up grepulS exhibition Of the citrus

agents to tAvel through the different
counties tdselect such fruit as are
worthy ofhotice. We have seen
fruit that He feel confident will beat

Fairs, but hespeople who have them
are too ,suIine or unambitious to take
them. therl Even heavy premiums
will not eAice them to do 80. We
want to arrive at the truth and know
which arebur best fruit and where
they are grown. The Exhibition
should tale place in December, say
ChristmasReek. 1t will pay the Fair

ally. AnSrange tree will not bear
the same 4nit every year. One sea-
son it maybe first rate and at another
it may be inferior. al ave would like
Mr.. Jones of Homassassa to have
made an exhibit this year at the State

lead people to suspect something
and it will not be fair to COM
pare fruit-of former years with those
then on exhibition.

The Early Vegetable Industry.

We have found that in most cases
where failures have been made in
growing early vegetables for the
northern'hatkets that the people who
lose have been most to blame by
their own careleSsness or ignorance.
There are many people in Colum.
bia and Alachua counties who make
money by it every year, for they plant
early, ship early, pack carefully and
know when to STOP as the market
gets glutted. The novices do not
prepare the and..early enough, they
plant after they see their neighbors'
crops growing, pack carelessly and
will insist on shipping after there is
no chance, whatever, of getting re-
munerative prices. Much loss has
arisen from the dishonesty of the
agents, it is true, but there are some
honest men among them, and people
who ship should be careful to whom
they confde their crops. They
must, however see that their own
road is clear before they find fault
with and condemn the pathway of
their nelghbors. The time is now
approaching for planting out stuff
for market. Is your land well pre-
pared and fertilized? Have you pro-
cured your seeds and from reliable
seedsmen? One failure in this re-
spect will throw you back whole

The Warrior Wasp.

1t is curious that in. the Isle of
France, the common bee is not to be
found as native of the woods, while
in the Isle Of Bf0agham, it is COM
mon, and furnishes an abundance of
wax and honey. This is explained
by surprising that the warriors about
whom we are about to speak, destroy
the bees, and have thus prevented
their multiplying in the island in
question. Truly, like the banditti of
whom we read in books, these wasps
are splendidly attired, although not
on the spoils of those whom. they
have robbed. Their head, chest and
body is of a .resplendent lustre now
green, or, seen in another position,
blue, and glistening with all the lus-
tire of an exquisite varnish. Their
antennse are black, their eyes Of q
brownish yellow, and their legs part
Iy bronze colored and partly of q
beautiful violet. They are strong
and swift of wing, aud are possessed
of a terrible lance, the thrust of which
even men cannot endure without far
more pain and inflammation than at
tends an ordinary sting. The foe
with whom these magni6cent1y
dressed warriors have to contend is
kind of insect allied to the cock
roach, which IN our kitchen has &C.
quired the incorrect title of "black
beetle" This insect is detested by
;the inhabitants of the island, for its
ravages upon almost everything of
value Or delicacy, and is not less
hated by the sailors for its destruct-
veness on shipboard. It is called
Kakerlac, and is much larger than
cockroaches. which are the plague
and terror of our cooks Imagine
that one of these great, old, odious
insect is creeping along the highway.
The warrior wasp has also been max
ing his expeditions for prey abroad,
when suddenly his eager eye catches
sight of the kakerlac fastening to
some new scene of depreciation.
The warrior instantly alights, and
the kakerlac stops, thinking perhaps
to intimidate its adversary by its size
and ierocious aspect. Both insects
glance at each other. The wasp is
the first to attack, and darts upon
the other, selling it by the muzzle
with its strong jaws, then bending its
body so as to bring its tail under the
abdomen of the kakerlac. The lance
with it's charge of poison, is deaplY
plunged into the body Of the unhap-
py foe, imbuing deadly venom into
its system. Having made his thrust
the warrior loosens the foe and scars
in triumph little way into the air,
satisfied Of a successful issue. The
kakerlac, after a few briet commissions
lies paralyzed on the ground, unable
to stir step from the spot where it
encountered its adversary. Fully
aware of this, the vicious wasp, after
taking a few turns, as if to proclaim
the downfall of the giant kakerlac
to the surrounding neighborhood, re.
turns to the scene where the conflict
was fought The kakerlac, unable
to resist the victor, and being natu-
rally, though great devourer, a very
faint hearted creature, lies immovabie
while the wasp seizes the PROSTATE
foe by the head. and in sort of tri-
umphal march, drags it along the road
to its nest.

Columbia and Alachua counties have
about 10 days start over southern
Georgia and for that time they can
command the market and therein
lies their profit. But is southern
Florida going to remain still and see
this valuable industry monopolized
by one or two counties not q whit
more favorably situated than this 2

why cannot others do so too? Irish
potatoes are not profitable crop to-
plant for shipment at this time OF
the year. They come in at the time
when the markets are filed with
Bermuda potatoes. March is the
time for us to plant them, for the
crop then comes in about the first of
June when Bermudas are gone and
the northern crop not yet in. But
the people here can plant English
peas, radishes, snap beans, cucum-
bers, and tomatoes in January, the
usual time in Columbia being Febru-
airy. 1t is seldom that there lis any
cold weather: ia these two first
months TO do injury. About the mid
die of March we get the last cold
snap. of the season and that must be
guarded against. Many products
may be gathered between now and
then. and be the first 10 the market.
Florida are now equal ) those from
Alachua. There is fdirect steam
communication to New York with
only one handling on the way. We
save, also, the :jolting on the cars and.
the confinement in close cars which
is serious damage to the vegetables
in trGasstu. The business is large
enough for all parts Of the State to
participate in.'A'We have not only.
the east but there is the great west |
with its hundreds. of cities, all glad
to get Florida early fruit and vege-
tables. .sf{t
Those who have lost must not be
discouraged, they have only been
buying experience. and that is the
only secret of success. Five or six
years!ago, it was said, that Irish po-
tatoes would not do here, and with
good reason, for people were making
themva Sumtner crop instead of a
Winter one. Now we can raise as
good potatoes as any other place.
At the same time strawberries were
condemned, and for the same reason.
One man who had been failing with
his strawberry crop, at last got dis
gusted and sold his plants to another
man who has been eminently success
full in their culture. Condemn moth
ing because you have made first or
even second failure, consider and see
if the fault does not lie in your hay
ing planted at the wrong season or
in the wrong way.

New York, Aug. 1.-Henry Smith, a
policeman Of Jersey City, with his wife
retired Wednesday night at II O'Clock,
and at A o'clock next morning Mrs.
Smith awoke to find her husband dead
with his skull crushed. He had been
murdered in his sleep, and it appears
the assassins first chloroformed both
husband and wife, as the deed was per-
petrated without Mrs. Smith knowing
anything about it. Mrs. Smith says
she was awakened at 3:16 a. m. by her
husband throwing his hand over her
face, and she discovered a handkerchief
on her face, which had peculiar
flavor. She removed the handkerchief,
and turning towards her husband,
noticed that both pillows covered his
head and body. These she removed,
and saw pool Of blood under him,
which had also saturated her own
clothing. This she said was the first
intimation she had of the commission
of crime. The handkerchief which
Mrs. Smith says covered her face is
missing. Chief Nathan ordered her
arrest, and close watch is kept upon
her movements. Officer Smith was
one of four brothers, one of whom is a
member of the Board of Aldermen of
Jersey City, and one is a conductor on
the N. ]. Central railroad.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-This after
noon Henry Droge, German grocery
man shot and killed his wife at his res
idence, and in presence Of his sister and
her husband, with whom Mrs. Droge
had taken up residence on account Of
Droge's Incorporate habits. Droge,
after killing his wife, blew his OWL
brains out. The act was due to Mrs
Droge's refusal to return to her hus
band. The murdered woman is an
American and the mother of thret
young children.
