The Gardens OF Morocco.

The groves of rose trees and the flower
! farms of Morocco are said, by a recen
traveller, to exceed in extent and value
those Of Damascus, ar even those Of the
valley Of Mexico. The general climate Of
the country is very favorable to this kind
Of culture. Swept alternately by the
breezes OF the Atlantic and Mediterranean,
aad tempered by the SHOWS Of the Atlas
range the degree of heat in Moroce is
much lower than in Algeria, while tie
soil is exceedingly fertile. To the date,
palm, orange and lemon trees the climate
appears to be especially suited, the dates of
Talifat having been famous even from Ro-
man times The orange plantations are of
great extent in various parts of the country,
while olives and almonds are also staples
exported in large quantities. Seeing that
this fertile land, within five days steam of
London, produces so much vegetable
wealth under the most barbarous cultiva-
ton, it appears very strange that CONNER
cial enterprise does not, in such a climate,
seek the proftuble employment for its ever
abundant capital in its application to de-
yelop such vast resources.

reckham, council for people the in Tweet
suits, that gentleman stated that notwith
standing Tweed's escape, he intended tt
prosecute the civil suits just % though
tweed was still in custody. The crimira
suit will however have to be suspended
Mr.. Peckham said he was not surprised Al
weeds escape, his only wonder was thai
1t did not happen earlier. Tweed had besr
allowed all sorts of liberties. He was, he
said,
NOT SURPRISED
at any exhibition Of corruption of our OIL
eials. All the papers ed.torially to-day are
loud in denunciation of Sheriff Connor fol
his gross and culpablc negligence. The
Sheriff is liable to the State for the full
amount of pecuniary damages, which may
be sustained in the suits against Tweed, but
his official bonds are for only $4,000. The
Herald says, "The escape Of Tweed is the
GROWING shame of long series of disgraces
Nothing new could excel this In infamy but
the failure of police to retake him. Tweed
must be retaken or. American Justice will be
the laughing stock of the world.
TwEED's WEALTH.
Snow, there is another circumstance of
some interest-indeed, of more than ordi-
nary Importance in connection with the pre-
sent report that is the question of his pos
sible wealth. Some who pretend to be IA
miliar with his means say he was worth
about So 100000.
"Well, that may be- but there is one
thing that must be remembered. If he was
about the manner in which
he made money he did not hesitate to spend
it freely. Many of those whom he trusted
got him interested in schemes which really
never paid. He placed his money here,
there and everywhere, as they suggested,
and often there was no proper return for
The Investment. Many Of these were real
estate sFeculations, as, for instance, tie
Lake Mahopac Land'Improvement Compa-
ny. IT was expected that By shrewd Legis-
alton this could be made very paying in
'cstmert. Other ventures of like nature
'qually fell through"

THE MORTONSVILLE MURDER.

Dispatches from Chester, Pa, to the Phila-

doubt tend to throw some light upon the re
cent mysterious murder at Mortonsville, O.,
which mention has been before made in
these columns. The dispatches give the
following letter which has been received
by District Attorney Wanser of Chester
county:
MYERsTowN, Lebanon Co., Dec. IA.

formed me that he learned through the

murdered man found in or near Mortons-
vile q think), Chester county, with card
on his person marked "R. Blanch War

scription of the unknown murdered man,
who has been in the habit of making his
home with this little girls father. This
man Pike has not been seen in this neigh.
borhood since last October, much to the
happiness Of the inhabitants Of that place

My conversation with Mr.. Dilts was
brief The above was all l was able to
learn during the short distance We Travelled
together. He is willing to communicate

Fnother increase in the freight rates

Michigan Southern and Michigan
Railroads are, however, of the
that further advance will be dan
to the roads, as it will prevent ship
20 the east during the winter. They
IN the east to demonstrate with the

Pdvance. 1t is to be hoped that they
fceed in their efforts, and that the
1il remain as they now are-45 cents
hlcago to New York on fourth class
nd grain--which is believed to be q
rative and fair rate.
