as strawberries, &C., that can be
planted without danger of failure.
Other parts of the State can raise
plums' peaches, pears, apples, &c,
which southern Florida cannot pros
duce with profit. Cocoanuts, sugar
apples and other tropical fruit will
not thrive North of latitude 27o and
again there are other products that
require still warmer climate. AS
settlers experiment, they will soon
lind out the places that are best suit
ed to each particular plant.
We lived too long in Duval county
not to know that it can produce first
class oranges, but only in certain
locations, and those are few and we'll
protected; but in the greater part OF
the county no time or money can
make grove that will be remunera>
tive. The old settlers learned by
long experience that this was the
case, and made no secret of it. Gov
ernor Reed himself has been planting
orange trees for the last twelve years
or more, and how many bearing sweet
trees can he show? He has num-
Der OF fine sour orange trees, which
are harder and can stand greater
degree of cold.
There are certain locations in sew.
eral of the more southern counties
where oranges cannot be raised, and
we can point out certain spots near
to us, which are subject to cold
streaks that visit them at times, when
no sign of frost can be seen else-
where. Why should the people OF
Duval, or any other county, strive to
impress on others that they have a
climate equally adapted to one par
ticular crop as any other in the State,
when they can grow other crops
equally remunerative, if not more so,
than the orange? Governor Reed
has fig trees that we believe give,
each, as large an ipcome as is pros
duced by any orange tree in the
county. He has location suited to
the fig, hut if we were TO plant them
here, we know before doing SO that
we could not depend on the crops.
Yet we do not get mad and try to
impress on Others that our land is
especially suited to fig culture. Only
one in three OF the peach crops of
New jersey are remunerative, and |
if Duval can give two in three OF
orange crops, they should pay; but
people would rather have those loca-
tions in which they can get fruit,
more or less, every year. In certain
mild years we can raise guavas, but
we do not profess TO compete with
Indian River in that respect. The
line adapted to each product is al
most distinctly marked, and at an,
other time We will lay it out.

Will Bookkeeping Pay!

J. r. s., fn Semi TFopic.
Having spoken in previous COM
munication of some of the prelimi-
nary steps toSbe taken in establishing
an apiary in Southern California we
will next speak of the hive to be
used. A very slight investigation
will convince any one that there is
but one kind OF hive which can be
prohtably used here, and that is the
movable frame hive in common use
among our apiarlsts, and claimed to
be, / believe, the Langstroth's patent.
1t is as simple in construction as it
is possible to make hive, and in
fact l regard it as perfection itself so
far as general utility is concerned, as
we'll as in ease of construction and
cost OF material required to make it.
Each complete hive is composed OF
two boxes of equal dimensions. The
same sized frames being used in each
box, they will admit of combs being
taken from either box and placed
i'll the other as occasion may require,
which will often become necessary
In the successful management OF an
apiary. All the hives in an apiary
should be alike and OF the same color,
whether, painted or implanted, for it
will frequently become necessary,
especially in dividing, to remove one
hive and substitute another, and if
the new hive is not of the same gen.
eral appearance as the one removed,
the bees often will not enter it. This
OF course causes more or less loss
and vexation, and might in some
instances cause the bee man to frac-
ture some OF the commandments.
Bees not only notice the color, but
also the location, for when their hive
has been removed during their abb
sence and replaced by another they
will lnvariabl V call at the front door.
but l. the color OF their house is
changed, they seem to regard them
selves as lost, and will generally try
to enter some other bive, and are
sometimes killed, though if they
come loaded with honey they are
generally received with "open arms"
by any colony, just as our fellows
man is received wheh he applies for
admission to the family circle, bring.
ing with him plenty OF money to add
to the general store. | think the
most economical material for the
body of the hive, and also for bot-
tom boards, is inch rough redwood,
the body of the hive to be we'll
whltewashed. For covers use best
surface redwood, wei! seasoned, the
rough side to be dressed and both
sides we'll painted with Averill pat.
ent paint, which is very much better
in this climate than lead and oil, as
it dries CLASSY hard and will not
"chalk off" when exposed to the
weather. l would use no color ex-
cept white, as white reflects the heat
instead OF absorbing it, as dark colors
will do. BY whitewashing or paint
ing white, you will escape loss by
the melting and dropping OF combs

these the people that the sick look TO

SENATOR THOS. G. PLATTE,
- OF NEW YORK.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 1S.-At 11.4O
o'clock the senate took recess
until noon, when the president an
nounced that the senate would now
nominate United States Senator,
whereupon, in open session, each
senator arose as his name was called
by the clerk and named his candi-
date for United States Senator. All
the Republican senators voted for
Thos. G. Platte, Is, and all the DEM
Gratis for Francis Herman, 6, Mr..
Mills, of Little Falls, being absent.
When Senator Woodin's name was
called he asked to be excused from
voting, and said: ':Iy attention has
been called to paragraph in public
prints purporting to give an address
made by the distinguished senator
who presided over the Democratic
caucus in this city last evening" He
then read an extract from the re-
marks of Senator Fowler, upon
which he commented with some as
perity, and then warmly eulogized
Mr.. Platte. He said: ssThe public
are to be congratulated, not so much
on the fact that he has never apollo
gized for being stalwart, as upor
the fact that his life has been one o.
exceptional purity, and his public
career absolutely without spot OF
blemish.' After the eulogy Senate
Woodin withdrew his excuse ant
voted for Platte.

A Bold Attempt at Robbery.

One of the boldest and best planned at
tempts at robbery in the history of our city
was perpetrated Sunday night. A short
while before midnight. negro who was
unknown, knocked at the house CT Mr.. Y.
s. Lotspeich, in Northeast Knoxville and
called for Scion Lotspeich, who clerks in
the store of W. W. Scarborough s. Co., on
Broad street. He informed Scion that Mr..
Scarborough had been taken suddenly
very ill, and he (the negro had been
sent for. Scion to come to the store
and get a package from the
safe marked as private property of Mr..
Scarborough, and take it to him. Mr..
Lotsreich did rot suspect anything, and
went along with the negro. On the way
he related what appeared to be very
/ plausible story of how he had been coaling
up the ''27'' engine to go outfits engine
went out that same night-aLd Benny
Simcox came down for him to 60 on the
errand. Before reaching the store, how
ever, Mr.. Lots peich began to sus-
pect something, and told the negro
he would have to go to Mr. Simcox's and
get the safe key-although he had the Key
in his pocket. He went to Mr.. Simcox's
woke up Mr.. Scarborough, and found tina
there was nothing at all the matter.
1t was all made up job by the negro
who no doubt had accomplices il
F waiting, and when he had 60
the safe open they would have
bounced upon and made short work of Mr.
Lotspeich and made way with the cash
