HISTOTT or MAINE.

We have received advance sheets OF fo!th-
coming History of Maine, by John 5. c. Abbott,
which will give a full and complete account Of the
state from the earliest discovery Of this region by
the Mortimer until the present time. such
work has been very much needed and we are
pleased to know that the want is to be supplied.
Mr.. Abbott is known as an accomplished writer
lie is native of this State and received his edu-
cation a Bowdon college. lie is now seventy
years Of age and expects this will be one OF the
last as il will be Of the most agreeable, lAoolN
of his life. The publisher says
at is safe to assert that no History of Maine, OF
such comprehensive character has ever before
been published and as the Centennial jubilee OF
the American Republic approaches, it seems fit
ing that such a work should be written at this
time. Therefore, the publisher feels confident
that his efforts to record the great achievements
of the State from its infancy to its present proud
position of prosperity and refinement, will be col
daily appreciated by the reading community.
The work has been prepared with the greatest
care. Every important event has been presented
in a concise, but pcrspcuous and comprehensive
manner, omittins, however, tedious details, which
are ever iIhsome to the common reader. The ma
terials have been gathered from the most authen-
tic sources, and both author and publisher believe
they have succeeded in producing the most ac-
ceptable History Of Maine ever offered to the
public.
The Engravngs introduced greatly enhance
the value of the work, especial care having been
taken to secure accuracy in all the subjects den-

The trade of the United States with Canada
shows a very gratifying increase. In 1872 Cana
da exported to this country S36000o00 worth of
goods, which was increased to forty and half
millions in ls73 but fell to thirtyfve millions last
wear. The imports, however, showed regular
growth from $50, 500 900 in 1872 to S 100000 in
1873, and S54 100000 in 1874. The aggregate
trade was nearly seventy-two millions IN 49,.
eighty eight In ilIions in 1873. and ninety millions
in 1874. The statistics also show that we are
sharing more and more equally with Great Britain
the advantages of this important market. In
1872 the imports from the United States were
thirty-three per cent. of all the imports in Canada,
in 1873 they were thirty-seven per cent, IN 1874
they were more than forty two per cent. The
imports from Great Britain have not increased at
all during the three years. Some ofthe free trade
doctrinaires see in these facts reason why nego-
tations for reciprocity treaty should be renewed,
but the argument is slightly obscure.-Bostoh i'd

A WONDERFUL. PLANT.
From Mobile RcgiSter.l

"Wednesday night we were called
upon by Il gentleman whose fine
flowers and plants have become fnmil-
lar to everyone resident in Mobile, who
invited us to his nursery to witness /,
rare and beautiful sight the opening
OF the Night-bl coming CereHs. Those
who are cOnversant with the natural
history of flowers are aware that the
blooming Of this species is indeed /,
rarity, occurring only ut long intervals,
and after the bud has blown remain
ing open only four or five hours and
then closing forever. 1t is indeed one
of those children of nature of which the
poet says.
This same flower that blooms day
Tomorrow will be dying.
We arrived on the gcntlcman's
grounds shortly after II O'Clock, and
were shown II very commons looking
climbing vine bearing Il single bud,
apparently on the point of blooming.
After examining it we turned and
walked away to examine other objects
of interest, and returning in about
twenty minutes were surprised to see
the progress the flower had made.
Around the bud were what seemed to
be spikes or thOrnS several inches in
length, inside of which we could sec
the pure white OF the flower itself.
Standing there watching it we could
see it slowly but steadily expanding,
and never having witnessed anything
of the kind before, we concluded to
watch the flower and see the end
Steadily the covering Of spikes expand
ed, the bud opened, and we were able
to catch Il glimpse of the inside.
Wider and wider apart came the
thOrnS, until II few seconds before the
clock tOiicd the "noOn of night" with
a sudden movement the whole flower
sprang open, and II sight Of marvellous
beauty presented itself. The outer
covering of thornS stood out from the
base of the flower in II circle, each point
separate and distinct, and forming a
largestar on cncircling thcspotlcss leaves
within. The flower itself rcscmblcd a
water lilly somewhat, though mucl,
larger and much more beautiful. II
was about the size Of 4 china dinner
plate, Of a delicate yclloWish tint with
tiny, cx9uisitcly formed petals, and
the odor cXhalcd was Intoxicating in
its sweetness. For many minutes
none of the party who were present
spoke everything was silent in the
presence Of this bcautcouS piece OF
Gods handiwOrk, and all were struck
dumb with admiration. Then as with
one voice, all exclaimed, elbow beau
tiful - 1t was indeed beautiful, and
its splendor borrowed an additional
! charm from the rarity Of the occasion
| We saw the flower this morning, and
| from its appearance one would never
suspect that it rad once blooncd in al
! the glory Of the tar-famcd "Njght
! blooming Cercus."
