The Chicago Ecening Journal says :
A great city is full Of painful incident.
Not only do wealth, fashion and refine
ment find here their most conspicuous
expression, but want and wretchedness
stalk abroad in miserable guise, shock
ing the sensibilitics OF tho humane, or
hide away in cellars or garrets, where
cold and starvation do their fearful work
upon t1eir victims. A touching case Of
maternal wretchedness and desperation
has been brought to our notice. A
Scandinavian woman whose husband is
lead, whose health and heart are broken,
ind who is without home or friends (as
sho states III n note pinned to the
blankct), laid her little baby-a bright,
blue.eyed, lovely boy Of four months
at the door OF one Of our elegant houses
on Wabash avenue short time since,
the note beseeching the Indy Of the
house, Of whom she had heard rs "a
kind hearted woman" not to send it to
the ioundling hospital, but II she could
not keep it herself to secure for it n
home with some other kind hearted per-
som. The Indy is herself large hearted
enough to adopt tie little one, but her
own health iorbids the assumption Of
the responsibility. She has kept it
until now, hoping to find some one to
adopt it, being anxious, il possible, to
comply with the mothers wish.

Wait.

Wait, husband, before you wonder
audibIy why your wife don't get along
with tho household affairs "as your
mother did," She is doing her best, and
no woman can endure TINT best to be
slighted. Remember the long, weary
nights she sat up with the little babe
that died; remember the love and care
she bestowed upon You when you had
that long spell OF sickness. Doyou think
she is made Of cast front Wmt-wait
in silence and forbearance, and the light
will come back to her eyes.--.the old
light for the old days.
Wait, wife, before you speak reproach'
fully to your husband when he comes
home late, weary and tout Of sorts. "
He worked hard for you all day, per
haps, far into the night; he has wrestled,
hand in hand, with care and selllshness
and greed, and all the demons that fol.
low in the train OF money making. Let
home be another atmosphere entirely.
Let him feel that there il one place IN
tho world whero he can find peace and
quiet, and perfect love.

Company Manners.

You have perhaps seen n sld-faced
wife remain silent while those around
her laughed at her husbands jokes, and
we're inclined to vote her ill-tempered
and sulky. How eoulll You know that

iovial, is ut home most mOrose and bit

wife knows the artificial composition OF
which his amiability is made, but the
stranger thinks ii pure, and sings his
praises ~ man more eStimable by far
than his nCighbors. Let lis not throw
on him, however, an undue share Of that
hypocrisy which We all practice "before
folk" Before folk the poor will pre-
tend to bc rich, and the man who half
starves his family when the house door
is locked, will make display whcreto
hn invites his friends, which even one
wealthy and Of high degree would
scarcely copy. Before folk opinions are
modified. dislikes concealed, principles
abandoned. Before folk everything
which is harsh in our nature is buried
out of sight. Tint which comes to the
surface is mild, genial, amiable, toler.
ant while that which oozes out in OBJ
scurity is too often rough, harsh, unami.

The Pope and the Centennial.

Archbishop Wood, OF Philadelphia,
Inns received from Cardinal Antonelli
two letters in response to Mi application
to the Pope that he allow the display at
the American Centennial exhibition of
works of art in the galleries ut Rome.
In tho course Of his second letter Car
dinal Antonelli says: The weighty' aud
manifold cares involved in the govern
ment OF tho church throughout the
world, and his untiring solicitude for
spiritual interests, have not hindered the
holy father from devoting himself 10 the
encouragement OF the fine arts. Hence
he would have cheerfully taken part in
the international exposition to be held
in Philadelphia, under the auspices OF
the United States government, in order
to celebrate the centennial anniversary
OF American independence, and, ut the
same time, to encourage competition IN
tho imitation Of whatever is beautiful in
art and in perfecting whatever is suscep-
tible OF Improvement.
But, unfortunately, despoiled OF his
states by the political vicissitudes OF
which he has been the victim, he is una
BILE, rs he has done before on similar oc-
casious. to send many articles to enrich
the Philadelphia exhibition. He must,
therefore, limit himself to the sending
of few works from the only establish
ment that yet remains under his sover-
eign authority and protection, and which
is fostered by his munifcencc, notwith-
standing his financial straits. Conse.
quently he sends few specimens OF
mosaic work from the famous Vatican
workshop. To these will be added a
piece of tapestry lately finished by order
and at the expense Of his holiness:
thrust that this token of the Pope's
regard, esteem, and good will to the
United States Of America, will draw yet
closer the bonds OF agreement happily
existing between the holy see and the
American people, and will testify the
affection which he. the common iather,
bears to NIL the nations Of the earth.

The American Flag.

The flag unfurlcL at Cambridge, Mass,
on January l, 1776, by the commander
in.chief Of the colonial army, was not
spangled with stars. It consisted OF
thirteen alternate red and white stripes.
with tho British emblems Of the crosses
Of st. George OF England and st. An
drew OF Scotland emblazoned on the blue
canton in place Of the stars, which now
shine with so much luster, That flag
was first thrown to the breeze on the
second day of January, 1776, one hun
lrcd years ago. The first legislation by
Congress in relation to'a flag for the
United States was on Jnne IA, TIT, and
an official declaration that it should con-
sist Of thirteen alternate red and white
stripes, and thirteen stars on white
and blue field-the union representing
tho thirteen late colonies. This fag is
said to have been first hoisted by the
erratic and gallant John Paul Jones, on
his ship the Ranger. Captain Samuel
O. Reed, OF our infant navy, first recon.
mended to Congress the adoption OF our
present flag January 2, 1917, which was
finally acted upon by Congress, April
4, isis. The designer fixed the num-
Der Of stripes ut thirteen, and the
arrangement OF the stars into one large
star, a new star to be added on the
fourth of July succeeding the admission
OF State into the Union. Congress
formally adopted Reeds suggestion, but
left the stellar arrangement out OF the
resolution. However, tho stars and
stripes were hoisted by the President on
the thirteenth Of April. 1878, on the
capitol. Without any legal authority
known, the stars in the union OF the
flags used by tho War department are
arranged in one large star, while on
naval flags they arc set in parallel lines.
II is to be regretted that so little is
known OF tho history Of tho banner now
used, or rather that so much OF its origin
is involved in obscurity.

are found in those pretty aagons on their
dressing tables. The chief places OF
their growth are tho south Of France and
Piedmont, namely: Montpelier, Grasse,
Nimmes, Cannes and Nice these two
last, especially, are the paradise OF vio-
lets, and furnish n yearly product Of
about 1900 pounds Of violet blossoms.
Nice furnishes q harvest Of 100000
pounds OF orange blossoms yielding
about two pounds Of Neroli oil. At
Cannes the acacia thrives well, and pro-
duces yearly about 5000 pounds Of
acacia blossoms. Ono great perfumery
distillery at Cannes uses yearly 10000
pounds OF rose leaves, 80, 900 pounds Of
jasmine blossoms, 10000 pounds Of vio-
let's and 5000 pounds OF tuberoSes, to-
gether with great many other sweet
herbs. The extraction Of tho ethereal
oils, the small quantities Of which are
mixed in the flowers with such large
quantities Of which are mixed in the
flowers with such large quantities Of
other vegetable juices that it requires
about six hundred pounds Of rose leaves
to win one ounce OF otto Of roses, de.

French, favored by their climate, are
the most active, although the most care
iul, preparers Of perfumes half Of the
world is furnished by this branch ol
their industry.

How a stage Coach was Robbed.

The Marysville (Cal.) appeal says :
The San Juan and NIarysville stage, on
its way for this city, was stopped about
four miles from Smartsviue, and on the
road between Finney's Hill and At
woods new house, and robbed OF Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s express box, which is
supposed to have contained but small
amount of treasure. Hogan, the driver,
informs us that ho was half an hour
ahead OF time, and his team had Just
got into walk from slow trot when q
masked man jumped up from behind n
bush on tho lower side Of the road, and,
presenting rifle OF his head, said :
"Stop and hold up your hands. "
Robert Winans, who occupied q seat on
the box, obsyed the summons, and the
robber repeated his command with more
emphasis "Hold up your hands or I'll
blow your brains out" Hogan then
threw down his reins and whip and held
up his hands. The robber then said :
"Hand ont that box, and be quick
about it." Hogan was some time in
getting the box out, rs there wos n
valise IN the way, when tho robbcr said :
"Hurry up" Hogan then threw ont
the box, and asked: "Shall I drive ONT"
"Yes," replied the robber. Hogan
sold the robber spoke in tremulous
voice, and gave orders with some space
OF timc intervening, rs if little lacking
iu courage. As he drove on he kept his
eyes on the robbor, with view Of
recognition. This the robber did not
like, and he said "Drive on, or I'll
blow your brains ont, keeping his rife
lcyeled upon him. After proceeding
some distance and being out Of sight Of
tho robber, Winars, who was armed
with revolver, took route across lots
to the scene Of the robbery to watch
operations. He reports he was observed
and told to stop. At this time there
were two robbers in possession OF the
treasure box. The robbers broke open
the box with m ax, and soon left with
all the contents but one paper. The
box was soon after picked up and taken
to Timbuctoo. Five passengers were on
board the stage at the time Of tho rob-
berry. ..... I'D.
