A PRETTY CoNcE1r.-We saw yesterday in
the parlor of friend, very beautiful con-
ceit. 1t is of course, the fancy Of a lady,
and consists Of the burr Of "a pine tree placed
in wine glass half full of water, and from
bet,veen the different layers of the burr is
shooting forth green blades, bright, beautiful,
refreshing. For a little thing we have seen
nothing that SO pleased US with its beauty
and novelty. And the secret is this; the
burr was found dried and opened; the differ
ent circles were sprinkled with grass seed,
and it was placed in a wine glass, with water
in as above. In few days the moisture
and nourishment gave the burr life and
health, the different circles closed ard bur
led within themselves the grass seed, and a
few days more gave to the seed life, sprout,
and growth, and now a pyramid of living
green, beautifully relieved by the sombre
hue of the burr, is the result-as pretty and
novel parlor ornament as we have for a
long while seen. We do not know whether
the idea was original with the lady; but we
do know that its success is beautiful.

benefit, that the Arabs have two legends in
regard to it, One is, that the camel tool;
offense at not being allowed to lead the pro

the Allah, as a just punishment for his vani

and perpetual warning to Others, never per

river:
The stream is so rapidly filling up with
sand and tailings from mining Operations as
we are informed by an up-country resident,
that several ferries are frequently compelled
to suspend Operations, owing to the forma-
of islands in track Of the boats. The chan
mel is changing continually, and eventually
the river must wash down its banks, to the
destruction of rich agricultural land.
