fer old bachelors. From the appearance OF

kingdom wholly unknown to botanlsts. Her
green violets growing on red rose bushes may
be taken as a fair sample of her wonderful

of her landscapes painted On wood-box. The
box is worth s. in its present condition, and
a man ON Carson street offers to pay just as
much for it with the landscape on, as he is a
particular friend of the lady. There are at

Miss Muggins has succeeded in painting flow

readily sell for calico.
