Double flowers are generally the result
of cultivation and always an abnormal

Many tropical trees when the bark Is
lacerated give out milky juice that Is an

tree at Anarajapoura, Ceylon, is the old
est historical tree In the world. record

the year 2SS b. @.
Just before the sap begins to flow is the
best time to attend to the pruning OF the

cially the hardy perpetual roses, and the
number of looming branches will be
greatly increased.

RALElGH's STEADY GROWTH.


Mr.. Daniel r. GoodIoe Tells of the
Evidence of Progress he Sees on All
Sides.
Mr.. Daniel r.. Goodloe, who is now in
Raleigh, visiting his niece, Mrs. w q RAN
dali, was most of his time for some
three or four years after the close
tre the lapse of quarter of the CEN
tury, his impressions OF the progress
that has been made in population,
wealth, and improvements, public and
private, will be OF interest TO our read
ers. He states that at the close of the
war, the population of the place was
said to be, by residents not greater
than was reported by the census in
1860, or about four thousand, there had
been no Improvements of consequence,
for some years. lie remembers the
National Bank OH the corner OF Har-
gett and Fayetteville streets, and
scarcely any other that had the APP
pearance of having been built IN thirty
or forty years. There was little wealth
among the people; although there was
manifest degree of prosperity spring
ing up, due, probably TO the presence
OF United States army officers and sol
diers, with an abundance of green
backs to spend. Raleigh began TO inn
prove from that time, and has had no
serious setback since. He was here,
for few days, ten years ago, when
the city had made great progress as
compared with the earlier date 10
which he refers, and now, near the
close of the nineteenth century, the
village Of 1865 has developed into a
city of nearly four times the popula-
ton, with an increase of wealth in far
greater proportion. He sees in Raleigh,
the capital OF a great State, a great
future North Carolina is peculiarly
situated as regards intercourse with
the foreign world. Our harbors on the
coast, though susceptible of great inn
proyement, and utility, are less avalla-
bic for immediate use, by our people
than are those of Virginia, and, in
some respects than that of Charles
ton, South Carolina. But nothing
stands in the way Of our internal towns
and cities The fact that our rivers are
not navigable for a great distance,
makes them all the more available for
manufactures, and we begin TO see the
uses to which the great wafer power,
in which no State excels ours, are be-
ing applied.
Mr.. Goodloe is particularly Impress
ed and delighted to witness the great
number OF beautiful residences that
have been built within the past ten
years. They bespeak the advancing
civilization and refinement of Raleigh,
to which the great Library which is
accommodating, the institutions Of learn
ing and benevolence, and art that have
sprung into being with the artificial
supply Of water, are necessary and
natural accomplishments.
