( The preparation of the famous nttnr , of roses, according to the Circle, seems to have boon discovered by accident. ' From India we get the tradition. Tho favorite Sultana of Sdhaughlr caused a bath of rojwvater to bo prepared for her use. Tho burning sun of India brought its might upon tho bath pro pared in tho royal garden and soon globules of oil were found floating up on tho fragrant water. Deeming tho bath impure and ut temp ling io skim 1 off the film, tho attendants broke 'the I globules, and at once the garden was filled with frasrance. The finest es sence is not gathered from tho rarest j and most costly flowers, for the fra grant oil glands are. most abundant In the petals of the free blooming, old, common kinds. , M.ichiavelli. , NIcolo Machlavelli, from whose snr namo has been coined a synonym for treacherous craft, was a writer of nervous and concise Italian.

It Was Accepted by the Lawyer, and the Battle Was Fought In Delaware. Sad Fate of tho Two Principals In tho Unfortunate Meeting. That settlement of quarrels by appeal to tho code of honor was no longer to bo the unwritten law of the American navy was determined by a duel In whicli William Miller, Jr., a Philadel phia lawj cr, was slain Inu personal affair fought along tho northern circle of Delaware. The man who 'fired tho fatal shot was Midshipman Charles G. Huutcr, and the encounter took place along Naaman's creek on the afternoon of Sunday, March 21, 1S30. Singularly enough, neither Miller, Who lost ids life, nor Hunter, who kill ed him, was principal in the original quarrel that led to the meeting 011 the bank of the little creek In Delaware. Neither had seen the other until a few hours before tho challenge was sent nnd accepted. Simply a mlsshot In a game of bil liards played at Third and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, led to the tragedy that plunged two homes Into sorrow and Imbittcred tho life of the man whose pistol shot causelessly shed hu niau blood. , Henry Wharton Griffith and R. Dil lon Drake, prominent society men of Philadelphia, played the game of bil liards, aiid Griffith made the mlsshot which called forth a taunt from Drake, who was Immediately struck In the face with a cue by Griffith. A chal lenge to n duel was sent by Drake, but Griffith declared that the challenger was beneath his notlco nnd that hi would not demean himself socially bv consenting to meet him. Then followed a long nnd wordy war faro hi which each posted tho other n a coward. Lieutenant Duryce of thp United States navy was called to mako an effort to settle the dispute, and it was then that Miller, tho lawyer, and Hunter, tho midshipman, became In volved In tho quarrel. In the heated discussion Hunter accused Miller of publishing a confidential letter, and a challenge was at once sent by the mid shipman and accepted by the attorney. It was decided that the duel should bo fought early 'on Sunday morning ot March 21, but it was nearly 10 o'clock before carriages containing the princi pals, seconds and surgeons loft a houso that stood on Chestnut street above Sixth. The presence of the company excited some suspicion at Chester, where the party stopped for lunch, but lliey hurried down the post road, tied their horses close to the highway and proceeded 200 yards behind 11 clump of trees that would shield them from ob servation. As tho sun was sotting two pistol shots rang out simultaneously as one of the seconds counted "One, two, three fire!" Hunter stood unharmed as the ball from his opponent's pistol struck at his feet, but Miller cried out that ho was shot, placed one hand on his breast and fell with a bullet lying close to his heart. In a few minute ho died, while palo and anxious face? watched tho convulsive breathing of the dying man. "Gentlemen," snid Hunter, "I had no enmity against this man. I nevei heard of him until two days ago. Let those whoso quarrel embroiled him be responsible for his death." After a hurried consultation It was decided that the midshipman should leave tho state at once, and ho was driven rapidly to New Castle, Del., where he boarded a boat for Now York and rejoined tho navy. In order to hide tho tragedy It was decided to wait until dark and take Miller to Philadel phia In a carriage. Seating the dead man between them, two seconds held him In nu upright position on the long journey to Phila delphia. News of tho duel had reached Chester, and a crowd of men stood at Third street bridge to intercept tho carriages. The first buggy contained the surgeon, ami, as his explanation was satisfactory, ho was permitted to proceed. The dead man in the second carriage was driven through tho crowd without tho ruso being detected, and at midnight the body was placed In a houso In Walnut street, where vigil was kept by tho seconds, who drank heavily to support them In tho terrible strain under which they had been placed. Miller's father sad that ho held no malice against Hunter, but the mid shipman, who was suspended for a year for punishment, was haunted by tho specter of the dead man lying on tho bank of Naaman's creek, slain by his hand, and died a prematurely old man after a lonely life, shut oft from all hopo of preferment In tlie navy. Ho was burled by tho newspaper men of Now York, who erected a tombstono over his grave. Philadelphia Ledger. Mentally. "You have been abroad, haven't you, Mr. Siilplolsh?" "No, Miss Sharp.

On Tuesday I evening at North Bend some 05 1 members of the Presbyterian church gave Rev. and Mrs. I. E.

Still Seeking Her Son. Chief of Police Carter has received a letter from Mrs. Mary Paller, of Ludlow, Kentucky, asking for tho where abouts of her son, who left San Fran cisco several months ago for Coos county, and who has not been heard from. His name is Frederick F. Paller, 28 years of ago, tall and heavy In build. He worked In a lumber camp near Coos Bay. This is tho second query from tho anxious moth er, and if any person knows of tho son's whereabouts they will confer a great favor on tho worried lady. Moon Causes Rainbow. A rather 1 unusual phenomenon was witnessed Monday morning about 5:45 o'clock ' by those who were not wrapped In the arms of Morpheus, at least tho peoplo who wero up at that hour and glanced skyward. A hugo rainbow circled from tho north to tho south of , the city, but It was without colors. Mrs. Thomas Dlmmick saw tho pho- I nomenon. She says that tho stars were shining and that tho moon was I still shining in tho west. Thero was I no sun, as It was before daylight, 1 and yet this hugo rainbow stretched across tho sky, more tho color of tho moon than anything else. This Is tho second time Mrs. Dimmick has witnessed such a sight on Coos Bay in a number of years. Celebrates In Western Home.
