The Gardens of Morocco,

The groves of rose trees and the flow
er farms of Morocco are said by a recent
traveller to exceed in extent and value
those of Damascus, and even those of
the Valley of Mexico. The general eli
matte of the country is very favorable to
this kind of culture. Swept alternately
by the breezes of the Atlantic and Med
iterranean. and tempered by the SHOWS
in the Atlas ranges, the degree OF heat
in Morocco is much lower than in
Algeria, while the soil is exceedingly
fertile. To the date, palm, orange,
and lemon trees the climate appears to
be especially suited, the dates Of Talifat
having been famous even from Roman
times. The orange plantations are of
great extent in various parts of the
country, while olives and almonds are
also staples exported in large quanti-
ties. Seeing that this fertile land, with
LII five days steam of London, produces
SO much vegetable wealth under the
most barbareus cultivation, it appears
very strange that commercial enterprise
does not, in such climate, seek the
profitable employment for its ever
abundant capital in it's application to
develop such vast resources.

MacauIaY at Rome.

Lord Macaulay when young man
was visiting Rome, and one night went
to see the Coliseum by moonlight.
While alone under the dark arches,
where it was as dark as night, all of q
sudden man In a large cloak brushed
by him rather rudely, as Macaulav
thought, and passed into the darkness.
Macaulay's first impulse was to clasp
his hand to his watch pocket; and sure
enough he found that the watch was not
there. He looked after the man, who,
he doubted not, had stolen his watch as
he brushed past him, and peering into
the darkness, could just distinguish the
outlines of figure moving away. Mac
aulay rushed after him, and, Selling
him by the collar, demanded his watch.
Macaulay could speak very little italian,
and understood none when spoken, so
be was obliged to limit his attack on
the thief to violent shaking of him by
the collar, and an angry repetition of
the demand "Orologiol Orologio! ;"
Watch Watch y The man just at
tackled poured forth torrent of rapid
~ spoken words, of which Macaulay
understood not one syllable. But he
again administered severe shaking of
his captive, stamping his foot angrily,
on the ground and vociferating, ssOro-
logic Orologio !" Whereupon the
detected thief drew forth the watch and
handed it to the captor. Macaulay
satisfied with his prowess in having
thus recaptured his property, and not
caring for the trouble of pursuing the
matter any further, turned ON his heel
as he pocketed the watch. and saw
nothing more of the man. But when
he returned to his apartment at night
his landlady met her at the door, hold
ing out something in his hands, saying:
"Oh, Sir you left your watch on the
table, SO I thought it better to take care
of it. Here it ISL "Good gracious |!
VIVA is this, then? What is the mean
ing of III" stammered Macauiay,
drawing from his pocket the watch he
had SO CALAMITY recovered in the Coli
scum. It was watch he had never be-
fore seen; the truth was plain-he had
been the thief The poor man whom
he had so violently attacked and apos-
trophised in the darkness and solitude
of the Coliseum arches had been terri
fed into surrendering his own watch
to the ruffian who, he conceived, had
pursued his to rob him. The next
morning Macaulay, not little crest
fallen, FASTENED to the Office of the
questor with the watch, and told mis-
storJ. " All; I see, said the questor,
you had better leave the watch with
me. will make your excuses to the
owner of it: he has been here already

japanese Women.
From the San Francisco Call.


The Japanese women are usually
small and dumpy, but are often very
beautiful, with small hands and feet,
and are exceedingly neat in dress and
couture. Their hair is not as is gen.
orally supposed, true black, but is q
very dark brown; in some instances is O
pronounced red. Its blackness, and,
unfortunately, coarseness also, is pro-
noted by the custom of shaving the
heads Of children from their birth. It
is made to appear very black and
glossy by the use of unguents and ban
doline made from mucilagino plant
Like the other sex (and this custom
is universal among people of every
age in JAPAN, they battle daily in hot
water, public bath costing only half a
cent. Since 1868 the government has
prohibited Inc proruscuous bathing of
both sexes, formerly common. The
women above 20 years old, from time
immemorial, have blackened their
teeth with mixture of gals and pow
dered iron; but the Empress does not,
and many ladies are now abandoning
the fashion. the former custom of
married women shaving off their eye
brows is also falling into disuse. The
peculiar style Of couture at once dis
tinguishes a Japanese maiden, wife,
widow or prostitute. All women are
carefully educated in household duties;
but the lower classes acquire very little
book-learning, though nearly all women
can read and write. The young ladies
of the higher classes devote much time
to fancy work, their bright colored robes
being embroidered with gay silks and
gold. They are carefully taught from
various books devoted to the du-
ties of wife, mother and house. keeper.
The three principal duties as set forth
in large volume entitled, "Woman's
Great Study" are: First, obedience to
parents when child. Second, obedi-
ence to her husband when wife. Third,
obedience to her eldest son when q
widow. Half their education is in
books of etiquette. There is no dis
tinction made between poiteness and
morals. Lying, cheating, deceiving,
slandering and like vices are simply
''not polite" and SO are not permissi-
BILE. Girls thus scrupulously brought
up make the best of women and of
wives. The now constantly charging
intercourse between Japan and western
powers leads to the hope that some of
the refinements of Japanese civilization
will eventually reach other countries.

Death Of A. p. Hornick.-Whe,

Death Of A. p. HOrnick.-When
the feeble and lettering steps of the
aged in the walk of life lead sudden
ly to the grave, community feels
only the pangs of friendships sor-
SOW at the loss of friend and neigh
Dor. The fruit is ripe and ready for
the grim harvester, and as it is garn-
cred into Deaths, granary We look
upon it as treasure laid up in
heaven. 1t is the golden fruit OF a
birthright-the sere and yellow leaf
of the once tender bud. An ADVISE
Creator who has placed il on the
vine has gathered it again to the
vineyard from which it was trans
planted. When the little pratling
infant sickens and dies-when the
music OF its tiny footsteps are heard
no more in the household, and we
lay our brightest jewels upon the
sacrificial altar of Death, we part
with them in sorrows deepest grief;
yet we look upon the little one as an
opening flower that has blasted and
withered in the chilling, blighting
frost, and tenderly, sorrowfully
place it in the arms of Him in whose
image 1t came to us, and who
Graded in manger of straw in
Bethlehem, was like tbem-a child.
But when the unerring arm of the
Destroyer strikes down manhood in
its glory and prime, and suddenly
snatches the strong, good and brave
from our midst, a shadder of terror
and a cloud of gloomy regret en-
compasses the hearts OF those who
have known and loved the fallen.
1t IS accompanied by such feeling
as this that the community will
learn of the sudden death of Mr.. A.
p. Hornick, a respected and infu-
entail citizen, who died yesterday
morning from injuries received on
Thursday last by being thrown from
buggy. The deceased was Foreman
and part owner of the Fulton Foun-
dry, Oh The Divide, member in
good standing of the Masonic Fra
ternity, and a prominent business
man. He has lived in this part of
Nevada since the earliest days of its
history and has been fully identified
with its interests. A few days pre-
vious TO his death he was called to
the sad duty Of burying his infant
son, who died at Lake Tahoe, and
has all too suddenly been ca led
across the dark river ere the foot
steps of the little one had tracked its
sombre shore. A young wife and
little Ethel, a daughter OF two years
of age, are left to mourn the death
of kind husband and indulgent
father. May God comfort them with
His bountiful love in this their sore
distress No words of ours can dis
perse the gloom and sorrow of their
hearts, but as we go to-day to pay
the last sad tribute of man to his
friend, our heartfelt sympathy will
linger unbidden with those who
have been so terribly stricken.
There is universal feeling of regret
in this community caused by the
death of Mr.. Hornick, and it finds
words in many eulogies to the sterl-
ing worth and character of the de-
ceased by those who have known
him best. A good name is more
lasting than marble, and "Pete"
Hornick has left such a one behind
him as a forever monument to his
memory.
