Mr.. Louis Gilen, OF this city. who Is 8
great lover Of flowers and who has the larg.
est collection and variety in the city, has haC
u ht-blooming cereus to bloom twice this
week, Que Tuesday and one Thursday night
This singular and beautiful flower opens only
at night. commencing soon after sundowr
and being fully open hy eight o'clock, lftcl
which it soon begins to close again, and in
few hours fades and drops from the stem
The flower when fully opened Is about the
size Of an ordinary saucer. has pure white
leaves, with carpet or pistil of a cream color
the whole surrounded with a multitude o
spike-like leaves giving the whole q mos
beautiful appearance. Tine plant now ha'

The repeal of the Sunday ordinance by
the city council at its meeting last Tues
day night was not a surprise, for /
had been foreshadowed by the ~instruc.
tons given TO the ordnance commit
tee last week. But it was expected that the
council would have sufficient regard for thu
large number Of persons whose names wert
signed to the remOnstrance to give them 8
respectful hearing. This. we are informed
was not done, and the names OF only q few
of the signers were read. after which the or.
dInauce was pushed through under whip ant
spur. Fortunately for those who still have
regard for the Sabbath and who wish to see
it properly observed the state law is still il
force and the necessary steps can be taken tC
bring the violators to time through the me,
dunn of the grond jury and the crimina
court. Perhaps some OF those now eXultiing
over the repeal of the ordinance may have
cause to regret tina! they had not been left Il
the tender mercies OF Recorder Meet, rather
than TO the Just Indignation OF Judge JnO. +

The I'D. +. N" Literary Society, OF which
we spoke week before last as having givei
its first open session at the residence
of Mr.. Lewis Greene, gave another o
their most pleasant receptions at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Ferd. ID. Smith, near Prairl,
church last Thursday night. While one o
the very pleasant features of the last enter,
tainment-the literary xeicises-were dis
pensed with on account OF the extremely
warm weather. still the entertainment was
social success in every sense Ci the word. b,
nine O'Clock a select crowd Of about tifIy
young ladies' and gentlemen had gathered OF
the beautiful lawn IN front OF the resideBc,
and in the parlors and two short hours werl
spent In pleasant conversation, instruments
and vocal selections and in various othel
ways. At eleven O'Clock luncheon was an
nOunced and the guests repaired TO the cas-
side Of the lawr, where a table was spread
and tastefUlly decorated with fruits, cske
and flowers. A very wise ruling OF the soci
ETY. is that it limits the number Of items OF
she bill Of fare to ice cream, cake and truit
ana those preparing this lunch evidently cen
tered all the efforts generally necessary il
preparing for a more formal reception il
supplying these. Tit refreshments wer'
delicious aud the warm weather mad
them very desirable. At about one o'clocI
the guests departed for their homes all wei
satisfied and highly pleased with the bospl
t~alities of the entertainer, Miss SaIli
Smith, and the one IN whose honor the re
ceptlon WAS given, Miss Gertrude Moore, o
