POPULAR CONGRESSMAN.
MIR. BOWER SPORTS a BLOOD.
RED CHRYSANTHEMUM
A Correspondent Says He is Very Pop-
ular in Washington Especially
Among the Fair Sex


Among the Fair Sex.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Winston Republican, 'Joe Quin-
cy, Jr.," or better known as Capt. j,
B. Hussey, has kind word to say of
Congressman Bower. This is what he
says: 1.-THE athletic young member
from the Winston District has stead
lily grown in popularity and is promi-
nent among the most new members
of the House. On the last day of the
session tie lapel of his coat was deco
rated with blood-red chrysanthe-
mum of Watauga county cabbage
proportions. 1t is the only instance
since the gifted and cOurtlY Wadde1l
left Congress, that North Carolina
Congressman has thus bedecked him
self. The explanation offered was
that he had been to the War Depart
ment to secure the appointment OF an
army officer for the Davis Military
School a6 Winston. The flower he
carried meant, he said, war to the
knife and he wore it consr!cuOusly
and proudly with the understanding
that it had received the interpreta-
tion at the different departments.
| There is material in the burly, Indian
| looking young Wataugian for a most
| capable, efficient and influential Rep
resentative. He stands well all around
| and the girls are daft over him. 1t Is
| fortunate for his district that he ha:
| outliyed the impressionablenesss O.
| telling the simple truth to say tha1
| he is about the best equipped man il
the delegation, but there is walking
| ahead of him.

CARNArION THE FAvoRIrE
They Are the Coming Flower for the
Winter 0f'94.

From the Cinci1n ati Times-Star.I
THE carnation has finally won
first place in the favor of the fashion
able WORLD said Fourth street
florist Monday morning. During
this week there will be an unusual
number of fashionable weddings, and
at most of them the carnation will be
the only flower used The most pop
ular hue is a delicate pink, which will
be the prevailing tinge at the first
'carnation wedding of the season.
At this wedding, punches OF abnorm-
ally developed carnations will be
carried by the bridesmaids, while
single flowers viii adorn the left
lapels of the groomsmen' coats.
Bunches of carnations will adOrn the
chancel and all of the approaches to
the altar. The floral decorations at
dinners and teas this winter will be
for the most part of carnations. aud
pink will be the prevailing color
delicate pink There will be few de-
signs, the tendency being to simulate
nature as much as possible. The
flowers will not he tortured, as has
heretofore been the practice, but will
be placed in reception and dining
halls loosely arranged in vases or
bowls. The wonderful size to which
the carnation has been developed is
perhaps the most interesting point
in this new flower fad. Some of these
flowers are now produced as large as
an ordinary rose. What the end will
be there is positively no telling.
There is a growing taste for flowers
without perfume, except in sick
rooms, where the exquisite fragrance
OF the rose or violet will always be
welcome. There is a rose like the
Jacqueninot which promises to win
favor for itself during the approach
ing months. The chrysanthemum will
be in vogue to some extent this
season, but will not be as popular as
heretofore. The prevailing hue will
be yellow. Pure white will also be
popular. The carnation is undoubt-
eddy mostsuitable flower for winter
wear. The deep red variety win be
most acceptable to the eye during
the chill winter evenings"

IGNORANCE AND BLISS.
The Simple Life of the Georgia Dwenss
er on the Spurs of the clue Ridge

er on the Spurs of the Blue Ridge
From the Tnceoa News.l
The mountaineer with his covereu
wagon laden with apples and cab :
bages Is beginning to Wend his way
to our town. He and his convey
ance make a picturesque sight, but
OF this TACT he is as iguoran6 as he is
OF the ways of fashionable society.
Up among the spurs of the Blue
Ridge, where the atmosphere is pure
and bracing. where cool, clear springs
burst boldly from the craggy hill
sides and rush gleefully sea@ard, and
where nature presents. some of her
most charming phases the noun
tanner has built an unpretentious
house. Though perhaps not fully
appreciative of his surl oundings, he
loves the mountain and his hum ble
and peaceful mode of life.
An ancient philosopher has said
'"That man approaches nearest to
wants." Measured by this rule, the
mountaineer is quite a happy in
diyidual. He desires no better house
or furniture than he possesses. His
, little farm furnishes him an abund-
ance of corn for bread and for
mountain dew rye, wheat, cab
bage, etc., while chickens innumer-
abe swarm around his cabin and
rosy checked apples hang in profu-
| sion from the orchard trees. He
is not ambitious, and he pines
neither for wealth nor fame. The
old-fashioned loom and spinning
wheel are in use in his household and
furnish the cloth used by him.
He needs little money to pay
taxes, and for some other purposes
occasionally. One of the easiest
ways, frequently, for him to obtain
cash is to CONVEX some of his corn
into a liquid form. He has DO more
compuncuions of conscience in doing
this than the housewife in making
jam out of blackberries. When he
does not resort to moonshining tic
make money, at this season of the
year he loads wagon with cabbage
and apples, occasionally placing g
Jug of mountain dew or a key o
applejack underneath his produce
He bitches his slow but sure oxen tc
the wagon and starts to market
often twenty five, thirty, and ever
fifty miles distant. Time is not re
garded as money by him, aud if he il
absent from home eight or ten day!
he cares not. He carries food fol
himself and his cattle and sleeps il
the wagon, so his expense on tn,
trip is nothing. When his produo'
has been disposed of he buys SOM
salt, a little sugar, and that is abou
all. Ii his load brings him So or ST.
he considers that all clear profit.
little latter in the season he may b.
expected to return with chestnuts.
Thus for generations has livet
among the grandest scenery il
Georgia the mountaineer III thi
primitive and simple way. Perhap
it was of such as he of whom tn
poet said: "W here ignorance is bills
'twere folly to be wise" The noun
tanner is a unique character, but b
doesn't know it.

The revolution in Brazil is the main
factor in the higher price of coffee. =
About two-thirds of the amount cohsum-
ed in the United States comes from that
country. The average Brazilian crop
is about 1000 0.000 sacks. Last years
crop was about $50 10000 sacks. We
had left over from last years crop about
300 900 sacks. 1t is thus apparent that
there is a natural shortage, which of it.
self would have made an appreciable diff
ference in the quotations. But the Sc
rious phase Of the situation is the result
of the revolution. The Brazilian ports
are all closed, and although the import
ers have made the usual purchases they
are unable to ship the goods. No ship
ments have been made from Rio for
mouths. and it is only few days ago
that movements commenced from the in
terror. Prices are now several cents
higher than last year, and the prospects
are that they will 60 cent higher The
importers arc aDxiOusly watching the
revolution, and there are fears Of coffee
famine If it is not soon terminated. In
view of these facts, and the threat of the
Democrats to impose ''duty for reve-
nue. only" on coffee 1t looks as though
the era of cheap coffee has gone by.
