Mr.. John S. Wise, who is repeatedly
referred to as the Ex-Governor of
Virginia. Mr. Wise says:
"Such things as the cartoon are
outrageous. 1t is a revival of Know
Nothingism in its worst form. 1t is
certainly to be regretted by all right
minded people that such shameful
warfare has broken out again.

assault on foreigners and the Catho-

defeated. then and it will be defeated

The Birth of the Rose.

There are two traditions as to the
origin of the rose. According to Sir
John Vaudeville, a Jewish maid of
Bethlehem Whom Southey names
Zillah) was beloved by british sot
named Hammel. The maiden reject.
ed this sutton, and he, in revenge, ac-
cused Zillah of offenses for which she
was condemned to be burned alive.
When brought to the stake, the flames
refused to hurt Zillah, but burned
Hammel to a cinder. There she
stood in a garden of roses, for the
brands which had been kindled be-
came red roses, and those which had
not caught fire white ones.
These, according to the tradition,
were the first roses that bloomed on
earth since the loss Of paradise.
Then, according to a Mussulman ira
dition, the rose is thus accounted for:
When Mohammed took his journey
to heaven, the sweat which fell on
the earth from the prophets fore
head produced white roses, and that
which fell from the animal he rode
upon, named Al Borak, produced vel
low ones. At the present day the
sellers of roses in eastern towns cry
aloud III the streets, THE rose was a
thorn, and the sweat of the prophet
Mohammed dropping upon it formed
it into a rose. Brooklyn Eagle.

An Ambitious Woman,s Fear.

In a certain city which is neither
Hartford nor New Haven a colonial
dame sought the books Of heraldry
in the public library to learn what
she could of her ancestors Finding
three mullets on the armorial bear
ings, she became very unhappy and
returned in tears to confde to the
sympathizing librarian her fears that
her ancestors had sold fish Perhaps
her mind unconsciously resorted to
Percivals poem of The Coral Grove, ,
"where the purple mullet and the
goldfish rove" possibly to saxe's
lines:
Depend upon it, my mullish friend,
Your family thread you cannot ascend
Without finding it waxed at the further end
By some plebeian vocation.
The relief to her wounded feelings
was very great when the librarian
kindly assured her that mullets in
heraldry did not mean fish, but spur
rowels, the little wheels Of the spur
made in the sharp points.
The moral of which is evidently
that one should not be ashamed of
ones ancestors, even if they are sup
posed to have sold fish, because per-
haps they did not.-Hartford Post.

An array OF 5000, Geo men! Low
| Napoleon's legions dwindle beside
this and the hosts which Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan led shrink to pyg-
mics. This enormous figure repre-
sents the number of ablebodied men
in the United States available for
military purposes. But of course no
such swarm of fighters could ever be
modified in this or any other coun.
try.
IT would overtax even American
energy and resource to clothe and
feed and arm them and maintain
them in idleness. The figures have
no practical military value, but as a
suggestion of the mighty war poten-
tialities Of the young republic they
are not without their interest to the
world. But when we come to emu
merate the men actually under arms
in the United States as trained and
disciplined soldiers we realize our
present military significance.
Besides the little regular army Of
$4,000 men there is a more or less
thoroughly organized force of 49,

militia that is, only about one man

Ohio, 6,125. Then comes Massachu-
sets with 1866. Fiery South Caro-
lima, with 5, 440 officers and men, has
an armed force out Of all proportion
to its wealth and population.
The New England states, outside
Of Massachusetts,, have respectable
little armies, ranging from Yer
monts 704 to Connecticut's 2,761.
The southern states have large mill
tia organizations as whole; the
western states very small ones. But

completely blocked the view of a
