The Myrtle.

The myrtle has it's name from Latin
expression signifying perfume, in semi
tropical countries this plant being ex-
ceedingly popular. It is supposed by
some authorities that the name was
conferred in honor Of Myrtis, Greek
WON, n of the fifth century, before
Christ, possessing distinguished poetical
abilities It is said that Pindar received
his first lessons in poetry from Myrtis,
and it was during his attendance on her
instructions that he became acquainted
with Corinna, one of his inamoratas,
who was fellow pupil. Some of the
poems Of Myrtis were still extant in the
age of Plutarch, though none is now
known to exist.

What Russia's Occupation OF Kin
Chau Means

~ nat Huss1dps: Occupation of Kin
Chau Means.
San Francisco, Dec. 20. Eli r. Shep-
perd, who has recently returned from
China where he held an official position
under the government, commenting on
the reported occupation of Kin >Chau
by Russia, said: Kin Chau is an i'm
portant walled city mot an open port
at the head of the Gulf Of Lau Tung,
and it commands the mouth of the R1Y-
er 1aloo, where the great naval bat
tie between the Japanese and Chinese
was fought, and the other important
rivers which flow into the gulf. 1t is
about equally distant between the
mouth Of the Yaloo river and the ter
minus of the great wall Of China. 1t
commands the railway system recently
reconstructed from Tien Tsin to the
capital Of Manchuria, and is of pre-
eminent Importance as strategic po-
sition. The seizure of the port shows
that Russia has practically taken pos
session of. Corea, Manchuria and the
Gulf of Lau Tung, and possesses a.
significance which will cause conster-
nation among the diplomats of the old
world. Its situation is such that it's
possession practically places Russia in
a position to defy the world.

WOODFORD's LATEST NOTE CUE
ATEs MUCH FEELING IN SPAIN.
The Contents Have Not Yet Been
Made Public but 1T Is Known to
Have Contained No New Auera-
tion-Simp1y nm Argument in
Support of the Position Taken by
the United States in n Previous
Communication - Filibusterins
Touched On.

Washington, Dec. 90. - The officials
here are somewhat surprised at the ex-
hibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Woodford. de-
livered to the Spanish foreign office the
day before Christmas. While the note
itself will not be made public at pres
ent, it is said that there is no reason
whatever why it should be withheld,
save the fact that the pending steps
in the negotiations have not yet seen
the light in the newspapers, and it is
desirable, when publication is made,
to preserve the complete chain of
events in natural order. Possibly the
correspondence will be shortly called
for by congress, in which case it is not
likely to be withheld on the grounds
OF public policy. The last note pre-
sented by Minister Woodford was in
answer to the Spanish note called forth
by MIR. Woodfords very first.note after
his arrival at Madrid. In the initial
note the United States minister pointed
out the interest of his country in an
early termination of the present strug-
gle in Cuba, and asked when such a
conclusion could be expected. The
Spanish government, in it's reply, &C.

but suggested, after stating what it in
tended to do to ameliorate conditions
in Cuba, that the United States could
best exercise. it's good offices by STOP
ping flibustering.
The most forcible statement in Mr..
Woodford's note is based upon the
facts collected and published recently
by the treasury department, exhibiting
tie great expense to which the United
States has been put by reason of it's
efforts to patrol an enormous coast
line in the pursuit of a few ilibusters,
and the remarkable success of the
government officials in stopping these
expeditions, as contrasted with the
feeble efforts of the Spanish authori-
ties to maintain a patrol around the
Island or Cuba.

The recent death of DR.. Thomas W.
Evans, the famous American dentist,
at Paris, recalls romantic incident in
French history. When the French
cause was lost and Emperor Napoleon
III. was taken prisoner at Sedan, in
September, 1870, the position of the
Empress Eugene in Paris became one
of great peril. DR.. Evans took the
empress under his protection, furnish
ed her with a disguise, and through
friends in the army succeeded in carry
ing her through the lines, with a lady
attendant, and took her to England,
where he rented for her the house
which she still occupies at Chiselhurst.
Dr. Evans numbered most of the
crowned heads and titled personages
of Europe among his patients. The
suffering which he witnessed in camps
and hospitals in the Crimean war made
him an earnest advocate of reforms.
He came to this country during the
Civil war to help to organize the SAM
tary commission, and during the Fran
co-Prussian war he directed the work
of the Red Cross.

churches, as rule, need to be more
careful it is in this matter Of preach
er's salaries With an Indifference
and an insensibility which we cannot
understand many churches seem to
think that a contract between them
selves and their minister is no con-
tract at all. They promise him def
mite salary and then pay him whatever
is convenient. The gas man, the coal
man, and even the sexton must be
paid but the debt owing to the minister
IS looked upon as altogether righteous

Some persons find difficulty in under
standing how, since the images of OBJ
jects looked at are inverted in the eyes,
we nevertheless see the objects right
side up. Recent experiments by Doc
tor Stratton indicate that We possess an
interesting power of adjustment in this
regard. He wore inverting glasses
which reversed everything within reach
of his eyes, so that, for him, the ground
was above and the sky below, while
things on the right side were seen on
the left, and things on the left appeared
on the right. Continuously for eight
days he wore the glasses, and within
that time all his bodily movements be-
came adjusted to the new order, SO
that he could walk the streets without
