President Arthur at Yorktown.

AT the Yorktown ceremonies We'd.
nesday President Arthur spoke as
follows:
Upon this soil one hundred years
ago your fCrefathers brought to a
successful issue their heroic struggle
for independence. Here and then
was established, and as we trust made
secure upon this continent for ages
yet to come, that principle of gov
eminent which is the very fibre of
our political systems the sovereignty
ofthe people. The resentments which
attended and for time survived the
clash of arms have long since ceased
to animate our hearts. 1t is with no
feeling of exultation over a defeated
foe that to-day we summon up a re-
membranes Of those events which:
IhaNa Eaakle hnl III iaa Ef0niia xT5as6on
we tread. Surely no such unworthy
sentiment could find harbor in our
hearts, so profoundly thrilling with
expressions of sorrow and sympathy
which our national bereavement has
evolved from the people of England
and their august sovereign; but it is
altogether fitting that we should
gather here to- refresh our souls with
the contemplation of the unfaltering
patriotism the sturdy zeal and the
sublime faith which achieved the
results we now commemorate. For
so, if we learn Alright the lesson of
the hour, shall we be incited to trans
nit to the generation which shall fol-
low the precious legacy which our
fathers left us, the love of liberty
protected by law. OF that historic
scene which we here celebrate ne
feature is more prominent and none
more touching than the participation
OF our gallant allies from across the
seas. 1t was their presence which
gave fresh and vigorous impulse to
the hopes of cur countrymen when
weli-nigh disheartened by a long
series of disasters. 1t was their noble
and generous aid, extended in the
darkest period of the struggle. which
sped the coming of our triumph, and
made the capitulation at Yorktown
possible a century ago. To their
descendants and representatives, who
are here present as the honored guests
of the Nation, it is my glad duty to
offer cordial welcome. You have a
right TO share with US the associations
which cluster about the day when
your fathers fought side by side with
our fathers in the cause which was
crowned with success, and none of
the memories awakened by this an-
nlversary are more grateful to us all
than the reflection that the nation
al friendships here so closely cement
ed have outlasted the mutations of
a changeful century. God grant,
my cOuntrymen, that they may
ever remain mistaken, and that ever
henceforth, with ourselves and with
all the Nations of the earth, we may
be at peace."

Domestic Grape Wine.

The Scientific american gives the
following recipe for making grape
wine in small quantities
"Put twenty pounds of ripe, fresh
picked and well selected grapes into
stone jar, and pour on them six
quarts OF boiling water. When the
water has cooled enough, squeeze the
grapes well with the hand cover the
Jar with cloth and let it stand for
three days; then press out the juice
and add ten pounds of crushed sugar
After it has stood for week, scum,
strain, and bottle it, corking loosely.
When the fermentation is complete,
strain it again and bottle it, corking
tightly. Lay the bottles on their
sides in cool place"
Those who have small quantities of
grapes Or wild grapes near them can
make wine for their own use by tol.
owing the above plan.

Southern Fruit.

In a review of the New York
market, the L'ader says:
A few Southern peaches arrive
daily, and those from South Carolina
and Georgia present very inviting
appearance. They come here all
the way by rail, and at express
speed and freight charges, and con-
sequently cannot be sold very cheap.
There will be some Early Troths

probably sell at the rate OF about
So a bushel. There will be none
from the peninsula for five weeks,
The first Florida watermelons of
the season came here last week.
There will be a good many from
there next week, and by the LIST OF
July the fine large Georgia melons
may be expected at moderate prices.
Plneapples have been unusually
scarce and higher this season. Some
of the very best that have been sold
here came from Key West, Fra.
In fact, Key West piueapples have
now the reputation OF being The best
produced. Several cargoes are ex-
pected from there about the LIST OF
July. The sugar>loat pineapple, the
sweetest, most tender, and best tor
table use, are looked for in quantl-
ties large enough TO guarantee mod
crate prices after the first of next
month.

CORDING TREES.


Much was said some mouths back

The latter appears TO be asure method

neighbor, just from the North, tells
me of most successful though I'M

suspended one end of "a hammock to
a branch OF a shy bearing plum, the
other end to branch of barren but
vigorous apple, and was astonished
the following year to find those parts
of the two trees loaded with fine fruit.
He is trying this on half OF fine
quality FLORIDA plum, which are not
ably poor fruiters. 1t may be proper
to add that the coruing was not con-
tinuous the hammock and cord being

Indian rubber tree was exhibited in
Jacksonville but on examination we
found it to be only the \ or Par

in Florida. The Parasite fig seeu is
carried by birds and deposited in
cavities of other trees, where it takes
root and grows, wrapping TIE tree
until it touches the ground and forms
root, and eventually killing its foster
mother in its fatal embrace. A kind
of gum exudes on the bark being
wounded, of sticky nature, as is the
case with many other trees, but not
in sufficient quantities to be utilized.
In the West Indies the gigantic wild
cotton tree can often be seen wrapped
in the fatal embrace Of the Parasite
fig, which it kills and covers the trunk
within it's folds with its own bark. 1t
