The Tory Earliest Roee. The earliest certain trace in Greek literature of the rose as a cultivated u flower is to be found in Herodotus, in his acconnt of the rise of the House of Macedonia. The sons of Temenus, he says (Bk. viii., 13S.) fled into another part of Macedonia, and took up their abode "near the Gardens of Midas. In these gardens there are roses which grow of themselves"? that i?, we suppose, without much attention to pruning or building?"so I sweet that no other can vie with them ' in this; and their blossoms have as many as sixty petals apiece." t Every rose grower will at once rec- t ognize in this the most venerable of i: all rose records, the original rosa cen- t tifedia, still, more than two thousand v years afterward, one of the sweetest h in many an old English garden?the t old Provence or Cabbage Rose. And o it is a curious illustration of Herod* t otus's accuracy in unsuspected details, c that Pliny describes the same rose as t found principally in much the same e district, in the neicrhborhood of Phil- d Ippi, the people of which, he save, get 1 it from the neighboring Mount Pan- d gaeus, and greatly improve it by trans- t plantation. In the .long history of i ro6es, the Provence or Hundred-leaved a Bo6e seems chiefly to have formed the r backbone of continuity.?Quarterly d JKeview. V A Prehistoric Burial Motin.T.

C v * ? OUT in Southwestern Montana, t about sixty miles from Bill- ^ ings and ten miles from Fort Custer, is a National ceme- ? cry. This death's acre is the site of 6 he most tragic and desperate battle j. a our military history?the battle of he Little Big Forn. Here Custer, " a c? At- r* i run tne gauani oeveum wvauj, inndred and sixty-two strong, met he Indians on June 25, 1876, and not 1< ne of those brave men was left to tell e he story; only 2G2 little white slabs n lustering about the cross that marks (1 rhere Custer fell give mute evidence 2 f the heroism and bravery 60 vainly h lisplayed at that terribly fatal battle, a ?hat the battle was fought cannot be t loubted. Custer was leading an at- s ack and had located the Indian village t n the valley of the Little Big JHom t nd was making a forced march in the S light to fall up in them before they a liscovered his j^resence. The Indians, i' lowever, discovered this plan and c rhen Custer realized this he attacked n hem for fear they might escape. The 8 tattle took place on the brow of a high c till, which commands a view of the t rhole valley of the Little Big Horn, a t was not a massacre or ambush, for s his field stands out the most conspicu- t us in the whole valley, without trees, 6 hrubs, grass or weeds to conceal an a nemy.

Other officers were grouped about the commander, and he troopers were a little farther down he hill in front, stretched out in line if battle. A half-dozen 6labs stand >ut a few rods in advance of the main ines like skirmishes. To the right of he line are two slabs bearing the tames of Boston Custer and Arthur Seed, the young brother and nephew if the General, who accompanied the xpedition and died in the ranks of he soldiers. The slab bearing the lame of Lieutenant W. W. Cook is in ront of that of Custer, and a little to he left, where a line officer could lead lis men. No man could form a more irecise line of battle than were these hree mute sentinels, glistening in the iright afternoon sun, placed, marking he place where 262 brave men folowed Custer to death. Standing by he monument and facing toward the Vest, from which direction the onushing tide of Indians came to over- 1 chelm Custer's little band of sixty- ine, to the left another quarter of a t aile is another group of marble sen- e inels. They seem to be marching j xound the 6ide of another part of the j lill and trying to reach the centre of e he battle which raged around the ? Jeneral. They are not so compact as f hose around the cross which marks rhere Custer fell. They are scattered mt in line just as men might be who rere fighting against great odds and ^ rying to gain the top of the hill, j rhere the fair-headed chief stood ( .mong his soldier?. Back in the other ravine in the east , if the hill are other groups of white aarble slabs, some standing close to :etber, like soldiers touching elbows; j ome detached and straggling along { he hillside. One of these slabs bears j he name of the gallant Captain Keogh t ind another the name of Lieutenant j Crittenden. These marbles all look to epresent a body trying to climb the j lill and rally around the Commander- j n-Chief. They may have been cut ? >ff by another tide of savagery that ;wept through the ravine and between hem and Custer. They died there, i little band of thirty eight men, to- . jether. There are few slabs scattered :ar away from the groups to indicate * :hat any tried to escape by an indi- . ndual effort. The men l'ought to- r jether, died together, and the marble labs marking their positions stand to- j r jether, as sentinels to tell the coming j j jeneration how Custer's men died, if j ^ lot how they planned and fought their | ^ last battle.

In Soap Creek Hollow, near Keokuk, lives Mrs. Lucy Alexander, 124 i years of age, and, according to the i census returns, the oldest person in ] Iowa. On Concert street resides Mrs., i Mahala Bobbins, who, tradition says, I is over 100. Both the old women are colored. Mrs. Alexander makes her home with Mrs. Lizzie Thomas, and here she sits in the sunshine and tells stories of a past age. Notwithstanding her advanced age ehe is quite well preserved and has full possession of all her fasulties. She can thread a needle without glasses?never use3 glasses, indeed, for any purpose. Her hearing is good, mind bright and active and health unimpaired. Within the past y.iar she walked across the river to Oakwood, a distance of nearly five miles. At times her memory is better than others, and she then speaks freely of old-time events, recounting the names of prominent generals of the Revolutionary War and the early Presidents. Away back before the Revolution Mrs. Alexander was born, a slave, in Winchester, Va. Her maiden name was Page, and her master's name Miller Alexander. Her master served in the Revolution, and when he returned home at its clofie she met him at the gate and carried his knapsack and accoutrements into the house. Her earliest recollection 'goes back to the home of her master in Prince Edward's County, Virginia. While livinor there General Washington stopped at her maeter's house, but whether it was during or after the Revolutionary War she cannot remember. Later the family moved to Richmond. That was then quite a small place. In 1838 her master removed to Kentucky, taking his slaves with him. After some years he died there, and the interest of the other heirs in the estate was purchased by Miller Alexander. Jr., who brought the slaves?ten in number?to Hamilton, I1L, and set them all free. This was about five years before the commencement of the Civil War. Miller Alex ander remained in Hamilton till the ] close of the war and then removed to ] St. Louis, where he now resides. He i was a model master, as was his father, ; I W jr //J|f i i f MRS. LUCY ALEXANDER. ] also. None of her family were ever j sold from the plantation, and all were | kindly treated.

Closer examination, however, proved that not only irere the lineaments those of a man, out every feature of the face was ilearly defined in a knot or gnarled portion of the board, which was a little over one-sixteenth of an incn thick, The foreman in the shop attempted to plane down one side of the aoard and bring ont the face.

Why Enro^jaus Eat Horge. Consul Tingle says that with bM# j from fifteen to twenty-five cents a pound, and other first-class meats upon a corresponding scale of prices, it is only on the rarest occasions that the averase European workman, earning seventy-five cents or SI a day, can: g furnish his family with the kind of ^ meat the American workman eats. The B German workman's task is, however,; , just as exacting as that of his trans- B atlantic contemporary. He must, if. j. ne would keep up bis bodily strength, j c hive aa much nutriment, even if it is J a coarser nature. The demand ex-, p isting, therefore, the supply has been t found. It is horseflesh. j "In Germany," the Consul reports, f "the prejudice against horse meat is a fast disappearing. The workman has j found that for seven cents a pound he s can procure a food excellent in every i particular, and as the knowledge grows, the demand for horseflesh j grows with it. But it is beginning to; be difficult to keep the supply up ta the demand. "Formerly the German butcher procured horses which were either i worn out or injured so as to be useless for working purposes for from 85 to 01 n i_ mi. i_ -1 l -j ??xv eauu. iue Buppijr ui uurteo ui this character has been well nigh ex- < hausted, however, and he must now pay from 335 to 850 for his horses. I The consequence is, that just as people have become attracted to horse meat because of its exceeding cheapness in comparison with beef, the butcher finds he must increase prices." Consul Tinge says that the meat is used in Germany salted, smoked and fresh. He suggests that shipments from America be made "on the hoof," fur in that way horses are admitted at a tariff of $4.75 a head, and doubt about the purity of the meat is avoided. He says the German butchers pay $35 a head for worn out horses, and that fresh American horses would be worth more. However, if but $30 a head was received for live American horses, he says there would be a profit in the shipment, because, allowing $4.75 for duty and $2 for transportation, it would leave $25.25 to the producer of the animal in America.?Chicago Times-Herald.

The onlr vessel of its kind in tfcfr world was built at Christianstad, in Sweden, in 1890. It conld be propelled on land by means of its own engines, and was intended for the. traffic on two lakes close to Boras, which were separated by a strip ot land. Rails were laid between the two lakes, and the steamer was to rnn ! ifoolf nnmRs trnm nne lake to the I other. When tried at the works, the | vessel fulfilled the tests very well. The engine was of ten horsepower, | and the boat conld accommodate some sixty passengers. Another original craft was the steamship Louvre, built at Nantes, in France, about three years ago. She was the first ocean vessel provided with two central propellers, which were placed underneath the middle of th6 hull, instead of at the stern. It was claimed that by this means a steamer could remain at sea during the most terrific weather without any: danger being incurred.

Sis Grandfather, Revolutionary Fol^ dler, and His Father Both Died of Paraly ?is, Yet the Third Generation is Cared?The Method. From the Herald, Boston, Mass. Hike a thunderbolt from a clear sky, a troke of paralysis came to Jlr. Frank T. Vare, the well known Boston auctioneer and ippralser, at 235 Washington street. He rent to bed one night about six years ago, eemingly in robust health. When he awoke lis left side was stiffened by the deadening if the nerves. The interviewer sought out Mr. Ware to ret the facts. He gave the interesting particulars in his own way: "The first shock came very suddenly while ! was asleep, but it wa3 not lasting it its ef? ects, and in a few weeks I was able to be ibout. A few months after, when exhausted >y work and drenched with rain, I went borne n a very nervous state. The result was a lecond and more severe shock, after which ny left arm and leg were practically helpless. "My grandfather, who was a soldier fn the v Revolutionary War. and lost an arm in the itrufjgle for American independence, died flnalltr nt nr.. .Ion ,lij nf uuwiit v* |;oicujoi?? Ukj oiiiivi ancv uiw w? paralysis, although It was complicated with other troubles, and so I had some knowledge of the fatal character of the disease which is hereditary in our family. After the second shock I took warning, for, in ail probability, a third would carry me off. "Almost everything under the sun was recommended to me and I tried all the remedies that seemed likely to do any good, electricity, massage and specialists, but to do effect. 'The only thing I found that helped me was Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills, and I verily believe that if it hadn't been for those pills i would have been dead years ago. "Yes, I still have a slight reminder of the lost attack six years ago. My left arm is not as strong as the other and my left foot drains a little, as the paralysis had the effect of deadening the nerves. But I can still walk a good distance, talk as easily as ever, and my general health is splendid. I am really over seventy years old, although I am generally taken to be twenty years younger than that. "The Pink Pills kept my blood in good condition and I believe that is why I am so well, although cheerfulness may help. "I have thought of it a great many times and I honestly believe that the Pink Pills have saved my life." Mr. Ware has every appearance of a perfectly healthy man, and arrives at his office promptly at eight o'clook every morning, although he has reached an age when many . .) retirs from active life.
