Lemon Culture in Florida.

Florida lemons have not generally
found favor in Eastern markets, owing
to their large, thick skins and inferior
favor. A few individuals, however,
who believed the soil OF Florida adapted
for the culture of that fruit as well as
oranges, have been experimenting with
lemon seedlings imported from Sicily
and Messina, and planted them, it is
claimed, with perfect success. A writer
from Lake Poinsett says:
"The lemon produced had much
of the size of the old Florida fruit, but
was thin-skinned, of bright golden color,
and juicy beyond comparison. They at
once took rank in market as the best
lemons that were offered, and commanded
a premium. Sales are reported for GER
tain months OF last season at Sl2. 25 q
| box of $50 lemons. A peculiar fact of
lemon culture is that the imported lemon
can not be raised in Florida from the
seed. Any seed will do for the stump,
but to produce the perfect fruit the
stump must be budded from the i'm
ported tree. The advantages of lemons
| over oranges are that the trees bear
sooner; they bear larger crops, the
fruit ripening continually for eight
|
case with the orange Another advan-
tage is that the season is longer than the
orange, and the opportunity for market
ing at good figures better.
"Since the culture of the lemon has
become general the Floridians have
learned the method of preparing the
fruit for the market. The evenness of
size so notable in a box of foreign
lemons is secured by the use of ring
or 'sizer.' On the Mediterranean lemons
are never left on the tree until they get
their color. An attendant goes to each
tree, passes ring over each lemon, and
when it fits the ring it is clipped and
put in a packing house, where the bright
yellow color is given them by subjecting
them to fumes of sulphur. A packing
house of this sort has been established
by Mr.. Bean, at Jacksonville. He
buys the lemons when green at about a
cent and half each, gives them the
artificial coloring, and sells them for a
handsome advance.

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, March THE st.
James Gazette this evening publishes
the following prominently: A strange
report comes from Brussels that a
convention exists between Germany
and France, agreeing to the annexa>
ton, by the latter, of Luxembourg in
certain eventualities. The above
dispatch is regarded as sensational.
Mr.. Forster, in his speech at Tul>
lamore yesterday, said that he re-
gretted to state that the reports of
outrages were true to a great extent
and reproached the Irishmen's wan
of courage in yielding to intimida-
ton. The government, he said,
was determined that neither land
lord or tenant should mar the land
act. The speech was well received
and patiently listened to. No at
tempt was made to insult Forster,
and he was everywhere courteously
received. The Standard considers
the speech to have been admirable
and courageous.

A Hospital for Animals.

The most curious of all the institutions
of Bombay is the hospital which the
Hindoos have established for animals.
Within the inclosure of several acres.
located in one of the densest quarters Of
the city, the sick and MANNED of all do
mestic species are collected in sheds and
stables for treatment or rest. Every morn
ing early wagons are sent throughout
the city to gather the waits and outcasts.
that nothing with life may be DESTROYED.
IN violation of the Vedic law. Birds. as
well as beasts, are afforded shelter, not
excluding repulsive vultures and the
scavenger crows. Dogs in every stage
of scurvy, full of loathsome sores. barked
and howled in distracting chorus as wa
passed their crowded cages. Cows and
buffaloes of all sizes, old or diseased
and dilapidated, bony horses. stood q,
lay in melancholy silence, as if patientlp
awaiting the relief of death. These
with helpless, deserted kittens, that mnsi
not be drowned; chickens with spots
bare of feathers; monkeys scratching
and tearing at their troubled hides, and
perfumes not to be described, will afford
some conception of this strange asylum.

IT is reported this morning that
the President has rendered the ap-
pointment of Supreme Judge to
Senator Edmunds, and that he de-
clined it. The fitness of such an
appointment would be universally
recognized. Judge Edmunds would
be an ornament to the bench. His
ability as a lawyer is universally
recognized. And yet we are glad
that he does decline. The country
needs his services where he is. He
is great statesman as we'll as a pro
found lawyer. He is the peer Of
any man in the Senate, and in many
respects stands head and shoulders
above all others. There is no public
station, however exalted, which he
would not fill with honor and dis,
tinction.

The death of George B. Wall, of
New York, the particulars of which
appeared in our telegraphic columns,
should serve as a warning to docile
husbands. Wall first stated that
his wife had shot him accidentally,
but when he found that he was go-
ing to die, he made an ante>mortem
statement, contradicting the first and
saying she did it on purpose. Accor-
ding to his statement, his wife was
high-tempered, and he had been
very docile, But he carried his do
cility too far when he permitted his
ill-natured spouse to keep pistol
A husband may safely submit to
broom sticks, or to hair pull
ling, and may even es-
cape serious injury from tongs,
shovels and other convenient articles
of household furniture, but when he
allows his wife to keep fire arms
with which to enforce her imperative
orders for new spring bonnets, he
brings his high Office into ridicule
and is not worthy of a place in the
noble fraternity of husbands. It il
to be hoped that husbands will tax,
warning from the tragic fate of Mr.
Wall, and that they will not bt
guilty of too much docility.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March T.
Under the decision of the chair
man of the committee of the whole,
the tariff commission bill must take
it's regular place on the calendar,
where it stands 54th in order.
Among the bills which must be dis
posed of, or laid aside before it is
reached, is that providing for per
manent construction fund for the
Navy. The advocates of this measure
will probably resist any attempt to
have it laid aside without consider
alton, and in view of the fact that the
opponents of the tariff bill may der
mand the yeas and ria1Son the set
ting aside of every bill which pre-
cedes it On the calendars, the
prospect of an early discussion of
the measure is not promising, unless
the ways and means committee can
devise some way to obyiate the
necessity of passing over the pre-
ceding bills, seriatim.

Arnold Howard and Frank Young,
charged with cattle stealing, were
arrested and lodged in Jail at Del
Norte. The next day an attempt
was made by the prisoners to break
out of Jail, but unsuccessfully. Sat-
urday night 100 masked men, said to

the guards, ordered them to throw
up their hands and commenced firing
in every direction. When the Jail
was broken open the prisoners att
tempted to escape. Howard was
killed outright, and Young was mor>
tally wounded. Howard's body was
thrown into the river. The windows
of the Jail were riddled with bullets.

times, charged with cattle stealing,
and been cleared in every instance
