The Queen of Wurtemberg.

-~NN~-
 The Queen of Wurtemberg has been quiet ly lying at the Hotel Bristol for some years past. She has wealth, but no longer health, and does not appear to have had much hap piness to look Lack to. Her residences at Stuttgart are certainly not ''dog-holes," and there many intellectual people there. But if they have mental bullion, they have little small change, so that after all fairly clever woman, brought up at the Court of St. Petersburg, might pine almost to death of ennui among them. Her Wurtemberg maje sty was the most romantic as we'll as the most beautiful of the Czar Nicholas daugh- ters, and the only one of them whom he prevented making a love match. The eldest, and first to die, married 8 brother of the present Queen of Denmark. I dare say the once peerless Queen of Wurtemburg regrets that she did not 'take her head" and make a love-match. She has reigned and governed in Wurtemberg. But reigning and govern ing in a secondary German kingdom dwarfs intellect and sympathies. There is not much to do beyond enforcing the observation of rules of court etiquette, helping to review few regiments of soldiers, looking over the list of strangers who demanded presentation at court, writing long letters to i1lustrious relatives and frowning down subversive agi- tations. Queen Olga has inherited from both her father and her mother passion for ma terial order which is at once cause of fric- tion and @ source of occupation. There is a place for every thing in her palace and coun- try residences. But even with docile Ger man servants it is impossible to keep every thing in it's place. The king, in despair at ever attaining his wifes ideal, keeps in a ssden'' of his own, where he studies new mod els of artillery, smokes, reads newspapers, plays cards and receives friends of his own sex who share his amusements.

"A word to the wise, etc. O. P. Q. An Appeal for the Flower Mission. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 For the last two seasons the editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER has kindly given us space in the columns of his daily for appeals in behalf of the Flower mission. Many of those to whom these floral offerings brought pleasure now sleep with folded hands beneath the vernal turf, and this summers wealth of daisies and buttercups will beautify their graves. As the nurse Polly in one of Charles Dickens beautiful stories whispered to Flor gloom of the last resting placeG Why not think of the spring and summer blossoms that nod to the breeze each morning and each evening and also of the birds and butterflies that Hit above the mounds in Gods acre and be glad?" The simple beauty of flowers touch es all hearts and to those of us to whom flower garden has become almost necessity it should be pleasure to share these smiles of our heavenly Father with those located in less favored localities. The back yards of many houses have not sufficient sunlight and fresh air to develop perfect blooms even if the tenants had time to cultivate them Wild flowers we find are always welcome to the sick and at present the woods are full of them only waiting to be gathered. Many incidents of touching in terest we remember as connected with the distribution of hand bouquets among the invalids of our hospital. One old man as he gazed on the flower punches selected from the basket knot of variegated nasturtiums, and in homely phrase showed his great ap- preciation of these quaint blooms. Another said: ''I like to watch the bursting petals of the evening primroses." How many @ tWi- light hour of weary loneliness has been be- guiled by these vases of primroses arranged on the little stands by the bedsides. With what tender joy have the emaeiated fingers fondled each bud; and those with fad preted the fragrant breath waited from "this elder scripture, writ by Gods own hand" The silent oompanionship of these exquisite blossoms has eased many 6 heart-ache and made long days of physical suffering seem more endurable. We know from experience the comforting solace these dew-laden flowers bring, and we urge you, kind readers, to make it part of your summers creed to cull a certain number of flower punches each week for distribution among the sick, the weary and the lonely. s.

LAND FOR ENGLIsHmEN.

An interesting attempt to deal with ssthe land question" is to be made in England and the progress of the experiment. will be watched with interest in all civilized coun- tries. A company composed of nob1emen and other philanthropists has been formed for the purpose of helping men of small means to acquire little land. The scheme is to buy land at wholesale and sell it at re- tail-acquire large lots at bargain and dis pose of the property thus acquired in lots to suit customers. Large buyers will not be turned away, but their patronage is not especially solicited or wanted. What the promoters wish to do, what they have or ganized the company to do, is to sell on easy terms to a laborer who wants plot for cottage-site or garden, to the petty farmer who wants holding of dozen acres, to the retired tradesman who has the rural fever him, and to the tradesman still in business who is ambitious to become 8 landowner. The scheme includes payment by installments extending over a number of years, and the letting of land to laborers, if any prefer to begin that way, with the right of purchasing it later on.
 
 plan there --as much encouraging talk. Lord CarnarvoA the experiment could never be tried undeS fore favorable circumstances. He believed it ought to be tried, and he also believed, from small experiments of his own in the same direction, that with care and judgment they could make financial Gas well as moraD success of it. He had letter from his friend Sir R. Lloyd-Lindsay, offer ing to give to the company an estate of 400 acres, purchased within the week for e4, 900, as ''starter'' After his lordship sat down, other great landlords addressed the meeting. The Duke of Argyll said he supposed they were all Cor most of them) agreed as to the desirability of having both larger number of proprietors of the soil and larger number of petty tenant farmers in England. He expressed hope that the new company might see it's way clear to lending money to small purchasers toward the building of cottages, etc., and that these small purchasers might be induced in many cases to engage in dairy farming Gn their small way, of course,) poultry rais- ing and the like. As an expert of forty years experience, he gave it as his sincere opinion that the outlay required for good cultivation was so great no peasant proprietor could stand it without help from some such society as that. Sir W. Barttelot told his fellow landlords that the more widely they could distribute the burdens and anxieties of land ownership the better it would be for them and for all others concerned. The Marquis of Ripon said he felt deeply anybody could the importance of "bringing the pos session of land within the reach of the work ing classes to very much greater extent than it is at the present time"
 There is no doubt that if this scheme can be successfully carried out it will be benef- cial to England. Men who have even little land of their own are apt to be good citizens, and the number of landowners in England is not large.

 The report received by the Madrid ssade- my of medicine concerning the cholerss inoc ulations made by Dr. Jaime Ferran being fla vorable the new process will doubtless be extensively tried. It looks as if the time would come when cholera need not be more feared than smallpox now is.
 Those ''nice' people who feel aggrieved because Fred Douglass has secured promi- nent pew in the church which the President attends in Washington will not be very com fortsble in Heaven, where, we have reason to believe, 'society" will be much mixed. But perhaps they do not expect to go there.
 The dispute concerning the will of the late Duke of Brunswick has been amicably set tied. The Duke of Cumberland will get about $4, COG, 900, and the King of Saxony about $1,25O, 900. The Dowager Duchess of Hamilton Princess Marie of Baden) gets s25O, GOO. and the same amount falls to Prince Alexander of Hesse father of the Princes of Battenberg), to whom it will be g windfall as he has been in poor scireumstanees since the death of his sister, the late Empress of Russia who gave him a large annual. allow ance during the last twenty-five years of her life. Two members of the royal family of Bavaria get $125, ,000.
 The experts of all the South American countries last year amounted to $312, ,760, ,000, and the imports to $296, ,587, ,000 Of this trade the United States secured only one sixth, while England had one-third and France ene-fourth. We bought South Amer ican products to the amount of nearly $75,- 900 GOO, and sold in South American mar kets little over $3O, ,0OO, 900 worth of goods. Brazil alone sold us $50, 100000 worth of cof- fee, sugar, India rubber, etc., and bought of us only S, ,000, 900 worth of goods, yet Bra zil's exports and imports were nearly equal in amount. This is not as itshould be. This country ought to have a bigger share of the trade with South America.

Winston County Seconds the Noml
nation of r. C. Patty for Auditor.

EDITOR CLARION: Among the many
aspirants for State Auditor there is none
superior, in my opinion, to Mr. r. c.
known MIR. Patty intimately and well,
from his early boyhood days to the
present time, and since he became man
/ have ever found him high-toned
Christian gentleman, of undoubted
sobriety, and / am fully satisfied that he
is worthy and every way we'll qualified
for the position to which he aspires.
Mr. Patty is a man of very keen per-
eeption and quick of apprehension ;
natural characteristics, which peculiarly
fit him for the Office of State Auditor.
Should he be nominated aud elected, if
his predecessors have made any mistakes
| will guarantee Mr.. Patty win detect
them.
Winston county has ever been true to
the Democratic party, but has never
been honored with State or District
nomination. Should Mr. Patty receive
the nomination, however, for State
Auditor, Winston county will feel salts
fed, as Mr.. Patty was born and bred
here, and we claim him as q Winston
county man, though he has for several
years resided in Noxnbee county.
At the breaking out of the civil war
between the States, Mr.. Patty
was not of size and age TO come up to
the requirements of a soldier, but as soon
as he became large enough to shoulder a
musket he volunteered and enlisted in
the army and made faithful cavalry
man till the close of the war.
This is not intended as any fiattery to
Mr.. Patty, but is in the interest of the
people, who are interested in having
the very best men in all the offices fill
ed by the popular suffrage.
Respectfully. W. B. SHUaAKER.
Louisville, Miss, June 10, 1854
