The Centennial Horticultural Exhibit
tion promises to be very interesting. or
this correspondent says;
The Horticultural Grounds comprise
forty acres. The space available for
outside exhibits-besides the walks,
borders, building sites and spaces for
ornamental gardening-is about eight
and one-third acres. This is pretty
nearly all applied for by about one hun
dred and twenty domestic and foreign
exhibitors. The walks are two miles in
extent.
Parterres and sunken gardens are laid
off and planted SO as to show leading
features of ornamental gardening, such
as carpet-bedding, ribbon and geometri-
cal gardening; and these will bloom
near the opening time Of the Exhibition.
About fifty thousand Towering and or.
Iiamental varieties Of plants and foliage
will decorate the beds and represent diff
ferent fiower-gardening methods. There
is to be an impressive show of forest
trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and ptauts
OF commerce. All the representative
trees OF this country will be exhibited,
from the California red wood and the
Maine pine down; and we are promised
some shrubs Of recent Introduction from
China and Japan. Fountains, statuary,
kiosks, summer-h0uses and other garden
adornments will help to beautify Git is
to be hoped without overcrowding) the
delightfully."- situated and shaded Aorti-
cultural Grounds.
The Horticultural Building stands on
an artificial elevation, ornamented by
artistic terraces and reached by flights
of marble steps. Its bright colors and
graceful proportions render it perhaps
the most attractive OF the principal five
buildings Of the Exhibition. On tine
north and south sides OF the central mair
hall-the ceilings of which are brilliantly
garnished and the floors elaborately
payed-are the four greenhouses, eacl
thirty by one hundred feet. These ant
the main hall are heated by hot watel
and set apart for choice plants of com
merce and exotics. The main hall, eight,
| by two hundred and thirty feet, has il
the center marble fountain surrounded
by choice tropical plants, statuary an
specimens of ceramic art.

in or near the vicinity of Wall Street.
Among the customers of the house OF Alex.

During the long and successful experience OF

the amount of business done by this house in the

How they manage to convert $40 to $40, $40 into

BRITISH GUIANA.

The Government has an open premium of
100000, for any person who might introduce
into the Colony, machinery capable of filling
the soil, and performing other work connected
with the manufacture of sugar, at a moderate
expense. The Royal Gazette, in publishing
an elaborate paper on the Demerara-drainage-
system, advocates the Introduction of the
sub-soil- drainage, in contradistinction to the
open drainage and suggests that q portion of
the sum voted for premiums should be
allotted edwards a full and carefully con-
Quoted experiment on that system" Better
to put the advantages of this sub-soil drainage
before the public, our cotem re-quOtes the
annexed passage from the paper referred to =
And who would cavil at spending $40 an
acre to ensure thorough good drainage for 20
years, add 18th to the area of land, improve
the quality of the land, save the waste of soil,
increase the yield of sugar SO per cent. per
acre, manure the canes with the Ammonia in
the air brought down by the rain, irrigate the
land, stop the filling up of the mouth of the
river with the best of the soil in British
Guiana, and last, not least, reduce or wipe off
the enormous cost of immigration, and the an.
noyanoes attending on it to the Planters.

THE EMPEROR OF BRAZIL.
(From the European Mal.)

Like many of his illustrious predecessors OF
the House of Braganza, Don Pedro H.,
Emperor of Brazil, is not only a prince, but
q scholar and a man of science. With more
truth than was contained in Bacon's magnii-
centIy-hyperbolical compliment to James l.,
it may be said of the Emperor Of Brazil that
he is endowed with "that triplioity which was
with great veneration ascribed to the ancient
llermes-the power and fortune of q king,
the knowledge and illumination of o priest,
and the learning and universally of a philo-
sOpher.' The Imperial tourist at present in
New York speaks and writes with perfect
f%uency the English, French, German, Spanish.
and Italian languages while in Hebrew and
Arabic he is likewise reputed to be no mean
proficient. He takes great pleasure in the
society of men of letters and science, and is
is ardent a lover Of art as he is a hater of
slavery. Notwithstanding the praiseworthy
mOdesty, we'll nigh amounting to shyness, of this
imperial parsonage, the citizens of New York
have not been deferred from striving to do
their utmost to make much of him. Live
Emperors In the Empire City have not yet
become as plentiful as black.berries; and al
though the dynastio rank Of Don Pedro may
by American puriSts be held as slightly in
contravention of the Republican idea, it has
not been forgotten that the dominions of the
Imperial traveller are situated a long way
from Mason and Dixon's line, and that, from
an American point Of view, an Emperor of
Brazil is as politically harmless as an Emperor
of Austria.
