A City Agricultural Editor.

An exchange gives the following
monologue from city tired and city
raised agricultu lal editor. The editor
says:
81 would fly from the city's rule and
law-from it's fashions and it's forms cut
loose-and go where the strawberry
grows on it's straw, and the gooseberrv
grows on it's goose; where the catnip tree
is climbed by the cat as she clutches for
her prey-the guileess and unsuspecting
rat on the rattan bush at play: | will
catch at ease the saffron cow and the
cowslet in their glee, as they leap in JOY
from bough to bough on the top of a
cowslip tree; and list while the partridge
drums his drum, and the woodchuck
chucks his wood, and the dog devours
the dogwood plumb in the primitive
solitude. 80 let me drink from the
mossgrown pump, that was hewn from
the pumpkin tree! Eat m u sh and milk
from rural stump, from folly and
fashion free-new gathered mush from
the mushroom vine, and milk from the
milkweed sweet-with pineapple from
the pine. And then to the whitewashed
dairy I'll turn, where the dairymaid

treated for said insect pest, which shall
be collected by the collector of revenue
for said county in the same manner as
other county tax is collected, and re-
funded to the county treasury.
Sec. 6. Any owner or agent on whose
premises insect pests may be found, who
resists the carrying out of the require
ment of the said board of horticultural
inspectors for the purpose of exterml-
mating said pests, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and upon conviction
by any court of the State be fined not
less than $50 nor more than $500, or
imprisoned not less than ten nor more
than sixty days for each offence, at the
discretion of the court.
SEC. T. 1t shall be the duty of said
board to carefully inspect all work done
by their orders before certifying the cost
OF the same to the county commission
ers, and to use all reasonable means for
efficiency and economy, and to inspect
wherever they may have reason to
believe insect pests do exist
SEC. 8. Each memb1r of the board of
horticultural inspectors shall receive as
compensation So per diem for each day
(not to exceed two DAYS compensation
in any monthly spent in the discharge of
his official duties, which amount shall
be certified by the president and secre-
tary of said board to the county commits
sioners, who shall order the same paid
out of the county treasury.
SEC 9. All laws and parts of laws in
conflict with the provisions Of this act
be, and the same are hereby, repealed.
This law appears to be worthy of the
support of the legislators from the
orange section of Florida. At present
we have no law on the statute book to
protect the growers against infection
from his neighbors, who may be careless.
An orange grower, under the existing
conditions may use every effort to keep
his trees free from insects, and his efforts
will, avail nothing if he has neighbor
who does not use the same precautions.
The proposed law makes it compulsory.
The man with an infected grove is given
notice, and if he fails to heed it, the in
tested trees are cleaned under direction
of the inspectors and the expense of
same is assessed against the property in
taxes.

defender ALL RIGHT.
Such Is the Positive Declaration of
- Those Who Built Her.
The Few Slight Accidents
!, Were Unavoidable.
Werkmen BuslIy Engaged In Preparing Her
For the Cup Race. .,

BRISTOL. r. l., Aug. 24.-The many
rumors which have been circulated during
the past few days regarding the condition
of the Defender were given quietus yes
terday afternoon by q positive statement
made by John q. Herreshoff, In which no
Gsid that there was nothing the matter
with the ''crack" boat and that she had
more than met the highest expectations Of
her builders.
The several recent accidents which have
happened to the Defender, including the
fact that she has run aground twice, and
her withdrawal last Tuesday from the
raoe with the Gould boat, have led many
people TO believe the designers and
builders were sadly disappointed at the
outcome Of their labors.
Mr.. Herreshoff said that the newspapers
had used him very unfairly, having pub
liShed many stories in which there had
been not particle Of truth. ''In the first
place." Mr.. Herreshof continued, there
n nothing the matter with the Defender
and never has been. The boat was as
sound as dollar when taken of Of the
ways and Is just as sound today. The re-
ports that her hull had been wrenched,
either on tho ways or In any Of the trial
spins or races, were entirely without foun-
dalton.
Accidents Unavoidable.
The breaking of the first mast and
many Of the slight accidents, Mr.. Herre-
shof said, were unavoidable. Regarding
the action of the Defender on Tuesday last,
Herreshof stated that It was discovered
that the second mast was scarcely strong
enough for the new rigging and In order
to prevent any serious accident after the
steel boom and gaff were placed In posi-
tion, the Defender was brought back to
Bristol In order that she might DO
thoroughly overhauled and everything
done that could be done to prevent any
future accident.
A. soon as the boat arrived, the work Of
overhauling her was commenced. sIn n
abort time she was stripped Of her rigging,
with the mainboom and mainsail lying on
deck. AS soon as the new mast is put In
position, the steel boom will be put on.
The Defender will then be ready TO pro-
tect the cup from the Valkyrie Ill. Mr..
will be completed by Monday or Tuesday
q the latest
The reason why the sloop went aground
On Hog island was because of a miscal-
culation. The Defender draws fully six
foot more water than the Vigilsnt, even
when the latter has her centcrboard down,
and Captain Half did not allow for so
great difference IN the drsft Of the boats.
ne Defender slid on the bar gently, as
the brec.s was only q light one, and she
worked on gradually, 20 that no harm was
done. ...-

the contract and will include it in my re-
port.
Almost Immediately after Mr.. Van

resolution for 8 per cent bonds, and with
it the contract read by Secretary Carlisle.

An Aged Widow Weds a Brother of Her Dead
Husband

Jacksonville, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-The roman
tic wedding of Mrs. Eliza e. VOORHEES,, an
aged widow, to George W. VOORHEES, of
Grand Junction, Col, the brother of her
former husband, has created great deal
OF interest here. 1t seems that her late
spouse, who died about a year ago, was
not her first lover, but that his brother
was. Why they did not marry no one
knows, but George took her wedding his
brother so seriously to heart that he had
remained single all his life. He went out
from his New England home to Colorado,
where he has amassed fortune. few
weeks ago he learned that his former
sweetheart, now widow, had been de-
serted by her only son, Rev. f. f. Voor-
HES, pastor of the First Baptist Church
of this city, who without warming left his
wife and mother without means, his
church without pastor and large num-
Der of creditors. The Colorado brother
took pity on the woman he had loved
years ago and wrote to her, asking if there
was anything he could do. proposal
that followed was accepted. The happy
couple will spend the rest of their days in
Colorado.
