L Commissioner Loring has laid be-
fore President Arthur a report of the
special commission appointed to cN-
anime the swine industry of the United
States. 1t is emphatic in the state
ment that there is no condition sur
rounding the industry which tends to
propagate disease or render pork un-
heaIthtul. From returns from railroad
and transportation companies, slaugh-
ter houses, packers and shippers, con
tirmed by those from boards of health,
humane societies and experts employed
by the commission, it appears that the
utmost care is preserved throughout
that dead hogs are never transported
except to offal rendering establish
ments that diseased hogs are refused
transportation that humane laws and
sanitary regulations exist at all stock
yards, enforced by local inspectors
under penalty of fines, etc; that a
rigid scrutiny is enjoined at all slaugh-
ter-houses that methods of slaughter
and packing, qualities of material
used, inspection, etc, are regulated
by the rules of chambers of commerce
and trade and constant care observed
TO see no unheaIthful means are en-
plOyed in any branch.
The report states that examination
proves our pork is fully equal, per-
hapG superior to that of France or Ger
many. No general disease exists, and
the occasional presence of trichinm is
comparatively unimportant. The re-
port is signed by George b. Loring,
Chairman of the Board L. w. Blatch-
ford, Chicago; Professor Chandler,
New York; DIR. d. E. Salmon, De
partment of Agriculture, and A. D.
Curtis, New York, and in conclusion
says: "While we believe no legiti-
mate ground exists for the restriction
imposed in seine foreign countries on
the importation of American pork, we
are satisfied that a microscopic in
spection of all pork for export can be
secured at packing-houses if such in.

1t frequently happens that the Pen
sion Office furnishes a romance which
reads more like the fight Of fiction
than the stern realities of truth. Con-
gresham Cassidy, of Nevada, relates
an incident which occurred under his
personal observation only short time
ago which shows this to a marked de-
gree. About two weeks ago he re.
ceived letter from man signing
himself Eli johnson, of one, OF. the
small towns of his State, saying that
months ago he made an application
for pension, and his papers were
complete and without flaw, and he
wished to ascertain where the hitch
was and how much longer he would
have to wait. He furthermore stated
that he served during the war in Com
pany +, First California cavalry, and
that the records of the War Depart
ment would show such to be the fact.
Mr. Cassidy went to Commissioner
Dudley and looked up the papers in
the case, when, judge of his surprise,
he found that the records showed that
Johnson was killed in battle, and that
his widow had received. back paw
some time previous to 1879, of a sum
amounting to over $4,000. She, how
ever, believed that Johnson was dead,
had married Mr.. Sill, and was re-
siding in Florida. Mr.. Cassidy com
nunicated these facts to Mr.. johnson,
and the latter answered and said that
he had heard that his wife had died
while he was away to tho war. He
came East and went down South and
claimed his wife, and the couple only

1t is said that there is not one
United States Senator in favor Of the
nomination of President Arthur at
Chicago. His most intimate personal
friend in the Senate, Senator Miller,
of California, has said reluctantly that
he would like to see Arthur reelected,
but that his veto of the Chinese bill
would be used to his disadvantage in
all the Pacific States. The two States
which menace the President most are
Ohio and New York. In Ohio, fos-
ter says that Arthur could not carry
the State, and ex-Secretary Sherman
remembers certain controversy he
held with his former collector of port
of New York, and severe documents
emanatIng from the Treasury throne
about that time, Senator Miller, of
New York, is said to have remarked
that when the time came and New
York was called upon to show the
faith that was in her, il would be
shown that Mr.. Arthur could not carry
the state, and shown in such manner
that there wonld be no sufficient re-
ply. The Senators generally, say that
the President gives them what they
want and they have no complaint Of
him, but that be has no policy and not
much moral courage; and one Of them
compared him to a sturgeon whose
backbone was merely piece Of gTistle. !

Just before the unveiling of the statue Of
Robt. 4. Lee, in Lee Circle, New Orleans,
La, Feb. %, 1884, terrible storm arose. 1t
seemed as If the battling elements were strug-
CLING for the honor of wrestling away the OBJ
scuring veil that hid the majestic statue of
immortal Lee.
Amid the lightlng's binding flash,
Amid the thunder roaring crash,
Amid the storms wild revelry,
We unveiled the statue of Lee.
The storm a wild tornado roared,
The weeping clouds baptismal poured,
Blessing the form of Lee that rose
Grandly, as when against our foes
A tower of strength in the cyclone gloom,
Save, where the lightning flashes illume,
As erst In battle, where the cannon's flash,
Preceded it leaden deadly crash.
And mad reveille the storm king beat
For the spirits of the air to haste to greet
The unveiled statue of Robert E. Lee,
Towering there in its majesty.
The wild wind h0Wled maddened shrek
To see how impOtent they were to wreak
Their feeble strength on that figure there,
"Calm and unmoved as In battle " where
The deafening artillery roaring crashed
And the lightning blaze of battle flashed
And the Blue and Grey a combat waged
As If all the fiends of hell there ragged.
When death winged shot and bursting she'll
Trimmed the ranks, again to swiftly swell
With the Boys In Grey, who left their all
To rally at their country's bugle call
To strike for this country's liberty,
To follow the Southern cross of Lee,
To write upon the scroll of fame,
In deathless light their country's name,
To prove although our Cause" was "Lost,"
How heroic was that Grey clad host,
Whose deeds wreathed In undying fame,
Have immOrtalized the Confederate name
In spite of the storms wild bayonet dash,
In spite of its laundering artillery crash,
In spite of the lightning's fOrked blaze,
Unveiled in its illustrious haze,
Loomed at last imperially
The regal form Of Robert E. Lee,
Standing as a sentinel
To guard the land he loved SO we'll
Keeping watch and word for aye
O'er the gallant Boys in Grey,
Who furled the Conquered Flag that Lee
Enwreathed in Immortality
And, as long as yOn Southern sun
Its shining course shall swiftly run,
So long the deathless name of Lee
Shall thrill the South electrically,
And throw its Pharos-light afaT,
Our cOuutry's bright, beloved star.

The aIlusion of Justice Fenner in
his Grafton on the unveiling of the Lee
Statue, at New Orleans, to the ven

An Orange Grower.

A letter in the Boston Transcript
says: As luck would have it, during
the war the Yankee found his way to
Florida, saw the possibilities, and
after the war was over returned to
Florida and set himself to work to
solve the problem of making some
money out of the wild orange groves.
He cut all the trees in the sour groves
that were not wanted, and budded the
stock with fruit, which plan proved a
success, fruit appearing in from three
to four years. He quickly perceived
the value of this and other fruits
which need tropical sun, and set the
boom agoing that has already attained
immense proportions and is increasing
annually. The orange may be called
the staple product of Florida, so gen
orally is it cultivated. Almost every
enterprising planter has his grove,
which is very tenderly cared for, as
on this he expects to depend for
good income when it gets into bear
ing. Many groves are owned by non
residents, merchants, clerks, and even
by mechanics, who cannot afford to
spend all their time waiting on an
orange grove. Such persons hire their
work done for small sum, especially
where they have not enough money to
go and do all they want to do, such as
build a house, etc. The grove is
cared for by some of the residents.
The grange tree is very prolific
bearer, seldom having an off year.
Fifteen thousand oranges have been
picked from single tree in one sea-
son. This is very extra, however.
The prosperity which Florida is en-
joying is due largely to the push and |
enterprise of the Yankee. We have
said enough about the orange tree for
the present. We can tell you much
about other trees, and what they will |
do in Florida, such as the peach tree
which ripens its fruit in early May), |
also the La Conte pear, japanese per-
simmon, strawberry, and other trees,
grapes, figs, etc, but we fear have
already trespassed too much upon
your valuable space, though you would
be astonished if you knew how many
here are who look eagerly for infor-
nation on Florida. 1t has been our
pleasure to already have posted many,
and advised many to stay at home,

forhey's Progress.
1t is curious that the world has vet
to be convinced that women do not
love to work any more than men do.
They are credited with dependence,
with a love of case and luxury, and
yet when a salaried position is in
question the woman has to take less
because she needs less.
1t cannot be because she spends
less, for the extravaganza of women
was dwolt upon by Solomon and Jere-
mlah, and it is song that has never
known a rest. The reason for the
difference i'll wages is generally found
to be in the assertion that women
who do not need a support or have
few responsibilities crowd into the
paid occupations. There is an incon.
sistency here. If she loves ease why
does she work If she spends more,
how is ii that she needs less!
The truth is that very few women
work from any other reason but pure
necessity. Here and there is one that
loves independence, works for it, and
deserves it, and here and there is an-
other who would rather work than
forego certain Iuxuries, and she earns
them, but the majority of women
work because they have responsible
ties, and as a class they arc our most
reliable, sober and economical work
ers, for no woman with family of
little children squanders away their
bread and butter, or no sister or
daughter who is, of necessity the bread
winner, wastes what she earns, and
comes home to sad, hungry family,
bringing them empty hands and an
indifference to their needs.

A call for a Mass Convention of
American Inventors, to begin March
25th, 1884, in the great Music Hall
and Exposition Building in Cincin-
natl, has been issued. The call re-
cites that "the great monopoIies of
the country have made strong efforts
to destroy the present wise and beRe-
ticent Patent laws, and there have
been none to antagonize the repre-
sentations thus made. To this end
tho inventors of this country have de.
termlned to form permanent organi.
zatIon, wholly and solely for the pur-
pose Of being able by combined
efforts to show Congress and the peo-
pie that it will be detrimental to the
interests of the country to accede to
the demands of the monopolists."
The convention to be held will seek
to adopt some united form of
action, or form State associations.
All inventors and Patentees who can
attend, and desire TO do so, are invit-
ed to address at once the Chairman of
the Executive Committee, ] s. Rerbe,
editor of the american Inventor, 1888

The Legislature at the approaching
session will have questions of grave
importance to the people before it,
and the Representatives to be elected
should endeavor to ascertain the wants
of their constituents and carry them
into effect. The proposed amend
ments to the constitution of the State,
which will be submitted to the people
for adoption or rejection, are of great
importance, and in order that the
people may vote intelligently upon
them, it would be we'll for those who
are to be entrusted with power to
frame new laws should express their
views and give the public the benefit
of their opinions upon them.
Objections have been urged against
the present law authorizing the Gov
ernor to appoint Police Jurors, and
no doubt an effort will be made to
change that act and make them cleo
tive.
