The annual address of the president

line. The first address reviewing the past
history of the society, and promises as
to its future usefulness; the other relat-
ed to horticulture as a fine art and
dwelt almost entirely on the aesthetic
side of the subject. The different ses-

pleasure to all interested.
The paper of Mr.. Vandieman, of Ge-

able and instructive, also showing that
he had given considerable time and at
tention TO the history of the peach.
From his experience he had come TO the
conclusion that all varieties were of the
same strain, no matter what name they
bear, and develop the same from seed.
The president of the Missouri Horti

history from "border ruffian" days, and
the difference in the present social feel

Proceedings OF the Meeting at Law
The fifteenth annual session was called
to order Wednesday at 10 O'Clock at the
Universalist church. President E. Gale,
of Manhattan, in the chair.
Committees on credentials, ETC., were
appointed.
Reports from different parts of the
state in regard to the fruit crops differed
somewhat, but all agreed that the crop
was very light; perhaps not one-forth of
= crop.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Report of committee on marketing
fruit was presented, N. r. Deming offer
ing some good suggestions. The practice
of mixing small apples and large ones is
to be discouraged. A peck of small ap-
pies with large ones, are always detri-
mental to the interest of the producer as
well as the consumer; while the small
apples measure nothing comparatively.
they damage the sale of the whole. The
discussion was participated in by num-
Der of delegates and the subject was
pretty well ventilated. The conclusion
was that it was the best policy to assert
and sell far shipping and home con-
sumption only the best, manufacturing
the balance into cider, vinegar, etc.
An essay on beet culture was then
read by DIR. Bucher, entering somewhat
into the history of the beet as a sweet
ner and its characteristics as borer. In
the evening various papers were read,
interspersed with duets, chornscs, etc, by
different ladies and gentlemen of Law
renee which were well executed, in my
judgment.
The welcoming address was made by
T. D. Thaehcr in behalf of the city, and
in behalf of the county society.
Chancellor Marvin, of the State Uni
versity, made the address. Both were
we'll received Mr.. Coleman. of st.
Louis, not having arrived, Judge New
man, of Wyandotte, made the response
for the state society in his pleasant and
happy style.
Prof Hoss gave very interesting pa
per on 'Village and home adornment,"
showing that the beautiful in art and
nature brings happiness, refinement
and purity, and that adOrnment pays
well in dollars and cents. This closed
the literary exercises for the evening.
Several pieces of music were given,
among which the most noticeable was an
italian song by Miss Drew, which was
much admired and loudly applauded.

THE POTOMAC FREE BRIDGE.
The Comptroller's Decision Asked as to
Preliminary Survey.

The execution of the law appropriating
$4,000 for the construction of free bridge across
the Potomac River has been delayed by doubt as
to the proper construction of the law. By the di-
rection of the Secretary Of War, Colonel Albert, OF
the Engineers Department, made an examination
of the various schemes proposed, and submitted
elaborate report of the facts in the matter. In
order to act ntelligently the Secretary of War de-
cided that surveys ought 10 be made with the
view of ascertaining the cost of the pro-
posed work. But 4 clause in the bill pro-
hibits the expenditure of any portion Of
the $4,000 until the contracts for the work
have been made. There is no other money
available to pay for the preliminary surveys, &C.,
and so the question was referred to the Second
Comptroller. The question simply is whether
clause in an appropriation bill can render Of no
effect the entire bill. The Comptroller has not yet
rendered decision, but ifthe actcan be construed
to allow the use of portion of this money not
estimated to be more than $1,000, for the prelimi-
nary surveys, the work will he at once undertaken,
and upon the information thus gained the loca
ton of the bridge will be decided.

THE MOONS ECLIPSE.
The Beautiful Phenomenon Witnessed
Saturday Night.

The eclipse of the moon at twelve
o'clock Saturday night was one of the most salts
factory that has been witnessed in years
The sky, with the exception of short time as the
moon was entering the earth'S shadow, was clear
and free from clouds. The night was so
fine and the opportunities for obServa-
ton so good that a large number of peo-
pie remained up beyond their usual hour to wit
ness the phenomenon. At the Observatory observ-
ers watched the eclipse through all the phases, and
the beautiful effect produced by the orange rim,
which preserved the outlines of the luminary after
it had begun to go in the shadow, was
specially noticed. The total eclipse &C.
cured about ten minutes after one At
twenty-eight minutes past three the moon had
emerged again from the shadow, and the contrast
from the darkness in which the earth had been
enveopcd to the bright light from the evening lu-
minaTy a very striking one. The eclipse was
visible all through the United States.
