Gardens of the Greeks.
Among the ancient Greeks, the
idea of a garden included vegetables,
fruit trees and flowers. Toward them
there had floated from the east tradi
tions of paradise, half real, half myth
ical, created by sovereigns of great
wealth, which adorned the mountains
of Syria and Media, and were imitated
in Babylon and Egyptian Thebes, by
gardens laid out in terraces, rising one
above another to a great height, sha
ded by immense trees, and watered
by reservoirs placed at the top of the
whole structure. In oriental coun
tries, similar fictions are delighted in
still; for in the gardens of Iran, in
which the Arabs steadfastly believe,
we have the rivals of those of the
Hesperides in beauty, in fragrance
and in unsubstantiality. Among the
ancient Egyptians, however, there ex
isted real gardens, which for extent,
magnificence, and fragrance might
have vied with the fictions of poetry
We behold fragmentary representa
tions of them still, painted on the
ruined walls of the temples and sepul
chral grottoes, studded with rare flow
ers and fruit-trees, adorned with cov
ered walks, fountains, arbors, parter
res, sculpture of grotesque forms, and
seats of polished stone, where birds
of the rarest plumage nestle among
the branches of the trees, or float along
the surface of the ponds.
At various points on the banks of
the Nile, as at Siout and Er-Rasbid,
we yet find the descendants of those
ancient gardens, which the luxuriant
vegetation of spring, if left to devel
op itself unchecked, soon converts into
romantic wildernesses. In one place,
the banana throws forth its huge
leaves, fourteen or fifteen feet long,
and two or three broad, which descend
in green and rustling folds to the
ground, and are with difficulty stirred
by the lazy breeze; close to it per
haps rises the pomegranate tree, cov
ered with blood red blossoms ; and
little beyond, the graceful pyramidal
foliage of the rhamnus lotus, or the
grand masses of the sycamore, or the
columnar date-palm, or thickets of mi
mosa ; or some of those nameless
shrubs, blossoming and odoriferous,
which delight the traveler’s eye and
soot he his senses as he wanders by the
pools and sheets of water, starred with
myriads of white water-lilies, or with
the pink and blue lotuses of Egypt.
The houses of Greek gentlemen
were generally built in the form ol
the letter H. the cross-bar represent
ing the corps dc logis, as the French ex
press it; while the sides figure the
trout and back wings, the former run
ning along the breadth of a court, in
closed toward the street by a wall, the
latter projecting into the garden.—
Here the skill of the gardener began
to display itself. From wing to wing
extended parterres of flowers, such as
roses or stocks, or purple or white vi
olets, interspersed with myrtle copses,
and shaded here and there by quince or
fig trees. Many modern writers have
doubted whether, in remoter ages, the
Greeks enjoyed the queen of flowers,
though the testimony of their oldest
poets ought to be allowed to set the
question at’ rest. Homer often dis
tinctly and emphatically alludes to the
rose, to which he compares the fingers
of the Dawn while" she draws aside
the curtains of the east; and Stesi-
chorus, who flourished six hundred
years before the Christian era, spoke
of crowns of roses. Traditions also
of an early date speak of the rose-
gardens of a Thracian king, which
lay in sheltered spots at the foot of the
snowy Bernicus; and Chmremon, sur-
nained the Flower Poet, from his pas
sion for the denizens of the parterre,
who had formed the design cf celebra
ting in verse “every flower that drinks
the dew” between the Adriatic and the
iEgean, having described in splendid
lines a group of maidens sporting by
moon-light, proceeds thus:
“And slumbering near them others lay, on beds oi
sweetest flowers—
The dusky petalled violet, the rose of Paphian bow
ers,
The inula aud saffron-flower, which on their garments
cast.
And veils, such hues as deck the sky when day is
ebbing fast;
While far and near, tail marjoram bedecked the fairy
ground,
Loading with sweets the vagrant winds that frolicked
all around.”
Traveling Dresses.—For midsum
mer joumeyings, a dress which separ
ates at the waist, thereby permitting
linen blouses, is on every account most
desirable. For cooler wear, one of
the new redingote polonaises of gray
de baize, with a black skirt, is the
most serviceable suit. The redingote
is a very long garment, fitting the
figure behind and being double-breast
ed and loose, or half-fitting in front,
as choice or necessity dictates. It is
closed in front by a double row of large j
buttons—moulds covered with the !
material of silk—and has large square 1
pockets, square cuffs and coat collar
either of the same, black silk or silk
the color of the polonaise. A plain
two-inch hem edges it, and it is looped
behind and left open half way down
the front. It covers the skirt so much
that an old one will answer excellent
ly, thereby saving a good one for a
more important occasion. Linen dust
ers are not only convenient but neces
sary to comfort in a journey of more
than a few hours. They are made
either with a skirt and half-fitting
sacque, which can be slipped over the
dress—we think this the more conve
nient form—or in a loose gown-like
garment, covering the dress to within
a few inches of the bottom, and pro
vided with sleeves that draw round
the hand with an elastic. Buff linen
collars and cuffs are used especially
for car-wear, and do not show soil so
soon as white; but for long trips we
recommend paper cuffs and collars,
which are now made in pretty shapes
for ladies, and can be so readily renew
ed that the wearer need never look
otherwise than fresh and neat.—Scrib-

Chicago in a Stew—Prices Down to
Ante-Bellum Figures.
Chicago, June 21.—During the
last week a number of bins of No. 2
corn, amounting in the aggregate to
ibout 115,000 bushels, in two of the
elevators here, have been posted on
Change, as is required in such cases,
as out of condition. The natural ef
fect on the corn market has been to
create an unsettled feeling, and to de
press prices, and yesterday No. 2 corn
.sold at 27c per bushel, cash, which is
..he lowest point touched in this mar-
ist for twelve years. There has been
considerable feeling aroused among
operators in corn, and charges have
been made on Change and in the city
press that the corn posted as beating
was fraudulently posted for the benefit
of certain parties and to the detriment
of the trade.
A resolution was introduced on
Change to-day, which under the rules
lies over till Monday, providing for
the appointment of a committee to in
vestigate these charges, and if they
find that there is good grounds for
them, instructing the attorney of the
board to ascertain if there are grounds
for legal proceedings against the par
ties making the postings.
Judicial Decision Against Tight
Shoes.^
The several millions of tortured and
corn-afflicted people in this country
should read this paragraph and forever
after bear the name of Humphreys in
grateful recollection. Humphreys is
a judge at the city of Washington, in
the District of Columbia. Before him
came as party plaintiff a shoemaker,
and asked judgment against a man for
whom he made a pair of shoes. Came
also the defendant and made answer
that the said shoes did not fit. As to
the issue which was joined on the
averment of the defendant, the shoes
were the best witnesses, and they
were brought into court and placed
upon the feet of the defendant. That
they would go on is a fact that would
seem to have militated somewhat
against the theory of the defense; but
the defendant swore that, being on,
theshoes made existence insufferable.
Then it was that Humphreys uttered
the great principle that should make
his name immortal He said, in sub
stance, that tight shoes were a torture
that no freeman should be required to
endure, and that when a shoemaker
fails to consult the comfort of his
patron, the latter is under no obliga
tion to pay for the work. Judgment
for the defendant. And yet the Presi
dent hesitates as to who should be
made Chief Justice !
Reorganizing his Wife.—“I never
attempted to reorganize my wife but
once,” confessed Artemus Ward. “I
shall never attempt to do it again. I’d
been to a public dinner, and had al
lowed myself to be betrayed into
drinkin’ several people’s health; and
wishing to make ’em as robust as pos
sible, 1 continued drinkin’ their health
until my own was affected.—Conse-
kence I presented myself to Betsy’s
bedchamber late at night with consid
erable liquor concealed about my per
son. I had somehow got possession
of a boss-whip on my way home, and
rememberin’ some craky observation
of Mrs. Ward’s in the mornin’, I snap
ped the whip putty lively and in a very
loud voice I said : “Betsy, you need
reorganizin’;” I continued, crackin’
the whip over the bed, ‘I have come
to reorganize you.’ I dreamed that nite
somebody had laid a hoss-whip across
me several times—and when I woke
up I found she had. I haint drank
much of anything since, and if I ever
have another reorganizing job on hand,
I shall let it out.”

The appointment of Mr. Bingham
to the Japan mission does not fill the
administration journals of Ohio with
admiration. On the contrary, there is
a vigorous display of indignation on
the part of most of them. The Tole
do Blade says : “ The Republican par
ty doesn’t want any Credit Mobilier
or back pay plastered upon it, in
any way, shape or manner. The ap
pointment of Mr. Bingham, after the
action of the Republican State Con
vention, might better have been inde
finitely postponed.” And the Akron
Btacon follows in the same strain:
The Republicans will not thank
Grant for this appointment. Next to
Butler himself, Bingham is especially
responsible for all the iniquity of the
salary grab, and this is not the time to
reward his unfaithfulness with pro
motion.”
