Only the ashes of one wild rose,
Bat what do they mean to you?—
▲ hidden tryst that the violet knowis,
A fugitive kiss while the south wind
blows,
A shining of love in her eyes of bl* ae,
And the golden dreams that allways
came true? .
Sere, odorless ashes of one wild rota, \
Bat what do they mean to you?—
A flattering moth that the great light
chose,
A moment of joy the comedy's c\oee,
And unveiled mem’ries to haunt life
thro’
Os ah ended dream that never was true?
Aye, what do they mean to y •ou,
These passionless ashes of one i rild rose?—
The anger that sanders, the < shasm that
grows,
The sorrowful reaping of him who sows;
The pitiless past and tomorrow’s me,
And the vanished dream that might
have been true?

What pntiall city can Loast of SO
many perfectly appointed equipages
as Griffin? Smart turnouts aod smart
ly dressed occupants pass along oar
principal streets in an unwearied suc
cession. Individual taste oounts a
great dealwith carriage appurtenances,
despite conventional rules, and a
glimps of personal characteristics can
be gained from a person’s equipage. A
pair o! spirited horses draw iu«r, and
the turnout is a magnificent one. The
coachman is a well known ffigure in
Griffin for he has been at the head of
the Boyd equerries for nuai iy years.
He is filled with the responsibility of
his position. The carriage is lined
with black, and the trappdnf;s are of
the same sombre hue. 7 .’he Boyd
family are still, io mourrriiq' for the
late Col. J D. Boyd.
Now spinning along at a fine pace
cornea Mrs Edward C, Btoitb, smiling
and gracious, one of the beet whips in
Griffin,beside her is her little daughter.
A fascinating little clatter of hoofs
is heard aod Mrs. Wb.eeler's little
daughter goes past, driving the pret
tiest span macle up of perfectly match
ed Shetland ponies, shaking their
manes and apparently enjoying the
frolic as much as their young mistress.
Griffin boasts of many fine horsewo
men but none finer tha n Miss Mattie
Terry, who handles the reins with
great skill, and whom carriage ap
purtenances are the extreme of
smartness.
A dainty vision in blue handling
the ribbons with charming dexterity
flashes before the scene, and Mrs.
John M. Sears, driving io a handsome
trap, whirls past.
The Misses Mills liave a beautifully
appointed turnout, and their carriage
dresses are among tba most exquisite
in town.
Mrs. William D. Dcrvis owns one of
the prettiest traps, ar»d manages her
spirited horse with infinite skill and
grace .«

Washington. Aug. 20.—Admirals
Sampron and Schley have been or
dered to report to Washington, and it
is expected they will reach here the
early part of next week, probably
Monday.
As they have been appointed to serve
respectfully on the Cuban and Porto
Rican eniumiesions, their vuit here
will afford an opportunity to meet
their associates on these commissions
and to disease with the authorities the
general policy to be maintained by
this government on the Spanish evac
uation of the West Indies.
Nava| officials were camiflerabl.,
re’eived today when early reports
cached them that Admiral Sampson's
Wtithad been sighted gh the High
lands nt 5:40 a m. They bad begun
to lear the elaborate
made in city f«rr the recep
tion of the fleet might miscarry by
reason of Some delay iu arriving The
time of arrival is looked upon as a
tribute to the accuracy with which
our naval commanders can calculate
on the length of time for a long cruise.
After the naval review today the
battleships and cruisers will go to the
Brooklyn navy yard and there be
docked and repaired. i
For the first time in ten years »e

ly to stand on the statute books for
some time to come.
It is believed that this source of in
come will be maintained for the pur
pose of building up the navy, for
which elaborate plans will be submit*
ted to congress.
A dispatch from Madrid says:
“All the indications are that the
peace negotiations will be prolonged.
The opposition factions are redoubling
the agitation for convoking the cortes,
and it is said that Senor.Bagasta be
gins to hesitate, although he shares
the opinion of Duke Almedovar de
Rio, the foreign minister, as to the in
convenience involved in a meeting of
the cortes and a series of debates dur
ing the peace negotiations.
“It is possible that the cortes will
meet alter the elections to the council

After th* Maa, Not Hie Books.
Jt must often Im mortifying to a writer
of true genius to find how much more In
teresting he is than his books to the people
whom he addresses with pathetio Irony as
hia “readers.” Many authors no doubt
derive their principal gratification in life
from this fact. Their so called “works”
are nothing but the advertisement of the
peepshow which they ore longing to open
to the eyes of all and sundry. Nay, such
is the vanity of human nature that proba
bly every author who has been lucky
enough to meet with this particular temp
tation has yielded, at least for a few mo
ments, to the keen, selfish pleasure of feel
ing that he, the “I who wrote it,” has
achieved a success, instead of being
warmed by the more decorous satisfaction
of knowing that the truth has been suc
cessfully vindicated or the beautiful re
produced once more in a moderately faith
ful copy.
But When the first flush of proud excite
ment is over, the true author, who feels
that the important point is that he had
something to say and has said it, must be
often disgusted by the kind of stir that he
makes. The reading public rushes at him
with a multiplicity of irrelevant questions.
Who is he? What was his father? Is he
married? Do they quarrel? Does he wear
his hair long, or dress like other people?
Is he addicted to sherry and bitters, or has
he written his book on a strictly vegetable
diet? Not unnaturally many authors
shrink from this sort of inquisition and
shut themselves up at the risk of being
called bears, and, on the whole, the Brit
ish public is good humored enough qot to
burn these authors or their works in the
market place tot thus balking their curi
osity.—Fortnightly Review.
TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FIOS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia. Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
