A GERMAN CRITICISM.

Berlin, Dec 4.-The Kolnis-
che Zritung, commenting upon
President Cleveland's message
bearing upon the trade rela-
tons between Germany and
America, refers to the disad-
vantagps with which German
sugars imports to America con!
tend.
The inspection Of American
pork" says Tie Z-itung, sis
merely of local nature and
has not warranted the differen-
tial treatment of the imports by
America, while American insur
ance companies are only sub
ieCtrd TO such regulations as
ara all such institutions IN
Prussia"
The Zritung concludes that
such questions should not he
decided in moment of anger
bot should be settled in a man
ner agreeable to both countries
after careful consideration of
all that may be said of and
against. Undoubtedly, it thinks,
this is also President Cleve
lands desire.

A Gentlemen From the Southwest

San Antonio Express.
There is at present in this
city a gentleman from the lower
Rio Grande than whom there
is none better acquainted with
the soil and country This gen.
tleman has lived in that sec
ton a number of years and has
travelled extensively in the con-
ltiguous parts of Mexico. He
believes that the sun does not
shine OH country more rich
/ in natural resources, and this
belief causes him especially to
depiore the fact that it is un-
penetrated by railroad, and
still an isolated region. 1t is
/
probably snperHons to add that
he advocates very earnestly the
building of the prosposed San
Antonio and Brownsville road.
and not only its building, but
its extension atross the Rio
Grande into a country, which,
he says, is no less rich than
that on this side Of the river.
In conversation with re
porter for the Express last
night this gentleman spoke
freely and interestingly of the
country which it would pene
trate, but he declined to per
NIT the use of his name.
"a railroad from San Anton
10 on a direct line to Browns
Vile would be about 800 miles
long" he said 1T would run

Not only is the soil as fertile
as can be found, but there is
combined with This the endow-
ment of a climate which com
pares with he soil TO make
the section an agricultural par
adise. Such a road would ruin

cattle ranches in Southwest
Texas, ship year. These ranch
es alones would afford a very
inviting traffic to any road
In addition to this there is no

and cotton. | say positively
that the land on he Rio Grande
is the richest in the United

Rich Islands in Florida.
From the Jacksonville Times-Union.


Frank j. Hinson found two magnificent
orange groves few weeks ago in the big
cypress swamp of far south Florida. No
man has valid claim to the property, the
groves being in the middle Of one Of the
most impregnable swamps in the whole
State. Up to 10 years ago the Big Cy-
press was put down on the map as Sim
practicable and "unsurveyed. " Then
it was surveyed, and islands of fine hum
mock land were found here and there, but
they were not of sufficient size to tempt
ANYBODY. The section lines, which ran
mile apart, seemed to have missed the
groves, which Mr.. Hinson got wind of
from an old Indian fighter, who chased
the Seminoles into the Big Cypress and
out again during the last Indian war. On
one of these islands during the war vii
LACE was found and burned.
Mr.. Hinson, with an old hunter as a
guide, penetrated into the swamp and
found an island of about 800 acres, beau
tifulIy wooded and containing fully 600
sour trees, all in full leaf and fruit The
island did not contain solid grove, but a
series of groves, some of them being as
large as three acres. 1.-THE fruit is sour,
but it is large and golden. The trees
average 25 feet in height.
On this island Mr.. Hinson also found
acres of sugar cane, evidently planted by
the Seminoles years ago 1t is of mann
moth size, and the quality is excellent.
Banana plants were also found in abund-
ance and heavy with fruit.
Later Mr. Hinson penetrated further
into the swamp and found another land,
richer in orange trees than the first.
Both islands seem to be wonderfully
fertile, trees of all kinds being giants in
size and other vegetable growth of the
most luxuriant character, One India rub
Der tree was found to measure 22 feet
around, while live oak tree measured 81
feet. Wild figs were also growing luxu~
riantly. Mr.. Hinson' theory is that these
islands, naturally fertile, we're centuries
ago the rookeries of millions of water fowl
and thus became fertilized to the highest
deoree of perfection.

Irene in all the splendor of her gala dress
for it was Greek festival that day-radl-
ant in purple, in silver and gold. had
found it warm in packing and was standing
without coat or waistcoat, Maltese straw
hat on my head, looking somewhat like a
British sailor in summer attire. She
stepped forward and gave me her hand.
Her eyes glistened-and the thought
flashed through my mind that it was the
last time should ever see her. She may
have had much the same thoug ght.
"You have come to bid me goodby,
irene, | said But she hardly let me
finish the sentence. She threw her arms
around my neck and kissed me--as queen
might have kissed sailor Then, while
her soft white hands clasped my neck, she
said Must you then 90? Stay with
me, my life :
She would not have spoken in vain. 1t
seemed to me as though soft, tanning wings
were stirring up the passion which had
long lain dormant in my heart and were
making it burn and glow, and | began to
feel as if my heart were some infammable
material which would burst into an uncon-
trolluble flame stood speechless, prey
to contending emotions. Presently bent
down over the sweet girl who, as she per-
ceived this. raised herself, clasped her
arms more tightly round my neck and
pressed her mouth TO mine so lovingly, 50
passionately, so intOxicatingly,
Suddenly Kyria Maria appeared ut the
door to bid me goodby, We had hardly
sense enough left to feel confused at her
sudden appearance. She looked at us in
some surprise, but smiled benevolently, as
if we were two children, and she forgave
us. as we would not do it again. | did
not understand one half of what she said
TO me- for | was looking all the time at
Irene, who, with her handkerchief to her
eyes. was standing at the window, with
her back to us. At length Jorgi dashed
in with the news that the horses were
ready and were waiting below, This reused
me- took up my coat and cloak, bade
my four walls adieu and descended the
stairs in silence. Aunt and niece followed
me, equally silent,
mounted my horse. Kyria Mari ad-
vanced toward me, gave me her hand,
wishing me ''polla, etc" many years
begged me to greet my father and mother
in Germany for her and hoped should
have a safe and pleasant journey.
Then Irene-now somewhat calmer-
stretched out her little hand to me-
Zoo mou, Ma me agapas, Love me,
my life } she whispered, her eyes sutfused
with tears, then went slowly back into the
cottage while l rode sadly away.
My presentiment was right. [ never
saw Irene again.

To make the wooden butter dishes seen
in groceries the heavy timber is cut into
blocks 10 or IL inches in length and boiled
in huge vats until thoroughly softened.
The hot blocks are placed in machines
which scoop out the butter dishes at the
rate of 200 a minute. A curved knife
revolving on spindle does the work, the
block being automatically advanced with
each revolution of the spindle, and knife
working up and down taking off slice
Just the thickness of the plate, so as to
