equal to the first planting. The pres.
ent crop 1850 is quite good; the
Oldest orchard now being eight years,
and think do not over estimate,
when / state that the yield OF some
OF the best and fullest trees will be
over forty gallons. Trees large
enough to give this quantity of fruit,
planted at distance of twenty feet;
will occupy nearly all the ground,
and therefore give all the truit that
can be produced on one acre. An or
chard bearing uniformly the quantity
as above, would give the following
result: One hundred trees to the
acre at 40 gallons each, 1900 gallons.
This would be an enormous crop, I'M
precedeEted, and tar beyond any sta.
tistics given in European publica>
lions. The oue-tourth of the guam.
tity yearly would be very profita~
Bile crop.
In estimating an orchard, the yield
of isolated trees, or trees OF great
age, occupying considerable areas OF
ground must not enter into the basis
Of calculation OF the probable pros
duction. The tree mentioned in the
San Diego Mission orchard as yield
Ing $50 gallons OF berries was more
than fifty feet distant from those suro
rounding it.
My agent while travelling in Eu-
rope through the olive districts,
measured tree growing in the
"Alpes Maritimes' that was eight
feet in diameter six feet above the
ground, and at the ground fifteen
feet III diameter. Only few trees
OF such size could be grown on one
acre.

How to Cock Rice.

Rice is becoming a much more pop
ular article OF food t han heretofore.
1t is frequently substituted for pota-
toes at The chief meal of the day
being more nutritious and much more
readily digeSted. At its present cost
1t is relatively cheaper than potatoes,
oatmeal or grain>grits of any kind.
In preparing it, only just enough cold
water should be poured on, to pres
vent the rice from burning at the
bottom OF the pot, which should have
close, fitting cover, and with mod
crate fire the rice is steamed rather
than boiled until 1t is nearly done ;
then The cover is taken off, the sur
plus steam and moisture allowed to
escape, and the rice turns out mass

from the other, and as much supe>

The Daily States keeps firing
away at W. Pitt Kellogg, congress-
man-elecF from the third district.
In Tuesdays Issue we find the fol-
lowing:
As the administration is going
so briskly just BOW for the star
route rogues, would it not be the
proper thing for n new grand jury
of the District Of Columbia TO rein
vestigate Mr.. W. 2. Kelloggs con
nection with the robbers? This
worthy representative of the third
district of Louisiana escaped in
dictment US q star-rOute robber, or
as an alder and abetter of the star
route thieves, because a subservi,
ent or corrupt grand jury refused
to hear the testimony of Mr.. Jno.
A. Walsh, which testimony was
subsequently admitted by Judge
Wiley in the trial of Mr.. Kellogg's
indicted couiederates. A man
who escapes indictment for a great
crime by the refusal of a corrupt
grand jury 10 hear testimony that
Il high court afterward admits as
competent in the trial of other par
ties to the same viIlainy, cannot
claim toJe indicated, even thoagh
he be returned elected to congress

Nor long ago, in the q. S. Fed

was in session, at San Antonio,
Texas, prominent lawyer of that
city slapped a gentleman who had
called linn q liar, in the face. The
presiding judge, Turner, fined the
parties S25 each and felt satisfied
that the dignity of the court had
been upheld. That isn't the way
they do things in New York. Re-
Gently a lawyer named Marks
struck another attorney who bad
insulted him, in open conrt. The
Judge, after gravely considering
the matter, said that, mo pecnni-
AIRY compensation affords adequate
relief under such circumstances.

THOSE papers which have been
abusing Governor Crittenden, of
Missouri, for pardoning a man con-
vicied of murder, whom he defend
ed when tried, can now turn their
attention to Gov. Stephens, of
Georgia, who has inst pardoned
two-men convicted of murder whom
be defended when tried. Governor
Stephens mHde an argument of
two bours length. before Gov.
Colqnitt, on an application for par
don by the same men. Governor
Stephens did not believe the men
guilty, and that is the long and
short Of it.

Kellogg has prepared a statement
in which he says that be came to
the state in 1865, was the sixth
man registered under military re-
construction, that he has constant
" voted IN the state since that
time, that he has been four years
governor Of the staie and ten years

that when he ceased to be gov

section 2, OF the q. S. coDstitu- (
ten, or resident of the third con- /
gressioaal district under the pro- /

ton on that subject. He main
tains that Kellogg abandoned his
Louisiana citizenship, if he ever
had any, in 1878; that be disposed
Of bis property and invested in
Washington; that he owns no
property in Louisiana now; that
records of the registers Office here
fail to show that he ever registered
or voted in Louisiana, and a GER
ti6cate is fled from the state reg
lister TO that effect; that he regis
tered in Iberia parish only on De-
tober is, 1882, and that he never
voted there; he never has. and does
not row own property theSe, and .
certificates from the assessor ard !
clerk of the court to that effect are
fled; that the voters of the third
congressional district. prior to the
election, were notified in public
speeches by himself and others, of
Kellogg's ineligibility; that both
law and facts sustain The position
he has assumed, aud that under
Louisiana laws the governor is
both empowered and required to
decide the question Of eligibility.
1t now remains to be seen what
action the governor will take in
the premises.
