LOMBARDY POPLARS IN FRANCE
a correspondent of the New York
World, describing how every foot of
tie soil is utilized in France, mentions
the method pursued to supply the
country with fuel by the growth of
Lombardy pOplars. The correspon-
dent says: "In going from Paris to
Geneva, via Dion, we pass through
the best portion of France. For hun
dreds of miles every inch of land is cul-
tivated. The abrupt side hills are in
grape vines and the fiat land in grain.
Here we see the phenomenon of double
crops-a crop of grain and vegetables
growing under crop of trees, the Nor
mandy poplar trees from an inch to
three feet in diameter They are plan
ted thickly but give no shade. They
are trimmed within six feet of the ton.
The bOughs, which are cut off every
year, make fagOts enough to warm
France. We often see men and women
grading wheat or hOeing beets in the
midst Of wood giving no shade.
When you look across the country the
tall bOughless trunks look like black
strcaks painted against the sky. They
made the view very picturesque.
WOOdissOldi in France for One-third cent
a pound. 1t is worth as much as corn
in Kansas by the pound. So when
the Kansas man burns corn he is no
more prOfligate than the Frenchman
who burns fagOts."

that of faith. The other sect is in

their utmost to suppress the name of
the Deity in all languages, even to the
word "adieu -; also, to attend the
death-beds of their fellows and see to
it that they die utterly renouncing

In order to prevent any misappre-
hension, let it he understood at once
that no new dish is intended by the
above superscription. The connec-
ton is merely in print and caused by
the observation that the press OF this
country, and somewhat also the Ger
man press, is measuring two very
valuable and important productions OF
our land with very unequal measure.
While battles are fought day by day
for the purity and innocence ot the
American hog, nobody thinks OF de-
tending American lemons and or
anges.
"Florida' orange culture" il says
in a notice which is making the rounds
OF the press, would have grand
iuture-if only the oranges We're as
sweet as those OF sunny Italy" Even
the New Orleans German GGstffe
brings this notice, although there are
oranges growing in its immediate
vicinity much sweetcr than those OF
"sunny Italy" True, sour oranges
get into the market from there, but
the reason OF il is simply that some
growers cannot or will not content
| themselves to wait until the fruit
ripens. In order to profit by the high
prices prevailing Immediately before
the proper time for harvesting, they
pick and ship the fruit north while it
is yet perfectly green. When it has
reached the hands OF the consumer il
has acquired Il pale yellow color, II
appears ripe without really being so,
and naturally tastes sour. The or
anges OF "sunny Italy" are also most
| " picked before being perfectly ripe,
but during the long voyage ripen mel

better than the unripe domestic fruit,
having had the advantage OF after or
mellow ripening, which the imported
oranges have here. OF late the or

careful not to buy this mans fruit, OF

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Erening Eipress, says in its issue oi
yesterday.
In commenting on the attitude Of
the administration in reference to the
suspension OF silver coinage, the
HERALD remarks: at would be hard
for New Yorker of either party to
take stand on the financial question
different from Mr.. Cleveland's or Mr..
Manning's." The HERALD forgets
that Senator William NJ. Evarts, a
New Yorker OF New Workers, one OF
the first and best representatives ol
the enlightened public sentiment OF
that State, is preparing a speech in
favor of the double standard and the
continued coinage of silver.
The difficulty exists, just as we put
it, and the probability is that Mr..
Evarts will show himself to be one OF
those exceptions which prove the
rule. The HERALD very rarely quotes
itself, but in this case it thinks il can
do so without egotism. This journal
never allows any question OF politics
to prevent its recognition OF Il patriotic
act, come from what source it may.
If the Elpress will turn to the cdito
rial columns OF the HERALD Of De
cemher 23d it will find the following
The silver discussion in the Senate
is pregnant with untold good to the
country. At the conclusion OF Senator
Beck's effort, which must have been
magnificent one, Senator Evarts is
represented to have said, ride this
mornings kilograms, " Beck is right.
" intend to make u speech on the
same line myself. His arguments
cannot be refuted." Silver in
Evarts will find tower of strength.
1t is quite evident that the gigantic
conspiracy OF the age against the
masses embodied in the attempt tc
demonetize silver is going to en-
counter its death thrust in the pres
ent Congress, and no Democrat viii
regret that the eloquent voice of that
foremost Republican OF the nation
VIM. M. Evarts, will he raised in the
good cause. As the chief of the
counsel who defended Andrew John.
son in his impeachment trial he de.
feated II conspiracy against the well
being OF this country OF almost equa
gravity and menace.

DAY DISPATCHES.

SAN FRANoIsoo, December 2S.-Pur-

for Arizona were issued yesterday by
General Pope to companies A and X of

will proceed to Arizona to assist in pro.
tecting the Indians on the San Carlos
reservation from the threatened attack
on them by whites, as indicated in Gov
ernor Zuick's dispatch of the 26th inst.
to the Secretary of War.
A dispatch was received by General
Pope yesterday from General Crook, in
which the latter said he had not been
consulted in regard to the alleged need
of an additional armed force at the res.
ervation, and that he did not want any
more troops. 1t is believed here that
the order of the War Department will be
rescinded before it can be put into exc

PARIS, December 2S.-Grevy was re-
elected President of the French republic
to-day by joint vote of the Senate and
Chambers, the Deputies acting as Ma
Gonal Assembly. The balloting was
proceeded with amid great excitement.
Only five members OF the Right cast bal
lots. Grevy's total majority was 1876.
The space reserved for visitors in the
Chamber was crowded long before the
hour appointed for the election. The
streets in the vicinity wegeaalso thronged
with people. Proceedingsln the Cham Der
began at tfteen minutes after one o'clock
amid considerable excitement. The
President of the National Assembly was
unable to restore silence. Members OF
the Right became so turbulent that the
President Threatened to suspend the sit
ting. The Members of the Right then
asked for time to speak before the vote
was taken, and their request being re-
fused. several of them tried TO gain the
Tribune. A fight ensued betReen a
Member of the Lett and one OF the Right.
Several blows were exchanged before
the combatants could be separated by
their friends. A lul in the demonstra-
tion then followed and the balloting
took place.
During the progress OF the voting
Cuneo De Orauo shouted: "The Ma

duction quite three million bushels OF
barley. In all years Los Angeles
county has produced fully three-iiths
OF all the corn raised ON the
Pacific Coast. These things have
been done in n county whose
most prolific acres could scarcely
command a dollar apiece, taking
them rough and smooth, ten
years ago. The HERALD has always
held up Los Angeles as not only the
finest agricultural and horticultural
region of California, but it has always
maintained that Los Angeles and the
adjoining counties would prove them
selves to be the best mineral region
in the State. 1t took this position
long before the developments at Cal
leo and other points gave authority to
what il might say. We are pleased
to be able to state that gentleman
whose authority on mineral matters
stands high in Virginia City and Ne
vada City, and who has personally
bought some fifty thousand acres in
Southern California, yesterday ex-
pressed the opinion that, from min
eral and treasure standpoint, South
ern California was worth Northern
and Central California put together
and ten times over. This gentleman
said that he himself had shared the
up country estimate Of this section,
but he had satisfied himself by an
inspection of some months of the
enormous oversight which had been
committed. lie looks for bound
less mineral outcome hereabouts.
We do not feel at liberty to mention
his name, but we will state the fact
that he is an ex-Surveyor-General OF
the State of California.
