THE sUNFLOWER.

The following clever poem, dedicated To Oscar

a short time ago, this queen nOl0 OF flowers,
Was never allowed in bouquets nor bowers;

To beauties artistic it had no pretenses;
Twas a ''deruier resort" for flower indeed:
The florists all deemed it next door to a weed
And thOughtit too large, ''tOO utter" too loud.
And only would let it I'LL up in a crowd.

And always bloomed best-in the yards OF the

The rose and the lily would look down in pride
And blush or turn PATE as they kinship denied:
The ivy and woodbine, and even sweet briar.

While the daisy and violet, so modest and meek,
Turned up their sweet noses, but deigned not to

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
STYLES are revived.

Pompadour styles are revived.
Chaudron is the reddest and darkest shade
of copper color.
Silk pocket handkerchiefs are preferred to
linen for small boys use.
Almond-colored risites of camels hair are
worn on bright, sunny days.
The crab and the spider are favorite crea-
lures in millinery ornaments.
The single piece suit, with no belt or waist,
remains the favorite for little girls
Embroidered kid bodices, tabliers and
panels trim Paris cashmere dresses.
Lilacs, daffodils and bon silenc roses are
worn on the corsages of street suits.
Shoulder capes should be worn only by
slender, well-formed, and graceful women.
Some of the Eastern papers tell of a West
ern girl who went to funeral TO firt with
the mourners.
Plush and silk tops to gdats de SUe5e-
undressed kid gloves-are among Partisan
novelties.
Foxes of medium size are worn by con-
sentative, sensible women who will not be
conspicuous.
Efie Ellsler has ideslized the turn-up nose.
She is really "Hszel Kirke," and the nose

Queen Victoria's health does not give NJ.
Labouchere any anxiety. "Her majesty is
going abroad" he writes "merely for very
natural wish for a complete change OF scene,
and after two years of Windsor, Osborne and
Balmoral, desire for little variety is only
natural, especially as new faces are SO seldom
seen at court"
1t is said of the horse-ridiug empress of
Austria: "She does not paint; she does not
dive her beautiful hair, but she insists on
having her habits made so tight that her
imitators wonder how she can breathe at full
gallop. They cannot, and are obliged either
to moderate their pace or let out their cor
sets or habit-bodies."
A lady of rank, proudly conscious of her
dignity, one day descanting on the superb
ority of the nobility, remarked to a large
company of visitors that the three classes OF
the community-nobility gentry and COM
monalty might very well be composed to the
three materials, china, deli and crockery. A
few minutes elapsed, when one of the COM
pany expressed desire to see the lady's lit
tie girl, who was in the nursery. John, the
footman, was dispatched with orders to the
nursery-maid, to whom he called out from
the bottom of the stairs in an audible voice;
"Hollo, Crockery, bring little China"

HIS THIRD MAN.
JIni.EergusOn Shot and I'm siantIy Killed
by Bill Lloyd.

DYERsBuRG, TENN March Jim Biddle
Ferguson was shot and killed in this place
last night at s o'clock, by Bill Lloyd. An
old grudge existed between the two, and yes
terday Ferguson several times threatened
that he intended to kill Lloyd. He entered
Loyd's saloon at s o'clock, when the latter
discharged the contents of both barrels of
shotgun into Ferguson's body, causing in
slant death. This is the third M an Lloyd has
shot. Ferguson killed Conyers here several
years ago. Wink Fields, who was in the
saloon at the time, received shot in the
hand, and w. o. Taylor, who was passing in
front of the saloon, was shot in the leg.
Lloyd surrendered himself to the officers.

days before on reconnaissance, when the
prince was taken into actual personal danger,
Of the disaster that might befall him, but
warnings, We know, are against stupidity,
against fate. The prince was an expert horse
man. In vaulting upon FESTIVE horses and
performing difficult equestrian feats he had
few equals. At all times he preferred vault
ing on to his horse rather than using the stir
rup. On one occasion an officer riding by his
side was bucked of his horse, and the prince
imperial, without a moments hesitation,
jumped TO the ground and vsulted into the
vacant saddle almost as.soon as twas empty
Yet, with all this, p hen his life depended
upon it, the boy could not reach his saddle"
