from this cause. A bottle of Boshee's German

Editors Florida AW'iculttriSt:
There are many points relative to
the culture of orange trees which we
do not see treated OF or discussed in
your journal, and which would be
very Interesting and profitable to me,
and, doubtless, to many others. They
are subjects vital to all growers Of
the orange and ought to be discussed
far and near, all the facts established by
experience set forth, and all views
based on Intelligent observance and
thought made public. do not pro.
pose to attempt mentioning all that
comes to mind, their number is legion
they present themselves every day,
but perhaps / may suggest one or
two. What is the opinion of grow
ers on the subject OF cultivating the
soil, should il be clean or not There
is a wide difference OF opinion here.
Some growers will not put plow
into their groves, but scratch the soil
with harrow or cultivator. Others
advocate blowing, particularlyto turn
under vegetable matter Our lands
(pine) are deficient in vegetable mat
ter. how is the clean cultivator to add
anything of this kind to it? Some
say cover the ground with mulch to
retain moisture and keep down
weeds, thus saving labor. Others
say the orange roots will at once
come to the surface when a severe
drought might injure the tree, Some
are enthusiasts on the subject OF

near Palatka, for specimen OF their
white table grapes, the flavor of
which are delicious. They inform us
that the grape is native of Saumur,
France, and from stock imported by
them in March last, They have
thirty-two varieties of imported

We like to see enterprises of this sort
succeed as it tends to build up the

Orange Growing

There is no fruit culture in the
world 50 safe as that of the orange.
Such thing as a total failure is
unknown. Some years trees may
bear heavier than others, but in the
scanty years the fruit is SO superior
as to make up the deficiency by a
higher price. 1t is seldom that two
good apple crops can be had in sue
cession. Pears have even more enc
mics than the orange and succumb
easier to them. The peach crop is
always an uncertain one. This years
crop III Delaware, it is stated, will
not be one-twentieth part as much as
the last. A dispatch says
From the river district. from which
100000 baskets were shipped, it is
calculated that not 5000 will be
picked during the coming season.
The cause of this failure is not easily
explained. The "black rot" the
blight, the yellows and frost have all
been assigned as the causes. Many
of the most intelligent growers pre-
dict that the end Of the peach culture
in the upper end Of the peninsular is
near at hand. The soil Is thought to
be running out.
AS money gets more plentiful or
ange groves will bring very high
prices, and those who can purchase
now. at the present low figures, will
make good thing Of it. We know
Of number of young groves that
can be bought for less than it cost to
plant and care for them, owing to the
need of the owners. Those who
have young groves nearly at bearing
age, should put mp with every hard
ship rather than part with them, for
bright days are in store for-the fortu-
nate owners of such property. 1t is
not every part of the State suited for
orange culture, nor every part of any
locality. Where one orange grove
may be seen thriving, perhaps there
may not be another eqnally favorable
spot near. This alone should con.
vince people of the great future Of
the orange business. Fortunate are
those who, by Happy foresight, have
got hold Of large bodies Of land
to this fruit, they will yet get
prices that they little dream of at
present, and when lemon culture be-
gins to attract the attention it must,
and will do, the demand Tor such
lands will be great.

There has been a great deal Of
quiet consultation among Southern
men at Washington during the past
few weeks rs to the propriety Of a
movement on the part Of the South
ern members Of Congress to create
the Office Of Captain General of the
Army, with a salary Of $4,000 per
annum, and give it to General Grant
for life. The movement has not vet
taken shape, but it will certainly be
agitated during the first two weeks of
Congress.
The idea advanced is to inaugurate
it as a Southern measure, to gain the
support of all Southern members, and
thus not only do. a handsome thing
for General Grant, but to show evil
dence of the loyalty Of that section.
The splendid ovations which Grant
has received since his return to his
country are regarded as evidence that
ne has a place in the the affectit MS Of
the people second to no living man,
and that there would be no grumbling
at the creation of an appropriate life
office for him.

GRANT IN GEORGIA..

A Georgia politician writes as fol-
lows: MANI yeading men in this
State say that the latd elections in
Northern States clearly point to q
change in the political complexion Of
the Forty-seventh Congress, and also
simplify the issues of 1880. An ex-
Governor Of Georgia, whose late ad.
ministration was thoroughly Demo-
cratic, told me the other day that if
Grant would make o visit to the South
and assure the people here that, if
elected, he would be President Of the
whole country, he would carry this
and other SouthernS States without a
preadventure. ! assure you there is
q strong feeling in his favor among
conservative Democrats of character
and influence. However this may be,
there is one thing, we think, dem.
onstrably certain, and it is that il

The Washington Star Of a few days
ago says:

The Washington Star Of a few days
ago says:
Should the Democratic factions in.
New York continue their warfare and
refuse to harmonic, then all hope Of
the success of the party is gone. The
southern people realize this, and,
abandoning the Democracy, would
turn to Gen. Grant, whom, it is ad-
mitted they admire and respect. The
desire to end sectionalism; and for
ever bury all the animosities growing
out OF the war, it is said, would be
the motive of southern voters in SUD-
porting Gen. Grant,; and this motive
Will very likely prompt many of them
to such a course in spite of Demo-
cratic influences. Some of the south
ern Democrats who speak out in ad-
vocacy OF making Gen. Grant a ..unan-
imous'. President will give him their
support and influence, regardless Of
what the national Democracy may do
1t is hardly probable that these men,
In the face of Democratic univ in
the north, will be able to carry enough
OF their old party associates with
them to control any electoral votes.
Still, they may accomplish that; but
whether they do or not, it is plain
that the political solidity Of the south
is pierced with a large crack, that it
will fall to pieces within q year or
two.
The last sentence Of the above quo
tatlon expresses the real force and
bearing of the situation. The Grant
movements among the southern Dem
ocrats is of Importance more because
it indicates q breaking up Of the So
lidity of the Confederate Democratic
party in tho south than any other
reason.

Political excitement has been high
IN Maine during the past two weeks
over the high-handed attempt of the
Democratic governor and council of
the State to throw out, on technical
grounds, enough Republican men,
bers-elect of the Legislature to give
both branches Of that body to the
Democratic-Greenback fusion, and
over the persistent refusal to allow
these Republican members to in
spect the returns in order to correct
alleged informalities. After persis-
tent, patient, and Intellectual efforts to
obtain access to the returns, the coun-
sci for the Republican members took
the case before Chief Justice Apple
ton OF the Supreme court on applica-
ton for u mandamus to compel the
Governor and council to allow sem
ators and represeEtatives-elect to in
spect the returns; and Judge Apple
ton took steps to call the entire court
together. This action seems to have
brought the Democratic Governor
and counsel to their senses, and, on
finding that the Judge meant bust
ness, they Mt once gave notice that
they would be in session from the LIST
to the 18th Of December for the pur-
pose of examining the official returns,
and that candidates claiming irregu-
l~aritles or other causes presumed to
vitiate their opponents election would
have reasonable opportunity to be
heard personally or by duly author
lied counsel. In view of this notice
the Republicans will not urge an i'm
mediate special session Of the Su-
preme court, but brought up the APP
p%lication for a mandamus before the
court which convened last Tuesday.
