HANDSOME SHADE TREEs.-Orange trees in full
bearing are as numerous as ordinary shade trees
in the streets OF some inland Florida cities and
towns. 1t is common sight just now TO 500 the
sidewalks lined with trees well loaded with the
golden fruit, which nobody takes the trouble TO
pluck. The oranges seem to be as large and fine as
any which command 50 per box in the orchards.
The real reason why the fruit is neglected is
that most of it is sour aud often bitter. Orsng
which grow wild and which are not carefully
cared for by cultivator are poor fruit, and Flor
ida people don't think it worth while to take
them off the trees. But no eight could be more
attractive to northern eyes than that Of the pub
lie walks shaded By the deep green foliage Of the
orange trees in which tho ripe fruit gistens ike
apples of gold.-New York Sun.

Congress-.

Both houses heid two sessions yesterday.
In the Senate sfter the GlzETTEs report
closed the bill to incorporate the National
Conservatory of Music of Amsrica was
passed. The Senate then proceeded to the
consideration of House peDsiou bills on the
calendar, and passed large number OF suoh
bills. The Senate insisted on tho Hawaiian
cable amendment to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill and agreed to
further conference. The House bill for the
transfer of the revenue cutter service from
the Treasury Department to the naval estac-
lishment was discussed but no action taken.
The conference reports on the Iudian ap-
preparation, the postoffice appropriation and
the copyright bills were adopted. 10 ex-
planning the latter Mr.. Plat said IL lei.
every one at liberty to import two copies OF
foreign book by paying the duty on them,
and 1t left newspapers and magazines to bs
imported, provided they did not contain
copyright matter.
The House non-concurred in Senate amend
ments to the agricultural appropriation bill and IT.
structed the conferees on the diplomatic and con.
sular appropriation to insist on their disagree
ment to the Hawaiian Island cable provision. AS
a consequence the conferees struck o1t the cable
proposition.
post office appropriation and the pensio-i appro-
pristion bills were adopted.
The Speaker laid before the House the Senate
Joint resolution amending the act establishing cir
cult courts of appeals by providing that euch
courts shall hold their ii ct session on tho third
Tuesday in June, 1881.
MT Caswell offered an amendment providing
that nothing in the original act shall be constrp ed
in ary wsy to impair the jurisdiction Of tho SUI
preme Court or any circuit court OF the United
States in any case now pending before 1T, in re-
spect to any cause wherein writ OF error or az
psal shall have been issued out or taken to said
court before July 1, 1891.
Mr. McMillin took occ lsion to call attention to
the fact that nearly every important measure
passed under the present rules Ito expedite busi-
ness had to be amended y Subsequent Joint res
olution. This House had opened in confusion,
had continued in confusion, and i. looked IS If 1t
would end in confusion. There was but one con-
ISOLATION and that was that tomorrow the country
could say: THE Lord giveth and the lord tax
eth away blessed be the name of tho Lord"
Laughter and applause
The amendment was agreed to, aud the JOINT
resolution as amended, passed
At 3 o'clock this morning when the press DIS
patches closed, agreements had been reached by
the conference committees on all but two OF tho
