Princes in Custody.

The Conciergerie, where Prince Napo-
leon was confined, has twice served as a
prison for members of his family. Prince
Louis Napoleon, afterward Emperor, was
shut up there in 1910 when he was
awaiting his trial before the Chamber of
Peers for his Boulogne expedition, and
Prince Pierre Bonaparte was detained
there IN 1870 after his manslaughter of
the Journalist Victor Noir. Louis Napo-
leon, who was defended by the eloquent
Legitimist orator BerrYer, received SEN
tence of imprisonment for life,"
penalty which did not exist on the stat
ute-book, but which the Peers decreed
$50 that they might not attach the de-
grading punishment of penal servitude
(trGUGatr forceS) to the great name of
Napoleon" The Prince was at once
conveyed to the Fortress of Ham, in
Picardy, whence he escaped in 1916.
Prince Pierre Bonaparte was tried in
March, 1870, before high court, spe-
cially constituted, and sitting at Tours.
He was acquitted of willful murder, but
was sentenced to pay G1,000 damages
to the family of his victim. Touching
the arrest of Princes, it may be observed
that the police of Paris have under all
regimes had experience in this kind of
business. Some of the arrests have re-
manned memorable owing to the intense
public excitement which they caused.
In 1748 the arrest of Prince Charles Ed
ward, the younger Pretender, at the
door of the old Opera House, and by an
ordinary police official, produced a com
motion of which traces may be found in
all contemporary memoirs. Voltaire
wrote. that the Prince had suffered a
gross indignity. But perhaps the most
amusing affair of this sort was the at
tempt to arrest Duke Charles of Bruins
wick under Louis Philippe reign The
Duke, having been expelled from his
dominions in 1880, took refuge in Paris,
and began to give trouble to the French
Government by his intrigues. After the
Government had borne with him for
some time, it was resolved that he must
leave the country, and Count de Mont
alivet, the Home Minister, signed war
rant for his arrest and expulsion. But
the Duke was warned of what was COM
ing, and hired an obscure actor to take
his place, he himself retiring to the house
of a friend. The actor, who had con-
trived capital ''make-up,'i was ar
rested and conveyed to the Swiss frontier
in a post-chaise, escorted by a troop of
horse. All through the journey he was
treated with royal honors; but this so
frightened him that soon after reaching
Geneva he quietly decamped without
waiting for the remittance of his fee.
Meanwhile the real Duke had sent friends
to intercede for him with Louis Philippe,
and the King was SO much tickled at
hearing how his Minister had been out
witted that he got the order of expulsion
quashed on the Dukes promising to be
of good behavior Times.

The Fig.

The fig is a very singular fruit. Mir
bel called it ''SycownS, which means
IN Greek fig garden. In its earliest
stages it is not very unlike some other
fruits, but in its development it under
goes strange modification. In its in
cipient stated it is an aggregation of num-
berlesS flower buds, which in ordinary
course would be developed on a long
branch; but the branch in the case of the
fig, instead of developing into woody
limb bearing flowers, grows up around
the multitude of flowers enclosing them
in conical receptacle and forms a, sue
culent fruit, as we call it, inside of
woody branch. The luscious flo that we
eat is not fruit at all, strictly speaking,
but succulent branch. Every seed in
tae fig was separate, regular flower,
and the seeds are strictly the fruit. The
tlg tree bears two or three crops in a sea-
son. In the Southern States there are
generally two crops, one in May and one
in July and August. Figs are cul-
tiVated in Turkey, Greece, South
ern France, Spain, Italy and North
Africa. 1t has been cultivated
from the most ancient times in the
East, and its fruit has been highly es-
teemed and made an ordinary article of
food in Southwestern Africa. The Gull
tivation was transmitted from the East
to the Greeks and Romans, and through
them to all countries where the climate
was favorable to their growth. The figs,
when ripe, are dried in ovens, and then
closely packed in chests, baskets or boxes
for transportation. Our best figs come
from Turkey. Those coming from Kala-
mafa, in Greece, are considered the most
luscious. Italy and Spain export large
quantities. In our Southern States figs
are mostly put up simply for preserves
for family use. In this State the time is
coming when they will be an important
article of commerce. Figs yield album
dainty and require but little care The
fig contains large amount of sugar, and
may be manufactured into wine, alcohol
and vinegar. 1t is most healthy fruit
when used in perfectly ripe state, and
it is a good anti-dyspeptic and the very
best fruit for dyspeptics to eat of freely.
Nothing is more luscious than the fully
ripe fig, taken and eaten directly from
the tree. AS yet in this State otenough
importance has been attached to this
fruit; but time will correct this matter,
and before many years the production
of the fig will be greatly increased in
California. The Chronicle. .r.
