BLUEFIELDs STILL CALM.

Still in Doubt.


New Orleans, June 23.-The steamship
Prof Morse has arrived from Bluefelds,
Nicaragua. Everything was quiet there
when the Morse left, and the long ex-
pected move of England had not been
made. When the Magicienne visited
Greytown, on June 5, TO bring Minister
Goslin down to Port Limon she steamed
to Kingston, Jamaica, for stores and
provisions. Before leaving Bluefelds
it was stated by the English officers that
the cruiser would remain in Kingston un-
til definite orders were received from
their home government, and when she re-
turned their position would have been de-
fnitely decided. The cruiser has now
been away two weeks and her arrival is
daily expected, but it matter of guess
work to say what will be done when she
once more anchors here.

ARGUELLo's ESCAPE.

An interview between the American
and Nicaraguan officials was held last
Monday, but as far as could be ascer-
tanned, was without result.
Lacayo was asked what he had done in
the way Of capturing the escaped MUIR
derer, Arguello, and as an answer he ex-
hibited a letter from Bocas Deltoro,
from the United States minister, ia which
it was claimed that the Spaniard had
taken refuge there. If this be true, Mica
ragua has no hopes of recovering thepris-
oner, for there is no treaty between the
two governments. Thus has come to an
end one Of the most disgraceful incidents
in the history of Nicaragua.

An interruption.

In the northeast of Scotland there lived
a worthy old minister, who was wont at
times to boast that he made the services
III his church as impressive and interest
ing to his flock as possible; but there was
one of those religious rites which he
had not been able to introduce. This was
the responding by his congregation with
Amen at several parts Of his prayers.
Plan after plan was brought up, but was
quickly dismissed. In despair he consulted
with John. the village beadle, who hit on
q rather original but very sensible plan.
Nothing could be simpler" John said.
''You will buy a pennyWorth Of peas, sir,
and every time you drop a pea on my
head I will answer 'Amenv " What the
minister thought of it is not for me to say,
but he yielded gracefully. not daring to
question Johns superior wit. Were there
no misgivings in the heart of John as he
took his accustomed seat below the pulpit
that Sunday? None The usual repose of
his calm and benignant countenance was
unruft1ed when, in the course Of prayer, a
pea struck that part of his Uranium where
the growth of hair was least, and he ut
tered solemn and feryent Amen
Scarce sixty seconds had passed ere mes
senger number two hit the mark, but
John was equal to the occasion Before
breathing space was given him three more

than that of surprise, uttered as many
'Amens." The crisis came. however,

The Child Stopped.

The Philadelphia Press finds that while
bachelors are not usually credited with
much knowledge concerning the proper
treatment of children they sometimes
step in where angels, that is, the moth
erS of the children fear to tread. A we'll
known man about the Quaker City, who
is pretty well on in years and not very
fond of children, stopped in to see a
married sister the other day and found
her trying to amuse her little boy, aged )
years. Not long after he arrived she
stepped out of the room to attend to some
household matter or other, leaving him
alone with the child. The latter eyed him
obviously for some minutes. He was a
spoiled child if ever there was one, and
had no idea of making promiscuous ac-
quaintances. The bachelor tried to make
the little one laugh but all he got for his
antics was a sour look Finally without
any warning the child burst out crying.
Here was a quandary to be sure. He
didn't dare to pick the boy up and soothe
him. His attempts in a verbal line were
dismal failures What should he do?
Finally thought struck him. He looked
at the crying youngster and the crying
youngster looked at him through his
tears He was evidently much pleased
with the impression he was making. "Cry
LOUDER said he. The child obeyed.
Louder yet" urged the bachelor. A yell
went up that would have done credit to
an Indian. Cry louder STILL" insisted
the man, and the boy did his best to obey.
''Louder! fairly howled his uncle. Il
won't" snapped the infant, and he shut
his mouth with a click and was quiet for
the rest of the day.

Looking for Sights.

There are people always looking out for
Sights. They cannot carry on the daily
intercourse Of the family without finding
that some offense is designed. They are
touchy as hair-triggers. If they meet an
acquaintance who happens to be preoccu-
pied with business they attribute his alb
straction in some mode personal to them
selves, and take umbrage accordingly.
They lay on others the fruit of their ir-
ritability Indigestion makes them see
impertinence in everyone with whom they
come in contact. Innocent persons, who
never dreamed of giving Offense, are as
tOnished to find some unhappy word or
momentary taciturnity mistaken for an
insult. To say the least. the habit is I'M
pleasant It is far wiser to take the
more charitable view of our fellow beings,
and not suppose that a slight is intended
unless the neglect is open and direct.
After all, too, life takes is hues in great
degree from the color of our own mind.
If we are frank and generous the world
treats us kindly; if, on the contrary, we
are suspicious, men learn to be cold and
cautious to US. Let person get the repu-
tatiOn of being ''touchy' and everybody
is under restraint, aud in this way the
chances of an imaginary offense are vast
ly increased.-Detroit Free Press.

Presently he recognized a pair of his

his jacket worn by a third. The fact was
that his anarchist friends, anticipating

THE AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE.
A Sharp Florist Made $4,000 Out
of

Sharp Florist Made $50, 900 Out
of 1t.
There is an interesting story about the
origin of the American beauty. 1t was
first grown in Washington, and here it
attained its renOWn. The late George
Bancroft, beside being historian and
scholar, was one Of the first amateur rose
growers in America. Every year he i'm
ported cuttings from the leading flower
growers of Europe. The King of Prussia
when old Kaiser Wilhelm was king-al-
lowed the American historian to have a
slip of whatever he might fancy in the
royal conservatory.
Mr.. Bancroft's gardener used to cult
vate some of his roses in an old house
away out on + street, above Twenty
second street, in the west end of the city.
Mrs. Grant had a florist named Field in
charge of the white house conservatory
he was a rose-grower of rare merit and
skill in his artistic work One day he
happened into the old building where Mr.
BancrOfts gardener potted his plants and
budded his roses. Over in corner he
noticed a rose of variety utterly I'M
known to him and of wonderful size and
perfection in form and color
Where did this come from" he care
lessly inquired of the rose-grOWing con-
fierce.
''Oh, it is an offshoot from some cut
tings we imported from Germany" the
man replied. 1t was evident to Mr.. Field
that the other did not in the least com
prehend the value of the new plant
After some talk Mr.. Field bought the cut
tings he had seen for So. A year there
after, when he had propagated his new
purchase and became convinced that he
had new and very valuable rose, which
he named the American Beauty, he sold
his find for $4,000 the most wonderful re-
suit of the investment of So on record.
To follow his luck a little further Mr..
Field invested his easily earned $1,000 in
land near the city, which in a little less
than three years were sold for $4,000
