A STORY OF A NEW ROSE.
The Origin of the Latest Product In Fine
Horticulture.

The Origin of the Latest Product in Fine
Horticulture.
The new rose, Beauty of America -
now the sensation in Washington, has a
history. 1t is well known that Mr..
Bancroft, the historian, has in his
grounds at Washington one of the rarest
and finest collection of roses in Ameri-
ca. His gardener was privileged to
take the seeds produced to experiment
on, and thousands of plants were raised
from these, but only one plant showed
indications of excellence. This was a
poor, tiny, neglected one, growing
among others. 1t probably would have
been lost to cultivation had it not been
seen by florist. who purchased the plant
two years ago from the original grower
for the sum of seventy-five cents! Two
years in the hands of this florist has pro-
duced plants enough to sell this spring
for $1,000, all of which are already sold
to New York and Philadelphia in lots
ranging from 500 to 1000. These plants
are but an inch high and cost $50 a
hundred.
Such results are very encouraging to
the originators of new varieties. With
in two years three roses have been in
troduced here-the Sunset of last
spring brought the originator $4,000;
the 'sBennett,' of Philadelphia, will
net $4,000, while the Beauty of
America will bring $4,000. - Washing

"A TRAGEDY"


With q Moral.
This is q poem on Spring, so fair,
~ warbling birds and balmy air,
nCf cooling breezes, babbling brooks,
II beauty, love and oozy hooks.
This Is the "fend" with struggling hair,
Check monumental and courage rare;
Who wrote the "pome onSpring, so fair"
VI whispering breezes, balmy air,
Lowing herds and gurgling brooks;
The same we read about in books.
Mis- is the editor filled with care,
hungry for more substantial fare
Ihan poems on Spring-his back most bare
Through need of better clothes to wear,
Who seized the "1end" with lengthy hair
That wrote the poem on Spring, so fair,
nor stopped to question why or where,
But hurled him headlong down the stair.
MORAL.
Poets! take warning from this rhyme,
ana II you wish to save much time
AND trouble, keep your poems all,
AND when the evening shadows fall
Just build q fire in the stove,
Inen take your poems on Spring, and love,
AND burn them all-don't spare one line
re godsI twould be an act divine.

Ex-VICE PRESIDENT SCHUYLER
CoLFAx dropped dead at half-past 10
O'Clock on lass Tuesday morning in the
Omaha depot at Mankato, Minnesota.
He arrived at that place on an eastern
train at 10 O'Clock and walked to the
Omaha depot, a distance of three-fourths
OF mile, with the thermometer at 80
degrees below zero. 1t is supposed that
the extreme cold, subsequent heat in
the depot and over-exertion caused a
stoppage Of blood to the heart. The
remains left Mankato the same night
for South Bend, Indiana, where Mr.
Coifsx had long resided. The news of
his sudden death will be received with a
feeling of sorrow throughout the whole

JAIL STORIES.

Within the last year our enterprising
friend of the JohnstoUn Tribune has ad
ded to the interest of bis paper by pro-
curing jail news from the Jail birds that
have served out their terms and been
discharged. As soon as a discharged
burglar, thief or slugger reaches Johns
town, the entarprising editor interviews
him and procures lots of stories Of the
inner life OF the county prison. OF
course these reports Of the enlarged
criminals are not true, but still they
make good reading, and as they stun
the editor be stuffs the reader. Be
sides, the editor deserves praise for
associating with characters Of this kind
for the benefit OF his readers. II is ru-

confined for sheep stealing, ian ofiense

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION FOR 1884

per cent, the arrivals being about one
hundred thousand less than during 1888.

WE regret that we cannot lay before
our readers the whole of Gov. Pattison' s
message to the Legislature, aud as the
next best thing we can do we publish on
our first page a condensed statement of
most of its leading features, for which
we are indebted to the Lancaster Inteli-
qencer. 1t is long time since a Cover
nor of this State put forth so exhaustive
and in every aspect 50 admirable docu-
ment. No man can read it, even though
he does not subscribe to some of the Gov
ernor's views, without having the con-
victioH forced upon him that Robert Z.
Pattison is an honest, straightforward
and fearless defender of the rights and
interests of the people. He shows that
he possesses a thorough knowledge of
the affairs of the Commonwealth, how
the welfare of the people in many re-
spects can be improved by legislation,
and how the public treasury can be pro-
tected from systematic plundering.--
His remarks in regard to the continued
refusal of the IaiTOad companies of the
State to obey the provisions of the Cou-
s:itution forbidding unjust discrimina-
tions in freight charges. are especially
plain spoken ard vigorous. His posi-
tiun that the members Of the Legislature
ought to be paid a fixed salary instead
of per diem allowance. for which this
paper has contended during the last five
years, is sound and impregnable, and ,foI
many reasons in the iRteresL of undoubt-
ed economy. The message in every re-
spect is an exceptionally able and inter-
esting State paper, and reflects npon its
author infinite credit.

AT the session Of the Legislature two
years ago when the Democrats had
majority in the House, they abolished
quite a number OF the minor offices,
thereby saving the State about fifteen
thousand.dollars, but as soon as the Re-
publican majority in the present House
got down to business last week, they
filed all the vacant places with new
men taken with them from their homes
to Harrisburg. The Democrats pro-
tested against this reinstatement OF
unnecessary and useless officials, but
Colburn, of the Somerst ''glades," who
assumes of a small way TO be the Re
publican leader, declared that the act OF
Assembly of 1874 made provision for
the officers, and that he and his friends
intended taking all that the law gave
them. There was no pretense that the
last House suffered any Inconvenience
by cutting down the number of employ
ees, but because a law passed eleven
years ago created the offices, therefore
the Republicans would fill them, and
they did. Gov. Pattison, anxious to
cut down the expenses of the Legisla-
ture wherever it can be done, recon-
mends in his message that the office of
Resident Clerk of the House and that of
Senate Librarian be abolished, and
gives conclusive reasons why it should
be done. The Governors recommenda-
tion, however, is not likely to make
much impression upon Legislature, a
majority of whose members are ready
to exclaim with Webster Flanagan, of
Texas, ''What the ID are we here for
