FLOWERS FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Lilies and Immortelles Gathered by
Boer Women for Export.

Lilies and Immortelles Gathered by
Boer Women for Export,
| Two flowers much used in the United
| States, and, strangely enough, on wide
| ly differing occasions-of mourning and
rejoicing-come to us from South Afri-
ca, the Everlasting" an immortelle,
and the lily variously and popularity
known as the Richardta, oally lily, and
lily of the Nile, the last of whicb is a
misnomer in view of the native habitat
being South Africa. The stock is har-
vested and cured by the Boer woman
and ordinarily at this time of year she
should be doing it, but the season is
not conducive to such peaceful pursuits.
even though 1t might be suitable to
gather the flowers, which are emblems
of hope and of sorrow.
Cape flowers, as the class of immor-
telles coming from there Is called, grow
wild in South Africa. They are collect
ed when half-expanded, and the best
quality Is given special treatment in
drying and bleaching by packers.
The collectors send their stock to the
country merchants, who trade 1t off to
Cape Town commissioners or consign
it themselves to foreign buyers. The
crop is mostly engaged by European
merchants, from whom the supply for
the United States Is generally bought.
This year the war and scant crop
have conspired to send UP the prices,
and the coming year this class of i'm
mortelles will be little further from
the reach of the eastside family visited
by death than it was year ago.
The South African immortelle Is read
lily distinguishable from the French va
riety. 1t is a rich, satiny white, nearly
always left In it's natural color and Is
not so soft to the touch as the'French.
The latter are dyed in many colors,
the choicest blossoms, however, being
left as they grow. In European coun-
tries the immortelle wreaths and cross
es are used only at funerals, but in this
country the flowers, particularly the
crimson ones, are used on festive occa-
sions. There is a steady demand in this
city for the immortelle wreath among
the foreign element, particularly among
the Jews on the east side. The money
invested In cut flowers Is looked upon
as wasted, but the bouquet of immor-
telles stands storm and sunshine.
The lily bulbs imported from the
Cape produce q more beautiful blossom
even than any grown In this country,
and recently a lovely golden chalice
blossom has been developed which is
rare and valuable. In an experiment
made in the Kew gardens in London it
was found that they were a trif1e late in
but no such fault has been
found with them by florists in this
country, who are always able to have
the plants bloom in season.
Another Towering plant which Is
largely imported from South Africa is
the pinkbeled erica or African heather
which is frequently bought here as
Scotch heather.-New York Evening

The principal of the 7 per cent. bonds
outstanding was $225,000 with coupons
due the same day of $7,S75. The princi-
pal of the debt certificates. was $780,
900, coupons $144OO. Total Of principal,
$7O5,OO0. Interest, $22,275. The early
struggles of the road are well remem-
bered by all our older citizens. These
z per cent. bonds just paid represent
the advances of the city Of New Haven
to the road in paying interest. The
bonds bear the we'll known signatures
of Morris Tyler, president; Charles At
water, treasurer; VIM. Fitch, mayor,
also the signature of the comptroller
of the state of Connecticut. The per
cent. certificates We're issued under the
Bostwick- Starbuck administration and
represented the floating debt and cost
of some of the properties purchased at
the time the freight yard was enlarged
along Commerce, Lafayette and Silver
streets. When issued both of these is
sues were at discount with local
financiers and investors, but as soon as
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford road obtained control of the road
all of it's securities were in demand at
a premium. The lessor can now, of
course, borrow at much less rate of
interest, and the annual saving in in
terest will be $4,000 to $1,000.

llicted some wonderful wounds. Some of the bullets took extraordinary courses. A man was shot in the head, the bullet came out of his side, and he is doing well. An officer was shot in the left breast, the bullet came out low down in the back, and he was walking about Sunday last, and says he felt nothing wrong with him. The Boers treated our wounded well, in fact did not take them prisoners. as they said they could not be bothered with them. They took the wounded colonels, as they liked colonels, and would prefer one with title, but they rilled their pockets and went for the bread in the haversacks vita ta greed. 1 don't think they can be get ting much bread now. They also stripped our dead of all clothing, and officers brooches were highly treas ured,
 The case of Brigham II. Roberts, the Mormon representative-elect from U tah, which has occupied so much of the attention of the house since the assembling of congress, was decided on the 26th ultimo by the adoption of resolution to exclude him by vote of 27S to 50. The exact language of the resolution was as follows: That under the facts and circumstances of the case Brigham F. Roberts, repre- sentatiyc-elect from the state of Utah. ought not to have or hold seat in the house of representatives and that the seat to which he was elected is hereby declared vacant Mr. Roberts was present throughout the day, and left the hall after the result of the last vote was announced. As he did so he gave out statement iustifying his retention of his plural wives on the ground that his moral obligation was more binding upon his conscience than technical obedience to statutory law, and saying chat there was little excuse for the extraordinary efforts to crush system already abandoned and practically dead. He says he was a martyr to "spaSm of prejudice ? He would not, he said, attempt to run for congress again, although he would go back home with light heart con tident of the future.

as a working girl last week in Connecticut. She grew tired of a life of ease and determined to earn liv- ing. Her father is the Hon. Franklin Farrel, head of the Farrel Foundry and Machine company, and an owner of several copper mines in the west. She is a graduate of Ogontz. She is also an excellent whip and is often seen driving her big bay horse to a light rubber-tired runabout in the city streets and on country roads. Recently the place of private secretary to Mir. Farrel became vacant and she applied for it. She was told that it needed stenographer and typewriter, so she attended business college in New Haven, mastered shorthand quickly, and got the job. She. at tends to her business closely, being at her desk at o'clock every morning, opening the mail and asserting it, re- ceiying the answers to the letters from dictation, copying them on her type writer and sending them out. She de- clines all invitations of a social nature which interfere with her work. and is an excellent secretary.
 The resolution offered in the senate by Pettigrew, of South Dakota. on the 24th ultimn. calling upon the president for information regarding the treaty entered into with the had made an attack on the admins traitor for entering into an agreement which he claimed authorized slavery. The resolution calls upon the presi dent for tHe report of Gen. John c. Dale concerning the treaty. ItreciteS the salaries paid the sultan and his offi ,ialS and inuuireS what fund they are paid from and what service they render. Mr. Pettigrew supported the resolution in speech. He said that slavery in it's worst form exists in the Sulu group of islands, and the treaty itself provides that every slave can purchase his freedom at the regular market price. He said that the amount of the salaries paid the sultan and his officials under the treaty is s9,l2o, yet the Spanish government paid to them only sB,360. A transla- ton of the treaty he said, was with held from the people until after the Ohio election. This vas merely a part Of the policy of concealment and censuring adopted by the adminis- tratiOu.

 The songs chat passed they could

X correspondent with Buller'sarmy,
 writing under date of December 2l,
 and giving details of the battle of Co
 lenso, says: "The BOers' position was excelently planned, their trenches
 and supplements were well hidden.
 All day we were fired at by guns
 whose position we could never find,
 and we were never sure exactly where the musketry fire came from. It was the conditions of modern warfare. We had to attack an invisible enemy,
 whose position could not even be fixed
 by the smoke of his rifles. It was rifle | fire that caused our losses. Their shell
 fire, though accurate enough, was not
 deadly, and during the advance men
 did not drop until they came within
 range of the rifles. This was the
 cause, in spite of the fact that by far the greater number of the Boer shells 1 burst, and burst accurately too, some
 times right in the middle of our men. " Another writes dwells on the effect of Mauser bullet, which he says, is mo doubt a very humane one, and in
