Slow tlie Japanese Restore Faded
Flowers.
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.

>' 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

attempting t.o run into this port Monday night,
ran ngftinst^tho wreck of the steamer Minho,
and grounded fast nearly opposite Fort Moultrie,
Sullivan's Island. Finding it impossible
to get her off the oilicers and crew removed
their baggage and a part of the cargo in small'
boats to Sullivans's J.<lat:d. About daylight
the Yankee batteries opened heavily upon the
l'rinec Albert, completely riddling her with
shot and shell, and ^several times setting the
vessebou fire, rapidly reducing her to a total
wreck. Only a sni/ill portion of,the cargo,which
consisted chmlly of medicines and other. "
