The history of the Golden Rose in the fifteenth century opens with its bestowal by Alex inder IV. on Creser Borgia. Julius III. bestowed it on the Republic of Genoa, and among others on Henry VIII. of England, who again received it from Leo, X., and again from Clement VII Julius 11. gave it to the shrine of Our Lady in the Liberian Basilica, and to Queen Mary. Paul IV. sent the Rose to the Duchess of Alva, wife of the great soldier, the famous Alva. The Lateran Basilica received it from St. Pius V. The Republic of Venice many a time received the Rose, and these golden flowers long remained in the treasury of St. Mark's Clement VIII. gave it to the Holy House of Loreto, to the Vatican Basilica, and to Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. An inscription in the portico of the Cathedral at Spoleto records the fact that the branch of golden flower was given to the church by its former Bishop, Pope Urban VIII.
Innocent XI, sent it to John Sobieski's wife, when Vienna had been delivered from the beleaguering Turks by the King of Poland. Maria, Teresa was given the Rose by Clement XII. Benedict XIV, sent one to the Queen of the Two Sicilies, blessing it, contrary to custom, on October 1st, 1740. Coming to our own country we find VII. only single rose, and that to the Empress of Asia, Charlotte Augusta of Bavaria, on her visit to Rome in 181g. Leo XII. gave a splendid massive flower to Maria Teresa, the Queen Dowager of Sardinia. Pius VIII gave one to the cathedral of Cingall, near, which he was horn. Gregory XVI. gave one to the Church of St. Mark at Venice, It was richer than any one given previously to the old Republic, and testified to the Pope's affection for the city on the sea where he had made the novitiate of his religious Hle. Finally, among the others who have received the Golden Rose in these latter years were the Queen Dowager of Sandiola, widow of Charles Albert, Isabella of Spain, Napoleon III. and the Republic of Ecuador-Tablet.
POPULAR SAYINGS,
THE ORIGIN OF MANY EXPRESSIONS THAT ARE USED DAILY.
All serene-This slang expression is derived from the Spanish word serena, which is used in Cuba as a countersign by, sentinels. It is equivalent to the English phrase All's well.
Amende honorable-This phrase now signifies a manly acknowledgment of a fault, with aD honorable retraction, apology and, if necessary, a disgraceful reparation. Formerly it was punishment for offenses against public decency or morality. Bailey describes it as a disgraceful sort of punishment where an offender is delivered up to the common hangman, who, having stripped him to his shirt and put a rope around his neck and a wax taper in his hand, leads him to the count, where he is to beg pardon of God, the King and the court.
Among the goda-This expression arose from the fact that the ceiling of Drury Lane Theater wan formerly painted in imitation of a blue sky, ard fleeting clouds, among which great numbers, of cupids were disparing themselves. As the ceiling extended over the gallery, the occupants were said to be among the gods.
Apple pie arder The most probable deriva- tion of this phrase is that which attributes it to a corruption of alpha-beta order-that a, alphabetic order.
Au fait A French phrase '&equently used by the English-speaking people. It means fully acquainted with the matter. It is equivalent to up to.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1889.
on dry fand, is used when a person pinches his finger..
Catching a Tartar-Arvine's Encyclopedia states that in a battle between the Russians and the Tarters a Russian soldier called to his Captain, saying he had caught a Tartar. "Bring him along, then," was the Captain's reply, "Ay. but he won't let me "replied the soldier, It then came out that, the Tartar had caught him. "So," says Arvine, "when a man thinks to take another in and himself gelis bit they say he's caught a Tartar,'"'
Cat's-paws-To make a cat's-paw of a person. is to employ him to do something dangerous, shameful or degrading, which you will not de yourself. The reference is to the fable of the monkey, who caught a cat, and holding her fast used one of her paws to take the chestnuts out of the fire.
Cheers, but not inebriates-Cowner used this phrase in reference in tea, but it had been previously applied by Rishop Berkeley to tar- water.
In the 217th paragraph of his work "Cyrus" the good bishopsays that tar-water" is of a nature so miki nod benign, and proportioned to the human consiliion, as to waim without heating, cheer not and to produce & calm, and steady joy, like the effect of aed wines."
Come it strong, draw it mild-These terms were originally used by the leader of a metro- politan orchestra to vialinists, when he wished them to play loud or softly,
Coming to the scratch-This was a phrase originally used by boxers. In the prize ring it was usual to make a distinct mark or scratch in the turn dividing the ring into two equal parts. To "come to the scratch" meant to walk to the boundary to meet the antagonist.
Comme il faut-No French phrase is more commonly, heard among English-speaking pes. ple. It means "as it should be." Thus we say, "She behaved with the greatest propriety; quite comme il faut,"
Comparisons are edique-This phrase la gener ally but wrongly atributed to Mrs Malaprop It was written by Shakespeare, and occurs in "Much ado about nothing" (Act 111, Scene What Mrs. Malaprop really did say (The Rivals. Act IV, Scene 2) was: "No caparisons. miss, if you please; caparisons don't become a young woman."
Cat his The foremost snil of a ship is called the the job, and its shape indicates some extent, the clash of e-me vessels herring it. At sea, particularly in war time, every vessel coming in sight is carefully scanned, and if the strange craft tasks suspicious the man on the look-out, expresses his opinion by swing he "don't like the cut of her fib.” The exp 4ssion is easily transferred hick to the personal appearance of any person to whom he may feel a dislike.
Davy Jones' locker-It is a common thing with sallors to say of a person who is dend that he is gone to "Davy Jones' lacker." Smollett,

Dead as a herring-It is a rare thing even lor fishermen to see à really live herring. The fish dies the instant it is taken out of the water.
Dixmond of the first water-There is some appropriateness in this phrase because of the resemblance to sparkling water on a dew-drop. Mr. Fox Talbot thinks, however, that the expression originated in a mistake.

sunne-blast defaceth it”
Be-line-The term bee-linela used in America in exactly the sense that the English use "as the crow fics"—that is, perfectly straight.
Between hay and grass-An expression mean- ing between boyhood and manhood,

His dress was pecu. liar, and he wore blue stockings. When he was absent be' was greatly missed, and it was common to say, "We can do nothing without the blue stockings. By degrees the name became applied to the ladies who attended, and
ing clubs. Hence literary ladies are called 4 blue-stockings in England, France and Germany.
Bogle man-The goblin with which allly nurses frighten children. There are many ways] of spelling the word, as boggart, boggard, boggle, boggle, boggy.bo, buggau, boguesh, bogy and and bogle. They all seem to have been derived from the Celile bwgan, a specter.
