TIE air i filed with rumors of

is beginning to be believed that
there are some revelations to come
in the GRAVITY Ward affair which will
be very much more startling than
any that have yet been made.-New
York Herald.
1t will interest some people to
know that it is an idea of Secretary
Lamar that the pension agents of
the country should be union veter-
ans or their widows, and it is also
worthy of note that this Lamar is
the hideous old confed that we have
been reading about.-Chicago Her

Mr.. Foraker must be wrong when
he says that one of the motives
which led to the result in Ohio was
ga determination to give an express
sion in favor of free ballot and a
fair count in all our elections" If
that had been one of the motives
the result would have been the de-
feat of the party of marshals and

A BlOOd-Stained Rose.

Live Oak, Fla. Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
In the western part of jefferson coun-
ty there grows and blossoms into Curl
Gus and magnificent beauty a rose that
seems indigenous to a small area of
country, but which will not flourish in
other ATTITUDES. The bush is a strong
and vigorous one and the leaves are a
very light but glossy green. The petals
of the flower curve slightly inward, and
are the color of bright, arterial blood.
The odor is pungent, but slightly sick
ening. The popularity of this flower is
that the dew that drops therefrom is of a
faint, pinkish cast, a marvel seen in no
other flower, the battling wonder of those
who have witnessed it. 1t is called the
Grant rose and has a 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 happy year of
married life they and their baby were
murdered by Osceola's Seminoles. A
few years later passing hunter, one of
the original party that had found the
bodies, happened on the same locality,
and in the little hollow where the blood
had gathered he saw a vigorous bush
bearing such roses as have described.
He cut some slips from it and took them
to the settlement, where he related his
discovery.
Such a romantic and singular story
excited the curiosity of many in the adj
jacent counties. and repeated efforts
Were made 60 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 &C.
CURED, it is said, the rose can still be
found, with its strong and sturdy stalk,
its pale green leaves, its incurred GRIM
son petals and its bloody dew.

Mars is peopled by intelligent
beings, who are attract the atten-
ton of dwellers on this planet. So
says an Italian astronomer, Signor
Nozardi, who mentions that he will
yet discover what is meant by the
messages. On the face Of the planet
Mars be has remarked the presence
of various luminous points exceed
ingly brilliant, which shift about
from place to place, just as though
they were controlled by some intel
ligent action, so methodical is the
regularity with which they move.
He has reached, therefore, the rath-
er hasty conclusion that the sparks
he observes are photographic signals"
sent at random by the inhabitants
of Mars to the earth.

EIGHTY YEARS OF IGNORANCE.

Summer Hartwell, the octogena-
rian hermit of Shirley, is dead. He
lived and died in the room where he
was born. He passed half of his
life in locality where he could hear
the locomotive whistle daily, yet he
never rode ON q train of cars, and
knew not the appearance of the in
side of an ordinary freight caboose.
He had no idea of the nature of the
telegraph instrument, and had failed
to gaze upon the telephone trans
mitter. Horse cars would have been
as strange to him as they would have
been to the North American Indian
in 1887. OF the several towns near
Shirley he had visited only two.
The city of Fitchburg, two miles
away, he knew no more about than
he did of Herat. From the hilltop
where he passed his days can plainly
be seen the church spires in Lunen-
berg, three miles away, yet Summer
Hartwell knew as much about Con-
stantinople as he did of Nuremberg.
He had been TO Townsend Harbor,
an adjacent village, and had paid

visits to grist-mill on the edge Of
Groton, but at that point he would
not alight from his team. Neither
curiosity nor desire for informa-
ton had ever prompted him to learn
in just what manner his corn was
turned into meal. Hartwell never
saw circus, never attended a coun-
try cattle show, never heard of a
thousand matters familiar to every
schoolboy in the land. For forty
years he had not attended church,
but he made the request that when
he died the bell upon the Unitarian
church be tolled, and it was.
Politically this odd fellow was
Republican, but he did not follow
closely the political world. He voted
for Blaine last year, but he did not
larry at the polls. Disappointment
in love is popularity supposed to have
caused him to scclude himself from
the world, but nothing definite on
this point is known.

MUSICAL NOTES,

Sir Arthur Sullivan, the celebrated
composer, is now in California.
Carl Barmann, the famous clarinet
player, died at Munich July 10th.
An infant pianist of extraordinary
ability, Livea Dentati, eleven years
of age, has appeared recently at
Naples.
Blind Tom, the noted pianist, has
unfortunately lost his reason. His
insanity is said to be caused by over
eXertion and excitation.
About one hundred and fifty thou
sand strangers visited London, Eng,
for the recent Handel festival. The
American contingent numbered ten
thousand.
Deolet Effendi, bandmaster to the
Sultan of Turkey, has been commits

Mr.. Albert P. Peck, superinten-

these islands will doubtless remember
him.
A curious ceremony was celebrated
the other day in London. The Gre
gorian Choir, to the number of one
thousand, marched round in st.
Paul's Cathedral singing the quaint
old GregOrian chants. Instrumental
players at certain distances kept the
choir in tune.
A public meeting was held June
