Fruit in Russia.

An interesting fact about Russia is,
that in many of its coolest provinces
fruit.growing is an important branch of
industry. In the province of Kazan,
which Is $50 miles further north than
Winnipeg, and where the mercury in
winter sometimes falls as low as 60 de.
grees below zero, apples are grown in
large quantities at q profit. In the
province of Vladimir, which is almost as
cold as Kazan, cherries of excellent
quality are raised in great abundance.
Both apples and cherries are shipped
from these provinces in large quantities.
In these high latitudes fruit trees are
usually small, being not over eight feet
ii height, and are planted in clumps
like stalks of corn. Their low branch,
ing limbs are usually loaded with thu
most luscious fruit, :S=.

For some years past two ladies have
been seen daily passing throug n Ninth
Street, Brooklyn, to Prospect Park,
with an evidently aged, but still noble
looking Newfoundland dog. He usually
walked slowly and painfully between
them. They often stopped for the ami
NAL to rest, only moving when he
evinced his desire to proceed. They
we're permitted to bathe him in the park
lakes. A few months ago he died; q
costly coffin was made for him, and he
was buried in the family lot in Green
wood Cemetery. Inquiry revealed that
several years ago the ladies, mother and
daughter, were wrecked on the Jersey
coast. While being transferred with the
dog from the ship to the beach, the boat
was capslzed. The dog rescued the
daughter. and, returning through the
surf, aided the life-saving crew in bring
ing the ha]f-drowned mother ashore.
Ever afterward the animal was treated
with the utmost affection, and was SIN
cerely mourned when he died Of old
age, ..sE.= 5

Purim Phantom hall.

The Jefferson Literary and Social Circle
celebrated the close Of the Feast Of Purim by
giving at Sanger Hall last night a phantom
ball, ut which only white masks and white
dominoes were allowed on the floor OF the
ballroom.
At 81 O'Clock the promenade began, and
the spectacle presented was a very striking
one as one after another OF the phantom
masqueraders passed in review, until about
seventy ladies and gentlemen went by.
The music was under the coltrol OF MIR.
Henry Laube. who for years past has fur
nished enliyening notes Of symphony for
the Society, but never any sweeter than
those that moved the mystic dancers TO
active effort last night.
About midnight the masks were re-
moved and the dominocs laid aside, and
then the beauty OF the ladies present was
so striking that IL excited universal and
hattering comment. 1t is rarely the case
that more beauty could be seen in a single
gathering.
After the masks were removed the COM
pany adjourned TO the dining-ro0ms ot
Sanger Hall, where MIR. William Zimmcr-
man. the proprietor. had spread for The de-
lectation OF the palatcs Of those present 4
supper that was in keeping with bis rcpG-
tation, and which afforded entire sat.>iac-
ton TO the merry-makers.
Dancing was resumed after supper. and
kept up until late hour, when the fiddle
and the bow were hung up and the weary
revellerS sought their homes, satisfied with
the complete success OF the bail and the
great amount Of enjoyment it afforded.

Tho Southern Exposition.

On the Isl OF August next the Southern
Exposition will open at Louisville, KY,
and continue for one hundred days, its OBJ
ject being to aid in the development OF the
industries OF the South by allowing an op-
portunity for the display OF raw products,
together with minerals and machinery.
Expositons, il matters not how complete
the displays may be, are OF value only in
proportion as the attendance is large.
Many circumstances combined to limit the
attendance ut Atlanta. First. the building
had been so added to from time to time
that when the opening-dly arrived every
thing was in confusion and very few dis.
plays were in readiness. This caused
much dissatisfaction, and FOR weeks the At
tendance was very small. Again, Atlanta
is the centre OF comparatively sparscly-
settled territory; and, though well sup
piled with transportation facilities, the
Journey there from the thickly-scttled dis
tricts North and West was extended and
somewhat expensive, and thus the attend
ance OF the very persons whom it was de-
sired TO reach was much smaller than il
should have Leen. In addition to this, the
West and South suffered severely from the
drought-cropS were cut down or destroy
ed, the farmer was dishcartened, and had
not The means. even when he had the dis
position, to attend.
The lowest estimate placed on the attend
arce at Louisville is half q million, and
from that il runs up to one million. The
latter estimate does not seem eXtravagant.
The centre OF population in the United
States is but short distance east OF Louis
Vile. Travellers can leave New York and
New Orleans and meet in Louisville in
twenty-four hours. Passengers take sup
per in st. Lonis, or Chicago, or Mont
g0meTy, or Chattanooga, or Knoxville, and
breakfast in Louisville. Atlanta, in 1881.
had less than 10000 inhabitants, while in
the three Falls cities there are 200,000, and
at Cincinnati. only four hours from Louis
vile. there are, including the neighbOring
towns, over 100000.
These considerations seem 10 make 1t GER
tain that the attendance at Louisville, both
from the North and the South, will be very
large, and il is all the more incumbent
therefore that our farmers and manuiac-
turers should have an eye 10 the advantages
offered.
The building will cover fifteen acres OF
land, and is 90 feet long and 020 feet wide.
Every device for obtaining light and yenti-
lation will be adopted, and the various ex-
hiblts will be so arranged that one can
easily study every process in the manipula-
ton OF all the articles OF commerce. Al
ready a large number OF very attractive
displays are promised, and the general
manager l. every day receiving applications
in numbers from the North and the South.
The directors Of the Southern EXposi-
ton are now ready to receive applications
for space for exhibits, and the subject Is
commended to the universal consideration
which its importance demands. =.
Mr.. John c. Wharton, commissioner OF
the Exposition, is here, and will see our
people in regard TO the subject.
