They had been married for several
years, and had gradually risen from
poverty to affluence. One evening
Joe settled himself back in his chair
with self-satisfied air and said:
Things have changed some since we
were married, haven't they, Mary"
"A great deal, Joe, she replied
quietly. "The first year was pretty

Relics Of the Var.

Mr.. William S. Wells, of the firm
of William S. Wells & Co., has some
very interesting war relics, collected
by himself during the late war. Mr..
Wells was a naval officer on the fri
gate New Ironsidcs, and served from
November, 1862, until 1870.
Among his curiosi les is a fragment
of the frigatc's iron deck pla ing
which was torn out by tcn-inch shot
in the second iron-clad attack on
Sumter. This shot furnished good
illustration of the old saying that
Gan is fair in war;" etc. In the first
iron-clad attack on the fort. the
Keokuk was sunk. Afterwards the
Confederates obtained possession of
her ten-inch guns, and turned them
effectively against the Union feet.
One of these guns was particularly
offensive TO the frigate New lronsides,
and ripped her iron plating consider
ably. The fragment of the deck
plating referred to is two inches
thick four or five long, and about
three wide. The impression of the
shot was made in such way that its
size and kind could be calculated.
Another bit of rusty iron, smaller
than the one described, is fragment
from a gun on the deck of the frigate
Congress. 1t was clipped off by Mr..
Wells eight months after the Congress
had been wrecked by the Mcrrimac.
A relic which Mr.. Wells praises
most highly is the twisted piece of
wire which was used by the Confeder-
atcs to explode the mine under Fort
Fisher, where SO many of the Union
men were destroyed.-[Ncw Haven

The City of Flowers.

There is probably no town in tho
United States so devoted TO the hold
ing OF flower and fruit festivals as
Los Angeles, California. No sooner
is one fair over than another COM
mences and the same spirit is observ-
able in all the smaller towns. 1t is this
spirit which encourages the growth
and culture of flowers, and undoubted-
ly there are few spots where flowers
are given so much care. Every body
seems to possess garden, and the
consequence is that flowers can be
bought more cheaply i'll the shops of
the Sun Francisco florists than they
can in the Los Angeles flower-stores.
What strikes the stranger as most
singular are the floral displays in the
offices. There is not bank IN town
upon whose high desks great punches
of roses do not rest. The paying and
receiving tellers' desks, tho cashiers
desk, tho managers desk, the presi-
dents desk, in fact, nearly every desk
has bunch of exquisite roses. TSan
Francisco Chronicle.

Since the acute rivalry between the
feet ships Of the White Star and In

has been more than ordinarily careful
in carrying out his instructions. LII

Since fast ships began to reckon
their speed so carefully. this signal
officer has timed them from the mo-
ment they were exactly absam OF his

usually go past him at full speed.
What becomes OF them after that is
