A Wonderful Story of Fruits and
EIowaTc

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A great discovery has been made
on the Mojave desert. which seems
destlnedto revolutionize yiticulsure In
Southern California. It has been
found that grape cuttings Inserted IN
the trunks of the cacti on the desert
grow and thrive as vigorously as In
cultivated land. This fact is OF great
Importance to the people. by the
use of chisel a man can plant large
vineyard in a day, and the vine SO
planted will climb the cactus and
grow luxuriously without cultivation
or irrigation. The dry, hot sand OF
the desert will afford fine place tor
drying raisins. In addition to grapes
it has been proved that melons, Gu
cumbers and tomatoes will grow
from cactus stock, so that the desert
may soon bloom as the rose.

Summer Culture for Orange Trees.

NJ, in Union.
Many orange growers have dlscov-
cred that there is such thing as
cultivating orange trees too much.
High culture as practiced in northern
fruit and vegetable gardens is not
adapted to the orange. For instance,
a grove receiving the. highest culture,
not sprig OF grass or weed being
allowed to grow, and the soil con-
stantly and thoroughly pulverized
with the land pillow, adjoins another
which, from absentee ownership or
some other cause, is negligently cul-
tivated and wholly or partially neg>
lected during the summer months.
The soil and other conditions are the
same; yet, strange to say, the trees
in the former have not made salts.
factory growth, and exhibit some
sign of disease, while the latter are

Natures method of renewing the soil
is by vegetable growth and decay it
may be questioned whether the APP
plication of artificial fertilizer will
make up tor lack Of this. However
this may be, the benefit of keeping
the soil stirred and exposed to the
sun and air the year round are de-
lightful, and in midsummer it must
be injurious not only to the soil but
also TO the trees. When high land
is stirred at this season in dry weather
the powerful mid. day sun renders II
dry and hot as an ash bed. During
the. heated term the soil is not entirely
cooled at night. In an early morn
ing the surface may appear cool, but
a few inches below the earth will
still be hot to the touch. This psrchet
the roots Of the trees and prevents
their growth. On low land it il
even worse, as there is damage O.
scalding the roots owing to the prox
unity of water. On the latter sol
"die-back" often results from
excessive culture at this season
The above facts led many growers
in 1879 and 1880 to suspend cultiva
ton during the summer. On high
poor lands producing little growth
except coarse weeds, and in some
/ other locations where the trees Were
cultivated late in the spring, thi

DELAND, FLORIDA.

The Village of DeLand is located
five miles east of our landing, Cd the st.
Johns River, where all river steamboats,
pass; very nearly Ill the Geographical
Center, north and south, of Volusia
county, and almost exactly in the centre
of the
Great Orange Belt.
This place is about twenty-five miles
from the Atlantic Ocean, and is almost
constantly favored with a tempered
Sea Breeze,
and from its elevation above the river it's
location among the pines. and its isolation
from all standing water, 1t is peculiarly
adapted to the necessities OF lnval1dS.
This belt of land is about twenty miles
long, and averages about five miles wide;
is gently unduIating. and, in our immedi-
ate vicinity. somewhat hilly. Om lands are

Jenkses who are either directly or re-
motely connected with it. such people
were necessary several years ago to put
Mr.. Hayes into Office, and they were
deemed necessary by Secretary Sherman

the past and to manufacture delegates
to the National Convention, but Seere-

matter will be sent to Congress for the

THE GREAT POSTAL RIEs.-TI

THE GREAT POSTAL RINe.-THE
HALF HAS NOT BEEN ToLD.-The GA
zETTE yesterday gave pretty full ex-
pose Of such specific cases of rascality
as have been brosght to public notice
in the great fraud committed under the
Hayes administration. But the New
York Times, having already all and
mere too than the GAZETTE has print
ed, still says there are "Those who
claim to knew all the points of the in
vestigation which is being made into the
methods of the Star Route Ring say
that the half has not yet been made
public, and will not be until measures
are taken to bring Brady tojustice and
the penitentiaiy, if possible. The
whole steal is practically divided be-
tween what is known as the Dorsey
gang and the Gilmer and Salisbury
party, the latter, being by far the most
extensive operators in the swindle.
The Dorsey gang is composed of ].
W. Dorsey, J. M. Peck and ]. R.
Miner, who have acted as blinds for
Stephen W. Dorsey, ex-senator from
Arkansas and Secretary of the Repub-
lican National Committee, bidding for
and receiving the contracts. ], w.
Dorsey is brother of Stephen w. Dor
ssy. Only little over three years ago
he was farmer In Vermont, an igno-
rant stupid specimen of humanity.
He was NOT so stupid, however, that
his more brilliant brother could not use
him rs eat's-paw to pull the gold
from the public Treasury, and he was
brought TO Washington for this pur-
pose. ]. M. Peck, the second worthy
of the trio, is q brother-in-law Of
Stephen W. Dorsey, having married
the sister Of the latter's wife, and J. R.
Miner is partner Of the great original
Dorsey himself. He was brought from
Sandusky, Ohio, expressly to go into
the star route business. The amount
known to have been pocketej by the
Stephen w. Dorsey gang in excess of
the amount called for by their original
bids in not less in round numbers than
than $412, 900. What percentage Of
this was transferred to Brady aE hi
share Of the spoils only Stephen W
Dorsey and his partners can tell"
II this Star Route rascality was SC
successfully carried out from year tC
year right under the eyes of the Hayes
Administration what assurance il
there that other Departments as vel
as the Post Office Department has BOT
been just as badly managodf The
Democrats have never been allowed Il
investigate the affairs of any of tn,
Departments. This Star Route busl
ness was denounced in Congress NOR
than year ago. But Brady's impu
dence and cheek was sustained by tn
Hayes Cabinet. Even after Brady
actions were called in question by on
or two Republican Congressman, tn
Republican members insisted on vol
ing the money asked for, and the Cab
net would not permit an investigation
Congress tried to. order it. But til
Republican members would not pei
