sincere pleasure to award premium to Mr..

There were other competitors who exhibited
some beautiful specimens. We should have
been happy to reward them, but we bid them
never to despair. They may bear off the palm
the next time, and if they are true lovers Of
their art, they will "pick their Aints and try

The floral exhibition was not-as extensive as

suffered by FROST and there are very few flowers

SLAVERY OF THE PREss-The person who
penned the following deserves a pension. They
are our sentiments. Yes, every word of them.
None know the drudgery attendant upon the
publication of a daily paper, except those who
have had experience. The writer says:
/ know Of no state of slavery upon earth like
that attendant upon newspaper life, whether it
be rs directors or subordinates. Your task is
never ended, your responsibility never secured,
the last days work is forgotten at the close Of
the day on which it appears, and the dragon of
tomorrow waits open-mouthed to devour your
thoughts, and snap up one morsel more of your
vexed existence. Be as successful as it is in
the nature Of things to be--be Indifferent to
praise, and lion-hearted to blame--still will the
human frame wear out before its time, and
your body, if not your mind, exhibit some
symptoms of dry rot.

MADAME soNTAG.

This distinguished professional lady will give
another concert this evening at Risley's Va
rieties," better known as " Iron Hail. conve
niently situated on the avenue. Her concert
on Wednesday evening, was attended by as
brilliant and fashionable an assemblage as we
have ever seen upon such an occasion. In.
deed, the hall was uncomfortably crowded
Every one, however, was pleased, as they could
not fail to be, with her performances sustain.
ing as she did her classic reputation as one OF
the finest artistes this century has produced.
The bill tonight is one of even more attraction
than that last presented We will hear her
in some Of those beautiful ballads, the mere sen.
timent of which touches the heart, without the
powerful music of Madame Sontag. Such songs,
coming from her lips, with her voice, with her
fine appreciation of the poets idea, and with
her superior artistic excellence cannot fail to
overwhelm the audience with rapturous delight.
"Auld Robin Gray The last rose of sum-
mer," "Comin' thro' the rye" and such de-
lightful old ballads, sung by Madame Sontag,
force upon the minds of those who hear her q
correct critique Of the beauties of these touch
ing specimens Of nature and eloquent poetry.
We are really glad that Madame Sontag, in
the programme for this evening, will give US
good proportion Of that music, which most
touches the American heart interspersed with q
proportion Of what our old Virginia friend calls
the music, hy-fa-lu-tin. We Judge best of good
music by contrast. 1t must not be regarded as
unkind when we suggest that care should be
taken by the ushers that persons who pay for
specific seats should be accommodated as per
contract. Much complaint was made at the
last concert in consequence of the failure to
do SO, .s .4 .,.a.. 4"

Discovery of Mines.-It is stated that silver
mine has been recently discovered in Stanley
county, IN. CO. which is believed to be immensely
rich The vein is said TO be three and half feet
wide, and has thousands Of sheets and Jumps Of
silver all through il. II is estimated that the ore
is worth 81 so to 50 90 for every eight pounds,
but its value has yet to be fully developed.

Regarding the capability of the public to
Judge the value of medical remedies in curing
disease, quote Archbishop Whately, of Ire
and
"Nothing is more common than to hear
person state confidently, as from his own ex-
perience, that such and such patient was
cured by this or that remedy; whereas, all that
covered. A termination and cure are two
vastly different things
The above, in our opinion, is q sufficient re-
futation of the absurd claims of humbug to
truth. We like to be deceived, and do not ike
to have the veil torn from our eyes. Hence
we account for the ill-temper of the adherents
of the humbug school, when the errors of their
teachers are exposed to the light of day.

Smithsonian Institutlon.--By mere chance
we yesterday procured printed copy of the
seventh annual report OF the board of regents of
this institution, showing the operations, expendi-
lures and condition of the same during the year
1882 and the proceedings Of the regents cup to
date'-February IL, 1853.
We learn from the paper first in order-from
Professor Henry the secretary-that the institu-
ton has promoted astronomy; advanced geogra-
ply; established an extended system of meteor
oogy advanced the science of geology made
important contributions to botany; published
several important original papers on physiology,
comparative anatomy, zoology, and different
branches of descriptive history advanced terres-
trial magnetism; collected and published the
statistics of the Libraries of the United States and
perfected plan of stereotyping catalogues, which
will render effective, combined whole, all the
| scattered libraries of the country.
The institution has also been instrumental in
directing attention to American antiqui.s;s, and
"has awakened such an interest in the subject as
will tend to the collection and study of all the facts
which can be gathered relative TO the ancient in
habitants ofthis continent. II has also rendered
available for the purposes of the eihnologist and
phanthropist the labors of our missionaries among
the Dakotas, by publishing a volume on the Ian.
guagc of this tribe Of Indians and has done good
service to comparative phology by the dstribu-
ton Of directions for collecting Indian vocabula
ries." II has established an extended system of
literary and scientific exchanges both foreign and
domestic.
These, " the secretary says, " are the fruits Of
what is called the system of active operations OF
the institution, and its power produce other and
continuous results is only limited by the amount
OF the income which can be appropriated TO it,
since each succeeding year has presented new
and important fields for its cultivation" ~"
The proposition, he remarks, is frequently urged
upon the regents, by persons who have not duly
considered the will of Smithson, or who fail 10 ap.
preciate the Importance ofthe present plan, that
large portion of the income should be devoted to
the diffusion Of knowledge Of some popular branch
Of practical art /. and there may be fear that
timid policy on the part of the friends Of the in
stitution will lead them to favor such plan"
What the professor fears, we ardently hope.
The report of Mr.. Jewett in charge Of the
library, shows that during the year 1852 the num-
Der of books, by exchanges and donations, pur-
chase, copyright and deposite, increased TO twenty
one thousand seven hundred and one.
The document to which we have referred, gives
an account of the operations in detail, and contains
suggestions TO Congress with view to add to the
efficiency ofthe institution. ~.

your attention to a paper of the Zamia hor-

rare and fine. | have also added packet Of
the roots of gladiolus prittacinus, and another

We have deposited these roots and seeds with
the executive committee, whose duty it is, un-
der the 18th article of the constitution of your
society, to take charge of and distribute or pre-
serve all seeds, plants, &c.
In proceeding to the direct execution of our
duty, the committee must express the great sat
isfaction which they feel at the marked i'm
provement that has taken place in the cultiva-
ton of flowers, in this city and its vicinity.
New florists have appeared among us--new and
splendid flowers have been introduced-and a
general taste begins to display its benefits in
the beautiful productions which they have
spread before us.
We should have been happy if more pre-
NUNS had been placed at our disposition to
reward those who deserved them; but those
premiums do not exceed six in number and
we are compelled to con6ne our distribution to
the following competitors:
No. !. The prize of ten dollars, to Mr.. Guest
