The Fuschia.

THE FUSCHIA .

THIS plant was named in memory of the celebrated German physician and botanist , Leonhard Fuohs , who was born at the commencement of the sixteenth century , 200 years before its discovery . In connection with the introduction of this plant into England , a very excellent anecdote is told by Humphreys , in his " Stories of an Archaeologist . " The following is merely an excerpt from the same : A sailor leaves his young wife , and joins his ship to continue his uncertain vocation—the sea , requesting his wife Mary to take especial care ., amongst other things , of a precious little slipping which has been termed fche

" Crimson Drop . " But Jack is absent for about four years , a longer period than his wife anticipated and he had intended , and the usual result follows , misfortune and extreme indigence . In the midst of this an old gentleman of very peculiar appearance was one day observed to be viewing fche " . Crimson Drop " ( a very valuable specimen of the Fuschia Coccinea ) with an eye of envy . Ultimately the stranger knocked at the door , was admitted into the house , and at once stated that he had taken a fancy to the little plant in the windowoffering at fche same time a guinea for possession of it .

, Mary , although in urgent need of the money , proved obdurate , and refused to part with the slipping . The visitor increased his offer to five guineas , but still Mary ' s faithfulness to her absent husband's memory triumphed over all actual necessities , and she was as adamant , although not knowing how to provide a meal for the following day , that of Christmas ,

Christmas Day came with its attendant discomforts to poor Mary at Wapping , where she lived with her son and father , the latter a retired tar of the veteran type . But a few hours' sunshine amidst the snow and gloom of the season had effected wonders in the appearance of the plant . _ " One of the buds had expanded , the crimson calyx had unloosed the hinges of its four elliptic segments , " and the plant appeared in all its perfection of

loveliness . On the day after Christmas Day , however , the landlord , clamorous for his rent , had sent a broker , who entered the house with his men and proceeded to remove the few goods which remained , amongst others being an old Jamaica chest , which the absent Jack had prized very highly . Aa the

cart which contained the household effects moved away , the stranger beforementioned appeared on the threshold , and , after soundly rating Mary for refusing money when in such dire need of it , repeated his offer . But Mary was too faithful fco the promise made to her absent husband to relent , and again repulsed the stranger ' s offer to purchase the plant .

In the midst of the wife ' s distress , however , Jack , whose voyage had happily ended , arrived upon the scene , and as the stranger was still anxious with regard to the purchase of the plant , it was ultimately sold to him for six guineas . Jack also purchased back the Jamaica chest , whioh , upon being opened , revealed to the astonished spectators specie of great value , which the provident sailor had saved unknown to his wife . In fche skilful hands of the purchaser the plant multiplied , until he had at last realised by fche sale of various slifcfcings a sum of £ 30 , 000 , the outcome of his investment of six guineas at Wapping . " The Book of Rarities , " by Edward Roberta P . M .

INCREASED FACILITIES FOR TOURISTS TO SCOTLAND . IN future passengers taking tourists tickets from stations on the Midland Railway to Glasgow , via North British , or Glasgow and South Western Railways , may travel at option on the return journey either by the North

British Waverley route via Edinburgh , or from Glasgow ( St . Enoch ) by the Glasgow and South Western route via Dumfries and Annan , an arrangement which , we venture to think , will be appreciated by those who , like ourselves , take considerable interest in studying the country passed through on a railway journey .

THE craze for cycling , which has of late affected the aristocracy , and has naturally gone through all grades of society , has resulted in most of the leading firms of cycle manufacturers developing into Limited Companies . The latest firm to take this step is that of J . K . Starley and Company , proprietors of the Imperial Rover Cycle . The capital of the Company is the moderate one of £ 200 , 000 , and as it is said that orders in hand are far above the possible production , there should be a good return for investors .
