| A FLOWER SHow.-If any of our citizens
ware brave enough to brave the blasts OF the
north wind--that howled and shrieked yester-
| day as if it intended to blow to atoms whoever
| might venture abroad-and visit the spacious
| greenhouse of Miss Jones on Park street, they
might have exclaimed,
Snow is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer"
upon entering the crystal edifce with its warm,
moist balmy air and its wealth of flowers of
every hue, its trailing vines, and broad leaved
plants of tropical growth. Thousands of roses
from the incipient bud to the immense double
souuenier Fannie with its symmetrical shape,
delicate perfume, and exquisite pink tint
Beds of gorgeous panses whose many colorod
velvet petals place them among the court beau
ties of the floral kingdom. Beautiful azaleas,
sweet mignonette, heaths in abundance, pinks
of every species, geraniums bergonias, rare cam
elias, smilax and iyies all go to make up the
harmonious whole. We hope our readers will
not fail to pay call before the end of the
week.
BELsHAzzAR's FEAsT.-The first presenta-
ton of this favorite cantata at City Hall last
ny euc IAuClcut udrInOuy SOClcty3 was
very successful in a musical point of view, al
though on account of the severity of the
weather, the audience was smaller than it
would otherwise have been, the hall being
about half full The absence of appropriate
scenery and costumes so necessary to give the
proper effect to a composition of this kind, de-
tracted somewhat from the interest of the per-
Torrance, although the cantata was well sung
throughout, and the accompaniment by the
piano and orchestra was all that could be de-
sired. The choruses were rendered with great
spirit and effect and the leading solo parts
were admirably sustained. Mrs. Merrill as the
Queen, never sung better, and she displayed
the remarkable power of her pure, sweet voice,
to great advantage. Mr.. Will Stockbridge as
Daniel, Mr. Watts as the King, and Mr.. Nor
gan as the Angel, were also worthy of the high
est praise. The entire performance was I'M
marred by any hitch or defect, and everything
passed off smoothly and agreeably. This even
ing the cantata will be repeated, the proceeds
to be donated to the Martha Washington So
ciety. Let there be a full house.

Now that we are to receive fifteen mil
lions of dollars from Great Britain as the
award decreed by the Geneva Tribunal, it
is an important and somewhat difficult
matter to distribute it among the
sufferers by the depredations OF
British Confederate cruisers. There
must be some kind of a court to hear and
determine the claims on the fund, and
General Butler the other day introduced in
the House bill creating such tribunal,
but the details of it are kept secret. Very
many of the claims, perhaps amounting to
the larger share of the money, are held by
insurance companies, who during the rebel
lion charged war risks upon all vessels, and
hence made very large profits in spite Of
their occasional losses. There is strong
feeling that they ought to be excluded from
the benefits of the award, and it is SAFE
that General Buffers bill is intended to &c

THE time has not come when the propo'
sition of the Enquirer, to follow the Eng
lish fashion of uniting different banners,
would be acceptable to the American peo-
pie. And, then, the historical indicidents
are not parallel. Had we been two differ
ent peoples united under one banner, the
common flag might have a happy sig
nificance, and be suggestive of glorious
memories. The symbol of national unity
and fraternity is matter of much less
consequence than the spirit of it as exhibit
ed in the hearts of the people. Give us
the substance or actual life out of which
the symbol springs, and the representative
| idea will take care Of itself.

A FRENCH CHEMIST has recently an
bounced that silicate of soda is a preserva-
i've against fermentation. Experiments
made with glucose and with yeast showed
hat silicate of soda, in small doses, would
prevent alcoholic fermentation. Milk and
neat treated with the same substance were
iot subject to putrefactive action. From
hese experiments 1t is inferred that silicate
# soda is powerful agent against putrid
ermentation, and may, therefore, be en-
ployed for the curing of meat.
