Enrlish Market FOR Southern Peaches


Mr.. J. Wofford Tucker, of Sanford,
Fla, writes US and encloses a letter from
the firm of Messrs. Robert Tucker q
Co., of London, bearing date July 18th,
1881, from which we make the follow
ing extract:
''Since we wrote you on the 7th inst,
we have had an inquiry for Florida
peaches, in which we think good trade
might be done. In order to arrive in
good condition they must be picked be-
fore they are ripe, so as to ripen on the
voyage. They should be packed in
small boxes, containing about two dozen
peaches each. We forward by this mail
a sample piece of wadding. A sheet OF
this should be placed at the bottom of
the box and another at the top, the
peaches being between. BY this means
the fruit will not bruise. Ten of these
boxes should be done up together Tor
convenience of handling. The value de-
ponds upon the quality and condition IN
which they arrive, and varies from IS
to los. Cthree to fifteen shillingsl
per box. This is wide mar
gin, but we cannot quote more nearly
for the reason stated. We think 1t
would be worth while to send few
boxes on trial, and if it succeeded,
good trade might be started. Nothing
much could be done this year. They
should be sent by the very quickest route
and by fast steamer to Liverpool, as
the steamers to London take several days
longer. We believe from the tenor OF
your letters that you are acquainted with
persons who would be glad to avail
themselves of this market if possible,
and we would deem it favor if you
would kindly place the letter in the
hands of some reliable firm who under
stand this kind of business. We should
be glad if they would send us small
consignment of few boxes as soon as
they can do so, on receipt of which we
will report on the prospects of selling
them in this market.
Mr.. Tucker, our Sanford correspon-
dent, a gentleman of influence and high
standing. represents the London firm Gin
no way related to him) as one of the best
and most reliable in the English CAPT
tai, and we hope our enterprising fruit
growers will not lose this opportunity
to extend their name and fame.

The VACANCY on the Supreme Bench.

The Vacancy on the Supreme Beneh.
A Washington special says; "The
friends Of Senator Edmunds are using
his name as the successor Of the late JUS
tice Clifford, and say that his appoint
ment would be received with great salts
faction by the Republicans all over the
country. It has been known for some
time that Mr.. Edmunds would be glad
to leave the Senate and end his public
life upon the Supreme Bench, and, IT
the appointment should be rendered
him, the impression among his friends
is that he will accept. When the time
arrives for the President to hear sugges-
tons regarding the vacant Justlceshlp
the claims of the South to it will be pre-
sented in a very strong and forcible man
ner.
1T will be remembered that the Ger
man Republicans in the West were
thrown into high state of excitement
some time ago over the appointment OF
Mr.. KahlO, a member of the Indiana
Legislature, as Consul General 10 Berlin.
Although a German, Mr.. Kahlo had
made himself unpopular with his class
10y giving the casting vote in the Indiana
State Senate in favor of the prohibitory
constitutional amendment, and such a
protest was raised by the Germans against
his appointment to Berlin that his COM
mission was Cancelled. 1t is now an
nounced that Secretary Blaine has given
him the Consulate at Sydney, Australia,
a less important post and at less salary. "

The st. Louis Globe Democrat (stal-
wart Republican, gives new version of
the offer made to Senator Conkling of
the Chief Justiceship of the United
States Supreme Court by President
Grant. 1t has heretofore been asserted
that he declined, but the Globe Democrat
says: "He was about to be appointed,
with his own consent, some years ago
bv General Grant, but it was found that
he was disqualified by a clause of the
Constitution which provides that no
Senator or member shall, during the
term for which he shall have been elected,
be appointed to any Office which shall
have been created or the emoluments of
which shall have been increased during
his term of office. The salaries of the
Supreme Court Judges had been in
creased during the term for which MIR.
Conkling had been elected when Grant
thought of appointing him, and the ap-
pointment, therefore, was not made.

PRESIDENT GARFIELp's WOUND

PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S WOUND -
VIEWS OF A LONDON SURGICAL AU'
THoRITY. -Last weeks London Lancet,
the leading medical journal of London,
discussing President Garfeld's wound,
says: Portions of the dress may have
been carried into the wound, and each
abscess that forms is not only direct
source of danger from pain and fever,
and the danger of its spreading deeply,
but with each there is fresh liability TO
blood poisoning. 1t is quite impossible
to feel any certainty that we may not
hear of another abscess, or relapse, and
it is of great importance that the pa
TENTS constitutional vigor should be
maintained at as high pitch as possible,
in view of future troubles. The absence
of fever and of severe eXhau ton re-
moves any cause for immediate alarm,
but until the wound is quite healed and
the bullet either removed or safely en-
cysted there will be liability to recurring
assesses, each attended with the risk of
blood poisoning"

There is more building going on in
New York just now than ever before,
all of the new houses being of the most
magnificent designs. The average cost
of the new residences being erected in
the upper portion of the island is said to
be $3.50, 900. The demand for flats con.
tinues, and number of them, running
in cost from $4,000 to $3.50, 900, are
being put up. The latest novelty in
building materials is Bay of Fundy free
stone. 1t costs less to cut than other
freestones, and is admirably adapted to
elaborate architecture and fine lines.
Atmospheric influences do not affect it.
The colors of different qualities are dark
and light brown, blue, olive, brick-red
and salmon. Large cargoes are arriving
every week

Mrs. Samuels, the mother of the
James boys, whose exploits in the West
ern country have given them an infa
nous nOtOriety, looks upon her villain
Gus progeny as heroes. She lives about
four miles from Kearney, Clay county,
Mo-, and always appears in Kansas City
promptly after the cOmmittal of a con
spicuOus crime. A few hours after the
recent train robbery, in which her sons
are supposed to have participated, she
arrived there in accordance with the
predictions of the police, anxious to hear
all the news and talk about her "boys.
She affirms that Jesse and Frank are
dead, and therefore could not have been
engaged in the robbery; but not the
least confidence Is placed in anything
she may say.

Leo Hartmann, the celebrated Russian
Nihillst, who has successfully escaped
the snares of the acutest detectives in
the world, arrived in New York July
2Sth from Europe. His arrival was re-

Mr.. Hartmann comes to the United

A brief extract from letter written
by Mrs Garfield to a friend in Ohio,
which the Warren Tribune was allowed
to publish, affords a curious contrast
with the reports regarding the Presi-
dents appetite that have been furnished
through the bulletins and correspondents.
The letter was written July 81, in which
she says: "The General is just beginning
to have a faint suggestion of an appetite.
From newspaper reports you would sup
pose that he had been taking beefsteaks
and lamb chops by the quantity; but the
truth is, he has only tasted them to
crafty the doctors, and not always to his
own advantage"
