POOR CONSOLATION.

Mr.. Bslfour chief secretary for Ireland,
writes as follows: 1--WE, of course, receive
endless reports and communications of all
sorts on the subject regarding the potato
crop in Ireland No positive or final con-
clusion can be formed until the potatoes
are dug, toward the end of October, but
all the testimoney that is of any value,
and which obviously is not doctored for
political purposes, appears to indicate
that cry of general famine in Ireland
is absurd, although in particular localities
the failure of crops is undoubtedly serious.
The measures that have been taken by the
government will without question be
sufficient to deal with any real distress
which 1t may be beyond the power Of the
ordinary poor law to meet"

coin which the customer had left on the

francs, the price of the bottle, he bad left
only a piece of two sous. He quickly re-
norted this act of robbery to his employer,

Use good brick with clay, instead of NOR

Besides rice, some cotton and sugar csne
are raised here. cotton paying net profit
of $l5 and cane from $50 to $75 an acre,
although to work cane requires quite an
expensive outfit, and one hand cannot at

This is very fine country for fruits,
surpas sing both Florida and California in
the estimation of men who have come here
to live after residence in both of the
States mentioned. Five acres of oranges
dTLeen years old would net $4,000 year.
The creole orange raised here is said by
experienced men to be fuer orange in
flavor and much sweeter than any other
orange ia Amerlca. And oranges Gun be
raised here as safely as in Florida. One
tree last year bore 8 500, which sold at one
cent apiece or for $S5. Figs grow in
abundance. Grapes of certain kinds do
well. Fine olives are raised here. Most
excellent pears are IA sed. Peaches and
plunls aud some early varieties of apples
are raised and do we'll.
Many kinds of trees, such as figs, plums
and pears take root aud grow from cut

and pressed into the ground, so also do
grape vines. Peaches grow from the pits

The reports reached the Emperor in such credible
form that he deemed it necessary to question Dr.

although the answers received by the Emperor con
WINGED the latter that the reports were groundess
