sERvATORY IN THE UNITED
STATES.
The conservatory at Jay Gould's
summer residence, Lindenhurst,
Irvington, on the Hudson which
was totally destroyed by fire FRI
day night, as briefly reported by
telegraph, contained the rarest
and most expensive collection of
flowers in the United Stated. The
loss was 100000. The alarm was
given at o'clock Friday morning
by the barking of two immense
mastiffs. Two Watchmen were
aroused and rang the bell, hut the
only assistance that could be Sc
cured was that of the eight work
men Oh the grounds. The fire
started under the roof near The
chimney, which served the three
furnaces in the central building.
Since July Mr.. Gould had receiv-
ed from Linden, the florist of
Client, Belgium, a collection for
which he paid $40, 900. 1t included
palms from the most remote
points to which Linden's agents
had penetrated in search of botan-
ical curiosities and rarities. OF
palms alone there were in the con-
servBtory 289 varities, the rarest
of which wac a spec men from the
East Indies, standing 10 feet high
with three leaves, each of which
was s feet in length and 8 feet n
width. The tree ferns included
45 varieties, imported from Ven
ezuela, Madagascar, New Guinea,
and other tropical countries. The
trunks of some of these ran up to
a height Of Is feet before they
threw out their bunch like heads
of foliage. A consignment of
palms and tree ferns from Dom
Pedro, the Emperor of Brazil, was
also amoung the curiosities de-
strOyed. One of these ferns was
valued at 81 900, and quite a num-
Der of them at $500 and 81 200
apiece. The bush ferns, which
are a dwarf species of the tree ferns
were also largely represented in
the collection, besides 1000 rare
plants, 5000 geraniums, 10000
bedding plants, and host of ma
tives. The roses comprised the
choices collection for winter
blooming. There were the Peolas
or white tea roses; the Empress of
Germany, a copper colored varie-
ty; the Schwartz. of almost a deep
black, and specimen from Lux
embourg having diameter OF 10
inches. The assortment of CrotOns,
Marandas. Draceanas azelias, phil
odendrons, and Anthurium An
dreana was large and varied. A
| single plant of the last variety cost
$500. Its flower was a scarlet red,
and the variety itself is exceeding
ly rare, In the pink-house were
35 yarities of winter-blOoming
carnations. These are only samples
of the extent and varieties of Mr..
Gould's collection, a complete cat
alogue of which would comprise a
list of at least 10000 names. Mr..
Gould took great interest in his
collection, and seldom neglected to
visit the conservatory on his way
10 New York, and Immediately
upon his way to his home in the
afternoon.

many eases i'm our midst of old and
middle aged people who formerly wore
grey hair, or whose locks Were thin and
faded, but who now have presentable
head pieces, and with no little pride an
nounce to their friends that they haven't
grey hair i'm their heads. 1t is IA par
dOnable pride, and the world would be
better off, if there was more of it, for
when the aged make themselves at
tractive to others they are more certain
to win and retain the esteem and re-
spect to which burthen of well spent
years entities them to. Try Halls Hair
Renewer if age or disease has thinned

ribly bruised and a bruise over one eye.
1t is supposed that he had been dead

caused fears of accident, and search
was made, which resulted In finding
him dead beside log, about sundOwn

tered at Barnett's Creek church the
