The Romans we're very fond Of roses.
Cleopatra received Anthony at one OF
her banquets in an apartment covered
with rose leaves 10 a considerable depth
and Anthony, whom dying, requested
roses 10 be strowed on hisgraye. Roman
generals who achieved remarkable vic
tories, had roses soulptured ON their
shields. ROsewater was the iavorlte
perfume OF the Roman ladies, and the
most luxurious used it even in their
baths. In the East, or, indeed, all over
the world, the rose has been n iayorite
with poets. The Turks believe that
roses sprang from the perspiration OF
Mnnomet; for which reason they never
tread on rose leaf, nor suffer one TO lie
on the ground they also sculpture the
rose on the tombs Of unmarried females.
The red aud white rose gave their name
10 the War Of the Roses between the
contending houses Of York and Lancas'
ter, in English history. The same uses
OF the rose have everywhere descended
10 our own times. The term sub rosa
under the rose) is universally proven
bal, and, IL is said, arose from one OF
the Popes having ordered consecrated
roses 70 be placed over the coniessionals
of Rome TO denote secrecy. Roses we're
first planted in England in 1922.

hcolIoped Hair.

Eli Perkins writes from Saratoga to
the Graphic:
The very last agony in Saratoga is
scolloped hair" All the swell
young ladies'"
"Now what is scolloped hair2" ]
asked young lady who had an attack
of it.
"Why, this is it; we don't puff OF
frizzle our hair any more in front, but
we stick it down in scollops over our
foreheads-six scollops on each side"
How do you mean stick it DOWN. -
"Why, the hair-dresser sticks it down
with gum arabic and ounce seed. Some
times he uses Transparent glycerine soap.
This is the best thing to use. The
fashion has started with furore just like
the Dolly Vardens, redingotes, and the
Grecian bend, and it is bound to co.
On looking around in the hop-room
tonight, found ten Of the most fashion
ably dressed women in Saratoga had
their hair scolloped bad. Every young
lady who affects the new grasshopper'
back bend had severe attack. The
scollops are about an inch apart-a sue
cession of cow-licks, one running into
the other.
The sticking-down process was EVIL
IDENTIFY stolen from the Modoc Indians
while the undulating, rolling hard line
on the forehead must have been taken
from some antique Pompeian vase.

In the northern part Of California, I'M
frequented by the ubiquitous tourist,
and as yet scarcely touched by the pen
OF the versatile Bohemian, lies region
which, in the grandeur and variety Of its
mountain scenery, is suggestive OF the
marvellous glacial districts OF the Alps.
Mont Blanc, the Jungirau and the Mat
terhorn were all unconsciously suggested
10 me as | caught view OF the rugged
snowy peaks Of Shasta, standing like a
sentinel at the gate of the rich Sacra-
mento valley. Differing radically from
the Yosemite in the character OF ITS
landscapes, it has everything TO gain and
little to lose by the comparison. Around
its base, magnifcently watered aud
wooded, lies one of the finest hunting
and pasture grounds Of the continent;
while rising up to hight OF l4,443
feet is one Of the most remark
able regions OF volcanic desolation now
ia existence. The brilliant hues of
the trees near the base made a sort of
wild mosaic of the forest before us, the
colors changing successfully to a somber
gray, dull earthly hue, and a heecy
white as the eye sought the top, atwhich
il seemed to me that should never grow
weary of gazing. But n nudge and n
word from the driver assured us that the
great numbering stage on which we were
seated was approaching Sissonl This
is station on the California and Oregon
stageroad, two hundred and fifty-hve
miles north Of Sacramento, seventy five
miles of which distance We had just
staged from Redding, on the California
and Orogo branch Of the Central Pacific
railway. 1t has an elevation OF 5000
feet above sea level, and is our point OF
departure for the mountain. Slsson pro-
yides horses, blankets, provisions, and a
guide-the last not the least essential,
for it is over eighteen miles to that Gov
eted summit, and half OF that must be
traversed on foot, along tortuous and
rugged paths. Many time before | was
done the ascent, | thought of Goethe s
words: flights charm us; the steps
that lead to them do not,
The ride towards the top of the noun
tain is very beautiful, especially in the
late evening of the year. The leaves OF

green, so remarkably earlier in the sum
mer, and it has been succeeded by a rich,
delicate orange, blended green and
yellow, or an apple-red. These exqui-
site hues, mingled with the heather
green of the pines, the bright-glazed
green of the cedar, and the green-tinted
white of the silver frs, give an attractive
variety and beautiful contrast of colors
rarely seen elsewhere. The aspen leaves,
especially tinted with golden and orange,
and sensitive to the slightest breath of
wind, seem like myriads of gaudy butter
flies huttering in the sunlight. The
limbs Of the aspen are smooth and glis-
tening, and of delicate grayish white,
beautifully complementing the dark
Illuminated bark OF the surrounding conf
erous giants-one suggesting feminine
beauty, grace and timidity; the other,
masculine strength, and the settled
harshness of feature which comes of ex-
posture to wind and weather. Thomas

A correspondent of the Waterbury
Conn. American, writing on board the
United States steamer Juniata, at st.
Johns, N. F., July 18th, says:
ION the Sd instant large iceberg be-
came stranded at the mouth Of the har-
Dor. and the captain wishing some OF
the officers to 90 out with him and see it,
/ gladly accepted the invitation, and as
soon as our party was made up, we
started out in the steam launch As we
approached the berg the air grew sensi-
bly, colder, and we found it necessary to
slip on our oVercoats. We ran alonside
of il and measured it with our eye, which
gave us IS feet high, 100 feet broad and
400 feet long, and as that portion below
the surface bears the proportion OF
seven to one we can calculate the depth
of thickness Of the berg 10 be go feet,
equal to IL 100000 cubic feet, or 2s6, 225
tons. The berg was melting so rapidly
that water was flowing from it in every
direction, preventing us from approach
ing very close 10 il, SO we decided TO 90
to a smaller one and cpt some ice for
our own consumption. We we're very
successful, as we we're brought on board
in the neighborhood OF half a ton.
About five minutes after leaving the
large berg we heard an explosion, and
looking around, saw that one end OF the
berg had burst of, and filled an area OF
ABOUT 300 feet in Length Of the width Of
the berg, so We escaped an Enpleasani
dampness just in time.

RIcKRTY HOUSES.

There are quite number OF houses
in Memphis that call for the inspection
of the official whose duty il is TO protest
against the unsubstanlialiiy and inse'
curity not only OF dwelling houses but
business houses. Hundreds OF irail
shells, shattered and shaken by age, can
be found. These are nothing but life
traps, aud yet they bring in large rev.
enue TO their owners. The Grand
Jury Of other cities present the
owners of such buildings, aud the
courts take action in the matter.
Cheap buildings ae often necessary
but il cheapness is to be obtained only
at the expense OF security, the cheap
system should be prohibited. II 49, OF
course, nearly impossible for one who is
not an expert to determine positively
from general examination that any
given row of buildings is insecure; but
it will be equally impossible to convince
an intelligent man that some Of these
edi6ces, which are built with thin party
walls through which one may poke fin
ger, are perfectly safe habitations for
human beings. A great many houses Of
such kind stand only because they are
in compact ron, as it is positively Ger
tain that if one Of them should be re
moved or destroyed by FIRE, the others
would be in imminent danger Of col
lansa

As an excursion party from Savannah,
on Thursday, was leaving the wharf for
Tybee island, young lady, Miss Bryan,
had the misfortune to step off the gang
plank. She could swim, and succeeded
in keeping on the surface till two men
present jumped in and assisted her in
reaching the side of the wharf. The
lady acted with remarkable GOODNESS,
and on reaching the shore did not ap-
pear to be the least alarmed. One
young man, anxious to do something ia
the way of assistance, jumped into the
water, and finding the young lady al
ready well taken care of, went in search
of her hat, which he succeeded in recoy-
ering.
