London, March IA dispatch from
Con tantinople says: The provincial gov
ernors have been ordered to send here
promptly both old and newly enlisted re-
cruits.
A Vienna correspondent says Russia does
not contest the right Of the congress to de-
eide what clauses Of the treaty involves
European interests. England demands that
the congress shall have power TO discuss all
clauses. Neither power seems disposed to
give way. Thus, unless a 20 promise ia
arranged, fresh difficulties and not formal
ones merely NAV arise, causing delay, if
nothing worse. Italy and Germany, while
asserting in principle to the admission of
Greece to the congress, think the congress
should formally decide the matter. Austria
comedies but is willing to have the matter
decided before the meeting, if the question
of the admission of the vassal states is not
thereby prejudiced.
A Paris correspondent reports that Ser via
has formally claimed admission to the con-
gress.
1t is now certain that England has unre-
eervedly adhered to the French proposal for
investigation into the financial affairs Of
Egypt and the administrative reforms. No
body will oppose England's freeing Egypt
from vassalage if shs acts in accord with
the other powers. All the powers have
agreed that the question Of Egypt, Syria,
Tunis and the holy places can only be raised
at the congress with the consent of France
and within the limits she prescribes.
A special from St. Petersburg announces
the arrival of Gen. Ignatief and R-ouf
pasha.

A Cheap Fruit Dryer.

} A correspondent writing from
Shelby county, Tennessee, having at
heart the good of a large class of
farmers who cannot afford tie luxury
of patent dryers for the preserving
of fruit for home consumption, risks
being laughed at by the scientific
folks by giving in the Planter and
Granger a description of what he
claims to be an efficient home made
fruit dryer. He says that it is COM
posed Of three things, a hogshead, a
sIil MsEitItree Gl.l, shipping box and a small
to admit stove; hole @Tgnueed
inches square is sawed in the head
to let the heat of the stove up, and
six or seven foot fruit tree box (such
as you ship a thousand pounds of
fruit in) is stood on end on top of the
having the lower end
knocked out, and being fitted Rcare-
fully over the hole in the head of the
hogshead. The heat will thus ascend
from the stove through the top of
the hogshead, and on up through the
long box. A pipe hole is made in
the hogshead opposite the door to
let the smoke out, so that none of it
ascends through the box. Now the
lid of the box is swung with hinges,
making the whole side of the box
open. Nail cleats on each side, on
which to rest the open crates or open
shelves, the cleats should be about
three inches, one above the other.
Close the door, heat with coal or
wood. and inss about ten hours you
will have the cheapest, sweetest fruit
YOU ever tasted.

From Our Indian River COrrespOn-
dent.

Editor Florida AgylculturiSt:
In October 1876, we published in
the old Agriculturist an account of
the gale or cyclone that swept over
us on the 10Th of that month. We
now have like experience to record.
The prelude to both were the same,
only the storm of 1876 gave us two
or three days warning, this only one.
Saturday, September 7th, broke
upon us dark and gloomy The wind
was strong from the east, so that the
few boats on the river scudded along
under double reef. Dark clouds
would rise in the south east, give us
a good shower, and then the sun
would shine out for a few minutes,
to be obscured by arain cloud from
the north east. 1t reminded US so
much of the days preceding the gale
of 1879 that we quit the work in

exciting sails ever experienced on the
Indian river.
Capt. Burnham's fine boat, the
Osceola, was wrecked on che Bausna
river.
On the coast, two vessels have
come ashore between Cape CaRaveral
and Indian River Inlet. The Hattie
Rogers, from N. Y, fifteen miles
South of the cape, and a French brig,
the Sevre, from Tampico bound for
Bordeaux, twelve miles south of Eau
Gallie.
The greatest damage is by high
water Indian River rose over three
feet, inundating most of the cane
fields. While the ST. Johns prairie
is one vast body of water, and our
cattle men say they have lost three
tourths of their stock. The /" oldest
citizen" says he never knew)the wa
ter so high. #f
Our experience thus tar proves
most conclusively that the cultivation
of the orange is the safest business
yet known, when properly protected
by heavy margin, the fiercest gale
can do the grove but little injury.

The weekly meetings of this Soci-

and Importance. The subject for
consideration and discussion for the
last meeting, was the Lemon
which will be continued to the next
regular meeting Saturday 10Th at 1 J
Pm. AS this fruit igrows readily
here, and can be made source of
great profit, it is desirable that the
best varieties and their mode OF cul-
ture be obtained, and there is no bet
ter source than through progressive
Agricultural Society. Hence the
consideration of this subject, at the
next meeting, will be of unusual in
terest, and aid acquainted with the
subject and having practical knowi-
edge of its cultivation, are invited to

cpssion, bringing with them specl-

ed, The fruit is rather small, color
intense oralnson, and very attractive,
The tilaments connecting the skin
with the pulp, are few and fine, seeds
comparatively few. A singular tea-
ture in this variety, is the size and
shape OF the leaves-resembling those
OF the common sweet orange, but
possessing the spicy and aromatic
odor peculiar to this family.
Tardif Harts, recommended in our
report of 1877, is worthy of cultiva-
ton as a late variety. This year, we
tested it in June and July, and we
found it to justify our opinions as for
merly expressed. 1t is a late ripen-
ing orange, of fair quality, retaining
its juices until the middle of July,
and probably later For juiciness,
sweetness, and flavor, it is superior
to fruit imported from the Mediter-
ranean.
After comparing and testing in the
most thorough and impartial manner,
a large number of varieties, your
committee feel warranted in recon-
mending for general cultivation the
following: Homosassa, Nonpareil,
Magnum Bonum.
Among the thousands of seedlings

willifrui in the future, it is probable
that varieties will be found excelling

submit them for examination and

Two great defects impair the mar
ket value of Florida lemon-thick-
ness of skin and large size. Your
committee have been seeking for va
rieties of medium size, thin skin, and
a large per centage of juice. They
have tested two varieties, which they
consider of great value, but before
a positive opinion is expressed, they
wish to subject them to further exam
ination.
Your committee fatter themselves
that their efforts have already accom-
plished some good in bringing to the
notice of our orange growers, a few
superior varieties. AS evidence of
this, many persons. both in Florida
and California, have secured plants
ofthe varieties recommended. and are
budding for them.

REPORT
Oh the POmOlOgical Committee of
the Florida Fruit Growers
Association.
lET. President and Gentlemen

Mr.. President and Gentlemen
Your Committee on Pomology,
beg leave to report,that in their opin-
ion it is not alone useless, but iniu-
rious, to cucumber reports with the
names and descriptions of second
class fruits. By adopting this course
we shall undoubtedly offend many
persons who submitted their favor
ties for examination and namss But
having a public and important duty
to perform, we shall not favor indi-
viduals nor localities.
Acting as judges at the late State
Fair, your committee examined, in
the most critical manner, over one
hundred varieties of the cftr,.ss fs.s.si-
ly, most of which were entered in
competition for the various prizes.
Many persons kindly forwarded spec
linens for our consideration, and we
have examined numerous varieties
otherwise obtained--in all, amount
ing to about two hundred.
In the report oflast year, we named
variety Homosassa, but did not de-
scribe the orange. Having had fur
ther opportunities of examining it,
we give the following description ::
Homosossa-size about medium,
somewhat fattened; very heavy !;
color bright; skin remarkably smooth
and satiny; pits very few and shall
low; skin remarkable for its tough
ness and density, and thinner than
that of any variety thus far exam
ined; eye. .::dark, varying from .one-
eighth to two eighths of an inch in
diameter, and set in a fattened sur
face, about three-quarters of an inch
in diameter; pulp very fine, and re-
markably juicy and sweet flavor full,
vinous, and sprightly; membrane
covering segments of pulp, very thin,
and small in quantity. This variety
ripens very early, and retains its
iuiciness and good qualities un-
til the end of the season. Owing to
the density and toughneas of the skin,
it keeps and carries well; and from
the experience of the committee, 1t
retains its properties for long period
after gathering. Quality best.
Taking into consideration it's early
ripening, hanging and keeping quail
ties, toughness, density and thinness
of skin, sweetness, iuciness, and fall
ness of flavor, your committee ex-
press it as their opinion, after having
tested this fruit for three years, that
it is the best orange examined by
them, and they unhesitatingly rec
ommend it for general cultivation
After testing number Of varieties
of the Tangerine orange, your com
mittee feel justified in referring to

then done by fierce blast breaking
offtwo large papaw trees near eur

The wind blew up very heavy all
night and about 10 o'clock Sunday
morning we considered that the gale
had fairly set in, accompanied by
heavy rain, The wind changed from
E. n. E. to E., and then from K.
back to E. N. E. about every six
hours. The gale of 1876 came in
rude gusts, making everything crack
before it, then lull of few min
utes, this one blew more steadily but
probably equally as hard. The tall
palmettos bent like reeds before it,
huge limbs of the live oaks were
snapped off, and after the ground was
thoroughly saturated some trees
were upturned by the roots.
Sunday night, all day Monday and
Monday night and until about 101
o'clock Teusday morning, the storm
continued without any cessation.
Then the east wind, instead of chang
ing to the E. N. Z. shifted to the S.

gale of 1876 only lasted twelve

After the storm ceased, l took a
walk over my place to take an inven-
tory of the damage, and was agree
ably surprised to find how fortunate
I was in that respect. A half-dozen
oranges blown off, few of the more
exposed trees pretty badly whipped,
part of the guavas blown off, nearly
all bananas in fruit blown down, and
the loss of the two papaw trees, be-
fore mentioned, comprised about all
the serious damage. AS yet l have
not found a bud blown out of my |
nursery.
In the older bearing groves, pro-
tected by heavy margin, but few
oranges were blown off, while in the
grove exposed,an average offromone-
fourth to one-third were destroyed.
These however have been util
lied to q great extent by making
wine and marmalade.
The list of casualties sums up
heavier than heretofore. Sand Point
and Tltusville near the head of the
river suffered most severely. Nearly
all the sail boats were wrecked In
cluding a steam yatch. DIR. Sey-
more's dental Office and store was
born from its foundation by the flood
and completely demolished, all the
contents lost; Mr.. Fox's store was
capsized and nearly all the goods
ruined. Messrs. Dixon & Lay lost
some 5000 in goods. Mr.. Strabar's
house at Eau Gallie was blown down,
but fortunately no one was hurt. The
heavy United States survey boat
Steadfast, proved untrue to her name,
andalthough under the lee of Merret's
island and secured by two heavy
anchors, yet the wind drove her
