Flower pieces,

The arrangement Of flowers into
different shapes, over wire frames
is violation Of good taste. The
arrangement may show ingenuity
but when flowers are fixed in a
manner that Nature never fixed
them in, there is no beauty added
to them. People looking at a
flower piece" exclaim how beauti-
full" but they are admiring the al
legged cunning Of the arrangement
and not the flowers themselves.
The truth is that all stiff lines of
arrangement do not assist the
beauty of the flowers. Refined
gold is not to be gilded nor can the
lily be painted SO as to improve
it. Still less can flowers be i'm
proved by arranging them out of
natural order. The San Francisco
Wasp expresses our sentiments in
the following:
It is to be wished we might have
a law against the use of wires in
floral tributes" The flower
piece" is an abomination the abom-
inableness whereof transcends ex-
preston. " Harps. -" hearts,
crosses, stars ships" and the
other vegetable crimes committed
by an unhallowed ingenuity in
qualification of an untutored taste
ought to be subject to destruction
by the police wherever found. We |
hold that no sane intelligence eyer
looked on any formal arrangement
of flowers upon Il shaping frame
without consciousness of unchrist-
ian desire Among the reprehen-
sible denominations forwarded to
New York last week, for use at
Park on Decoration Day,
was floral equestrian statue"
We are told that 1t represented the
late General Grant and-of course
"a horse; General Grant being
distinguished from the horse by be-
ing on top. A tEing Of so venom
ous hideousness and paralyzing
power never before desolated the
field Of human emotion. Why
should florists be permitted to
i've by addition of new terrors to
Heath and fame?

Don't Want white Washing.

1t is very easy to fathom the
clamor some people make against
the White Laundry. Many Of the
patrons Of the Chinese like them
because they are very easy about
collection. Some of the Chinese
say that white families in Carson
owe from one hundred to five hun
drcd dollars for washing.
There are families in this city
who flaunt themselves over the
town as if they owned the very
air that other people breathe.
They wear the best and eat
the best of everything, and
never pay dollar for it. They
think If the Chinese wash houses
are driven out of Carson that they
will be compelled to pay cash at
the white laundries, and that's
where the shoe pinches their deli
cate toes.
Nothing is so detrimental to the
interests Of town as lot of gilt
edged dead beats who are ever
lastingly holding their noses above
the heads of those Of the common
herd that pay. The laundry agi-
tatien will work some Of these soap
bubbles to the surface, and there
they will burst. When you hear
anyone assert that the opium
favored linen from a Chinese
washhouse is better than the wash
ng Of the White Laundry, ask him
how much he ewes the Chinese
aundries and see hsw quick he
Iuits. : ."s..s'..:

Carson Mint.

WASHINGTON. June 9.-The Sec
rotary of the Treasury has address
ed a communication to the Speaker
Of the House, inclosing a report
from the Director of the Mint in
Carson, Nevada. The Mint Direct
or calls attention to the fact tn at
the Legislative Appropriation bill
contains no provision for the care
and custody of the Mint at that
place whilst it is closed He also
suggests the propriety Of appropri-
ating sum equal to last years APP
preparation, so that the operations
may be resumed, especially in view
of the fact misrepresentation have
been made to the Mutt Bureau Of
the readiness on the part of the
producers of bullion to deposit the
same at the Mint at Carson, instead
of sending it to private refners, on
condition that certain benefits,
which it is claimed are conferred
by law, and which during the pres
ent year have been withheld from
this institution in common with
some others, are restored The
Director adds that it is doubtless
true that the cessation of deposits
at the Carson Mint was largely due
to. the payment Of depesitors by |
drafts instead Of in cash, and the |
Of transportation
charge upon depositors in excess of |
the rate paid by private shippers,

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Stephen
B. Elkins said today that he had
not seen Blaine for some time
He said, however, if Blaine had an
idea of working for the Republican
nomination it would be much to
early to start boom yet. He be-
lieved that if the nomination did
come it would be as the result of a
demand from his party, and that
no manufactured boom would bring
it about. Elkins said that Blaine s
efforts for the nomination were
confined to the Conventions of
1876 and 1880, and that the Con-
vention before which Blaine did
not fight was that which gave him
the position in 1884. Speaking of
President Cleveland, Elkins said
he thought that the Democratic
party would probably nominate him
again.
