One day little incident occurred which
proved Of great service to me. We had been

very impatient, champing the bit and toss

flecks of foam. with which my mouth was
covered.

passed and repassed, but none noticed me
otherwise than TO give me as wide berth
as possible. By and by an old lady stopped
right IN front of me. She seemed much in

sion of great pity, and exclaimed:
Look at that poor horse. His check is so

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

PARIS, April IA, 1S91.-A recent number
contained description of the plants and
flowers in New York, the greatest flower
market in the world, and it may be that
readers of The CALL will be interested in
hearing of the horticultural establishments
in Paris.
Before 1 speak Of the losses Occasioned
by the intense cold of the past winter /
must explain that the public horticultural
establishments are at La Muette, near the
Trocader Palace; herethe gardens have miles
of plat land and greenhouses. large enough
for barracks. OF azaleas alone there are
more than three hundred varieties, and this
collection, valued at 100000, is considered
the finest in the world. One greenhouse is
entirely devoted to ferns, and the orchids
would be the envy of American amateurs.

various retiring officers exhibited that the con-
