The London Times makes an excellent
showing for buildings erected by the
munticence OF the late George Peabody.
The district of st. Giles, in that city, as
overseen by the Board of Public Works,
comprises the ancient parish of st. Giles
in-the' Fields, Drury lane, Seven Dials,
Great Wild street, the courts and
alleys between High Holborn and Covent
Garden, and the parish of ST. Georges,
Bloomsbury. The district contains, per-
haps, as much squalor and poverty as any
IN London. In st. Giles south the death
rate is 34.5 per 1000 of the population.
while one Peabody building had death
rate of but "a per 1000, and another the
extremely low rate of 1876 per 1000.
Where these buildings stand typhus fever
was periodical scourge, but now none
makes Its appearance.

Tobacco Growing in Florida.

Experiments in tobacco culture In
South Florida have been made on limit
ed scale. and with very encouraging re-
suits. There is little trouble experienced
In growing tobacco in any part OF the
Union, but the soil aud climate OF very linn
tied areas seem TO be especially adapted
TO the finer qualities of the weed. In
South Florida tobacco has been produced
from seed from Cuba that is said to com
pare favorably with the tobacco gro wn
on that island, both In flavor aud appear
ance, and there is reason to believe that
the growing of tobacco for the mauufac-
ture Of cigars equal In every respect
TO those imported from Havana, may in
the early future become an attractive and
remuneratiye industry 10 that section.
The manufacture Of Havana cigars for
consumption in this country appears TO
be gradually drifting across the channel
and centering IN Key West and Tampa,
where hundreds of Havana cigar makers
are employed in converting the Cuban
raw material iuto genuine imported
cigars, albeit tue material and makers
are imported and the cigars arc really
American made. or course the only DIFF
ference between these and the Havana
made cigars is the fact that the duty is
paid on the raw material at moderate
rate instead Of on cigars at high rate.
IL is feared, however, that the Spanish
government Will before long take steps
to protect the Havana manufacturers by
.so regulating .be export duties OF Cuba

A singular occurrence is reported from
county Galway. At Balinasloe this week a
retreat for the Confraternity OF the Holy
Family is being conducted By two friars from
Dublin. Monday and Tuesday was specially
set apart for women and the remaining days
for men. On Monday night very large con-
gregation assembled, among whom was no.
ticed woman of about 30 years of age,
whose dress and style were not at all in keen
ing with the newest fashions. She wore an
ord nary linsey dress, and a cap not adapted
for her years. At the close she had succeeded
in getting to the porch door when some one,
more acute tn. the rest, detected mans
trousers under the skirt. The culprit, seeing
that he was detected, ran toward ca lane,
followed by z crowd of people. The "lady'i
turned out to be stone cutter named Sim
mott. He was arrested. The incident has
caused Indignation among the Catholics.

that the promising "infant industry" of
making Havana cigars i'll South Florida
will he crushed.
II tobacco, equal in every respect to the
Cuban, can be raised in Florida, the Cuban
cigar makers domiciled there can snap
their fingers at their Spanish rulers, and
another important source of prosperity
will be adoed to the many now possessed
by our sister State.
1t is to be hoped these experiments in
tobacco growing will be continued and
gradually extended if they still give
promise OF success. May it not be that
the time is not far distant when the
Florida cigar will be even more highly
priced than the fragrant Havana, just as
the Florida orange surpasses that of
Sicily.
