A Remarkable Rose Bush.


There is in the garden Of Mr.. Lewis,
at Hoboken, New York, rose tree,
which bears pure white and pink flow
ers on alternate branches, the colors be-
ing distincton their respective branches,
and not the least blended one with ano-
ther. lis quite different from the Gre
vile, which bears white and purple
flowers and every intermediate shade
and lint. What makes the tree remark
able is, that the flowers are natural, hav-
ing been produced without incubation or
grating, and entirely of spontaneous
growth. At Nibio's garden, there are
rose trees seemingly the same, but be-
ing SO only in appearance, AS the colors
are acknowledged to hare been produced
by Observation-Disclosures TrafS.
Gen. Lafayette and Henry Clays
We have just come in possession Of
an anecdote in manner which enables
US to say that it is perfectly authentic
An officer Of tho United States Navy,
being in the city Of Paris in the fall Of
1882, was invited by Gen. Lafayette to
visit him at Lagrange, his country seat,
The invitation was accepted, aud The Of
ficer Of course enjoyed IN the highest
degree the elegant and hearty hospital
ity which the noble old veteran always
displayed TO Americans. During the
three days which the American naval
officer spent at Lagrange, much conver-
sation was had on the affairs and the
prominent men or lie United States.-
OF such topics the name Of Henry Clay
could not be but conspicuous one; and
the General fjund that his guest was not
only a political admirer but personal
acquaintance and friend Of that great
American Statesman. The General,
therefore, was not constrained, as the
sequel will show, by the dGlicacy due to
the feelings Of one Of whose sentiments
he was ignorant, to conceal his own sin
cere sentiments Of Mr.. Clay. The
American officer sci out at four or five
10 the morning in diligence for Paris.
Not expecting to find The old war worn
soldier stirring at so early an hour, he
was leaving without d formal farewell.
As he was crossing the court, however,
George Washington Lafayette, the son
Of the General, followed him and told
him his father desired to see him. He
was introduced into the Generals study,
where. by the light Of candles, he was
employing his pen. Pressing his guest
in vain to remain longer, the General
said: "Before you leave me, | want 10
show you our friend;" and leading into
another room, he exhibited portrait of
Mr.. Clay. "Sir," said the General,
"Thct,is The man ,ctom I hope / :see
President of the United STATES" The
incident was happy one, and produced
lasting impression on the mind Of the
officer. The bosom companion Of Wash
ington, his comrade in arms in the glori-
Gus Revolution, feeling the deepest in
terest in the welfare OF the U. States,
and well acquainted with their policy,
their institutions and their great men,
Lafayette, with the wisdom Of The Fa-
ther OF his Country, pointed out the man
fit ard worthy 10 stand at tie head OF
his Government. But his sainied spiri,
will look down in AS and rejoice in the
consummation Of his hopes, which Hea-
ven impatient to claim one of lis first
born, denied him willie in the flesh
