A STORY OF A NEW ROSE.

The Origin OF the Latest Product in Fine
F 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. whopurchased 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 S., 900, all of which are already sold
to New York and Philadelphia in lots
ranging from 500 to 900. 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 Bennett of Philadelphia, will
net $4,000. while the Beauty of
America will bring $1,000. -- Washia9-

NO CHANGE.
ny CHARLES FREDERICK.

When Spring in all her beauty. dawns
And fills the world with pleasures fair,
And buds from Winters cold embrace
Burst forth upon the fragrant air;
The valleys bosom decked In green,
And the mountain doth her robe arrange
Amid all natures lovely scenes
My heart can feel no change.
When Summer skies are tinged with gold
And gentle winds blow calm and low,
And brilliant sunsets in the west
Reflect the golden arched bow;
The grain fields wave in the'gentle breeze,
Aud all around the fertile grange
Teens with the growing wheat and corn,
But still my Heart can feel no change.
When Autumns cooler days draw on,
And crops are gathered from the fields,
And birds they seek milder cline,
Away from where the cold wave steals
'repass away the weary hours,
All friend, pray you, think not strange
To know that mid all this, and more,
My heoyt can feel no change.
The Winters chilling blasts are heard,
And snow enwraps both vale and hill,
And flowing gently meath their crest
Still gliaes the river and the rill
| And all locks dead, and bare, and cold
Along the gay old mountains range
And alike the gentle vale below,
Still 8iy heda can feel no change.

w hat They Can Do.

Between forty and fifty years ago
there existed among American boys a
much greater capacity for turning their
hands" to any practical matter than is
found among them to-day. The boy ut
that period did chores" about the house
He was familiar about the stable. Even
in town or village he could milk the cows,
harness the horse, or mend broken
picket He learned early the use Of the
tools in the barn, and probably spoiled
more or less good lumber. A little older
he learned trade or went to sea. There
WIS not so much "styls" as now, but
more probability. More boys could
handle the axe, chop wood and use the
bucksaw. A great many American boys
now can do none Of these things. Every.
thing is done for them. They are above
grooming horses, milking cows, or mend
ing pickets. A trade is dispised. They
grow handed, we'll dressed, con-
vcrsant with the polish aud veneer Of
society, but often useless in practical
matters. Many of them cannot drive 4
nail nor tic square knot. IL the har-
ness break on an out of way piece Of the
road, they are helpless They cannot
ever make fire. They cannot use au
axe or Ratchet They cannot chop down
a cree " p0iot y stake. For the most
lriGing BIT of carpentry they must send

cooking tho simplest meal. They can
not plant potato or corn patch They
are useful where? At desk in bank
ing house or lawyers Office. They are
entirely professional" They are al
ways dressed up to the prevailing style,
and own no ovcralls or working clothes.

the possibility of its falling had been dis

it was desired that as a precautionary

A FALLING WALL.
Bricks and Mortar Take a Tumble

In removing the old building on the cor

room for new block, the west wall of the
structure was allowed to stand Last night
about o'clock the north half of the wall
which is of brick from the surface I'D to
height of about twenty feet, fell outward
from the bottom into the excavation which
Is being dug for the new building. For
tanately the fall was at an hour when no
workmen were about, otherwise there
tfould have followed fatal result. The
wall took with it the adjoining single row

ton of the wall of the st. Nicholas

yomething to brace it but f1imsy when
standing alone. The contractor, Mr. NJ. p.

carried to such depth as to undermine the

work to contractor Roache, and was not
responsible. Furthermore, he bad received

Bear lake for the past few days, and efforts
are being made to retain them at that
charming resort for the summer. Mr.. Leip,
the enterprising hotel proprietor is willing
to engage them three days a week.. and
movement is on foot to have them play one

the public spirited residents of Cottage
Park and the island will take an evening
each it is. understood that the Chateaugay
will take the remaining night. The band,
which is under the leadership of Albert

Louis Kimmel, the boy cornetist, is one of
exceptional merit. 1t spresence at the lake
would add much to the attractiveness Of St.
Paul's favOrite resort.

new ledge of sandstone on the Kettle river,
a few miles above Hinckley. Excellent
qualities are claimed for this article as a
stone for building and other purposes,
and if it answers expectations it can
be used not only for building
but for sidewalks, curbing and
even paving. An effort will
be made to have it used for the superstruct-

stone answer expectations, the Duluth road

THE BONUS CALLED FOR.
Subscribers to the Ryan Hotel Fund
Requested to Settle.

Y Yesterday afternoon the committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. Wheelock, Kelly, San
born, Stickney and William Lindeke, ap-
pointed some time ago when the project of
constructing the Ryan hotel was first talked
of and arranged for, examined the building,
and found Mr.. Ryan had gone forward
with the work with so much energy and
diligence that he now has it very nearly
completed, in fact, practically finished, that
it was concluded by the committee that it
would be no more than justice to call upon
the gentlemen for percentage of the sub
scriptions made by them so as to aid Mr..
Ryan in furnishing the same. The follow
ing is the report, which explains the whole
matter fully:
To the citizens of ST. Paul who subscribed
to the bonus for building the Ryan hotel: BY
the terms of your subscription each SUBJ
scriber agreed 10 pay Dennis Ryan, on COM
pletion of his hotel, according to contract,
such proportion of his subscription as might
be necessary to make bonus of $500, 600 net
cash to him. The total amount of subscrip-
ton was $3.50, 900. If all is collectable, II
per cent.of the subscription will be sufficient,
but as some of it may not be collectable your
committee have decided to call upon each
subscriber to pay to the st. Paul Trust COM
pany for Mr.. Ryan 80 per cent. of each sub
ScfipUlOn, with the UNDERSTANDING That IL more
than $500, 900 is collected the surplus shall be
returned, pro rata, by the Trust company.
The committee have arranged with Mr.. Ryan
and the St.Paul Trust company that Mr.. Ryan
will make his draft ION a blank prepared by
the committee) on each subscriber, in favor
of the Trust company, for so per cent. of his
subscription. A record of all subscriptions
paid will thus be kept in the books of one of
the permanent and reliable institutions Of the
city, so that all subscribers shall at all times
be able to ascertain the amount paid, and by
whom. Your committee believe that this as
sessment viii be ampleto make good the boz
nus to Mr.. Ryan, but desire it to be distinctly
remembered by all that if enough cannot be
realized upon one assessment of 80 per cent,
after all proper legal remedies shall have been
exhausted against delinquent subscribers,
each one viii be bound by his contract to
make good his pro rata share of any def
cheney within the limits of his subscription.
Your committee have examined Mr.. Ryan's
hotel, also the accounts of the cost of the
same, and report: First, the hotel is so nearly
completed, and the contracts for completing
the unfinished work are being so rapidly exc
cuted, that we have little doubt it will be
open for business by July l, 1885. Second,
