Speaking of tha love of flowers by the people of Ezypt and the Holy Lend, he said: In this ancient love for flowers We see the attributes of God. Following on through the various eras of the world, and tracing the history of the Egyptians ‘who colonized Greece we find the same love for flowers. In the old May-day festivals of Eng- land, when the villagers danced around the May-pole garlands of flowers fresh culled from. the fields were nsed to decorate those who par- ticipated in the gleesome joy of the festivities and so on to the present time the same venera- tion and love for lowers inspires our nature.

TRUSTEE CasE—Snit of Quo Warranto by ex-Trustee Davis —To-day in the Court in General Term the case of the United States on the relation of B. P. Davis agt. W.J. Rhees, was ordered to be calendared for hear- ing at the present term. This is an applica- tion by petitioner for a writ of quo warraato on the respondent, commanding him to show be what richt and autho' e exercises the | office of trustee of the public schools, and it | will be remembered that when in July last th District Commissioners reorganize: the board, . Davis was oue of those appointed, and he was subsequently elected president of the board. Charges were made afterwards that Da was not an actual resident of the Dis. trict, and he was removed, and Mr. Rhees ap pointed iu his place. Davis claims that his ‘ithout authority; that he had his dities, and that the appoint- ment of Mr. Rhees was ir: Jar. Mr Sey appeirs for the petitioner, and ) idge for respondent. THE SEWERS of the District haye lately been just comment in connection | witha bad odor pervadmg the neighborhood cf Pennsylvania avenue, between lth and loth streets northwest. The stench complained of emanated from the tar composition works on B street, near 1ith, and was driven tothe jo. cality mentioned by the southwest wind then prevailing. It isan annoyance to the inhabi- tants of the southwestern part of the city whenever the works are in operation, and the wind 1s from the northwest; but while objec- tionable in some respects it is urged by the contractors, and apparently believed by the authorities, that it more than offsets this by its value as a disinfectant in this malarial season. The public is slow to accept this theory, how- ever, and would much rather see the objec- tionable works removed to a point where they — cease to be a nuisance to anybody iu any form.

William Blodgett, son of Harvey Blodgett, and who has been deranged more or less for the past ten years, and has repeatedly been confined in the Middletown ‘lum, procured a shovel, aud proceeded to the cemetery, a short distance to the south of the village, with the design of ‘*resurrecting” his brotler Milan, who was buried there five ‘Aer ago. Hedugupthe coflin and opened it, revealing the sickening sight of the horrible ‘inning skeleton. He then went to Thomas jailey’s, a short distance off, aul procured a pitcher of milk, by the application of which the “resurrection” was to be accomplished. and remained all night, bathing the skull and other bones with the fluid. He was found in the morning still occupied and talking inco- herently to his ghastly patient. The town authorities have been notified, and proper measures will be taken for his safe confine- ment.

Gazette tells this story: “At a camp meeting, when penitents were called upto be prayed for, an old reprobate ‘half-seas over, went to the altar. He was not satisfied with that, but requested the minister afterward to put up a special prayer in his be hail. He did so, and begged the Almighty to have mercy on Mr. White, as he well knew what a torn-down sinner he was: that he would get drunk and swear, and in fact break all the commandments: but as he was peni- tent, to forgive bim. The old sinner did not like to be so exposed in public, and on return- ing tohis seat met with a youns lawyer, who served to him that the p er had ruined his character, and that he ought to sue him for ‘defamation of character,’ and that he would undertake the case for half of what he recov- ered. It was carried to court and the preacher was fined $100,” 5 SHOT AND KiLLep.—A young man named Charles R. McBlair was shot and killed Tues- day at Shields’ l’oint, near Williamsburg, Va., ua a negro named Anderson Wilson, with whom he had a quarrel.
