NEW YORK MONDAY MORNING. JULY 8 1897.

An INciosNT.-For some days past we have no
uced number Of men and boys at the corners OF the
Prncpal streets, with baskets OF flowers, single, and
ia bouquets, which are purchased with readiness
that indicates the universal love for Floras beautiful
offspring. An incident which occurred yesterday
charmed US much that we must relate il. A lad
was standing near the corner of State street with
basket OF very handsome flowers, OF many varieties
surrounded by group of Purchasers, amongst whom
were several young ladies' colored man whom we
recognised as laoorer on the wharves mingled with
the group and surveying the flowers attentvey took

the young ladies' and his eyes sparkled with plea

good fellow went on his way rejoicing. He had pro-

the rose was delicate and graceful expression of his

AN EsGLlsH,aAN AND HIS LAwYER.-The English
Mlor had resided at Rome but few months, when
he was waited on by succession of dealers in vlrtu,
who to his asionshment came, not to solicit com,
missions for Venuses and Mercuries, but to demand
payment of "ther bills" ~ John Bull burst out first
laughter, and next into rage, gave them his op!n-
ion Of their merits in round English, and, finally de-
cIaring that his only answer would be the horsewhp
or the horsepond, put the whole deputauon TO the
Iout down the marble steps OF his piazza Nex,day'
however he was waited on by more formidable re-
susiiion IN the shape Of of the Governors Shb-
ri, ordering his attendance with the money in ques-
ton on pain Of being sent TO jail. There are no ha-
beas corpuses, nsoven acts, nor any OF the Eng
sh frippery of rights and wrongs, in Rome, all is so
lid payment plain prosecution, and jail tor life. The
Englishman devoted pope, governor, and dealers IN
viru, to the Dii names, and drove TO famous advo
cate. "You say you never bought this five hundred
crowns of bronzes, nor this three thousand!-"
"Three thousand fur RESI-" exclaimed the English
man, "do you take me for mailman have not
bought sixpence worth Of their gew-gaws since ]
came into LONE, and intend TO leave it tomorrow,
without she purchase of so much sleeve button
"Then you intend TO pay the money, Of course =
aNot paul." said the Engishman; al can swear
that never the yellow visage of one OF these
rascas before"
The advocate at length, however, succeeded in
bringing his angry client leave the matter TO his
management. The money being paid into court, the
trial fingered marvellously, for this was in the frs
place the genius Of the legislature and In the next
the enemys advocate was directed TO bring into the
malaria season. the period when all foreigners natural
" take flight and when the inkeepers lay an addl-
tlonal tax upon the English post chaIses. John Bull
roared in vain and the point Of giving up the
cause be let loose for Albano Naples or any Other
part of the EARTH where he could escape SIX months
ague and paralysis for life. Fortune favored him al
last The malaria fever had made its way into the
governors household and his prelaeship ordered the
business Of the court TO be concluded with the ut
most expedition. Tue advocate waited on the Eng
llshnan. "You may order your horses" said he,
we have gained our cause"
Bravo said the CLIENT of course you showed
that TIE fellows could prove my ever having or
dered their trumperyr'
Quite the contrary" said the advocate; " they
proved the fact and proved by no less than twenty
witnesses, who had all sworn that they had seen you
order them"
The Enelshman pronounced that expression,
which makes such figure in the mouth of a British
sailor, and which Figaro declares to be "c fond DC u
fdngNe."
Bot how did you beat them n
"Sweanng against them would be of no use, so
brought five and twenty witnesses TO swear that the,
goa pay for them. The fellows were not prepar
ed for this, and you gained your cause"
