A Louisiana Orange Orchard.

To the Editor OF Ghe Indianapolis Journal:
To-day we had great treat. Through the
kindness of Mr.. Spellman, who has made
many friends during his residence in the
Crescent city, We received an invitation to
visit the celebrated orange orchard belong
ing to Colonel Roundtree. This is the sec
ond orchard in size in all Louisiana. There
were ten persons altogether in our party,
five of them from indianapolis, and after
the usual delay in getting so large
party together we boarded a street car
which took US out past the Lee mon
ument and on through ST Charles street for
six miles. This street is very wide. The
cars run on a strip of ground in the center,
called neutral" which admits of double
track, with little grass plat in between.
The roadway on either side is ample, and is
bordered with fine old mansions, whose we'll
kept gardens are a miracle of roses, wood
bine, great HIBISCUS plants, palm, banana
and oleander trees all in luxuriant bloom.
Oh, the rosesl-red, yellow, pink, white
number and sweetness. Yet tho resi-
dents tell us that now is not the season
for flowers, but later, in February. Yet our
Imagination cannot grasp anything lovelier
than these gardens now. With long rows
of magnolia trees. just outside the fences,
their CLASSY green leaves. Three miles out
we changed our horses for dummy engine,
and without any change of car were soon at
the Carrolton station, where we were to
cross the river. We had been told OF the
great depth of the water and of the under
current, which is so strong statistics show
that only one in ten so unfortunate as to fall
in is ever rescued. Naturally, you can mag
ine we were little nervous, and insisted, as
a body, that Mrs. H., who regretfully boosted
the heaviest weight of the party, should get
into the skff first, so that if she tipped it
over the rest of us would be left to tell the
tale. But once safely aboard and noting the
muscular arms of our rover, we began to
breathe freer, and finally, before we landed,
even to venture a mild joke or so, much the
same as if we were on terra firma. We step
ped ashore at the foot Of the Roundtree
place, and were cordially welcomed by the
Colonel and his sister, who leave
their lovely winter home in the
city to spend their summers at the
orchard. How can paint it SO that you
may see it as did? A great grove of glisten-
ing, waxy trees, loaded down with yellow
fruit Many trees so heavily weighted that
their branches touched the ground with
their precious load. Pretty soon, as our
eyes cleared of the mist OF incredulity which
yelled them at first glance, we noticed tGat
the trees were planted in rows, aud very

The public test of the chemical fire-engine,
given at headquarters of the fire department
yesterday afternoon, was witnessed by several
hundred spectators, prominent among them
Mayor Grubbs and several eouncilmen. The test
was satisfactory in every respect, the engine
performing every requirement. A stream was
thrown about 100 feet through the various-sized
nozzles at hand. The engine, when equipped for
fire, weighs 1920 pounds, carries two extra
charges, and can be refilled at the scene of con-
hagratOn in five minutes Its capacity is 100
gallons, and Chief Engineer Webster is confident
of managing most of the fires occurring with
this engine, thus preventing the dreaded losses
known as water damages

Finding this place healthy, civilized, too,
as compared to New York or Boston, falling
in love with its refinement and beauty in
fact, picked out my house, one marked for
sale, and one which thought might be
within reach of my very few thousand dol
lars, and went to the agent.
"Ah, that house is only about half a mile
from Senator Blaine's and we will have to
ask you pretty good sum, sir; pretty good
sum-"
"Well, put it at your lowest figure and say
at once how much"
''SlXty-two thousand dollars sir"
1t took my breath away. went into the

How much for the little house with the

man had had a bay window annexed to his
