A Wonderful Flower.

“Come -with me, air, come! A flower very large and beautiful, wonderful!” exclaimed a Malay, who drew the attention of Dx Arnold to a flower remarkable alike for its enormous size and its anomalous structure and habit. The surprise of the Malay was nothing compared with that of Dr. Arnold and hi? companions, Sir Stanford and Lady Raffles, when, following the native attendant, they say among the bushes of a jungle a flower, apparently springing out of the ground, without stem or leaf, and measuring at least a yard in diameter. The first news of this remarkable discovery created a great amount of curiosity in Europe, and no papers ever read at the Linasean Society can be.compared for the interest they excited, with those in which the illustrious Robert Brown described this wonder of the vegetable world. It is, composed of five roundish leaves or pedals, each a foot across, of a brick-red color, but covered with numerous irregular yellowish white swellings. The pedals surround a large cup nearly a foot wide, the margin of which bears the stamens; and this cup is filled with a fleshy disc, the upper surface of which is everywhere covered with curved projections, like miniature cows’ horns. The cup, when freed of its contents, would hold about six quarts of water. The flower weighs fifteen pounds. It is very thick; the petals being from three-fourths to one inch in thickness. A flower of such dimensions and weight might be expected to be a treasure to the perfumer; but, alas, its odor is exactly that of tainted beef. Dr. Arnold supposed that even the flies which swarmed over the flower when he discovered it, were deceived by its smell and were depositing their eggs in its thick disc, taking it for a piece of carrion! Another cause of wonder to the little band of explorers who discovered it, was that they could find no leaves connected with it. It sprang from a small leafless, creeping stem, about as thick as two fingers. Now a plant without leaves is like an animal without a stomach; for the leaves are to the plant what the stomach is to the animal; they separate from the air the food needed for the growth of the plant. There are, however, strange plants which are actually leafless, making up for this want by using the leaves of others. Such plants are called parasites, because they feed on the nutritive juices of others. Thrusting their roots into the living tissues of other plants instead of the earth, they appropriate the prepared food of these plants, and at once apply it for their own purposes for the production of stem, flower, or fruit. The gigantic Rafflesia belongs to this class. Without a vestige of foliage, it rises directly from the longer stem of one of the wild vines of Sumatra—immense climbers, which are attached like cables to the largest trees of the forests. The buds push through the bark like little buttons, continuing to grow until they have the aspect of larg#, closed cabbages, and in about three months after their first appearance, the flower expands. It remains but a short time in perfection, soon beginning to rot, leaving only the central disc, which becomes a large, rough fruit, filled with multitudes of small seeds. — World, of Wonders.

Daniel Webster’s Court Dress.

Mr. Webster and Judge Duane Doty, then of Green Bay, Wis., were warm friends, and the Judge at one time was a visitor at Marshfield. Mr. Webster was very foild of fishing—the only outdoor sport in which he indulged. While the Judge was his guest it chanced that a fine day for his sport presented itself, of which Mr. W. was anxious to avail himself. Hd accordingly invited the Judge to accompany him in this piscatory sport. The Judge didn’t want to go, and tried his best to get off, saying he would much prefer, with his consent, to pass that rainy day in Mr. W.’s library, among his books and papers. Mr. W. wouldn’t listen to him; said he could pass any and as many days in the library as he chose, but such a day as that for fishing might not occur again while they were at Marshfield. The Judge, as a last resort, said that he really could not go, as it would spoil his clothes; that the handsome black suit he had on was his best and all lip had, and that to go fishing in it would spoil it. To meet this objection Mr. W. directed his servant George to go upstairs and bring down the dress in which he was presented at court in England, which George did. As soon as he appeared with it Mr. W. said: “Thpre, Doty, is a dress for you; put it on, and come as soon as you can, for we are losing valuable time. ” The Judge replied: “Surely, Mr. Webster, you are not in earnest in what you say—that you want me to go fishing in that elegant suit, and spoil it ?” “Yes, I am,” he replied; “that is what it has been brought down for.” The Judge still lingered, when Mr. W. t to settle the matter, said to him: “Have no anxiety about injuring the dress, for to fish and hunt in it is the only way it can now be made useful. Could I wear it in Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, or even here? If I did, wouldn’t everybody laugh at me?” The Judge was compelled to answer affirmatively to the question. “Well, then,” he said, “pray what is it good for but to go fishing in?” This settled the matter. The Judge put on the dress, and went fishing in Mr. W.’s court dress, and saved his own. —Harper’s Magazine .

Opium Eating on the Increase.

The opium habit is spreading in this country, and especially among the higher* classes, professional people for the most part. Morphine, which yon know is six times the strength of opium, and extracted from it, is the favorite form in which the drug is used. The habit is usually contracted quite innocently, perhaps through a physician's prescription, persisted in without Ids knowledge. Once fixed, it is impossible for the habitue to leave it without assistance. He may accustom himself to taking from ten to twenty grains a day. I once had a patient who took 180 grains daily. Was he cured?

Certainly. By tegular but gradual reduction in the amount of his dose. Such cases require the most careful watching and medical oversight. The only absolute security is in isolation, for relapse is commonly fatal.—Dr. Meylert, in New York Tribune ,

The Present and the Past.

The present of public and private good has its roots in the past. The roots in, the vegetable kingdom elaborate below ground material and quality of growth. Stem and branches above do not miss this preparation. If they miss it they die. It appears in everenlarging widtn and beauty. The little stream, tile great river, is at every point receptive of the waters flowing down from the slopes above. To stop and stagnate is not allowed by the cast of nature and an unseen intelligence. Mother birds sing to their children with all the melody of Which they are capable; the children hear and give out the same sweetness in grove and door-yard, house-top and forest, to the farthest years. The mind in its ceaseless activity may think out new systems after which the universe and all existence subsist. In that way old systems may go out of fashion, as it regards the building of this universal manse and its tenantry. But an active interest in the welfare of the race never goes out of fashion. Is the pa&t far away from tho present, the branches far away from the roots, the head from feet, the river in its depth from its hillside fountains ? But the. former cannot do without the latter. For very life the connection is clung to. Along with contemporaneous instincts and the discriminations of good sense let the present draw from the sources of antiquity.— Rev. W. M. Bicknell.

Benjamin’s Retort in the Senate.

Judah P. Benjamin’s father was a small dark-skinned Spanish Jew, who kept a little fruit - shop on Market street, Charleston, S. C. Benjamins early life was spent in that shop. He was educated by the Hebrew Orphan Society of Charleston, graduating under their care at Charleston College. He was a grass orphan by that time. His mother, disagreeing with his father, had left her home and gone to Beaufort, where she opened a general country store. Forty years ago she was conducting it successfully. Both Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin were devoted adherents of the grand old religion of their fathers, and Judah P. Benjamin was educated in it. He has alwayk retained his respect for his race, although he married a Gentile and has never been identified with the Jewish Church. You remember his fine reply in the Senate, when he was taunted in a hot debate with being a Jew. “The Senator,” he said, rising gracefully, and speaking in his usual Bilvary way, “will please remember , that when his half-civilized ancestors were hunting the wild boar in the forests of Silesia mine were the princes of the earth.” The Senate was electrified and the carping Senator was silenced.— Cor. Philadelphia Record.

A Negro’s Prayer.

Bishop Havon presided over tho Texas Conference in 1878. One day he scored some of the colored ministers on a too feeble recognition of meum and tuum, and then called on a brother to pray, who responded as follows: “O, Lord, dou am honest, great an’holy; Hotting dat am unclean an’ dishonest can tuch de. . O, Lord, come an’ teach all classes an’ colors de lesson ob hon esty; makeum honest wid dare tongues, dare feet, dare hans an’ dare heads. O, Lord, make um honest inside an’ out, in de dark an’ in de light. O, Lord, sweet Babe of Bethlehem, come and bfoss our Bishop; front an’fight his ebry battle; send him threw dis world like a pigeon on de wings ob de eagle, an’ when de race am run, an’ de last battle am fought wid dat ole serpent, de debil, an’ dar am no more for him to do in dis world, let him mount de chariot and hab a short ride home; an’ den, Lord, on the plains ob glory, himself all covered wid glory, let him ground his arms near de throne ob de Lamb, an’ lib, an’ rest, an’ shout, foreber an’ ever.” o

Confidence in Her Lawyer’s Ability.

A young attorney of this city has for a client a lady who resides on L street, and who is possessed of considerable real estate. A few days since she called at the office of her attorney and informed him that she desired to secure the services of Judge “Dennison” to assist in certain litigation. The young attorney objected; said she could hire the services of Judge “Dennison” as advisory counsel, but he would not give up the management of the case. “However,” he remarked, “if you do not think I have ability enough to prosecute the case I will step to one side, and you can employ Judge “Dennison.” “La me,” she r plied, “I have every confidence in your .ability; I was only afraid know enough.”— Sacramento' (Cal.) Union.

A Spotted Deer.

Two young women were examining the animals in Central Park, New York. “Oh, what a beautiful Bpotted deer!” said one. The other woman bowed her head and wept. “Why, what’s the matter?” “Oh, you don’t know how bad you make me feel.when you talked about that spotted deer. I once had a spotted dear. * “You did?” “Yes, my dear was a street car conductor, and we were going to get married, but the company spotted him, and he lost his position, and ever since it makes me feel bad to hear people say anything about spotted dears. —Texas Sitings.

The Father of American Fish Culture.

Seth Green, who has done so much for fish culture in this country, is a native &f Rochester, N.»Y., where he was born March 19, 181?. His early education was of the common school order, but that he improved to the best of his ability. While yet young he manifested a taste for hunting and fishing, and used his ears and eyes so well that his talent as an angler and in woodcraft perceptibly developed, and for years his place was the resort of the lovers of game and of the finny tribes. He devoted himself to business so successfully that ina few years he was at the head of a large concern, with agents scattered along the main water courses and lakes of New York. In the year 1838 he began to devote himself to practical fish culture, and after many experiments in 1864 he organized the fish-breeding establishments at Caledonia Springs, in Livingston County, which he conducted with success for four years. In 1867 he constructed a shad-hatching box which had been extensively and successfully used in stocking the Connecticut, Hudson, and other rivers, and in the following year was appointed one of the Fish Commissioners of his native State, but resigning not long after, was made Superintendent of fisheries of New York. Mr. Green has published several works on fish culture, and his services have been recognized abroad in the two gold medals sent him by one of the French societies. His labors in fish culture are now well known over all this continent, and in Europe his name is equally familiar to those interested in this line. Mr. Green has been justly styled the father of American fish culture. —Inter Ocean.

Wanted to Change.

The case being argued was old Farmer Closegrip vs a railroad company for damages sustained in a collision. The old man’s lawyer was making a pitiful appeal to the jury. “Gentlemen of the jury,” he said, “just gaze upon the true, honest, time-beaten face of my client, and suppose he had been fatally wounded; think of the sad blow that his loving wife and little innocent children would have to receive; but, thank heaven, it was not so sad as that. But, O, how he must have suffered during those long days of his illness ! —how the heart-stricken companion of his life felt when they brought him home, bruised and mangled! Now, tell me, shall this poor old man go down to his grave a maimed and helpless creature, without some aid from the cause of his affliction ?” During this delivery Closegrip was noticed to be very much agitated, and, rising as the lawyer finished, he sobbed: i “Judge,, ’scuse my breakin’ in, but I must speak.” “Go on,” commanded the court. “I d'dn’t know it was so bad as it is until until the gentleman thar sot down; an’ es ye’ll let me, I’ll—l’ll—here he fainted. “You’ll what?” asked his Honor. “Just raise them figgefs on the railroad for a few dollars more. Make it a thousand instid of five hundred — won’t ye, Judge ?” It is needless to add that the Judge didn’t. —Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.

A Simple Remedy.

“Gracious me!” said a pretty girl, making a wry face, “what a terrible bore these dudes are, catching up with a girl every now and then, and walking two or three squares.” , “Two or three squares are not so bad as two or three dozen,” replied her companion. “No, but they are so bad I can’t endure it much longer.” “-Why don’t you do as I do, and they*’!! never come near you ?” “How’s that?” “Why, just ask them to lend vou a nickel to pay your car-fare. It scares them away worse than a cat turned loose in a pantry full of mice.”— Mer~ chant Traveler.

Judge Lord’s Only Mistake.

The late Judge Otis Phillips Lord, of Massachusetts, is said to have made but one direct mistake on a question of law while on the bench, and that was of a statute which had just been amended. On discovering his mistake, and that it was due to the action just taken by the Legislature, he said: “Well, the good Lord only knows what the Massachusetts Legislature hasn’t done in the last six months. ” — New York Tribune. “‘Never Take the Horse Shoe from the Door’may be a very good song,” remarked Yon Boozel, “but if some fellow would write one entitled ‘Never Take the Keyhole from the Door,! it would strike a popular chord.” An ounce of good cheer is worth a ton of melancholy.— Samuel Smiles.

After taking several bottles each of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic I got entirely over my sickness.

From Mr. Harley P. Hopkins, of Provldeuce, B. L He Is Cared of Consumption by Hr. Sebenck’s Medicines, After Being Given Up to Die by Some of the Best Physicians in the City. Db. J. H. Sohence: Dear Sir: I hove been cored of what three of the best physicians of this city told me was Consumption of the Longs, by the use of ydur medicines. I was first attacked with the disease in October, 1380, and although I was from that time continually under tha care of a physician, I grew worse and worse, until at fast I was confined to my bed. I can hardly say that I was first attacked with the disease in 1380, for my lungs had been weak for many years previous to this, and I would quite often have severe pain in my breast, if I took the least cold, or exerted myself toe much In any way. I grew worse, my cough became very bad: I bad night sweats so severe that my bed through the night would be ae wet aa though water had been thrown over me. I was continually raising blood and large quantities of offensive matter from my lungs, and at last had all the well-known symptoms of Consumption in its last stages. At the leanest of my family, my physician called in two other doctors of this city, and they, after an examination, agreed that my case was hopeless. They informed my wife that I had better be toldtbat I could not live, as ray time would be very short for arranging my worldly affairs. They also said that no medicine would be of any use to me. Hie next -day my friend. Mr. H. I. Leith, hearing of my condition, sent me a bottle of your Pn nmolc Syrup, thinking it might relieve my cough, and make my expectoration easier. I began using it, never even hoping *ha* i it would cure me. but findrag great relief from its use. When the first bottle was gone I sent and got more; so I continued it until I had used Seven or eight bottles. All this time I was in bed, and waa so weak that I liad to be lifted. This was not a difficult thing to do, however, aa I only weighed about ninety pounds. Aa I have said. I commen-ed the use of tbs medicine with no thought of its caring me, but after taking the eighth bottle I would sometimes feel a little hungry, a thing I had not before done for many months. I omitted to mention that after taking four or five bottles of the Pulmonic Nyrup I too began biking foe Seaweed Tonic and I also took some of tha Mandrake Pills. It is needless for me to give yon an account of all my feelings during my recovery. Of course It was alow, bat it was also ante. I gradually gained strength, the character of what I raised from my longs was changed—not being so offensive—and at last I waa able to get np and walk about my room. From this time my recovery waa rapid.. I gained flesh fast, and soon went outdoors, and now I am entirely well, a wonder to all my acquaintances who saw me when I waa so low. I weigh IS pounds, appetite good, and I can truly say that I never felt better in my life. I consider your medicines aa wonderful in their effects. They have saved my life, and I feel so thankful to you that I am anxious that all who are suffering with long troubles should know bow good they are. Of course. I can give a better account of my cam in telling ofst than fit writing, and if any who read this are interested, they are welcome to call on me at my residence. Yours truly, HARLEY P. HOPKINS.

He waa considered a Consumptive, in the last stages of the diaeaae. by his physician and friends, and I believe that his recovery is entirely due to foe use of Dr.Schenck’s Medicines. May 13.1381.
