structure Of peculiar construction, re-
|sembling q public building more than
a private residence, and, occupying
the highest ground in the city, in the
most aristocratic section, always at
ltracted the attention of visitors. It
cost about $3.50, 600, and the furniture
over $l0t 900, to say nothing Of the

The cultivation of the sunHower is
said to meet with great favor from the
planters in British Guiana. These
flowers, which flourish in marshy
places, yield from eighty to one hum
bred bushels of seed to the acre, and
each buslel furnishes from five to sew
en- quarts of an oil which is excellent
for illumitting purposes, besides be-
ing Of use i'll mixing Of paints. Its
flavor gives it value in cooking, al
80 As food for poultry, the dried
seeds are said to be very fattening.
From the stalks a fibre is obtained that
may be substituted fer hemp; the
leaves are relished as food by cat
tic. and the flowers furnished sup.
ply Of rich honey for bees. 1t will
thus lie seen that those who choose to
undertake the experiment Of growing
sunAowers start ont with every prom
Use OF rich return with little labor.
