NEwEsTKINK OF THE FLORISTS.
Writing Love Messages and Initials
Upon Roses.
FrOo, the PAiladelDhja Record.

From the PhikIdeiDhGG Record.
In the window of a Chestnut street
florist little vase contains a bunch Of
skillfully made artificial roses of various
colOrs, from the creamy white of the Cor
nela Cook to the royal velvety crimson of
the Gen Jaqueminot, and each has a lea
or two turned down, on which in tiny, but
well-tormed, old English letters is a short
motto of the "Remember me-" ITO my
love" and 'AfiectiOn's Offering" order.
The lettering is in black, save in the case
Of the dark red roses, IN which case IL is
white.
A placard tells the passer-by that writ
ing will be done to order on the leaves OF
natural flowers, and, this icing a novelty
IN Philadelphia, the florist was question
ed upon the subject. "Quite new idea
just brought over from Paris, where IL Is
now all the rage" he said, as he brought
the vase Oflinen roses TO the counter and
exhibited them. These are, of course,
only samples" he continued, "to show
the effect Of the lettering on the various
shades of roses or other flowers that have
large enough leaves or petals to be thus
treated; but the effect Is precisely the
same when the natural flowers are used.
No: IL does not cause the leaf TO wither.
ana will remain perfectly legible as long
as the Hover retains It's freshness, and Of
course, a customer can have whatever he
chooses written on his roses If be does not
desire too many words upon a leaf. The
charge is SOC. for writing upon one leaf,
but you can have four written upon for a
dollar, and that is about as many as could
be treated on single rose without mar
ring it's shape. The work is done By
young Frenchwoman, but the process is
her secret, and she claims TO be the only
person IN the city who is acquainted with
the art.
From the appearance Of the letters they
are either carefully written by steady
hand or are stamped upon the petal.
Speaking OF the novelty last evening, a
lady who has travelled extensively in
Europe said: Il noticed the flowers, but
1t is not the first time have seen writing
upon rose leaves, as in 1880, while in
Vienna, my cousin with whom / was
travelling received bunch of roses on her
birthday, and her name ths date and
many happy returns were most dAintily
inscribed on the leaves OF three lovely
pink roses that formed a portion OF the
bouquet. They were present from her
father, who went into one OF the leading
florists TO order them and was shown the
process by one OF the clerks. If remem-
Der correctly, the writing was done with
a pen. Since that time / have never
seen anything OF the sort, and had quite
forgotten the incident until l saw those
artificial roses and the notice in the win

NoUCH FOR MY STORY.
A. the early part of the war a negro
was executed, not a hundred miles from
the Classic City. for an ATTEMPTED outrage
on white woman. The debased charac-
ter of his victim only saved the negro n
worse fate. He was tried, condemned
and executed, and as was then the law,
his
BODY WAS TURNED OVER TO 4 PHYSI-
CLAN
for dissection. The body Of this felon was
given to cranky sort of doctor, who Of
iciated at the execution. When the ne
gro was cut down he threw the corpse in
the back part OF his buggy, the legs hang
ing over and dangling around the aXles.
Thus he drove home, about five miles, and
that night
LOCKED UP HIS SUBJECT
in the office. The next morning the doc
tor was up by times, and moving "A table
under some trees in tie yard, began his
work Of dissection. The negro was large
and quite heshy, aud near the table stood
a tub, into which the
FLESH WAS THROWN
as fast as cut away. But before this was
done the skin Of the man was carefully
removed, as if he had been beef, and
hung upon a fence. When pretty well
cleaned OF their flesh, the bones were
placed in large pot and boiled perfectly
white. Even while this
DISGUSTING AND BARBAROUs WORK
was going on, no attempt was made at
cOncealment, the dissection taking place
in plain view of the road, where the pas
sers-by could see what was being done.
But this worse than human brute did not
stop here. The lease from this negro he
extracted and afterwards
MADE UP INTO soar,
and had his clothing washed with it. The
hide he tanned himself, and wore a pair
of shoes made therefrOm, while the skele-
ton was strung with wire and Ornamented
his office. The people in that locality
were naturally
OUTRAGED AND INDIGNANT,
and an effort was made TO get the doctor
before the courts; but no law could be
found touching his case, and be went I'M
punished by man. We say UNPUBLISHED
by man; but he certainly paid dearly for
his freak, for in less than l. months this
creature
DIED BY HIS OWN HAND.
He was abhorred and ostracisad, lost his
practice, and his presence in crowd was
enough 20 dispense it. For a long time he
tried TO brave public opinion and wore the
human hide shoes, but be could not stand
the pressure of condemnation of his bru-
tai act, and in fit Of passion or despon-
dency ended his own lite.

FOUND IN A WE'LL.
The Dead Bodies Taken Out of the Well
at the Cemetery.

From tho Griffin tGaJ Eetos.
In our Sunday issue we mentioned that
two ladies, walking in the cemetery, had
discovered in an old well what they were
assured was the body of dead man.
City Sexton Higgins, armed with Crap
ping hooks, and ACCOMPANIED by the
force OF street hands, went to the
cemetery to drag the well and in
vestigate the cause of the offensive smell
arising from the well. After an hours
steady work he felt the hooks catch on to
something, and, upon pulling them up.
discovered dead body in their grasp, and
on looking in the well saw two more
bodies that had come to the top OF the
water, making three In all. Although
greatly surprised at the number of bodies
in the well, on further reflection they gave
clew to the solution of what had at first
been mystery.
1t has been suspectee. in fact known to
Mr.. Higgins, for some time that the ceme-
terry was the rendezvous of a gang of
thieves, who nightly committed depreda.
tiOns, and by day hid themselves among
the tombs or IN the adjoining woods, and
every effort has been made to effect their
capture, but to no avail. Never until
now could the faintest suspicion of a
bloody act be traced to them, and even
now it might have been by accident that
these bodies found their way in the well.
Although the three bodies were much
decompOsed, it was quite an easy matter
to recognize them as belonging to that
terrible enemy of shrubs and young trees
the rabbits. 1t has not been definitely as
certalned whether or not they had falling
out among themselves, and these are the
bodies of those who fell in the fray, or
that they became thirsty, and in trying to
drink out of the well dropped in and
were drowned, but public sentiment
leans to the latter conclusion.
