Something About The Golden Rose.
Baltimore Sun Paris Letter,

NiklhOl III 4 QAiS VtlNI
This renowned religious emblem, pos
sessed by but one American lady-the wife
Of General Sherm ANVIL this year be pre-
sented by the Pope to the Princess Steph-
anie, wife of the Archduke Rudolph of
Austria. Last year the Golden Rose was
also given to q young bride and an Austrian
Princess. I mean the Queen Christiana, Of
Spain, whose marriage | witnessed, and also
described in the San. OF this Golden Rose
it may be permitted me to remind my read
ers that it was instituted rather more than
five centuries ago-in 1366-and since that
time it has been regularly sent every Easter
tide to some Catholic lady who has proved
herself a Soldier of the Cross, and in the
ranks thus decorated / could name Queens,
Prineesses. and but one simple American
lady. We stop in silent admiration at the
decorations born of blood and war. and we
glorify the medals Of Mars, but what excels
the Golden Rose?

The Girl of the Period.

A woman writing to the Philadelphia
Times expresses the following opinion:
Looking back twenty-five years through life
spent In various cities and places in this and
other countries, | can say with an American
Woman's pride, that in no other land can
you find more good girls-self- reliant, we'll
educated and accomplished, excellent house
keepers, exceptionally dainty in person and
house appointments, and In no home, how
ever humble, but you will find evidences OF
refined taste and skill than in our own fair
land. If our girls can Claw the piano and
will paint plaques, they can cook the beef
steak also; when q young man drops in and
finds her as pretty as q pink after emerging,
Cinderella like, from her multitudinous
duties about the house, he, no doubt, thinks
she has occupied the easy chair all day.
There's more truth than poetry in the count
er-charge of our girls that a model young
lady, proficient in all the model accomplish
ments, is on the average sighted and left be-
hind for the giddy butterfly girl, who is all
tinsel, show. and an adept in the art of fas-
cination. Girls that are perfectly helpless
seem to have more charms for the generality
of men than a woman nobly plan'd,' for it
seems they hate to even think Of a wife hav-
ing any claim to superiority.
Our girls are all right; our boys are not.
Too many dare not have their lives investi-
gated, and I have seen with shame that our
best educated young men frequent places
they should blush to know, and they are blat-
ant en- the subject of the deficiencies of girls
whose hands they are unworthy to touch.

!" LIFE HATH IT'S BARREN YEARS"
Life hath it's barren years

Life hath its barren years
When blossoms fall untimely down,
When ripened fruitage fails to crown
The summers toll, when natures froWn
Looks only on our tears.
Life hath its faithless days,
The golden promise OF the morn,
That seemed for light and gladness born.
Meant only noontide wreck aud scorn,
flushed harp instead of praise.
Life hath its valleys, too,
Where we must walk with vain regret,
With mourning clothed, with wild rain wet,
Toward sunlight hopes that soon must set,
All quenched in plying dew.
Life hath its harvest moons.
It's tasseled corn and p~urple-Weighted vine;
Its gathered sheaves of grain, the blessed sign
Of plenteous ripening bread and pure rich wine,
Full hearts of harvest tunes.
Life hath its hopes fulfilled:
It's glad f%ruitions, its blest answered prayer.
Sweeter for waiting long, whose only air,
1ndrawn to silent souls, breathes forth its rare,
Grand speech of JOY distilled.

The GoOd Of Contrasts.

dear" said her intimate, as she called for
her to take a morning walk. you'll wear
your new spring suit to-day, of course
mo, indeed"
tBut I've got on mine"
That's just the reason. Don't you sup
pose / know the power Of contrast. / shall
wear my new suit along side of a rusty win
ter suit when I do wear it.
Then I shall have the advantage this
time, was the reply. Somehow it never
had seemed in that light to Clcely before, and
rather than give her friend such anobnoxious
opportunity, she donned the new suit and
the two sailed up the street like Greek god
desses modified by modern fashion.

On certainly replied the editor. They

on them. Some have six~teeI-button bout

day who had a pannier that came close up
to her neck. I should have it pretty bout

would you box plat the skirt or shirr il?
sShirr it, by all means!' exclaimed the ed
itor. 'Shirr it straight up and down, and
fasten it with those loops Of black tape
You mean frogs?' asked the beauty.
No, no. Those big loops that slip over
two buttons. That sets off the sbirrs, and
gives a sort Of tout to the ensemble and the
editor leaned back and smiled superior.
Don't you think revers Of a lighter shade
would look pretty?' she inquired.
They will do to fix up the back, but
wouldn't put them on the front, answered the
editor sagely. 'Revs1s are very well to trim 9
hat with, but they don't set off a dress front.
How would you have the corsage?'
4 wouldn't have any at all. You would
look much better without one
Sir she exclaimed, rising.
ooh, if you insist you might have a small
one, certainly not over three inches long, for
short dresses are the style now.

sOh, / don't, be retorted. That's what |
am here for. I think there is nothing so
lamentable as to see a lady dragging her cor
sage through the mud and dust. Still, if you

take it off when you go on the street and
| only wear it at home. They are hard to
handle, and not one woman in a hundred can
kick her corsage gracefully
II am very much obliged to you, she
murmured. You are very good, I'm sure
Don't mention it, replied the editor po-
litely, I think when you get it shirred and
revered, and polonaised, and Princessed,
you'll like it very much. You might get a
sash and some big buttons to put on behind,
Or if you'd like another style better, you
! might trim the whole with bouffants and
wear the pannier for a hat

Gently published very severe criticism
of Oscar Wilde, in the Alliance. There
upon Wilde sent for a representative oi
the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and had talk
with him in regard to the article. He
said:

Hant enemy. There is nothing so de-
pressing as to be attacked by fool, for

A Thrilling sEncident Recalled.

{ftCHTtcfsh- r.. Otdte.
Mrs. J. NJ. McTeer, who died at her
home in Wytheville, on Monday of last
week, was the last relic of Col. Piper
who gained a national fame through his
perilous feat of climbing the Natural
Bridge, in Rockbridge county, while a
student at Washington college now
Washington and Lee University.) Dur
ing the summer of 1878 he and three
other students obtained a permis,
sion of the president to spend a
day from the college, and they went
about twelve miles to the bridge. As
soon as they arrived, III youthful glee
they commenced the ascent of the pre-
cipitous sides of the bridge, and cut fig
ures and names upon the st ne. Young
Piper spied the name of Washington
standing above the thousands of others,
and started upward TO write his name
above that Of the first president. He
made laborious ascent, and inscribed
his name fifty feet above that of WASH
ingtOn, and continued upward, cutting
his footholds with his knife, until he
stood one hundred and seventy feet
above his horr fed companions. whose
entreaties for his return had be-
COLHe more anu more Glitlcuit to
hear. From this point he turned
for the first time and looked down
ward, to see that return was impossible,
aud to advance was almost impossible
since the knife that had carried him SO
far was worn nearly 10 the handle.
Each moment was one of intense sus

ton at any time. Painfully he worked
a few feet higher, until the knife was
useless, and he hung seemingly upon
the face of the precipice. In that posi-
ton, between hope and fear, he lived
what seemed years, until rescue came
from above, in the shape of lasso, and
he was drawn up to the top of the
bridge, where he tainted from exhaus-

KAISER WILLIAMS BIRTHDAY.

The cablegrams this morning tell of
great public rejoicings that prevailed at
Berlin yesterday, as well as in other
parts of the German empire. The oc-
casion was the eighty-ffth birthday Of
the reigning Emperor, the illustrious
Kaiser Wilhelm. Few monarchs have
reached such venerable age, although
quite number have ruled longer than
this ons who came to the throne as late
AS 1861, being then nearly sixty-tour
years of age. In connection with this
anniversary celebration it may be stated
that for months past diplomatic circles
in Europe have discussed the proba-
bllIty of the aged Kaisers retirement
from the cares of state at an
/ early day. His son, the Crown Prince
/ the "Unser Fritz of the Franco-Prus-
! sian warts said to have been consulted
aud expressed his Willingness to assume
the duties of Regent. 1t is significant,
too, that German papers OF late are
, dwelling on the political views of the
Crown Prince, his sympathy with Prince
Bismarck and his plans of industrial re-
form. 1t would be strange if the events
of 1857 were to he enacted over again,
and If the Crown Prince were to sue
ceed his father as the latter succeeded
Frederick William ". He would come
to the throne under very different cir
cumstances. In those days the present
Emperor was the most unpopular man
in Prussia. lie had fed into exile before
the wrath OF his countrymen;
he had been charged with
firing OF them in the streets
OF Berlin; he was believed TO have
thwarted every liberal impulse of his
brother He held the regency for fully
two years before the people appreciated
his patriotic qualities. His son, on the
other hand, has the good will of united
Germany; he has promised so few re-
forms that the liberals expect nothing.
Beginning more prOsreTOusly than his
father he may NEE. perils that his father
averted. He Will have to Withstand the !
rising democratic spirit that is asserting |
itself IN the Germany of to-day. Mean !
while the Old Kaiser, his race nearly run, |
has fast hold on the love and esteem of |
his people. If troubles there are for |
Germany they will come after his day.

ADULTERATION OF COTTON.

Farmers throughout the cotton states
should realize the fact that American
cotton, especially the lower grades. is
held IN rather poor opinion Just now by
English spinners. This is due solely to
the adulterauon that has been practiced
during the past year, more particularly
in the way of sanding and packing rocks
IN bales. In many instances spinners
have refused to take cotton unless guar
anteed against this evil Aside from
the loss of weight, there is the danger
to delicate and costly machinery, which
/ deters the spinner from making use of
lot of cotton unless he is well assured it
Is not 'sanded" or packed with rocks aud
gravel. The complaints are so general
that the Liverpool Cotton Brokers Asso-
citation has felt compelled to call the
attention of the National Cotton Ex-
change of America TO the grievance
This body, III turn, has communicated
with local exchanges throughout the
south, and rigid Investigations will be
instituted III every section Of the cotton
growing district Producers are warned
that honest, clean packing is the only
safe course. Continued Developments,
such as have recently been made
in English mills, viii surely result in
making many grades OF American
cotton drug in the market. Spinners
will refuse il, in self-defepse, and
as an inevitable result spinners'
agents and buyers generally will
decline to purchase it at any
thing ike a fair price. Produ-
GERS and consumers alike are interested |
in the prompt and thorough abolition of
the practice. 1t is altogether probable
that as a measure of protection, a sys.
tenn will be adopted this year by buyers
frauds, when perpetrated, can
be traced to the perpetrator. In such
cases punishment will be condign and
sure. The EXAMINER is glad to learn
that very few of these complaints are
made against Texas cotton. 1t is to be
hoped that producers here will not
only maintain their reputation, but i'm
prove it. The producer is as much in
terested III square transactions as the
buyer. Let Texas farmers bear this in
mind.

French and American Le2is.

The French legislator is modest in
his demands upon the bloated monopo.
lies of the republic. In every Ameri.
can state the railroads are expected
to furnish annual passes to assembly
men, and as many trip passes as they
may be pleased to demand. In France
after much hesitancy and by a close
vote, the senate has adopted a res
luton favoring the granting of rail
way tickets to members of the legis-
lature at nominal rates. A little inter
course with Americans would show
these timid Frenchman the way to do
things.
