The pecularities Of flowers In color
form or smell have given birtn 10 poet
faneies about them which are more
remarkable for monotony of invention
than for beauty of feeling. Asa gem
eral rule, flowers spring from tears If
they are white, from bushes or from
blood II they are red. Lilies Of the
valley are in France the Virgins tears
anemones in Bion's idyl are the tears
Of Venus for Adonis; and the helen.
ium, which, according to Pliny, was
supposed TO have sprung from the
tears Of Helen, was probably a white
flower. If we may believe Catullns
the rose is red from blushing For the
wound it inflicted on the foot of Venus
as she hastened to help Adonis. But
If Stephen Herrick is right, who Of all
our old poets deals more faneifully
with flowers. roses were originally
white, till, after being worsted in a
dispute as TO whether their whiteness
excelled that of Sappho's breast, they
blushed and first became red !"
This is very like Ovid's account of the
mulberry fruit having been originally
white, till it blushed forever after wit
Messing the tragedy enacted beneath
it of the sad suicides Of Pyramus aud
Thisbe. In German folklore the
heath owes its color to the blood of
the slain heather, apparently in recol-
lection of Cbarlemagne's method of
converting the Saxons, the two words
being connected in the same way ss
are pagus and paganus for, as in Latin
the inhabitants Of the country villages
far from the Christian culture of the
towns came to be called pagans, so in
German TIE inhabitants of the uncul-
tivated fields where the heath Tor

heather Tor heidel. Leslie Weekly.

Her Alleged Crime Was Purloining Money
From IA PocketbOOk.
A dispatch Nashville, from Tenn. -,
says: Ballie Brutchfeld, negro wo-
man, was lynched by unknown men
Friday night, the only cause being
that she was suspected ofhaving taken
the money out of pocketbook which
was lost recently by neighbor.
The pocketbook had come into pos
session of the woman's brother and a
mob undertook to lynch him several
nights ago, but he broke away and es-
capped in the darkness. Friday night
the men visited the woman, and after
tying her hands behind her, took her
to the bridge over Lick creek. Here
she was shot through the head and her
lifeless body thrown into the stream,
from which it was recovered Saturday.
The coroner returned the usual YER
dict of death at the hands of unknown
parties. The amount of money in the
pocketbook was $500

BRAVE BONI AVENGED.
In Duel Count Castellane "Plugs"
Editor ROdays Of The Figaro
in the Thigh.

A paris dispatch says: In the duel
fought Saturday between Count Boni
do Castellane and NJ. de Rodays, the
latter was wounded in the thigh.
M. do Rodays, whose wound was in
the lower neshy part Of the thigh, bled
abundantly, but he is not seriously in
iured.
The determination to exclude the
curious from witnessing the duel was
well kept. Only the witnesses and
the necessary attendants we're speota-
tors Of the meeting, so zealously was
secrecy maintained in regard to the
meeting place.
Count de Dion having measured
off twenty-five PAGES, requested M.
de Rodays and Count Boni to take
their allotted places Both principals
were dressed in black frock coats.
The usual words of warning and ex-
plantations were given, the Count de
Dion counted three and then said
Fire"
Scarcely bad the word been uttered
than NJ. de Rodays was seen to totter
and fall.
The witnesses hastened to his side,
and were obliged to carry him to one
of the dressing rooms, where the
doctor gave him immediate care.
Count Boni. after inquiring into the
character of the wound, left the spot,
accompanied by his witnesses. Shortly
afterwards M. de Rodays was taken
to his residence in a carriage.
The doctor said Nj. de Roday's
wound is not of a disquieting nature,
and that, though the bullet had not
yet been extracted, M. de Rodays will
be we'll in ten days. Count Boni was
not touched.
The duel was carried out with the
utmost correctness, and every step of
the proceedings was marked by abso-
lutte calmness aud courtesy on both
sides. which, if anything, enhanced
its dramatic effect.
