completed the investigation Of the cases
of leprosy discovered in the delta OF the
Mississippi last summer, and, while he
finds the number OF cases to have been
less than reported, he urges the thor

erection of leper hospitals by the State
and city authorities, denouncing the
practice OF introducing such patients
into the crowded wards OF the Charity
Hospital of New Orleans.

Roscoe Conklior and Paul R George:

LAOSCOC ohA - 49, - NSS@eS'.
Nex Yoik sun.
Roscoe Conkling has taken very diff
ferent course towards President Garfield
from which the late Paul r. George took
toward the late Franklin Pierce.
When Gen. Pierce was running for
President, Mr.. George was among the
busiest and most ardent OF his support
ers. Pierce appeared to place high
estimate upon the value OF Mr.. Georges
aid.
After the election and inauguration,
Mr.. George went to Washington and
kept up his lifelong familiarity with the
President, never doubling that he had a
great stake in the new Administration
which he had labored so arduously to
create. He was frequent, almost con-
slant, caller at the White House; until.
one day, the President, with.a some.
what lofty ali; intimated TO him that
some friends had suggested that it would
be better IL Mr.. tieorge were seen at
The Executive Mansion less frequently.
Mr.. George was very quick witted. lie
did not require a second hint. He com
pretended the situation at the first
glance. He looked the President full in
the eye, and calmly said:
Frank, you and have always known
each other and been intimate friends.
We went TO school together and have
played ball together, been in swimming
many times together. | never before
received an intimation from you that my
company was dissgreeable or undesirable
to You. On the contrary, have had
many reasons to think differently, and
especially during the recent campaign.
Now you are President OF the Uulted
States, and Won are afraid that my COM
ing here will injure your Administrat' on.
Good BY, Frank "
Then, suddenly rising and turning on
his heel, with an air Of lneffable con.
tempt, he took abrupt and final leave oil
the man whom little authority had so
greatly changed.

Fine Grapes.
Froas tie Floridian.

FToRs the FloridiGn.
Col. M. Martin, proprietor of Her.
mitage Vineyards near Mt. Pleasant
Gadsden county, Florida, on Friday,
presented the editor of the FyOridjo1e
with choice collection of fine speci>
mems Of several varieties of grapes
grown this season by him; among
which were the Rogers Hybrid, very
large purple>black, round, of rather
dry favor, with an after.taste of tan
min like the Bullace; the Delaware,
small, delicate, pinkish-brown, and
very pleasant flavor, being much used
as favorite table grape; the Salem,
medium size, uncolored, or rather OF
a rich sea green color, and delicious
flavor; the Concord, whose qualities
are well known; the Perkins, a new
grape to this latitude, large in size,
sea-green tinged with brown in color,
and OF flavor far exceeding in rich.
ness and piquancy. any fruit we have
ever tasted, and the Cynthianna, a
small, dark purple grape, branching
punches. highly>colored juice, and a
flavor more like the exquisitely rich,
aromatic taste of the native wild
grape OF the Western States just after
the first frost than anything else. at
is, indeed, wild grape, first found
and domesticated by cultivation in
Arkansas; its wine product, COL
Martin tells us, took the highest
premium tor the best red wine, at
the Vienna Worlds Fair some years
since.
Shipments OF these grapes have
been going on from the Hermitage
Vineyards for several weeks and the
season is nearly over. Wine is being
made there this year from the Ives
Seeding, besides the usual large
quantity of Scuppernong.
Does it not seem too strange for
belief, considering the successful ex.
perience of Col. Martin in grape cul-
ture, all within the past few years,
that no attention has ever been paid
heretofore by the inhabitants of this
wonderfully productive region, to
