ORANGE CULTURE in South Georgia SEE ms
to have become pretty we'll established, the
authority for the statement being the Valdosta
IlDes. The trees are now in the third year
OF their bearing, and they have maturcd their
fruit IN sweet and good condition. in nowise
differing IN quality from the much praised
Florida oranges, now the best in the northern
markets. These Georgia orange trees have
withstood the slight frost and cold of the Geor
gia climate successfully, and have not been at,
tackled by apy blight or insect. The orange
culture thus appears to be spreading along the
Gulf region Ut the Republic, the great SUCCESS
met with III Florida having induced the culture
III the other Cult States. This is largely at
trlbutable TO the extent to which the Florida
orange crop has been lnSured northern mar
ket; where 1t is now We'll established and has
proved SO reliable and popular as to have con-
SlderaDy injured the trade 10 Mculterran euu
oranges. The capacity OF Florida IN this re-
Spect Is SO great that the domestic orange crop
OF that regIou may IN time supply the whole
Amerlcau marke. But TINS result will un-
doubtedIy be fastened If the culture Shall be
excluded to others OF The Gut States on d
large scale, Tor at present the culture there Is
hunted. Inc uncertainties OF the Medlterra
neau trade, consequent upon long voyages, are
50 great that the great dealers OF the northern
cities would be glad to hud relief in a perma
neut domestic supply from Florida auu the
Gulf States. Sucn now seems to be assured.
The PRINCE OF WALES INCoME.-It is
now close Oh twelve years sluce the ''establlsh-
ment' of the present Prince took place, on bis
marriage In 1868. As is well-known, the Par.
llament added f4O, 900 year to the inherited
eco, 200 from the Duchy Of Cornwall, making
together az annual sum of sl00,0O0 The
Princess received an annuity Of 100000 ; and
there were besides the abundant savings from
the Duchy during the minority, which reached
the handsome SUN of S540, 1000. Of this
amount, 922O, 900 Was laid out IN the purchase
OF an estate at Sandringham; 100000 on
suitable outht; Ecu QUO on Il house, etc. for the
estate; while tlUU,UUU more, lt Was stated,
would be absorbed by repairs to tarmhouses
and Improvement OF farms, as they dropped
out OF lease, which would leave d balance of
about ESQ., 900 on hand. Lord PaImerstou,
Indeed, declared at the time that the working
balance would be scarcely appreciable. The
hgures, however, seem loose enough, and al
low the widest margin, especially 10 the Case
OF the tlOO,OOO tor repairs TO farm buildings,
ETC., which would be held over Till the occasion
