The botanical world is inter ested in a novel flower which has been found in the Isthmus of Teliauntepee, and which is red when the sun is upon it, white in the morning and blue in the evening.

The Chicp,j» M postoffice is toj have a new permanent employe in the person of a physician at a salary of SI7OO pep year. He will be stationed at the main ollice for the purpose of examin ing employes who report them selves as being sick ; and it is expected that he will make a large saving to the government in salaries, as some of the Em ployes report themselves as be ing incapacitated when they are able to perform their duties. On the other hand, the employes of the postoffice may be spared severe cases of illness by receiv ingprompt treatment. The young lady who gained fame by kissing Lieut.

Not long after this, a scrofula sore appeared on my left check extending from my upper lip to my eye Other sores came on raj- neck and on my right arm and one jf my limbs. They were very troublesome and painful and soon became great running sores. My face looked so bad that some of my neighbors could not bear to look at me 1 and advised me to wear a bandage, but I feared this would irritate tho sor« and make it worse. So I Could Not Hide the Sores. My niece, who was familiar with a case similar to mine, which had been cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it. Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in a short time I saw it was helping me. The sores began to heal and the neu ralgia in my head was better. In a few months the sores on my arms and limbs all healed; those on my neck gradually df-appoared and now they are all gone. I have never had any symptom of scrofula since. One large sear on my right arm is ’I the sign that remains of my terrible iliiction. The neuralgia is alsocursd.” u-.. J. M. Hatch, Etna, New Hampshire.

The services will be held in St. Paul’s Epis copal church, of which President Davis was a member, and the interment will take place in the Davis square, in Hollywood cemetery. The Confederate Veterans’ camps of this city will attend in uniform. An effort will be made to have the Second regiment, which arrives here tomorrow, to attend the funeral, in addition to tiie three companies of the First regiment, which are sta tioned here. The camps of this city have adonted resolutions of sympathy and the flag on the Confederate Soldiers’ home was lowered to half mast and will be kept thus until after the funeral. A telegram from the manage ment of the Louisiana room in the Confederate Museum was received directing that the en trance to the chamber be draped in white and crape. ritory may be the last to settle his bills. Ministers who rehearse their sermons, practice what they preach. The husband ceases to talk shop when his wife begins to talk shopping. A fly is not very tall, yet it stands over six feet without shoes or stockings. A laboring bee produces hon ey; a belaboring is often produc tive of a black eye.
