Your conclusion is that sit is this es-

conclusion is talIacious because the

All outline of the way in which orange
marmalade Is made in large quanti'
ties by well known house of pre-
serve makers tor shipment to all the
markets of the world Marmalade
is manufactured during the months
OF January and February when the
Seville oranges are inHseason. In
the course OF these months the cut
ting and pressing of the orange takes
place, and We had the good fortune
malade industry in full operation
In large building, erected especially
for the purpose, the marmaiade is
made. There is fragrant perfume
of oranges on entering the large
partment on the ground floor,
which permeates the place, and
savors distinctly OF marmalade.
Seville "sours" are imported in ship
loads tor this business, the oranges
being carefully selected, each one be-
ing wrapped in paper when de-
posted in the chests in which they
are packed. Hundreds of women
are engaged throughout this busy
season cutting the oranges into
quarters and stripping the peel, this
work being done with surprising eel
Gritty. The peel, which is cut into
thin shreds by steam machinery, is
sues from the cutter in myriads of
slices, marvelously fine, and having
a refreshing bouquet. The pulp, or
interior portion of the orange, is
scalded and passed through seive;
also worked by steam power, the
pips and particles of skin alone be-
ING rejected. This machinery is ad-
mirable, and the mode in which the
useless portions-fne and small as
are pips and skins-are separated
from the pulp testiies to the pertec-
ton to which modern appliances
have been brought by inventive
genius. The peel and pulp are then
mixed and removed to the boiling
room.
From the ground floor we ascend
to the boiling room, which is situ-
ated on the top story. This spacious,
light and convenient apartment con-
tains forty copper pans, shining like
FURNISHED gold, and each capable OF
boiling one and onehalf hundred
weight of either marmalade or jam.
The stirring is done by machinery,
a complete mechanical arrangement
for this operation being driven by a
small and handsome new engine.
On the floor beneath, the marina
lade is filled into pots by females,
who fill the vessels, as quickly as
they are brought to them, from a
trough or receiver containing the
preserve. The pots and jars are
then stacked away on trays until
cold, wheo they are covered, tied
over, labelled and packed.

Never water horse directly after
feeding him, especially if he is ted on
corn. Thirst should be allayed before
the teed is given and it any water is
allowed after, it should be merely a
mouthful until the lapse OF two or
three hours time has been had for
gastric digestions. Many valuable
animals have been lost by allowing
them to drink freely directly after
eating.

CALIFORNIA LEMONS.

article on Lemon Culture, read be.

upon the subject that l have seen.
am more and more impressed with
the thought that in lemon culture
you are in advance of us. And
conclude that this advanced stage OF
the lemon interest in California is
largely due to the editor of the Pres,
and HOrticuLtauist. We greatly
need some one to do for the lemon il

the knowing ones are very choice of
their knowledge. for have been a
constant and thorough reader OF the
current citrus literature of Florida
for the last six years and yet had
learned very little about lemons.
During the few weeks that / have
been a reader of the Press and Hor.
tic,slta@'ist / have learned more of va
rietles, tests, etc., than ever knew
before. Budding them on the
orange l think is a new idea in this
latitude. 1t has been practiced here
not as matter of any Importance
but from curiosity or convenience.
Most Of the lemons grown in Florida
are seedlings. And because seed~
ling oranges are quite uniformly
good it has been generally supposed
that the lemon should be the same.
But Florida lemons have been and
still are generally poor, but exactly
what is the matter with them is not
generally known. Some few know
the worthlessne<s of Seeding lemons,
but the popular idea is very crude.
And so far as | know no intelligent
system of tests has been either
adopted or proposed.
FLORIDA ORANGES.
In the line of citrus fruits the
orange has been the one idea of
the Florida planters. In this we
have attained an eminence of which
we are Justly proud. She has other
large and growing interests, but the
pride and glory Of Florida is her
oranges.
In your issue of June 5th you are
led into error in regard to Florida
oranges by correspondent of the
New York Herald. AS prophet
he sees strange sights. "The fruit
market glutted with rotten oranges" !"
II our oranges are of such delicate
texture that they cannot endure
transportation they certainly will
glut only the home market and their
future production will be measured
bv this demand. But the Florida
orange is very delicate OF texture
and juicy, so much so that it is be-
yond question the finest oranges in
the world, and at the same time the
skin is so tough that it bares ship
ment well. We do not claim tor it

TaE REVISED RULES.

Now that the matter Of revising the
rules OF the House is ont OF tho way, it
is expected that the business OF Con-
grcss will 10 forward with rush. The
lengthy consideration OF this subject
has given rise to the impression that
Congress has been doing nothing, but
the fact is that it has been justly re-
garded as the most important business
OF the session.
The rules as revised were adopted by
a nearly strict party vote, the record be-
ing ayes l22, noes IS. The most im-
portant of these rules is that which al
lows the lacking OF political riders to
appropriation bills. On general princi-
pies, we regret that this rule has been
continued in force. But there were
special reasons why it should not
be abrogated during the term OF his
iraudulcncy. To have dispensed with
it at this time would have been to sur
render some Of the advantages Of posi-
ton which Congress occupies under 1t
ON the fight against partisan appropria-
tons and partisan control OF elections.
When Congress has been able to destroy
the infamous measures OF Radical
Congress, Tor the control OF the election
machinery, then it will be time 10 re-
scind a rulethat was adopted for parti-
san purposes, and which a Democratic
Congress now finds it necessary to use
for defeating that end.
The amendment taking from the
WAYS and Means and giving to the
Committee on Commerce control OF the
river aud harbOr appropriation bill was
agreed to. 1t will naturally and almost
inevitably lead to a large increase Of
those appropriations annually. The
amendment giving the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings control OF the
bill making appropriations for public
buildings was rejected, which may be
accepted rs the defeat of plan for an
increase Of expenditures in that direc-
ton. The amendment requiring the
yeas and nays to be taken on every APP
preparation or revenue bill, including
the general appropriations, and those
for river and harbor improvements, was
agreed to, The new rules take effect
next Monday.

show that suicide is on the increase IN
France. Before the Franco-German
war the average number of suicides only
slightly exceeded 5000 year, and now
they exceed 5000. In Paris there are
three times as many suicides committed
as in the country. Most Of the men
who destroy themselves are bachelors.
The spring is the time OF year when
suicide is most frequent, and death by
hanging is more usually resorted to than
any other mode.

ANARROW VIEW

The editor Oi the iHisiigHcSr must
take a very narrow view OF the decision
in the Strauder case il he cannot dis.
cover that there is anything more i'm
portant ut stake than the rights Of the
negro. We TO not propose to be drawn
into the discussion Of the subject upon
any such narrow basis. We claim for
ourself and Tor the Democratic party, rs
much genuine regard for the negro as
the editor OF the hi,iIigmccr or the party
he represents. Moreover We claim that
the history ut the Democratic party
proves that the rights and welfare oi the
negro have received rs much or more
practical care and consideration at its
hands than it has from the Republican,
OF any other party; that as a matter OF
fact, the negro is to-day better satisfied,
more prosperous aud better provided
ior in the states where the Democratic
party is in control than where the Re-
publican party is in control
We ~ further than this. We have no
special objection to the negro sitting
upon a jury in the trial Of one OF his own
race, il that is found necessary Tor his
protection; or OF exercising any OF the
rights OF citizenship that are necessary
Tor his welfare and protection, and that
lac has capacity and fitness to exercise.
The same law that exists now under
Democratic rule in the State to exclude
negroes from tho ballot box, existed
when the Republican party was IA the
majority ia the State, and one party
has been understood rs giving 1t quite
as full sanction "a the other, and one IN
as much responsible ior its existence ~
the other. Public sentiment IN the Re-
publican party Of the State is AZ much
divided on this to-day as 1t is in the
Democratic party. The Democratic party
OF West Virginia will go as far in proper
measures Tor the elevation OF the negro
race a. will the Republican party. We
say that We Ito not propose to discuss
the decisions Of the United States SUI
preme Court upon any such narrow
basis as that. ID is not an issue that
the decisions raise, or the Democratic
party has raised. II there is nothing
more fundamental and vital at stake
than the mere question Of the right OF a
legro to try a negro, We drop II. II the
,ditor olthe Inisiiigractr cannot see any
ting in il more vital than that, We
drop him

AM nov comes pathetic cry OF dis
trrss from Brazil, Of famine, starvation
and pestilence. The stricken district Is
comprehended between the rivers Par
nahyba and San Francisco. in that part
Of Brazil which is known as the Sertao.
The cause Of the famine is two-years
drought, literally whitening and killing
out the resources Of what is usually a
productive agricultural district. The
people, panic-Stricken, have rushed to
the seaboarl region in hundreds ofthou-
sands, where they are suffering from
dcstitution and disease. A correspon-
dent Of the New York Tribune, who has
looked into the situation, estimates that
10000 people have already died OF ac-
tual starvation, aud that 100000 moro
have died OF disease.
