The Oldest Rose Bush.

The Oldest rose. bush in tae world is
at Hidelsheim, small city in Han

the primitive stem has been dead for
a Long time, the new stems have io1nd
their way through a ccevice 10 the

church with their branches fer a height
and width of forty feet. According
to tradition this rose tree was planted
by Charlemagne in S33, aud the
church having oeen burnt dowo in
tle eleventh century, the roo: con;in-

has been published recently giving
the history OF tn.s venerable ro:e-lree,

known to be at least tucse hundred
years old, it having been mentioned
IN book published il 1878. aud in a

INDEMNITY for italians.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE State
department has struggled in vain for
months to escape the necessity for as
sumirs responsibility for the lynching
Of Italian citizens at Eahnvilie, La.,
August S, last, and in the attempt 1t
has been aided By the authorities OF
the State of louisiana with copious
repolts 10 establish tie assertion that
the Italians were killed not because
they -ere Italians, out because they
were suspected Of having committed
s murder and also that they had lost
their Italian nationality by exercising
the rights of citizenship IN Louisiana.
The Baron Fava, the Italian ambassa-
dor, on these points are regarded as
excellent manifestations OF the high
est Diplomatic stand and argument.
When Secretary Olney retired he left
the case as & legacy 10 the Incoming
administration. He had taken the
ground thar the killed were rot ltal-
ian subjects, but the Italian ambassa-
dor, by direction of MS government,
asserted its right to project the men,
and through the evidence collected
aud through the Italian consul at New
Orleans has so far established the
soundncss OF its contention that when
Secretary Sherman came 10 taGe up
the matter he was obliged 10 accept
the Italian contention as proper and
to decide to recommend al allotment
for indemnity 10 the families Of the
men, and President Mckinley viii so
recommend.

ment on the tariff, in relation 10 the cotton
growers and stirring editorial endorsement
OF the same. It is very gratifying TO NE, Of
course. TO merit the commentator of so
Staunch and consistent Democratic paper.
The Register has always stood for the stand
ards Of Democracy with unfaltering fidelity
and ability AS do not wish any misappre-
hension whatever, ask space simply for the
statement of few facts. The argument as
printed by you was prepared By me primari-
" for use in committee whenever the con-
templated amendment proposing an import
tax on raw cotton should be offered to the
cotton schedule Of the tariff bill. Cnder the
special rule regulating the discussion OF the
BILL however, the section relating TO cotton
schedules was not reached in the regular or
der Of reading, before the time fixed for tax
ing the final vote on the bill and all amend
ments thereto. There being neither time
nor opportunity for the use of the argument
in committee, and beinga matter ofSone mo-
ment, It has been printed under resolution
OF the House, adopted March 10, for the in
formation of the public. The Register, take
it. understood the situation, as did all who
followed closely the proceedings in the Rec
ord; but as many have not opportunity to in
form themselves, deem it proper that the
facts should be stated.

The Eve of the Horse.

Professor Wyman, Veterinary Sur
geon, of Clemson College, says in
purchasing a horse close scrutiny OF
the eye as to any defects is imperative.
The following points therefore may be
Of value: The calf eye or gross eye is
one where the eye ball is too promi.
nent, that is, bulges out from between
the eye lids. Animals with such an
eye are often nearsighted and as con-
sequence shy or are irresolute Ia
the small eye Or pigs eye, the eye
ball is not well developed, the eyelids
are thick and the opening batween
them is narrow. The eye as a whole
appears triangular. This eye is es-
pecially prone to diseases, periodic
ophtalmia, commonly known as
moon blindness is often seen in them.
The concealed eye is justly known as
the eye OF the vicious horse. 1t is
characterized by its smsllness and
somewhat sunken state, while
the bony arch above the eye is
excessively developed. Eyes unequal
IN size are always suspicious, SIS tney
esther have been or are very apt to be-
come diseased. The wall eye is fre
quently looked upon as bad eye, but
such is not the case. OF course i! is
as lab to disease as any other eye
but certainly not predisposed to eye
troubles. 1t is recognized b. the ab-
sence Of The natural hazel color in the
visible colored portion of the eye,
causing the eye to look pearly white.

Chinese Justice.

The Chinese are not only pecyliar in their
manners and customs Of living, their religion
! and their language, but they have laws all
their own. No other country on earth would
hang 4 bank official for the failure Of a bank,
but the head Of the officers is the pena ty in
in China, and consequently failures are not
50 common there as they are here. But the
Washington Post tells painful story con-
| cernining the serious embarrassment OF a
public official in a certain district, aud the
result Of his efforts to extricate himself will
be awaited with grea, anxiety. a few
months ago the village Of Chen -Chuang in
| the interior o; China, was raidei by bri-
gands, who broke into several houses. con-
tiscated large amount of pro perry and did
much other damage. The Taotai of that
district commanded Lo Feng Isl, a local
Mandarin, to Use his best efforts to detect
and capture the gang. which was done. The
Mandarin was then directed to execute the
leader and bring his head to the Taotai at
Lin Ching Chow rs a sort of voucher that
the work had been properly done. Lo Feng
Isl carried out his instructions, and started
for Ling Chung Chow with the head of the
| bandit IN charge of MS yayi, or orderly,
who wrapped it in cerements of cloth SO that
it might have the appearance of an ordinary
bundle, such rs the natives are accustomed
| TO carry. Arriving at village about mid
way Of MS journey, the Mandarin stopped
for rest and refreshments. Likewise the
yayi, who left his bundle in the room which
had been assigned 10 him, and started out
10 call upon some friends. But, alas, when
he returned he discovered, as may properly
ne remarked, that he had lost his head.
That is q frequent misfortune in Oriental
countries, but it is unusual to lose head
! that belongs to another person, The town
was searched every 'uspicious person was
arrested. but the unhappy Mandarin up to
the last adyces had not been able to recov-
er the precious package The Taotai, like
other Chinese magistrates, lacks the sense Of
humor, and he does not see anything funny
in these extraordinary circumstances. On
the contrary, be believes, or pretends to be-
lieve, that the Mandarin, Lo Feng Tsi, has
been guilty Of gross negligence and lack Of
respect, and should be punished with the
severest sort Of penalty. He has given him
& certain length of time to recover the miss
ing head, and if he fails to do so, he will un-
doubtedly be compelled to offer his own to
supply the vacancy.
