Profusion Of Foreign Fruit.

The Havana fruit trade, which is now draw
ing to close, has been larger during the present
season than at any time during the last fifteen
wears: the orange plantations in Cuba having're-
covered from the disastrous year OF l844 when
insects. storms and other adverse influences, al
most annihilated them. The quality Of the truit
is quite good. The total importations from fia-
vana have been about 100000, OF which 2.000-
900 were brought in steamers,-there having
been TWENTY-FIVE arrivals, each bringing on an
average. $4,000 oranges. Fruit brought in this
exueditiolls manner receives the preference in
the market. on account of its freshness and su-
perior flavor. About an equal quantity is re-
ceiyed here by schooners and 2,OO0. 900 more as
deck-loads of sailing packets. There were six
cargoes hy schooners, averaging 100000 each
cargo. A few oranges are brought from Porto:
Rico and Matanzas. Cuba oranges have sold, on
an average, for 50 per box; though some, have
sold as low as $3.50, and some as high as $l3--
according to quality and supply. The common
belief is, that Havana oranges are always sweet;
but those first received, in the autumn, being
picked before fully matured, are invariably sour,
and it is only in January, February, March and
April. that the orange is in its best condition.
Later in the season than this 1t is dry and spon-
gy. The total value Of the impOrtations OF Ha-
yana fruit this season is estimated at 100000.
Fortunately, when the supply of oranges fails
in the West Indies, large cargoes begin to arrive
from the Mediterranean, and the trade from that tn
direction is by far the most important. The
latter description of fruit is already becoming a.
bundant in our market, so that there are now
eight or nine cargoes in port unsold, and boxes
were sold yesterday at the remarkably low rate
of forty-two cents Us 6d.) Vessels have re-
Gently made long passages, and the fruit is often
in bad condition. When in prime order $2.75
or $9 is realized. The best Mediterranean fruit
is received about the last of April or early in
May. 1t is judged by one Of our largest import
ers. that about fifty cargoes will be received at this
port the present season, of which twenty have
already arrived, and that the total importations
will amount to 100000 boxes, mostly from Mes
sina and Palermo. About one-third OF this
quantity is lemons. The valuation of this fruit
exceeds $5O0,00O. A large deduction has to be
made for losses from decay. Supplies OF fruit
from the Mediterranean continue until about
the time the domestic fruit trade commences in
the Fall but it is the finest about the first OF
Nav. when the Havana fruit fa:ls.---N. 7. Jour.

Name in the Sand. .-
Alone walked on the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand,
stopped and wrote upon the sand

As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast, ....t
A wave came rolling high and fast,
Aud washed ms line away. s--.r
And so me thought. twill quickly be rr

A wave OF dark obyion's sea,
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
OF Iime and been to me no more;
OF me, my day. the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And vet with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the water in his hands,
know lasting record stands,
Inscribed against my name
of all this mortal part has wrought
OF all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these aeeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame. - Is,

DEATH OF Son oP Nelly PIToHER.
Carlisle Qllinois) Democrat notices the death In
that place, on Thursday week, of Sergeant John
l.. Hays, an old resident of Carlisle and soldier
of the war of 1912. Sergeant Hays was born on
the day of the battle of Lexington, and was con-
sequently eighty.fve years old. He was the
son of the celebrated Molly Pitcher, who distin-
guished herself at the battle of Monmouth, and
of whom the "I4ife of Washington" gives the fol-
lowing account: 3 7on5. b. 71as.oJ
ut was during this part of the battle, when
Lee was struggling nobly against the overwhelm-
ing numbers that pressed on him, that an Irish
man. while serving at his gun, was shot down.
His wife, Molly, but twenty-five years old, em-
ployed herself while he loaded and fired his
piece, in bringing water from a spring near by.
While returning with a supply she saw him fall,
andheard the commanding officer order the gun to
be taken to the rear She Immediately ran for
ward, seized the rammer, declaring she would
avenge his death. She fought her piece like a
hero to the last. The next morning Gen. Greene,
who had been struck with her bravery, present
ed her to Gen. Washington, who Immediately
promoted her to be q sergeant, and afterwards
put her name upon the half pay list for life. Pre-
yious to this she fred tho last gun when the A
mericans were driven from Fort Montgomery"
At the close of the Revolution, Molly took up
her residence in Carlisle, where she was known
as Molly McCauley. She lived to an advanced
age much respected by all, and was buried with
military honors n,.g

But even these tables do not show the whole
amount OF immigration, because they embrace
only those aoho arrired by sea- and do not include
such as game in by land, from the British pos
sessionspr any of the other contiguous countries.

mate of many well-inforlned persons, that for

United States by land and sea, was not short OF

A PoETIoAL PRoPHEcY.-The "Pote" Of the
Buffalo Republican, who has before written many
'.feeling" verses, in late "pome" thus refers to
the French baby:

On airs, and bimeby sum of the Frenchmenl

This table shows that for the last eleven years,
the average annual immigration was nearly thir-
ty fold greater than during the first decade
But startling as this fact is, it does not present
the case in its strongest light.
Mr.. De Bows tables are compiled from the re-
ports of the Collectors of the principal ports,
which are very often imperfect, and do not pre-
sent the whole truth, because Captains of vessels
being limited by law in regard to the number of
their passengers, have strong interest, when
they violate it by bringing more than the num-
ber allowed by law, to conceal the fact by false
returns. baB .ig2l rHH 7a-, If
