Mr.. II. NJ. Higgins, of -Sweetwater
Valley formerly Of Chicago), has sue
ceeded in producing the finest lemon
that we have ever seen. 1t is a seed
ling; very large,-double the size of a
large Sicily lemon; very thin skin, not
thicker than average cardboard; and
nearly if not wholly seedless. The pulp
is full of juice, not at all pithy, md
with very little fibre. The exact variety
whence it is derived is not named, but
Mr.. Higgins calls this the "Bonny Brae"
lemon, naming it after his place. 1t is
really a new and distinct variety, pro-
duced by steady cultivation, with the
aid Of special features of soil and eli
mate. Mr.. Asher, of Fruit-Vale Muir
sery, and other experienced horticul-
turists, pronounce it a remarkable
lemon, and regard its production as d
very important matter for San Diego
county.

Nova Scotia has an awesOme mystery
among its simple people at Amherst,
where an evil spirit has taken strange
possession Of Esther Cox. She has been
q modest maid, scouting the idea of
spirits and knowing nothing about ami
NAL magnetism, but recently one Nc
Neil, a fellOW-WOrkman in an Amherst
boot and shoe shop, unsuccessfully tried
to seduce her in mesmeric influence.
The attempted outrage drove Mcneil
from the vicinity and laid Esther Cox
on a sick bed, from which she rose pos
sessed OF the powers exercised by the
most skilllul mediums. Strange rap
pings were heard, lightly tapping on the
wall and heavily striking on the beams
and roof OF the house, as if with an ak
Sometimes the sounds beat musical
measures, and again Esther was struck
in the face so hard that a red mark, as
of a burn or scald, was left TIE clothes
were taken from her bed and hurled
across the room, and once a piece OF
plaster foot square was torn from the
wall and shivered against the door. The
bed, tables and chairs danced about as
if on legs, and a pencil in Esther's hand
traced vulgar sentences on the walls in
McNeifs illiterate scrawl. Cold water
has been aSitated as if boiling, and the
inquisitive have received answers to
their questions. All these things have
been witnessed by clergymen, doctors
and skeptical persons, but they almost
all repudiate the idea of mesmeric in
huence and have given the girls such
tests that they are satisfied themselves
that these are not tricks of hers. Most
believe that the great black hand she
claims to have seen is due to hallucina-
ton, but those who believe that the
whole thing is a fraud though all admit
that they cannot account for it, have
considerable support in the fact that 10
cents admission was finally charged.
Matches were finally lit about her bro
ther-in-laws house, where Esther was
boarding. which started fires in different
places. The fire marshal threatened
arrest if it happened again; the girl
found another boarding place, and the
manifestations have ceased.

THAT noble-hearted Quakeress, Sarah
Smith, is achieving wonderful results in
the Indianapolis reformatory prison for
women. The institution was organized
through the tireless devotion and ener-
gy of this lady, and has now been in
operation for the past seven years.
Fully 80 per cent. of the feminine GRIM
inals committed to her charge have been
permanently reformed. The prison is
differed throughout by women, and the
best of order and iscipline is maintain
ed. No prison uniform is worn, and
when desperate criminals are brought
to the reformatory in chains the gentle
Quakeress promptly orders them off,
and, with bit of sewing in her lap,
sits down alone with the newcomer for
an hour or two in confidential CONVEX
sation. What passes at these interviews
can only be surmised, but when it is
over both parties are generally in tears
Divine pity, softening the heart, has
already done more in one brief hour
toward subduing and reforming the
criminal than could be accomplished in
many years under the ruder system Of
masculine authority. Taking the hint
from Indiana, Massachusetts establish
ed a similar prison for female criminals
of every grade, aud the report of the
first years operation shows equally
cheering results. Under the superin-
tendence of Miss Eudora Atkinson, the
discip pine is firm but kind the women
perform all the domestic service of the
institution, and engage in straw manu-
features, making corsets and in general
needle-work. They are all Kept busy,
are encouraged to be hopeful and hap
Ply, and the most scrupulous order and
neatness pervades every department.
This system of personal interest in the
history and disposition of each convict,
supplemented by industry, schooling
and religious instruction, never fails to
develop long-neglected traits of excel
lence and heal the self inflicted wounds
of an 1ll-spent life. There have been
no attempts to escape, nor disturbances
of any kind. These experiments may
be justly said to mark a very decided
and gratifying advance in prison reform.

So, 100000 worth of -four annual
ly, and yet it buys not more than
100000 worth from the United
States. On the other hand, of the
single item of sugar, we buy from
them $50,OO0,OO0 worth am
nually. This sum, added to the
other commodities which we export
from them acts as a perpetual bal
ance of trade against US, while, if
we should only teach Spain to have
a little more respect for our flag we
could at least export as much as we
import.
The atlantic, considering the
past history of the negotiations to
purchase or annex Cuba, comes to
the following conclusions: (1) That
in case of acquisition by war it
would cost the Government $780,
100000; ~ that Cuba could be
purchased from Spain, and that
such course would be better; 81 that
an incorporation with the United
States at the same time as the eman-
cipatiOn of slaves would cause severe
internal disturbances; and az that
it would be much wiser to work for
improvement Of trade-relations.

PRESIDENT HAYES.

At the banquet of the Encamp-
ment of the Grand Army, President
Hayes being absent, Attorney
General Devens paid the following
tribute to the Executive in answer
to the toast, "The President of the
United States
Comrades, I thank you for the
President for this cordial greeting,
with assurances of his affectiOnate re.
gard for you, of his appreciation of
your devotion to your country, of his
sympathy with you in all the wars of
civil life. Nothing, / can assure you,
but the pressing nature of public BUSH
ness would have prevented his being
with you here. But you know the
reason well the condition of pubic
business well. and realize that it is
almost matter of political interest that
he should be where he is. L know
that this can not compare with the
warm grasp OF his hand which he
would have been glad to haVs given
you, as soldier to soldier and comrade
to comrade. Applause. L thank
him for having made me his messen-
ger.
L" In the relation which L occupy to
him, having been with him in the
performance of his public duties for
the last two years, at times until day
has darkened into night and night has
redeemed into morning, / can not
speak with the freedom with which [
could were not that intimate relation
existing. What would be an appropri-
ate tribute from others, from me might
assume the aspect of an Inappropriate
compliment. Yet I am sure, among
the men with whom he has stood side
by side, with whom he has marched
through December storms and in July
heat, with whom he has stood on the
perilous edge of battle. am sure that
those men at least will appreciate his
warm and generous sympathies, his
anxious desire to do justice, his
wish to be in all respects a
worthy President of this great
Nation, for which you and he peTiled
your lives together. [Applause.
Whatever may be said now or at any
time of the President you at least will
judge him kindly and considerably
always. If he has been too generous
and cOnfiding, it is an error which he
has shared with you in desiring peace
and prosperity of all sections of the
Union. Applause.

In the July issue of the At
lantic are some statistics in regard
to our import and export trade with
Cuba, which are rather interesting.
They show that the course of the
United States in allowing Spain to
iniure our trade with that island is
humiliating in the extreme-al-
together unworthy of the great MAJ
ton that we are. In a commercial
sense, it is unjust that the Spanish
tariff causes q state of things just
as favorable to US as if Cuba were
in the farthest Pacific instead of be-
ing our next door neighbor.
The Spanish tariff contains a
clause levying a duty upon foreign
articles brought into Cuba by for
eign vessels. This is practically the
same as if it should specifically
state that American goods should be
taxed. American -four can be
raised and delivered at Havana for
So per barrel, but as soon as it
comes into the Custom House a
duty of $6.12 is imposed, or more
than the original cost of the wheat,
with the freightage added. Nor is
this confined to -four it is the same
with American products of all kinds.
Cuba is 700 miles long by 80
miles wide, about six times the size

SATURDAY, JUNE q 1879.

THERE is now one man in the
majority of the Senate who before
long will be numbered with the
leaders that have been. Of all men
in the Democratic party he is the
purest. An honest man, a man
with no bad record, man who will
not repudiate his sentiment, a man
of learning, polish, refnements, and
of great ability, his Democratic
comrades propose to kick him out
of the party fOrevermore. Why ?
Simply because he will not fall down
and worship the rag-baby" idol
of the Democratic party. At a
caucus a few days since Mr.. Coke
bluntly called for Mr.. Bayard's re-
signation, and there is no doubt in
the world but that this Senator
spoke the prevailing sentiments of his
party. If it was not known before,
this announcement would be cons
sidered an official statement Of the
issues of 1880. The Democrats are
aware of the fact that this extra
session, made necessary by them,
and which they thought would
prove of such signal benefit to them
in the approaching campaign, has
proved itself to be a bull in a china
shop, and they will endeavor to call
off the attention of the country
from their States Rights heresies
and reasonable utteEances to the
financial question. In their des-
perate need but two cries presented
themselves, that of bayonet rule
and unlimited money. The speeches
of the Republican leaders pune
tured the bubble of the former
during the present session, and that
of the latter in 20. They lost the
battle on the money question when
resumption was but an experiment,
and were it not that since its organ
ization the Democratic party has
been party of blunderers it would
be unexplainable that they should
again renew the fight along the
same line, when it has proven such
a magnificent success.
Their bayOnet cry they know, or
should know, is more available for
there is nothing so Repayment to
the feelings of free people as a
military Government. But then it
requires a man of an exceedingly
vivid imagination to suppose that our
little army with not more than man
to county in the South, could con-
troll the elections.
The party is an awful predica-
ment, as the clamor for the expul-
sion of the best man they have
clearly shows.
