The Doom of the Orange Blossoms.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
The reader may think the statement incredi
BILE, but we positively assert that our orange
crop is in imminent peril from the ravages of
those little pests, the English sparrows. An
orange tree in this city, which in spite of its
unfavorable situation being shaded by neighbor-
from two hundred to four hundred oranges,
according to the season, has to day less than a
dozen of the fruit upon it. When it bloomed it
gave every promise of luxuriant crop but
hardly had the buds begun to burst when the
tree was invaded by focks of sparrows that ate
the flowers. Now, it will be noted that at the
time the orange blooms there is nothing else for
these wretches to feed upon. No grass seed, no
fruit of any kind, no flowers of any other kind
except clover, and if the sparrows are allowed to
increase and to spread out into our groves along
the coast what kind of crop can we expect
judging from the experience of single tree?'

AN EASILY WON GAME.
The Third Contest with the Cleveland Club Re-
suits in Another Victory for Indianapolis.

The third game between the indianapolis and
Cleveland clubs occurred yesterday in the pres
ence Of a thousand people The playing of the
visitors was rather stupid, and the game was
easily won by the home club. There were few
notable features in the playing and the contest
was altogether uninteresting, as it was one sided
from the beginning Thompson sent the
ball to the right field fence and
made hit for three bases In
the seventh inning McKeon was struck on the
leg by low line ball hit by Phelan, and was dis
abled for moment but he soon recovered.
There was some good fielding by the visitors, but
their work on the bases was bad The score was
as follows:

Two Plants.

Nigh to Office newly made,
A hungry and thirsty stranger strayed;
He peeped through the keyhole, lingering long,
As he chanted strain from an old-time song,
And the sad words fell from his lips so thin
Il want to get in! want. to get in!''
Close by the Office fire there sat,
A well dressed citizen, sleek and fat.
Soft was his chair as throne might be-
But he mournfully played with the office key,
And so5bed, as he listened the strangers shout
III have to get QUIT III have to get out!'

Does Prohibition Prohibit?

MANCHESTER On. d. J Union.
Iowa has stringent prohibitory law, and yet
an ordinance fixing saloon licenses at 81, OOO
New Hampshire, also, has similar law, and
the city councils of Manchester designate the
hours at which saloons shall open and close their
doors, which leads to the oft-repeated inquiry,
said that strong prohibition law is a very weak
one when public sentiment is against it, and the
truth of this is seen on every hand.

The Sunday tatler and Jersey City express. (Jersey City, N.J.) 1883-1886, 1885-05-24

It is said that Sanford Sisco, the con-
demned murderer of Abram Guruee is
turning his attention to literature and re-
ligion. One of his attempts at religious
composition begins thus:
1--WE hear in these days so much boasting of the
advance Of science the discoveries of philosophers
and the achievements of art that we are not sur
prised to learn that this age is beyond all Others
the age of progress. But all the progress made is
not proof that there is an increase of godlness in
the world of true christian, many Of acknowledged
leaders to-day in science and philosophy, yes,
even those who rank the very highest among
them are positive inidels, and very many more
who disclaim absolute infidelity deny the divinity
of Christ Jesus 1t is strange that the christians
in their noisy trumpeting of the stride of science
should lose sight of this momentous fact 1t is not
improbable that all this Wanted progress may
devilish malignity."
A comparison of the first and, two last
sentences in this paragraph with the sec
ond lead to the belief that Sisco did not
write this but merely reproduced it from
memory. There is good deal of truth in
the statement concerning the spread of in
fidelity whoever they originated with. but
as to the ''wickedness of devilish malig-
nifty" it is very probable that the removal
of Sisco will take good deal of that out of
the world.

The State Prison authorities are arrang-
ing to find employment for the convicts,
upon new system known as the Piece
Price System. 1t is only the old contract
system for prison labor in new guise.
Under the old system the labor of the
prisoners was contracted out at SO much
per day. Under the new it is farmed out
on the basis of SO much per piece. The Ia
Dor agitators who brought about this
change without any apparently intelligent
notion of what they wanted to accomplish,
seem to have eyershot the mark. For,
while under the old system, the natural
duty and impulse of the State Prison au-
thorities was to protect the convict as
much as possible against the impositions of
the contractor. it is their interest under the
new, to get as much work out of him as
possible, that his earnings may be as
large as possible. If convict labor was ever
in conflict with honest labor outside, under
the old system, the natural tendency of
the new system will be to make the con-
fict more marked if anything.

There is mourning at the Hotel st. Denis
Atlantic City, even this early in the sea-
son. An apparently fashionable and GER
tainly extravagant couple ran up bill of
$3.50 for couple of months board, one of
the items being 81 week for a room for a
poodle, which like it's master and mistress
must have 'sthe best in the house, When
it became apparent that the couple con-
templated fitting. without the preliminary
of paying their bill the hotel man resorted
to extreme measures and locked the man
and woman in their room on Sunday after
noon, announcing his intention of keeping
them prisoners until they settled. But the
idiotic Boniface who had thus rendered
himself liable for damages finally made a
superlative ass of himself by accepting the
mans check and surrendering their bag
gage, with which they departed by an eve
ming train. OF course when the check
went to the bank on Monday, it came back
marked ssno funds" and the host awoke to
the fact that his name, like his hotels, was
"Denis." The singular, part of this affair
is that the man and woman had both been
he as bachelor and she as a widow, for
several seasons. Then each had money,
cut dash and paid their bills. It was
probably case of marrying for money on
both sides with a mutual disappointment.
