Thackeray is printed in the Pall Mall (razette, Yangtare Insurance AssociationTI., 130 GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY.
"Kensington, W., Wednesday Dear Ned: You askine for a recipe for restoring your eyes to their wonted Itistry and brilliancy. Very good. Hara you aro. Take them out and wash well, first with soap and water, and afterward with a scla tion of nitric acid, white sand and blacking. Let them dry woll, and then replace them. fastering them in their places with gum water. One great advantage of the discovery is that by tarning the papils inward, on restoring the eyes to their placos ügain, a view of the whole internal economy may be obtained, and thus the precept of the old philosopher, to know thyself, he rea- dily complied with. There Will that suit you? Eh? Generously yours, W. M. Thackeray."

A southern botanist, Mr. A. A Luber, of Macon, Georgia, has been experimenting for Avaral years to hybridise the cotton plaat that grows wild in Florids with the common skra, and it appears to have been at last successfal The new plant retains the okra stalk and the foliage of the cotton. Its flower and fruit, how ever, are strikingly unlike either cotton or okra The plant has an average height of it, and each plant has only one bloom. This is a mag-China Sugar Rafining Company, Limited-101. nilcent flower, very much like the great mag- nolia in fragrance and equally a Inego. Liks the bloom of the cotton plant the flower is white for several days after it opeus, after which it is first pale pink, and gradually aasame darker shades of this colour nntil it becomes rad, when
it drops, disclosing a large ball. For about fon days this boll resembles the cotton ball, and then its growth suddenly increases until it reaches the size of a cooormat. The Ent does not appear until this size is reached Thoa its mowy threada begin to burst from the ball, but are scaraly held in place by the okra like thorns or paints that line the boll. Each ball is said to produce about 2lbs. of very long-stapled cotton
