the Franchise Bill.
LONDON, March 27.-The most important po-
Etical statement that has been made thus far
since the commencement of Parliament was
made this evening by the Marquis of Salisbury,
the leader of the Conservative party in the
House of Lords. He announced that the peers
had definitely decided to reject the bill for the
extension of the franchise in the counties, which
is the great measure upon which Mr. Gladstone
and his followers have staked their political for
tunes. The Marquis continued that the failure
of the great panacea upon which the govern
ment had relied to gid the pills which their
criminal laundering was forcing down the ma

1t is about time that the people of this
State made some effort to organize for
the purpose of being handsomely rep

be wise to localize the exhibits; each

and add it into one great whole. Mexico

A short time since heard the remark
that "a laboring man could not use the

Remembering that have used the new

We need the most nutritious food, and

How to Kill Fruit Trees.

After several years preaching on how
to make trees live, cannot be cohtehleIi
until / have given you the improves
method of killing them. The hrst anu
mostsimportant step is to buy hall-u eau
sickly, scaly, refuse trees OF some holl1

only person who has stock oi tll5

Dig an immense hole, say six feet three
inches deep by four and Il halffeet across
for yearling; larger in proportion i3r d
four-year-old; but be sure and see that
the moon is right before putting the tree
in it's place. Probably it makes no jill
ference to the moon about the time OF
digging the aforesaid hole, yet it might
be well to be on the safe side. II 1t rams
before the holes are all dug, bail out the
water and throw back the loose dlrt 50
as to fill the hole nearly full; then SET
the tree and put the dirt back around
the roots very loosely, and be careful not
to tread on it. If dry weather follows,
the tree will not bear digging around,

ground will settle 4 foot or two, ana the

California Oranges.

The orange growers of California do
not appear to make the same success OF
the industry as their more favored Flor
da brethren. The Los Angeles Times
says:
"Mr. S. X. Sewall, the commission
merchant at San Gabriel, was in town
Yesterday He takes very gloomy
view of the prospect for the orange
growers in this section, as the market
is badly broken in the East, and dealers
do not care to purchase California oran-
ges owing to the condition they have
arrived in for the past two seasons.
There will be fully 10000 boxes in the
county this year, and Mr.. Sewall thinks
that growers will be fortunate II they
realize so cents per box on the trees.
The oranges should not be left on the
trees till June, as they are more liable
to decay. The tariff on oranges at pres
ent is So per thousand, and even at this
comparatively high figure our growers
find it hard work to compete with the
cheap labor of Europe and the islands. .
California oranges do not come into
competition with the Florida fruit, fol
ours are picked and marketed long be-
fore those of California are ripe, there
fore there can be no rivalry betweeer
the two States. We may learn much
from each otherby comparing notes. Cal
ifornia can grow so many otherfruit tina
pay better than oranges that we are
rather astonishd that they cling to it.

until at last the rubber on both sides OF

Gathering Rubber in Brazil.

Writing about the production and eX-
port of rubber in Brazil, Consul-Genera:
Andrews SAYS: "The rubber tree re-
quires growth of twenty to twenty-five
years before it begins to produce, hence
little or nothing has been done for its
propagation. The milky sap which
forms rubber is taken from the wild
tree, which grows scattered through the
forests of the Amazon, and many of it's
affiuents The industry, being princi-
pally in the hands of an uneducated and
half-civilized nomad population OF Indian
mixture, is a crude character. Nothing
has been done to improve the system of
labor. A wasteful and exhaustive sys-
tenn of labor has been followed for half a
century, and the consequence is that
millions of rubber trees have been de-
stroyed and many others abandoned
from premature and excessive use.
There are instances of groves of trees,
which, by careful use and by not permit
ting them to be tapped in the months of
August and September, in which they
change their leaves, have been yielding
for thirty years, land still are in good pro-
ducing condition; but the common prac-
tice is so wasteful that many well-in-
formed people apprehend that, unless
some remedy is applied, this rich re-
source will before long suffer serious
and perhaps fatal decline.
'The rubber tree thrives only on sol
which is annually overfiowed to a depth
of three or more feet, and prefers the
lowest and most recent river-deposits
The rubber gatherers are temporary
souatters, and their dwelling is a hu
with low roof of palms, beneath ONT
end of which there is raised floor o
j framework of lath, one or two yards from
the ground, to which the occupants re
treat at high water" tE
The following description of the process
of gathering rubber was written b.
Franz Keller: marrow paths lead from
the gatherer's hut through dense under
wood to each separate tree, and as sool
as the dry season sets in he betake
himself with his Ratchet to the trees t
cut little holes in the bark. The milk
white sap Immediately begins to exud
into pieces of bamboo tied below, an
having their ends in little clay cups sc
under the gashes to prevent its tricklin
/ dow the stem. He travels thus fror
, tree to tree. On the return visit h
pours the contents of the large bamboo
! into large earthen vessel provide
with straps, which he emptles at HON
into large turtle-shell. Without della
/ he sets to work to coagulate it wit
: smoke of palm nuts, and pours littl
; of the milk evenly on light woode
shovel, which he throws into the thic
: smoke issuing from little narrow chin
