A Remarkable Orchid.
From t, Baltimore San,


breckenridge d Co., the well known
florists of Govanstown, brought to the
Sun office yesterday a remarkable
and beautiful orchid, which rivals
anything of the kind in America
1t is an "Epiphytic" orchid, the
bloom of which grows downward
from the roots, presenting a curious
effect. The plant, which was hung
over a door, is planted in moss. 1t
has no earth, and derives all its SUI
s,enance from the air. The plant is
Is inches square. Pendant from il
are 65 blooms, each bloom 8 to /
inches across, and of golden yellow
shading off to cream. The scent is
not agreeable, in which respect it
resembles the giant lily recently
shown in London. Another curious
characteristic it possesses is that for
six months of the year it requires nc
water whatever, and its bloom de-
ponds upon it's being kept perfectly
dry for this period. 1t may not be
generally known that Baltimore is
one of the principal markets for
orchids, the plants being brought
here direct from South America, and
after being established are sold all
over the country.

A Scare That Didn't Scare.

Athens Messenger.
1t is entirely safe TO say that there
is not a single republican in Athens
county, and, as far as we are advised,
anywhere else in the state, who will
be induced to scratch Foraker because
of "third termism." This wholly I'M
important question has fallen so alb
solutely fiat that even the democratic
papers have very generally ceased to
men ton it.

OPINIONS are mixed as to the re-
suit of the late French elections. The
interested journals speak according
to their desires their views natural
ly colored by the medium through
which they pass. The republican
journals are naturally jubilant, the
Boulanger and monarchical journals
are disappointed, and don't think it
much of republican show anyway.
The italian journals think that the
elections prove the nations desire
for peace and the German press con-
slider that things in France remain
about as they were. On this side
the water these elections will be ac-
cepted upon the basis of the returns
made as demonstrating a more under
standing faith in the republic than
they have generally been credited
with possessing. No doubt some OF
the more sanguine of the republicans
have not realized the full measure
of their expectations, but this was
not to be looked for. The outlook
is more promising as it is. 1t shows
that the elections were not carried
in spirit of excitability which de-
stroyed the reasonable balance of
party feeling and power, but in a
calm and dispassiOnate temper which
has left the individual free to weigh
the chances and decide according to
a deliberate judgment. 1t is this
deliberation and the growing strength
of the free republican following
manifested in this election which
gives ground Of hope for republican
France.

A Scientific Age.

A Scientific Age.
Boston Transcript
Oh, what a restless age is this
Of scientific art!
An age that scorns all sentiment
And tenderness of heart.
An age of FOUL suspicious, doubts:
Our old traditions, too,
We're told in cold, prosaic way,
Are found to be untrue.
Sir Walter Raleigh didn't spread
His cloak before the queen.
In order that her majesty
Should keep her slippers clean.
Nor didWill Shakespeare write play,
Again we have been sold;
And Mary never had lamb,
Twas Lucy, we are told.
And last, not least, some learned men
Do boldly certify
That Washington without a doubt,
Had often told lie.
The cutting of the cherry tree
Is nothing but myth.
And POcahontas didn't save
The life of Captain Smith.
Now what on earth can we believe
That's either right or wrong?
Why, just believe, as / do now,
That we have lived too long.

The abundance of remains of the
mammoth in Siberia is almost in
credible. Middendorff reckoned that
at least 100 pairs of tusks had been
put upon the market yearly during
the last two centuries, and from per-
sonal observation Nordenskjold is in
clined to regard this estimate as too
small. 1t thus appears that in the
recent modern trade useful tusks of
more than 10000 of these animals of
past ages have been collected.

drawn from the testimony OF any witnesses.
