Few persons who are more than a
little tord of particular varieties of
roses are aware of how recent is real
ly strong individuality in foreign va
ricties of their favorite flower,
Tho Gloire de Dijon dates from 1858.
The General Jacqueminot was offered
to the public in 1853, The Marechal
Mel (Which beautiful rose seems lately
unjustly out of vogue) was perfected in
1864. La France came in 1868. The
Nine. Isaac -Pereire is of 1880. La
Refine is almost the oldest of the hybrids
still beloved, having made its success
in 1S43.
The new and assumed varieties now
put forth annually still reach the num-
ber of 10 or so, but the majority of
them have no decisive characteristics
to enable them to hold their own against
others. The American Beauty and Cath
crime Mermet are the most signifcar
additions within fow seasons to the
general catalogue and not yet in univer-
sal favor. -Harper's Weekly.

tive. and while he heard Mr.. Eagle

said, "Sisty-five thousand pounds

to have, wouldn't it, mammal
Answered in the affirmative, he

the feet ran the gantlet of fire from
the forts below New Orleans in April,
1862, and forced the surrender of that
city. The ship he was in belonged to
Captain Bailey's division of the feet
which attacked Fort St. Philip.
The hottest fight that the Mississippi
ever engaged in was her last one, and
THIS was perhaps as hot as any of the
war. In March, 1868, the fleet tried to
run by the Confederate batteries at Port
Hudson. Some Of the ships got as far
as a narrow part of the channel, where
they met land batteries almost muzzle
to muzzle, and then they were forced
to retreat. The Mississippi did not get
as far as this. A fogsy day had been
chosen for the attempt and this was
soon made moro obscure by the smoke
of battle, and amid this the Mississippi
lost her bearings and ran ashore.
Her officers found that she had struck
Just under the guns of battery i'll the
middle of the line of Notifications and
one of the strongest Of the lot. In half
an hour $50 shots struck the vessel, and
she was rddled from end to end. There
was no chance to hold her, and her
crew took TO their boats and landed on
the opposite side CT the river after set
ting her on fire. Soon, lishtoned by the
loss OF the crow and ~ the fire, she
drifted off, and, blazing and salutinS
with bursting shells, sho orifted down
the river, until finally the fire reached
her magazines, and her career was end
cd in one great explosion.
Dewey was next attached to tho steam
gunboat Agawan of the north Atlantic
bhckading squadron and he took part
in the two attacks made on Fort Fisher
in December, 1864 and January, 1865.
In March, 1865, he got his commission
as lieutenant commander, and as such
served on the famous old Kearsargo and
on the Colorado, the flagship OF the Eu
ropean squadron, until 1868, when ne
was sent for service to the Naval acad-
emy. His first command was III lo'o'

Treatment of Stained Floors,

Stained floors should be restained al
least once year. Have the floor thor
oughly scrubbed and dried before going
over with the paint and varnish. To se-
cure the best results the stain should
be put on first and allowed to dry before
the coating of varnish is added. A mix
ture of warm water, soap and household
ammonia is the best fluid one can use
for cleaning board floors. Never use a

SISTERSvILLE.

Sistersville, w. Va, July 16.-The
district delegate convention OF the
Tyler-Wetzel district Of the Democratic
party will meet in this city on August
4, and there promises to be a lively
time. There are SO far but two can

this county, and both Of them will
make a hard fight for the nomination.
George NJ Mccoy, of this city, a rising
young attorney, is mentioned as the
candidate most favored by the people
of this section, and Gilbert D. Smith,
an attorney of Middlebourne, is the
choice Of the people in the interior OF
the county. AS it has always been the
practice of the people in the interior
of the county to run things just about
as they please, it is quite likely there
will be a pretty fight in the conven-
ton before the nomination is made.
1t is understood here on good author
ity that the Wetzel county delegation
will be instructed for Mccoy, and If
this is the case he will have walk
over. AS the matter stands at pres
ent, there is no telling who will get the
nomination.
