A New Orchid.

A new orchid, long sought for, which is to immortalize the name of Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, who has a passion for orchids, and almost always wears one in his buttonhole, has been discovered and brought to England. It was found by the agent of an English firm in the Merapi mountains, and is named the Cypripedium Chamberlainianum. Distinction is an eminence which is attained but too frequently at the expense of a fireside.
