wild Flowers in Norway.


The abundance and brillancy of color
of the flowers of these northern coun-
tries is remarkable. The most common
of all at this time is our pansy. Finding
it first near fence by mill, the natural
inference was that a neighboring garden
had overrun its borders. But no, it is
as wild and as common here as our own
eye-bright, springing up by the roadside,
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 arrangement. Sometimes wholly
white, sometimes dark red purple
throughout, they are oftenest a medium
size, with their two upper petals soft
blue purple shading through blue into
pale yellow below. Looking at them
| fiuttering ia 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 so abundant that our wild
violet, which grows here also, seems
hardly worthy of notice. 20
Another of our choice flowers, equally
common, is the lily Of the valley, pre-
eisely the same in color, size and per-
fume as our garden flower Coming
from Stockholm, at the different stations
we found children under tho car windows
with hands and arms and baskets full Of
them. great delicious bunehes, for a
penny each, We we're still incredulous
enough to ask where they came from;
but when the small brown fist pointed to
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 plre blue, some
times coloring whole fields. .rref
All our common wild flowers come
and 90 here at the same time and in the
saEsa order as in New England We
miss no one except the eyebright and
arbutus, which should not, perhaps, be
called common with We, il is found in

the ground. Many fields aga bright with
tall flower q little like our meadow
pink, of color so deep as to be almost
crimson, making Q GHe contrast to the
ox-eye daisy Of our meadoNs, which is
often mixed with it. A tall spike of
blue flowers, as blue as our deepest
laFispur, borders many Of the country
roads; Eoees grow wild in almost every
color-white, yellow, red and pink, and

The particulars, as learned by our re-

ACCIDENT ON MONT BLANC.

The Journal de Genece gives the follow
ing account of terrible accident upon
Mont Blanc:
Three travellers, an Irishman and two
Americans. with three guides and five
porters, left Chamounix on Monday
morning, to arrive that day and sleep at
the Grands- -Mulets. The weather was
fine, but the next morning there was so
violent a storm that the Inhabitants Of
Chamounix naturally supposed that the
travellers would have given up the idea of
an ascent of Mont Blanc, and would not
have quilted the Grands-Mulets. There
was, therefore, no disquiet respecting
them in the valley News came, it is
true, in the evening, that from the Croix
de Flegere and from Brevent that they
had been seen starting for Mont Blanc in
spite of the tempest, and that they had ar
rived upon the Dromedary's Hump, an
hours march distant from the summit !;
that they had been seen suddenly to col
lect together and to hold fast one to
another, and then to disappear in the
snow wreaths raised by the wind. In
spite of this, however, people persisted in
believing that they must have sheltered
themselves against the wind in some nook
or crevice of the ice, and therefore there
was no great occasion to fear for the re-
suit. However, when the next day the
proprietor of the Pavilion de la Pierre
Pointue arrived, expressing his astonish-
ment at finding that no one had redescend-
ed, people began to have serious appre-
tensions regarding the fate of the travel
ers. The day was too far advanced to
render it possible to make any immediate
search but on the following day thirty-two
young men of the valley went off in search
of them. Unfortunately the shocking
weather which prevailed prevented them
from passing the pavilion of Pierre-Poin-
tue, situated at two hours journey from
Chamounix. They were obliged to re-
trace their steps without being able to do
anything. On the following day new
attempt was made by twelve courageous
young men; but again the rain and wind
did not permit them to scale the mountain.
At the time of writing there remains no
hope that these unfortunate people have
| escaped death. It is probable that at the
moment when they were seen for the last
time grouped together on the top OF the
Bosses du Dromadaire, they were making
supreme effort to withstand the tempest
so terrible on those heights; that their
effort was of no avail and that they were
preciptated together upon the Glacier du
Mirage, which spreads out on the side OF
the Alice Blanche. We have been fur
nished with the names of two of the
guides, Jean Balmatek and Joseph
Breton, who were well known on account
of their numerous ascensions. One of the
porters was young Garde Mobile, who.
on account Of being the support of his
his family, was excused from service and
sent home q few days previously. His
father was killed some years ago on the
Grands-Mulets by the falling Of stone
detached from rock. This terrible
drama has produced at Chalnounix ar
emotion which we shall not attempt tc
describe. The whole of the valley is lit,
orally in mourning.

But this did not mean that the people should
not cross. In few moments the space
IN front of the Vatican was full of people
waving tri-color cockades, who, looking
up toward the Papal residence, began his

The pope became alarmed and sent inn

came forward and begged that he would

to send some troops to re-establish order
The soldiers had fired on the populace, and
things were looking very serious. Count
Arnim left the Pope, and on his way met
Gen. Angioletti, and asked him to comply
at once with the Pope's request Of course
the answer was that he had no authority
in the matter, and Gen. Cardorna himself
must be consulted. They both proceeded
that before signing the capitulation he had
asked Gen. Kanzler whether he believed
that the Swiss and Palatine guard would

it might be interpreted as breach of faith.
Count Arnim returned to the Vatican, and
the Pope seeing no way to escape wrote
an autograph letter to Gen. Cardorna, ask
ing him to send the Italian soldiers to pro-
tect him from the populace. Gen. Cardor-
ma telegraphed to Florence for instruc-
tions, and the Pope'sdemand was complied
with.
