living in the handsome residence he
purchased of 7. c. Henry, with a bas-
ket of delicious pears. The DR.. has a
plenty more of the same sort for sale.
And on Saturday E. EichOltz, of the
Detroit Nursery, came to the front in
fine shape with a Cuban Queen water
melon, Cassidy muskmefon, Pewakee
apples, orange ounce and seedless pear.
These melons are the best that are rails
ed in this State and are eagerly sought
after, the apples are fine eaters and
good winter keepers, remaining in tact
until June, the orange quinGe is a beau
tiful fruit, and the seedless pear fairly
melts in the mouth and is the most de-
liciOus of any fruit of the kind we ever
tasted, having neither seeds nor core.
Mr.. Eichoitz, in his experiments, has
brought this pear to perfection. The
tree is an early prolific bearer. Mr.. E.
has all kinds of fruit trees for sale at
his nursery.

Several items, including Offensive

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1885-05-22

Miss Cleveland, sister of the Pres
ident, having been absent from
Washington for a week or more the
gossips of the late &. o. p. started
the false and foolish rumor, that she
had refused to longer preside as
mistress OF the White House owing
to disagreement between her
brother and herself regarding the
Use Of wine at the table. A CORES
pondent referring to the matter says
THAT between this brother and sister
there is perfect understanding of
all matters pertaining to their per-
sonal and public affairs, and it is
hardly less than an insult to both the
President and Miss Cleveland, to
construe her temporary absence from
his side rs evidence that they have
disagreed on the question of temper
ance or any other matter" But still
the dear old organs must have some
thing to clash " about, and perhaps
democrats ought not to be SO mean
rs to try to deprive them of what
little comfort they can draw from
such ridiculous stories.
