m Improbable job.
Mr.. A. M Barbee has resigned as
postmaster at Isle of Hope and the Of
flee has been abolished. Mr.. Barbee
sent in his resignation six months ago,
but the department was slow in ac-
cepting it, insisting that Mr.. Barbee
should secure someone else to take the
place. AS no one could be found who
would accept a tharkless and profitless
job Mr.. Barbee received notice a day
or two ago to turn over all his supplies
to the postmaster at the colored col
lege and consider himself relieved of
further responsibility. The abolition of

idents of Isle of Hope twice daily, de-
livering mail at the Thirty eighth

Ever since the days of that floral
abominatiOn, the green carnation, we
have known that flowers are suscepti-
bic to the influence of drugs and can
be made to change their colors by prop
er, or, rather. improper, treatment.
This branch of Horticulture has been
pursued further by inquiring people,
and it seems that plants are as liable
to the effects of pOisons as are human
beings. If you give flower too much
chlOroform, it will not agree with it.
In the words of the operator, sit droops
and dies" 1t is difficult to see what is
the advantage of this particular study
Every one knows that flowers can be
killed far too easily. If some scientif-
ic person would find a way of causing
them to bloom all the year round in
our climate, that would be something
of a discovery-less scientific, perhaps.

The Art of Brexity.


The Spartans We're distinguished for
the breVity and conciseness of their
speech. On one occasion during n ter
rible famine the inhabitants of an is
land in the -Egean sea sent an embas-
sador to Sparta, who made n speech
imploring its aid. He had hardly fin
ished before the Spartans sent him
back these words, I'VE did not under
stand the end of your speech and have
forgotten the beginning"
The poor, starving people chose an
other spokesman and impressed upon
him to make his request as brief as
possible.

The sack was filled as well as the
others, but the chief of the assembly
said as he dismissed the ambassador,
loaded with meal: 1T wasn't necessary
to inform us that the sack was empty.
We saw it ourselves. Neither was it
necessary to request us TO fill it. We
should have done it on our own &C

at was, 1 think, ut the Haymarket
that one of the most amusing of unre-
hearsed incidents occurred" says a
writer in NJ. \. Z. The play was
Romeo and Juliet Mrs. Scott Sid
dons was the Juliet of the occasion.
All went well until the final scene.
Paris was duly slain. and Juliet lay
stretched upon her bier. Just then
some of the scenery caught alight
somehow, but some men from behind
soon eXtinguished it. Juliet, with COM
mendable presence of mind, did not
move an eyelid, but the corpse of Paris
was nervous. He raised himself to a
sitting posture, then got upon his feet
and fed from the stage. The danger
being removed, his courage returned
and the audience was afforded the
pleasing spectacle of a corpse crawling
along the stage from the wings to take
up the proper position for the final cur
tain. 1t was too tremendous an anti
climax to the tragedy of the play, and
the house was simply convulsed."
