Reciprocity and its Results.

The Hawaiian reciprocity treaty was signed
four years ago last August. For commercial
purposes it made this island group part of the
United States. 1t gave this country the adj
vantages of annexation with none of its bur
dens. Before this treaty was ratified, ship
building on the Pacific coast was in much the
same condition as on the Atlantic coast Since
it went into effect 81 vessels, sail and steam,
have been built in California, which are now
running between the islands of the Hawaiian
group under the flag of that Kingdom. These
vessels have an aggregate tonnage of 1851
tons, and their cost, exclusive Of outfit, $685.
900. These figures are small. They are ex-
ceeded by the tonnage of single medium
sized vessel built at Glasgow, but California
is the only state in the Union which in the
past four years has exported even this trihe of
ships built on American soil. Reciprocity has
not only opened market, but it has substan-
TALLY created new export. In addition 81
sailing vessels are running in the carrying
trade between Honolulu and San Francisco and
a number of lumber ships ply between the
mills in northern California and the islands.
From SO arrivals and departures at San Fran-
cisco in this trade i'll 1876, the record rose to
ia in 1877, lao in 1878, lss in 1879, and the
first nine mouths OF the calender year have
registered lS0. A large part of this trade is
carried on by American vessels built in Cali
fornia. 1t is altogether in American hands,
employing American capital and stimulating
American Industry. A sugar refinery, to cost
$4,000 and turn out 100000 pounds of sugar
daily, for which ground has just been broken
in San Francisco, is only Que of the enterprises
which fair give-and- with the Hawaii
an islands has called into being on American
sGiI
Mexico is only greater Hawaiian islands
Is not the same experiment worth trying there
by a treaty which will give both countries
the mutual advantage of a mutual commerce

THE TIMES-STAR,

The TIMES and STAR have been consolidated,
and will hereafter be issued as one paper under
the name of The Cincinnati TIMEs-srAR. The ar
rangement has been made on terms satisfactory
10 the propretors OF both papers, and will prove
an advantage to the readers of both. The STAR
O. separate institution ceases with days ISSUE
and the first number of the TIMEs-STAR will be
published on Monday from the present Office of
the STAR $50 Walnut street. 1t will be paper
that must prove entertaining to readers of the
STAR. AL important features of the old paper
will be retained, the general form and appearance
will be the same, and the same corps of writers
employed on the STAR reinforced by number Of
ments we have decided upon, will constitute
the writing staff of the TlMEs-STAR. Every de-
partment will be greatly strengthened, and the
consolidated paper will possess all the facilities
for newsgathering that are enjoyed by
both the old papers. The TIMES STAR will pub
lish the news of both the Western Asso.
ciated Press and the National Associated
Press, being the owner of the afternoon franchise
in both Associations. 1t will also reorganize the
two lists of special correspondents. and add spe
sial foreign service, and combine the market
facilities of the two in such a manner as to be
able to give the markets OF the whole world with
the greatest possible promptness and ACCURACY.
Subscribers who are pleased with the present
paper can not but be still more delighted with
the one we will be able to make with the unusual
facilities that will be at our command after the
consolidation. They will continue to have all
that has pleased them in the past presented in the
uame manner, and supplemented in very many
ways with much thatit was prev ously impossi-
BE for us to obtain.

gies of Ignez de Castro and Dom Pedro
the Cruel were wantonly knocked Oh
with hammer.

There lives in the country not very far
from Sacramento worthy couple, we'll
known and much esteemed, whose only
alloy to their cup of happiness resides in
the fact that thus far they have not,
after some years of welded life, been
blessed by that crowning glory OF matri-
mony-a child. Unto them no heir has
been born. To the aged widowed mother
of one of the parties this is equally
source of regret, and she does not hesi-
tate to voice her disappointment. The
other day, while the two ladies were Wis
iting at neighboring farm, one OF the
company indiscreetly ventured upon the
subject by inquiring how many little
prattlers were making home merry in
the household Of the visitors. "None,"
replied the elderly lady, ''not one,
and" "Now, mother" interposed the
other, "please don't. Pm sure there's
time enough" "Oh, know what you'll
say" "But, mother" "Don't but
mel 1 know I've got no grandchild,
and I guess I amt likely to have one
either--unless / have it myself" That
closed the argument for that day.

The Bones of VascO da Gama.

Some years ago it was proposed to
bring the bones Of Vasco da Gama-the
body was not embalmed-to Lisbon.
But the Marquis of Ma, in whose chap
ell at Vidigreira the remains rested, for
bade their removal. The Marquis was
the lineal descendant of Vasco da Cana,
and took his title of Conde deVidigueira,
one of the oldest and most honorable in
Portugal, from the estate which belonged
to the discoverer, and tradition says that
the bell of the little chapel is the same
which belonged to the ship of the great
Admiral. About 1888, Senior Jose Sill
vestre Ribeiro, the Governor of the Pro
vince of Beja, with the authority of the
Ministry, went to Vidigueira, and opened
the sarcophagus of Vasco da Cana.
Strange to relate, he found a complete
skeleton, but two craniums. Nothing il
known which accounts for the circum.
stance. There is supposition that the
tomb may have been opened by maraud'
ing French soldiers during the invasion
Many tombs were thus ransacked in
search Of gold or jewels sometime,
buried with the body. In the Domini
can Convent Of Batalha the four tomb'

West, member began TRADE against
the universities and education, thanking
God that he had never been corrupted
by contact with a college. After pro-
ceeding thus for a few minutes, the
Bishop interrupted with the question,
"Do not understand that the brother
thanks God for his ignorance? "Well,
yes" was the answer. "Well, all have
to say" said the Bishop, in his sweet,
musical tones, "all l have to say is that
the brother has great deal to be thank

mo more Chinese immigration, except for

direct and emphatic. 1t is in marked con-
trast with the empty and evasive plank OF
the Chicago Convention upon this ques-
ton. The platform renews the pledges to
the constitutional doctrines and traditions
OF the Democratic party, and refers to the
teachings and example of a long line OF

blackberry, cherry, &C., are
brought to the city markets in yearly in
creasiug quantities, and the prices for
these delicious productions rarely falls
in times of the greatest abundance below
remunerative figures, since the canning
establishments are always ready to take
any surplus over the daily wants of con-
sumers
We can all remember when the gath
ering of few wild strawberries in the
meadow or of a few quarts of wild rasp-
berries, blackberries or huckleberries on
the hillside constituted the sole resource
of country families and the cities were
but little more fortunate. In time, how
ever, it became known that strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries were as sur
ceptible Of and as grateful for cultiva-
tion as potatoes and these began to find a
place in the farmers garden.
Later on their growth on a larger scale
for market purposes was undertaken. and
now hundreds Of thousands of bushels
are brought to our larger cities every
year and find a ready and profitable sale.
Fruit and market gardening are there
fore among the established institutions
of the country, and daily taking 6rmer
hold as acknowledged profitable indus
tries. The extent of the United States
and its diversity of climate render it
capable of producing nearly every va
riety of fruit that is known.
At the North, the apple, pear, currant,
gooseberry, ounce, plum and cherry
thrive and yield crop that it is ALSO
lutely impossible to estimate with even
an approximation to exactitude. Further
South the peach, grape, apricot, ETC.,
thrive alongside of the foregoing, while
still further South the fig, orange, lemon.
citron, pomegranate, lime, pineapple
and banana, may be added to the list.
1t is a popularity of fruit-growing that
many kinds grow on land that is hardly
suited to any other culture. For in
stance, bluff or hillside is frequently
more favorable for an orchard than bot
tom; and in the thin land of Delaware
and Maryland are some Of the finest
peach orchards in the country. We see
it estimated that this peninsula, in an
ordinarily good season, sends to market
from 100000 to 100000 baskets of
peaches, while the entire peach crop of
the country is put down at $56, ,125,OOO
in aggregate value.
1t is claimed tn at more than 100000
acres are under cultivation in orchards
in this country, the value of which it
would be difficult to correctly estimate.
In Florida and California the orange and
lemon culture are justly attracting atten-
tion. 1t is said that on large old Or
ange tree as many as 10000 oranges
have been harvested in a season,
and since our Florida and Lou
isiana coasts seem especially
adapted to this culture it is
not surprising there should be consider
able emigration in that direction. And
as the healthfulness of fruit as a regular
article of diet is 50 we'll established, and
the facilities for having it fresh at all
seasons of the year multiply, we see nc
reason why the area devoted to its cul
ture should not be still further extended
without danger of overstocking the mar
kets.
