moral and material advantage Of ths whole

This being our firm conviction, we venture
To bring our case before the Tribunal Of AL
mighty Justice and invoke divine atd Ia

therefore, our fellow-citizens arc earnestly
and respectfully invited to set apart Thurs.
day, the 2eth day Of tho present month, Us a
day Of fasting, humiliation and prayer. Ills
requested that all places Of business be closed
and labor suspended, that all may assemble
at the several places Of divine worship; and
the ministers Of the gospel are solicited to
open the churches for service on that day

God that justice, peace and prosperity, merry
and truth, with fellowship and good feeling

AN ORCHID DEALER.
And the Growth OF Orchids.
From the st. James Gazette,I

Year by year already the growth of Or
chids is multiplying by leaps and bounds, as
every flower show proves. At the Crystal
palace last week, in an "open class" of cut
flowers, tho first prize-winner showed eigh.
teen orchids among twenty-four sprays of
bloom, and every competitor introduced
them more or less.
That vast establishment At st. Adams
which Mr.. Sander founded and directs Is
familiar by name to botsnists the whole
world over. Nowhere on earth 10 an acre of
land put under glass and devoted to orchids
alone Foreigners and eightseers within q
score of miles of London would see one
"house" 400 feet long, 26 wide, Is high,
piled up with oattleyas, mostly In bloom,
and ceilinged with baskets overhead. They
would see 10000 plants Of Odontoglossum
Crispum in flower at once, $4,000 sprays of
Odontoglossum Vexillarum all open. Twelve
such houses they would find side by side,
each 100 feet long, and the narrowest 80 feet
wide. One of them is occupied all down the
middle with tank of Victoria Regis and
other tropical nymphoa; but about this
hang thousands and thousands of Dem
drobium Dearei, with great bouquet of
snowy flower. Under every s'stage" orchids
are suspended, head downward; imported
rnaasss these, waiting in the cool and damp
until the busy producers fnd time to deal
with them. There lie an underground
world also, whore cases arriving from east

Mr.. Sanders establishment IL not yet ten
years old. Its owner ID q 6elf-made man In
the strictest sense of that expression. A ma
tive of Prussia, he came to England In 1887
merely with view to learn tho language,
and found employment with Hsesrs. Carter
of Forestville. There he made an acquaint-
ance which decided his career. Roezo-ws
would not vulgarixe such man with the
stupid "Mr."-took fancy to hin. II Is
necessary to explain to the public that Roszc
was the greatest collector of plants that ever
lived, whose services to botany are priceless:
Zurich, for the Continental interest In new
plants was greater at that time than ours.
English enthusiasm grew fast, no viewer, and
Roezc appointed his young friend sub-agsnt
In this country. Two other collectors Of
fame only surpassed by his, MessIs. Wallis
ker then took small premises In George
street, St. Albans, which are now suckur-
sale of the vast emporium. There was no
thought of growing orchids. The collectors
sent their spoils from one country or another,
and the agent sold them as best he could. The
coup which first brought him into general
netioe was an importation of loo, 600 Hexi-
can orchids sent by Roezc which filed the
little house from cellar to roof. That il still
q legend of ''the trade" for no such whols-
sale plumber can be found now In q world
which has been swept by armies Of celiec-
tors. Then Roezs retired, after forty years
wanderings in the tropics. Endress died ct
Santa Marta, and Wallis very soon after at
Guayaquil. Are not their names chronioled
among the martyrs of orohidologys Wallis
| was protestant, and the priests refused
him burial; medical students came In the
night and carried off his body.
Mr.. Sander, however, foreseeing that thess
veterans must leave him soon, had begun te
train younger generation with Roszc's i'd.
vice. It was his supreme good fortune, II
we should not say his merit, to attract the
| interest of Mr.. Nathaniel Rothschild, and all
that powerful family became his patrons.
Such, in barest outline, IL the oaresr of the
