A FAMOUS SOCIETY.
History Of the Roman Arcadia, of Which LIE,
XIII. is a Member.

Alll.s ~ u N4GuAOci.
The Pope, as it is well known has been
a member OF the Arcadia many years.
Arcadia is the celebrated literary Roman
society that was founded in this city at
the end Of the seventeeth century. Its
first meetings were held in the Palazzo
Riario, now Crosini Lunagara, inhabited
then by Christina, Of Sweden. That
Queen was its first patroness. The mem
bers Of the society originally were learned
men who formed the literary court that
assembled around that remarkable wo-
man. The first meeting was held on the
24th of January, 1856, over 900 years ago.
The celebrated jurisconsult, Gravina, was
one of the first officers Of Arcadia, and
drew its beautiful table Of laws. The
main end Of the society was the study Of
moral philosophy, and poetry was after
wards added. The first President was
the distinguished Crescembeni. He
wrote a history Of the society, as we'll as
many other literary works. When the
Queen of Sweden died, 1859, the academy
became an independent society. Its meet.
ings were sometimes held in the Farnese
gardens on the Palatine, then in the Giar-
dine Gucnasio, on the lonely and beauti
full Aventine; it was at that time the
places of meeting took the names of Bo.
sen Parrasio and Arcadia, and the society
continued the custom, still adhered to-
Of imposing Greek poetical names on its
members in conformity to the first pastor
al idea.
The first meeting of Arcadia as an in.
dependent society was on the 5th q
October, 1859, on Moifte Janiculum, in
the classic garden of the Convent of st
Pidto, in Montorio, under the shadows O
Tasso's oak, beautiful locality. The
new constitution of the society was re
publican, and its chief officer, Cresimbeni
was no longer called President, bu'
Custode Generate, and his name in Area
| DIV was Alfsibeo Ciaro. The Office O
Custodc is still llre-elected or a new ont
chosen. The first Custode, Cresimben
or Alfesibeo, became celebrated in tn.
literary circles of the eighteenth century
all over Europe.
| In 1926 Arcadia left its beautiful
grounds of Tasso and went to its presen
locality, on the Janiculum, the fine gar
dens and palatial buildings which wer'
given to the society by the King of Portu
gal, John v. The beautiful gateway o
the Bosco Parraslo, on the Janiculum
and the handsome building now used b,
Arcadia were designed in 1885 by tn
distinguished architect, Azzurri, Profes
sor of St. Luke, and one Of the leading
Roman architects Of our day. The Bose
Parrasio is used only for spring, summe
and autumn meetings; the winter cit

Daughter and Wife.

A bad daughter seldom makes a good
wife. If a girl is lll-tempered at home,
snarls at her parents, snaps at brothers
and sisters, and s'shirks" her ordinary
duties, the chances are ten to one that
when she gets home Of her own, she
will make it wretched. There are girls
who fancy themselves so far superior to
their parents that the mere privilege of
enjoying their society in the house ought
be all the old people should have the as
surance to ask. While their mothers are
busy with domestic duties, they sit in the
easiest chairs, or lie on the softest sofas,
feeding on cheap and trashy novels, and
cherish the notion that they are very lit
erary individuals. The household drudg-
cry is to coarse for such fine young ladies
as they. The business of their parents is
to provide them with nice clothes, and to
be content with admiring their handsome
appearance in the Intervals Of labor.
Girls of this sort are very anxious to be
married, that they may escape the disa-
greeableness of home where they are
held, more or less, under subjection
/ therefore, they are smiling enough tc
eligible bachelors, quickly smoothing
down the frowns which alone they give
to the members of their own families
| A caller who doesn't have chance o
seeing how they behave as daughters
may be excused for fancying them loving
and lovable beings; but one who does SCI
it, is foolish if he commits himself by of
fering marriage to a girl of this sort
She is not fit to be the wife of worth,
man. If she will not assist her mothe
in domestic labors, and badgers the ser
wants, is she not likely to be even slothfu
and ill-tempered when she marries?
she now thinks herself too fine to work
is it safe to expect that her views as t,
that matter will radically change if sh,

The Singing Tree.

Though the tropical shrubs Of Queens
land are very luxuriant and beautiful,
they are not without their dangerous
drawbacks, for there is one plant grow
ing in them that is really deadly in its
efects-that is to say deadly in the same
way that one would. apply the term Of
fire; as, if a certain proportion of ones
body is burned by the stinging tree,
death will be the result. It would be as
safe to pass through fire as to fail into
one Of these trees. They are found grow
ing from two to three inches high to ten
and fifteen feet; in the old ones the stem
is whitish, and red berries usually grow
on the top. It emits peculiar and dis
agreeable smell, but is best known by its
leaf, which is nearly round, having a
point on the top, and is jagged all around
the edge, like the nettle. All the leaves
are large some larger than a saucer.
"Sometimes,' says the traveller, 'whilc
shooting turks in the scrubs, have en-
tirely forgotten the stinging tree, till
warned Of proximity by its smell, and,
have then found myself in little forest
of them. I was only once stung, and
that very lightly. Its effects are curious
it leaves no mark, but the pain is MAIDEN

when touched, is tender,in rainy weather,
or when it gets wet in washing, etc. !

pain lightly, roll on the ground in agony

We have repeatedly called on the subscri-
bers to Relief fund of the Bolivar NJ. E.
Church to pay their subscriptions, but they,
with few exceptions, have not responded.
We agreed not to call on any of the supscri-
bers until the whole amount necessary to pay
the debt was subscribed. The SUBSCRIPTION
list was completed at last Conference and
we proceeded to collect but have only re-
ceived a small part of that promised. We
would be glad to know from each one
whether he will or will not pay his sub
scription. If the church be sold, the Trus-
tees in order to vindicate themselves, will
publish list of those subscribers who have
not paid and whose default will cause the
sale OF the property. TRUSTEES.

Who departed this life Oct 18th, 1879.
She had lived to that time of life when her
mind was as a book of recollections OF deeds
performed at The suggestion of a good heart.
She felt from the beginning of her illness
that she would never recover, and constant
ly kept her soul prepared for the summons
OF Its God. In her generous heart the young
always found a chord of sympathy which
restrained the difference of years and bound
them together as companions. Aunt Ressie
will be ienshrined in the hearts of all her
friends, .who deeply deplore their loss at her
death
The epidemic last year took her daught-
er-leaving six little orphans-but the love
she bore for her child-Phenix like, sprung
with new vigor and clasped these little or
phans to her bosom and gave them a home
where it was her constant study to the end
of her life to care for them as a mother
Her death-bed was surrounded by devoted
children and kind friends and the faithful
old family servants who had felt thousand
demonstrations of her unbounded kindness
and charity. The Christian religion has no
stronger proof of It's divine origin than the
scene which marked her last moments; the
willing resignation, the calm rest, and the
uareserved trust which she had long reposed
in the promise of our Saviour She had all
the rites of her religion-The Methodist
church services were performed by Rev. w.
A. Cook, Of LAGRANGE.
To her bereaved family, all sympathy is
given-they have lost one of the best of
mothers-"The dearest and the hottest thing
alive" They have
SHARED that calm, so still, 50 deep,
The voieeless thought which would not speak, not
weep"
Attended by large procession of friends,
she was laid to rest beside her husband in a
beautiful grove of oak near the residence.

FALL STOCK.

Comes to the front with a larger
and better stock and at lower prices
than it has ever been our pleasure to
offer to the people CT Hardeman and
adjoining country before. By the
Bolivar house being associated with
houses at jackson and Milan, the
squadron ofthree are able to sell over
100000 worth of goods per year,
which enables the house to buy all
Goods from Manufacturers in large
quantities, and get all discounts allow
ed the wholesaler, which amount TO
from 5 to 10 per cent; this enables
the house to sell Goods at retail as
low as the average Retailer can buy
them.
We are selling the lines of Goods
even lower than some wholesale houses
are selling the same Goods. THIS
PRICE LIST tells its own story, gives
prices, and values considered, will be
hard for any of my competitors to APP
prOach, and the prices given none of
them can, with safety, go below.
To the customers who have support
ed the house so literally in the past,
permit us in behalf of Mr.. Mayo to
return thanks, approaching as well
the patronage extended to
the house, promising you we
viii pursue the same course in
the future that we have in
the past, believing that it is best to
press sales at low prices and sell large
quantities of Goods, than hold them
for high prices and do nothing or even
worse fail in business.
