In one respect the quick passage Of the
Augusta Victoria is more significant than
that Of the City OF Paris, especially to
Americans, and II is for this significance
that it is mainly worth while TO call at
tention TO it. All commercial nations
had OF one time the stupid code of ship
! ping laws that we alone retain. Our own
law Is modelled upon an English statute
OF the seventeenth century, the perpetua.
: fion of which would have rendered it i'm
possible for British merchants to avail
themselves or the opportunity offered to
them to buy mercantile navy very cheap
when our flag was driven from the ocean
by the Confederate priyateers. II the su.
premacy of the British mercantile marine
Is not now an absolute monopoly it Is
because other nations have been wiser
than we. The merchants of Germany
and France were permitted to buy ships
where they could buy them cheapest and
to sail them under their own national
flags. The result was that both Germany

magnificent and powerful ships enter the
harbor OF New York weekly that not only
fly the German and French flags, but
that were launched from German and
French dockyards. The Augusta Vic.

of the finest British ships, was built
at Stettin. To assume that rs
good ships cannot be built In
American yards is to assume that va have

while the raw material of 1t was cheaper
and more abundant here than elsewhere,
we led the world, and in which our pro.

than to show it. II the raw material OF

DUnUeUE, IA, May 2l.--In an inter.
view yesterday Internal Revenue Col
leetor Webster of this district stated that
the prohibitory law increased the sale OF
liquor in Iowa. This year he has

larger Ano the quality of liquor sold Is
poorer. Not only have the gales in.

Editor Florida A AgTiculturist:
In your issue of the 81 ult. one of your
correspondents, in attempting to throw
upon me theresponsibility for a mis-state-
ment of his own regarding the origin of
the Tardiff orange, quotes from the cata-
louge OF q nursery firm of which / was
then q member, issued thirteen or four
teen years ago, being with one exception
the first nursery catalogue of the State.
The statement he finds therein probably
represents the opinion then entertained
by our best horticulturists.
My opinion as to the foreign origin of
the ''Tardiff" has been SO repeatedly ex-
pressed in print that it is scarcely neces-
sary for me to decline to shoulder your
correspondents error.
/ trust you will permit me to suggestin
this connection that the authorities of
a citri-culturist in this State who is thir-
teen years behind the times must be, in
view of the rapid progress made in the
interval, slightly antiquated.
