Rh —The exhibition of flowers to-day, at the Horticultural Hall, was very fine—the main features of the show being peonies, azalias, and hawthorns, many specimens of each being presented. Of the latter E. A. Story, of Brighton, had by far the most splendid collection. J. A. Kendrick, of Newton, likewise exhibited some beautiful specimens of the same shrub. The hardy azalias were of an elegant character, and the peonies gorgeous in the extreme. A seedling peony, from E. S. Cabot, of Salem, attracted much attention. It was a very fine species of the plant. A double flowering horse chestnut, from Thomas Page, Waltham, was likewise much admired. It is a new variety. The rhododendron was well represented, some capital specimens being exhibited. A fine rhododendron tree, from George Dodge, Boston, formed a prominent feature in the exhibition. Galvin and Hogan, of Somerville, made a very beautiful exhibition of cut flowers and a large bouquet revealing great taste in arrangement. Their pansys and rhododendrons were very elegant. J. Fiske Allen, of Salem, exhibited the flower of the Victoria Regia, that is alluded to in. Mrs. W. J. Underwood, of Wellington Hill, made an exceedingly neat display of 29 varieties of wild flowers, some of a very singular character. Of the peonies, as it was prize day, there were many varieties, of which M. P. Wilder, J. S. Cabot, Hovey & Co., and Joseph Breck & SonsSon [sic] were the principal contributors. Among those by the latter was a light carmine pink peony of much beauty. Mrs. Ashley, of Newburyport, contributed a very elegant show of pansies.

Of fruits but little was exhibited, dishes of nectarines and peaches, from J. Fiske Allen, of Salem, and some superb specimens of Cannon Hall and Alexandria grapes, from Jos. Breck & Son, of Brighton.

Of vegetables, large specimens of pieplant were exhibited from J. B. Moore of Concord, Jos. Breck & Son, and Bowen Harrington. Of that exhibited by Mr. Moore, 12 sticks weighed 23 lbs., and one of them two pounds. A very fine speciment of squash was exhibited, called the sweet potato squash, by Francis Marsh, of Roxbury, said to preserve its quality of taste for a long period.

The following prizes and gratuities were awarded by the committees:

Hawthorns—1st, E. A. Story, Brighton, $3; 2d, J. A. Kendrick, Newton, $2.

Hardy Azaleas—1st, M. P. Wilder, Cambridge, $6; 2d, E. A. Story, $4; 3d, J. A. Kendrick, $3.

Shrub Peonies—1st, M. P. Wilder, Dorchester, $5; 2d, E. S. Cabot, Salem, $4; 3d, J. Breck & Son, $3; gratuitiy to Hovey & Son, $3.

Gratuities.—To Thomas Page, $2, E. S. Rand, Jr., $2, and Parker Barnes, $2, for cut flowers; W. J. Underwood, for Pansies, $2; Mrs. W. J. Underwood, for native plants, $2; Galvin & Hogan, for cut flowers, $2; James Nugent, for same $2; George Dodge, for plant Rhododendron, $1; J. S. Cabot, for seedling peony, $1; Mrs. Wm. Ashley, of Newburyport, for pansies, $1; J. F. Allen, for Victoria Regia, $2.

—The season closed May 30th with a $2500 house, and Maretzek had a well deserved bumper complimentary on the following Monday at which all the artists, musicians and choristers gave their services. A just tribute is paid him by the N. Y. Times which formerly demurred to his claims as a conductor. The proprietors of the Opera House had a meeting last Saturday to consider its embarrassments, the second mortgage upon it—$50,000 in amount—having become due. The proprietors must subscribe $150 on each share by the 15th inst., or this mortgage will be foreclosed and the building sold. A warm discussion was also had upon the 240 seats transferrable at pleasure which are so injurious to this Opera House in all respects. A strong desire is felt in New York that Max Maretzek should become its lessee, having proved by his direction since Mr. Paine abdicated, that he is the only man who can manage the Academy without loss. Mr. Paine offers his efforts there which cost $20,000 for $9,000, and the Times says Maretzek and his friends would become lessee for three years at $22,000 a year if the right to seats be given up, but not otherwise. By the charter, stockholders are only entitled to admission, but they have grabbed a choice of the best seats with a right to keep them empty in a crowded house or sell or give them away. No lessee can sanely permit such a privilege and competition with his box office.

—There will be a meeting at Bedford Street Church Sunday evening, June 8, at 7½ o’clock, in aid of the society worshipping at Washington under the charge of Rev. Mr. Conway. The church building which has been erected has proved deficient and unsafe, and will require a large expenditure to restore it. The society is by no means wealthy, and has taxed itself largely, but cannot effect this object without material aid. The Unitarian Association have recommended this meeting in order to present the claims of the Washington Society and raise funds. Mr. Conway and others will address the meeting. The object is certainly praiseworthy and a large attendance is expected.

—The United States Board of Trade of Music Publishers held a meeting at the Tremont House on Wednesday and Thursday, at which delegates from every city in the Union, where music is published, were present. Among those from abroad were Messrs. Hall and Pond from N. York, Lee and Winner from Philadelphia, Willig and Miller from Baltimore, Peters from Cincinnati, &c. The meeting was one of much interest, and everything passed off famously. The officers for the ensuing year are the following:—Oliver Ditson, President; G. Willig, Vice President; S. Winner, Secretary.

—Workmen are now at work removing the row of small wooden houses which for many years have been located at Shawmut Avenue, near Dover street. They are to be placed at the corner of Castle and Tremont streets. Their former site will be improved by the erection of a block of brick houses, which will greatly add to the appearance of that neighborhood.

—New York, July 31.—Gentlemen:—Having suffered many years from repeated attacks of dyspepsia in its worst form, and almost exhausted my hopes of being able to obtain any permanent relief, I was induced to have recourse to the Oxygenated Bitters, prepared by Dr. George B. Green, for which you are agents. It gives me great pleasure to say, that its effect upon me has been highly beneficial, eradicating the disease, and restoring me to good health; and I sincerely hope that all who may be suffering from that dreadful disease, will be induced to give the medicine a trial, fully believing they will not be disappointed in the result.

Of uncommon personal loveliness, she possessed a gentle and affectionate heart, the most engaging manners, and those winning traits of character which are sure to surround their possessor with strongly attached friends. In the fullness of health and the bloom of youthful beauty, a mother’s anxious solicitude and weary watchings over the illness of her child prostrated her, so that she fell an easy victim to the Asiatic scourge, and died in twenty hours after she was attacked. All the Americans in port were present at her funeral, the service being performed by Rev. Mr. Leslie, of the Baptist Church. Six days afterwards the mother’s grave was opened to receive the remains of her beloved boy. Mrs. R. was the first of a household band, consisting of father, mother and thirteen children, to be summoned to the spirit world, and upon this large circle in all its extended relations, as well as upon her doubly bereaved husband, the blow falls heavily.

—A large meeting was held here to-night to ratify the nomination of Buchanan and Breckenridge. The Hon. Mr. Smith of Tenn. presided. Mr. Cass was introduced to the meeting and was received with thunders of applause. He said a voice had reached them from the Far West, borne by that mysterious agent which defies both time and pace, announcing that the Convention has named to the party the name of a statesman for the chief magistracy of the United States, who will unite the hopes and exertions of the whole Union. That man is James Buchanan. He eulogised him for his public experience, his private worth and his strict adherence to democratic principles, and said let every true Democrat buckle on his armor, not the armor of Sharp’s rifles but the armor of true reason and persuasion, and go forth to conquer. He spoke approvingly of Mr. Breckenridge, the nominee for the Vice Presidency, saying he would be a faithful co-laborer with Buchanan. He wished success to both, but above all, success to this glorious Union.

Mr. Douglas was then introduced and was rapturously received. He endorsed, to their fullest extent, the remarks of Mr. Cass, and eulogised the patriotism and firmness of the President on the leading issues of the day, and claims for him a bright page in his country’s history, when the passions of the day shall have subsided.

He rejoiced that his own course on the Nebraska and Kansas question had been endorsed by the noble resolves of the Convention. The Democracy, he said, throughout our widely extended Union, would go to work in the good cause. He exhorted his hearers also to prepare for the combat. With such candidates we must triumph. If I have a friend in the Union, he said in conclusion, who loves me, let him put his shoulders to the wheel and do everything in his power to win the fight.

Messrs. Cass and Douglass were frequently interrupted by applause. When the music and wild huzzas had ceased, those who composed the meeting, formed in procession and proceeded to serenade the President, who, it was understood would make a speech in approval of the proceedings of the Convention.

How shall uniformity of complexion be preserved? And when through inadvertance, necessary exposure, or other cause, it has been lost, how shall it be restored?

These, and similar questions, occur daily to every one; and at the toilet, by the use of various preparations and prescriptions, an answer is often sought in vain. The preparations sold in the stores are often useless, sometimes injurious.

The inventor of the Kalliston has made this matter a subject of chemical analysis, and this preparation is offered as one exactly adapted to the unnatural conditions of the skin, and as one which will relieve its glandular parts, and induce that fine action of the capillaries which give both beauty and health to the complexion.
