STRAWBERRY CULTURE IN RAP1DEs.
Among the fruits that may be cu'-
tivated at a profit, for New Orleans
and our home market, perhaps none
10 more desirable than the straw
berry, a fruit that meets with ready
sale and yields a handsome profit
Among the successful market gar
deners in this Parish 10 Mr.. Jacob
Irving, our fellow townsman, who
has brought to perfection a remark
able specimen Of strawberry plant,
which he calls the "Irving seedling,' y
yielding q most prolific crop, the
fruit being uniform in size, shapen
round, aattened head, pink In color,
firm but not tough, and without ex.
ception, the most delicious favored
strawberry we have ever tasted. A
plate OF this magnificent fruit was on
exhibition last week at DR.. H. St.
Johns Drug Store; 80 berries weigh
ing one pound, or one half ounce
each. We understand that Mr.. II.
wing intends cultivating 10 acres oil
this particular strawberry plant the
next coming season. He will have
for sale this Autumn q few thousand
plants, which be will dispose of al
81 per hundred. Those who wish
to try them would do well to apply
to him early, there being no risk Of
acclimation and the prices offered are
cheaper than those grown from home
with risk of growing, etc. .

The suggestion that the present

Conkling's successor has no force In
it. 1t can 60 into an election the
second Tuesday after being notified
of the vacancy. Unless it was 80
notified last Tuesday the election
can be held next Tuesday week.
This is the way Frye and Cameron
were elected only few weeks ago in
place OF Blaine, resigned, and Car.
penter, deceased. A passage in
Conkling's letter shows that he so
expects it to act. 1t might, howev
or, upset bis plans If the election
should be thrown over to the next
session. Nor is there anything 10
the suggestion that the New York
Senate can defeat an election by re-.
fusing to vote separately the first
day, or to 60 into joint session the
second day. This method Of OBJ
struction, so popular ia former

the present law. The joint session
con be held the second day whether
the Senate has voted separately or
not. And joint session can be

Inc Now HORSE D1SC0mp0r.
The Washington Star thus describes the
new horse distemper:
A distemper has broken out in this District,
and has suddenly become quite prevalent,
called by veterinary surgeons and stablemen
the Pink Eye" term given it on account OF
the peculiar tint which it gives to the whites
of the eyes of animals affected by it. Dr. JOS
Bushman, well known veterinary practition-
er in this District, says of the disease that it is
an epidemic fever, which appears TO be spread
ing and has, within the past week, become
general throughout the District. 1t appears to
be travelling in a southerly direction, having a
few weeks since first made it appearance in
the northerly part of New York state and in
some localities in New England, and has
since been working its way south and west.
In Philadelphia it has had its run, and is now
| raging in Baltimore city. Ittirst made its APP
pearance here about week ago, and has now
spread over the entire District, and there are
supposed to be over thousand horses at this
time affected by it. DR.. B. says it is not IA
tai disease, and by proper management and
treatment yields easily, especially when the
animals nave good stablng and nursing
Inc symptoms are unmistakeable, and any
intelligent driver can observe its appearance.
Inc most conspicuous indications are a

ing OF the ankles and leg,joint, and a DISPOSE

eyes are dull and heavy. and the whites show
pink color with a little yellow, especially
when the disease is of the bilious type. The
eyes discharge water freely, and in the adj
vanced stage milky matter. These are the
indications of the bilious type
Inc other type is the rheumatic, and in this
the legs appear very stiff and swollen, and the
animal moves with great reluctance; ceases
feeding, with great thirst and breathes quick
~ with accelerated pulse and takes but little
notice OF anything. The doctor says when
