Yorktown i'm Danger.

According to The Richmond Dis
and extraordinary discovery in connec-
tion with the approaching Centennial
celebration. It will be remembered that
Yorktown, during the late war, was oc-
cupied by the contending armies, and
was for considerable period the head
quarters of several of the Federal COM
manders. Against one of these a con-
spiracy is said to have been formed, and
the most desperate measures were in
stituted and well-nigh carried into ex-
ecution. The entire village was under
mined and dynamite explosives with
electric attachments were placed at
different points, so as to secure the
destruction of every living soul in the
town. The discovery was n pure ac-
cident at the present time. AS a North
ern gentleman was looking at the ex-
tremity of Cornwallis's Cave he came
upon passage just large enough to adj
NIT the body of a man, and pushing
his Investigations found the electric bat
teries, the dynamite bombs and all the
appurtenances necessary to blow York
town out of existence. Of course the
bombs are now harmless That the
mines were never exploded is only ac-
counted for by the supposition that
their intended victims had departed be-
fore the persons who constructed the
mines had completed their murderous
arrangements. The explosives are now
being removed and the mines filed up,
so that no danger will be hereafter in
Cured. The reader will understand
that this article was published in the
DisDdtch April l.

Jay Gould ON Oranges.

"For 300 miles south from Jackson
vile, along the st. Johns river, and
still further north and east" says Jay
Gould, telling reporter about Florida,
which he had just visited, the country
is dotted over with orange groves of
from twenty to twenty-five acres in ex-
lent. It takes about five years for an
orange grove to mature so as to pro-
duce fruit for the market, but neverthe-
less new groves are constantly planted,
and are looked to as a sure source of
revenue. When an orange grove be-
gins to bear fruit it apparently never
wears out. / heard OF one tree which
bears annually from six to eight thou
sand oranges, but that is above the
average"
"What is the cost of an orange
grove ?"
GAS I said," replied Mr.. Gould,
"they vary in extent from twenty to
twenty-five acres, and are worth from
$50, 600 to 100000. But they yield a
handsome percentage. For instance,
Mr.. Hart, who lives just above me here,
owns a grove of about twenty-five
acres, and he informs me that it yields
him net income of from $4,000 to
$40, 600 a year
"I Is this interest growing?"
Decidedly so, and | think that with
in the next five years Florida ought to
be able to supply the'entire demand of
the United States for oranges. believe
that the sweet orange is not native of
Florida, but has to be grated upon the
tree which bears the sour orange. On
one tree you sometimes see oranges,
lemons and lines growing together. OF
course the several fruits have been
grated, but it is interesting and pecu-
liar to Northerner to see these fruits
growing in a happy family on one tree.
1t suggests horticultural paradise. :"

but the county weeklies, with now and
then rare exception in favor of a city
daily. These were enough to keep up
all the political excitement that found
vent in ''the store" where the destinies
of the nation were nightly discussed by
one or two loud-mouthed partisans, the
oracles of the admiring crowd. AS for
letters, the schoolmaster and the domi-
ME had one or two on rare occasions,
and once in year the schoolgirls had
valentines. 1t was only when summer
visitors were in the neighborhood that
the weight of the mail bag was appre-
ciable.
Yet one night in momentary enthu-
siasm for improvement, some one sug-
gested that we ought to have q daily
mail. The plan met with general ap-
proval, and with the desire to encourage
it, 1 observed that if they would sub
scribe to petition for it, I would pre-
sent it in Washington, whittier / was in
tending soon to go.
I eventually received the paper, and
on taking it to Washington, related the
story of our village to the Assistant
Postmaster General, who graciously ac-
ceeded to the demand, "for," said he,

A Senatorial RuSe.

A well-known lawyer of this city,
says Washington paper, tells very
unique story at the expense of SchurZ,
late Secretary of the Interior Depart
ment. 1t appears that certain Sena-
tor was very anxious to secure a clerk
ship for worthy young man from his
State, and after trying in vain at most
of the departments, determined to play
the following ruse on Schurz. He made
the young man file an application at
the Interior Department. The next
day the Senator called on SchurZ and
addressed him as follows:
"Mr. Secretary, / understand that n
young man named -, from my
State, has applied for clerkship in
your department. / have called to enter
my protest against giving him posi-
ton, as I understand he has been boast
ing about town that he intended to get
place without my aid that Civil Ser
vice rules would be in his favor, etc"
Mr.. Schurz promised to look into the
matter, and as soon as the Senator left
he sent a messenger to hunt up the
young man. Upon his arrival Schurz
questioned him closely, and stated that
while there were no vacancies, he would
make one for any young man who had
the independence and moral courage to
attempt to get through the world with
out the aid of O "machine politician.
The young man was put to work the
next day, and is now one of the mos
efficient clerks in the Patent Office, not
withstanding the fact that he got there
