In, the early days of our acquaintance

the extreme difficulty which apparently
attended their cultivation, made them
the exclusive property Of the very
wealthy few. Now, however, we have
increased our knowledge Of the condi-
tlons under which they thrive IN their
native habltats, ana the ease and rapid

thus prices have been reduced to such

priced orchids even Ill these days. On
tho contrary, any new species, OF an
extra good variety OF All old and WE'LL

after than ever, and numerous instances
occur every year Where amal e,,rs are
found who Willingly give fifty, eighty

comfort OF those who are about to COM

Of the most beautiful kinds in this

the INFORMATION brought us respecting
orchids by those who have collected

rational treatment at home, these plants

The Tooth Factory.

The domain of the dentist is about To
be disputed. "A great discovery has
been made which will reyolutionize the
whole business and emancipate the suf-
ferers. a factory has been established.
with plenty Of capital to back It, for the
purpose Of making artificial teeth by
machinery. All that any one who is
troubled with his teeth will have to do
will be TO got them all pulled out. Then
he can pi,rchase,a brand new, machine
made set and be exempt from toothache
all tho rest OF his life. This IS, Of
course, nothing now in the making and
using of artificial teeth, but it will$be
easily seen that the manufacture by
machinery presents great advantages.
When the making Of watches by ma
cllinery was started therS were many
protests that the new way would never
DO as good as the old. But the exact
ness soon attained, and the convenience
of having the parts interchangeable,
brought about revolution, and the
factory watches now rank above the
handmade. The same advantage will
be had In the factory teeth. If ono set
gets broken, or comes out, an exactly
similar one can be ordered from the
factory at very small cost. If the plate
gets cracked It can be replaced in the
same way. All that will be necessary
will be to give the number Of the plate.
and new one, precisely like tile old,
will be sent by return mail.

The Situation.

In regard to politics, he thought
there was little to be said that has
not already been published. He
thought the political situation very
satisfactory. The President has
the confidence of the great masses
of the American people, who bc
lieve he means to administer the
government for the best interests
ofthe country and according to law.
He thought tins fact was recOgliz
ell by all save the politicians aud
self seekers. The great body OF
tue people want an honest admins
tratiou of the government and peace
and quiet throughout the country,
and they are not Interested in any
schemes which individuals may be
pushing for their personal interests,
aud he thinks all they desire will
be realized in the present admins

He had devoted some time and
attention in seeking to bring the
great agricultural interests of the
South before the country, and he
