Turned to Stone.

Police Officer William Blanford died
on June IL, 1874. The body was pla-
osd in the Philadelphia Cemetery in
Passyunk Road. A day or two ago a
son Of the deceased man had the body
disinterred, with the object of remov-
ing 1t to another cemetery. Four men
took hold of the box in which the coffin
was placed, and 1t required their unit
ed strength to lift it to the surface. The
tox was not decayed, and the coffin was
as bright as on the day of the burial.
The silver plate was not even tarnished
when the lid was removed. The body
was petrified, and in an almost perfect
state Of preservation. The clothing
was somewhat mouldy, and what was
once flesh had changed to a hard, stony
substance, resembling yellowish mar
Lle. The eyes were gone, the lips part
ly disappeared, and there was no hair
on the head; but otherwise the body
was perfect. Even the whiskers on the
chin had turned into stone. The body
weighed almost 800 pounds. Mrs.
Blanford died in February last, and
was buried near her husband; her body
was undergoing the natural process OF
decay. Both bodies were removed to
Mount Moriah Cemetery.

THE Two ORPHANs.-This play is ont
of ths.beet that has ever been given OF
the American stage, and being of thai
sympathetic and emotional mature
which is always popular, it drew well
at the Opera House last night, although
1t had been presented here three OF
four times before. Wilmipgtonhhea-
TRIGGERS for onca over stepped this es-
tablished rule of frowning on plays in
their fourth and fifth presentation. The
performance last night was al a gener-
al thing only moderately done. The
psrts in the play are nearly all brought
out prominently, and good acting is re-
quired to sustain them. Miss Pearl
Eytinge as Louise is undoubtedly the
best artist in the company. Her part
afforded her an excellent opportuni.
ty for displaying her pathetic powers,
and she acted with much effect, and de-
cided ability. Miss Helen Blythe as
'Henriette' is likewise o very superior
actress, and was admirably fitted fer
the part she took. While the pathet-
ic is decidedly Miss Eytinge's strong
"forte," Miss Blythe is calculated to do
more credit to her self in tragic parts.
Among the other members Of the troupe
who distinguished themselves may be
mentioned Mr.. Morton, who in the du-
al parts Of "Chevalisr de Vandrey"
and "Pierre the cripple" showed him
self an actor of great scope. Miss An
ME Wakeman in the part Of "Mari-
anne" and Mr.. Watson as "Picard,"
did aoceptably.
The play as given last night impress
cd a person with its iucompleteness,
hs the curtain finally fell. This is ow-
ing to the fact that the last act was not
fully carried out. The troupe was
chiefly from Daley's new York Theatre,
with one or two exceptions, and the
scenery was exceedingly fine.

ORGANIZATION.

The agricultursts, the producers of
food for the human race for the last three
thousand years, have been tenants OF cap
italists or the slaves of the aristocracy, ex-
cept probably in the United States, and
all the tendency of affails here are rapidly
in that dire,tion. Some men who think
they are wise say that it is the inevitable.
Incorporated and individual wealth is SO
greedily and rapidly encroaching upon
the rights of labor, and is so absorbing
the land and property of the country, fnat
one of the great dailv newspapers OF new
York city advises the farmers to at once
Weld the hopeless and unequal contest,

THE ORANGE CROP.

Seth French, of Jacksonville, Fla, an
old and experienced orange grower, gives
the following as an estimate of the cost of
an orange grove, according to locality
Cost of 10 acres of land for grove, $50
to 500; cost of clearing, 500 to SI5o;
cost of fencing, $50 to $75; cost of break
ing, $40 to $25; cost of setting out goo
trees, $500 to 5000; cost of care and fer
tilizing, five years, $500 to $1,000; total
cost, $o2o to $3.50. In addition to this
the young trees cost, ready for setting out,
from IS to so cents each. At the age of
nine or ten years from the seed the tree
begins to produce, the average being
about 900 oranges TO the tree. For the
next two years the increase in production
is rapid, being about 1000 oranges per
tree each year. There are quite lot of
trees in Florida that produce 10000
oranges, but these are aged, having been
planted before the war. Oranges, like
apples, have their "off' years, but at fif-
teen years from the seed it is safe to say
the trees win produce on an average 5000
acre. ceofdng eof to M as s sss figures Is @
given above, though it is usual to set out
60, which at three thousand oranges per
tree, would give 100000 oranges as the
yield of the ten acres. These, at one and
half cent apiece as they hang on the
tree, the average price this season, would
give $4,000 off the ten. acres. This esti-
mate,l let it be borne IN mind, is a low one,
for some Floridians are this year realizing
ST. < 900 from six acres. The Florida or
ange crop this year is much larger than
ever before. From such counties as are
easily accessible the figures point to crop
of about 10000 boxes. In Putnam coun-
ty alone the 1879 yield was nearly $500
900 oranges, and next year with the large
number of blooming trees that will come
into bearing, the crop viii amount to
100000 oranges. 1t will require train
of ten cars once day for ninety days to
transport the crop of this county.

SPINNING MILES-IN. THEsoUTH,

The people of the South Who have
money to put into manufacturing enter
prises should build spinning mills. The
south IS not rich enough to do much weav-
ing, but there is. no reason why it should
notconVert good part of the great crop
into yarns. On the other hand there is
the best OF reasons why it should-it will
pay At prevailing prices there is nearly
or quite SIX cents per pound profit over all
expenses IN spinning No. Id yarn, or three
cents per spindle per day; this would give
20 per spindle per year, and as spinni 1g
mills can be built for less than $I8 per
spindle, no other figures are required to
demonstrate the statement that the spin
ming mills IN the South bid fair to realize
this year hfty per cent on the capital in
vested: Nearly all of these mills are run
ming night and day, and every one of
them is realizing handsome profits These
are facts. There is plenty of surplus mon
ey in the South with which to establish
spinning mills, and where there is not an
available water power there is an
abundance of cheap fuel-not coal, but
wood We don't refer now to mammoth
mills but to litrle neighborhood spinning
mills. These mills thould be large enough
to turn the cotton of the neighborhood in
" oiiio, liiSiCUJ ICdVlHS Two pIOHlS IN
the country that produces the staple-that
of the producer, and that of the spinner,
besides giving employment to class that
sorely needs it. Nor is this all. The es-
tablishment of spinning mills, leads to the
establishment of weaving mills, as soon as
the necessary capital and experience are
accumulated. The two do not necessarily
go together. The country should spin
and the towns weave; but whether the
towns of the south are ready to weave or
not, there is no good reason who the men
who produce the'cotton should not double
their profits by turning their product into
yarns before they sell it. By not doing
SO, we are letting other sections of this
country and other countries gather the
larger profits connected with the handling
of the staple. This is not business like.
1t is not common sense. We need spin
ming mills in every county. There are
handsome profits in every such mill, and
we believe therefore that they will soon
be forthcoming. Constitution.

To REVIVE THE ORDER.

The following report was unanimously
adopted at the recent session of the Mis-
sissippi State Grange:
Com mittee "to devise ways and means
of reviving the order" submitted the foi,
lowing report, which was adopted, to wit:
Be it resolved that we recommend the
appointment by the Worthy Master of
one or more Deputy Lecturers in each
county in the State, to act in conjunction
with him, and to keep alive whatever in
terest he may arouse in Our people, and
one of whose principal duties it shall be
to see that his appointments are made
known everywhere in their counties, so
that he may have large and interested
audiences.
I'd. Whereas, We consider it of material
advantage to our members that there
sheuld be cooperative store established
at some central point in ach county on
the Rochdale plan; therefore,
Resolved, That we earnestly recon-
mend to Subordinate Oranges to inform
themselves of the principles of Co-opera-
alton as recommended by the National
Grange, and to establish one of these
Cooperative stores at the business center
of each county.
sd. Resolved, That we hereby recon-
mend to all Subordinate Oranges and
members of the Order, to do all in their
power to increase the circulation of "THE
PATRON OF HUsBANDRY" published at
Columbus, Miss, since we consider the
perusal of such papers as "THE PATRON
OF HUsBANDRY" one of the most potent
means of increasing the interest in our
Order, and beueftting the farmer.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
