A STRANGE FLOWER.
Story That Reads Like One of the Le-

gend> OF Mythology
In the western part of Jefferson
County, Fla. there grows and blossoms
into curious and magnificent beauty a
rose that seems to be indigenous TO a
small area of country, but which will
not flourish in other ATTITUDES. The
bush is 4 strong and vigorous one, and
the leaves are very light but glossy
green. The petals of the flower curve
slightly inward and are the color of a
bright arterial blood. The odOr il
pungent. but slightly sickening. The
peculiarly of this flower is that the
dew that drops therefrom is of a faint
pinkish east, a marvel seen in no other
flower. the battling wonder of those
who have witnessed it. Ii is called the
Grant Rose. and has sad and melan-
choly history. Its origin is one of
those mysteries with which nature at
times delights TO astonish her devotees.
In 1884 John Grant and Nellie Lowry
were married, After a happy year of
married life they and their baby We're

OF many in the adjacent counties. and
repeated efforts We're made To secure
the growth of the slips in other places,
but they have all failed of success.
Within an area of five miles. where the
doleful tragedy occurred, it is said that

Married to q Poor Prince.

In Paris, on February 10th, Miss Eva
Mackay, daughter of the Bonanza king,
J. w. Mckay, was married to Don Ferdi-
nand Julius Colonna, Prince Of Galatea.
The ceremony was private and performed
with pontiical high mass BY Monsignor de
Rende, Papal Nuncio, in the Nuncio's
chapel in that city. But forty persons were
present. The nu2tial benediction was ad-
ministered by Monsignor de Rende, who
also delivered the marriage address. The
civil ceremony of marriage which is re-
euired by French law was performed the
day before. Witnesses to this was the
Prince Colonna, Doria, u. S. Minister
Morgan and Duke de Cases. After the
celebration of the religious rite, Mrs. Mac
kay, mother of the bride, grve grand bril-
dal reception, which, in every respect, Will
rank with the most magnificent festivals IN
French history. The reception was espe'
cially distinguished by the quality OF the
guests, among whom were included about
every person Of distinction and worth IN
French society. Conspicuous among these
were General Count Menaorea, Italian
Ambassador to France, Count Camondo
and Madame Wyse Bonaparte.

4 Revival Incident.

Bozeman Courier: 1t is reported that
Young man, who bears the euphoneous
uame Of tones, and who had attended very
regularly the recent revival meetings at
the Methodist Church, had manifested con-
siderable serious concern regarding his
spiritual welfare, accepted an invitation to
attend little social gathering out in the
country one evening. jones' conduct was
criticised somewhat severely by afew over.
Jealous "professors," which so incensed
him that at the next religious gathering he
arose and "sroke out in meeting" denounc-
ing not only the members of the chnrch
as hypocrites, but Jesus Christ as very
bad man. A few nights following, how
ever, Jones experienced a change of heart,
arose in the meeting, declared that he had
found the Lord and suggested all to stand
pp with him who desired to 90 to heaven.
AS nobody accepted the invitation it is
query in Jones' mind whether there is 60
ing to be much OF an immigration to that
distant country or not. Jones seems deter
mined, however, and it will not surprise us
TO See him some fine morning starting out
atoot and alone. There appears to be
good deal of human nature and Old Adam
in Jones' companion, as we'll as there is in
the remainder of weak mortals.

Versatility in Industry.

The Springfield Union, in comment
ing on the great iron strike in Penn
sylvania, whereby 10000 persons were
thrown out Of employment, and the
comfort and welfare of at least 250,-
900 persons were seriously interfered
with, makes a strong point in favor Of
industrial education. After calling at
tention to the fact that the indications
are that many Of the men who have
been thrown out of work must change
their yocations, the Union says:
"A training which gives a man YER
satility in industry does not leave him
utterly helpless when he is thrown out
of a special vocation. A change has
been going on in the iron industry, and
machinery is doing more and more Of
the work that had been done by hand.
Steel is taking tine place Of iron, and
within a short time new methods of
making steel have been invented and
set in operation. The men who have
the training or genius for it will be
wanted for the new processes, while
the others must wait for something to
turn up. All kinds of industries tend
to become more artistic and to
require greater and greater intel
ligcnce, and those who are edu-
Gated to an industrial versatility will
be able to keep pace with the times.
1t will never be possible to educate all
the workers, but as in the learned pro-
fessions, so in the mechanical indus
tries. there is always room at the top,
and the thing to do for our boys is to
start them in the way to reach the top"
Exactly. And how is industrial
ersatility to be attained? Through
industrial schools and schools of art and
design. Let the people of Richmond
remember that the city that would
reach the top must recognize this.

Killed by His Brother.

A Geneva IN. " special says: The
village of Naples, Ontario county, in
this vicinity, was thrown into excite.
ment yesterday afternoon at the news
that Simeon Lyons, a prominent farmer,
had been killed while insane by his
brother, Supervisor Irving Lyons. OF
the same town. For several months
Simeon Lyons had shown indications
of insanity. On Sunday he became
violent. and physicians decided that
he had TO be removed to an asylum.
Yesterday his brother, the super
visor, and j. b. Frasher went to re-
move the insane man, who. seeing
them, vowed that he would never be
taken alive. His family, terrified at
the maniac's rawlings, fed from the
house. The maniac glared fiercely at
his brother and Frasher, and before
either Of them could move he seized
Frasher, threw him to the floor, and
was about To beat his brains out
when Lyons restrained him. Both
men then grappled with the mad
man, who seemed possessed Of
superhuman strength. He was pushed
back against q window, which broke
and cut the faces and scalps Of both
the. maniac and Frasher. The insane
man, after . terrible struggle, was
thrown to the floor, where he raved
until his brother graspsd him by the
throat. Frasher went away to get straps
to secure him. lie was gone several

rha Enplish cabinet Crisls,

One aspect Of the English Cabinet
crisis almost approaches the grotesque.
II is evident that the Conservatives are
more Disconnected by victory than the
Liberals are by defeat. AT present the
former are Topping around like a
chicken without head. " The
trail is getting too fresh " for them,
anditisby omeanscertain thstnow that
they have an opportunity to form gov
eminent they will avail themselves Of it.
But whether they do or not, their victory
is likely to prove barren one. II they
accept the responsibility, as SAILS
BURY vehemently proclaims they will,
their government will be at the mercy
of Liberal majority in the House OF
Commons, and in q sense Dir. GLAD
STONE will stnl be master. IL they
decline, or il Mr.. GLADSTONE

the Queen has requested him to
do, he will have turned defeat into
victory. But this is not all. 1t is
probable that whatever the immediate
outcome Of the situation may be it will
in the end strengthen Mr.. GLADSTONE.
The franchise bill, Liberal measure,
will be in operation at the fall cleo
tons. Mr.. GLADSTONE is man
Of wonderful expedients, and should
he go before the people with
that measure in his hand, and at the
same time show that the present
crisis is due in large part to lingo OPP
position to his course in the Anglo
Russian matter, the result cannot be
doubted. Now that reason has taken
the place OF passion it is hardly proba-
bic that the people will fail to recog-
nize that but for Mr.. GLADsTONE's
craftsmanship, but for his firm adhe-
renee to what he believed to be right,
but for his humanity, England would
have been plunged into a war the cost
Of which in blood and treasure no man
could foresee.

printed little volume just issued from
the press Of WHITTET & SLEEPER
SON, Of this city. The author is Mr..
RoYALL W. FIGG, who was
gallant member Of the Parker Bat
terry during the late war, and his
book is chiefly history Of that
battery. What Mr.. FIGG had tc
tell he has told in simple, direct, and
entertaining style. Camp gossip, an
ecdotes, and personal "reminiscences arc
interviewer with descriptions Of marches
and fights in a manner that must make
the book popular not only with sur
yivors Of the Parker Battery, but with
all other ex-Confederates. 1t is
most acceptable contribution to
the literature Of the late civil war--all
the more so because it is unambitious.
The work is dedicated to the memory
Of the dead Of the Parker Battery,

Mr.. wsstsrson's Candidate Fails.


The appointment Of the Hon. Attills
Cox as collector Of internal revenue fcr
the Louisville district of Kentucky
closes a sharp contest in that State, in
which a number Of prominent politi-
clans took part. Besides Mr.. Cox there
were half dozen or more applicants.
and all more or less strongly endorsed.
Mr.. Charles Thurston, a wealthy gen.
tleman Of Louisville, was the fayorite
Of Senator Beck, Mr.. Henry Waiter
son, Congressman Willis, and ex-Mayor
Jacob. He was bitterly opposed, how
ever, by the present mayor, MIR. P.
Booker Reed. Ex-State Auditor Colo
mel d. Howard Smith and Judge R. A..
Burton were also applicants, while
Senator Blackburn recommended Mr..
Charles Green, deputy State Auditor.
The fight finally narrowed down to Cox
and Thurston but the latter, with
even Mr.. watterson's alleged potent
influence, failed to be appointed.
