ORANGE CULTURE.

In a former letter to the TIMES I
enumerated the list of Florida products
IN which there was not much bread
and meat, but exchangable commodi-
ties, the orange and the early growth
Of garden vegetables, but the charm is
In the orange and its area is said to be
doubling annually, but possibly that
may be incorrect as many groves are
abandoned and others through misman-
agement prove fruitless. 1t requires
no little fortitude to endure the fulfill
ing of promise twelve years to come,
and an orange tree does not reach
maturity until its 18th or 10th year,
when it will return a profit of 81 900 an
acre. Col, Hart, at Palatka, has a
noted grove of 80 acres, planted in 1885,
which will do better than the above
estimate. Fruit is abundant, the land
fever is up in the nineties, immigration
is increasing and investment in any de~
veloping State is but little risk, for the
chances are that if one grows tired he
can sell to new eomers and the State
goes on.
We came from New Orleans through
the northwest portion of the State,
which is not receiving the impulse of
immigration, but on the high rolling
lands like Georgia, which she joins,
cotton is still the staple. Frost il
accused of killing the orange up there,
and that shows that the immigrant
primarily seeks climate before any
thing else in the Land of Flowers.

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Splendid Ball,

Mrs' WIN. IL. Nanderbilt's ball at ber
elegant Fifth avenue mansion. in New
DIRK, on Tuesday evening of last week
was in all respects a brilliant affair
The decorations were as elaborate &c
possible within artistic bounds The
fireplace was filled in with roses. mign-
onette and fragrant hyacinths in =
variety of hues, and in the doorwavs
the portleres of which were drawn
aside, hung balls of roses. In the
main hall, beside the palms, were high
pyramids OF roses of all the different
popular colors, and making the air
sweet with their fragrance. In the
ballroom, on either side of the entrance
were great pillars of roses. and here
also were arranged screens of smilax
studded with flowers, and in a number
Oh artistic designs, and two fr-tree.
IKE stands of smilax about seven feet
nigh, and from each branch If which
were suspended balls of flowers. Many

~ OF solid cOlors. Most of the debut
ants carried bouquets of white roses
surrounded by the delicate tendrils If
the malden-hair fern. Pink roses were
among the most used, and the bvbrid
roses, with their brilliant colorinG and
crumpled leaves, were also favorites
Over 10000 roses were used in prenar-
ing for the ball.
BY midnight at least 1000 nersons
mad arrived. Before dancing began
the company had time to admire the
new paintings recently hung in the
gallery. Mr.. Vanderbilt has about 100
new canvascs, and for their better en-
Joyment and criticism he will give AN
art reception for gentlemen on Decem-
Der 20. The dancing took place in the
art gallery, the floor having been pol
lshed like ivory. The music was min

tiOns.
Mr.. Nanderbilt's bedroom. with its
handsomely frescoed ceiling. the jan

rooms were duly visited and admired
In the large dining-room Delmonico's
genius reigned, and walters dispensed
all the delicacies, from sandwiches TO
ices and from coffee to champaone
where there was so much to see and
the company was SO divided bv many
rooms there were naturally more
promenaders than dancers. The ger
man was danced the last thing before
the company broke up. Lispenard
stewart was selected to lead it. Mrs.

brilliant jewels and dresses. not to
speak of handsome faces, with the bril-
liant surroundings, was charming in the
extreme to one looking down from the
gallery.
1t is said that the aggregate wealth
represented by the hosts and guests of
the occasion was at least $500, 900.
Six fine looking detectives walked to
and fro among the guests. Their fine
dress coats fitted nicely and their low

LET THE ANGELS RING THE
BELLS,
BY THE REV. ]. f. RANKIN, d. d.

Let the angels ring the bells
Christmas bells!
They first brought the news from glory,
First proclaimed on earth the story:
Let the angels ring the bells,
trimming DER with mirth and gladneSs.
Tumbling, turning round in madness:
Christmas bells! Christmas bells!
Telling that, to shepherds told,
In their midnight hymn of old
That sweet tale once sung by them:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Let the children hear the bells,
Christmas bellsl
With their romping shouts and laughter,
Each the other running after:
Let the children hear the bells!
Do not dwell upon their foibles,
Let them be to them as joy-bellS,
Christmas BELLS Christmas bells!
As they catch them. and glad listen,
See the light in their eyes glisten
Give them gifts of toy or gem:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Let the aged hear the bells,
Christmas bells!
Deaf and palsied, downward STOPPING,
Sad and lone, round fireside grouping,
Let the aged hear the bell
They tight well discern their meaning,
Mem ries of their childhood cleaning:
Christmas bells! Christmas bells!
They have heard them yearly ringing,
Nearer their translation bringing:
Sadly sweet the tale to them:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Let all people hear the bells,
Christmas bells!
In the North, mid heather highlands,
In the South seas, mid spice islands,
Let all people hear the bells!
Hear how Jesus came, a stranger,
And lay Graded in manager:
Christmas bells! Christmas bells!
Woman-born, that He might save them;
How His precious life He gave them:
In the tomb was laid for them:
Christ once born in Bethlehem!
Let creation hear the bells,
Christmas bells!
Cease her signing and her moaning,
Cease her travail and her groaning:
Let creation hear the bells!
Christ has brought her mans redemption,
Christ has brought her sins exemption;
Christmas bells! Christmas bells!
Let her join them IN their ringing;
Let her break forth into singing,
He her tide of woe shall stem;
Christ, once born in Bethlehem!

Oh maiden fair? the Christmas comes
And Christmas snow is iocking
Ihou hast my heart, sweet one or else

Never could such magic weave

best prevent quarrel with your IMAM

draw comfort from the reflection that
your best girl isn't going to break away
from you until after Christmas.

you dote on is almost sixteen years old
and you want to give him a Christmas
present which will please him more
than all the rest he can possibly re-
ceive from others. Very well; give

Acting upon the orders issued from tht
home otli 'es OF the leading lire inRuranceF
in this nountry aud represented 10 u {
United States, the agents cf this Gity have
formed board of underwri'eis. This
board, as is known, was organized in May
last when the Wilmington agents held a
conference with special agents represent
ing the various large companies.
By the rules of the board, which each
company is pledged to observe and its
representatives to carry ont, "a gen
ersl, moderate increase of rates OF insur-
snce" is provided for. A circular ad-
dressed to patrons of the companies
states that "the increase is rendered
necessary from the fact that the insur-
ance business for several years past has
not been remunerative owing to heavy
losses and low rates. For the protection,
therefore, of the interests of the insured
and the companies we are compelled to
act promptly in the matter"
The circular is signed by the members
of the local board as follows:
James Woolley ,Gilpin & Co. LIP. Buck
& Co., L. A. Van Trump, Joseph NJ.
Mather, Arthur Ii. Smith and the Della
ware Fire Insurance Company.
A member OF the board stated 10 a
JOURNAL representative yesterday week,
that the advance did not apply to dwell
ing houses, but TO establishments used
for mercantile and manufacturing pur-
poses. The large fires and old rates of
insurance have eaten heavily into
the surplus of companies, in the last
few years, AID the Stockholders profits
have been considerably cut down. By
the rules of the board each company now
stands upon it's own basis, and there is
no further cutting of rates. The advance
in thia city is from TO 80 cents per 500
over the old rate, the increase to the
latter III ure being few exceptional cases,
and only where the risk is coz sidsred
doubtful.
Since the advance rate schedule has
gone into effect thers has been cousid
erabs falling off in the business, the pro-
prietors OF some large, valuable
buildings refusing 10 take out policies.
Instead they state their intention OF Great
ing reserve fund from the suma that
would annually be spent for Insurance.
The agents here, however, are of the
opinion that those refusing to he insured
will eventually abandon the position
taken, especially il an uninsured build-
Ing burns down.
The profits OF the insurance busi iuess
net the stock holder from to per cent
81 ni-annuaily ss q general thing, but
there are occasional years wien the flivi-
dends are much smaller. The stock in
leading companies has advanced to tucb
a price that person van realize about 4
per cent. IN the investment, in years
when the companies aie fortunate.
