forming bear was seized by the Customs officers for
duty, is loud in his complaints of his treatment 1t
appears after Barat had decided not TO pay the
Guty, the officers sent for an express wagon and q
cage to transport the animal TO Central Park.
Barat then borrowed SO and offered 1t to the
officers, who then decided not to let the French
man have his bear unless the charges for taking 1t
10 Central Park were paid. The extra payment was
refused, and the FrenchmGn was then ordered TO
put the bear IN the cage He replied: ION, no /;
Won have taken charge of him; now take care of
him. The superintendent then called TO one of the
officers: "Put that ar bear in that ar cage" The
officers one after the other refused 10 touch the ami
NAL and then the Superintendent of the Dock told
tine Frenchman that unless he put the bear IN the
cage II would be shot After the animal was
loaded the Frcnchman jumped on the cage to 60

ing that during my whole ife In the service of my
country have not been arrested and my charac-
ter is pure. But come 10 free country to he aF-
rested for the first time IN nv life" The French
man followed the wagon to Central Park on
foot aud yesterday returned 10 Castle Garden,

LARGE SALES OF PIONEERING PLANTS.


ONE OF NEw-YORK'S THRIVING INDUSTRIES.
Whether il indicates the return of more prosper

proves that amateurs are beginning to learn how
they can purchase plants at wholesale rates, certain
il is that business was never before so brisk at the
horticultural salesroom, No. 10 COrtlandt-St as 1t
has been this Spring. About 100000 plants
have already been disposed Of, and they
are still going at the rate of 10000 a
week at the regular Tuesday and Friday auctions:
llOwcring plants and shrubs. AZ well as fruit ana
ornamental trees. are sold ID lots not only to SUIT

BUYERS are here brought directly III contact WIN
the large growers, who are familiar with the most
approved methods of packing these delicate goods
so as to insure safe transportation. In most cases
the dealers show great taste in the selection OF
varieties. and a feature much TO be commended IS
the new one of arranging sO-called foliage plants
in boxes as they are to be planted III ribbon lines In
order to give actual "Object lessons" IN garden

These large sales, the great quantities which are
brought into the markets every night to he retalled

country seem 10 justify the claim made by local
florists that New-YOTk and It's vicinity lead the

also, which seems worth noting, that despite the
high price of labor in this country, American
growers by superior enterprise and skill, are able
10 furnish plants nearly 80 per cent cheaper than
the ruling rates III the London markets.
