FLOWER MISSION DAY.
It's Origin and Development.

Miss Jennie Cassaday, a young
lady of Louisville. KY, who has
been a confirmed invalid for twenty
years, and during all this time has
been confined to her bed by paraly-
sis of the lower limbs, conceived
and set in motion this beautiful
mission of flowers. Having been
herself the recipient of these
tenderest tokens of love at
the hands Of those who most
sympathized with her, she deter
mined that all persons confined in
the city, whether in hospital, jail or
prison should be alike remembered.
Having a little framelike table;
adjusted over her couch on which
she might rest her arms In writing
she began her work. Each bouquet
was to be accompanied by card
upon which she had printed some
comforting passage of scripture. She
then appointed a day to be called
Flower Mission Day to be observed
annually. On that day bouquet
of flowers with the accompanying
card was sent to every inmate of the
asylums, hospitals, jails and prisons
in Louisville. She making
the request that any person
who had been cheered or benefited
thereby would so express it by card /.
AS result out of 400 prisoners 800
responded. Thus encouraged by her
labor of love, she extended her
work into all the principal cities of
Kentucky. With such favor had
the plan been received that the
mayor Of Louisville has designated
tina 9th of June to be observed as
Flower mission Day, that being
Miss Cassadsy's birthday.
Furthermore, he recommends
that all business be suspended that
day in honor Of the Invalid heroine,
whilst the city authorities, as q
token of their appreciation of this
wonderful mission of love and LABOR
have connected her by telephone
with the opera, hospitals, jails and
prison, thereby giving their inmates
intercourse with their helpless bene.
factor.
But the plan is to reach its climax
through the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
By her request the Union takes UP
the work and makes it national, and
hereafter the 9th of June is to be
one Of eur red letter days.
On that day the unions through
out the States are requested to visit
all asyiums, hospitals, jails and
prisons, distributing flowers and
delicscies, if need, to each inmate,
irrespective Of age. color or sex,
whether confined by sickness, in
trinity or crime, that all may know
they are the subjects of ten
der solicitude OF these mis-.
sions of heavens own appointing.
We hope the Unions throughout
this beautiful Territory, where the
fora unrivaled carpet the very
earth beneath our feet, will not be
behind their sister States who are
not go highly favored, but will send
these emblems of love and purity,
fragrant with the perfume of the
skies, resplendent with the beauty
| of the Divine Artists touch, into
every hospital, Jail and prison
within their reach.

herself, and slept like top.
Jack Willard dropped into seat and
gently removed the child's head from
his shoulder, and held her carefully in
his arms. for he did not dare 10 risk the
chance of waking her by placing her in
the carriage.
Then he heard the front door open,
and the next minute Mrs. Linton en-
tered. A glance told all, and likewise
informed her that Bridget had not yet
returned.
''Oh, Mr.. Willard!' she exclaimed,
''what shame! and how sorry I am!
But what a sight you are!' And as she
took the sleeping baby and tenderly
placed it in the carriage, she was glad
of the excuse to turn away her laugh
ing face. But Jack Willard knew all
the time that she was laughing, and no
wonder. AS she had said, he was a
''sight." His delicate new gloves were
torn in q dozen places; his coat and
shirtbosom were deluged with milk and
smeared with bread AMI butter; his col
lar was limp, his crayat united, and
his hair was standing on end.
''Oh, NJ. Willard, Pm afraid you'll
never forgive met Indeed, l am so
sorry" she continued addressing Jack.
ooh, pray don't mention it. I've
had most interesting time.'' Gith a
dreary attempt at gaiety. "But you'll
excuse me if hurry away now. I feel
little disheveled, and must get home
and-ah-change my coat, you see."
And picking up his glossy hat he crush
ed it on his head, and fled.
In time Jack and Mrs. Linton met
again, but the gentleman's ardor had
cooled; and Mrs. Linton who had never
suspected his matrimonial intentions,
was not enlightened; for on no future
occasion did Jack ever speak his little
piece, SO carefully rehearsed on that
disastrous morning.

Feathered Pugilists.

| ''Morc care is taken in tho training
of fighting cocks than was ever spent
in getting Slugger Sullivan ready for a
match" said an old chicken fancicr,
yesterday, in answer to the query of q
reporter. The speaker handled the
"birds" in nearly every prominent
main that has been fought in or near
the city. He was one of the few who
escaped arrest at the recent raid upon
cock-fghtcrs at New Hunting park.
Neatly-arrangcd coops, containing fine
specimens of the fcathercd pugilists,
occupy the whole of the third floor of
his residence. When match is ar
ranged the training begins. and until
the battles are fought the chickens are
constantly under the trainers dircc-
ton. The first object is TO harden the
flesh and by exercise to increase their
staying powers. This is done by run
ming them back and forward on =
wooden table by the pressure of the hand
After a certain amount of this exer-
else the chicken is weighed, and if it's
flesh has not been reduced enough to
satisfy the trainer it is put through an
other process. The chicken is tossed
several feet into the air, and alights on
mattress placed upon the table. A
hundred times, possibly, the feathered
fighter goes up and down; when he is
put into dark but well-ventilated bar
rel. A couple of hours are allowed to
elapse, when he is again brought out,
and two little soft balls fastened to his
spurs. Another chicken is equipped in
like manner, and the two indulge in a
sparring match. This continues sever
al minutes, and while they strike each
other viciously no harm can result. I'M

feature of the training is the feed Civ

weight he is fed on raw beef. Roasted
corn and the white of hard-boiled eggs
are the principal articles of diet, with
a loaf of spiced bread, containing eggs,
sugar. rock candy, and variety of
spices, for dessert. The latter is eaten
with relish. The maximum limit of
weight of - fighting chicken is six
pounds, while the minimum weight is
four pounds. The sport of cock-fght-

What a Little Squirrel Can Do.

A man from Providence recently re.
ceived from Underhill, VT, fine gray
squirrel. As the family were on the
point of going away for few hours,
the box was hastily set in the hall. He
soon got out of his prison. however,
and going into the sitting-room he
amused himself by jumping from pict-
ure to brackets. one picture being turn
ed over and partly gnawed to pieces,
and the brackets swept of their adorn-
ments and scattered promiscuously.
He next turned his attention to the
window sash, which he stuck to lust
long enough to make it an eyesore.
Leaving the sitting-room he strayed
into the dining-room, where he found
nothing worthy of his notice but q
bunch of catkins, to which he paid due
attention, when he wandered to the
sleeping-room, where he must have
reveled for some time. A camphor
bottle was thrown to the floor, q
large cologne bottle was thrown down,
and pictures and ornaments left in wild
confusion, and the window-sash was
gnawed to such an extent that it will
have to be replaced by new one. He
finally left that room and took stroll
as far as the closet, where he managed
to break a towel bracket and completes

"A Washington Hermit.

For nearly a lifetime hermit named
John F. Birch and his sister have lived
in the ruins of a frame building which
stands on a vacant lot on street near
the Patent Office, and just around the
corner from the old Ford's Theater,
where President Lincoln was shot The
brother and sister inherited the proper
ty from their parents, but never i'm
proved it, living secluded from their
neighbors, scarcely ever venturing ont
upon the street to buy the necessaries
of life until after nightfall. The BROTH
er, who is said to be brother of Billy
Birch, the minstrel man, earned a
scanty living by repairing violins and
other musical instruments. A few
years ago the old building fell down,
but the occupants were unhurt; and
continued to make their home under the
same room, portion of which was in
such condition that it could be propped
up a few feet from the ground, SO as to
keep out wind and rain. The old ruin
was invisible from the street, because
of board fence, ten feet high, which
has stood there, it is said, fully forty
years. The property was sold at pub
lie auction few months ago, to satisfy
the claims of the tax collector, and tho
court ordered the marshal to deliver
the property to the purchasers. Under
the order of the court the hermit and
his sister were removed Thursday.
When boards of the high fence in front
of the lot were taken down large
crowd gathered on the sidewalks and
gazed curiously on the confused mass
of boards and tin roofing which were
piled up in the interior. When the
workmen began to move these boards
the hermit, tall man, without hat or
coat, emerged from the howell where he
had lived SO many years. He was ac-
companied by his sister, an old woman,
and their grief at being compelled to
leave their home found expression in
loud cries, mingled with entreaties to
the marshal and his assistants. The
hermit himself was calmly cool, and
after talking with the officers he re-
turned to arrange for his final depart
ure. The property has been sold for
$4,000, which will be divided between
seven heirs, the hermit and his sister
being among them. Among the crowd
on the sidewalk Birch recognized q
man whom he had not seen since the
latter was a boy forty years ago. The
scene was a most pathetic one, and
much sympathy was expressed for the
hermit and his sister, the more SO as it
is believed by some that in their ignor-
ance of business affairs they have not
received q fair value for their property.

Exploration in Australia.

An exploring party, under the lead
ership of Mr.. Charles Winnecke, an
experienced explorer and bushman,
has just made a successful journey
through large portion of unknown
country in the interior of Australia.
The party was provided with camels
and horses, but the latter were never
required. Mr.. Winnicke made start
from Cawarrie station, on the Warbur-
ton river, in latitude % degrees, and
traversed the country to the north as
far as latitude ~ degrees, effecting a
connection with previous explorations
near Goyder's pillars. A most re-
markable natural feature in the Tail
ton range was discovered by Mr.. Win
nicke during his Herbert river explora-
lions. Several long stages without
water were encountered a few days af-
ter the party left Cawarrie station, and
q distance of 100 to 300 miles had to be
traversed across the highest sand ridg-
es in Australia before water couldbe OBJ.

though carrying immense loads weigh
ing between 700 and 800 pounds each.
The party had recovered sufficiently in
two days to make the second stage of
about $50 miles without water. MANY
long stages Of between 100 and 200
miles without water were travelled, and

discipline and order Of the party were
such as to prevent the occurrence of
any mishap. In many instances the
sand ridges, which were from 800 to
400 feet high, and very steep, had to
be crossed at right angles. Two large
rivers and an extensive range were dis
covered near the Queensland bounda-
