These who aie net botanists have been puzzled te knew just what is meant by the ' eelastie embrace of the mountain kal mia"' and ''the descending fiuctilicatien of the lily of the plain." "With the piclimin- aiy explanation that "eelastie" is a mis piiiit for "elastic," we think the following ex.ti.iets fiem AVoedand Steele's 'Fourteen "Weeks in Betany ' will make plain the meaning of the above quotation, show that Judge Lew is was a botanist and knew what he was talking about, andpeihaps be ei mtci est te student in b.itany, as well as le the gc ici.il leadei.

It is a shiub w ith cioekcd stems and bunches, 5-1.1 feet high, with leaves niestlj alternate, smooth, blight gieenen uuui sines, (-uipiicai, acute at each end. supported en short petioles leaf-stocks. Its fleweis aiein Luge tci initial ceijmbs, level tepj-ed elusteis viscid-pubescent, white vaiving te lese-color. The ether species aie shiublets l-l! feet in height. Pvllenizat ion The cm ions action of the stamens in these plants aie worthy of spe cial attention. AVhcn the llevver liist opens the stamens aie confined with their antheis in as many little pockets of the eoiello, and consequently the elastic sic fila ments bend b.ickvv.ud away liem the style which stands eiect in their midst. The anther containing the pollen giains has two poieus openings at the top. A touch 01 .sudden jar will liberate the an theis, xv hen they instantly lebeund against the style, discharging theii pollen tew.ud the stigma. It has been ebseived that the stamens de net spontaneously ftee themselves, but await some external feice as a gust of wind, a falling twig or rain di op. But the special agent in this seivice is the bee in quest of honey. The ntstling of its wings, the thrusting its piobescis into i no cavity, at the base of the .stamens whcie the nectar is secicted, sets them fiee. In this case the pollen shot fiem me lcueuiuiing stamens xvillbedisehaiged upon the body of the insect, and thus caitied te the stigma of the next llevvei which it may visit. The thoughtful student will heicinquiic "Why must the pollen be ledged upon the stigma at all '." a question which we aie prcpaiing te answer. Further en in the book the author an sweis the question. Speaking of the pol len of the mei ning-gleiy, he says : Watch the expanded flower at suniise. The anther cells ate also open and the pol len is .set fiee, te fall, te fly with the wind, or be ltidely brushed away by the bumble bee, as he plunges into llewei after llevver in seaicli of the nectar secicted in its depths. Thus a thousand grains may be lest, but some few are almost certain te be ledged en the stigma standimr in the midst. On this event depends the life and gievvth, i. c., the fertilization of the seed. If the stigma be covered or dcstiejed -e astopicvcntthcactienof the pollen, no seed will be peifcctcd in the ovary and no fruit pieduced. Or, if the stigma lcmain geed and yet no pollen be ledged upon it tue unit is equally suie te Mil. Theiefeie the nectar secicted in the ncctaiies of the llevver, and the insect that comes te gathei it, while unconsciously sc.ittciing the pol len, aie both ncccessaiy links in the Cica ter'.s plan. Thus the flevvci is net meiely a thing of beauty; it is an apparatus for a specific w eik in xvhich each eiganpei fei ms a definite part. That xveik is the lepio lepie lepio ductien of living seed for the peipctuatien of its kind upon earth." Se much for the fertilization lcsulting fiem the ' clastic embrace " of the stamen and stigma of the meuutain Kalmia, and the "lcpioductien of its kind" pieduced thcicby. New let us iuquiic what Judge Lewis meant by "the descending fractili fractili catien of the lily of the plain." Tinning again te our author, p. 255-G, wc find his decriptien of " the lily of the valley, ex quisite iu sweetness." He says : It is originally a mountain plaint of Emepe and grows wild en the high Alle ghcnics of Virginia and Carolina. It is piopegatcd by its lhizemes loot stocks. In the cultivated state it be.us no fiuit, or but little, peihaps for want of the special insect by which its lleweis arc fertilized in its native mountains. There, its led leund, few-seeded benics are perfected in abundance. The greater portion of the plant is .subterranean. On this large pto pte pto peition depends its almost incenqueiable vitality. The lily of the valley is stiictly aucaulcscent stemless. Frem each bud of the i mining slender rhizome arises two leaves and seveial biacts involved together and a scape llower-steck outside eftheni, beaiing a one-sided income " lleweis ar ranged like like a bunch of cuiiants. In a note (page 20) our author says : "Plants with lhizemes aie net uncom mon. They aie always peienuial, i. e., living fiem year te jear and etheivvisc noted for their stieng vitality. These which have lbizemcs long slender, blanch ing, aie inclined te take exclusive posses sion of the soil, and se become in fields and g.udcns tioubleseme weeds. Such is the l'olyped in Emepe. On the con cen ti.uy, in sandy sea-sheies and dykes thev are useful, binding the soil into a film tuilf icsisting the washing of the waves." Fiem the above desciiptien of the Kal ma and the lily the lc.idei will peieeive that Judge Lewis was net only a botanist eui mane most apt illustrations el na tuie's "piimeval law' when he lefciied te the elastic embiace ' of the one and "the de-cending fiuctificatien ' of the ether, as dill'eient means tending te the same end of self-picscivatien and lc lc lc pioducteon ; ei, as our author puts it, 'necessaiy links in the Cicater's plan, A r the pi oduetien of living seed for the peipctuatien of its kind upon the earth." But it is unt quite se clear that our leai tied dish ict attorney knew what he was talking about when he fa veicd the jmy with the "eelastie embiace" of the " intelligent compositor. " thyme, Nice for its violets, Sicily for its lemons and bcigamet, and England is fa mous for lavendar and pcppeimint, the latter always commanding a high price in foreign markets, as it feims the geneial mouth wash used en the continent. The lavender gi own at Mitcham and Ilitchiii is about eight times the value efth.it giewn in France and Italy ; and for ordi nary use thcie is no sweeter perfume than geed lavender. Just one weid en the use of pei funics; and it is moderation. Persons, places and things aie all the better and pleasanter for a little sweet essence, but see that it is a little. 11 some persons aie tee lavish in the lire of their faveiite bouquet, and turn what was meant for a lclined pleasure into a vul gar nuisance, their extravagance is te be avoided lather than the pcifumc itself. VZ.OTHIXG. I'lewers and Perfumes. Sniiictluii About the Art of the I'crliiiiier Where anil Hew the Delicate Oders are 0 1)1. lined. A wiitci in one the magazines savs Odeis aie cxtiaetcd fiem dillcient parts of plants and fleweis fiem the loot, as in an is and xitivcit, the stem, as in teil.u, sandal and uisewoed ; the leaves, as thvme, mint, patchouli : the blossom, as loses, violets, etc.; the. sjed, asthoTenquin bean, the caiaway ; the baik, as the cin namon. But all the ineie delicate odeis aiechitlly denved fiem the coiell.t, or blossom. After the etange which cnteis in some shape or feiinveiylaigely into the composition ofceuutlcss essences, pomades oils ami cosmetics one el the most use ful plants te the pei fumer is cissie. It is te be found in most of the faveiite hand kcichief bouquets ; but alone it is tee sickly sweet an odor te be agiee ible. It is extensively giew n at Cannes, and combines well with eiange flew eis, usc, tubeieseand vanilla. Beiunmet is another faithful ally of the piii fumer. It is an essential oil, obtained bj cxpiessien from the lind of a species of e-iti en, and is te be found in the majeiity of essences, particulaily in the celebiated A'-is Bouquet Of itself it is net a particulaily pleasant odor, but combined with en is, musk, or ether fixing scents, itisveiy fragrant. It is best kep't in a cool, daik place, in closely steppcicd bottles, which applies te all pei funics ex cept essence or extract of lese ; se that when ladies keep their peifume bottles en the toilet table in sunlight and gas-light, or, as is sometimes the case, en the mantle piece ever a hie, they should net be sur-' piised if they seen lese their delicate sub-' tie odor ; iu fact the piuer and better pei- fumes .u c, the mete susceptible ate they te i the influences of light and heat. It is acini- j eus fact that some of the sweetest llewers aie unavailable for the pui poses of per funieiy. Sw cet-bi ier, for instance, and eglantine can only be imitated. Ne pio pie eess has been disceveied by which their delicate pei fume can be extracted and pi e seived; but spiiitueus extracts of lese pomade, of llewei of orange, neieli oil also pieduced fiem the eiange and vei- bena w hen cunningly combined, x cry faiily imitate both. Lily-of-the-valley ' another useless flower te the peifunier, j though of exquisite scent in itself is I maivelleuslv imitated b-v a eoninennil of I vanilla, extract of tubeiese, jasmine and otte of almonds. Almest all lilies aie found tee pevveiful even for peifumeiy pmpeses, and aie theiefeie little used, even in combination with ether odeis, for it has been found in many instances that they de net h.umenize well with the lixing and disguising " scents in general use. Most of the veiy .sxvectest fleweis, it is said, arc only successfully imitated, as wall-llewcr, clove pink, sweet-pea. Mag Mag eolia is tee expensive te be genuine. -Myrtle is veiy r.uely genuine. Heal sweet pea thcie is none, and hcliotiepc and honeysuckle aie eleveily made up. Tube Tube lese, vanilla, orange flower, violet, lese, jasmine and eassie, with en is and vitivcit. musk and ainbeigiis, inpiopcrpiepoitions and combinations, aie the leading ingiedi- cnts m most perfumes. Mignonette, sweet as it is in the garden, is almost useless by itself te the peifunier; and tubeiese, one of the sweetest, if net the veiy sweetest llevver that blooms, cuiubincd with .'as inine, makes the pei funic called stcphano stcphane tis. By cnjleuraije it gives a most delicious extiact; but it needs te be fixed immedi ately by a less violent scent, or it will immediately evaporate. Fixed by vanilla ei some ether enduiing odor, it is one of the most chaiming and useful essences in the peifmner's leptrteirc, and cnteis into the composition of almost all the faveiite handkcichief bouquets. Cassia, otte of almonds, tubeiese, and enis feim two thirds of the violet essence generally sold. The genuine essence of violets is only te be piecuicd at special places and at exer-bitantpiiccs. in fixing or pei mancnt scents the piinci pil aie musk vanilla, ambergris, enis and vitivert. Onis is peihaps ineie used than any ether, and enters l.ugcly inie the com position of all popular dcntiifices. Fiem the odeis ah eaily known, xre may pieduce by pieper combinations the scent of almost eveiy llevver that blows, ctccpt the jessa mine. It is the one pei fume that defies spin ieus imitation. It seems almost need less te say that otte of loses comes ehielly fiem the East. The rose fields of Kasan hk, in Beumelia, and the sweet valleys of Cashmcie, gives us the attar 'Renowned ever the whole weild. But there is a very sweet otte of roses made from the beauti ful Pievence loses that grew te such pci pci fectien at Ceuncs and Grasses.

Fer the purpose of illustrating the im portance te the ceuntiy of having a linn, honest and vigilant man in the speaker's cii.ui- ai asnmgten, the JNew Yeik Sun cites an incident which eccuiicd the ether da. Mr. Cook, of Geeigia, reported a bill declaiing :li 10ads and highways pest leutes and autheiizing the postmaster fri.iimel t i,l ., ;l . ; ,, . 5,v,,.,u iu jhu psuu .sc-ivice en an sucn leutes when the public necessity may ic quiie it. Mr. Bryant, of Georgia, laised the point of eidei against the bill that it made an appiopii.itien and should tneieleie he included in the geneial appiopiiatien hill. The lepert of the pieceedings then contains the biief announcement "the speaker sustain ed the point of elder," and the bill was withdrawn. These few weids don't make up much space in the C'onrtessienul Jiecerd but they leceid the strangling of ati immense anaconda which contained millions for somebody in its ample coils. The pin pose of the bill was veiy clear. It was te lelieve the postmaster general of all restraint, and te allow him te put the postal seivice whci ever he pleased and te increase that service te any amount. When he was the leader of his naitven en the fleer of the house, Mr. Bandall's i eu;cct" saved the country annually millions of dollars, and since he has been in the speaker's chair his xigilancc and inci edible integrity have defeated any num ber of huge jobs, intieduced under the most innocent guise ; and thus saved the Heuse fiem scandal and the party whose leader he is fi ein lepieach. Mr. Randall is net by any means a biilliant man he is neither a silver-tongued oiater nor a biil liant lhcteiician ; but in the staving quali ties which constitute inasteily leadeiship ; in the ee,il, quick judgment 'which seizes the opportunity of the hour; in the fiim ness which d.ucste de light whether it offends fiiend or fee, it would scaicely be an exaggeration te say, iu view of the laids en the tie.ismy which he has stepped, that he has been worth te this ceuntiy mere than his weight in geld.
