London Antiquities.

\ letter, dated 1909, is addressed to the
Mayor and Aldermen by King James,
requesting them to preqent his chap
lain, Mr.. PheOphilUs Field, to st. Reterls,
COmhill. TheOphilus was an eminent
divine, and his brother Nathaniel was
as eminent an actor, one who stood up
boldly for the dignity of his profession.
Nathaniel Field, of Shakespeare COM
pany, is now better remembered than
TheOphilus, although the latter became
successfully, Bishop of Landau, St.
David's, aud Hereford. There is also,
n. ID. 1888, an ordinance of Charles the
First, which may be known to Mr.. w.
Chappell, but which is not noticed in
his famous work illustrative of the ma
tional music of England. 1t directs the
"refOrm of the march of this our English
nation, corrupted by time and negli-
gence of drummers and for the restoring
it to the ancient gravity, by the estab-
lishment of one constant measure, to be
hereafter observed and beaten by all
English drummers, in order that the
said ordinance, being impaired to the
cOlOnels and by them to the captains of
the several regiments of the city, may
be duly observed by all masters of the
trained bands" five remember right

had something TO do with bringing
about this musical ordinance. Among
other incidents of London life we find a
common cOuncilmen clapped into New
gate for declining to serve as alderman,
and Sir Richard Martin turned out of
his office of alderman for not behaving
like gentleman when in it. In mat
ters OF trade, the poor archers and bowers
pray that bOwlinggreens may be sup
pressed, and archery more encouraged.
We see the police of that day seeking
for "scandalOus books" or struggling
vainly against the carmen who block up

COuIdn't Find the Verdict.

Courts of a Southern State, an entire ne
gro jury was empanneIed. A case was
brought before them, the witness ex-
amined, and the attorneys made their
respective arguments.
The Judge, after laying down the law.
and recapitulating the evidence, gave

move to Greenwich, couple of hundred
carts were seized for the conveyance OF
his baggage. Trade was as much ham,
pered as the carmen; it literally walked
in fetteTs; and the religions public were
at as bitter issue between singing min
listers and preaching ministers as they
have been at any time ever since. One
is puzzled on first reading a decree for
raising $50 men "nOt with curates,n but
we remember that CUR and cuirasse be-
long to the same word, and that itmeans
a back and breast plate, which was or
iginally of leather. Plague seems to
have troubled the citizens as much as
impressment for war; and dOleful was
the appearance of the streets when no
one was allowed to issue from an infect
ed house, and every one fled from the
men who walked the streets with red
rods, knowing by the sign that they
were searchers. 1t is well to turn from
such scenes, and see how busy some
parts of the city are in. furthering the
expedition about to be undertaken be-
yOnd seas by Sir Francis Drake and Sir
John Hawkins. Perhaps as curious a
document as any here is the letter from
King Charles, in 1888 requesting sub
scriptiOns from the citizens toward the
erection of an academy for the educa-
ton of the young nobility and gentry in
the practice of arms and arts" We are
not surprised to find the citizens taking
no notice of this request, and His Majes-
ty, a year later, angrily inquiring what
they intended to do in the matter. Their
intent was to do nothing, and they did
it.-AtbenOuDl.

A Vast GrOgshOp.

Bear me witness if I exaggerate when
say, that the country is rapidly be-
coming one vast grOgshOp, to which
halfa million of its youth are yearly in
troduced, and over whose threshold
sixty thousand are annually carted to a
drunkard's grave. The streets of our
cities echo to the shouts and Oaths of
drunken jewellers, from whom society
seeks protection through police regula-
tiOns; and within hOvel and mansion
alike, not entirely smOthered either by
physical fear or social pride, is heard
the sound of insane violence and wall
ing. What river is there along our
coasts, what harhor upon whose shores
city stands, whose waters have not
closed over the bodies of those who,
victims to this traffic, were flung by vi
o!ent hands from pier or bridge, or mad
ly sought beneath their silent surface
fOrgetfuiness of woes or wretchedness too
pregnant to be borne? Within the
darkness of dungeons and along our
may be seen wrecks of form
er beauty and manhood wrought hy this
traffic, and now and then one, as by
after long years of misery and
debasement, reSGUoed therefrOm lifts up
his voice in public, and makes men
aghast with the recital Ofhis woes and
degredation.-IP W. H. Murray.

BETTING EXTRAORDINARILY.

THE New York Star, in an article on
betting, relates the following:
A distinguished physician was called
to attend an inveterate better, who was
attacked with sudden and dangerous
illness. After a careful diagnosis, the
doctor assured him that his condition
was extremely critical, and his chances
of recovery very doubtful. Thereat, the
patient rallied sufficient strength, and
the following oOllOquy ensued!
'Ill bet you hundred dollars, doctor
that don't die
My dear sir, you may not, but
think it proper to advise you that, in
my opinion, you will
We'll, doctor, if I die, viii I go to
heaven@
I hope so, sir
'Will l be an angel?
'Yes, sir
will have wings?
4 presume so, sir
We'll now, doctor, when you die will
you 90 to heaven and be an angel y
L trust so, sir
And will you have wings, tOO?'
Yes, I suppose will
We'll then, doctor, I'll bet YOU a hun
dreO dollars I will out. fly yOuv
The man died, but the doctor, who has
not YET taken the bet, is still living. If,
as some theorists hold, we take with us
into the new world the same prOpensiti-
es which We have in this, we have no
doubt that all the betting young Ameri-
cans, and old too, who read this, will,
in due time, be running around to make
bets on the flying match of our deceas-
ell sportsman whose ruling passion was
strong in death.

wild Flowers In Norway.

The abundance and hrilliance of color
of the wild flowers of the Northern
countries is remarkable. The most COM
mon at this time is our pansy. Find
ing it first near a mill, the natural infer
ence was that a neighbering garden had
OverTun its borders, But no, it is as
wild and as common here, as our own
eyebright, spring up by the rOadsides,
among the tall grass in the meadows,
and standing in thick clusters on the
rocks or hiding in the clefts. Of every
size, except really large, and of the usual
cOlOrs, in every shade and variety OF ar
rangement. Sometimes wholly white,
sometimes dark red purple throughout
they are Oftenest medium size, with
their two upper petals a soft blue purple
shading through blue into pale yellow
below. Looking at them fiuttering in
fresh masses on the rocks, they give the
effect of the most delicate purple flowers
so light that the wind must blow them
away. They are so beautiful and and so
abundant that our wild violet, which
grows here also, seems hardly worthy of
notice.
Another Of our choice flowers equally
common is the lily of the valley, precise
Iy the same in color, size and perfume
as our garden flower. Coming from
Stockholm, at the different stations we
found children under the car windows
with hands and arms and baskets full of
them, great delicious punches, for a pen
ny each. We were still incredulOus
enough to ask where they came from,
but when small brown fists pointed tow
ard the woods over beyond the station,
there was no longer room for doubt
The forget-me-nOts of our gardens also
abound here, growing little smaller as
a general thing, but of the same pure
blue, sometimes colOring whole fields.
All our common wild flower come and
go here at the same time and in the
same order as in New England. We
miss no one except the eyebright and ar
butus, which should not, perhaps, be
called common with US, it is found in so
comparatively few places, The sandy
soil in and about the pine woods
of Norway seem perfectly adapted to its
growth, but we have not been able to
find any traces of it where we have
been.
Among many that are quite new to us
is rich purple blossom, delicate and
small, but growing in full cluster low on |
the ground. Many fields are bright |
with fall flower a little like our mea- |
dow pink, of color so deep as to be al |
most crimson, making a fine contrast to |
the OX-eYe daisy of our meadows, which |
is often mixed with it. A tall spike of
blue flowers, as blue as our deepest lark !
spur, borders many of the country roads !
roses grow wild in almost every color
white, yellow, red and pink, and Of great |
fragrance; the wild geranium of our |
fields has q much richer color than with |
US, our harebells grow not only on the !
rocks and hills but by the roadsides, and |
purple cOlumbine, large and dark, takes |
the place of the light red of our rocks. /
The variety of bright yellow flowers is
almost innumerable.
