The forthcoming report of Mr. Mullett,
supervising architect of public buildings,
will contain no new recommendations re-
garding public buildings at Pittsburg, Chi
cago or St. Louis. Attention will be called
to the fact that legislation authorizing the
condemnation of and cession of site in
Cincinnati is necessary before any further
steps can be taken.

Desperate Lover.

New York, August 6.-Last night
Fred Titelzki shot Miss Mary Spooner,
at her residence SAG West Twenty-ninth
street, causing injuries which it is feared
will prove fatal. Titelzki has been pay
ing his addresses to Miss Spooner for
two years, being favorably received until
recently, when the lady, in obedience to
her parents, refused his visits, being
repeatedly rebuffed in his attempts to
obtain an interview. Last night he
called at Mr.. Spooner's residence and
saw the young lady in the garden before
the house. They walked to the summer
house and it is believed must have quar-
Relied for in a few moments two pistol
shots were heard. Miss Spooner's father
and a neighbor who was at hand rushed
to the spot, when Titelzki dashed past,
running toward the river, into which he
leaped, but was soon rescued by two
officers. Miss Spooner was found in the
summer-house shot in the left side, the
ball inclining downward to the hip and
inhicting an ugly wound. Her condition
to day is very critical, After shooting
hor Titelzki attempted to shoot himself,
but missed, and then fed. He is now in
Jail.

that there are twenty.four varieties Of
plants whose blossoms open success
lively at the different hours of the day
and night. Looking over his list, we
find the daily lily opens at five o'clock
o. m, and evening primrose at five pm.
Midnight belongs to the cactus grandi-
forous, or night-blooming cereus, whose
magnificent flower expands and diffuses
a subtle perfume soon after sunset, gra-
dually unfolds, and then closes before
dawn. when its strange mission is ended.
Tue African marigold opens at seven
o clock in the evening, and closes at
four if the weather be fair. If It does
not open, rain is certain the next day.
1t is said the flowers OF the water-lily
close and sink into the water precisely
at sunset, rise again to the surface and
expand with sunrise. Pliny describes
the lotus Of the Euphrates, which follows
the same order; and the reverence which
was paid by the Egyptians to the lotus
is supposed by some to be from his asso-
Citations with the sacred sun. Flowers
and fruit of the lotus are engraved on
Eastern tombs and monuments, and
adorn the heads of their sculptured del
ties. Besides the :" floral clock" there
is a floral calendar, in which each month
is marked by its own loyal flower.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.


New York, August CA special dis
patch from Raleigh to the Times claims
that the correct vote Of thirty-live coun-
ties give Caldwell majority of l4,62s,
and thirty seven counties give Merriman
majority of IL, 662-Caldwells ma
iority in seventy-two counties, 1866
The dispatch claims that there is no
doubt of Caldwell's election by 1000
majority. The Legislature is probably
Democratic--the Senate by about eight
and the House probably ten majority.
The Times believes the counties yet
to hear from cannot overcome the Re-
publican advantage already gained.
A Tribune special from Raleigh says
it must be admitted that the. result in
the State is now doubtful, with the
chances in favor of Merriman's election.
A majority of the counties yet to be
heard from arc western counties which
give small vote, and therefore but
small margin for loss. The very latest
telegram from Salisbury is to the effect
that the majority for the Administration

DIR aLoRIous FOURTH.

But few countries celebrate the ami
yersary of national indepen dence, prob.
ably because no cause ever existed for
so doing. No independeuce-herce no
anniversary. John Bull, through the
London Globe, says we are childish to
celebrate the Fourth of July. What
can such sentiment be expressed on
earth and the author of it remain out
side Of a dungeon or madhouse? The
Globe discourses learnedly upon the
barbarous state Of England during the
times Of the Roman conquest and the
Danish invasion. England does not now
celebrate the gallant defense Of these
shores by Caractacus, or the splendid tri-
umph Of the Barons who secured the great
charter of our liberties. Even King
Alfred is forgotten in the enjoyment Of
all the benefcent institutions Of which
be is the supposed founder. We have
outgrown such youthful iollies, and it .
quite time the Americans should follow
our example. All the world is now
ready to admit that the eagle is glori-
Gus bird, and the War Of Independence
highly creditable campaign. With
this admission the great American ma
ton should rest content. To assure
periodically Of their own
perfection and supremacy is not
the highest function Of a pow
erful and ambitions people There
is much yet remaining for them to do

FIRING THE NORTHERN HEART.

The effort made by the administration
to fire the Northern heart by purchasing
a few trunks full Of old Confederate
archives at cost of seventy-fve thou
sand dollars, has been unsuccessful. In
few days after the purchase we had the
alleged Jacob Thompson report on the
burning of Northern cities. The admin
istration papers have not as yet ceased
bowling over the report. The people
have become too cool for this nonsense
in 1872. The sober second thought has
succeeded the bitterness engendered by
the war. The Golden Age wants the
Northern heart fired, but in the follow
ing manner: "The thing which is wanted
to fire the Northern heart to-day, is the
thought of a redeemed, reconstructed
nation in which there is not slave, and
all classes, races, and religions are
equally respected and protected by the
common law. We want to fire the
Northern heart to new patriotism, jus
tice, and magnanimity, by thinking Of
the vastness and possibilities of the
republic, the privileges of citizenship,
and the duty of protecting the rights of
all men, and according the boons Of citi-
zenship and good will to all. We want
to fire the Northern heart with a new
spirit of freedom and fraternity, new
sense Of justice for all men, a new study
of national interests and responsibilities,
and new enthusiasm for humanity and
progress. And this is what we are try
ing to do"
