King Enjoys Fires,

King Edward, from childhood, has
always shown the keenest interest in
fires and firemen. Of all the enter
tainmcnts provided for him by the
city of New York, he has most often
remembered, and says he most en-
ioyed, a parade of the volunteer fire
department in his honor. There were
5000 firemen in uniform, and all, sa We
those in charge of ropes and tillers,
bore torches. 1t was great spec
tacle, and the prince, as he rocked
at the brilliant display in Madison
square, cried repeatedly: ''This is
for me; this is all for mel" with I'M
affected glee. During many years of
his life, he used to be informed when
ever really big blaze was signaled,
and ne has. attended incognito most
OF the big fires in London during the
last 30 years.-Everybody's Magazine.

Charles Chamberlain, which had been
fitted up as a glnboat, WAS ordered
to proceed up the river in advance
of the fleet, and, after passing Pow
hatton Point, to drag the river for
torpedoes.
1.-THE tug was manned by crew
from the New York naval brigade,
under command of Lieut.. Harris, of
the navy About noon, on May 4,
when between Fort Powhatton and
Harrison's landing, we saw on the
left bank of the river and about half
a mile inland, confederate signal
station or tower, on which signal
officer was operating with his flag.
The crew were called to quarters,
and a she'll from six-inch Parrot
ri.ie was sent in the direction of the
waving flag. This exploded before
reaching it's destination, and another
shell, with longer fuse was rammed
home and fired az the plucky signal
officer.
'.This officer stood on the tower in
plain view and kept his signals going.
We knew, of course, that he was re-

When he received Harris order as to

LOSS OF BRITISH FLORISTS.
They Grew Roses by the Thousand
for the Coronation and No One
Wanted Them,

How great will be the loss Of thou
sands who had expected to reap for
tunes during the coronation ceremo-
MES in London it has been impossible
to estimate. Here is one item alone in
which the losses are practically ire
parable, says the New York Sun.
In anticipation of an enormous de-
mand for roses-the coronat ton flower
the florists of England and the
continent laid out large tracts of land
with rose bushes, planning so that the
flowers would be ready in these last
days of June.
It was estimated that the kings
subjects would wear and use for dec
orations at least 60, 100000 of red roses
alone and would be willing to pay from
two to four cents apiece for them.
This was moderate estimate. AS
coronation week approached it was
feared that the supply would not equal
the demand.
The English retail florists poured in
orders for thousands of blooms upon
the gardeners. The fortunes in pros
pect seemed to be very close at hand.
for the prices of roses went steadily
up in anticipation of scarcity.
Now it is all at an end. Instead of
great profits there will be great losses.
No one wants red roses now.
The florists who ordered and have
literally tons of flowers coming from
the continent which they will be I'M
able to use, will bear the loss in part.
But most of it will fall upon the grow
ers in whose offices the notices of can
collation. are piled high.
The larger part of the rose crop will
die upon the bushes, and the gardeners
will be out of pocket the money they
have spent on land, on plants and on
cultivation in anticipation of the prof
it's which the sudden illness of one man
has reduced to airy nothings.

Historical Omens Regarding Royalty

King Edward is said to have been
impressed by the warning of seer
that though he would become king
he would never be crowned. A Gu
rious historical coincidence is also
said to have caught his attention.
1t was that George w. died on Thurs
day, June &c, 1890, the exact day,
week and month fixed for his cor
onation, and that, furthermore,
George Tvs last days were clouded
by his inability to attend the Ascot
races, which, precisely like King Ed
ward this year, he had planned
should be marked by exceptional
state and magnifcence. A student of
English royal annals had likewise
dug up the fact that no prince of
Wales, certainly for 400 or even 500
years, had attended coronation of
a king.-N. Y. Herald.

And, buttoned over his manly breast,
Was a bright blue coat with rolling
collar,
And large gilt buttons-size of a dollar
With tails that the countryfolk called
"swaller,"
He wore a PREDETERMINED, bell-crowned
hat,
White as the locks on which 1t sat,
Never had such sight been seen
For forty years on the village green,
Since old John Burns was country beau,
And went to the ''quiltings" long ago.
Close at his elbows ali that day,
Veterans of the Peninsula,
Sunburnt and bearded, charged away;
Ard striplin gs, downy Of lip and chin
Clerks that the Home Guard mustered in
Glanced, as they passed, at the hat he
wore,
Then at the rifle his right hand bore;
And hailed him, from out their youthful
lore,
With scraps of slangy repertoire:
How are you, White Hat?': Put her
through
Called him ''Daddy''-begged he'd disclose
The name of the tailor who made his
clothes,
And what was the value he set on those:
While Burns, unminGful of jeer and scott
Stood there picking the rebels off
With his long brown rifle and bell-crown
hat,
And the swallow-tails they were laugh
ing at.
Twas but moment, for that respect
Which clothes all courage their voices
checked;
And something the widest could under
stand
Spake in the old mans strong right hand.
And his corded throat, and the lurking
frown
OF his eyebrows under his old bel-crown:
Until, as they gazed. there crept an awe
Through the ranks in whispers, and some
men saw,
In the antique vestments and long white
hair,
The Past of the Nation in-battle there:
And some of the soldiers since declare
That the CLEAN of his old white hat afar,
Like the crested plume of the brave Ma.
varre,
That day was their orifa NINE of war.
Thus ragged the battle. You know the rest:
How the rebels, beaten, and backward
pressed,
Broke at the final charge and ran.
At which John BurEs-a practical mar
Shouldere6 his rifle, unbent his brows,
AND then went back to his bees and cows.

Have you heard the story that gossips tell
Of Burns at Gettysburg?-No? All, we'll:
Brief is the glory that hero earns,
Briefer the story of poor John Burns;
He was the fellow who won renowr-
The only man who didn't back down
When the rebels rode through his native
town;
But held his own in the fight next day,
When all his townsfolk ran away.
That was in July. siXty-three-
The very DAY that Gen. Lee,
Flower of southern chivalry,
Baffied and beaten, backward reeled
From a stubborn Meade and a barren field.
! might tell how, but the day before,
John Burns stood at his cottage-6oor,
Looking down the village street,
Where, in the shade of his peaceful vine,
He heard the low Of his gathered kline,
Ard felt their breath with incense sweet;
Or, I might say, when the sunset burned
The old farm gable, he thought it turned
The milk that fell like a babbling flood
Into the milk-pail, red as blood!
Or, how he fancied the hum of bees
Were bullets buzzing among the trees.
But all such fanciful thoughts as these
Were strange to practical man like
Burns,
Who minded only his own concerns,
Troubled no more by fancies fine
Than one of his calm-eyed, long-tailed
kline
Quite old-fashioned and matter-of-fact,
Slow to argue, but quick to act.
That was the reason, as some folks say,
He fought SO we'll on that terrible day.
And it was terrible. On the right
Ragged for hours the heavy fight
Thundered the battery's double bass
Difficult music for men to face;
While on the left-where now the graves
Undulate like the living waves
That all the day unceasing swept
Up to the PITS the rebels kept
Round shot plowed the upland glades,
Sown with bullets, reapeo with blades;
Shattered fences here and there
Tossed their splinters in the air;
The very trees were stripped and bare;
The barns that once held yellow grain
Were heaped with harvests Of the slain;
The cattle beloved on the plain,
The turkeys screamed with might and
main,
And broodng barn-fowl left their rest
With strange shells bursting in each nest.
Just where the tide of battle turns.
Erect and lorely, stood old John Burns.
How Go you think the man was dressed7
He wore an ancient, long, buff vest,
Yellow as saffron-but his best;
