thought his client was absent because he had
mistaken the day. Acting Solicitor General

taken to estreat the bond. Mr.. Fraser ex-
planned that Mr.. Newton, one of Williams
bondsmen, had expressed the opinion that
Williams is hiding out and purposely alb

general to push him.

Florida's Freight Possibilities.

A well known Savannah cotton factor,
who has a valuable orange grove in Florida,
in speaking day or two ago of the rich
field which that State offers TO Transports
/ ton lines made the rather surprising state
ment that one acre of bearing orange trees
furnishes more freight than twenty-five
acres of cotton. The correctness Of the
statement, however, will hardly be ques-
toned after a little consideration.
1t is quite safe to say that not more than
50 30 is obtained for transporting bale OF
| cotton from the fields to any point in this
country, and it is within bounds to place
the average freight collected on a box of
oranges at SOC. The average production of
cotton is one-third of bale per acre, but
put it at three times that amount and say
that each acre planted produces a bale. 1t
appears, therefore, that about all the trans
portation lines of this country get from an
acre of cotton is 81 50.
Prom seventy to eighty orange trees are
planted on an acre, and when the trees are
in good bearing 500 oranges TO a tree is a
low estimate of the yield. This number
Will make two boxes or more. From these
figures 1t appears that the transportation
lines may reasonably expect to get from $40
to $50 from an acre of oranges. Suppose,
however, that the average is only fifty
trees to the acre, and one box to the tree.
Even at this rate an acre of oranges will be
ten times as profitable to the Transportation
lines as an acre of cotton.
Those who have been putting money in
fl.., l. a..
the future for returns on their investments
There are hundreds of orange groves which
are just beginning to bear fruit, and many
hunreds of Others which will begin to bear
within few years. A very large proper
ton of those which have been bearing for
number of years are increasing their yield
every year. Within ten years, therefore,
the freight which the orange groves alone
of Florida will furnish will be enormous.
There need be no fear that the market for
oranges will not be equal to the supply of
them. Oranges can be grown at profit at
&c. apiece, and the time is not distant
when oranges will be as common on the
tables of the poor as well as of the rich as
sugar and salt now are
Imported oranges will never come into
competition with Florida oranges, because
the latter are so much superior that there
cannot be any considerable demand for the
former when the Florida fruit is to be had
In view of the possibilities of the Florida
orange growers, it is not to be wondered at
that the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway is stretching its lines over that
State, and the Ocean Steamship Company
is increasing the number of its steamers.

Mr. Blaine,s Health.

There is a good deal of newspaper talk
about Blaine's health. There is, of course,
great interest in that matter and for verv
good reasons. Mr.. Blaine has been promi-
nent long time in public life, he is the idol
of his party, and many believe, notwith-
standing his letter of withdrawal, that he
will be nominated again for President.
Whether his health is good or bad nobody
seems to know. A press dispatch the other
day stated that in appearance he had grown
old rapidly since he went to Europe, and
that he now looks like man 20 years old.
During the last Presidential campaign il
was said his health was not good, but he
endured remarkably we'll the excitement of
the canvass, and at its close plunged into
literary work with vigor that sick man
could hardly have commanded. Few people,
if any, believed then that he was in bad
health. A long season of quiet and rest in
Europe ought to have added to his strength,
but if reports be true it has not
Is Mr.. Blaine really a physical wreck
There are those who stand ready to DENY
that he is, and they do not allow much
time to intervene between the reports in
question and their denials No doubt they
will deny this last report Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid generally clinches his denials with the
statement that Mr.. Blaine is very much
given to imagining that he has some fatal
disease, while Postmaster Joseph Man
ley, of Maine, falls back on letters he has
received from Mr.. Blaine, in which no
reference is made to i'll health The I'M
favorable reports come from people
who have lately seen Mr.. Blaine. There is
little reason to doubt that they are made in
good faith, and 1t may be that, instead of
receiving benefit from his European trip
Mr.. Blaine has gradually failed in health.
If he was in earnest in Withdrawing from
the Presidential field, a reasonable solution
of his action could be found in the fact that
he realizes his inability to endure the trials
of another campaign.
However, Mr.. Blaine is coming home in
June. Americans are a somewhat impa-
tent people and don't like to wait for time
to reveal secrets, but if in this instance they
will go about their business and exercise a
little patience, their curiosity will soon be
satisfied.

All Talked to Death.
From the Pittsbura Dispntch.

remember an experience which came to a
book agent, who, by exercise of uncommon
strategy, got into the editorial rooms of New
York evening paper some years ago He was
terror. Talk? Bless your benighted soul he
could talk like our silver-tongued Andy Robert
son on the tariff All the reporters put their
names on the subscription list, and the editors
followed suit Yes, even the religious editor a
most profane man, was talked into humility
and signed the fatal list like lamb. The agent
departed, promising to deliver the books and
collect the first installment thereon on a certain
day
That day came around; so did the agent. He
was met at the door of the editorial rooms by
the office boy. There was an ante-room in
which every visitor was halted before leave was
given from within for his admission. The book
ageu:had slipped through before under false
pretense. This time the offce-boy knew him.
and was loaded for him, in fact The agent
asked to see Mr.. -, naming the editor in
chief.
He's dead" laconically replied the boy. He
was the checklist boy ever knew.
The agent started and said he was sorry to
hear that. Was the managing editor in?
He's dead too" was the reply
Are all TIE editors dead" asked the agent
Yes, and all the reporters. They died Tues
day last. A man talked 'em to death, every one
of 'em; and their friends and relations are a.
looking for the man. and if yon don't git out o.
here mighty quick they're likely to find him, and
if they do"
But the agent had fed.

The Boy Who Wins.
From the YOUTHS Companion

from me IOuhS Communion.
Who wins in any undertaking? He who starts
in with resolute determination to succeed and
sticks to IT, In everythi < there are discour-
agements and obstacles TO be overcome. A
pretty illustration Of this is found In the follow
ing anecdote; At one of the mills in the city of
Boston boy was wanted and piece of paper
was tackled on one of the posts:
boy wanted. Call at the office tomorrow
morning.
At the time named there was a host OF bows
at the gate All were admitted, but the over.
seer was a little perplexed as TO the best way of
choosing one from so many, and he said, Nov
boys, when only want one Of you how can
choose from so many"
After thinking moment he called them into
the yard, drove nail into n tree, and taking a
short stick told them that the boy who could
hit the nail with the stick a little distance from
the tree should have the place
The boys each tried three times aud failed To
hit the nail They we're told TO come again the
next morning. When the gate was opened
there was but one boy, who, after being ad-
mitted picked up the stick and throwing il at
the nail, hit il every time.
How is thsy" said the overseer "Wbat
have you been dongY"
Aud the boy said You see have a mother
and we are very poor. have no father, and /
thought would like to get the place and so
help all | can; and, after going home Yesterday
drove nailin the barn and have been try
ing ever since. and have come down this morn.
ing to try again"
The boy was admitted to the place Many
years have passed, and this boy Is now a pros
porous man. His success has come by per
severance.
