The Holy Ghost Flower.

washington Orltlc.
The botanical garden is possessed of a rare
curiosity now in the flower kingdom. 1t is a
Holy Ghost or dove flower in bloom. This
curiosity is from Panama, and blooms an
nually. The plant grows from bulb about
the size of ones hand, and springs up in a
single stalk, which is the size of pipe-stem,
and resembling in color and general appear
ance rush, and is about three and a half
feet high. At the top of the stalk, and for a
space of probably six inches along its sides
near the top, the flowers are located.
They are about two and half inches in cir
conference, white as snow, appearing
rather like white wax or marble, and of
the shape of cup, with the mouth inclined
outwardly. In the bottom of this cup-shaped
blossom is the most lovely specimen of ma
lures art. 1t is the dove, which occupies a
sitting posture, with wings extending up
ward and exhibiting the first half of the
body. In front of the dove is an altar slight
ly sprinkled with diminutive dots of maroon
coloring, and this is the only color about the
bloom. At the base OF the. stalk are three
shoots. or long leaves like the shoots to new
corn. There are twenty five of the cups on
the stem, and the fragrance is very delicate
and sweet. 1t is a great curiosity, and is at
tracing large number of visitors. The dove
specimen is kept in the greenhouse where the
air plants are, which are simply secured to
blocks of wood, kept in temperature so hot
and damp they are forced to grow and bloom
and these alone are worth seeing.

The Gear a Spiritualist.


II Is said that the Gear of Russia has be-
come partial convert to the faith of mod
ern spiritualists. 1t came about in this way:
When the Gar was in some perplexity re-
speeding the measures to be taken for the
safe conduct of the coronation ceremonies it
was suggested to him that he should TASK
counsel OF the spirits" at the hands of lady
medium who has been practcng for some
years in London, The lady (who is an
American) was accordingly sent for to st.
Petersburg. and gave sitting" to the Gar.
The result OF the seance was so satisfactory
that the preparations Tor the coronation were
hurried forward with greater energy than
before, haste being recommended with much
emphasis. Everything having passed OFF ex-
tremely well in Moscow, the Gar has come
to think that there may be something in
spiritualism after all;'' and the lady, on her
part, is said to be extremely well satisfied
with the results of her visit to the Russian
autocrat.

A Bashful bridegroom.

Sumter (Ga.) Republican
A friend tells us of a young man down
near the river who was to be married on a
certain night. He had seen and loved the
girl, and was too bashful to do his courting
so it had to be done by proxy. The day had
arrived, the guests assembled, the license
procured, the parson on hand and the bride
ready, but the youthful groom did not turn
up. The friend who had done the counting
went out, and after looking around found
him sitting or lying in a horse-trough. On
asking him why he did not go to the house
to be married he said: ION, l can't go thar
and stand before them folks" "Oh, yes
you can; everybody in there is married but
your girl. Come on" Get her to come
out doors, and we'll marry under the shed,
but let the old folks stay in the house" The
friend went back got the girl and parson out
without exciting suspicion, and they were
married. The company waited two or three
hours, and on being invited to supper were
introduced to the bride and groom. They
BECAME so indignant that all left without
paftaking OF the supper.

The appeal to universal suffrage made by
Louis Napoleon resulted in his receiving L
400 900 votes; but the few hundred thousand
ballots that protested represented ali who
