of these guns is sixteen inches. The

So far the only result of the bonn

desertion of the city to the Arab
barbarians, who have burned it,
while Arab Bey has gone to Cairo,
and perchance that city may even
tuaiIy share the same fate. The
most horrible phase of the destruc,
ton of Alexandria, however, is that
the Arabs massacred all the chris.
tians they could find.

Within a radius of eight miles
around the town of Sanford, Florida,
are 1890 orange groves, containing
over $4,000 trees. Only FIVE per
cent. of the trees are 10 bearing, but
these already produce 100000
oranges. When the remaiuing 50
per cent. come in, provided all
things turn out favorable, there will
be yield of 50,000.000 oranges,
which is as much as the entire State
now produces. The result, within
few years, is confidently hoped for,
but there is no species of fruit grow
ing which has more dangers to en>
counter than orange culture. Mean
time railroad building is going on
rapidly, the influx of visitors increa>
ses every year, and the State
wears an air of prosperity.
