Immigration.

We have received the following
letter from a we'll known citizen of
Boston, Mass, in reference to the
article that we wrote some numbers
ago. We are pleased to see that the
Editor of the Sun and Press is quite
alive to the Importance of encourag-
ing into the State, some of our con-
temporaries may make fun of it, but
it is a matter of life or death to most
of our people, who have recently set
tied and are not yet firmly established
and to those who have too much
land and are anxious to dispose of the
overplus to help them along. Mr..
Snow says:

Mr.. Henry Krouse has in his
orange nursery two little orange
plants not exceeding eight inches in
height, each of which has borne a
small orange. The oranges are about
the size of the Mandarin orange. and
tney are now turning yellow. We
nave known of instances before of
young orange plants putting forth
blossoms and even little oranges
forming, soon to drop off, however,
but this is the first time that we ever
knew or heard of the fruit on these
little bits OF twigs from the seed
growing SO large or coming to some
thing like maturity. Now If there is
my other place in the State that can
beat Tampa in orange precocity- we
want to hear from Tribune.

If there is one th g that will re-
pay the Florida fruit grower for

first cluster of blossoms open. how
sweet and beautiful they are,-sweet-
others, to the particular senses of the
fortunate owner. The long season
passes slowly, and when the sunlight
of promise begins to turn the fruit to
a golden hue, they can be looked at
and admired each hour in the dav

makes the growing of this queenly

Moody Resting in Baltimore.

Mr.. D. L. Moody, the evangelist,
has rented house in Baltimore, and
will remove there with his family
about the first of October. His
health has been somewhat impaired
by his labors, and he desires to 60 to
Baltimore to rest and recupcrate.
He is also anxious to devote more
time to study than his active work
has heretofore permitted. No taber-
nacle will be erected, as was at first
contemplated, but Mr.. Moody will
hold meetings during the winter
months in the churches and public
halls in various parts of the city,
probably as many as three each
week. Mr.. Sankey is going to Eu-
rope, and consequently will not ac-
company Mr.. Moody to Baltimore.

Bismarck's Morning Walks.

Bismarck walks out every morning
at Kissingen from ten to eleven, be-
fore his house, or he goes by path
beyond the Saale to part of the
forest near the restaurant bearing the
sign Of the House of Altenberg, and
saunters beneath the cool alleys OF
the road. A black Danish dog ac-
companies him. and he lie always fol-
lowed by police agents in plain
clothes. A guard of Bavarian gen.
d'armes watches day and night be-
fore the closed doors of the house,
and line of telegraph connects the
apartment of the Chancellor with
the station of Kissingen.

Tremendous Power Of Sea Waves


The tremendous force of the ocean
waves has been illustrated at Wick,
on the extreme northern coast Of
Scotland, where breakwatcr has
been building tor sonisr years past.
It may give an idea of what is meant
by wsve-power. 1t was found that
stones Of ten tons weight were a.
pebbles to the waves, which have
been measured to be there forty-two
feet from crest to the bottom of the
trough. The outer end of the break
water where the storms beat
most violently was built of three
courses of one-hundred- ton stones,
laid on rubble foundations; next
above these were three courses OF
large flat stones, and upon these a
mass of concrete built on the spot, of
cement and rubble. The end of the
'breakwster was thought to be as i'm
movable as the natural rock, yet the
resident engineer saw it yield to the
force of the waves and swing around
into the less.troubled water inside
the pier. 1t gave away, not in frag-
ments, but in one mass, as if 1t was
q monolith. The displaced mass is
estimated to weigh about 1850 tons.

Further Proof of How it works.

The annual town elections were held in
Connecticut yesterday. As far as heard
from the republicans made gains. and the
democratic vote of former years is now di-
vided between the democrats and green
hackers. As IN example. in Norwich,
where last year the republicans had /. 55l,
the democrats 884. and the greenbackers
lO4, the republicans yesterday had 1854,
the democrats 562, and the greenbackers
4S7, showing that 3l2 of the democrats Of
last year have now gone over to the green
hackers. - Chicago journal.
Here you have it again; another illus.
tration of how it works. The republicans
who join the nationals shout Justify for the
party go as to keep the democrats in itun,
til election day. and then these same re.
publican-nationals. jump the national tick.
ct and vote for the republican nominees
leaving the trusting democrats to hold just
enough votes to elect the republican ticket
1t was done in Colorado, In Connecticut, il
Iowa, and is being done 10 this county TO,
day. When will democrats quit travelling
after strange gods and learn that the only
way to beat the republican party is to vote
the democratic ticket straight? Every
democrat should fully understand the true
situation and vote accordingly. To demo
Gratis we say this. that every vote given fol
the national candidate is vote to continue
republican misrule. The democracy neYel
had better opportunity to win than now
and if the opportunity is not embraced, i
is very easy to trace the cause.
