CHARLEMAGNE’S TALISMAN.
Tt, is urulorstood that at the recent
Bonapariist, council held at Arencn-
Imrjr, in Switzerland, it was decided
that Empress Euponio should abdi
cate the regency which he h '\s hold!
ever since her impci ial husband left
Paris, in the bright summer weather
of 1870, for the last time, and that
the young prince, Louis Napoleon,
who underwent in that fatal summer
his '‘baptism of fire,” should take up
on himself the responsible leadership
of tho imperial cause in France.
Whatever tho reasons for this decis
ion may be, it is quite certain, wo
suppose, that tlie Empress Eugenie,
so long as she lives, will continue to
exercise a great influence upon tlo
fortunes of the son and of the party
which is so openly and so audacious
ly laboring for his restoration to the
throne of France. Our readers,
therefore, will read with interest, we
are sure, an account which has been
forwarded to us from England ot a
visit recently paid by an English
woman of position and intelligence to
the dethroned and widowed lady who
for so many years commanded the
admiration and tlie homage, not of
her own sex and of her own country
men only, but of both st-xes and of
all civilized peoples.
The Empress has for some tim<
past been living at Arenenbcrg,
where the Third Napoleon passed so
many years of his life with his mother,
the lovely and unfortunate Queen
Monetise. Arenenbcrg is a charm
ing chateau standing a little off the
direct road from Schalfhausen to
Constance. It was sold in 1843, after
the dcatli of Louis Bonaparte, cx-
King of Holland, to a citizen ofNeu
enberg, for 840,000 florins, and in
1855 this citizen’s heirs sent, to Paris
and sold there its fine collections of
pictures and works of art, including
some paintings by David, and many
souvenirs of the First Napoleon.
This led the Emperor Napoleon 111
to repurchase the estate, and it now
belongs to his son. Tlie ex-Empress
(who always, by the way, alludes to
the di asters of 1870 as “the ev nt.-’
has passed her autumns at Arenen
bcrg ever since the end ot the Franco-
Prussian war. The plateau stands
on a hill nearly 1,500 feet in height,
and commands a lovely view over the
upper valley ot the Rhine. The
house is furnished now with perfect
simplicity, the only splendor any
where kept up being about tlie chap
el of tho chateau, the altar fin niturc
of which is decorated with ancient
and very costly trees. In this chapel
is kept the “Golden Rose” sent by
his Holiness Pius IX, some years ago
to the Empress, then reigning at the
Tuileries. This “Mystic Rose,” by
the way, is rather a rose tree than a
rose, and is a wonderful piece ot
goldsmith’s work. It represents a
bunch of roses with buds and leaves,
the whole about twelve inckcs in
height, being sot in an antique vase
of exquisite pattern, adorned with
bassi-relievl ot scenes in the life of
Pius IX. The roses, tho leaves, the
vase, arc all of the purest gold, eiiis
seled with a delicacy and freedom
and force, worthy the best ages and
schools of art. Tho vase is set upon
a base of lapis-luxuli enriched with
alternate medallions in gold of tlie
papal and the imperial arms, and in
its turn supported on four small steps
of lapis-luzuli. Of course the ex-
Empress sets the highest value on
this precious memorial of her sove
reign days, and of the favor with
'H IJ %.
ufx DEMOCRATIO FAMILY NEWSFAPEE.
BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, GA., NOVEMBER 12, 1375,
which the head of her church then,
as now, regarded her, alike as a wo
man and as a sovereign l Equally
treasured with the “Goldenßose," is
the “Talisman of Charlemagne,” a
curious souvenir of tho two greatest
Princes who ever swayed tho desti
nies of;modern Europe. Thu, Romms
w o pa:.lnnately fond of t&ihniHins,
which have been sometimes called
chhanmc, from the multiform fabu
lous monster of that name—goat, lion
and dragon all in one—sometimes
symplegmata , as being made up cf
discordant elements embraced in one
form, and which have been known in
more recent times as grylU, from tho
Itallian grillo, which signifies at once
a “cricket” and a caprice. In the
later day of Romo and ti e earlier
days of modern history the use of
such symbolic devices, carved in
stone of various kinds and worn in
rings chiefly, became very general.
They were thought to operate as
charms and to secure to the wearer
the mystic protection of the deny or
deities either symbolized or plainly
set forth upon them. The stone
known as the Talisman of Charle
magne is a species of conundrum, and
is believed to have been h and very
precious by that great sovereign. It,
was long pi\ served with the rest of
the relics belonging to him ot Aix-la-
Clwpclie, and the chapter of tlie ca
thedral presented it, not without co
gent reasons to tlie modern Charle
magne, the First Napoleon, who con
stantly carried it about with him.
The King of Rome, afterward Duke
ol Reiehstadt, treasured it not less,
nnd from him it passed to his cousin,
Louis Napo eon,. who had it about
his person when he made his escape
from the prison ot Ham. He left it
behind him, however, when he quit
ted Paris in 1870. Who knows what
might have happened had ho taken
it with him to the did ? On tho 3rd
of September, when the Empress
made up her mind to fly from France
it was enclosed in a reliquary < f rock
crystal, shut in by a secret spring,
tho Empress did not understan i and
had no time to search for. So with
a woman’s decision she caught lip a
pair of tongs from tin chimney-piece
and dashed the costly case into frag
ments. Shortly afterward she confi
ded it, with a large sum of money, to
a faithful official, with orders to find
lie Emperor at Wilhelineholie, and
give them to him. The official lost
his head, and, instead ol setting out
at once, went to his apartments in
Paris. There lie put the money and
the talisman into'an armorie, the key
of which he had lost, and the double
doors of which he fastened together
by pinning over them a map of the
fortifications of Paris with four pins.
Then camo on “the events,” one af
ter another, with tremendous rapidi
ty. The official, caught one day out
of doors, was obliged to fly for his
life, without going back to-get either
the money or tlie talisman. Of
course tho Empress in her exile,
when she heard of all this, imagined
.that the money and the talisman both
must be given up for lost, and with
the talisman the fortunes of the Na
poleons, the moro particularly as it
was made known to her by the public
journals that tho apartments of the
official to whom she had confided
them had been repeatedly ransacked
both before, during, and after the
commune. Fancy her astonishment
then, and delight when this official
at last returning to Paris and to his
long-abandoned apartments found
the map of the fortifications dusty in
deed, but undisturbed and the con
tents of the armorie precisely as lm
had left them ! It can hardly lie
thought strange that tins should be
regarded not only by tho ex-Empress
lie®if. but l.v her sou anil by not a
fetwf their partisans, as an omen ol
uaycstionable promise for their now
fcsw.
To Farmers Who have 'Failed to
Stake Corn Enough.
I commenced farming in the
year 1819 and continued until my
negroes were freed. During that
time, owing to the severe drouths,
I failed twice to make corn
enough to do me longer than the
month of May. I sowed wheat,
and when it began to ripen, say
the heads turn yellow, and the
o-rain formed in the rough state,
the stalk and blades still green,
I had it cut and cured. I stopped
feeding on corn and had the wheat
cut up with a knife, commencing
at tlie heads and throwing away
a portion of tlie butt-ends. My
stock were in good working order
for I had fed bountifully with
corn, knowing that the hard work
had to be done, and that tho corn
would last until the wheat came in.
I commenced feeding on wheat,
tho work being lighter, and the
stock actually improved. I did
not have to buy a bushel of corn.
Many farm res think it labor lost
to raise wheat in this climate. I
am satisfied that it is more from
mi: management than ' anything
else that they fail—l seldom ever
failed, and give my plan : First, I
break up mv ground with dia
mond pointed scooters live inches
wide; plow very close so as to
pulverize the ground thoroughly,
and, if necessary, cross plow.
My plan for preparing the seed is
to have two tubs of brine, as
strong as salt will make it. I
pour in a small quanity at a time
gently stir, throwing away what
will float. I let it remain in
the brine from thirty-Mx to forty
eight hours. While you are sow
ing out one tub the other is soak
ing. Put the wheat in a basket
to drain, and while draining
sprinkle with lime until it is all
coated. If this rule is strictly
carried out you will never find a
head of smut. My rule was one
peck and a half to the acre, i
covered with wooden tooth harrow
(I would not use an iron tooth
harrow if one was given me.)
The harrow was made of three
pieces of scantling, three by four
inches, put together triangularly,
with auger holes one inch and a
half from the teeth, five inches
apart in tlie back piece, and the
same number in tho side pieces,
which will be further apart in the
back piece. Tlie teeth are four in
ches square, tapered down, leaving
at the point a quarter of an inch
square. Let the sower follow the
plow and the harrow follow the sow
er. I prefer harrowing with the
plow.
If I were farming now, I would
sow wheat for my stock to feed on if
I could buy corn at seventy-five
cents a bushel. In fact, I believe it
might be profitable to feed on wheat
in summer and sell corn at seventy
live cents, for at that time of the
year money is money with farmers.
1 always prefer putting wheat on
cottoD land, as it is easier prepared,
clear of grass and Hessian fly. The
NUMBER S.
last of October, or any time in No
vember, I generally sowed wheat.
I think the fault of most farmers is
that they don’t prepare the land
right before sowing, and they put
too much to tlie aero, and a great
portion of the t seed imperfect
grains. Some put a bushel to the
acre, and if they make ten bushels
they think it is a very line crop,
when really they have made only
one-tenth of a head to each grain
they sowed (supposing each grain t,o
produce one hundred grains.) But,
all farmers knowhat, one grain is
capable of producing over five hun
dred grains, one bushel should bring
five hundred bushels. Another er
ror, they cover too deep. What will
not come up if covered three or four
inches deep—the roots at tho grain
deprived of light, heat, and air, caus
jes very slow growth. These roots
have to support tho stalk until it, is
sufficiently strong to throw out roots
near the surface ; when this takes
place the lower roots and stems per
ish ; by this time it is cold weather,
and the surface roots, short and ten"
dor, arc very easily spewed out by
frost, and for want of moisture die
out. If it should escape the freeze
it has had in time to teller out, and
only produces one ort vo heads when
it should have produced from live to
iwonty. The shallow covered grain
throws out at the start permanent
roots and has time to bunch and tel
ler out, and in no danger of being
spewed cut by the frost, and will
produce from live to twenty heads
if its not too much crowded. This
is not chimney corner theory, but
from actual experience and observa
tion of over fifty years.— J. I). Ha

Important Supreme Court Decision.
The present te:m of the Supremo
Court has made a decision, out of
uhieli will necessarily grow a great
deal of litigation and comparison.
The case went up from Griffin. It is
too long to publish it in full.
Tho decision declares unconstitu
tionuljthc eleventh sectionof the home*
stead law. That section allowed par
ties who had taken the homestead to
scii it, provided the wife and hus
band both sign the deed, and tiic Or
dinary of the county approved it.
The decision declares that such a
provision in the homestead law is un
constitutional, and that they cannot
sell except as provided in the consti
tution. The constitution only pro
vides four circumstances under which
the homestead can be sold: Ist, for
faxes; 2nd, for improvements made
on the homestead; 3rd, for labor per
formed on the homestead; and 4th,
for mortgages, Ac., in the shape of
incumbrances lifted from the home
stead.
Outside of these, fhe law now de
clares a sale of ihe homestead null
and void. It almost repeals the ele
venth section of the act, and places
a homestead almost without the pow
er to even sell. We apprehend, how
ever, that a sale of the homestead
might be sold, through a bill in equi
ty, for some good reasons.
As tho decision now stands a num
ber of people in our knowledge have
bought property of this nature, and
the tide to it in not worth the paper
it is written on. It is an ill wind
tha t biows nobody good. This wind
will probably revive the sinking
ship, labelled “law business.”
We are not sufficiently posted as
yet, to fathom the justice of the de
cision, or to foretell the piactical
workings of the law, but if we under
stand the decision aright, we know
it will be the production of consider
able harm to those who have bought
homesteads, and may recuperate tho-.
pockets ol some that have sold.—.
