From the Baltimore American.
There, on the wall, it hangs, with
dented curves and battered
mouth,
As though it fought the song of war
1t shrilled across the South;
AS though the blasts of wrath it blew
had clutched it in a grasp
That left the lasting finger prints ere
it released it's clasp.
There, on the wall it hangs to-day-a
token of Times lapse
For now it knows no other song than
that sweet one of Taps"
The bent and battered bugle that has
sent its thrilling CALL
Until a thousand men have hurled
themselves against a wall
Against wall of bayonets-of bayo-
nets and flame
And leaped into the charge as If +bo
bugle called each namei
There, on the wall. it hangs to-day
between the soldier caps,
And in its rusty throat there is M
other song than Taps"
Once, sharp and shrill. it burned ana
blared from mouthpiece out to
bell "

strains, the startling song of hell
OlI ringing rampantly, it sang in tone
and voice elate,
In clearest keenest melody, the rban-
sody of hate,
Yet now it hangs there peacefuIIv ana
sings but when the gaps
In thinning ranks call for the sad and
sweet old song of Taps ''''N

sound:
NO soldier mind but travels once again

dimming in the haze.

AN UNHAPPY QUEEN.

That Maria Christina, the Austrian. :"
still has enemies at court in Madrid
after nearly twenty-five years of ma
tlent struggling on her part to break
down the prejudice against her, seems
TO be indicated in recent stories alleg-
ing her morganatic marriage with
Count de la Escosura, her master of
horse. These stories have been indig-
nantly denied on behalf of the Queen
Mother, and there is strong suspicion
that they We're started in Madrid nv
her enemies for the purpose of bring
ing her into disrepute and possibly
causing breach between her and her
son, the King. If recent descriptions
Of the Kings disposition and temper
are to be credited, such story would
be we'll calculated to throw him into
a paroxysm of rage. Gen. Stewart l..
Woodford. formerly American minis
ter at Madrid, knowing the Queen well.
says he is satisfied from his acquaint-
ance with her that she has done moth
ing beneath her dignity; that she has
not married her master of horse.
Maria Christmas life at Madrid has
been throughout one of difficulties if
not actual unhappiness. Her husband
did not love her and took no pains to
conceal the truth. She was his second
wife. He was devoted to his first wife,
the beautiful Mercedes, whose untime-
ly death left him disconsolate. With
in few months, however, a marriage
between the Austrian Grand Duchess
and Alfonso was arranged There were
political reasons back of it, as in the
case OF the majority of royal mar
riages. 1t has been alleged that Ma
ria Christina was in love with an
other at the time of her betrothal to
the King; hence there was no love on
either side in the match. But alb
sence of love is no bar to a royal we'd
ding. The pair We're married by proxy
in 1879, and three months later the
actual ceremony Was celebrated. Ma
drid did not receive the new Queen
with very good grace. and at court
the courtiers laid political and social
pitfalls for her. These, however, with
rare tact she avoided and left her hus-
band no cause for complaint Still she
was neglected by him almost through
out their six years of welded life.
When he died. in 1885, and the admin
istration of the government devolved
upon her. on behalf of their son, the
woman's mettle was put to the sever
est test. 1t cannot be said that her
reign as regent was characterized by
any marked ability, and she had the
misfortune to see SPANS colonies
swept away, still she did as we'll as
any other could have done, no doubt
and forced her subjects to honor and
respect her. She never shirked an I'M
pleasant duty and proved a devoted
mother to her children. How badly
this has been repaid by young AL
fonso. her son, has been on several
occasions referred to in the cable dis
patches.

The Philadelphia Record tells an in
teresting little tale of figs. The other
day a Chestnut street fruiterer's win
dow had a display of fresh figs. I'M
mediately a crowd besieged the place
and all OF the figs were quickly snap
ped up. at fifty cents quart. So rare
are fresh figs in the Philadelphia mar
ket that but for the label it is safe
to suppose that many would not
have known what they We're"
Continuing, the Record says: NAT
urally much more wholesome
than the dried sorts. these fresh new
figs, which cost so cents a quart, are
also pleasanter to eat. one can think
of nothing so tender, yet so firm.
Shaped like tiny Seckel pears, with
thick, rubber-like stems. this tasty
fruit is of a rich color. shading into
brown, green and purple. Those who
dwell in Naples have these fresh figs
on their table the year round. The
figs for sale here, however, grew in
Georgia, and count one link in the
chain so steadily growing and proving
the possibilities of our great Southland
Indeed, authorities assert that there's
hardly fruit or a flower which can
not be made to flourish in some one of
the states boasting a climate more or
less inclining to sub-tropical tempera-
ture"
There is no more delightful and
healthful fruit in the world than the
fig, and the figs of Smyrna and Naples
are no finer than may be grown in
Georgia, especially in the low country.
All varieties of figs flourish here, and
several varieties bear not only one but
two crops per year. Thus it is one of
the most prolific of all fruits. The fig
tree responds generously to cultiva-
ton. Indeed, even if it is not cult
waited, but is merely given space in
which to live and have its being it
will shower blessings upon the head
of it's host. And yet the fig is proba-
bly, the most neglected of all our
fruits. An acre of carefully selected
and cultivated fig trees would be a
small gold mine to the owner; one or
two fig trees in a city back yard are
a boon and benediction to the
householder. The demand for figs
never has and never will be satisfied.
The market is always waiting and
eager for the fresh fruit, at good
prices. 1t is a matter of difficulty to
get a plate of fresh figs for breakfast.
in the hight of the season. even here
where the fig tree fiourishes like the
proverbial green bay tree. That North
ern markets are eager to have fresh
hgs Is shown by the quotation above
from the Philadelphia paper Why do
not some of our enterprising people go
into the business of raising figs for
local and Northern markets? There
would be money in it., even at fifteen
or twenty cents a quart basket. The
transportation of figs cannot be much
more difficult than that of strawber-
ries. With the modern refrigerato tor
cars fresh figs ought to be laid down
IN Philadelphia, New York and Bos-
ton from Georgia without any diff

The pistol clattered on the floor.
The man wheeled and pulled open the

THE NUT GROWERS.

The Nut Growers Convention, which
/ is TO assemble in the city of Macon this
morning, and hold three sessions.
| promises to be a largely attended and
! important meeting. 1t will bring to-
gether professional and amateur nut
| growers from this and other states,
and the literature Of the nut industry
viii undoubtedly be much enriched.
! Arrangements have been made for adj
! dresses by several growers who have
made a success of the business. These
viii be found full of instruction for
those who contemplate adding to their
sources of income by planting nut
bearing trees.
That there is a wide extent of
Southern territory suited to the grow
ing of pecans and other nuts seems
not to admit of any doubt. The thing
to be done now is to interest farmers
in the matter and get them to take
hold of it. There are probably few
farmers in Georgia that own their
farms who could not find a few acres
which they might devote to nuts; and
they would make such use of these
acres If they could be brought to un-
derstand that there is profit in the
crop. The addresses and papers of
the Macon convention will show how
to grow nuts for profit. They will
show, too, how to secure results in the
shortest space of time and for the
least outlay. If we understand it, it
is not necessary to give up the land
at once to nut grove, but two or
three crops of cotton can be grown
where young grove has been set out.
and the cultivation given to the cotton
will prove beneficial to the trees.
Then, when the trees have grown to
size making a cotton crop impossi-
bic, cowpeaS and other legtIminous
crops should follow; and live stock
may be proftably pastured in the
grove. Poultry raising and bee keep
ing, it is said, are more in place on a
nut grove than on an ordinary farm.
where poultry and bees often damage
crops and fruit.
A number of farmers in Georgia are
already nut growers, and almost If
not quite without exception, where
care and judgment have been used.
they have found their nut trees to be
something in the nature of a gilt-edge
investment. We hope and believe the
Macon meeting will be productive of
much good, to individuals and the
state

The Woman and the Ladder.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay did not as
cend a ladder to the deck of the Teu-
tonic, but one of her friends did de-
scend a ladder from the deck to an
other liner to reach a revenue cutter
alongside, says the New York Press
She was none other than Mrs. Sidney
Dillon Ripley, who, as you know, is
the daughter of the late Henry B.
Hyde, and sister of James H. Hyde
Everything was regular. The steamer
anchored for the night, and Mrs. Rip
ley wanted to come ashore. Her hus-
: band was there to meet her. At sight
of the slim ladder she shivered and
drew back in the darkness Part of
the ships rail was lifted out, which
rendered the ladder less steep. Now
Mrs Ripley" commanded the officer
of the cutter, turn round with your
sface to the steamer, hold tight to the
rungs and come down backward" But

shuddering at the open-mouthed, wide
eyed group on the cutter. Gentle
men viii kindly look the other way"
said the Lieutenant; then to Mrs. Rip
ley through the megaphOne, very gent
ly: Madame, there is no occasion
for embarrassment" In a minute she
stood safe upon the cutters deck house.
