After a boquet is drooping beyond all remedies of fresh. water, the' Japan. ese caii bring it back to all its glory by"a very simple and seemingly most destructive operation. "I had re.cp.iv . J. ed," says a visitor in Japan, "a bunch of flowers from a Japanese acquaintance." They continued to liyc in all their beauty for. nearly two weeks, when at last they faded. Just as I was about to have them thrown away, the same gentleman (Japanese gentleman) , came to see me, I showed him the faded flowers, and told hiin tli^t, though lasting a long time, they ! had now become - useless. cOh ! no,' said he, 'only 'put the ends of the stems into the fire, and they will be as good as" before.' - I was incredulous ; so he took them himself and held, the stem ends in the fire until they were completely charred. This was in the morning", at evening they were again fresh and vigorous, and have continued so for another week." Scone ;it tiic Sanitary Fair in SI. ** Louis. >' The Missouri Republican gives a well executed wood cut illustration representing a scene on avliichit coni' ments as follows: In tjiis. instance we think it will be acknowledged that Mackwitz lias C* * done full justice to the memorable - scene in the Sanitary Fair at St.. Louis, when twro negroes were introduced . at one of the tables in the Liuilede ' (Jeff e fealoon, aficl young ladies of the ' highest respectability'were required ' to furnish tliem ^th refreshments. As will be recollected, there was some sensation at the time aiqong all classes of white people, and quite a strenuous effort was made/to keep the scene out of the newspapers, lest it should 4 dkmage the prospects of tlife Fitir.? The press took a different view of mat ier, and commented upon the outrages as it' deserved, and as the people justified. Siuce then the skill of the artist has ben called into requisition, and the engraving herewith presented gives it with a fidelity which will be acknowledged by almost every one. If things go on as they have ' commenced, these scenes, though exceedingly repulsive in this instance, will have to be endured, for there seems to be 110 limit t<> the fanaticism of thosqpeople now seriously atllictcd .with "negro on ^he brain," and who insist that a black is esssentially, in all things,'better than a* white m an.
