Would Lime Improve Old Orange
Trees?

Several years ago we noticed fact
which might be of interest to orange
culturists. Some old neglected orange
trees were standing in yard where
work was going on upon new house.
The fruit of the trees had been very
poor in quality, and the trees them
selves looked sickly and feeble. One
of the mortar watts stood near an or
apge tree where the waste water, satu-
rated with lime, escaped about the
roots. All of the trees were well sup
piled with water by irrigation, so that
the mere supply of water from the
vat could make no difference. After
month or two this tree began to
manifest an increased vigor, the leaves
larger, of deeper color and the bark of
the tree cleaner and healthier. The
fruit that year and for one or two SUBJ
sequent years was the largest and
finest in the lot. What worked the
revolution in the general health of
that especial tree, while the other trees
in the yard remained as before? Was
it the lime? Was there supplied from
the mortar vat an element of growth,
plant food which had become ex-
haNsted in the soil? The idea sug-
gested might be worth the trouble of
an experiment among orchardists. 1t
is long established fact that lime is
one of the principal plant foods in
soils, and in older countries is used
freely as q fertilizer. The tree men,

Culture and Preparation OF the
Citron.

Among the many possible industries
of Southern California the culture of
the citron and the preparation of the
fruit for the market certainly deserve
attention. The United States imports
every pound of the preserved dried
citron so familiar to all confectioners
and housekeepers. 1t is an article
always commanding a high price.
The amount consumed in any one To-
cality is of course small, yet the ag-
.gregate consumption of the whole
country is by no means insignificant.
A large amount Of money is yearly
sent to the borders of the Mediter-
ranean for this one import. Why not
bring that money here The trouble
is that with so many possible indus
tries we overlook these things. Who
is familiar with the process Of preserv-
ing and preparing the citron? Will
not some one publish his knowledge
of the steps necessary? The great
difficulty seems to be, where it has
been tried in families, to get rid of the
intense bitterness of the rind. There
are many varieties of the citron; is
the citron growing here one of a bitter
variety, and are there other kinds free
from this objection If this is the
true citron of commerce what is the
process needed to free the fruit from
this Objectionable feature? If it is
not the best variety of the citron or
only a bastard citrOn, Will not some of
our nursery men try to obtain the true
plant for general culture ? Or have
we already with this bitter variety,
Others of the more desirable kinds.
We ask for information, hoping
reply. Anything upon this subject
will be gladly published. = !.

IN THE MIST. .
BY S. A. WIDNEY

In the mist I've grown weary cropping,
In a mist as dark as night
And my heart has wearied hoping
To find one ray of light
I'm weary, weary, trying,
In the mist to find my way;
! have wearied ever watching ..t...-
For the beams of coming day. gi18
In the mist I've been ever longing
Some guiding song to hear;
But no sound thro' the mist, c'er thick'ning,
Has come to my listening ear.
The tide ever falls and rises,
Bestless flows in and out;
And the tide and its ceaseless changes
Have drifted me idly about 4
have prayed in vain for the morning
To come, but it never hath ..-.r
While the mist has been ever thick'nin
And deep'ning around my path. rrIi
Owhen will the beams of the daylight
Fall cheering my pathway upon?
o when will the clouds of this mist-night
Give place to the mornings clear dawn?
Owhen will the mists that now thicken
Dissolve in the light Of the day, N
And the folds of this dark mystic curtain
Lift up and reveal me my way?
q 8
Through the mist the light of the morning
as breaking, and clearing the sky, fI
And the day for which I've been longing
Is rapidly drawing a-nigh. ...
The clouds are now swiftly dissolving;
The dark of the midnight is DER, ..
And guiding sounds come to me, waiting
From afar, to guide me to shore. ..,,.
The tide is now rapidly rising,
Flowing more swiftly and strong,
And the waves, now swiftly in-fiowing,
Are drifting me shoreward along.
The clouds break now up; the mist curtain
Is getting now ever more thin;
The beams ofthe daylight now brighten,
Light and more light breaking in.
The sky is now glowing, and broken
The clouds by the noon of the day;
And the folds of the curtain have risen,
Revealing me clearly my way.

Summers Example to Public Men.

Mr.. Beecher began a sermon last
evening on the death of Charles Sum-
ner with these words: "The greatest
gift of God to nation is upright men
for magistrates, statesmen, and rulers.
That republic is poor, although every
wind may watt to it the richest stores,
that is not governed by noble men.
Signs of government decay show
themselves sooner than anywhere else
in the men who govern. When rul-
ers seek the furtherance Of their own
ends, when laws and the whole frame
work OF government are only so many
instruments of wrong, the nation can
not be far from decadence.n
During nearly an hour Mr.. Beecher
outlined the growth, evils, and down
fall of slavery, praising the work of
the leaders of the early abolition move-
ment, and coming at last to speak of
Summers brave and answering fidel-
ity to the cause. "He died at the
right place. he said. "He died some
what later than the right time. Had
he passed away three years ago not one
ray would have been lost, and MANY
shadows would have been avoided.
Yet to-day the whole nation mourns
him. He was cut off from kindred.
No son or daughter mourns beside his
collin; but down o million dusky
cheeks tears are rolling. He has lived
well. He has died well. He Joined
himself to whatever was best in his
time, and now he is with God. ~
He was not vermin statesman, who
looked upon his country as carcass
from which he could draw blood. He
held official place unsullied. Once he
naively said, People speak of Wash
ington as being corrupt. 1 have lived
there many years, and / have seen nc
corruption And he had not. Nc
corruption dared to approach him. He
is an example of personal integrity
an example much needed. He has
shown that disinterestedness is moi
incompatible with public life. There
are not many such men. Y. Sun

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 3lst.
Proceedings in bankruptcy were in
stituted to-day against "A. & w.
Sprague, manufacturing company, by
the National Bank of Commerce. The
announcement caused great excite
ment. Stockholders of the bank rep
resenting twelve thousand shares
urged the directors to withdraw the
suit, but so far they have been unsuc-
cessful. Chaffee, trustee of the COM
pany, appeals to the creditors to stop
the proceedings, which will throw from
twelve,to fifteen thousand persons out
of employment and cause great injury
to the creditors themselves. He as
sures them that the company, if not
interfered with, will be able to dis
charge every dollar of their obliga-
tions.

INDIAN WATTEEN.

1t is very apparent that the Sioux
and some other Indians intend to be
troublesome this summer. Of this the
Government is well convinced and is
maxim. the necessary preparations to
meet the exigcncy. We learned yes
tcrtlay that some Eannacks who had
come through Flatliead Pass from
points below tic Yellowstone, and are
now at Gallatin City, report that there
were cheap Sioux coming this way"
They were evidently alarmed, and be-
]. we'd that ii was dangerous for them
TO remain below. From various Indian
sources it is aScartaincd that the Sioux
will soon lie on the war-patll, and
there is no doubt that large portion
Of the hostile tribes have come up i'll
this direction. The military autl,ori-
ties al Cheyenne and Laramie, we
learn, tcics 1aphcd the Indian Agents
in this section to Ec Cn the look out
for Sioux war parties. DR.. Wright,
Agent Of the Crows. has been so in
etr,lctcd. In view Of this condition Of
affair.", it is hoped the Government
will speedily increase the military
force here and at other points III Mon
tana, so that the people may be pro.
tcctc,l from the inyasions Of murder
Gus bands Of Indians. Our own citizens
should also be on the alert and be
prepared fer raids. It would be good
plan for each ne;ghbor.lood to organ
ize colspanies to be ready in case Of
any trouble. We 10 not desire to ere
a.e needless alarm, but there is ~aftty
IL being prepared.
