believed Gen. Grant to be gaining con

strengthened the desire 0f the people to

In connection with this there is h
! curious report which comes from tho

who has long had confidential relations
at tho White House. This gentleman is
authority for " statement That within "
week the President has had q very FREQ
talk with one OF his friends In regard to
tho third term question, In which the
President Is stjd to have said that, II
ut the time Of the meeting Of tho Conveh-
ton. he felt that the chances were favor
able 10 his nomination. he would certain

Appearances he felt convinced chat the
Southern delegations would be " unit
for him and that his friends In the North
would probably DO able. with this

do this no felt convinced that h6 could

to do SO. After further conversation
the President said that In this last con.
tingency the person nomineted would
be ono who had not yet been prom
inently considered in connection with
the nomination.
Recalling the names OF prominent
candidates, he said that us TO Mr.. Blaine,
while there WINS some little probability
Of his nomination, his lGrants)
strength would not be thrown for him.
Senator Morton would not receive It,

In reply he said that least " all who

as very remote by the President, while

FLORIDA ORANGES. In various parts Of
Florida, south IT latitude 30 degrees, es-
pecially along tbt Vt. John IS and Indian
rivers, there IRE immense groves of wild
oranges. Bhrtram, In his "Travels,"
mentions having seen In 1863, near Mos.
quito inlet, n ridge about half mile
wide and forty miles long, which WINS
one dense orange grove, interspersed
with magnolas and few other trees.
SO thoroughly established Is the tree,
and SO generally is 1t distributed, that
many have supposed it 10 be Indigenous
but botanists who have investigated
the matter regard It Ms mn instance OF
remarkable naturalization, and the trees
ag having descended from those which
hre known to have been introduced by
the early Spanish colonists.
This wild orange Is bitter, often called
IN FlOrldh the bttter~sWeGt, and SO OK
ceediugly fruitful that u tree in full
bearing h mn object of great beauty.
Tho wild orange furnishes stock on
which to bud other varieties. and the
fruit Is used 10 make marmaIade. In
Florida there IRE three methods of Co.
tablishing nm orange grove. To clear
up u wild grove, removing NIL the trees
not needed, and budding with sweet
fruit those that remain; to take up
young wild trees, and set them in pre-.
pared ground and there bud them and |
to raise stock from seed, bud them In |
nursery rows and when Of sufficient
size set them In the plantation, a. IL |
practiced with other fruit. Each method |
has It's advocates, but IL Is probable that |
the last named, though apparently slow |
or, gives ultimately better SUCCESS.
The New Hampshire election has |
every prospect Of being interesting and |
close. Both parties have put excellent
men In the field. Gov. Cheney, whom |
the Republicans have nominated, has
made an admirable Governor, and goes
before the people with an admirable |
record as his chief backing. The Hon.
Daniel Marcy, the Democratic nominee,
must be ~ rurf. man for the yuraf r,.rfj
