of increasing the corporation debt to the tune
of 100000 for street improvement purposes.

We have yet time to put another ticket in the

not ready to assume burden Of $500, 600 at

In Memoriam.


when hearts whose Truth is proven
Like thine are laid in earth,
There should wreath be woven
To .ell the world their WORTH
Fo'pone can these lines apply with stronger
emphasis than to the late Miss HARR1Er c
Taylor. Gentle, intelligent, refined, the
light of her home, and beloved by all yhc
knew her, her loss is most deeply felt and
sadly mourned by those amongst whom her
life was passed. Distinguished alike by a
sound clear judgment, heart overlooking
with tenderness and sparkling wit, whose
sunny brightness hid no sting of bitterness,
it was pleasure to know her, an inestimable
privilege to call her friend; and now that in
the full confidence of the Christians hope and
faith, she has passed from earth TO heaven,
we feel that the world is poorer for her loss,
while heaven has gained one angel more.
FDeeatsi, ere thou hast slain another,
Fair and wise, aud Eood.as she,
Time shall throw his dart ae thee
a FRIEND.

The GOLDEN RosE.-The Pope will
send the Golden Rose of Virtue this
year to Marie Henrietta, Queen OF the
Belgians.
Queen Marie Henrietta is the second
daughter of the late Archduke Joseph
Palatine of Hungary and the Princess OF
Wurtemburg. She was born and rear.
ed at Buda Pesth, and spent most OF
her time in the open air, being special
w fond of horses, dogs and flowers. She
was a great admirer of the Magyar pa
triots who rebelled against tyranny the
of Metternich and Schwartzenberg, and
il was rumored that she burned candles
in the schloss chapel for the escape OF
Kossuth and Andrassy when they were
being tracked toward Belgrade. Never
fond of pomp or ostentation, she be-
came still more averse to them upon
the death of her son, the Prince Royal
of Belgium, in 1870. Since then she
has seldom occupied the State box nj
the theatre except when gala perform
ances were given in honor of her
daughters marriages, and in every
other way has shown her desire to re-
tire from public life and confine her,
self to her domestic duties.
The Golden Rose is an ornament
blessed by the Pope on the fourth
Sunday in Lent every year and sem
occasionally to Catholic sovereigns, tt
noted churches and sanctuaries and tc
great generals and illustrious Catholic
cities or republics. 1t was originally
single flower of wrought gold, colorec
red. Later the golden petals were
decked with rubies and other gems
and finally the form adopted was tina
of a thorny branch with several flowers
at the top, all of pure gold. The prac
tice appears to have arisen in the thir
teenth century, but by which Pope \
was instituted in its present form il
uncertain. Among the recipients o
the Golden Rose were Napoleon III
and Isabella IL. of Spain.
