cannot be said, Of course, that the wretched

Under the circumstances the President

Tho corn.Flower in tho Garden.

EIehdnoe.
It is rather singular, with the very
numerous weeds we have received from
Europe, especially from England, that two
Of the commonest weeds Of the grain field
should not have been established here
the Corn-hower and the Corn Poppy.
Both plants are ANIMALS, and 1t may be
that they are prevented from appearing as
weeds, because the seeds cannot retain
their vitality in the severe cold OF our
winters. We have received so many coarse
aud uusishtly weedsirom Europe, 1t gems
n pity that we are deprived OF the really
beautiful ones.
The Corn.Aower Is frequently cultivated
in gardens, especially in the country, of
ten under the name Of the Bachelors
Buttons, name also applied to several
other flowers. Besides Corn.hower and
Blue.bottle, the plant is called in England
Blue.blaw and Hurtsickle, the latter
name from notion that in reaping, it
turns the edge Of the sickle. The plant
Is closely related to the thistles. The
head has an outer row oil very large forets,
which are OF one Of the most beautiful
shades OF blue to be found in any flower
Cultivation has produced purplish, white
and other varieties, none Of which equal
the original in beauty. This is said to be
the favorite flower Of the Emperor Will
liam, wherein he shows excellent taste,
go far as colori is CONCERNED. An old legend
sayp, that youth, named Cyanus, was
fond Of flowers, aud would pass days in
the fields, and instead Of burying him, or
even cremating his body, the Goddess
Flora transformed him into Corn-aower,
which was good and handsome thing for
the Goddess TO do.

San FdHciScO Chronicle.
In the old town proper Of Baden.Baden
there are some very ancient monuments
and relics. The Schloss is still called the
New Castle, although it was built back
yonder in the year 1870. Themost curious
things about this wonderful chateau are
the vast and gloomy subterranean apart
ments which underlie-itT and about which
mysterious and bloody legions are related.
They Of course include chamber of tor
ture, in the floor Of which trap-door
opens on the Virgin Kiss. The poor devil
who had been condemned to death was
brought here to be told that he was free.
Then he was led cloas to a statue Of the
Virgin Mary that stood in the room, and
asked to return thanks to her for his re-
lease and to kiss her on the lips. His
doing 80 touched a spring that opened the
trap under his feet, and the unfortunate
man dropped down forty feet to fall into
the outstretched arms Of a female statue,
which was as thickly covered with sharp
spikes and razor.hlades as there are quilts
on the fretiul porcupine.

Government Employ mont Of Convict Labor.
In his address before the General AS
sembly OF the Knights OF Labor, at Ham,
ilt1n, Ontario, Grand Master Workman
Powderley had this 10 cay OF contract
labor:
The attention OF the people Of America
was openly directed to the letting OF q
contract for the erection Of Government
building to an employer OF convict labor.
The reason assigned for letting the con.
tract to such a person was that the work
would be done cheaper than il the con-
tract were awarded to an employer OF hon
est labor" The Government had no
business to inquire who did the work SO
long as it was done cheap! Such doc
trinc may be in accordance with the law
as at present framed, but, lit ia, then the
law should BIO repealed at once. The sin
OF cheapness is becoming national one,
and must be punished, one way or another,
il persisted in. With the number OF indus
trious men walkingthe streets OF our cities
aud towns in idleness, it seems to me to be
nothing less than criminal for the Govern
meut TO award contract to an employer
OF cheap labor, no matter whether II
comes from the pcnitentiary or foreign
land.
Secretary Manning did not fully appre-
ciate what he was doing or what influences
he was arousing when he took this stand.
He consoled himself with the thought
that the letting OF contract is q
matter Of cold business--only that
and nothing more. He did not realize
that his cold view was not likely to be
well received by people OF heart. The
people OF this country do not expect that
their government will directly or indirect
ly employ convict labor which comes in
competition with free labor. In prosper
GUS times such thing might pass IN
noticed or with little comment, but these
are not prosperous times.
Secretary Manning could not have care
fully considered the matter orhe wouldnct
have laid the administration open TO the
only Interpretation than can be put upon
his act.
