The flower show at Horticultural Hal
this week is adecided success. First pre-
miums were awarded yesterday to %severaI
florists for fine plants, cut flowers, etc.
Geo. j. Clark agent for LcMoult's patent
process for preserving natural flowers was
awarded the first premium for n large
wreath of natural flowers, picked over
three ears ago, and which has been pre-
served in all its freshness by this process.
This wreath has been exhibited at several
flower exhibitions in Euro,e. and has at.
tracted much admiration as well as atten.
ton wherever exhibited. The most care
ful inspection fails to show any difference
between this wreath, three years Of age,
and one, the flowers of which were cut
this week. i.ff p. at .
1t is thought that 500. 600 will be re-
CURED to meet the expenses of the great
international Regatta on the Delaware to
take place at Philadelphia uuder the aus
pieces of the Schuvlkil Navy in 1876. The
requisite funds will doubtless be raised
without difficulty. a|l Fol- .a.
Since the Senatorial contest in Mass,
the best feature of which was that Whit
tiers party didn't split. Whittier re-
ceiving Banks vote every time,-we have
the Arkansas middle. Brooks v. Baxtor,
which shall it be? Why don't they dip
the penny to see which shall occupy the
the Gubernatorial chair? Why don't the
people see to it that each state shall have
tao governors, aud thus save bloodshed ?
Why do men love Office so? Babcock's
extinguisber is useless in this case.
