THE FUTURE QUEEN.
The Princess OF Wales and Her Fifty
Wigs and Cork Heel.


PAjladelpBiG Press Correspondence.
LONDON, July cit would be ungal-
liant not to admit that the Princess of
Wales is an ornament to her sex, and her
sweetness and beauty are the themes of
every scribe whenever the royal lady is
to be seen in public. But has any one
ever observed the wife Of Albert Edward
emile? Her absolutely immobIle oOun-
tenance and her set expression are well
known, and photography reprOduces
them in perfect truthfulness. That
fair but sphinX-like face one in
time begins, naturally enough, to regard
as a mask, beneath which the real index
of the soul moves in concealment. Re-
Elections such as these are suggested by
examining the latest portraits of Alexan-
dra clothed in her Doctors rObes-doctor
of music, not of law, nor of diVinity-as
she was lately seen In Dublin. IL would
be curious to know why the Princess al
ways affects one fashion in the arrange
of her couture, but the fact is she is bald
or nearly 80. Her head was shaved dur
ing a serious illness and her hair has
since refused to grow. Consequently the
royal wardrobe includes fifty wigs, the
distinguishing features of which is
that the curls are brought well
over the forehead. Artistic dressing
serves another purpose alsO, and the
presence of "A mark Of Disagreement on
the swan-like neck is effectually con-
ceaied by the high collar. large bow, band
OF velvet, or other artiess cOnirivance in
Variably worn by the future Queen. Poor
lady, she knows her sOrrowsl IL is within
general recollection when it was the
fashion of court danes to affect the "Alex-
andrla limp" in servile imitation Of the
Princess OF Wales, whose free gait was
slightly impeded by the effects of rheu-
matte fever. A cork heel of unusual
height; added to one boot now, however,
restores, as far as possible, the ravages Of
disease.
PHELPS AND PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR
1t was very much TO be regretted that
the increasingly limited space at the dis
posal of the London press obliged editors
without exception almost wholly TO omit
their report Of the Hon. K. j. Phelps re-
marks at the banquet given by the Fish
mOngers' company 10 Prince Albert Vic
tor on the occasion of the presentation TO
him Of the honorary freedom of that
ancient corporation. Prince Albert Vic
tor was accompanied by his uncle, the
Duke Of Cambridge, "A hearty ana bluff old
fellow, but his father was absent.
In general likeness the young Prince
resembles his mother. In bearing he Is
gentlemanly, unObtrusiVe, and there 10 an
air of hauteur about him which speaks OF
his high birth. But the Prince Of Wales
has too much knowledge OF the world TO
allow his son to become snObblsh, and II
is his aim to initiate him into the mystic
ries Of all branches OF life. Having served
five years in the navy, he is now about TO
enter the army, and cOntemporaneously
commences the discharge OF those public
duties which have made his father 50 gem
orally pOpular.

Quakers aud Their Peculiarities.
From the Bdsiey BdnHer.

Mr.. Ball, a Quaker preacher from Iowa,
leotured for US last Monday night, and
told us a good deal about his peculiar sect.
The Society Of Friends was organized in
England IN the year 1850. Because OF
their peculiarly they suffered much per-
secutiOn, but at last found a home for
themselves and then society in America.
william Penn, the founder Of the State OF
Pennsylvania, introduced the society into
this country. He was great and good
man. and his memory Will live as long as
our institutions. Some Of their most
striking peculiarities are;
They have no church ordinances such
as baptism and the Lords supper.
They will not swear, but In It's place
they affirm.
They will not take up arms against
their fellow man.
Tney do not call the days Of the week
and months by their names, but by their
numbers.
They give no one any title, such as Mr.,
Professor, etc, but call the Christian
name.
They will not permit. 50 far as they can
help, their grain, fruit. ETC., 10 be made
into an intoxicating beverage.
They never go 20 law, and have but
little 90 do with politics.
The old style OF peculiar coats and broad
hats Is no longer observed by them.
We are somewhat familiar with the
sect, and must say that we admire their
honesty, purity, etc, Notwithstanding
their many eccentricitics. They are a
noble, good people.

WHAT WAS IN A KISS.
A Youths Experience With an Old
Sweetheart on a Railway Train.

n IOuInA experience Win an OlO
Sweetheart on Railway Train.
A young man Of Macon has been on a
visit to his sick bro Their, down the South
western railroad, for the past few days.
Saturday he bade him good-by and boarded
the afternoon train for Macon. AS the
train moved swiftly along the young man
sat quietly on the seat, with his elbow
resting on the window. He occupied the
time in building tall air castles. When
the train stopped at the first station his
secret thoughts were so completely in
volving him that he did not know whether
he was riding a mile and a half in a
'FMann boudoir" in Southwest Georgia or
going TO a funeral in dump-cart over the
rocky hills Of East Tennessee.
Suddenly, however, his attention was
diverted, and turning he suddenly beheld
at his side the fair face Of an old sweet
heart, whom he had not seen for years.
She had Just boarded the train at the
station. He, without thought and on
the impulse of the moment, sprang to his
feet and stopped to kiss her. There was
a smack that was reYerberant, and then,
suddenly remembering, he looked around
to see IL he hadn't been discovered.
Imagine bis surprise when be saw the
brother OF the girl just seat or two In
the rear of them. Neither knew that the
brother was aboard and were completely
paralyzed. SO TO speak, for a moment.
They occupied the same seat, however, as
the train glided along, but did not have
much to say. When the train reached
the junction at Macon the young man,
without the least ceremony, left the car
and walked TO his clearinghouse, mile
and half from the junction, instead Of
riding in on tho train. The parting, under
the peculiar circumstances, differed ma.
teriallY from the meeting.

Even the first bloom shows signs Of in
cipient decay. In fact, the life Of this
wonderful plant seems to 90 on increas-
ingly towards the top, which is about 81
feet from the ground, and cOrrespondinglY
to shrink up and decay towards the base.
Only about three blooms had shown signs
of shrinkage when we We're there; but al
fast as lower bloom begins TO decay the
one above it shows life; and when the last
one on the top shall have blOOmed, this
wonderful plant will have finished its
mission and died out entirely. This may
be expected in about rs weeks.

Georgia's Mineral Wealth.

The amount of gold bullion dug an
nually from Georgia mines has been an
unknOwable quantity. Frank Hall, of
DahlOnega, and Mr.. johnson, his cashier,
say on this subject:
''The total yield of Georgia mines is
now about $50, 900 a month or 100000 a
year of gold bullion. This is just so much
wealth created. 1t is sold in what is
called Georgia amalgam, which we send
to the minis and get government checks
for it."
"COuld the yield be doubledW
eyes. We might dig 81, 900, 900 worth
of gold bullion out of Georgia soil every
year and continue this indefinitely. There
is very rich gold vein running across
the State near Columbia county that has
been touched only in that county
and Oglethorpe. just across the
Carolina line in Lancaster county
the Halle miners are making
about $1,000 month. What Is needed in
Georgia." Mr.. Hall went on TO say, sis a
complete geological survey. In Califor-
mia the State owns the gold lands. A man
who prospects new mine, can claim IL.
This inducement keeps prOspectOrs busy.
In Georgia there is no such inducemeut,
and the mines remain idle and hidden.

Poe's Love for His Wife.


The one chapter in the life of the
author of the "Raven," where the girl
wife reigned supreme in the heart and
home, is familiar to the majority. TO
her memory his best poems were loyal
impressions and testimonials that will
never perish from literature. Much
as may be said and written in specu-
lation upon Poe, either in criticism
upon his nature or habits, the white
flower that blooms over his memory,
was hthe almost painful intensity OF
his worship of Virgiania Ciem, the
Lenore of the Raven, and AnnaDel
Lee, that
THAT neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea.
Can ever dissever my soul IRON the sui
Oh"
When she lay dying of consumption
at their little cottage in FCrdi an, and
gaunt poverty set guard over the
least enjoyment of comfort, it was the
agony of the poet that betrayed how
he suffered for his young wife's sui
ferings, that he could not supply her
with all his love and generosity
prompted and her condition needed;
shivering with cold, he wrapped his
one coat around her and petted tie
large cat she held in her arms for its
warmth. Yet Edgar Allen Poe was
noted as one of the most fascinating
men in his day among ladies, beloved
by women, courted and petted by
women; but it did not wean him from
his one love.

iZe paper dollar year expect to
receive columns of gratuitous adyer-
tising for any enterprise they may be
connected with, on the ground that it
is local affair. A case in point is
here Icited. a certain enterprise
was inaugurated a few weeks ago.
and it needed considerable advertis-
ing. A Light representative inter
viewed the manager, and he said he
could not afford to do any more than
what he then hal in the Express.
There the matter dropped, SO far
as the Light was concerned. y
week or so afterwards the man
ager called at the office. and in the
course of conversation alluded to the
fact that the Light had not treated
him right in not mentioning his en-
terprise. His attention was called to
the fact that he had said he could not
afford to advertise in the Light.
While admitting that fact he said he
still was entitled to notice and atten-
tion, because his enterprise was of a
public character. The matter was
simply that he did not believe in ad-
vertising that he had to pay for, but
he did believe in it when it would
cost him nothing. 1t no doubt is
news to say that such an enterprise has
been put under way, but when a man
pays one paper for saying that identi-
cal thing he should not expect another
paper to do so gratuitously. If the
announcement is worth anything, it
is worth paying for, and the Light
believes that advertising charity
should not be so one sided.

Commercial Enterprise in Germany.

The Export, Berlin trade journal,
states that the Central Geographical
association and the Export bank are

which is to found commercial estab-
lishments In distant countries. A ves-
sci is to be loaded with complete COL
lections of patterns and large quanti-
ties of goods, the property of various
firms, which will embark at the same
time number of their clerks and
commercial travellers, and the vessel,
a sort of floating exhibition" will
then sail for the Mediterranean, alor~
the shores of which German cSnorI
houses have not, they think, sufficient
ly close relations. Ine vessel will
first visit the ports of North Africa
and then the LeYant, coming back by
