THE DESERT CAcrys.-Thn Balli-
more En'e:n'isn tells a good joke that
was PLAYED Off Oh an old gentleman, on
All FOOLS Day, whose chief hobbies are
botany and minrraogy. In the former
department. Of natural history he is quite
an enllusiast-and thankfully y receives
from ship masters and travellers any
rare specimens that may be- forwarded to
him. This morning he received very
antique flower pot with some very
strange devices on it--this pot con-
tincd a very rare specimen of the
Cact"s,ard was accompanied BY letter
purporting 10 he in tic Arabian, which
the consideratr fnrwartlcr of the variety
translated as follows:
Mr. s.: This is rare snccimen Of the
DrStrt Cactus which nourishGs only
in burning and sandy soil. 1t is indigo
nous with The Arabian deserts, and once
in fifty years produces flaming flower,
which throws out such excessive heat,
that the caravans frequently use them 10
cook their meals with.
The old gentlemln rubbed his hands
in ecslacv at receiving SO valuable an
addition 10 his already curious colIec-
,ions. He examined the plant with great
scrutiny, and called in large number Of
his friends to admire il-lhough its APP
pearance was any thing but attractive.
Many were the learned opinions then
EXPRESSED on the plan and the rare
h,abi,n MS that accompanied it-:hr
Historical and Botanical Societies would
possess such rare trcasure--when alas!
