Cochin China ORANGES.

There are in Cochin China over
twenty varieties Of oranges, every one
different in color, flavor and volnma
yet every one is wholesome and
sweet. One of the best Is called
C@na-d@-'oo'ag, that is sugar ORANGE
1t is odoriferous, one of the size ot
the European orange, only a little
ilattened; its flesh reddish yellow.
Another and somewhat inferior kind
is Ca''eSe'', or orange of paradise of
good quality, flesh and skin pale red,
naVor similar to the stimulating acid
OF the lemon, but miIaer and less
sour.
The best is Cam 6jen, or king
orange so called because it is reserved
for the Sovereign. There is no pro-
hibition against cultivating it, but it is
. necessary to hide it; for no sooner is
the tree discovered, than the owner
has to deliver the crop to the Sow.
ereign. Size and shape of it are sim.
liar to small European orange; skin
green, as thin as the finest piece of
silk, and nearly transparent, so that
you can see the pink flesh inside
through its tilsments. When you
out 1t open, it scents the air, and the
taste, says . traveller, is so agreeable,
that no fruit can give you so delic-
ious a sensation as the eating OF this

Sweeping, and How and When it
Should be Done.

lnsweeping,the dust is to be brushed
offthe surface and light broom is bet
ter than heavy one. And in the first
place, let all the delicate ornaments
be put away. Let the bed, if it is a
bedroom, be carefully covered, and
have upholstered furniture also COW
cred az far as possible. Then open
the windows, and after scattering
damp tea leaves over the floor, sweep
clean, but lightly, use small broom
dor the corners and around the stove.
Taking up the dust as it is gathered
IN little heaps is certainly neater than
rolling the whole mass from one side
of the room to the other. Let the
furniture then be busted, wiping it
with clean busting cloth; and many
people forget entirely, when this cloth
is filed, to give it a shake at the win
dow. We speak of this, for, surDris-
ing as It may seem, we have seen
people rub chintz furniture covers
and stuffed furniture with busting
cloths that were simply filed with
dirt.
When q room has been thoroughly
swept, busted, ana the little orna.
menCs returned to their places, one
feels that it is clean and delightful to
contemplate but If this is The sitting
room, Or the dining room, the next
thing few crumbs or threads are
dropped, or sand is brought in, not
withstanaing the MAJ at The door,
Then comes the brushing up. The
scrub broom is picked up in a hurry,
and f1prished over the floor, but
there Is 40 time to dust the furniture.
Now the question is, would it not be
better t" use crumh cloth under
the Dining table. and of,ener employ
the small broom and the dust pan,
leaving the actual sweeping till ii
coull De nicely done?

A Dig House for .'BuTalO BiII.''

Buffalo Bill appeared at the Grand
Opera House last evening, and was greet
ed by the largest audience that ever wit.
messed his performance in this city
nearly two thousand people being in the
Hall. The play was good one of the
kind, and abounded in striking scenes
and stirring incidents, which received
the unqualified applause of the large au-
dience. After the close of the drama,
the Indians gave a dance, and one of
them tried his hand at target-shooting
with bow and arrow, but seemed little
excited and did not shoot very well. Buff
falO Bill, however, gave some splendid
exhibitions of craftsmanship with his
handsome rife. lie stood about twenty
five feet from the target, and shot in vari-
GUS positions, including one backward
shot, with the rifle pointing out between
his legs, and one backward shot over
his shoulder, viewing the mark by means
of a small looking-glass which he held in
his hand. He struck his mark nearly
every time, and his skill was loudly ap-
plauded.
This evening, at the Grand Opera House,
Joaquin Miller's beautiful and romantic
drama, "The Danites," will be presented
by an able company under the manage
ment of James Ward. This will be a
fine performance and should be largely
attended.
On Saturday evening, Mr.. and Mrs. w.

experience of n Wilmington
Butcher im PhilndelDhia

One Of the butchers of Wilmington
paid visit to Philadelphia, and while
There became intoxicated. He was
promptly arrested, and not having much
8 IL OF language could net well defend
a himself, and was committed to jail for
Tor three months. He was stripped
naked, placed in q tub of water, washed
all over, had his head shaved, and a
striped dress put on HIM, which made
him look like a clown in a circus. He
wa was then employed in wheeling stone to
me top of wall, up board incline
plain. The hvng was poor. He finally
acquainted Mayor Almond of his con-
ditl on, who succeeded in getting him re-
leased. He is disgusted with Philadel-
phia, and In future he says he will get
drunk .n some decent city. The reason
OF this extra care of him was that they
were looking for some notorious rap
scallion, who resembed our worthy Will
mington butcher, and supposing that he
was the one placed him through this
course of proceeding.

A DEMOCRATIC newspaper publishe,

A DEMOCRATIC newspaper published
at Shelbyvllle, Indiana, comes to us with
an announcements to the effect that Re-
publican named Joshua Adams has been
elected to Common-Pleas Judgeship in
that neighborhood, and the assertion is
made that ''Adams has not washed his
feet in. ten years and has not received a
new idea in twenty" They have queer
Dolions of the Judiciary out West. 1t is
we'll enough, perhaps, to insist that man
should a Sub at least one new idea every
twenty years, but what the washing OF
feet has to do with the administration of
justice in Indiana is beyond our compre-
hension. In this part of the country we
think judge is doing pretty well if he
keeps his hands clean.-Balt Gazette.
