nose Growing as an Art.

Rose growing has become alnc-t
an arC just as has the construction Of
the houses, and the dcmand Of the
very wealthy for such numbers Of
roses has made their own rosehouses
almost a necessity. That accounts FOR
the horticultural builders who have
sprung up rs specialists within the
past few years The business, TOO, has
largely become che OF specialists.
There are men who devote themselves
entirely to roses, others who make q
speciality Of carnations, others Of vio-
let, ana still others who make busl-
ness OF growing only asparagus Of the
various sorts for decorative purposes.
Few Of these specialists ever touch
any other kind OF fower. Most Of

They Gr?pple and bite in a keen, mad &c.

As they feed on the bosom Of grief.
And one steals away to a cave with his
And one to the rocks OF the reef.
With iho iroth on their lips they blow

Since loosed BY the hand of the king their

Krtraordlnary values in Jewois

It is Il mistake to suppose that the
diamond Is the most precious Of all
stones. A fine ruby OF one carat Is
worth $3.50, a sapphire $500 and 4
diamond $3.50. At $3.50 a carat the
Braganza would be worth only 1852
600, but the ratio Of Increase in value
is very great per carat as the stones
grow larger. The Prince Edward Of
York, weighing sixty and one-fourth
carats, would be worth, at $3.50 u
carat, only S9037.5O, But the pric
actually paid was S1525 a carat At
the same price the Braganza would be
worth only $2,562,O00 But with the
magnificent size Of this stone tile ratio
increases to $173,G01 carat.-New

A New Experience.
From The Evening Bulletin.

FROM the Evening Bulletin
The Advertiser makes an effort 10
create a public sympathy for a mem
.er Of its staff who went on q mission
looking for trouble and got it. From
the unbiased accounts OF the deplor-
able affair in the Republican Office last
night it appears that a representative
OF the Advertiser who had been widely
published abroad as "a football player.
a high diver, crack cyclist, 2 remark
able broad jumper and also hurdler.
etc. etc. etc" went TO the Republican
editorial rooms TO discuss matter on
which there is ample opportunity for
minds TO differ as to its being any OF
his business. The Advertiser represen-
tative displayed his prowess by strik-
ing the eQItor in the jaw without wait
ing for the editor TO place himself on
the defensive The editor. not being
accustomed to that cordial freedom
which forces a man to accept such evil
dences Of good faith in his own house
objected. The editor being a man of
small stature, not a football player,
not high diver. not a cyclist. not a
wrestler nor a hurdler. etc, etc, etc.
drew revolver and shot the repre-
sentative OF the Advertiser and the
ball entered Stevens leg just above
the left hip" wherever that may be.
The Advertiser says Mr.. Stevens
would not have complained if blow
had been met with blow" This is an
interesting after thought. Doubtless if
Mr.. Stevens had spoken about this on
his entrance to the newspaper Office in
question his request would have been
taken under consideration. The courts
will take charge of the rights and du-
ties of the two gentlemen interested
in the affair Whatever that decision
may be the young man with a record
can add to his list of accomplishments
the knowledge that man running a
bluff on two spot high sometimes en-
counters four aces.

"a The BLACK KNIGHT.

Ever since the days Of Aesop it has
been a common thing for one Of the
foulest birds 20 bedeck himself in the
pilfered plumage OF tAe peacock and
vainly stalk throughout the land as a

some vicious. cowarliy and corrupt

ichor and pus through the columns cf

He now essays TO wear the domino
which doth in fit him-of a chivalric
gallant. and in that role he rushes
wildly and madly 10 the defense of fe-

walton which he makes in his edi-
torial reference to the fate which be-
fell his bouncer IN the editorial rooms
OF this paper Wednesday night:
The cnivalry Of the South may
be quick at the trigger but il
also respects women; in this case
the noble quality was forgotten
in the desire for blood"
There are two truths which we may
confidently announce.
%. The chivalry OF. not only the
South. but Of a brave and Christian
manhood eyerywheres, was early learn
ed by the editor Of this paper and it
has never been forgotten or disre-
garded
(2l. The editor OF the Advertiser
has never been taught the lessons Of
chivalry. or any lessons. which, if re
membered. would impel him to pursue
an honorable. brave and a manly
course towards even his adversaries.

SPAT OVER ARBITRATION
PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS IN A
BRIEF TURMOIL ABOUT 1T.
Peruvian Delegate Makes a Speech
The Pan-American Bank.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2.-The session of
the Pan-American Conference took an un-
expected turn to-day. The order of the
day called for a discussion of the projects
for q Pan-American Bank and the ex-
change of official publications, but at the
opening of the session Mr.. Baez, of Para
quay, took the floor and made a speech
advocating a comprehensive scheme of
arbitration. The Chilean delegates showed
manifest indications of impatience during
the speech of Mr.. Baez. At its conclusion
Mr. Matte, of Chile, rose and said he
thought II would be better for the confer
ence to confine itself to the order of the
day instead of listening to mere academical
discussions.
Mr.. Bermejo. of Argentine when he arose
to report on the project for the Pan-Ameri-
can bank took exception to Mr. Mates
remarks. saying that the subject of ar5i-
tration was not academical but one that
vitality concerned the future peace of the
American continent. He then went on to
show the expediency Of the Pan-American
bank. The Chilean delegate then offered an
amendment to the effect that interested
governments give the proposed bank a sub
sidy Of 100000 gold per annum for five
years to start with, to be contributed ac-
cording TO population by the several coun-
tries. The project was referred back to
the committee with this amendment The
proposition for the exchange of publica-
tions also was referred back to the COM
mittee with an unimportant amendment
The session was about to adjourn when
Walker Martin, of Chile, sprang to his
feet and made a fiery speech denouncing
what he called the premature introduction
of the subject of arbitration. He said
that as the subject was still in commit
tee IL was manifestly improper 10 precipi-
tate discussion thereof by the conference
before the committee had reported 1t
happened that Walker Martinez occupies
a desk directly opposite that of Mr.. Baez
and most Of his speech seemed personally
directed at him. Mr.. Baez. however, sat
unconcerned while Mr.. Martinez thumped
his desk. The Peruvians took no part in
the debate.

DENMARK SELLS ISLES
DISPOSES OF WEST INDIAN POSSES
sIONs TO THIS COUNTRY.
United States VIII Pay Between Four
and Five Million DOIIars-Min-
lister SwensOn's Work.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. "A full agree
ment has been reached between Denmark
and the United States for the sale of the
Danish West Indies. The treaty will prob
ably be signed this week at Washington.
The price fixed is between four and five
million dollars. The question of free trade
and citizenship will be decided by Con-
gress, which, it is believed here, will grant
these concessions.
The negotiations have from the first
aroused the keenest interest throughout
Denmark. Public meetings have been held
and remonstrances have been sent to the
monstrances was signed by one hundred
Of the most prominent men in the country
The newspapers have all been against the
sale, either by silence or opposition. Pc
titions have also been received by the King
and Ministry from the inhabitants of the
island. Many large business houses and
shipping interests have offered to contrib
ute to the betterment of the islands con-
ditionS If the sale was averted. The King
and the royal family were at heart opposed
TO parting with the possessions, and lead
ing imperial and royal houses of Europe
to which the King of Denmark is related
all excited personal and political influence
against their transfer to the United States
The fact that three successive ministries
of foreign affairs, all of them opposed to
the sale, have had a hand in the negotia-
sumed. 1t is therefore considered a great
triumph for the diplomacy of the United
States and incidentally for the tact and
perseverance, of the United States minister
here, L. s. Swenson, whose high standing
at court largely contributed to the success
of the negotiations.
