A good joke is told on Henry Irving
who being anxious to buy new horse,
attended an auction sale/of blooded (?)
beasts in London, where he purchased a
fne-looking. chestnut mare for Is $40.
Irving could not imagine how good ami

amount. SO he bribed the groom and
asked him how 1t was.
sThe 'orse as two faults, SIR replied
the man. 1.-THE first is, when 'e's hin the

| Resolved, That as the representatives
of the Democratic party and in the name

aiding the scheme of a private water
company to obtain a contract for fur

without open and genuine competition,
and for assuming to dictate to that
board what its action should be in the
premises.
Resolved, That we applaud the reply
made by minority of the Board of
Finance to the aforesaid communication

misstatements.
Resolved, That we recognize the neces-
sity of a better water supply and endorse
the proposition made in the reply of the
minority members of the Board of FL

Resolved, That Notwithstanding the
eagerness of the Mayor, the members

who are in accord with them, to increase

covered their country the New Zealand

Agricultural Microscopy.
ChuluOta, Fla.

A Washington Special of the 18th says:
Secretary of Agriculture Morton to-day
abolished the division of microscopy
of his department., which has been in
existence since 1878, and has been pre-
sided over by DR.. Thomas Taylor. The
extension of microscopic work to other
divisions has left the division OF mi :
croscopy, as such, little to do, and at
least five divisions, Secretary Morton
says, have done more microscopic work
than it. The work which has been
done by that division has been reas-
signed.
The work pertaining to food adultera-
ton, lubricatingoils, ETC., is, by Secretary
Morton's order, turned over to the chem
ical division; all work pertaining to the
study of fungi to the division of vege-
table physiology and pathology, and
that relating to textile fbres to the
office of ibre investigation. The ap-
preparations for the division abolished.
81 500, will be covered into the Treasury
Secretary Morton's action in one way
reflects on DR.. Taylor.

are you willing without going into parti
culars tell me the reason Of the change in your
views. j. 0. T.
Sanford
We have not changed our views re-
garding the cultivation of bearing
grove for every experiment we had
made up to the time of the frost went to
prove that by our method we got more
and better fruit at less cost than by the
old plan. You would not give healthy
man the same attention and food you
would man who had met with an &C
cident and had his limbs taken off and
otherwise incapacitated. You would
give the injured man every assistance
possible to help the wounds to heal and
to get strength and vigor once more in
the body. 80 the orange tree in
it's present condition needs all the help it
can get. Those who are leaving their
trees alone will find that the trees that
are badly hurt will finally die root and
all unless they loosen up the soil around
the collar and expose some of the roots
to light and air. The groves around
here that are looking the best are those
that have received the most attention in
the way of cultivation and fertilizer.
