Couldn't Stand the Drain,

Baron Rothschild, of Paris, says the
Norristown Herald, intends to have q
magnificent book published, which is to
be dedicated to the French capital and
to be devoted to the exposition of its in
terests, duties, etc. The Baron, as is
well known, is immensely wealthy, and
takes this method of getting rid of some
of his surplus cash. He was advised to
come to this country and start an eight
page morning daily, but he declined,
saying he couldn't afford to lose more
than two millions year.

The Land Of Oranges.

The state of Florida raised this year
over 100000 oranges, and this was a
short crop. l asked DR.. Harris, the
speaker of the house, to night, what the
crop would be five years from now, and
he answered: "At least five times that
much, or 25O, OOO, OOOr' t.And five years
later?'' '*Ah! figures fail for that COM
pilation,'' he said, laughingly. I have
seen nothing in print that gives an ade-
quate idea of the immensely of the Gull
ture. In the old days orange-growing
was fancy pursuit, INDUCED in here
and there. A grove of 500 trees was
then large one. The finest grove in
Florida is the Speer grove, near here,
which covers only six acres and has $50
trees. The next best is the Hart grove,
at Palatka, which has 700 trees. The
first is worth $4,000, and yields $780,
600 oranges, on the trees $15 thousand.
The crop this year Ga short year), sold
for $4,000 on the trees. The Hart grove
is worth 100000, and yields about &c.
600 a year. The only reason that these
groves are so valuable is that the trees
are about 40 years old, and in full bear
ing. Now, Mr.. Markham, of Atlanta,
has near the Speer grove, with its 600
trees, grove of GOO young trees Just
coming in.'' as they call it. His son,
Marcellus, has 1000 trees, of which on
ly 600 are bearing, and Judge Hayden
a grove of 1000 trees just bearing their
first fruit. Gen. Sanford a grove of g..
600 young trees. Mr.. w. I. Trawick,
of Macon, grove of 5000 trees. From
these figures, samples of hundreds of
others, it will be seen that orange plant
ing for the past few years has been a
business on large scale instead of
fancy, as formerly. For example, Mr..
Markham's grove will produce ten times
as many oranges as are produced by the
Speer grove, now the finest in the state.
Gen. Sanford's grove alone will produce
more oranges than are now produced in
radius of eight miles which has 1872
groves. Or, to make it palmer, Sanford
is the center of the largest orange-pro-
ducing portion of the state. In radi-
us of eight miles from this hotel there
are 1892 groves, with 1926 trees.
These groves now produce 100000
oranges, but only 5per cent. of the trees
in this radius are bearing. When the
other 80 per cent come in, this radius
of eight miles viii produce $4,000, 900
oranges from grove that in six years
will produce 5000, 900; Judge Hayden
1OO, ZOO from 3 grove that in four years
will produce 1000, 900; Gen. Sanford
$4,000 from grove that in six years
will produce 2,000,000; and SO on
through the list. In addition to the ac-
cessions from these groves coming in,
the groves now bearing will increase

To Teresa,
Dear child Of mine, the wealth Of whose warm
hair
Hangs like ripe clusters of the apricot,
Thy blue eyes, gazing, comprehend me not,
But love me, and for love clone care;
Thou listenest with q shy and serious air,
Like some Sabrina from her weedy grot
Outpeeptng coyly when the moon Is hot
To watch some shepherd piping unaware.
Twas not for thee I sang, dear child-and yet
thine;
Pierce to young hearts unsullied by the fret
OF years in their white innocence divine;
Crowned with wreath OF buds still dewy
wet
o what fragrant coronal were mine!

The Oream-of-T Tartar Remedy.

AA0 OAonM-VAeA o1ta1 0ououys
In 1877 well-known correspondent
of The Liverpool Mercury wrote to that
journal as follows:
l am willing to risk my reputation as
public man if the worst case of small
pox can not be effectually cured in three
days simply by cream Of tartar. This
is the sure and never-failing remedy.
One ounce of cream of tartar dissolved
in a pint of boiling water, to be drunk
when cold, at short intervals. It can be
taken at any time, and is a preventive
as well as curative. It is known to
have cured in hundred thousand cases
without failure. I have myself re-
stored hundreds by this means. 1t new
er leaves mark, never causes blind
ness, and always prevents tedious ling
ering.

recommending his select school to par

ceptional educational advantages will
be literally sustained.

The Cotton Worm.

We have examined our exchanges
from parishes south of this, where the
cotton worm appears several days be-
fore it does in this locality, and find no
reports of the appearance of the pest in
numbers in any parish as far south as
the cotton belt extends. The weather,
however, is favorable for its propaga-
ton, except that the temperature is
low and there has been but few clear
hot days. A fair crop Of worms about
the 1st of October could do no harm.
The foliage Of the plant is so thick ii
is apt TO cause rot and increase the trou-
bic aud risk Of health in picking.

A Black Fiend at Largo.

Gov. McI1nery has offered a reward
or $3.50 for the arrest of Robert Butler
and his safe delivery to the Sheriff of
Caldwell. Butler was tried and con-
victed of the murder of two other freed
men in 1880, and was under sentence
of death at the time he broke jail. It
was in the attempt to effect his arress
insthis parish that young Ed. Coates
was accidentally killed by one of the
Sheriff's posse, Butler making good hit
escape during the confusion, although
entirely surrounded. The same des-
perate negro, the Governor is credib]y
informed, is suspected of having MUIR
dered Mrs. Ward, of this parish, some
two years ago, under circumstances
most outrageous and revolving in char
acter, and which will be remembered
by most readers Of this paper, an &C.
count of the horrible deed being given
at the time. The Governor calls upon
the good people of the State to use their
best efforts to secure the arrest of But
Ter that his heinous crime may be ex-
plated, and with this view we append
a full of description of the fugitive:
DESCRIPTION OF ROBERT BUTLER.

rather slender, copper color, smooth

horse trade, in which the negro was
intolerably insolent. The white man,
who was at a disadvantage in not be-
ing armed, was compelled to submit to
the negroes insults for the time being,
but succeeded in decoying him up
town, when he procured a pistol and
proceeded to make it lively for the ne

shots, the first grazing the negroes

escape and it is safe to predict that nc
will be more circumspect in future.
