a LUCKY STREAK OF LIGmTNING.-Som
months ago DR.. Charles Mes of this bor-
ough was called upon to visit poor old
lady four or five miles in the country,
who stood in need of = physician. The
day was Il dark and gloomy one, the rain
falling in torrents, and the sky at times dis
urbed by fierce flashes of Lightning and
loud bursts of thunder The doctor knew
that he would get nothing for his visit
and service, yet prompted by that spirit
Of bencvolence for which he is character
lied, he nevertheless started out in the
storm to look after his patient. When he
arrived at the house he found that the
lightning had struck into corner of it
and had melted up a gun.barrel which
had been standing there. The house was
unnjured. A careless inspection Of the
solved metal suggested thought, and
that in return begat another, until the
final result was the discovery of the man.

for which the doctor now holds letters

be among the most important discoveries
of the age.
The storm, the sick lady. her impov-
erished condition. the doctors well known
kindness of heart, the old gun-barrel and
the lightning stroke led to it,and if it had
not been for this singular coincidence of
things the discovery might never have
been made DR.. Nes never received pay
from the old lady for his visit or services
nor would he have received it, probably,
under the circumstances, had it been ten

ters patent for an invention suggested by
the circumstances of that visit, which
may realize for him millions of dollars.

by Giant Powder fired in one hole bored
by this machine. The machine is manu-

Professor Orion, in his new volume Ola
the Amazon and the Andes, gives the
following interesting sketch Of the Capt.
tai Of Ecuador:
The authentic history Of Quito goes
back well nigh a thousand years, and d
then lost in the night Of fable. In l475,
when Columbus was dreaming Of voyng-
ing across the unknown ocean, Huayna-
Capac, the great Inca Of Peru, marched
from Cuzco a thousand miles 10 the south,
defeated the monarch Of Quito, took the
city, and made it the capital Of his great
empire. How this march could have
been performed q hardly conceivable,
for there is no reason 10 suppose that q
road Of any kind existed. The Inca do
minion lasted barely sixty years, when Il
was overthrow by the Spaniards But
in that brief period works were c0nstruc-
ted which will rank among the most stu-
pendous ever made by human hands.
Quito grew into a magnificent city. Tn
the words Of Mr.. Orion, cit was tho
worthy metropolis Of a vast empire stretch
ing from the equator 10 the desert Of Alta
cana, and walled in by the grnndost
group Of mountains IN the world. On
this lofty sight, which amidst the Alps
would be buried in an avalanche Of snow,
but within the tropics enjoys an eternal
spring, palaces more beautiful than the
Alhambra we're erected glittering with
the gold and jewels Of the Andes. But
most wonderful Of all was the great mili-
tary road, stretching along the flank 81
the Eastern Cordillera, from above Quito
to below Cuzco-well nigh fifteen hum
dred miles. From the detached portions
Of it which Humboldt saw, he felt war
ranted in prOnOuncing that II WED with
the famous Roman military roads Mr.
Orion, who travelled over q portion Of
this ancient road, says that ''it Is well
paved with blocks Of dark porphyry. il
is not graded, but partakes Of the frregu-
larity Of the country. Designed not l0r
carriages, but for troops and Llamas,
there are steps wherc the ascent Is steep"
We cannot now learn that there exist in
Quito any remains Of Inca architecture.
"All It's splendor," says Mr.. Orion,
''passed away with the scepter Of Atap-
huallpa. Where tho pavilion Of the Inca
once stood is now a gloomy convent, and
wheat-feld takes the place Of the Tenn
pie Of the Sun"
The Quito Of to-day il n dull Spanish
American city Of $4,000 inhabitants,
three-fourths Of them Indians or mixed
breed-Indian, Spanish, and negro.
There arc two or three rather imposing
public buildings, the Government House
and the Cathedral being the principal
The dwellings are low Indian huis and
houses built Of sun-dried brick, none Of
them more than two stories. 'sIhere IS
not, says Mr. Orion, "in Quit0-and
for the matter Of that, In al Ecuadof-a

lation consista Of Cholos, the oh-sprInga

blood greatly predominating, Contrary

FACTS ABOUT FLORIDA.
Do'cn Among the Orange Blossoms of the
Sunny South.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Florida is entering upon bright and
durable career of prosperity. Its seduc-
tons of climate and attractive productions
need but to be known to invite population
and capital. Already the work of devel-
opment has begun in earnest.
The mean temperature for 20 years has
been 50 degrees 50 minutes. The. the
mometer rarely falls below 40 degrees or
rises above go degrees, while from AZ in
January to "a in August is the average
This makes temperature of remarkable
eveness. 1t is also very dry. 1t suits
every disease but the bilious. For inva-
lids it is delightful and recuperative.
The crops are diversified. The sugar
cane and fruit crops are perhaps the best.
1t will raise as fine cane as Louisiana
Cotton, peas, sweet potatoes, corn, and
all grow finally. Timber is lavishingly
plentiful. In Jacksonville, sawed lum-
Der, suitable for building, sells at "a per
1000. Building is very cheap, and liv-
ing easy. 1t is as fruit country, how
ever, that Florida is to become noted
She is the tropical section of this union,
and the variety and excellence of her
fruits are marvellous. Already the orange
production is leaping into magnificent
prominence. Fortunes have been made
already in the last year or two in their
culture. A ready sale is found at the
groves for every sweet orange, at from
four to FIVE cents piece. The capacity
of the State for raising this delicious fruit
is simply incalculable. The interest tax
en- in the subject is enthusiastic. There
is a sort Of romance that invests the sub
ject that infects every body. The mix
ture of the poetic and beautiful idea of
sweet orange groves and the tempting
golden fruit, with the practical value as
an investment, constitutes an irresistible
combination. An orange grove of ten
acres yields yearly an income of So, 600,
with little trouble. But it is not alone
this charming fruit that Florida can raise.
In thorough excellence she grows lemons,
lines, citrons, gauvas, bananas, pineap-
Piles, jujuibe, plums, figs, prunes, tama-
rinds, olives, dates, ounces, peaches,
grape, berris, etc. Her bananas cannot
be surpassed. The truth is that Florida
can be made the inexhaustible supplier OF
every delightful tropical fruit for this con-
tinent, and there is money in it to the en-
terprising. ~

nrisiaI Flowers.

In this country orange flowers are worn
by bride on her wedding-day, simply as
an ornament, and signifying nothing in
particular, except that she is a bride. In
France, however, it is matter Of much
Importance, inasmuch as it is a testimon-
ial of purity, not Gully of the bride her
self, but Of integrity and morality in the
character Of her relatives. In the prov
ince of Franche Comte its adornpent is
considered a sacred right, obtained by I'M
doubted character, and as such proudly
maintained. Should any act of impru-
dence in early life implying even a suspi-
cion of faint upon the chastity of the
maiden be known, the use Of the orange
blossom is forbidden; indeed, should the
female attempt to wear it on the occasion
of her marriage, she would be encounter
ed at the church door by the village lads,
violently seized, and the emblem Of puri-
ty degradingly torn from her hair. Nor
would the ceremony be suffered to pro
coed until all trace Of the flower thus
profaned had disappeared from her per-
son. In almost every village or small
town in France the bride entitled TO wear
the crown of orange blossoms has the
beautiful certificate of her purity either
framed or placed under glass shade; and
it is religiously preserved, If possible,
even through generations, as an indisput-
able testimonial of undoubled character.
The mother of natural child never dares
assume not only the orange blossom
crown, but even the white dress and veil,
upon her wedding day, the habiliments
being considered to belong only to the
pure. Should such an attempt be made,
the most bitter ridicule, the most unmer-
ciful sarcasms, would accompany her and
her unfortunate husband to the alter.
