The Brunswick Legacy.

BY advices from Geneva, the London
Globe learns that the validity of the
late Duke Charles bequest 10 that city
has been settled in its favor after sever
al months Of negotiation between the
commissioners deputed ON behalf of
the municipality and the official repre-
sentativcs of the reigning Duke, the
heir-at.law Of the deceased. The city,
having obtained by firm resistance to
oil threats of legal action final nc
acknowledgements in writing Of the good
ness Of it's general claims tothe proper
ty, has agreed 10 surrender, az heirlooms
Of the House of Brunswick, the famous
onyx Mantua vase and the Mary Stuart

the flavor of high-class teas, from which
they are named.
They are easily distinguished bv
their large, thick petals, their elegance
of form, and also the delicate tints of
their flowers. Nothing can surpass in
fragrance and beauty the alfexpanded
buds of the creamy Devoniensis, or the
apricot-colored blossoms of Safrano.
the combined colors of the new Ma
Capucine, lie NdRkiR, and many
others.
But, beautiful as these roses some
times are in favorable locations out of
doors, they are not to be compared TO
those grown under glass. There they
are to be seen in perfection and amply
repay the cultivatorforthee extra trouble
bestowed on them.
The Tea Rose was first introduced
from China, about the year 1910 and
the old Double Yellow Tea from the
same country, in 1926. From these
large number of excellent varieties have
been raised. 1t was once thought that
the Tea Rose would not produce varie-
ties of any merit but some years ago,
when the writer of this paper was
boy, in Mr.. Pince's nursery in Devon
shire, England, the unexcelled variety
Devoniensis was raised in that neigh
borhood from the old Blush and Yellow
Tea, and fist sent out by Mr.. Pince
] well remember the circumstance and
the sensation it created at that time /;
and not long after had the satisfac-
ton of seeing field of six acres of this
beautiful rose in bloom, a sight not
soon forgotten. Since then great
many varieties have been introduced by
the French and English cultivators,
and their multiplication and improve
ment are still in progress. The last
few years have been prolific beyond all
precedent in new roses. SO numerous
are the varieties of this class that in
our catalogue will be found nearly one
hundred varieties and so beautiful
and various are the merits of each one,
that if it was our wish to discard or
curtail the number, we would scarcely
know which to select for that purpose.
With all due regard for the good old
favorites, it can not be denied that,
while few still hold their ground, the
major part are entirely eclipsed by the
brilliant productions of the present day.
The Tea Rose can also be grown to
advantage in pots, and in this state can
be more easily taken care of They
should be plunged in the open ground
during the summer months and removed
to a cold frame or greenhouse during
the winter
To grow Tea Roses is indeed an OBJ
iect worth the ambition of all the lovers
of horticulture and they furnish the
highest test of their skill. In the open
air this class requires more care and at
tention than the more hardy kinds
somewhat lighter soil, and protected
location, such as the south side of
wall, fence, or hedge; and protection
in winter, by placing dry leaves or ma
nure around each plant, with a cover
ing of rough boards, i'll the form of .
shed and open to the south. With
this precaution, the cultivator will have
little difficulty in growing them sue
cessfully.

IL is related that two girls in the
Royal tobacco factory, ut Madrid, re-
Gently killed each other IN a hand to

the combatants was as romantic as il
was barbarous. The antagonists, who
were both about twenty years old, and
remarkably handsome, repaired, one
Sunday morning, accompanied by GER

four or five miles distant, where they
breakfasted sumptuously ut different
tables. The repast ended, they closed
the window curtains, stripped them
selves to the waist, and requested their
friends TO leave the room, then at a
given signal, they attacked each other
with their navajas, and slashed and

had elapsed, their friends rccntcred the

Hardening ON Shares.

A good story, and all the better in
being true, is told of one of our citi-
zenB who let piece of ground 10 n
man on shares. The man would hire
the lot, but the owner, doubtful Of get
ting any money of the tenant, proposed
TO let il upon the promise Of receiving
half the products. Occasionally dur
ing the summer he passed the spot and
WAS pleased with the cultivation il was
receiving, aud with its goodly show Of
vegetables. Harvest time came--and
passed, and he heard nothing from his
tenant, till, in response 10 hint, the
latter sent 10 him a watermelon and
three shriyelod cucumbers. Indignant
at this shabby treatment, he called
upon the man and asked him what he
meant. "Why. YOU see, squire" re-
piled the tenant, "the pesky boys stole
all OF your half but the melon and the
cucumbers. NcW BcdtOrd MCrcuTy.

The Art Of Dinner Giving.

a dinner party" says a writer, lis
a crucial test of ones breeding and
sdUiOr .taire. Persons may conduct
themselves with self-possession and
ease upon every other occasion, and
mortify themselves 10y the commission
of gdUchcrics at the dinner table; and
it is place where any solecism in ETH
quette is very conspicuously noticed.
The position of hostess is particularly
trying to a novice, as the enjoyment of
her guests is dependent almost entirely
upon her foresight and tact, and these
qualities are called into requisition from
the very moment she decides upon Civ
ing a dinner party Great discretion
and care should be exercised in the Sc
lection of her guests, in order that
those who are brought together may be,
as much as possible, eff congenial minds.
The meRu of her dinner may include
the most expensive dishes, and these
may be served in an exquisitely fault
less manner but If the conversation
should prove spiritless and dull and
her guests should not appear at theiI
ease, the hostess cannot flatter herself
that her entertainment is a success.

4 FEW WORDS ABOUT NEW YORK
HOTELS.

Fhe profuse luxury Of hotel Life At the
leading hotels on Broadway, New York, is
well-known, especially to our merchants
and travellers, whom occasion tften calls to
visit our "Modern Gotham" But it often
puzzles ene's inclination which, among the
several besl-kept and famously. known bo
lels, 10 choose. The choice seems not to
be, particularly, in the table, the variety
OF food, or any thing Of that sort. They
are in this, as in the number Of meals,
about equal-and six luxurious meals
every day, as are given at the Grand Cen
trai, should afford the amplest opportunity
for the most confirmed gourmet. At the
best, the choice aae1as then to be q mere
rancy' or probably curiosity, to see and
enjoy the latest and arandest effort of the
ambitious and opulent proprietors of these
splendid palaces. And, Ap,opo. of this,
many fresh decorations have just been
added to the interior Of the Grand Central
Hotel. The beautiful ,fresco.vork, espee-
tally, that adorns the principal halls, the
richly furnished parlors, the grand dining
room, etc., under the hand of skilled
artists, has been rendered more beautiful
than ever. Other designs have also been
carried,out, until it would seem that the
most refined and liberal taste could hardly
ma room to suggest . fresh improvement.
After al, however, it may be the PRICE
an Important item in these panicy times
which finally decides the matter Of selec-
tion.' And on this point We must admit
that, among the Broadway hotels, the
Grand Central, being the largest, and the
most la.ishly furnished, is the NEST mod
