Rose Dates.

Few persons who are more than a little
fond of particular varieties of roses are
aware of how recent is a really strong in
dividuality in foreign varieties of their
favorite flower.
The ''Gloire de Dion" dates from 1858.
The General Jacqueminot' was offered
to the public in 1859. The "Marechal
Nier' (Which beautiful rose seems lately
unjustly out of vogue) was perfected in
1864. La France" came in 1868. The
Madame Isaac Pereire'' is of 1880. s'I.a
Refine" is almost the Oldest of the hybrids
still beloved, having made its success in
1913.
The new and assumed varieties now
put forth annually still reach the number
of seventy or eighty. But the majority of
them have no decisive characteristics to
enable them to hold their own against
others. The american Beauty'' and
Catherine Mermet'' are the most signfi-
cant additions within a few seasons to
the general catalogue, and not yet in uni
versal favor. [Harpers Weekly.

Bark Harvard Abandoned.

New YORK, April 13. The Clyde line
steamer New York, which arrived to- day
from Turks Island, brought Capt. Col
cord and thirteen men of the crew Of the
American bark Harvard which went
ashore March 20 on the northern reef of
Turks Island and became total loss. The
Harvard was in ballast bound from San
tos via Barbados for Turks Island to load
salt for Providence, r. |. The vessel was
very light and steered badly in the adverse
currents and owing to the light breeze
was unable to hold her course. The crew
lost their effects. The Harvard was built
at Newburyport, Mass, in 1878 and regis

"a tl1endment to the pension law
Ter reach the stage Of serious
consideration.
There is no justification for such an
expenditure Of the public funds and
complished by discussing such a propo-
sition. The fraternal sentiments arous-
ed by President McKinley's speech at
Atlanta are all right, out sentimental
theory and practical reality are en-
tirely different and not infrequnetly are
antipodal in their bearing upon ques-
tons at issue.
Instead OF healing the breach suppos-
ed to exist between the sections, the
pensioning Of ex-Confederates would
undoubtedly result in criticisms that
would reopen with ten-fold intensity
the bitter wounds which time has near
ly healed. The lapse of years and u
better understanding OF eacn other
have drawn the people of the North and
South closer together than all the
Grating and dress parade sentiment
imaginable could have done.
No real good could be accomplished
by the passage of Mr.. Buffers amend
ment, and lots Of harm might result in
consequence Of such law. Besides. it
Is by no means certain that the ex-Con-
federates themselves would appreciate
such action in their favor. Introduced
by a man who is known to be a shrewd
and shifty politician. the pension prop
osition would always bear tant Of
political chicane-y, and would be repug-
wore the gray. Most Of them came out
of the war with this important trait of
manly character intact, and the better
class OF veterans would doubtless view
with disfavor any movement that would
tend to weaken or destroy this charac-
terlstic of the Confederate survivors.
Even in the time os her direst neces-
sity the South could not have afforded
to acceps more than the strictest def
milton Of justice would nave allowed.
Under existing conditions there could
be absolutely no excuse for accepting
charitable Sop from the federal gov
eminent Both pride and common hon,
esty revolt at the idea.
In fraternity and in loyalty to a
reunited country, the South may
heartily and sincerely join hands with
the North, but when it comes to
money matters. especially those con
corning the expenditure Of public funds,
1T is neither right nor wise to accent
more than bare justice sanctions.
