Sun spots.

Forgetful of the gratitude we owe to
our friend, the sun, for warming and
lighting the earth all these centuries
past, we grudgingly complain, because
of a few cool spots on his burning face,
and attribute our thousand and one ills
TO their presence. If It's too hot, or too
cold, if an earthquake sets the world
trembling, drouth withers the crops or
storms drown them, we shake our heads
wisely and say it is all because Of Old
Soils indisposition. Now among scien-
lists there exists difference of opinion
as to the degree of effect the sun spots
have upon the earth. There is no doubt
that the spots are cooler than the sur
rounding portions of the photosphere,
but the difference is so slight that it is by
no means certain that the seasons are
appreciably affected by the presence or
absence of them. AT present our entire
confidence is centered in but one meteor
ologist-0ld Probabilities; when he bases
his theories upon the spotted fever of the
sun, calculates its periodicity, and by the
knowledge so gained tells us in ~ what
kind of a season '73 will be, then and
only then shall we believe that sun spots
influence the earth ard bring about our
meteorological haps and mishaps.

A Japonica Hedge.

In the town of Greensboro, Ala, is 8
striking and very beautiful japonics
hedge Of which correspondent Of Ap
pletons Journal sends the following
description: fa Hf
| Our hedge, the special pride Of our
good townspeople, averages eight feet in
hight, and extends its impenetrablt
masses of dark green foliage more than
eighty yards. Seemingly regardless oi
the laws of nature, which constitute
light and heat indispensable agents in
calling forth the treasures of the floral
kingdom, this most beautiful of our ex
otics bursts into bloom, in the midst oi
the inclement days Of February. When
the whole face of nature is clad in sober
grays and browns, this brilliant array OF
every hue, from the faintest rose-color to
the deepest carnation, is spectacle of
which the eye does not soon weary.
The boughs are heavily laden with their
lovely burden, cleaning through the
glossy leaves, whose polish art yainly
strives to initiate; while hundreds of
blossoms, which would be of inestimable
value to the city florist, make with their
fallen petals a bright.hued carpet, sur
passing in its gorgeous beauty the pro-
ducts Of the looms of Brussels or Ak
minister.
at is not often that the japonica is
seen in such profusion. No common
wildwood flower blooms more luxur-
iantly; and every child that cares to
pluck them carries away huge bouquets,
few tiny buds of which the city belle
would prize more than costly trinkets.
The soil in which they grow is a rich,
dark loan, with large mixture of clay.
Burying the lower limbs as layers is the
method by which they are generally
propagated, though some adopt the more
tedious plan of raising seedlings on
which to graft shoots from blooming
tree. For the first few years some pro-
lection from the severity of even a
Southern climate is necessary, but, after
reaching the hight of three or four feet,
the most intense cold fails to injure
them to any serious extent The full
blown flowers are, of course, blighted;
but, securely cased in their thick envel-
opes, those which are less mature bid de-
fiance to the weather, and, coming as
they do almost in mid-winter, are justly
priced as ornaments. The rarer white
blossoms, borne by the two trees at one
extremity Of the hedge at Greensboro,
are as highly priced as the far-famed
immortelles. Immediately after re-
cent snow storm the scene presented was
one worthy of painters skill, and GER
tainly calling into requisition his most
glowing colors. The snowy mantle in
which the earth was wrapped seemed
adorned with band of the richest scar
let embroidery. Glistenihg icicies, pen
dent from every polished leaf, flashed
in the sunlight like countless diamonds,
coronet for this, the queen of flowers" f"

the mammon of unrighteousness as per-
sonified by the Governor Of Illinois,
For as the consumpitve person who is
married in his weakness as a bridegroom
rejoiceth in his strength, and exhibits a
tenacity of life agonizing to his bride
and intolerable to his mother-in-law,
even so the felonious person is likely to
be perverse, so that he shall not serve
out half his term nor his wife have her
fling of Irritation before he insists
upon encumbering his estate with his
person. To be sure his wealthy and re-
spectacle bride has married him on the
implied faith of his serving out his sen.
tence. But there is no honor among
thieves. A notorious hotel thief is
none to good to ask and to accept par
don, and to darken with the sadness of
his freedom the young life which opens
with so hopeful promise of his pro-
longed incarceration.

An Eventual history.

The vicisstudes Of the Elysee-Bour-
bon, and, indeed, it may be added, of
most of the tenants, form not the least
| striking phase in the annals of the ma
tienal monuments in France Built in
Ills by Molle for the Comte dEvreux, it
was afterward purchased by Madame de
Pompadour. who considerably enlarged
it. Louis XIV. sold it in 1773 Gt had
since Madame de Pompadours decline
and fall been used as the gdrde-meubte
Of the CROWN to the great fnancier
Beaujon, who, with the prodigality al
ways to be found in one of his calling
in that age, filled it with magnificent fur
niture, pictures, bronzes and marbles in
prefusion. The Duchesse de Bourbon
purchased it in l776, and embellished it
still further; from her it derived the
name Of Elysee-B Bourbon, which, in spite
of all political changes, it has preserved
even to this day. 1t OF course became
national property " in 1898, and was
stripped of all its riches. This trans
formation effected, it was let to the con
tractors of public fetes, and gaming
tables formed part Of its attractions.
AS even amid the carnage and disorder
then rampant people affected great
love for rural distractions, it was re-
named Hameau de Chantilly," and
grottoes were constructed in the gardens
in imitation of the Prince de Condos
delightful retreat at Chantilly. The
piece of water was provided with
eight small boats; games and dane
ing beneath large trees, as well as con-
certs and fireworks, made it popular
resort. In addition to the pleasures
enumerated, apartments looking ON to
the gardens we're to be hired at q price
which would not now procure one
sous,sol in the Foubourg st, Antoine.
Murat bought the palace in 1903, but
made it over to his brother-in-law FIVE
years later The Emperor was much
attached to this residence, which was his
last in France, for it was there that he
signed his second abdication. lmme-
diately after the restoration of 1915 the
Elysee was the residence of the Emperor
of Russia, and then was given to the Due
de Berri. During Louis Philippe reign
the place was uninhabited, but in lS4S
it was selected as the abode of the Pres
ident. of the Republic. Its competition
with the coup d etdt is too recent to re-
quire notice, and tits equally well known
that Napoleon, upon his elevation to the
throne left it for the Tuileries. From
1862 to 1870 it was used for the recep-
tion of the numerous sovereigns who
visited Paris, and it had been chosen as
the palace in which the Prince Imperial
was to reside upon the attainment of his
majority. The, course of events has,
however willed II otherwise, aud M
Theirs now holds high state in the favor
ite palace of the great soldier whose his
tory he wrote in such hattering terms,
and between whom and himself he be-
lieves there is such striking resem-
blance, moral as well as physical.

Johann strauss.

The first appearance Of Johann
Strauss, who is coming to the Jubilee, in
London was in 1863, and created no
small excitement. Every night, in the
middle of the concert, slim and dandi-
fed young man, with a profuse black
beard and mustache, would step jaun-
tily on the platform vacated by Signor
Rottesini. His appearance was the sig
nal for frantic applause, to which, fiddle
and bow in hand, he bowed good humOr-
edly; then, turning sharp round, he
would catch the eye of every one in the
band, and raising his violin bow would
plunge into one of those rapturous
dances which, once heard, could never
be forgotten Now shaking his bow at
the distant drummer, edging on the wind,
picking up the bases, turning fiercely on
the stringed instruments; then stamping,
turning pirouette, and dashing his bow
down on his own fiddle strings, the clear
twanging of his violin would be heard
for some moments above all the rest.
Presently the orchestra sways as one
man into the measure, which flows ca
prieiously-now tearing along, then sud
denly languishing, at the will of the
magic electric violin. Johann Strauss
danced, pit and boxes danced the lights
twinkled in time; everybody and every
thing seemed to turn into waltz or
galop by yonder inexorable "pied
piper, until some abrupt clang brought
all to a close, and the little man was left
bowing and smiling, and capering back
ward to an audience beside themselves
with delight Nothing of the kind had
been seen in England before, and all
that can be said is, that of its kind it is
simply inimitable. .r

A Berlin letter to the Boston Globe
contains the following:
There is nothing of much importance
passing here, save military movements,
which bring one back to the days of the
great Frederick and Sans Souci. These
frequent reviews will completely satiate
curiosity. A few days ago, however, /
happened to walk mile out of town,
and seeing some soldiers under arms in
field, at small distance from the
road, | went toward them. An officer
on horseback, in the undress uniform of
Major Of the line, was uncommonly
active, and often rode among the ranks
to reprimand and instruct the men. He
had his sword drawn, and continued to
exercise the corps for an hour after.
He made them wheel, march, form
square and fire by divisions and pla-
toons, observing all their movements
with infinite attention. An officer made
some blunder, and was Immediately
placed under arrest. The review over,
he called all the officers around him,
spoke to them for some ten minutes, dis
missed them and rode off, A young en-
sign being near, questioned him: "Who
is that oliieerY That is General Won
Moltke." No wonder the Prussians can
fight.

An old Lady on Surprise Parties.

A lady correspondent who lives in a
manufacturing town in Rhode Island
was recently the victim of q surprise
party, and relates her experience as
follows: II have never imposed upon
any of my friends or neighbors by at
tending surprise party, and as long as
i remain sane never will. But | have
been the unwilling recipient of one OF
those social nuisances dubbed a silver
wedding. Isaac and i knew as well as
anybody that we had been married
twenty-five years, but we did not wish
to celebrate the event for numerous rea-
sons. We didn't wish to beg for pres
ents. Our house is not large enough to
accommodate all we would wish to in
vite on such an occasion, and we could
not bring ourselves to slight any; and,
not being partial to large parties, judge
of our CONSERVATION when we were
overwhelmed by mob consisting Of
some of our friends, and many who
were not our friends or even acquaint-
ances-Tom, Dick and the Dragon, any
one who could be induced to sign their
names to a paper and pay their money
TO help buy tea-set, under the prom
ise of coming to our house and
having gay time, just as they would
have paid for going to any place of pub
lie amusement. The presents were
very nice indeed, but | shall never use
them, and for them we are put under
obligation to a class of people whose ac-
quaintance we did not desire. They
rummaged and ransacked the house from
garret to cellar, looked into my closets
and bureau drawers, and even counted
the blankets on my own and my SER
wants beds, smashed my pet cast, wore
holes in my sitting-room carpet by dane
ing on it, and have made capital for gos-
sip out Of my household arrangements
generally. There were even people
present to whom Twas not introduced.
We have always been Independent; re-
tained our old friends and made few
new ones. Now l am expected to call
on Mrs. this, that and the other, and to
speak to their husbands and brothers
when Imeet them in the street, for their
names are on that paper, which accom-
panied our silver, among the list OF
donors. put down my veil, hoping
one of these new friends, who is some
what intoxicated, will not recognize me,
and as get past hear him say; Proud
old vixen-wish l had the dollar !
throsced away on her silver tea-setl" ]
have lost my independence and self
respect, and am quite miserable under
ell this obligation, which can never
hope to repay. And ] look upon the
whole affair as an unwarrantable piece
of interference, for which ] shall never
pardon the idle busy bodies who, for
want of something better for excitement,

From the London Examiner.
In LEstrange's Life of the Rev. w.
Harness we find these anecdotes OF
Lord Byron: At time when Coleridge
was. in great embarrassment, Rogers,
when callingon Byron, ehanced to men,
ton it. He Immediately went to his
writing desk and brought hack check
for hundred pounds, and insisted on
its being forwarded to Coleridge. |
did not like taking it, said Rogers, who
told me the story, for | knew he was in
want of it himself, His servants he
treated with a gentle consideration of
their feelings which have seldom wit
messed in any other, and they were de-
voted to him. At Newstead there was
an old man who had been butler to his
mother and | have seen Byron as the
old man waited behind his chair at din
ner, pour out glass ofwine and pass it
to him when he thought we were too
much engaged in conversation to observe
what he was doing. The transaction was
thing Of custom, and both parties
seemed to fatter themselves that it was
clandestinely effected A hideous old
woman, who had been brought in to
nurse him when he was unwell
at one of his lodges, and whom
few would have cared to retain
about them longer than their ser
vices were required, was carried
with him, in improved attire, to his cham
bers in the Albany, and was seen, after
his marriage, gorgeous in black silk, at
his house in Piccadilly, She had done
him service, and he eeuld not forget
it. OF his attachment to his friends, no
one can read Moore Life, and enter
tain a doubt. He required great deal
from them--not more, perhaps, than he,
from the abundance Of his life, freely
and fully gave, but more than they had 70
return. The ardor of his nature must
have been in a normal state Of disap-
pointment. He imagined higher quail
ties in them than they possessed, and
must very often have found his expeeta-
ton sadly baked by the dullness Of talk,
the perversity of taste, or the want of
enthusiasm which be encountered on a
better, or rather longer, ACQUAINTANCE.
But, Notwithstanding, have never yet
heard anybody complain that Byron had
once appeared to entertain a regard for
him and had afterward capriciously cast
him off. Years after they met Tor the
last time, Lady Byron went with Mrs
Jameson TO see Therwalden's statue Of
her husband, Whieh was at Sir Richard
studio. After looking at
it in silence for few moments, the tears
came into her eyes, and she said to her
comnanion "Tt Is very heaufifnl huf /
not so beautiful as my dear Byron"

The World tells this story: The marry

persons of fortune with the hope Of a
speedy dissolution By death OF the sacred
bond has grown too common to excite
any notice. But in this as in many
other forms of astuteness Chicago has
made extensions which deserve TO be
ranked as discoveries. A young lady, y

spectable family married on Tuesday,
in spite Of the circumstances of every
body except the bridegroom-wh seems
