deemed desirable that the two pensions
from the state should be equal-viz., 42,OW

with the Crimean war. In 1865, after TN
death of Lord Ragland, government
brought forward proposition for pension
Of $4,000, to be extended over two lives
On that occasion very similar arguments
to those lately heard in the house OF com

TIE great events OF last week in this city
are sufficient to emphasize all that the
HERALD has ever said touching the great
ness and promise of Dallas. To have cared
for such an influx of strangers and made
such marked success out OF the meeting
of the sengerfest and Press associations re-
ouired a metropolitan hospitality and
resources, and that we were equal to the
occasion is a source Of infinite satisfaction.
No city in the southwest has ever or can
over entertain with a more royal grace than
Dallas. and the fact is constantly becoming
more apparent and notorious that we have
the mos. pushing, cosmopolitan and prom
ising city in Texas. The splendid successes
oil this week are feathers in our crown, aud
The remark seems to be universal that Dai-
las in deed and in truth is the Queen City

Railroad improvements.

Superintendent Kenney. of the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad, and Superintendent Mills of
the Delaware Division, were here yes
terday looking over the ground with
view to putting down an additional
track at the station for the aecOmmo-
dation of the increased traffic that has
largely developed during the year.
Other necessary improvements are
contemplated at Clayton for the large
ly increased traffic of the road there.
It is thought q new station will have
to be erected there in the near future,
so much crowded has become the room
in and about the present one. The one
now in use might be converted into a
restaurant where a good meal or snack
could be obtained.
Superintendent Mills since making
Clayton the headquarters of his divi-
sion seems to regard it of more import
ance than he hitherto thought it enti-
tied to, and is now keeping a watchful
eye over all the operations there, and
as soon as he discovers any change or
improvements that can be made for
the interest of the company and its
customers he inaugurates them at once,
His advent to Clayton has proved to
be wise move on the part Of the com.
pany and has been of material advan.
tage to Its patrons. He takes in the
situation of affairs at once and in order
that peach growers might get the most
money for their fruit he has been max.
ing an effort to get buyers from the
largest cities of the West to come tC
Delaware and buy the fruit at the sta
tions along his division which if done
would prevent over stocking the East
ern market and enable growers to re
alize more money for their fruit.

FloritIa VS.. DeIaware.

ID. w. Trumpeller, who left here be-
tween two and three years ago, resid-
ing most of the time since in Jackson
vile, Florida, has with his wife been
spending several days again in our
town while on visit North. Florida
is, he says, State of rapid develop
ment immense investments are being
made, and new settlers are coming in
in large numbers. In Winter the
hotels are crowded with persons from
the North in quest of the salubrious
climate, and the towns are building up
rapidly. A great many are coming
for agricultural pursuits, who, invest
ing their all, will, he thinks, rue it, as
the land is sandy and unprOductive,
and cannot for some years be made to
yield profitable returns. Many such
who have not money to tide over, may
have to return North minus of what
they brought with them. There is un-
doubted profit in orange culture, but
from the length of time it takes them
to come into profitable bearing, the
business must largely be in the hands
of those who have surplus capital. AS
there are number of persons who are
prepared for such investments, the
planting and development of orange
groves will be a great business in the
State. The climate is delightful the
Summers are no warmer than they are
here, and Winter they have none
Notwithstanding these favorable eli
matte conditions and good business, il
does not seem like home and Mr.
Trumpeller and his wife want tC

The oranges, bananas and othel
semi-tropical fruits are very nice, but
the vegetables are dry and tasteless in
comparison to ours, even the water
melOns and sweet potatoes are lacking
the same flavor and sweetness of thosC
grown here. But the greatest differ
ence in living is in meats. Beef anC
mutton are both tough, sinewy anC
flavorless and milk and butter ar,
among the poorest and meanest of tn,
products. Mr.. T. would rather b,

Mr. COODer.S New House.

The house of John b. Cooper, on
Commerce street between Union and
Pearl, which has been i'll course of con-
for the past four months is
nearly completed and ready for occu.
pancy. The builder, Willard +. Wei
don, finished last week, and the painter
and paper hanger, Jos. f. Carter, will
finish next week.
In building, Mr.. Cooper has had
especial regard to the wants and COM
fort of his family, and the house has
been built of the best material and in
the most substantial manner. This is
manifest in the large windows, 1.-TWO of
them forming double bay window of
more than usual width) convenient
porches in the front, back and side,
pump in the kitchen lone of Cooper
Brothers artesian wells), dumb waiter
to save unnecessary steps up and down
the cellar, sink to carry Off the waste,
closets at convenient places and many
other things going to make comforta-
bic and convenient home. The whole
ground surface is embraced in the eel
lar, a capacious room, in which Il heat
er will be located to warm the house
AS a Summer residence it will be more
than usually airy and as a Winter one
more than usually light. The rooms
will thus be CHEEKY, bright and home
like. The attic is large and has one of
the most comfortable rooms in the
building; the second story has four
rooms, and the lower story the same
number with a hallway and entrance
i'll the middle. The parlor is painted
with walnut finish, gilt paper and orna
mental trimmings to match, the sitting
and dining rooms which are connected
by double door have an oak finish
and papered walls, and the kitchen
walls are painted light lead color.
The upper rooms are likewise neatly
finished, the principal rooms having
slate mantels. The back porch, IA by
16 feet, was designed by the architect
in its convenient arrangement to serve
almost the purpose of Il room, being
constructed so as to connect with the
dining room by window that lifts
from the floor.
In the chimneys Mr.. Cooper has de-
parted from the almost universal GUS
tom now of finishing with terra Gotta
tops, and had them carried out with
bricks. The front will be inclosed
with an iron fence and the side walk
laid with q wide pavement. Altogether
when completely finished, it will be
one of our most attractive homes.

Fhe Evaporating OutIoNIt.

There is no "boom" in evaporatipg
peaches this year and the boom last
year was not in the right direction,
Then there were more peaches than
were fixed by the most careful estimates
and those who bought orchards, as
they mostly did, were considerably
" stuck" This year they are much
below the estimate and the prices in
the city make them too high to evapo-
rate. Hence there is but little evapo-
rating being done. The dry weather
has made itfAyoPahle IA the eyappra-
tors; two Milford men who tested it
with anumber of baskets say the Troths
averaged six pounds of unpeeled pro-
duct to the basket, and ThOs. E. Bailey
near Kenton got 81. This yield was
attributed to the dry weather, but the
rain has come and the peaches will not
turn out so much probably to the
basket; the shipper however makes a
gain by having larger and better fruit.
If there are millions in it for 1883,
our packers have not seen it, but the
DECLINE in the peach market this week
makes the eatl9qk for the evapOrators
more encouraging.

A New Device for Shipping
Peaches.

A Mr.. Cochrane, of Montreal, Canada,
has been in this vicinity the past week
to put to practical test device he has
been at work at for thirteen years, and
he thinks completed, whereby he can
ship peaches to England with perfect
safety. The crate is constructed like
that for shipping eggs, each peach in a
cell to itself, the compartments being
constructed of perforated paper and
the whole so arranged as to give
the fruit thorough ventilation. He
simply claims to assist nature and has
arrived at the secret after great deal
of careful investigation. He shipped
several crates yesterday to Montreal,
and to-day will send several to England
on the SerUiG. He will hear from there
about Saturday week. He picked and
handled the fruit himself from the
orchard so it should not get bruised.
If the fruit carries well, as he is conf
dent it will for he brought hot-house
peaches from England to this country
by this mode with safety the discovery
or invention may be important in many
respects.

There and Here.

The Baltimore Sun makes the state
msnt that the leading grape growers of
Washington County, Md, report that
this years crop of Concord and Kindred
varieties of this fruit will be almost
entirely destroyed by what is known
as the grape rot. This is a very differ
ent state and condition from that we
have from the nnrseFymen in these
parts. The difference may have grown
out of the weather. The hilly regions
of Maryland and Pennsylvania have
been subject to frequent and heavy
rains the Summer through until week
on two ago, and we were told by q
gentleman fFom Northern Pennsylya-
MIA that in 70 days there had beea lhHt
three that rain In some condition had
not fallen, and week before last frost
fell on three consecutive nights, Even
so near us as Cecil County, Md, the
Whig gave expression to apprehension
that the continued rains would cause a
potato rot. All this while we have not
had until last week enough rain at any
one time during the summer to wet
the lower roots of vegetation. But
we are better off than they, for we
have had the early and the later rain''
ia suMcieRt gHaptities to make good
crops without destroying them,
