In Illinois they have state horticul-
tural society that is noted for its intelli-
gence and enterprise Soon they meet
AM here is the way portion Of their in
vitatiou reads: "a cordial invitation il
extended to district county and local ag-
ricultural and horticultural societies, farm
ers' clubs, oranges, and kindred organize
tions to send delegates, who win be invited
to take part in the exercises"
We consider this a most excellent idea
and commend 1t TO when President Adams
and Secretary Hart when they are arranging
the program for the next meeting of the Flor
ida society. Another good idea would be to
select ere long prominent horticulturists
from all portions of the state to either pre-
pare paper or spe ech for the next meet
ing, setting forth the advantages and dis
advantages met with In the various coun-
ties in which they reside.

The Experimental stations.

Last year we advocated the idea that
congress should appoint three of the ablest,
unbiased and far-seeing practical farmers
in the United States as National Com
mission to thoroughly inspect the various
Experimental Stations in the different
states. 1t looks to US as though the mill.
ions of endowment should be made more
widely and useful We labored long and
earnestly to secure the passage of the
Hatch bill and have pride in seeing it
carried out as it was intended. The law
was made for education in agriculture and
the mechanic arts. But is that the way
they look at it at Lake Cityf Down there
agricultural and mechanical arts are almost
lost sight of and military tactics instituted.
In fact there is too much "dress parade"
and not enough actual service.
Before the session closes there will be
q bill introduced into Congress similar to
what we have alluded to and we sincerely
hope our senators and representatives In
congress will work with hearty good will
for its passage.

Ooe Of the police officers tells good cat
story. He says he was walking slowly
down street approaching corner, when
he saw a cat coming across, picking her
way carefully to avoid several wet places.
At the same time dog came up the street,
In the opposite dlrection-to that in which
the policeman was moving. A second dog
was coming along the othe- street, and
turned the corner behind the cat just as
she reached the sidewalk. They thus had
the cat In a pocket. from which there
seemed no escape but the prospect Of
fierce battle. The officer stopped and was
turning on his heel to see the fun be
thought was coming, when something
caught his coat, and scrambling up his
back. sat on his shoulder, a very much
frightened cat. The officer was hardly
less frightened. for the assault was utterly
unexpected. The cat regained her compo-
sure in few seconds however. and curled
herself down contentedly, while the dogs
ran around sniffiog and whining, wonder
Ing where their prey had vanished to so
suddenly.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

THURsDAY-Jennie M. Buchanan VS.. Lu-
cy Y. Groves. This Is an action brought by
the plaintiff to recover compensation for
her services in the household of the de-
PENDANT from September II. 1886. to Sep
TENDER II, 1890 George r. McQuillan
opened the case to the jury, stating the p0-
sition Of the plaintiff In a clear and con-
else manner. 1t appears that the plaintiff
In 1881. when eleven years old, went to live
with the defendant, under the arrange
ment that the defendant was to give her
her board and clothes, and good home.
In September, 1886, the defendants aged
aunt, who no TO that time had done good
part CT the hOusew0rk, had stroke Of
paralysis; and from that time up to the
day OF her death, 10 the latter part of 1890.
she required constant care and nursing.
The plaintiff claims that during those four
years, from 1886 to 1890. she took care of
the old lady the most Of the time; that she
also did nearly all the housework, receiv-
ing but very little help from Miss Groves !:
that she also did some Of the outdoor work
such as sh0vellng snow and banking up
the house with brush. She claims further
that the defendant abused her at times and
wouidd't always let her 60 out when she
wanted to. She claims compensation for
2O8 weeks at 81 per week. She credits the
defendant during this time with Sl30 In
cash and clothing; making the balance
sued for SOP. A good many witnesses
We're called who testified to what work they
had seen the plaintiff doing in the defend
ants house. On trial.

Darby and loan.

Another edition of the "Darby and
Joan" cards, containing the portrait of the
old blind Matchmaker and his wife, with
verses by Mrs. Cavazza, is now ready for
sale at Messrs. owen & Moore's. This
souvenir is particularly acceptable to Port
land people, at home aud abroad. since all
our citizens have been long familiar with
the patient faces of Mr.. and Mrs. Burke,
waiting on the street corners to sell their
mats, the handiwork of the old man. The
sale Of the cards assures to the worthy
couple comfortable maintenance; and
now that Joan is too feeble to lead sight
less Darby through the streets, it becomes
duty and privilege for others to collect
for them the living which the world GER
tainly owes to worthy persons who, as long
as they had strength and ability have been
always industrious, self respecting and in
dependent. The price of the cards is ten
cents each; so that all can contribute
something to the welfare of good old Oar
by and Joan.

"Tyrolean Harp" comes
as near to being a no0elty

it is, perhaps, and it is
not easy to describe.
Suppose we say it is Tyre
shaped with wire strings
on which a dozen golden
balls suspended by
silken strings strike
and rebound and
vibrate with every mo-
ton, producing a low,
sweet melody that re-
minds you more than
anything else Of a distant
