Soul-Stirring Eloquencs.
From the Salt Lake Tribune. |

Old Col. Zell, at the time when Grant was
up for the presidency and when the Demo-
cratic watchword was Anything to beat
Grant," was addressing an enthusiastic
meeting of Comstock Republicans, when a
Democrat, who was changing on the verge
of the crowd" sang out: ats easy talkin,'
colonel, but we'll show you something next
fall"
The colonel was a southern Union man of
the ultra school, and great admirer Of
Grant. He at once wheeled about, and with
uplifted hands, hair bristling and eyes fash
ing FIRE, cried out: Build a worm fence
round a winter supply of summer weather /;
skin the clouds from the sky with tea
spoon ; catch a thunderbolt in bladder;
break hurricane to harness ground sluice
an earthquake; bake he'll in an icehouse; las
so an avalanche fix clout on the crater Of
an active volcano; hive all the stars in a

SHoRTsIGHTED STATEsMANsHIP IN THE
RURAL DIsTRIcTs.-That same old question
whether the rural portion of a town shall
pay for village improvements has broken
out again, this time in Brewer. First the
town voted to construct a sewer. Then
when ii was partly completed the farmers
rallied their forces and repealed the former
vote. The place where the work is stopped
is on the top Of bill with no outlet except
in the open air. The folks along the line
already constructed say they are going to
use it and let the folks in the valley look
out for themselves. Perhaps when the
cholera or diphtheria make their appearance
or the bad smells drive away all the sum-
mer boarders or the incoming residents,
and the farmers taxes take boom upward,
somebody may consider this decision. Ler-

COLONEL PAT DOMAIN ON THE CLIMATE AND
RESOURCES OF NICARAGUA.
The Mosquito Reservation is the great
fruit-growing portion of Central America.
The finest fruit IN tropical America is pro-
duced there. The steamer on which re-
turned to Baltimore is the first Of . new line
of iron steamers, just out of the Clyde. for
Henry Bros l. Co., of Baltimore. From
Buefeds, Nicaragua, she brought back
cargo of the finest fruit ever brought into the
United States In the West Indies and
Honduras the bananas were loaded by
women and children, who carry everything
on their heads. The bunches were usually
about eighteen or twenty inches or two feet
long, and weighed about from twenty-five to
thirty or forty pounds each. The fruit that
we brought from Bluefelds measured from
four to 1--WE feet in length, and weighed 200
to $50 pounds, and two stout men were
required TO handle each bundle of fruit. In
porters pay from 81 to Sl.l5 bunch for
small West India fruit, while this fruit was
sold to the house for so cents . bunch, and
my prediction is that in very short time
there will be a big revolution in the fruit
trade here. This was an experimental

apple weighs from three to four pounds and
is about FIVE or SIX inches in length and
three or four inches in diameter. The pine
apples we took on board 1t Bluefelds ,Escon-

sixteen and eighteen inches in length and
weighed eight and ten pounds, and they are
sold at about 43 cents . dozen, about the
same as the small West India fruit, one be-
ing equal to from two to four. The charm to
the visitor from this region is the wonderful
forest foliage and the flowers. Nearly every
tree bears flowers or fruit. The largest
forest trees-the ceiba tree, for instance
grow to the height Of 80 or 100 feet,
straight as an arrow and without limb. At
that height from the ground it widens out to
vast parasol-shaped affair, literally covered
| with heavy punches of crimson, bell-shaped
flowers. Out of one Of these trees can be
made boat which will carry forty or fifty
men. All their boats are made there of one
piece. l saw great many mahogany boats
