manufactured goods within the last three
months than during any corresponding
quarter since 1873. And what is true of
Manchester is, to greater or less extent,
true as to other centres Of production.
Within the last three years the impor-
tations Of goods to this country have been
greatly reduced, as compared with expor-
tations, and the balance of trade, which
had for long period ruled against us, is
now unquestionably in our favor. We
have been using up our old stocks, wear
ing out our old clothes, as it were, and
learning from that hard teacher, expert
ence, the economy which is necessary to
our recuperation. This done, we are far
better prepared, as people, to encounter
the difficulties which naturally beset us in
fighting life's battle than we were before
the era of prostration commenced,
Though the ordeal has been irving it
must ultimately prove salutary, for truth
to say, the demoralizations and extrava-
gances consequent upon the war could
not be efectually corrected without that
shrinkage of inflated estimates and reduc-
ton of artificial requirements which i'm
press the average human being only in
seasons Of adversely.
Our furnaces are now being rekindled,
our mills restarted, and our long Ian
trade begins to feel the invigor-
ating impulse Of healthy home demand.
These are all cheering omens. They give
token Of returning prosperity, sufi-
GENTLY far-reaching to favorably affect |
every vital interest Of our country. II |

The person who suffered by the anarchy
in 1871 and lS72-the merchants and busi-
ness men-instead of laying the blame at
the door of the anarchists who caused the
situation, played into the hands Of the in
triguing politicians, and denounced the gov
eminent OF Juarez. The same events have
gone around in the small circle of four
years. The same anarchists are at their
work OF destruction and the same uercan-
tile and business men are again, playinq
into the hands Of The political intriguers by
complace,atIy ignoring the Osstrages upon the
peace and prosperity of the country and I'M.
posing all their condemnation upo,e the goy-
ernmcnt Of President Lerdo.
We leave this extract upon the mind of
the reader. He may compare for himself
the condition of the two countries. There
will be found the SAME bounties Of nature
to the two countries, with the same indif-
ference to their development; the same
motives for harmony, with the same en-
nifty and distraction Of parties; the same
class of indolent and intolerant agitators,
with business interest willing to con-
ciliate the forbearance of these agitators
by contributing money to their purposes,
attributing business troubles to Repub-
hcan mismanagement and even in expect
ing relief from the administration of the
agitators, who have never given proof Of
any ability to manage anything to the
public advantage. We only hope for
Louisiana the same happy issue out of her
political troubles which has left the Re-
publican President of Mexico the ability
to reinstate order and revive the moral
and industrial progress Of the republic Of |
Mexico.

Something about Oranges.

Oranges, which are now SO plenty and
so cheap that even the poorest are not
forbidden to enjoy their sweet and juicy
flavor, were quite unknown to Europe
ans a little more than three centuries
ago.
1t is said that the very first orange
tree ever planted on European soil may
still be seen, gnarled, and old, and
barren, in one of Inc gardens at Lisbon.
From this patriarchal tree how many
have descended, and are scattered and
flourishing over tle southern half of the
continentl
This orange tree came from China.
The pips from which 1t grew were brought
with great care from the Asiatic land by
Portuguese, and planted in his own
country. Now oranges are grown all
over Spain and Portugal, in the Medlter-
ranean islands, in Southern Italy, and
ali along the northern coast of Africa,
as we'll as in the islands of the Carib-
bean, in our own Gulf States, and in
Central and South America. IL is said
that oranges grow most pientilully in
that part OF what we call the "Holy
Land" lying round about Jaffa. and on
The road from that seaport to Jerusalem.
In a climate favorable to its growth,
the orange tree yields its fruit with
marvellous abundance. Twenty thou
sand oranges have been plncked from a
single tree at thelIsland OF st. Michael's.
The sweetest and richest of all oranges
are those which grow in China. and
which need almost no care or culture.
The blood-red oranges come mainly from
the island of Malta.
There are many oranges, Of curious
shape and flavor, which we seldom or
never see in this country. Such are the
pear-shaped kind, grown in the far East; !;
the orange Of the Philippines, which Is
double orange, in which two perfect
oranges appear, one within the other,
and the Fingered citron" OF China,
which is very large, and is placed on the
table by the Celestiais rather for its
exquisite fragrance than for its favor.

Remarkable Twin Brothers Who
Were Born in Different Years.

Residing at Crescent, Saratoga county,
are Two old men, hale and hearty. They
are twin brothers, and yet, strange to
say, the birthday OF one comes in the
present year, that Of the other not until
next year. one of them coming into the
world on New Years. eve, and The other
on New Years morning. These old
men are in their 745h year. Their names
are q. G. j. Lansing aud Vandenberg
Lansing. One, whom MS brother iau sh-
ingly terms ''the eldest" has retired
from business with "a competency, and
the other is still engaged in the active
pursuit OF lie, and claims to be able 10

other remarkable feature about these
brothers is tnat, weighing as they now
do, nearly 203 pounds ayolrdupoIs each,

nShnt the Door,"

The Buffalo Courier tells the following
story:
Yesterday afternoon a very well-bred
and exceedingly dignitied young lady OF
this city entered fUrisIs to make
purchase, when she was accosted as fol-
lows by shrill voice resembling that of
an aged lady:
"Shut the door; don't you know any
better9 Ils cold outsidel'
Very much overcome with mortifica-
tion and embarrassment, she looked
about for the speaker, saying
Pardon me, madam, but the wind
blew 50 could hardly close the door,"
"Well, mind your eye miss, and don't
do il again." repeated the voice, when
to helAgreat astonishment, The young
lady discovered that she mad been con-
yersing with a well-educated aud eer-
lainly very familiar poll-parrOt.
Evidently annoyed ut tue bird for de-
celying her so, the young lady turned
her back to the cage, aud was intent on
eXamInlng some flowers. Suddenly the
same voice, or what seemed to be, said
TO ner--
"W hat can do for you, miss3"
OF you hold your tongue L shall be

young miss, turning round as sue spoke,
and discovering the lady proprietor
standing in her presence.

The Hunters Paradise.
[FOrest and Stream Corresponaence.

tForesC ana StreaM Corfesponuence.l
T. Interior Florida is the true hunters
paradise, In which every form of animal
life, of earth, air and water ply hoof,
wing and fin. High over head bald
eagles circle, uttering from time TO time
their sarill, startling screams; huge blue
herons fly slowly along; fish hawks
perch on the branches of old dead
Expresses, ready to dart ON their finny
prey, with which the waters below fairly
TEEN.
Great crowned cranes and gannets
stalk in the pools and shadows; focks
of bright-winged par oquets fit through
the forests with discordant cries; mock
ing birds build their nests near the set
tiers cabins; and all our Northern birds
make their winter homes and sing their
songs in the hGsnmocks; In the tall
marsh grass the rice birSs utter their
tinkling call 40 they weave their breeze
rocked nests.
The tall sand-hill cranes march through
the high pine land, but SO wary and shy
that 1t tests the skill OF the best of hun.

cats, wolves and panthers skulk X. the
depths Of the hammocks. Occasionally

over the sayannas and through the pine

GEN. KILPATRICK has been writing let
ters to the New York Times in vindica-
tion Of Gen. 'Sherman's memorable ''ne-
moirs" as against the previous 'criti-
cisms of Gen. Boynton. And now Boyn-
ton goes for Fitzpatrick himself in the

rick's own reports to dlsprove what Kill
patrick has written about Gen. McPher-
sons ''timidity" at Dalton. 1t strikes
us, on perusal of tho documents that
Boynton produces, that fitzpatrick will
now have quite as difficult job to get
himself out Of the scrape as he had in
attempting to write up Gen. Sherman
out OF his numerous dilemmas.

Jute and Ramie

1t has been demonstrated by careful
experiment that the tibrous plants jute
and ramie will grow wherever cotton
does, with no great labor, furnishing
cloth that has the beauty of silk with
but 1.-THE of the cost. The difficulty
mas been that the fiber of neither the
jute nor ramie could be separated from
the bark by hand as in Asia. The Phil
adelphia North American states that q
process, combining acids with machin-
cry, has lately been discovered, by
which the separation can be performed
for one-hfth the Asiatic price. Ii this
announcement is true, the South may
add very great sum to its revenues at
once; and the factories of the country,
continuing all their employment on cot
ton and wool, viii be obliged to furnish
many markets with jute cordage and
bagging, cheaper ana better than hemp
or fax. and with the inexpensive sub
stitutes for silk that are furnished by
ramie.-[St. Louis Journal OF Commerce.

along with such food as she had cooked,
and then proceeded to make the tea,
wondering all the while if there was any
way to regain possession oil the money,
and dTeading her husbands anger and
dlsmay on his return should she fail to
do SO.
AS she took the tea-canister from the
pantry shelf she cau.ht sight of bottle
labeled ''arsenic." Her husband had
purchased it on the preceding day, in or
der to destroy the rats.
Here was the chance of relief, and she
seized it eagerly. Opening the bottle,
she put few grains into the teapot along
with the tea, of which she gave good
measure, in order to destroy the taste of
the arsenic.
A few minutes later the robbers were
sitting at the table unconsciously sip
ping their death.
.'They may kill me-" mused the faith
ful wife, "'but the money will be found
and my husbands honor sayed.0
After a few minutes, one by one the
robbers complained of being sick.

started towards her, revolver in hand /;
but he fell ere he reached her.
"Jane," exclaimed the third, "you
have saved the money, but you have

How strangely familiar sounded the
voicel Forgetting all her old fears in
the new, Mrs. Jacobs sprang forward
and knelt by the side of the dying man.
None tried 10 harm her now, for all We're
powerless to do SO.
She pulled the disguise-a hideous
negro face, with large grinning mouth
| from the face OF the speaker. One look
then came scream which echoed
through the house like peal OF thun-
der. The dying man was her own hus-

But little more remains to be told OF
the sad story. The money was pre-
served, but the heroic woman is a
maniac, raYing in an asylum over the
murder OF her husband.

A LIEUTENANT CAMERON, is just now
tionized in Europe because of his having
made the journey across the Continent
of Africa, from Zanzibar on the Eastern
coast to Loando on the Atlantic. He
was accompanied by fifty-seven men,
being the whole number with whom he
set out. Not one was lost. The Journey
occupied about six months, from May to
November. 1t is presumed that import
ant geographical information was OBJ
tanned; but, from the statements thus
far given, we fail to see any evidence of
any material information gained. The
chief item is the simple fact of the transit
across that unexplored continent. This,
to be sure, is an exploit OF no mean
significance, as it demonstrates the ex-
plorability of those unknown regions in
the interior of that continent.

THE Library OF Congress is getting to
be something enormous. From the res
port of the Librarian we learn that the
number of volumes now in the library
are 293, 507; an increase during the past
year of 10, $50 volumes. In the Law De-
partment there are 34,5l6 volumes. In
addition to the books, enumerated as
volumes, there are 10000 pamphlets.
The number of volumes received last
year under tthe law Of copyright
amounted to 6,062, which means that
there were that many new works copy
righted in the United States last year.
The Librarian is vigorously begging
Congress for more room.
