ing rather to let the hospital or the
county bear the expense. It is doubtless
the knowledge of this fact which has led
those Swedish incorporators to found a

There is bloody war between the two
tug ompanies. Heretofore the Inman
Tug company has had the monopoly of
towing lake vessels into the harbor on
their arrival. Recently the Smith Lee
company entered the field for share Of
the business. As soon as it is learned
that vessel has passed the $780," four
hundred miles down the lake, the rival
tugs will start out to meet it, and so
earnest are they that they will tow the
vessel free of charge, just for the honor
of the thing. Not long ago two of these
rival tugs engaged in fierce encounter
in presence of majestic lake steamer.
One of them, by a flank movement, cut
great holes in the side of the other with
the flanges of her propeller. The Injured
tug sank just as she reached the dock.
Her captain was so mortified that he
drank heavily of the elixir of life and
made an attack on his hated rival He
came out of the fight 80 badly damaged
that his friends scarcely recognized him.
He was then arrested for assault and was
fined fifteen dollars and costs.

A Brother of John Dillon, M. p, Who Left
the Bar for the Pulpit.
In an article written by Very Rev.
Michael Phelan FOR the Sydney Free
mans Journal on the church of st. Isa-
dore's at Rome he gives the following
description OF Rev. Thos. Dillon, brother
of the Irish patriot: As I sat in their
beautiful little church of St. Patricks
one morning before high mass, watching
scores of Irish faces hocking in, 1 heard
voice in the choir that recalled many a
stirring epoch in modern Irish struggles.
It was the voice of Father Dillon brother
to fearless. honest John, and with voice
as like his as it is possible to be-the
same decisive, clear t1mbre Of tone, the
same whole hearted earnestness as in
the voice that has SO often cheered the
hillside thousands in Ireland and mar
shalled struggling nation in the march
to freedom. Probably on the same day
that Mayo's member was speaking to
Irish hearts, now fast filling with hope.
and rushing them for the final effort, his
brothers voice was sounding the praises
of Patrick and Ireland far away amid
the spirits guarding the heroic dust of
Ireland's sons. Called to the English
and Irish Bar, and on the threshold of
brilliant career, with probably an Irish
woolsack in the distance, Tom Dillon
turned his back on all those bright pros
poets and sought the humble habit Of st.
Francis. When he spoke to me of the
noble sons the Order had given to Ire
land, and how amidst the gloom and
tears of persecution Father Luke rallied
Irish courage, the dark, luminous eyes
glowed with enthusiasm. He is man
with remarkable individuality. A tall,
willowy form, carriage slow, dignifed,
with suspicion Of languor which in
reality is the thoughtful repose Of the
student; countenance Of pale olive,

ssBEASTLY BELLCwlNGS."

Lord Macauley Describes Row i'll Parlia-
1nent in O'Connell's Time.
The following description of scene in
the House of Commons in the days Of.
O'Connell is given by Macauley the his
torian, who was an eye-witness:-
The house was engaged upon Stanley's
Irish Registration bill. The night was
very stormy. [ have never seen such un-
seemly demeanor or heard such scurri-
lous language in Parliament. Lord Nor
reys was whistliog and making all sorts
of noises. Lord Maidstone was so i'll
hammered that I hope he was drunk.
At last, after much grossly indecent Ian
guage, furious outbreak took place.
O'Connell WAS so rudely interrupted that
he used the expression "beastly below
ings" Then rose such an uproar as no
mob at Covent Garden Theatre, no crowd
Of Chartists in front of an hustings ever
equalled Men on both sides stood up,
shook their fists, and bawled at the top
of their voices. Freshfield, who was in
the char, was quite unable to keep the
smallest order. A short but most anus
ing scene passed between O'Connell and
Lord Maidstone, which in the tumult
escaped the observation OF many, but
which [ watched carefully. "1f,' said
Lord Maidstone, "the word 'beastly' is
retracted ! shall be satisfied. If not, l
shall not be satisfied" II do not care
whether the noble lord be satisfied or
no." Il wish you wou'd d give me salts
faction" II advise ths noble lord to
carry his hquor meekly." At last the
tun1ult ended with absolute physical
weariness. It was past one, and the
steady believers of the opposition hsd
been bowling from six o'clock with little
int rruption.

Wellington's Crooked Nose.

Notwithstanding his sobriquet of tho
''Iron Duke" Wellington was not with
out a sense Of humor, us the following
anecdote shows:
The Duke of Wellington was asked
whether he considered personal beauty
in man as of much use to him. He re-
piled: my looks we're once Of great use
to me-" He then related the following
story. 1t reached me- through the Dukes
brother in-law, the late Dean Pakenham.
1t was, I was told, favorite story Of the
Dukes:
After the army passed from Spain into
France and occupied the lower plains at
the northern foot OF the Pyreneee, the:
Duke directed Lord Hill to take up
position at a short distance from the
main body, across one of the many
streams in that locality. The water WIS
very 10 ~, and easily tordable at the time,
bu t during the night u very heavy rain
came on. The next day the stream was
nine or ten feet deep, and Lord Hill,
with only a few Thousand men, was in
dangerous pr ximity to Marshal Soult's
whole army.
Nothing was heard of Lord Hill dur
ing the whole day. His position evi-
dently had not been discovered by the
French. On the following morning the
Duke became anxious. He determined
to cross over himself to ascertain the
state of affairs. A small boat was pro-
cured, the Duke got into it, and remained
standing. The stream was very narrow
but deep. The boat touched the opposite
bank close to where an Irish sentry was
posted. The man challenged the party.
who could not give the countersign, on
which Pat leveled his musket to fire Ut
them. Looking along the barrel he rec
ognized the Commander-ln-C Chief just az
his Grace stepped on shore. He imme-
diately brought his musket to the salute,
and with the greatest humor called out
"God bless your crooked nose! I'd sooner
have 1t than tin thousand min"
The Duke used to fin ish his story by
.adding,"I protest that that is the great
est personal compliment ever paid me in
the whole course of my life."

rents have advanced during the last few
years. If Dublin has not grown much,

The Flowers of Kew w est.

The culture of flowers in Key West is
quite limited, and for several reasons. One
is that there are so few who take an in
terest in the matter and should they
be so inclined the m ,jority have not the
opportunity, as the factories and other
industries claim the attention of the
greater part of the population. Then
the houses are mostly small and close
to the street, giving no chance for the
cultivation of even shrub or rose tree
successfully, but many have rose
bush if nothing else. The inhabitants
thus situated are mostly Cubans and
negroes.
There are, however, many nice fam
lilies here having beautiful homes, with
pretty grounds, and here and there a
fountain to break the monotony of bar
renness and rock. FIowering shrubs in
variety and blooming plants of almost
every description are cultivated among
the few. Among them Roses in pro-

Where the angels carol sWels.

For amid their dark green bowers,
Decked by fiutt' ring pennOns stately,
Stands the temple of the flowers.

That within this leaiy shrine.
There the high-prest Nature dwelleth,
Spirit mystic and divine.
While his dewy fingers sprinkle
Ger the flow rs p perfume sweet.
We can hear each gold bell tinkle
All around his unseen feet.
Early in the morning riseth
Fragrant incense through the air.
While those bells soft peal surpriseth
Sleeping fiOw'rs with call to prayer
In the noOntide bright and golden
Still we hear the magic chime.
Like some story quaint and Olden,
Set to wOndrOus fairy rhyme.

And the nighttime shades grow deep
Then each bell in concert calleth

Rises from those perfumed bowers,

Plants that Every One Can Have.

Plants that Every One Can Have.
1t is now time to plant Gladioli bulbs
for succession. They may be planted
at intervals of two weeks from now until
the first of May. In this way one can
have blooms for long time. The florists
offer them at such reasonable prices
that all can afford them. They are the
surest blooming bulb we have in Flor
ida. The blooms are finer where there
is muck and fertilizer mixed with the
soil.
A few plants of cotton look quite pretty
in the yard We had two plants each of
long and short staple last summer, and
think they were admired rs much as
anything else in the yard.
After they commence to bloom there
is a profusiOn of blossom until frost. In
mild winters the plants sometime live
over. The long staple has a bright
canary yellow, bell-shaped blossom
staple has white flower which turns to
a beautiful pink the second day. The
bursting hollis of cotton add greatly to
the plants appearance, and are highly
appreciated by our Northern friends who
never saw Gotten growing.
The Lophospermum Scandens is a
vine that has done we'll for us.

can be raised from cuttings. 1t has

has been i'll almost constant bloom.
When the blossoms fade [ cut them off,
not allowing the plant to mature seed.
In this way the plant sends out new
blossom stalks [ have found by ex-
perimenting that this plant can be
grown very readily from cuttings. The
double variety is the best.
The Impatiens Sultani is another
valuable box plant; it can be grown
either from seed or cuttings. A friend
gave me a small plant last May, and as
soon as it recovered from transplanting
it commenced to bloom it grew rapidly
and bloorned freely and continually until
fall. By this time the branches had
grown long and ill-shaped, and cut
them back thoroughly, fortified it we'll
[ ever saw. 1t is not of much value for
cut flowers, but is certainly a fine box
plant. The flowers are carmine in color.
