In giving the reasons why Mai. Jones

affections OF John Bull This ia the
reason why the mugwumps are re-.
garded in England with So much favor.
They hate Mr.. Blaine and they love

laid the foundation for his popularity
in Wales by becoming n mugwump and
proclaiming his hntred OF Mr.. Blaine
and the protection policy. IL he had
remained loyal To American IDEAS and

On the LAWYERS.

The Quitman GA Free Press has
heard two good jokes on lawyers.
One is on Judge Jim Query, of Daw-
son. A short time ago an old negro
was up before the Judge, charged
with some trivial offense.
Haven't you a lawyer, old man?'
inquired the Judge.

Don't you want me to appoint one
to defend you?"

case to the ignance OBJ de cot.
The other is on the legal fraternity
in general. An old farmer was on
his deathbed. He requested that
two lawyers from neighboring town
be sent for. When they came he
motioned them TO take seats, one on
each side Of the bed. He looked
from one to the other for few mo-
ments, and then with his last breath
exclaimed 81 die content, like my
Savior, between two thieves!"

According TO Washington correspond-
emit the President spent election cveaing In

patches, at least none OF any account He
gave up New York early in the evening.

President received from his own State

coast and was quite prepared for the an
nouncement that Nebraska had gone for
Weaver. He got no news from Wisconsin
except n few bulletins indicating no ma
torial change. The President looked the
bulletins over and discussed the compare
tive statistics In nonchalant way and left
most OF the talking to the members OF his
personal and official families Up to the
time his secre aries bade him good ight
he had learned nothing that he deemed de =
cisive. He recognized Illinois as doubtful,
and when tho returns from Chicago and
other important points In the State came in
he gave up tho election, remarking: "If
Illinois has gone Democratic that settles
it." and, requesting that no further returns
be sent to him, went to bed. Mr.. Tibbott,
his stenographer, was in the morning still
figuring upon some possible combination
which might snatch victory from defeat
but with very Indifferent success, even In
his own mind. The President arose at his
usual hour, glanced over some OF the
latest returns which had been prepared
for him, and then calmly devoted him
self to legislative business. saying nothing.
Attorney General Miller and Secretary j.

The Rose I'm Commerce.

In trade the rose is very valuable,
as the affairs of India and Persia sell
at very high price, and there are
large districts of rose gardens, in
which numbers Of men and women
are employed-the harvest months
being March and April; in Turkey,
also, rose farming is largely carried
on, and very fine altar is got from
the roses grown in Cashmere. Even
rose-water is a luxury which is by NJ
means to be deSpised rs TO price, but
the altar Of roses is immensely costly,
as it takes an enormous number OF
flowers to distil even few drops.
The altar is said to have been first
discovered by the favorite wife of
Jehan Jecr, through whose garden
ran a canal Of rOse-water, on the sur
face of which the Begun found a few
drops Of the precious altar or oil
floating.
The petals Of the tea rose, species
Of NoiSette with very fine fra
GRANGE, are used in China as flavor
ing for teas. A mild astringent
syrup is made from the petals Of the
French rose; and the hundred-leaved
rose, q variety well known to the
ancients, and originally found in the
Caucasus is also used to make rose
water and a medicinal syrup. A vim
egar made from roses is used for
headaches; conserve Of roses and
sugar is given incidentally to chill
dren, and the fruit or hip is also used
as medicinal conserve; while on the
continent dried hips are used to
flavor soups and stews, and one even
hears Of them being preserved in
sugar or made into kind of jelly.
The first cultivated rose is said to
have been planted in Britain in A. ID.
1922. The damask rose was brought
from France in 1913, the moss rose
about 1924, and the China rose some
fifty years later. Wild roses are,
however, natives of all parts Of Brit
ain. In Withering's British Bot
any" only five distinct species are
said to be indigenous; but in Hooker
and Arnott's British Flora" nineteen
species are mentioned, and some
writer's on botany raise the number
as high as twenty-four. Certainly
there are very many beautiful varie-
ties of all shades and colors and OF
exquisite sweetness to be found in all
parts of the country, which make a
glory in our summer hedgerows, and
give us the brightness OF the autumn
| dog-berry to gladden. the fading year.

The Election No Drag on the Wheels of

r. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade
says:
The Presidential election has interrupted
business TO some extent in all parts OF the
country during the past week, but by no
means as much as usual. At nearly all
points the volume of trade has been fairly
maintained, and the unprecedente activi.
ty of industries has only been interrupted
by the election holiday. The money mar
kots have not been disturbed. though work.
ing somewhat closer at several important
points, and foreign neces 'i;ies and the
scarcity OF commercial bills have caused
some decline In foreign exchange.
