BOTANICAL BREVITIES.

THE sweet-scented Peruvian hello
trope, or CHERRY pie" was introduced
from South America in 174O, having been
discovered by the celebrated Jussieu
when botanizing among the Cordilleras.
AN ever-blooming rose of dwarf habit
with bright pink semi-double flowers,
called Rosa semperforens Fellenberg,
is used largely in Berlin for the decora-
ton of flower-beds in public squares and
private gardens.
ONE of the reasons for the strong hold
the chrysanthemum has upon popular
regard lies in the fact that it is an old
fashioned flower. 1t has a claim upon
the affections of many people through
early associations and childhood remem-
ORANGES that the later triumphs of the
florists art can never obtain.
A NEW Persian dye plant, the zalil,
has been discovered in India. 1t grows
freely in Afghanistan and Khorassan,
and its flowers, which are of bright
yellow color, are dried and used as dye
throughout Persia and Upper India. 1t
is perennial, and the blossoms grow
OAA oPAhCo WV AOCO 4AC aIO uoCO
as medicine as well as for dyeing pur-
poses.
THE water lily is largely used in some
parts of India as food stuff. This fruit
of one species that grows plentifully in
the lakes of Cashmere is rich in starch
and has much the flavor of a chestnut.
If the nuts are dried they will keep for
long time, and when ground may be
made into cakes or porridge, or they
may be soaked for some hours and then
boiled.
THE distillation of essential oils from
various species of plants, such as laven-
der, thyme, fennel, rosemary, etc., is
quite profitable in Southeastern France,
The country Is here very arid and ster-
lie, and these humblest of plants are, by
industry and careful management, made
to give prosperity to large number of
people. The United States is the largest
consumer of these oils, and in time they
will doubtless be produced in our own
country. The still required for distilla-
ton is simple and inexpensive.

New ORLEANS, La, June 2s-John
l.. Sullivan strobe up and down the
rotunda of the St. Charles Hotel this
morning a very angry mar indeed.
Muldoon was the object of his wrath, and
if the wrestler had been at hand there
would have been an excellent mill with
no gate receipts. When Sullivan paid
his fee at Purvis he boarded the first
train for this city without awaiting the
arrival of Muldoon, Cleary and Kilrain.
Muldoon was very angry at what he termed
Sullivan's ingratitude, and said that he
and Cleary saved the Boston slugger from
defeat at Kichburg, and that if John L.
entered the ring again with Kilrain he
would be the worst beaten man anybody
ever saw. He said that if the big cham
pion and Jackson ever meet in the
arena Sullivan would need a base ball
bat to keep the Australian from besting
him. When John l.. read these state.
nents in a morning paper he sent a mes
sage to Muldoon saying that he would
like the privilege OF meeting Muldoou
and Kilrain at once and proving to them
that he coul stllld fight.

Rio DE JANEIRo, June 4.-On May

slavery in Brazil, the friends eft Vlscount
de Pellets. the first Republican governor
of the state of Rio Grande Desul, called
a public meeting for the purpose of man
ifesting their friendship for him. Gov

lice. considering the time Ill chosen, pro-
hibited the gathering 1t was attempted,
notwithstanding, to make the demonstra-
ton, and q riot ensued, resulting in the
loss of one lite and the injury of several
persons. The governor at once sent In
his resignation, and Gen. Costa was APP
pointed. A close observation reveals that
there was almost no indication of a de-
sire on the part Of the people to return to
a monarchisl form OF government, and
the friends of the empire will hardly
raise that question in the approaching
election. They will content themselves
with endeavoring to secure a sufficient
number of members in congress to elect a
president who is friendly to them. The
indications are that Deodore Da Forsica,
the present chief of the provisional gov
eminent, will be chosen.

search was begun thirteen days ago. The
regular shift started again this morning

CHICAGO, June 2S.-The grand jury
today continued its Investigation into the
charges of aldermanic bribery in connec-
ton with the Lake street elevated road,
and there were sensational developments.
The alleged afidavits of Aldermen Walt
ner and Monear, bearing a %notarial seal
and the signature of Joseph q. Mackin,
the noted political Zine worker" were
laid before Mackin by the grand jury sew
eral days ago, but he protested to know
nothing about them, and the impression
was given that they were manufactured
by his clerk. Today an intimate friend
of the clerk went to the states attorney
and said positively the afhdayits were
drawn by Mackin and that the latter
boosted of the fact. A bailiff was sent
out after Mackin but he could not be
found. The general impression is that
he has absconded to avoid a prosecution
for perjury. Mackin was released a few
months ago from the Joliet prison, where
he served Eve years for manipulating
election returns.

1t is very odd that Frenchmen
should be so fond Of copying English
ways and using fragments of British
speech. No language is improved by
crude Importation from other tongues,
and most Of the English words which
have come into general use in France
have been annexed in the crudest man
ner possible, often with no clearer
understanding of their meaning than
the lady who had invited some friends

for pronra-c. ,tion-that, of course, is
impossible. The word club, for in.
stance, has long been a French posses

Tact in Managing the Boys.

A quaint story is told about Maste,
Tommy Anderson, an old time peda
gogue. Once he taught a school in
Pennington where the boys had driven
out several teachers. He found that
the chief conspirator was a good LOOK
ing, grown up girl, bright, saucy and
proud. The s~choolmaster wore his
hair in a cue, as vas the fashion in
those days. When he was doing a
sum-" with his head down, she tossed
his cue back and forth as if it were
a toy, much to the amusement of the
scholars. Uncle Tommy said nothing,
but kept up quite a thinking. lie
knew if he called out the guilty girl
and punished her the big boys would
rise and carry him out. So he adopted
unusual tactics in conducting his
campaign.
He found q lot of long hair hanging
up in a barn. From this he selected
and smoothed out a bunch resembling
a cue, and tied it up nicely with a rib
bon. Taking this to the school room
early the next morning, he suspended
it from the peg where the girl always
hung her cloak and hood, then he
commenced to set copies as usual.
When she came in and spied the cur:
ous continuance she looked surprised
and puzzled Quoth Master Tommy
i'll a mild tone of voice, Miss, l have
brought that bunch Of hair for you to
use as a plaything instead of my cue"
The proud spirited girl was Inundated
before the whole school and could not
help crying. Uncle Tommy had won
the victory by stratagem rather than
by force of arms and had no further
difficulty with his scholars
