While Floral Hall is reasonably well filed
with the beautiful offerings Of Nature, proba-
bly, no point there attracts qnite as much at
tention VA the moss covered Temple at the
south end Of the institution. Its iOor, col

ers but the most notable item in the vicinity
is rustic stand, the handwork of Mrs Jenni-
son. Its base is dog-wood sappling, with
upright limbs supporting the top the base is
almost hidden with wildwood flowers, plants
and shrubs, and the dog-wood boughs are trel-
Used with ivies, which are creeping and reach
ing out in every direction; the top is of bark,
and is covered with all manner Of wildwood
lcuriosities, toad.stools, oddities from the dead
logs of the forests, moss dandelion, wild flow
ers creeping vines pendant from the tops, and
spiling off in every direction. The place, in
a word, looks like fairys boudoir, hid par

tangled Wildwood and, in the Illusion we ex-
pected when the wind waited the pendant trel-

some transparent needle-work
There is genuine Southern cotton plant
on exhibition near the north temple; all who
want to see noted Southern institution,
and indeed, "the king" should inspect il; and
while they are about it, they should also make
an eye-note of the mammoth Indian plant neal
the centre of the Hall, the property of Mr.
Rreene. I.s leaves are enormous, and large
enough for fans. These Southern visitors are
amicable links connecting the people above
and below Mason and Dixon's, and attracted
much attention. The cactus family is large.
