The City Excitement.

We indite the present paragraph at eleven
o'clock, (last evening) The streets are thronged,
but we wtness no manifestation OF riot or disorder
At the popuious corners of the city groups are
crowded together discussing the Cuban news, but
we observe no feeling among them which would
lead to any apprehension OF violence or disorder.
They iceland they feel keenly--the monstrous
outrage that has been perpetrated on some OF our
best, beloved, and most gallant citizens, and they
have resolved, not in public meeting. not In the
orators eloquenoe, but in their sacred and inmost
SOUL that the victims of Spanish tyranny shall find
in them avengers.
THE country know-and they. living, as they do,
in a free country, are the most contemplate OF
tyrannv's tools-that American blood shall not be
permitted 10 surfeit Spanish domination In Cuba,
or to satiate Spanish vengeance, without the GER
tainty of a dreadful accountability, we oil know
Recurring again TO the scenes of last evening,
we saw nothing particular to note. Groups, as we
have already said, were gathered together at cor
ner and corner; but peace, peace, peace pervaoed
their language. So may it ever be The modern
or more efficacious implements of warfare are the
pen and the tongue; they are found full efhca-
cious auxiliaries in forming and directing public
opinion but still more hostile attitude should be
assumed towards those insidious vipers who crawl
in among and assume the garb of American citi-
zens, with no other view than to sting them unto
death. These are the wretches, to beware OF whom
we would caution the public-monarchists ingram
men whose education and whose nature taught
them to be panders to royalty. But even then, the
American press can meet in the field OF fair and
candid discussion, when it condescends to notice
insects which have the will but not the power to
sting.
Friends of Cuba-enemics Of Spanish barbarity-
think not of the past, go TO work. free the beautiful
Island of Cuba of its monster oppressors and show
by your zeal in the Of Cuban independence,
that while you mourn over those who have been
murdered, your sympathes are not the less strong
for those who still contend for the good cause.

VITALITY OF SEEDS" Ion,'' Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, in letter to that
paper. says:
al received last winter two seeds, said to be
wheat which were found in the folds of the Egyp-
tian mummy which MIR. Gliddon unrolled in Bos-
ton. The mummy was supposed to be one of the
Pharaohs. 1t proved to be priestess, and to be
more than thirty centuries old.
1.-THE seeds were shaped something like pearl
barley, and of that size and were of dark tinge,
if colored by the same preparation which had
been used in the process of embaming.
'I planted the two seeds in a flower pot in the
spring. They germinated, grew finely, and one
of the plants bears hundred or more grains. The
other is more backward, and is still in flower.
The leaf resembles maize. 1t may be species of
milet. The land of Egypt-the granary of an
cient times-must, of course, have been cultivated
with grain, which, for that climate and soil, was
very productive and nutritious. II was hardly
worth the while of the priestess to have taken with
her these two small emblems of the resurrection,
unless they were valued grains.

THE ORANGE CULTURE IN FLoRIDA.-It was with
qualification that we saw it announced that the
orange trees of sister State, Florida, fast
recovering from the deadly blight which has af-
fcted them for the last sixteen years Should this
announcement prove true, it will be source of i'm
mense wealth.
Previous to 1895, when the orange groves were
killed by the unprecedented frost of that year, not
less than 100000 of oranges were shipped from
the St. Johns river and the port of St. Augustine,
and sold at the average price Of 3 / per hundred.
1t was heavy blow the citizens of Florida to
have the source Of much wealth cut off in one
night.
And this the produce of comparatively
small portion of ground and triling labor. The
average produce of an acre of full-grown orange
trees about thousand dollars per annum,
and one hand could tend two or three acres with
ease. Their culture ID no more difficult than any
other fruit tree. The principal mode of producing g
them is from the seed. They may be produced
also from the layer cutting. There some
groves on the st. Johns river which have been
budded upon the native sour orange, which is
found in almost every swamp and hammock in the
State.
With the very extensive means and facilities of
communication by means of steam and railroad
now existing, many, very many years must elapse
before the market can be supplied fully with this
luscious fruit.
Sincerely do we hope the announcement alluded
TO may not be premature. 1t will restore wealth
to large portion of the State, and give to property
the value of millions where it is scarcely worth
dollars now Charieston Mercury.
