Chfly I«iomctioi Flower.
Among the cariosities of the floral
kingdom none is more truly extraordinary
than that which is termed the Resurrec
tion Flower, and which may be seen on
Bqwjflorqy almost any day when a street
ddH has it for sale. The flower, until
lsraj 1 * has been considered vary raae.
Bishop Wainwright mentions of obtain
ing two while he was in Egypt Dr. J.
Beck gives a history of a flower he obtain
ed in the East. A stem, on which were
two seemingly dried-up seed vessels of
some plant was given him by an Arab for
medicinal service rendered. He was as
sured that many years previously it had
been taken from an Egyptian mummy, and
was esteemed a great rarity, as few had
been obtained in the last century. Hum-
boldt, to whtun Dr. Beck presented the
flower, acknowledged that in his extensive
travels in all parts of the world, he had
met with nothing like it in the vegetable
kingdom, and nothing so truly wonder
ful.
Cqpaparatively speaking, it will never
de$ay if properly cared for. Its origin,
its location, and the plant bearing it are
entirely involved in mystery. The at
tractive Oriental tale of its being found in
a mummy is rejected because no similar
flower has been found by those who have
had the most experience in unrolling the
ancient dead. On examining the flower
in its expanded state, it resembles, both
in shape and color, a dried poppyhead with
the stem attached. Upon being immersed
in a glass of water a moment or two, and
set upright in the neck of a small vial, in
a few minutes the upper petals begin to
burst open, gradually, yet visibly to the
eye. They continue to expand until,
throwing themselves hack in equidistant
order, there is presented a beautifully radi
ated starry flower, somewhat resembling
both the passion flow er and the -sunflower.
The unfolding still continues until the
petals bend backward over what may be
termod the base of tin' flower, presenting
in bold relief in its centre its rosette of
the most exquisite from and omamenta
tion. After remaining open an hour or
more, the moisture gradually dissipated
itself, and the fibres of the flower contract
as gradually as they expanded, and it
assumes its original appearance, ready to
be unfolded again by the same simple
process, t he number of times seeming to
be limited only to the will of the posses
sor.
Dr. Beck suggests that the flower is a
native of the Holy Land, and is a type or
variety of the long -lost rose of Jericho—
called also, the 'rose of Sharon" and the
“star of Bethlehem." and highly venerated
for its rarity and peculiar properties by
the Pilgrims and Crusaders, and eagerly
sought after by them as a priceless emblem
of their zeal and pilgrimage, and worn on
their escutcheons in a manner like the seal
lop andpalmbraneh. This idea is strength
ened by the fact that resemblances of the
flower both open and closed, are sculptur
ed on two of the tombs of the. Crusaders
buried in the Temple Church of London,
and also in the cathedrals of Bayeaux and
Rouen, in Normandy. Its botanical posi
tion is difficult to assign, as it presents
some of the peculiarities of the highest
and lowest classes. The opinion most
sanctioned is that the flower is the peri
carp, ox seed vessel of the plant; that it
grows in sand}* or desert places, and falls
in course of time, from the parent stem.
Retaining its seed in an arid soil and
atmospheae, it is for months and years
wafted about by the winds, but from lack
of moisture, keeping closed. Eventually
it falls upon some damp spot, when it
opens, deposits its seeds, and thus, by a
most exquisite adaptation of means to an
end, exhibited in this beautiful phenomena
of nature, the work of reproduction is
commenced and concluded.
Wooer it shoes are highly recommended
by the a; ricultural societies and govei n-
ments of Europe, as ft is shown that
many diseases resulting in impaired
constitut ions and even in the loss of life
have resulted from wearing leather shoes
in wet weather. A practical workman
from France has been called recently in
Germany to superintend their manufac
ture. They are light and easy to wear,
and provided with a small cushion within
the upper side to obviate any pressure on
that part of the foot. They are of a neat,
pleasant appearance, blackened or. var-
uished, large enough to accommodate

The editor of the Griffin News makes
it a point to inquire of the leading planters
who visit that office as to their prospects,
and they all concur in the determination
to so pitch their crops the present year as
to be able to control their cotton next
season and sell when they please. The
editor finds few who will raise meat.
They say they can raise corn and sell it
for more than enough to counterbalance
the cost of bacon. They claim that owing
to the present system of labor and its
responsibility, and the almost impossi
bility of framing sufficiently protective
laws, that they cannot guard against the
stealing of swine. They openly declare,
however, that never again will they be
put into a position where they are forced
to bny com.
Curiosities of Coal.—An average Atlantic
steamer consumes fifty tons of coal in
twenty-four hours. Therefore, if five
tons of coal are sufficient to feed an ordin
ary grate in our dwellings during the
entire year, the coal consumed on board a
steamer in one day would last a small
family, burning one fire, ten years. If a
load of coal is left out of doors, exposed
to the weather, until it is burned up in
one grate—say a month—it loses one-
third of its heating quality. If a ton of
coal is placed on the ground and left
there, and another ton is placed under a
shed, the latter loses about twenty-five
per cent, of its heating power, and the
former about forty seven per cent.
Hence it is a great saving pf coal to have
it in a dry place, covered over, and on
all sides. The softer the coal the more
it loses, because the most volatile and
valuable constituents undergo a slow
combustion.
Will of an Irish Miser.—An
Irishman named Denis Tolam, who
died at Cork, possessed of considerable
wealth, in the year 1769, left a singular
will, containing the following testa
mentary dispositions: ‘‘I leave to my
sister-in-law four old stocking, which
will be found under my mattress, to
the right. Item—To my nephew
Michael Tarles, two odd socks aud
green night-cap. Item—To Lieuten
ant John Stein, a blue stocking, with
a red cloak. Item—To my consin
Barbara Dolan, my old boot with red
flannel pocket. Item—To Hannah,
my housekeeper, my broken water-
jug.” After the death of tbe testator
the legatees having been convened by
the notary to be present at the reading
of the will, each, as he or she was
named, shrugged their shoulders and
otherwise expressed a contemptuous
disappointment, while parties un
interested in the succession could uot
retrain from laughing at these ridicu
lous, not to say insulting, legacies.
All were leaving the room after
signifiing their intention of renouncing
their bequests, when the last named
—Hannah—having testiied her indig
nation by kicking away tbe broken
pitcher, a number of coins rolled out
of it; the other individuals, astonished
at the unexpected incident, began to
think better of their determination,
and requested permission to examine
the articles devised to them. It is
needless to say that on proceeding to
the search tbe stockings, socks, pocket,
Ac., soon betrayed by their weight the
value of their contents, and the hoard
of the testator thus fairly distributed
left on the minds of the legatees a very
different impression of his worth.

MAKES THE WEAK STRONG.
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect
ed Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested ami assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Nature’s Own Vualizlny
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures t( athousand ills,”simply
by Toning up, Invigorating and
Vitalizing the System, The en
riched and vitalised blood per
meates every part of the body,
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derful success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar
rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills and Fevers, Humors,
Boss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility or a low
state of the system, Being free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energising effects are not fol
lowed by corresponding reac
tion, but are permanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, avid new
life into all parts of the system,
and building up an Iron Con
stitution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women; and
invalids cannot reasonably hes
itate to give it a trial.
