1t viii be seen from the above compar-
alive statements that notwithstanding
the State tax was increased one mill on
the dollar, the aggregate State and
county tax for 1856 is two f2) mills less
on the dollar than in 1885. So, had the
State tax remained at two and one-half
(23) mills. the aggregate tax for 1886
would have been put 1s1 mills or the
dollar.
We have been informed that Jackson
furnishes the bulk of the increase in the
assessment of this year. We will fur

California and Florida Honey.

Il may not be known to many that.
California is favored with a growth
of foliage especially adapted for the
growth OF honey. The finest produced
in that state is clear white, very
sweet and rich. It is the product, OF
the white sage, with which Southern.
California is abundantly supplied.
The next in quality is from the SUI
mac. This is OF light amber. hue.
and is also sweet, with very fine fla
vor. Another class OF honey is pro-.
duced from the tar weed. This Is.
rather dark in color, and has a bitter.
.ish taste. For this reason it is not SO.

toned, and at tszHes is scarcely salae.
ble- The flavor OF the California hon.
ey is entirely different from. that pro-.
duced in New York state and vicinity,
where the white clover is. the main
source OF supply for the bees to work
upon. Consequently it finds a market
among those who prefer rich and
sweet article for their own use, the
white-sage honey having also a. fine
consistency which at times is much de
sired. TIE New York Mail and Ex-
press, to, which We are indebted for
the above facts, says also that within
short time a few bee culturists have
tried Florida as B honey producing
state. The success which has attended
their, efforts has induced Others
to engage in the enterprise.
1t is expected that one OF
the finest honeys ever produced will
BE- soon in the markets for general
sale. The transplanted bees have
taken a great fancy to the orange
blossom, andfrom it produce a honey
very delicious in flavor. At present
the Florida orange-blossom honey is
a novelty, and commands as good
prices as any brought to the New
York market. If there is anythine in

+ two lovers by q moss-grown spring:
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair
Ind heard the wooing thrushes sing.
Obudding time!
O loves best prime!
Two welded from the portal step:
The bells made happy car ollings,
The air was soft as tanning wings,
White petals on the pathway slept.
0 pure.eyed bride!
O tender pride!
Two faces DER q cradle bent:
Two hands above the head were locked !;
They pressed each other while they rocked,
Those watched a life that love had sent.
O solemn hour
0 hidden power!
Two parents by the evening FIRE:
The red light fell about their knees
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire.
Opatient life!
O tender strife!
The two sat still together there,
The red light shone about their knees;
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left that lonely pair.
Ovoyage fast!
lonely past!
The red light shone upon the floor
And made the space between them wide;
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale cheeks joined, and said, "Once
more!"
O memories!
O past that is!

He could hear indistinctly how his

much to the amusement of the listen
