Poetic Names Of Chrysanthemums.

From the Boston Advertiser.
We have been accustomed to regard the bril-
liant tints Of autumn as the forerunuer Of win.
ter. But the true precursors Of the season of
frost and cold are the chrysanthemums Just
now they are in their glory, and they will
abide with Us far beyond the period when other
flowers, save those kept carefully under
glass, have left us 'The flowers OF gold" the
etymologists tell rs the name signifies but the
cunning Of the florist has brought out in the
cbrysanthemum other colors than that of gold
and of the sun. That florists window opposite
Park street Is glorious with its show Of these
magnificent creations. The chrysanthemum
OF thirty years ago in our country was a simple
little affair, which few cared for and which at
tracted but slight attention. But this galaxy
Of named varieties, enormous in size, intricate
in construction. brilliant in color, are a feast
for the eyes. How poetical are some of their
names: Fair Maid Of Guernsey" "Boule
dor" "Kio.o," Golden Dragon" elaine"
Some bear the names of persons, as president
Hyde" Mrs. Thomas Mack" Mrs. Alpheus
Hardy" or Helen Calvin" All show the
highest degree Of cultivation, and even more
than the ari-colored forest leaves give for us
| q cheerful farewell to the summer time. 1t is
really only a few weeks from the last Of the
chrysanthemums to the first Of the crocuses,
and even In the interregnum the florists win
dows will give us aSimpse OF what our friends
in more genial climates have with them the
year round. The chrysauthemum should have
our thanks for bridging over SO much OF the
chasm between the autumn and the early
spring.
It is not every flower that has a history. Bot
although the chrysxnthemum has only Of re-
cent years attained Q distinction among US, it
has long been favorite in Japan. We OF this
country have recently been struggling with the
question Of adopting a national flower; but the
japanese, who claim the origin Of the chrysan-
themums, long years ago adopted it as their ma
tional flower and emblem. For . century it has
dourished in Europe, having been brought there
| from Japan, and 30 much do our European
| friends admire this flower that year ago they
celebrated the centennial of its introduction.
We OF this country have scarcely time TO cele-
brate centenDials Of the introduction OF certain
| flowers, amid the many historical centennials
! which we have felt obliged to celebrate within
the last few years. But the chrysanthemum is
yearly growing In popularity among us,and the
Horticultural Society promise US this month the
finest show of these flowers which has ever been
seen in their hall.

STOLE HIS wIFE's AFFECTIONS.
Charge Made by Husband Who Sues
for $40. 600.


There is a lively scandal in South Acton,
Mass, in connection with the suit for $4,000
which Mr.. Arthur Hughes brings against Mr.
James Tuttle for alleged alienation Of his
wifes affection. Mr.. Tuttle is 70 years
old and Mrs. Hughes is not yet 80. In
addition to his advanced age, Mr.. futile is
handicapped by stiff knee joints, which compel
him to use orutches. But he has got a few
hundred thousand dollars in the bank and else
where, and is one of the leading men in the
town. He has a wife and two children, both
OF whom are married and have children. Until
now his character has been above reproach.
MIR. and Mrs. Hughes have lived in town about
year. She is said to have a divorced hus-
band and child by him. She has a buxom
figure, blonde hair and is stylish and attractive.
The allegations upon which the suit is based
10 that Mr.. Tutte and Mrs. Hughes were dis
covered in a compromising situation a short
time ago. The man who claims to have made
the discovery does not have the best reputation
for veracity. Mr.. Tuttle denies the allegation
and says it is q case Of blackmail. He says he
will be drawn and quartered before he gives
Hughes penny.

'1Big" Walter. who was arrested on Sunday
on . charge Of having decoyed Mrs Angelina
Conrad to New York from Brookville, Bracken
county, Ky., for the purpose Of selling her
counterfeit money, was arraigned in court
yesterday.
Mrs. Conrad was also present and told her
story As already made public. The detectives
were too hasty and spoiled the case. They
saw no money passed, and the mag
istrate said there was no law on
which the man could be held. II the
detectives made oath that Walter was notori-
ous confidence man and had no visible means
OF support, the magistrate said he would send
him to prison for six months. The detectives
declined to do and rather reluctantly
The magistrate discharged Willard, telling the
detectives that the next time they arrested him
to be sure to have case against him. Judge
Duffy then ordered the detectives to see Mrs.
Conrad on train for Kentucky.
