- WASHINGTON, July 12.-Colonel Alex
ander Med. McCook, nominated by the
president to be brigadier general of the
army, has been a candidate for that rank
for ten years. He undoubtedly received his
appointment through the tremendous
pressure of the Sherman influence, which
has been exerted in his behalf every time
that there has been brigadiershiDv vacant.
Alexander Med McCook was born in
Ohio in 1881, and viii therefore not retire
on account of age until 1895. The new
brigadier general will no doubt be assigned
to the command of the department of
Arizona, the place recently held by Briga-
dier General Grierson, now retired. The
headquarters of the department is Los
Cal.

lowed by Queen Olga of Wurtemberg,
who Is daughter Of Gar Nicholas; by
Queen Olga of Greece, who is likewise a
Russian grand duchess; By the PrncesseS

discoveries are made at every season, in

at such times, through the valuable expe-

tifying the system against it, "A feeling of

THE FOxGLOVE.

IA grandmamma's garden, In shining rows
The box smells sweet as It trinity grows;
The sun dial quaint the hc1zs tells,
Mid foxgloves tan with spotted bells;
And all is dear and all is fair
AS chndhood's self had dwelling there
In grandmamma's garden a child played,
With naught save bees to make afraid;
counted the spots on the foxglove's cheek,
And knew it could tell, if it would but speak,
How cunning fairies in the night
Had painted them by faint starlight
In grandmamma's garden the foxgloves gay
With every wind would nod and sway;
Full well knew that they were wise,
and watched with childhoods g eager eyes
To see them whisper each to each,
And catch the secrets of their speech.
In grandmamIna's garden still I walk,
And still the foIgloves seem to talk.
Their speech not yet my manhood learns,
But when 1 see them youth returns
wonder at them still in vain
But with them am child again
