What do our readers think of an azalea
with three thousand blossoms? Mr.. C. S.
Sargent, Professor of Horticulture at
Harvard, has lately thrown open to the
public his fine collection of azaleas at Brook
line, Mass. OF his collection Mr.. Gerre E.
Waring, in a note to the Nation. says
This collection is not only well worth a
journey to Boston, but it is the finest exhi-
bl:iOn Of azaleas the world has ever seen,
the loan exhibition at Kew and the fine dis
play at the Paris Exposition not excepted.
There are not many more than two hun
bred plants; but every one of them would
be considered an acquisition in any private
collection, and most of them are incompara-
bly, fine specimens. The queen of the house
Is Decora, sixteen feet in circumference,
Its perfectly-shaped dome being about FIVE
feet high, and having more than three
thousand superb blossoms. This plant is
nearly thirty years old, and has always
been trained with the greatest care. To
certain class of minds, its quality will be
best expressed by the statement that 81 900
has been offered for it; and the average
quality OF the collection may be estimated
from the fact that it is not at all out of place
among its present companions. Professor
Sargent. in connection with Mr.. Hume
well, of Wellesley, is now arranging for
show of rhododendrons, on Boston Com
mon, late in May, which in its way will be
equally remarkable"

Another iendlsh murder in Kansas is re-
ported, and these are the particulars of the
horrible affair: James Erickson, of Wet
more, who had been acquitted for an al
legged attempt at rape on the wife of one
Marquette, returned to the house of Mar
quette on Saturday morning, and when the
latter came to the door shot him dead. He
then took Marquette's two small children
to neighbours house and left them, saying
that he had killed their father and was
going back to kill their mother. An alarm
was given, but the neighbors feared to
enter the house until reinforced. Upon
entering, they found Mrs. Marquette lying
on the bed in a nude state, dead, shot in
seven places. Erickson was lying across
her body, also dead. He had ravished the
woman before killing her, and then sho
himself.

Nearly halfof the revenue of the British
government comes from beer. spirits and
tobacco. The Nonconiormist. Staid
English journal, says, in view of this fact.
I'VE are drinking ourselves out Of half the
difficulties of taxation The entire reve-
nue. Of the past year was &c, SOS, 40 pounds
Of this amount 81 ,69I, l53 pounds were de-
rived from the sources We have named, and
all but 6,927 ,93l pounds from beer and
spirits. "Such totals of drink revenue"
says this paper, were never set down on
earth before; and these sums represent
duties only, not the cost to the consumers.
1t is, indeed, a mighty Pyriphlegethon Of
alcohol which pours flaming down the
British stomach, and it gives lively idea
OF the price in vital force at which England
performs her work and labor under the sun.
when we see what ceaseless tide of stimu-
lants repairs the exhaustion Of her toilinr
millions" With grim humor it is added:
I'VE drink and forget our sorrows, we smoke
andour debts disappear. Bya little more ap-
plication TO the same pleasant industry. we
shall soon dispense with the income tax.
Let every one drink and smoke one-third
more than at present, and a still more
marvellous budget will gladden. the ma
ton But there Is more serious side
to the picture. . The figures above quoted
signify much besides totals Of smoke and
spirits. They represent good deal of I'M
moral seli-stupefaction, and a good deal of
excess that ought to be called drunkenness.
Tney stand for a world of artificial excite
ment that wears ont the power Of life: Of

THE VIENNA EXHIBITION OF 1873.
\ correspondent says one may form an
idea of the exhibition building by imagin-
ing wide and short gridiron, with a round
disk in the centre, one long bar crossing
the disk and extending the whole width of
the building, while the grand entrance is
on the short bar that crosses the disk. This
disk Is the rotunda the short bars are the
transepts. each being 2s2 feet long the
long bar. 5000 feet in length, being the
nave, at each end of which Is a secondary
entrance; while at each end of each tran
sept l. another entrance, for convenience of
exit and ingreSs. The principal entrance Is
TO the southwest, and detached; and at
little distance to the southeast is the
fine art building, and still beyond this is a
small pavilion for a collection of articles of
rirtu, antique and medieval, which, it Is
said, will form one of the most remarkable
collections of the kind ever seen. To the
northeast Is a hall the whole length of the
main building, and parallel to it, devoted
to the machinery The transepts are each
so feet in width, except the central. which
Is 50, and are seventeen in number but as
the enormous space given by their aggre- |
gate Is already found insufficient, the space |
between some Of them i to be noored and |
rooted in. All around this centre structure
are to be found, among the trees, restau-
rants, school-houscs, dwelling-houses Of DIFF
ieront nations, the inevitable beer-houses,
and a printing establishment whence the
Neue Free Prcsse Of Vienna will be issued.
Two young Americans, Messrs. Willard
and Brewer, of the Erie (Pa.) Dispatch,
will, it is said, issue an American news
paper during the continuance of the ex-
hibition.

Judge Barrett's opinion concerning the
enforcement of of our liquor law was plain
ly given at the late term of the Windbam
county court. In sentencing one John
Manning, Of Brattleboro, to four years i'm

marked that intemperance was evidently
the cause OF the crime, and that although
the offence merited punishment, the people
Oh brattieboro could not with very good
grace complain IT such offenders should es-
cape the just penalty of the law, when they
naa the power IN their hands to do away
with the cause which prompted the Of.
