Flower Seeds Worth Their Weight
in Gold.

From an Interview with a Pittsburg Florist.
Just now the fashionable rage is for
loose flowers, roses, carnations, lilies
Of the valley, hyacinths. These are
scattered promiscuously over the table
at swell dinner parties, and have a most
pleasing effect. The latest develop
meat in roses is the Bennett tea rose.
1t was reared by an English horticul-
turist, and is the popular flower in the
east now. This rose is of a deep Grim
son hue, something similar to the "Jack"
rose. 1t IS certainly q beautiful flower,
and they are snatched up eagerly in
New York at 81 per bud. A bouquet
of Bennett roses, you can we'll UNDER
stand, represents quite an investment.
The Marshall Neil rose is still a prime
favorite; it sells for twenty-five cents.
The pearl, a pretty yellow rose, brings
Is cents, and the Duke of Connaught,
a fine dark red rose, commands thirty
five cents. Lilies are worth thirty cents,
camelias fifteen cents and carnations
five cents. have received word that
two of the leading florists of New York
City have packages of rare seeds locked
up in vaults of the Safe Deposit Com
pany here which are worth four times
their weight gold.

Literary Centennial.

As we are going through IN epoch of
centennials it might be well to notice
the fact that it is just 100 years since
Amarican literature took its first start
after the revolution. The first book
published on this continent after the
peace with Great Britain was 'Watts's
Psalms" edited by Joel Barlow, which
was issued in Hartford in 1855. Barlow
was then thirty. He was a native of
Connecticut, and bad studied at Yale,
where in 1778 he delivered a poem, en-
titled the Prospect of Peace" His
poetic talents had already attracted
notice and this led the clergy to re-
quest that he should prepare an edition
of Watts for public worship. He also
edited a weekly paper in Hartford called
the American Mercury, but afterward
added law to literature. He had how
ever, already contemplated what he con-
sidered his great poem, "The Column
bad" This was not completed until
the lapse of twenty years, but its incep-
ton was given in the vision of
Columbus" which was published the
year our government was formed.

A Gorgeous Spectacle.

The Vienna Skating Club has just
had a great success with its fancy ball
held on the ice by the light of twenty
electric lamps, and before an audi
ence numbering over 1000 within the
Enclosure and several thousand be-
You'd. The ice was thronged with
masqueraders OF all kinds. About 200
hrst-rate skaters performed a panto-
mime, the scenes for which were form
ed by grottoes of ice and plants m
belllshed with colossal icicles and
frozen spray. A score of lady skaters
personified nyInphs and goddesses. A
gorgeous procession, about half a mile
in length, of cars, like those Of the
Italian carnivals, representing the sea-
som and other subjects, concluded
the pantomime. -New York Post.

at his heart, she determined to eventually ct.

at his heart, she determined to eventually Of.
feet a reconciliation.
BY inquiries she learned the whole bitter
truth. Grace Durant had fallen in love with
the son of Mr.. Durants bitter enemy, and
hopeless of gaining her fathers consent to
their marriage, had yielded to the entreaties OF
the young lover and had made a clandestine
match with him. He had lived but a few
with the world, and to try and wrest a living
from it for herself and her boy baby.
Surely Agnes had something to work upon.
Who could resist the thought of a little
grandson.
Again she went to her husband with n like
ness; but this time of a dimpled, dark-eyed
boy.
He received it from her carelessly; looked a,
it first in a ~listless ';Who is this!"
The young wife trembled, but she answered
bravely, SIT is your grands1 IN and name-child.

ones into your heart and home"
Mr.. Durant looked at the fair young pleader
curiously; a suspicious moisture dimmed for
an instant the brightness of his dark eyes.
Ihen he said slowly, do you know what
your intercession will cost you-that is, if /
accede to your requestg Agnes, think well OF
what you are doing. My will is made and it is
in your favor"
Burn it! 1t is unjust! Here is your right

ure.

Thus Agnes made peace between the father
and daughter, and when the sweet gift of a
young soul clad i'll mortal Guise came to her
own arms a few months later, he was received
with a joy which was not dimmed by the feel
ing that her own little son was an interloper-
taking the inheritance from tho rightful heir:
and tho blessing which is promised to al!
,peacemakers' descended upon the happy
home, making it like a f~oretasto of heaven tc

vanderbilts Plucky Daurhter.

William Seward Webb, q o of Gen.
James Watson Webb, the journalist,
married Leila Osgood Vanderbilt, the
last remaining unmarried daughter OF
William H.. Vanderbilt, the richest
man in America. 1t was a love match,
too, and the young pair are as happy
as turtle doves in each others society.
Webb was a young sprig and Wander
bilt did not like him. Figuratiyelv
speaking, he kicked him out of tho
house several times, but in this in
stance love laughed at kicks, and
doubtless would have taken cuffs at
the same time with perfect composure.
The fact is, Mr.. Vanderbilt forbade
him the house, but the youg girl was
in love with young Webb, and when
a girls in love there is one of two
things-she will either get over it or
go through with IL. Miss Leila had
set her heart on the young doctor, and
if the stern father had surrounded his
domicile with a fence bristling with
spikes, scattered broken bottles at all
the approaches and populated the in
closure with hungry bulldogs the
Romeo OF my story wouldhave braved
all the dangers, with the additional
one of the Vanderbilt boot, to bask in
the light of his lady-love's eyes. The
gentleman wa u%nrelenting, and I veri-
l.y believe there would have been an
elopement but for the interference Of
Mrs. Vanderbilt. She was the daughter
of a clergyman, you know. She is
good hearted and sensible, and with a
woman's foresight saw how things
were going and told her husband that
he must not try to prevent the match.
He respects his wife. who is all that a
helpmate implies to him, and bowed
to her will. They were married with
a good deal OF pomp. Mr.. Vanderbilt
made the young man a junior partner
in a firm of brokers, to give him a
Wall street education, and then set
him up in business for himself.-Syra-

The New Orleans Exposition OF
1885 6.

The approaching grand display
at New Orleans, to be known as
the "Exposition OF the Three
Americas" Central, North aud
South), aside from It's general ob-
jet the promotion Of the welfare
Of this entire Continent-presents
to the individual American and
particularly those in this latitude,
much to interest, instruct and
amuse. The management this
year not having to contend with
the many difficulties which Sc
materially effected the success Of
the Exposition of 1885, promise
an exhibition which will surpass
any display of the kind ever held
on this Continent. The increased
facilities for getting to and from
the grounds in New Orleans as
well as the efforts of the railroad
companies throughout the country
to provide the most complete and
satisfactory arrangements for those
desiring to attend the Exposition
will have their weight. Not the
least among the latter is the OHIO
q MISSISSIPPI RAILWAY, having
recently put two new Sleeping Cars
on their line which leave Cincin-
natl at 7 80 P. NJ. every day in the
week, and run through to New
Orleans WITHOUT CHANGE, arriving
there in time for breakfast the
second morning. These cars are
fitted up in the highest style of the
art and lack nothing that modern
invention and Improvements have
offered for the comfort of travellers.
The route is via Odin, Ills, and
the Illinois Central Railroad. The
Northerner will find this trip q
most agreeable one; the mouth Of
the Ohio where it joins the Great
Father Of Waters" Cairo the Diked
City, Milan, Jackson, Tenn, Jack
son, Miss, on down with the
warmth of Southern sun stealing
into ones veins making all nature
seem a land of bliss which culmi-
mates only when the Crescent City
bursts upon the view from a land
of ever blooming flowers.

Prohibition Prohibits In The Biz
Sandy Valley. The Satanic
Glare OF 1.-THE Red Lamp Nowhere
to be Seen.
A Kentucky Letter from Vest Vir-
ginian.
DEAR FREEMAN

DEAR FREEMAN:
A very intelligent lady accom-
panied by her husband came to
Paintville, KY, yesterday evening.
After spending few hours in
the town, she said to her husband,
"Mr. Bradley, how is it? Every
thing up here seems so peaceful,
so quiet and so moral. Why
haven't heard an oath since l came
here, and even on the rough stage
road from Richardson here, 1
never heard a rough word from the
driver or any one, nor have | seen
any one under the influence of
whisky. It's different from most
small towns. Why is it?'
"The explanation is very simple"
replied Mr.. B. "The good people
of this country prohibit the whisky
traffic" But said the lady, "the
people in our place say "Prohibition
aoont prohibit" YES" said he,
"but it does prohibit here; you
could not buy a drink of whisky
any where in this country"
"Well, we'll, I'm so glad | came
here, and see for myself. Pm going
to sit right down and write back
home that Prohibition does prohibit"
This conversation was only in
keeping with what had been
observing myself. l have spent
week on Big Sandy, have been as
far up as Pikeville, more than 100
miles from the mouth of the river,
and it's my opinion that there is
no people on this continent SO
much lied on, and SO badly mis-
represented as the thrifty inhabi-
tants OF the beautiful valley of the
Big Sandy. Louisa Paintville,
Prestonsburg and Pikeville are al
thriving towns. The Satanic glare
of red lamp, indicating a whisky
saloon, is no where 10 be seen.
These towns are incorporated
and | suppose have peace officers,
but there seems to be nothing for
them to do / have not seen q
policeman in any town on Big
Sandy. There are no drunk men
to arrest, no street fights to break
up, no houses of prostitution to
pull" The merchants pay cash
for their goods and have their bills
discounted. The people are not
all saints but l can safely say that
have heard less profanity and
vulgarity during the week | have
spent on Big Sandy than | have in
that length of time for 20 years.
