuted in various ways since. The Kennehec Journal says: “Augusta people are not supersensitive, hut they do object to the location of the venera- ble mixed meat market and dry goods adevertisement” story being located on the beautiful banks of the Kennebec.” The Augusta Board of Trade, at its meeting next Thursday, will discuss tbe questions of tbe proposed railroad from Lewiston to Camden through Augusta, and the establishing of a shoe factory in the six story Allen building. Mrs. Hannah Robinson of Augusta reached her 100th birthday anniversary Tuesday, and had many callers to ex- tend their congratulations and make her present*. The executive committee fof tbe Y.P. S.C.E. of the State met in Augusta Tuesday in consuitation with President Townsend in reference to the coming State convention of that society at Houl- ton. The dates decided upon were Sep- tember 3, 4 and 5. John V.Sweeney, a respected citizen of Lewiston, residing on Oak street, com- mitted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor Tuesday night. The MacliiasUnion says: “With all the mills agoing, vessels loading and tin)'ail- ing, it begins to look enterprising about town.” It is said 400 men will be employed on the Bangor & Oldtow n railroad.

New Gloucester. Sabbath Day Lake, May 1. The truant officers are around compelling the attend- ance of those scnolars who from force of habit are usually absent from school. This will remove quite a good deal of responsibility from the teachers. For the blame for irregularities in attend- ance, particularly in the country schools, is invariably laid to the teachers, who have no adequate means at their com- mand to enforce delinquents to attend. It is hoped that this new method will continue, for the time has long since nnnn lir nrVinn cohnlaru clinnl'l 1 o nnovorl of hired to go to school any more in the country than they are in the city.

PRECIOUS AMBERGRIS.

A Curious Substance Cast Up by the Sea

and Worth More than its Weight in

Gold—Notes from the Establishment oi

Portland Perfume Makers.

Id the windows of the store of Messrs. Scklotterbeck & Foss are to be seen

small quantities of gray and black am-

bergris. This substance, one of the most mysterious and valuable in tbe world, is rarely displayed to public view, and while many have beard of it, few have seen it.

Tbe gray ambergris, at wholesale figures, costs as high as thirty dollars an

ounce or higher. The dark ambergris costs as high as twenty dollars an ounce.

The ambergris is about the consistency of decayed hard wood, very brittle with a pronounced tendency to crumble. The odor is very peculiar, as if the stuff had been packed away a long time in the tombs of Egypt. It resembles dry broken clay.

The gray is finer and harder to obtain than the black. The two kinds are

found Bide by sisde. Ambergris is gen- erally supposed to bo a secretion from the stomach of a dyspeptic whale. It is found floating od the sea, particularly in the Southern hemisphere, where it is of- ten cast upon the shores. The pieces are

generally small, but have weighed as

high as 300 pounds. Ambergris consists of a peculiar fatty

matter called ambrein. It was long regarded as a cordial and anti-spasmodic, useful in typhoid fevers and nervous dis- eases.

In these days, however, it is used al- most entirely in the manufacture of fine perfumes. Its office is that of “fixer” to give a body to hold the odor. Helio- trope, violet and^other delicate perfumes are made with ambergris.

Weeks & Potter, of Boston, many years ago made a great stroke in buying at New Bedford several barrels of ambergris, which the whalers did not know the value of. Since then this firm have been headquarters for ambergris, the great Paris perfumers looking to them for sup- plies.

Messrs. Schlottebeck & Foss use the ambergris in the manufacture of per- fumery, which is conducted iu their ex-

tensive laboratory. Perfume manufac- turers in this country do not generally extract it from the flowers. That is done by the great Paris establishments, who get violets, roses, etc., from all parts of Europe. With these flowers and a cer-

tain greasy substance resembling lard they mak^n pomade which retains the delicate principle in which resides the odor of the flower. This pomade is sold to those who make the perfumery of commerce. The process of making the perfumery from the pomade is long and delicate, Hnd so little practised in this country that cbe machinery has to he bought in France.

SOUTH PORTLAND.

The May carnival or the opera of the May Queen, occurs at the Union opera house next Friday and [Saturday eve-

nings with Saturday matinee. The opera has long been in preparation, and under the able supervision of Mrs.E.T.Nich- ols, bids fair to be the finest production of anything of the kind ever attempted in South Portland. The cast embraces about 30 youug people. The proceeds of the carnival will go for the benefit of the South Portland library association, and since all feel personally interested in the library’s welfare and improve- ments, they will of course attend this carnival and make it a grand success.

Mr. George Broughton has returned from Lynn where he has been engaged as foreman on a contract job.

Why don’t the ladies organize a cycle club? One sees about as mauy lady cyc- lists now as they do men.

Dr. Sawyer of Pleasautdals had a nar-

row escape from injury at Cash’s corner

Tuesday, his horse taking fright, throw- iug him out of the carriuge, and giving him a severe shaking up. The horse was cut up and the carriage badly broken.

Mr. George W.Cash has leased one o{ his houses to Portland parties.

IMPORTANT TO HORSEMEN.

They Must Make Their Entries in Due

Form—A Circular of General Interest.

The managers of the Blaine track are

finding it hard to make owners of horses understand that entries must be made in a proper way. In one case recently n

man sent entry money for a, dozen horses and when written to for a corrected entry was surprised that any fault was found in the first instance.

Horsemen are careless in making on-

tries. .Many think it sufficient to name

thsir horse and enclose payment. When the horse’s name does not appear in the Year Book classification is almost im- possible. Some such letter as this is being constantly received by secretaries of the Various tracks:

Queenstown, Apirl 1. Secy. Enclosed find §20, first payment

upon my borse Sandy Jim, In your Oc- tober stakes.

Yours, Kano BIcKaue.

Kigby in such cases replies as follows: Portland, April 3.

Kane McKane, Esq. Dear Sir. Yours, containing $20, first

payment upon horse Sandy Jim in onr October stakes received and credited. We have uamed Sandy Jim in Free-for- all paco with Robert J., Jo Patchen and John R. Gentry. If not correct please advise. Yours resp’y,

Rigby Management. This usually brings corrected entry. The following circular has been sent

by the Rigby management to many of the local clubs and other organizations:

Gentlemen: It is the desire of the management having the details of the New England Fair in hand to give a floral parade, Wednesday, Aug. 2Sth, which shall not only command the ap- probation of our citizeus but that of onr

visitors. It is thought, with a little effort, we can this season lay the founda- tion of an annual floral parade, some- thing upon the principle of the BJardi Gras at New Orleans, which will draw tuuuMiuua mi uui uu/. miiu iuio iuoa iu

view we would ask your association to contribute a piece, either typical of your organization, or appropriate to the occasion. Yours respectfully,

New England Fair Management, Per H.F.Farnham.

If any club does not receive the above they will understand that the invitation is general, and is to be so regarded.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The study of birds is to be introduced in the Lewiston schools. Arrangements are being made for mounted specimeus of a lot of the more common birds, and about ten birds will be placed iu each room with which to begin work. Some good text books are being secured.

At a meeting of the Weaver’s union of Lewiston Monday afternoon it was voted to resume work at the Androscoggin mill Tuesday morning pending a finel settle- ment.

What with an Androscoggin county woman testifying that her husband put a dead skunk m her clothespress and a Cumberland county woman that her husband, a church member, lepeatediy beat her, marriage infelicities in Maine courts the past few days have been rather sensational.

Preparations are in order for Arbor day and many a sapling will then be planted, the Kennebec Journal says. “It would bo very iuterestiug to know bow many trees have been set out in this State since the first observance of this day. Around many residences and pub- lic buildiugs in the various cities and towns iu Maine are handsome shade trees which were set out on Arbor day.”

The West river drive, 4,500,000 feet, has reached Stillwater boom, and is now being manufactured iDto the best quality of lumber that has been turned out by the mills for many years."

gavel made from a hickory mallet which Ichahod Willey used in constructing the first mill on the Narragua.gus river. It was nuilt soon after the war of the Revolution for Ueneral Alexander Camp- bell.

Dexter is so far from having a freshet like the rest of Maine that it will take a

number of feet mone of water yet to fill the lake. It has not been full for five

_

At the annual meeting of the trustees for Union Academy, Coriuna, Hon.A.R. Day was elected resident trustee and ex- ecutive committee.

2 It is thought the fire at the National House, Bangor, was incendiary, and was set by an enemy of the mother of Mr. Palmer, one of the lessees. She separated from her husband some time ago, and she has been persecuted in various ways since.

The Kennehec Journal says: “Augusta people are not supersensitive, hut they do object to the location of the venera- ble mixed meat market and dry goods adevertisement” story being located on the beautiful banks of the Kennebec.” The Augusta Board of Trade, at its meeting next Thursday, will discuss tbe questions of tbe proposed railroad from Lewiston to Camden through Augusta, and the establishing of a shoe factory in the six story Allen building.

Mrs. Hannah Robinson of Augusta reached her 100th birthday anniversary Tuesday, and had many callers to ex-

tend their congratulations and make her present*.

The executive committee fof tbe Y.P. S.C.E. of the State met in Augusta Tuesday in consuitation with President Townsend in reference to the coming State convention of that society at Houl- ton. The dates decided upon were Sep- tember 3, 4 and 5.

John V.Sweeney, a respected citizen of Lewiston, residing on Oak street, com- mitted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor Tuesday night.

The MacliiasUnion says: “With all the mills agoing, vessels loading and tin)'ail- ing, it begins to look enterprising about town.”

It is said 400 men will be employed on the Bangor & Oldtow n railroad.

Sabbath Day Lake, May 1. The truant officers are around compelling the attend- ance of those scnolars who from force of habit are usually absent from school.

mand to enforce delinquents to attend. It is hoped that this new method will continue, for the time has long since nnnn lir nrVinn cohnlaru clinnl'l 1 o nnovorl
