Permit me to thus publicly thank
Mr.. Bidwell for his information re.
garding the spo'aclia p5eiogy,ae. 1t is
a most beautiful tree, of very rapid
growth, and the fruit is now ripen.
ing In every particular it is far su-
perior to that most unmitigated hum
bug, the eucalyptus. I have tried
through several sources to gain some
practical information regarding it,
without success. Even as high au.
thority as Professor Thurber knew
nothing OF it. AS for the Agricultu.
raj Department at Washington, it
appears to be the rule to put on
their gold-rimmed spectacles, look
wise, write their botanical names, and
send forth their bantlings without
the common name, or word of ex-
planation to instruct the ignorant
recipients of their favors, as to what
they are getting.

tion is to fruit the Japan plum let
him not get discouraged. Our &C.
quaintance with this fruit, before we
came to Florida, was in Southern
Alabama, where it seemed to thrive
best in stiff clay subsoil, therefore,
with Mr.. Hart, / feared our soil here
was OF too porous nature to make
them success. We now have, how
ever, several that are blooming,
while all are growing admirably. A
correspondent asks why cabbage fans
will not do as well to shade them with
as castor beans We answer that
they will; in fact, we do shade ours

when we adopt the castor bean, and
continue until the bush is large

four years.

With such spirit of ambitious
enterprise we see in fancy the brow
adorned with the laurel. A few days
since a party asked us if we had ever
seen apples grown in Florida. We
said yes, we had seen both pear and
apple trees, though very young,
growing at Mr. Mitchells place. "O6,

it can be grown" was the quick re.

more failures. If every toiler could

Ihe first or Active Phase involves

This renewed observation usually

"Frighteming Invalids.o

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, forebodng countenances of those
around For our part we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physic
theorize as they will, VIC have a mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms Of consumption, cough deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhGa. night sweats, burning

Mr.. Bcechcr on Railroad COnduc-
tors.

About $50 members of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Conductors attended the morning
service at Plymouth church Yesterday, and
Mr. Beecher referred to them previous to the
sermon. Gin the prov idcnce of God, he
said 1--WE have with us n number of mem
Der, of a brotherhood composed of the con-
ductors of the principal steam railroads in
the United States. The rendering of honor
to those that deserve honor is an explicit com
mand of the Bible. and while We do not for
get it in regard to rulers. yet society i, full
of persons to whom honor i, due and much
gratitude and who do not receive it. There
j. nobody to whom less credit Is given and
bv whom more is deserved than the conduc-
tors and eng ineers on our railroads. The safe
ty of millions of lives is in their hands. They
carry a continent of people. And vet it is
notorious a matter of statistics that it is SAT
er to life and limb TO travel than to stay at
home We are travelling people and such
are the fidelity and carefulness of our con-
dnctors and engineers in the management of
their trains that while there is here and there
a great misfortune. there is an average of
safety. comfort aud ease. Few men have
travelled more than have, or have noticed
more how the conductors perform their du-
ties We remember them when we have to
find fault. but forget them at other times 1t
gives me great pleasure 10 testify to their
honorable position and great service. In
what other land could a woman travel unpro-
tected? Here she can go from the remotest
bounds of Maine to the fartherst part of Ore
gon and receive uniform courtesy, Kindness
direction and personal helptulness. 1t is
Characteristic, national. 1t belongs to the
brotherhood of professional conductors.
Their presence here should be met not only
by our hospitality, but by our sympathy and
our honoring regard. And may they who
make us not to err on the straight and narrow
way not fail themselves. May they find that

eth unto life and rest in Heaven.'

Blaine, of Maine, reached this city late last
night. He is spending Sunday here with per
sonal friends. He reached Iowa on Thurs
dav evening. on Friday and Saturday
he addressed two of the most remarka-
bic meetings ever held in the West.
ON Friday, at Independence, in the North
crn part of the State, he was greeted by at
least 5000 stalwart friends.
He spoke on Saturday at Iowa City. where
his meeting was vastly larger than tn one
held at the same place by stephen \ Doug
In, in 1860, which has long been quoted as
the largest political gathering ever held west
of the Mississippi River. Many persons who
were present at both say that the gathering
which greeted Mr.. Blaine was Immensely
larger than the great Douglas assemblago.

the north. from Burlington on the south,
from Davenport on the east. and from Des

Republican Victories.

The returns received from the elections
which were held in Ohio and Iowa yes
terday, are sufficient to show that the re-
publicans have carried both States.
Foster without doubt is elected in Ohio
by from 25,oo0 to $1,000 majority, and
the republicans claim to have majority
in the Legislature, though this is not so
certain as the election of Foster. SO tar
as heard from republican gains are gen
eral. and quite up to the calculations OF
the republican State committee. If the
Legislature shall prove 10 be republican
the result will be of great Importance.
since it will make sure of the retirement
of Thurman from the Senate and the fill
ing of his seat by a sound republican.
The result will also have favorable in
fiuence upon the republican canvass in
New York and Massachusetts, If we have
won such victory rs now appears prob
able it is indeed glorious one.
From Iowa the returns are not very full -.
but indicate that the republicans have car
ried the State by largely increased mat
iority over that of 1873. when the repub-
lican candidate for Secretary Of State had
9457 majority over his democratic and
greenback competitor.
If New York and Massachusetts follow
with republican victories, rs there is the
best of reason TO believe they will, the
year will close with a fair prospect that
the republicans will elect another Presi-
dent in 1880.
