The sweet per- fume of myraids cut flowers and growing -plants filling overy nook and crunny, & subtle compliment to the proprictors. At the head of the stairs in the hall leading to the dining room stood a piece of artillery, entwined with smilax and sar- rounded with rare and luxuriunt plants, In tne muzzle of the cannon a sparrow had built lier nest, while at the butt, with outstretched wings, poised a dove, snowy white, with outspread wings, emblematic of that peace and contentment which reign throughout this glorious land. The fire-place was banked with roses, the glory of dijon, the prairie, damask, banksia, blood red, car- mine, saffron, pale pink and white, all breathing their delicious odors, & very symposium of nmnature's beauty, The mantel, tos ‘was covered with clinging vines and delicate blossoms, whilo at each side, as if keeping watch and ward over Flora's wealth of charms, stood a stately palm.

From the center of the ceilling hung pendulum-like the insignia of the order, wrought deftly from cut flowers and perennials, while aguinst the bespangled west hall, or the head of the room, was the coat of arms encom- passed with tne national colors, and bearing the logend of the Royal Logion: “‘Lex Regit Arma Tuentur,”—the laws reign, the arms protect—while back of the tables, nung here and thero with careless yet artistic abandon, woere .the badges of the different corps of the army, each festooned with minatuve flags aud many hued flowers. Between these were the garlanded portrait- ures of Graunt, Sherman, Sheridan, Garfield and Harrison and other distinguished mili- tary heroes and civilians. On cach of the tables, midst a wilderness of plants, was a stack 1 of arms and flags and bunting flared from and enlightefied every available point.

Sofia Anderson appearad before Justice of the Peace Anderson last August ana swore out a complaint against Edward Wedlund, charging him with being the father of her unborn child. The writ was placed in the hands of a constuble, who was unable to find his man until yesterday, when he found him on the corner of Sixteenth and Leaven worth streets and took him before Justice Andorson, Tho complaining witness was summoned and Wedluna was made to real- izo his position. He was anxious to escape the penalty of the law and wanted to marry the girl ut once. She would notv give her consent at first, but afterwards thought bet- ter of it and said she would agree for the sake of the child, which is yet unborn. It then developed that Wedlund had not the necessary §2 with which to procare a license, and the girl went out to borrow it. In the meantime Wedlund was kept under surveillance wo ‘rrc\'flnl his escape. When the girl returned it was too late to get a license and Wedlund was locked up for safe keeping. —_—— COMMEND COLORED SOLDIERS, “They Are Neat, Orderly and Ohedi- ent and Rarely Drsort.” The following order has becn issued by Colonel Henry, calling attentionjof the Ninth cavalry to the words of praise, regarding colored soldiers, by the secretary of war.

Jay" Belleves Boston's Pet Would Soon Dispose of Peter. **Why don’t some philanthropical in- dividual or generous party of men offer $1,000,000 for Sullivan and Jackson to fight for? asks *P. Jay” in the New Y ork Press. It might as well be done, for all the good it will do. For it's pure vot for people to offer fabulous purses for John and Peter to battle forin the face of Jackson’s contract with the Cal- ifornia club. Peter must fight for that club or not at ali, at least until afterthe expirationof his contract. Peter knows that and so does Sully, and both know that no sort of temptation can bring about a battie unless with the sanction of the California club. And this is too bad for John, for he would make a soug sum very easy if Peter was to meet him for a purse of $35,000,which I belhieve isthe latest offer. For, mind what Lsay. if John L. and Jackson ever meet with Sully anywhere near right in a physical sense it will be short and sweet for John and sour for the big Australian. The records of Sullivan’s fights show that the bigger his opponents were the easier they were whipped, and as Jackson is as big as any and no better than some, it is only reasonable to suppose that he, too, will prove a soft mark. It was the small men, such as Mitchell, McCaffrey, Burke and Greenwood, who made the best showing against John L., while the big 'uns, like Ryan, Laflin, Robinson, Herald ana Slade, were easily and quickly settled. = And even the biggest of those men were quicker on their feet than Jackson, who has the typical “negro heel,” and, in the slang of the day, has “'kidneys in his ‘feet.” He is not, morcover, in my opinion, as hard a hitter as either Ryan, Lafln, Herald or Siade, or even MecCaflrey or Mitchell, and he certainly 18 not as clever as cither of the two last named. His advantage is his great height and length of reach, But Sullivan has a great way of reaching tall men with his right fist, and a greater way of breaking down the strongest guards, so that he has little to fear in that regard. The truth is that Jackson has throughout his career been pitted against men who never were entitled to, considertion as aspirants for championship honors and that he is ovcrrn'o«!"' ule s L The Smallest Book. ‘We now proceed, therefore, to de- scribe a m\mL greater—no, a much less —curio than any of those hitherto men- tioned.
