PERSIAN FLOWER WORSHIP.
A Travellers Description ola Curious
Oriental Religious Rite.

A recent traveller in India gives
Cassell's Journal the following de-
scription Of flower worship as practic-
ed by the Persian, in flowing robe of
blue and on his head sheepskin hat
black, glossy, curly. the fleece OF
Kar Kal-would saunter in and stand
mediate over every flower he saw,
and always as if half in vision. And
when the vision was fulfilled and the
ideal flower he was seeking found, no
would spread his mat and sit before
it until the setting Of the sun, and
then fold up his mat again and go
home.
And the next night, and night after
night, until that particular flower
faded away, he would return to it and
bring his friends in ever increasing
troops to it, and sit and play the
guitar or lutte before it, and they
would all pray there, and after prayer
still sit before it, slipping sherbet and
talking the most hilarious and shock
ing scandal late into the moonlight,
and so on every evening until the
flower died. Sometimes, by the way
of a grand finale, the whole company
suddenly arise before the flower and
serenade it together with an ode from
HaflI and depart.

Born With a Blackberry.

A dispatch from Louisville, Ky.
says. "a certain young man OF thi:
city, who is very prominent in social
circles, and whose name is withheld,
as he is very sensitive on the subject,
has upon his neck most curious
formation. 1t is just below the band
OF his shirt collar, which he wears
high to conceal it, and is & lump OF
flesh that is an exact copy Of large
blackberry. Nothing could be a more
faithful representation Of the fruit,
the tiny globules being present, with
even the barely perceptible filaments
between, and only the color being
lacking. But the most remarkable
feature of this mark is that it is small
and flabby all the year until the sea-
son when blackberries ripen, when it
swells and grows firmer, keeping pace
in its enlargement with the ripen-
ing OF the fruit. This growth is at
tended with no pain, but occasions
an intense itching sensation. The
young gentleman has borne the mark
since his birth, but never learned OF
any parental influence that could
have caused it. He has consulted
many of the most eminent Of physi-
clans both in America and abroad
about it, but all unite in warning him
not to interfere with it, as he suffers
no real inconvenience from its pres
ence. An English physician, who
has recently been knighted, told him
that he had met with similar case
in a lady of rank, who had upon her
face large pendant piece OF flesh re-
sembling mulberry. She was
anxious to get rid Of it, deeming it a
deformity, but the doctor in question
refused to remove it, upon which she
applied to another physician, who cut
it of. But she only survived the
operation few days dying, however,
from no apparent cause.

Do not tho facts disclosed by our social
statistics cause it to appear that, in the
adjustment of our schools, we have gone
too far in our aim for material advance
ment and development Of wealth, ind
that we are correspondingly losing in
the direction Of moral growth and cul-
ture? Let us, then, initiate the prudence
of the railway engineer, and, though
seeking to retain the advantages which
are already ours, let us not be blind to
the visible defects and besetting dangers
of our present system. Lotus determine
the composition of the training of our
public schools; let us see if its parts IRE

The Fat Mems Club" at the Opera
House Last Night.

A crowded house, with standing
room only, greeted the performance
of the Fat Mems Club" at the opera
house last night.
From the flattering notices that had
been given the company elsewhere, il
was expected that the play would be
an exceedingly amusing and enter
tanning one, and the expectation was
more than realized.
In addition to the ludicrous eIper'
fences undergone by the corpulent
Prof. Baton among his fat brothers,
the performance furnishes the oppor-
tunity for the display of some exceed
ingly good special acting, including
tumbling and singing and dancing.
The show is a good one, and de-
serves patronage.
At the close of the first act Mr.. j,
E. Tennyson, manager of the Lynch
burg opera house, presented Mr.. ]. c.

In view of the fact that the charges
which have heretofore been made by
the practicing physicians of Roanoke
have been lower than the customary
charges elsewhere in cities of like size;
all of the physicians OF Roanoke
deem it proper and just that the pro-
posed schedule should prevail here in
Justice to ourselves, and no imposition
upon our patrons, especially as he
proposed charges are still below those
in many other towns Of the state. The
city Of Roanoke has become to such
an extent city Of "magniilcent Gis-
tances,n that it involves more expense
and time than formerly to attend its
inhabitants; all therefore have mutu-
ally agreed to adhere to the following
tariff of fees, and us all have subscrib-
ed their names thereto, it will be re-
garded Il breach of faith and unpro-
fessional conduct to Violate the same,
and it will be so regarded by i'll other
