ORCHIDS IN GUIANA.
A Picture Of Wonderful Beauty, Variet
and Wild Profusion.

A Picture of Wonderful Beauty, Variety
and Wild Profusion.
In padding up the smaller rivers of
Guiana the visitor is struck with the
beauty and variety of the orchids
and other epiphytes perched on every
limb and branch above his head.
Coming from temperate climate,
where only moses, lichens. and per-
haps fern or two, can live under such
circumstances, he sees great arums,
with rosettes of leaves six or eight
feet in diameter, crowded groups of
hard-leaved tillandsias, mistle-toeiike
punches of rhipsalis, orchids, ferns,
and MOSES, all struggling for places
where they can find room to enjoy life
and propagate their species -
In the dense gloom of the forest,
where the branches interlace with each
other. they can not secure enough
light, but wherever the continuity is
broken by river or savannah, the trees
on the borders are decorated with a
wealth of these interesting plants.
From the river nothing but sloping
bank of foliage is visible, but by pad
ding through the cater screen.
which comes down into the water, a
very pretty scene is revealed overhead.
Although the direct rays of the sun are
shut out, there is generally sufficient
light for the epiphytes, and here they
give quite festive appearance to what
would otherwise be a tangle of bare
limbs and branches.
Down to the smallest twigs every one
is loaded with upright, dropping, or
hanging plants, some appearing coarse
and aggressive, others handsome in
both foliage and flower, while delicate
little orchids and ferns among the
MOSES are most pretty and interesting.
When tree leans over the river, or
great branches stretch across a creek,
these are covered with epiphytes, the
long. cord-lilxe, mria1 roots of some of
them hanging from height of fifty
feet or more and branching out into
dense broom-1ike masses of fbers as
they touch the water.
Even the trunks have great clumps of
orchids wherever there is sufficiency
of light, while here and there plant
has made itself at home in the midst Of
a tangled mass of bull-ropes.-Long.

A Post-Prandial Failure.

A famous after-dinner speaker had a
curious experience one evening last
spring. He had been invited to make
one of a half-dozen speeches upon a GER
tain occasion, but circumstances over
which he had no control prevented his
arrival at the board until the evening
was wellnigh at it's close. He was
called upon to wind up the evenings
festivities five minutes after his arrival,
and then he got upon his feet and made
the finest effort of his life. Much to
his surprise, his best stories fell fat,
and he was much disappointed thereat.
On his way home he unbosoned him
self to the toast-master in this wise:
THAT was an awfully cold crowd to-
night. They didn't take my stories
we'll at all. Weren't they good stories?"
.Yes, they were." replied the toast
master; ''but they had already been

What . "Farmer's Paper" Says on
the Subject. ~,

The only taxation measure Of import
ance in our Legislature last winter was
the local option measure to secure =
fair trial of some more equitable sys-
tenn of taxation than the present which
bears most unjustly upon the farmers
The failure OF the local option bill to
pass is very generally regretted by ag-
riculturists who have taken pains to
acquaint themselves with its provis-
ions. The bill sought to give any city
or county by majority vote Of its in
habitants tho opportunity to collect
estate only. The design was to exclude
all personal property from taxation ON
account Of the absolute impossibility
of finding but small portion OF the
same, which portion was always found
and taxed on the farmers. A trial OF
such new system on q limited scale,
by single city or county was q very
desirable thing inasmuch as only the
county deciding, by majority vote to
make the trial, would be at all affected.
The state could well affordeto give per-
mission for such trial as If successful
and the majority were satisfied, the
new method could be adopted by any
other county. :
It is exceedingly unfortunate for
both city and country, that this per-
mission to try new and better system
failed by few votes Now that the
proposed measure is more generally un-
derstood, regret is expressed, especial
~ among the farmers, that the local
option bill failed to become law.
The injustice of making the farmers
pay about double their fair proportion
of taxes must be endured. for an
other year at least, without hope Of
relief. Had the bill passed and
Brooklyn and New York Doth
of which offered to try the
same entirely at their own expense,)
were now trying the new system the
whole state could be assured that q
source Of relief was being tested.
The assemblymen who voted for the
bill were. as it now proves, exceedingly
fortunate, their vote was in favor Of
great possible relief to all unjustly
taxed and one such vote given by Mr..
Peck, of Onondaga commends his ~
election. -SyracuSe Grange Bulletin.
