EDITOR CoSMOPLLrE: desire, as an unsolicited
tribute 10 the merits of Helmbold's Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself, to
say that after Insulting many eminent ply scians
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies,
in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated
kidney and bladder diseases, from which I have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested to me Helmbold's Buchu which
commenced using With little faith, and no apparent
bene ficia results for about month At the expir-
alton of that time however, thought commenced
to experience slight relief, which encouraged to
persevere in its and now, at the expiration OF
four months, although am an infrm old man,
nearly 10 years of age and consequently medicines
cannot be expected To favorably affect me they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr. HembolGps
valuable discovery, that feel ought to publicly
record the fact as an acknowledgement to him and
q valuable suggestion to the public.

Why Lace Is Costly.

Many people wonder why what is
termed real lace-as lace made by
hand, TO distinguish it from that
made by machine, which Is called
imitation is so costly. The follow
ing from a foreign exchange explains
the reason
The manufacture Of lace is carried
to its highest perfection in Belgium.
The finest specimen Of Brussels lace
Is so complicated as to require the Ia
Dor of seven persons on one piece, and
each operative is employed at distinct
features of the work. The thread used
is of exquisite fineness, which is spun
in dark, underground rooms, where
IL is sufficiently moist to prevent the
thread from separating. It's so deli
cate as scarcely to be seen, and the
room is so arranged that all the light
admitted shall fall upon the work.
1t is such material that renders the
genuine Brussels ground so costly.
On a piece Of Nalenciennes not two
inches wide, from two to three hum
dred bObbins are sometimes used, and
for the larger width as many as eight
hundred, on the same pillow. The
most valuable Nalenciennes is deter
mined by the number of times the
0oOOlns have been twisted in making
the ground the more frequent the
twists the clearer and more beautiful

sells OF this lace alone to the value OF
over $4,000 600. Chantilly lace is al
ways black, is used chiefly for wells
and iOunces. It is very fine, and is
extensively worn. Mechlin lace is
made at Mechlin, Antwerp, and other
localities.

SIGNALLING THE APPROACH OF
STORMs.-Our government, following
the example of the English and some
other European governments, and
directed thereto by an act Of Congress
passed at the last session, has made
arrangements to have meteorological
observations taken at various military
stations throughout the country, and
to have Geographic notice given on
the seacOast and on the Northern lakes
of the approach and force of storms.
The practical importance Of such an
undertaking has been sufficiently
proved in Europe to warrant us in
expecting from it great advantages,
particularly in regard to u shipping
Vessels in port can be, by a timely
warning of an approaching storm,
put in a condition Of safety, and YES
sells about to leave port a be detain-
ed in case of expected danger. In
various other ways it will prove prae-
tically beneficial, to say nothing of its
results in a scientific point of view.

SHARP LAW PRACTICE IN CONNEC-
TICUT.-It has just leaked out that by
an act passed by the last Legislature
of Connecticut no person can be con-
victed of any burglary committed in
the State prior to July 5, 1870. At
that date a law was passed fixing for
the crime of burglary a penalty differ
ent from that Of any preceding law
and consequently annulling all such
laws. OF 8 it is impossible, under
the new law, to try criminals whose
offences were committed under the
old, and the worst feature Of the case
is that this error was intentional. A
number of lawyers who had cases
pending under the old laws went to
New Haven and secured the services
of a distinguished member Of the bar
and of the House, who succeeded in
getting the law passed so as to acquit
their clients and defeat the ends of
Justice Worcester Spy.

SLEEPING FLOwERS.-AlmOst all
flowers sleep during the night. The
marigOld goes to bed with the sun.
and with him rises weeping. Many
plants are so sensitive that their leaves
close during the passage of a cloud.
The dandeliOn opens at five or six in
the morning, and shuts at nine in the
evening. The common daisy shuts
up its blossom in the evening, and
opens its day's-eyen to meet the
early beams of the morning sun. The
crOcus, tulip, and many Others, close
their blossoms at different hours tow
ard evening. The ivy-leaved lettuce
opens at eight in the morning, and
closes forever at four in the afternoon,
The night-fiOweTing ceTus turns night
into day. 1t begins to expand its
magnificent, sweet-scented blossom in
the twilight, it is full blown at mid
night, and closes never to open again
with the dawn of the day. In a clO-
yer field not a leaf opens until after
sunrise. So says a celebrated English
author, who has devoted much time
to the study Of plants, and often
watched them during their quiet
slumbers. Those plants which seem
to be awake all night, he styles the
bats and owls of the vegetable king
