the spirit of the law bearing on this
matter With all his influence and
persistence, however, he failed repeat
eddy to get the claim allowed.
It was rejected first by Quartermaste,
General Rucker, then by Secretary
Stanton, and finally by the Court OF
Claims. Mr.. Hendricks then tried to
get a bill through Congress paying the
amount, but this, too, was a failure.
Finally, after having pressed the matter
in every possible way for nearly two
years, Belknap became Secretary of
War, and Hendricks, whose term of
office had by this time expired, got him
to reopen the case, got a report in favor
OF it from William Mckee Dunn, and
so succeeded in getting the amount
paid. al la - a5
The history of this transaction
reminds one in some respects of that
OF the Kentucky Central Railroad, for
which Mr.. Pendleton appeared as the
agent. Like their claim, this was sew
eral times rejected under the honest
administration of Mr.. Stanton; like
that, it was re opened, through The
influence of leading Democratic
politician, after Mr.. Belknap came
into the office; like that, moreover, it
was favorably reported on by
William Mckee Dunn, and promptly
paid upon the order of William W.
Belknap., Curiously enough, General
Dunn's report in favor of Hendricks
claim follows, upon the record, the re-
port of the same officer upon the Pen

cit appears that Mile. Mercus, the
young lady who is playing the part of
Joan of Arc IN II herzegovina, is of Dutch

of age, Of diminutive stature, dark,
and not handsome. She has squander-
ed away the greater part of a large for

dreams; nevertheless she is still in pos

pounds sterling. Her first fancy was to

be our Saviour's tomb. The temple,
which cost G14,OOO still exists. Mile.

Gently gave 81 200 for the purchase of

the money suddenly disappeared, and
nothing further had been heard of
him. This extraordinary lady is not
admired here, having supported the
Paris Commune and approved Of the
Archbishop's assassination. She spends
her time running after battlefield adj
ventures wherever they are to be en-
countered, and, if public rumor be cor
rect, is rather compared to Lola Monies
than to the Maid of Orleans" I

The Florida Orange Mania.

A correspondent writing from st.
Johns river, Florida, says,
We discussed with our travelling COM
panions that all-absorbing topic, orange
culture. Go where you will-jnto the
kitchen, the parlo-, the steamboat or
the railroad car-you hear it. Men,,
women and children ace alike feverish
over it. We have not the least doubt
N the world that tie babies up in

out upoh their hands and knees and
plant the seeds of the ORANGE that has
been given them TO SUCK. Every body
is crazy over the orange tree. Young
men Of twen,y-one talk over the in
come of millionaire to be reaped
at thirty. Old men Of sixty plant
orange trees with as mucn hope Of
gathering fruit and Teaping rich re-
ward as they miGht have had when
they were thirty. A strange infatuation

decided to do wi,nout clothes, eat

the biggest insane asylum the world
orange culture-unless a nipping frost
comes along, as it did in 1869, and
ships them close to the ground. The
efficacy of the cure is then doubtful
Says Judge Bryson, Of Hawkinsville,
40 was showing Us through his grove
of thirty acres, located on the St. Johns.
After the frost of 80 I said : the
orange tree was failure, and I'd have
nothing more to do with it, What
ever the decision Of the Judge, wise or
otherwise, the trees started up aga;l,
and are now fine, healthy bearing trees.
We took our first lesson last year of
the relation that the orange bears to
quantity, from huge apronful pulled
from these trees. Three times was an
offer Of $4,000 made for the grove,
which modest sum the Judge refused
to take. We saw one orange tree, not
there though, Seeding, not nine
years old, That bore 1,5CO oranges. We
had an authentic report of another
Seeding, fifteen years old that bore
5000 oranges. The fabulous prices
offered for bearing groves and the pro-
life yield, is what is tempting men to
sink their bottom dollar. Reader,
should you ever come to Florida, take
the advice of one who has becorne a
victim, and stay out of an orange
grove, for SO sure as you pull an
orange from the tree or snuff the per-
fun from the blossom, you are an in
durable case.
