A BILL was Yesterday introduced in the
House to make tine pansy the national floral
emblem, with n motto OF "Union, Culture
and Peace" Some decision ought to he
speedily made on q question that has exer-
cised the people so long. The pansy is
pretty and ubiquitous, and the only objec-
tion to it is its inappropriate modesty. 1t is
rather TOO great a contrast to the screaming
eagle. As for the motto, there could be no
better things for the nation to strive for.

THAT proposed sale of the First Presby-
terian' Church property of which 1 made
mention yesterday seems to be a funny
blunder. 1t grew out of quite a different
piece OF business, and well it might for
the property cannot be sold. It does not be-
long to the church for any marketable pur-
poses. 1t was granted by william Penn as
was that OF Trinity and the German Church
at the corner of Sixth and Smithfeld for
church purposes only and for the benefit Of
the public. 1t is true that the First Church
sold the two corners, that on Virgin alley
where the Third National Bank is and that
on the lower corner where there is a saloon
and restaurant, but there is not likely to be
much activity in this property as the title is
not OF much value.

The fact that positive instructions

opponents to set up a claim to a part
of the delegations in such States for
other candidates. This is the case in

idea that favorite sons, such as Gray

II shall remember all this for scores
of sketches said Miss Clitheroe.
And indeed there was material. The
rocks behind threading away and mar
rowing into the dim gorge of the alley;
the rushing fountains, one with its cloud
of steam; the two great spruces; the
greensward; the thickets, and above
them far away glimpse of world, all
run to top and fiinging itself up into
heaven, a tumult of crag and pinnacle.
So much for the scenery. And for per-
sonages, there was Armstrong, with his
head turbaned, saddling the white ma
chine; the two mules, packed and TAX
ing their last nibbles of verdure; Miss
Clitheroe, in her round hat and with a
green blanket rugged as riding skirt,
mounted upon the sturdy roam; Brent
resting on my shoulder and stepping on
my knee as he climbed painfully to his
seat on the tall sorrel; Don Fulano wait
ing, proud and eager. And just as We
were starting stone fell from overhead
into the water; and looking up we saw a
big horn studying us from the crags,
wishing, no doubt, that his monster
horns were ears to comprehend our dia-
lect.
Goodby to the Luggernel springs and
Luggernel alley! to that scene of TRACE

moment since he had dashed away
and the long lines of his wake silk
rippled against the hither bank.
We heard the bullet sing. 1t missed
the man as he turned. 1t struck Fulano.
Blood spirited from great artery. He
houndered forward.
Ham caught the bushes on the bank,
pulled himself ashore, and clutched for
the bride.
Poor Fulano! He flung his head up
and paved the surface with a great
spasm. He screamed a death scream,
like that terrible cry of anguish of his
comrade martyred in the old heroic
cause in Luggernel alley. We could see
his agonized eye turn back in the socket,
sending toward US glance of farewell.
Noble horse! again savior. He
yielded and sank slowly away into that
base ditch.
We three on the bank looked at each
other forlornly. The horse, our hero,
had passed away from the scene, a
martyr.

the elusive and unattalned. When man
like Brent once voluntarily concentrates
all his soul on one woman, worthy of his
love, thenceforth he must have love for
daily food, or life burns dim and is
dying flame.
