At a recent very fashionable welding
orchids. which bid fair to become a craze
among the wealthy and fashionable, were
brought largely into use, and sprays of
their delicate blooms traced out the panels
of the marriage bower, while some of the
rarest varieties formed fringe work to
the wedding bells The brides veil of old
point de Venise was an heirloom in the
family. and was of length and richness
to excite the notice of Mrs. Aston who is
said to haves the most valuable collection
of lace in this country There was covert
sarcasm in weaving the blossoms of the
thistle into the lovers knot which hung
over the d six on which the marriage Ger.
tificate was signed. But thorns and thistles
are more or less interviewer with every
earthly lot

YUCCA Paner.

The yucca plant is to be utilized in the
manufacture of paper. The London Tele-
graph, which uses from $50 to 200 miles in
length each day, has purchased large tract
in the Majaye district, California, where
the yucca abounds, and will have the plant
shipped to some point on the Colorado river,
where il will be ground into pulp, then
shipped by rail to New Orleans, and thence
by sea to Liverpool The saving it is
claimed, will BE- very great.

Hen Cholera.

This disease destroys SIS. 900, 900 worth of
poultry every year, somebody says. 1t
arises chiefly in consequence of filthy hen
houses The symptoms are like this: The
chicks move feebly about with their wings
dropping; their heads turn black and they
die in from twenty-four to thirty six hours,
and on examination their craws are hard
and the contents black.
Kill all the infected hens AMI burn their
bodies Burying won'tdo. For the others,
have all the surroundings as clean as a
white washed wall. Then few drops Ct
carbolic acii in a quart of water mixed
with their feed, or alum water, or common
baking soda and water, used Tor the same
purpose, will generally bring them through
They must be watched, however, and every
sick fowl instantly removed.

richly trimmed The hats are very large. but
bonnets are coming to be more and more

both hats and bonnets is massed in front.

particularly in hats. for it to slide slightly
around toward thu left side.

In the last number of st. Nicholas Mr.

optics. They prove that our eyes really do
not see straight, and that therefore they
cannot be trusted. For instance, in thu

lines joining them. Do not the lines in Fig

And yet they don't at all The fact 10
that the lines are perfectly straight all the
way down and parallel. 1t is the arrange
ment of the small diagonal lines that makes
the long lines in Fig. look as though they
were bent outward in the middle, and
those in Fig. 2 seem inclined inward. Your

Another interesting experiment is men

Our eyes naturally represent things
little larger at the top than they

Naturally, were the chief center Of in

There was a large variety, but it was
melancholy to SEQ how few perfect ones

to make a united eff ort through the country
to get rid Of the pple pests that are in
juring our orchaI ds so fatally. Almost
every year a new AMI unnamed variety
of insect or blight springs up, till

vested with new terrors. The o1ly remedy
is high culture and eternal vigil aucs. Give
your orchards top dressings of manure and
pillow it in lightly. Let hogs run in the or

falls. Keep the trees careful y trimmed SO

Horror of Mineral Poisoning.

Thousands of persons are Lois- oned in America by the continued use of Mercury, Iodide of Potass. ium and other minerals, for various diseases. The Mercury works its way into the tissues, producing rheumatism and decay of the bones. The Iodide of Potassium eats away the coating of the stomach, and dries up the gastric juices which digest the food, and the patient fingers along in agony or is glad to die to get away from misery. Swift's- Specific is a complete anti dots to all this poison. It climates Mercury from the system, removes the evil effects of Iodide of Potass- ium, and brings back health and appness.

No Hobby Rider or DemagOgu'.

The Hamburg (Ashly county News, in a dispassionate and we'll timed editorial upon the contest for the Dem Oeratie Nomination to succeed Sen ator Jones in Con gress, speaks as follows:
 One man must be selected, and hs must be the strongest, shat man is T. c, McRao of Nevada. We want man of culture, elr. gncc pride, dignity, ability, cspahility,pru dence, honesty and purity to fill this place We want man fully abreast with the time, and who is no hobby rider or demagosue We can afford nothing less. Thos' C. Me Rae is the man. He is tho most popular man in the district.
 It IS plain to De seen that the News has a proper appreciation ol the importance of a wise and ac, cep table nomination. That jour. nal also seems to possess a reas. onably correct understanding o. the relative merits of the distin- guished gentlemen the people are called upon to choose between for this exalted position. Tn fact the News speaks tho PIcAYUNE's views upon these points just about as clearly anT forcibly as the PlcA- YUSE could do itself. However, all we ask is that the will of the party be not thwarted.
