Charles P. Eagan was only Lieutenant
Colonel when made Brigadier General and
put at the head of Subsistence Bureau in
the War Department little more than a
year ago, being jumped over seventy-seven
officers of his own rank aud all the C ilonels
in the army. This exceptional promotion
must have been secured by strong infu-
ences, the nature OF which can only be
surmised. The tenacity with which Sec
rotary Alger and President Mckinley
have chung to him is very suggestive. He
retires now with the rank and pay OF
Brigadier General, which is much more
than be could have hoped two years ago
ever to attain.

The MuIhRrrY Tree.

The mulberry stands on the side Of the hill,
With the scattered clouds over II lazy and still;
A silk-worm of fancy now spins from its leaves
A thread of gold tinsel. while memory weaves
A fabric as fine as the looms of the East
In hues like the ones Of the gay Flower Feast!
Below Little Blue with its azure-veined arm
Enfolds the fair landscape with many a CHARM
The low-bending willows that trail in the tide.
And the silvery sycamores rising in pride;
In the cool dappled shade. where the honey-bees
sing,
A sweet invitation the lily bells ring
To stop for a moment and rest, but for me
There is beauty alone in the mulberry tree.
Through the past all the wonders its covert pos
sessed.
From the velvet-like leaves to the well-rounded
nest
OF the robin that built on the sentinel limb,
Where poised at the ~nightfau. there trembled a
hymn
Far richer than those from the sirens fair isle
That tempted Ulysses to linger awhile.
The woodpeckers throng where the red berries
drip
With liquid as sweet as e'er moistened the lip
OF the fond devotee where the tall lilies grow
And the drops of rich Burgundy sparkle and flow.
No revei of midnight has dazzled his head
That peeps from the green leaves In turban OF red;
A feast to the gods do the berries bestow.
To the bird up above and the poet below.
The little sapsucker with many a dot
Has circled the trunk. and In each hidden spot
The berries have dropped by the same mystic
spell
AS the mamma that once in the wilderness fell.

When the sand burns my feet and the sun blinds
my eyes;
I recline in its shadow. and often I seem
To see the fair city John saw in his dream:
And 1 sit by the fountain that flows by its root
And drink the clear waters and eat the sweet
fruit,
While the peace in its shadow that falls over me
Is as calm as once rested on glad Galilee!
