How a Great Legacy Was Paid.
Nam Varly Would

Thore is some misunderstanding be-
tween the family of the late General
Grant and DR.. Douglas. In his will Gen
eral Grant left his physician legacy of
$4,000. When DR.. Douglass rendered his
bill of $4,000 it was paid, and the family
held that the legacy was to be used in
liquidating the claim, which was done.
DR.. Douglas said last Sunday to a reporter
who asked him if Col. Fred Grants views
of the matter we're correct: Il wish to say
nothing on the subject. l will leave it
entirely with the Grant family. If Col
onel Grant is satisfied to make that state
ment am satisfied. My regard for the
General is so great that l can brook any
thing for his sake"

SPANS Little King.
BabybOOd.

According to Spanish medical journal
DR.. Sanchez Ocana, the physician to whom
is entrusted the honorable and respon-
sible duty of attending the infant king
of Spain, interviewed no less than twenty
seven women for the purpose of choos-
ing a wet nurse for his youthful majesty.
The Lancet, the leading medical paper of
London, says:
st seems to have been decided before
the birth took place that the royal moth
err was not to be allowed the natural priv
ilege which is properly so priced by most
mothers of lower degree would that we
could say so of all. But, where royalty
sets the fashion, what wonder Is it that
others, with no public or extra domestic
duties whatever to attend to, and so en-
tirely without excuse, hasten to depute
the mothers duty to a stranger: This in
FAINT king, by the way, enjoys the rare dis
tinction of having been born a monarch.
There is no other like instance in the his
tory of Spain.

Horticulture ON the Farm.
Farm. Field ami Stockman.

One of the greatest drawbacks to the
farmer is his desire to avoid as much la
Dor as POSSIBLE. In q certain sense this
is proper, but when farmer places his
labor where it produces the most, instead
of growing some crops because they are
more easily attended to, he will find him
self gradually becoming richer. If
small area can be made to yield as large
profit as larger space, the farmer should
avail himself of such opportunities. We
read of gardener near Baltimore, who
sold crop of gooseberries, in full bear
ing, on thirteen acres, for $500 an acre.
This was more than could have been Sc
cured from ten crops of corn or wheat,
and ten times as much labor could have
also been bestowed, yet the crop saved
zine years time as compared with one CT
grain.
We know of a strawberry grower whose
crop cost him % cents quart, yet he sold
them at 30 cents quart when other grow
ers were glad to get One-ffth that price.
1t was the labor that made that crop val
liable. Had he sighted the vines in the
least his profit would have been changed
to a loss. We are not favored with an
abundance of plums in our market, sim
ply because it requires time and labor to
battle with the curculio, yet we can point
to a fruit-grower who annually grows hun
dreds of bushels of plums, and makes
large profits by bestowing the necessary
labor upon the trees, while his neighbors,
who consider him as undertaking too
much risk, really do more work, require
several yeras for so doing, and realize
less. The tendency at the present time
is to grow crops at the least expense, but
the question to consider is whether the
more economical modes are being prac
ticed. There is no labor, if rightly and
intelligently bestowed, that will uot return
itself fourfold. One may, however, do
hard days work and find it Improbable.
There is something else to be considered
other than the simple matter of laboring.
The labor must be applied where it will
do the most good and produce the great
est benefit. A crop of celery, asparagus,
plums or small fruits may DC costly to
produce, but the profits will correspond
with the original outlay.
Our markets are sometimes "glutted'
with those articles that are grown with
but little risk, labor or attention, while
scarcity exists in other directions. What
is desirable is that the farmer have no
specialities. His object should be to en-
deavor to produce those things which he
believes will be in demand, and not to
blindly sow the seed every year and trust
to chances for a short supply of the mar
ket.

An Old-Time Ghost Story
Baltimore American.


Whitemarsh is located in Talbot coun-
ty, near a cross-road village, known by
the singular and not euphonicus title of
The Hole in the Wall" That village
name is said to date from the ancient
days when Oxford was a port of entry.
The smuggling sailors would bring their
crooked liquors from the port at night
and deposit the bottles of Cognac and
Hollands in hole in the wall of the
traders shop, returning in the morning
for their payment.
Whitemarsh church dates back beyond
1890, and here ministered Commissary
Bray, one of the originators of the
famous Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel, through the agency of which
the Church of England has spread its
influence into every stronghold of
heathenism. building used by him as
a female seminary yet stands about a
mile away toward Oxford. In some I'M
explained way it stands, became alienated
from the church, and is now the county
aims house.
In I'LL the Rev. Mr.. Maynadier was
ractor, residing at the parsonage on a
farm short distance from the church,
and singular story is told of his family.
The tradition Is that his wife died after
brief illness and was buried with rather
unusual haste. The worthy man, over
come by grief, retired early, but was
aroused from his slumbers shortly before
midnight by knocking at the front
door. Imagine his feeling when, on
opening it. there stood his buried wife,
faint and terrified, but alive and in the
flesh. She had been hastily confined
without the removal of a valuable ring,
and one of the attendants, aware of the
fact, had exhumed the body just after
nightfall for the purpose rf robbing it.
But the ring chung to the finger, and an
effort was made to sever the joint blood
flowed, the corps groaned, moved, and
recovered consciousness. The would be
robber of the dead fled in terror from the
scene, and the lady, thus happily saved
from the grave. made her way through
the night to the desolate home from
which she had been carried few hours
before. She lived to tell the story for

| and it was a shame to expose SO valuable
| and creditable work of art to the open
air. So fully forty years after it hsd been
| snubbed by congress, republicans and
democrats were proud to ask Mr.. Jeffer-

and they gave him the place of honor in

| now shines for all. Guides who daily con-

| particular statue of the twenty-five about
| the building that they look at longest ana
praise the most.
In 1854 congress, DESTROYS Of perpe.u-
atlng the historic associations of the old
hall of the house, authorized the presi-
dent to invite each state to furnish
statues in marble or bronze, not exceed
ing two for each state, of deceased per
| sons lllustrious for their historic renown
or for distinguished civic or military ser
vice, as the statue determined worthy of
national commemoration. The first state
| to respond was Ohio, which presented a
| heroic figure of James A. Garfield. The
| statue of Jackson, in Lafayette square,
which cost $4,000, was ordered and paid
| for by congress- as were the fire marble
| statues of Jefferson, Lincoln and Wash
lngton. President Garfield is contribu-
ton from his state, and the most remark

Is the crown of laurel, the palms of vic
