RothchiId's Wonderful Orchid.

French horticulturists are at present
greatly interested in plant at one of
NJ de Rothchild's celebrated hothouses
at Ferrieres, near Paris. Perhaps the
strangest of the strange family of or
chids, Va1adG LoWi, was discovered by
II. Low in 1947, in the hot, damp forests
of Borneo, where it climbed to the top
of the highest trees. Its long leaves,
which not rarely measured a yard or
more in length, appear small if COM
pared with the length of the clusters of
buds, which reach a length of three
yards. Each cluster-of which there
are at present eleven in full flower at
Ferrieres 280 buds, all flow
ering at the same time, which are so
different in appearance that side by side
they may be easily taken for distinct
species. The plant was bought in 1876
for large sum of money, but at present
it is considered worth S25, 900. 1t is re-
ported from Italy that in the garden of
Marquis Corsi Salviati, in Sesto Flor
iento, the Va'ldG Lo1Ci is also at pres
ent in flower, which is the first time it
has ever flowered in Italy.-PaU MGlI

Her beauty lends to all a charm
Her love atones for all.

were remarkably well turned to catch both

moment does not point to its being disturbed.

Some Reliable Democratic History.

Some Reliable Democratic History.
From the Peoria, ILL.,, Democrat, Penn.
The majority of people admit the truth
of the old proverb that honesty is the
best policy" and though few may be
doubtful on this point it is an obvious
fact that though for time man. may
be dishonest to others and still be sue
cessful If he is not honest to himself he
is bound to fail. A man who deceives or
tries to deceive himself into belieflthat
right is wrong, or that wrong is right,
cannot succeed in his undertakings, for
the simple reason that he has no foun-
datiOn, or at least rotten one to build
on.
This axiom applies as we'll to political
parties as to individuals, and no better
illustration is required to prove its cor
rectness than the disastrous failures in
the history of the Democratic party dur
ing the last 20 years.
In 1864 the party nominated soldier,
a war man, for President, and an anti
war man for Vice President, and to add
w tulo luCOuSiuiVy ohvy WV"
on peace platform.
In 1869 they nominated hard-mOney
man for President, with blatherskite
for Vice-P President, on Greenback plat
form, with another failure as the result.
In 1872, so lost had the party become
to the principles Of true Democracy, so
anxious were they to curry favor with
their political opponents. that, like dogs,
they were ready to lick the feet Of those
who kicked them, and, like q harlOt, lost
to all sense of virtue and even common
decsncy, prOstituted the grand old prin-
ciples Of Jefferson and Jackson by NOM
mating to the highest position of honor
in the gift of the people two men who
had said more bitter things against the
Democracy than any other two men in
the cOnntry-men who In fact were black
Republicans at heart, and had been such
all their lives. and their nomination was
simply on account Of the base, craven
desire to seek favor from the enemy.
1t would have been thought that. prof
iting by the bitter experiences of the
past, the Democratic party by this time
would have learned that straight issue
would be the only battle ground on
which they could hope to win, but again
in 1880 they resOrted to the old incon-
gruous policy. and nominated for Presi-
dent man from Pennsylvania known
all oyer the country as tariff mana
man who was also a sOldier-althOugh
in direct opposition to the principles of
the party, who declared for soldiers for
war, civilians to fill the civil Offices of
the government" As might have been
expected, this attempt to carry water on
both shoulders again resulted in disap-
pOintment.
