Within q few days the General Post-ofice

the Old Christ's Hospital. The news of the
necessary development will be received with
a passing pang of regret by many. 6 Mar
tins le Grand was, as we have all long
known hopelessly out of date, inconvenient,
and bldty equipped for the immense growth
of work of the General Post-office. Yet many
memories cling round it. The story
of the Post-otice for the last century
has been one of continuous and rapid
growth. A little over 100 years ago q
Mr.. ButterwOrth presentela petition urg-
ing the House OF Commons to move the
Post-olico from Lombardstreet, where it had
fr long been situated. The Government

take, and had bought premises altogether

In those days the London mail coaches

their loads.

Oct. 25th-Drumatic scenes, enacted amid
an earsplitting uproar Of shouting, ~clapping,
'booing," and desk humping, marked the
opening of the debate on the great railway
strike whom the Chamber of Deputies re-
assembled in Paris. NJ. Colly, q Socialist
deputy, who was once II railway NAVY, raked
up the revolutionary past Of various mem
bers of the Cubinot-MM. BRAND, Mllerand,
Barthou, and Viviani-while his supporters
howled with glee. Cries of ''I~tenegade!'

said: "'lo day the problem is not the right

The noise became SO great at this ~luncture

The results show that plants Of all the
varieties that were imported were secured.
As Mr.. Jones points out, they are good, con
sidering that three weeks elapsed between
the time that the budwood left Florida and
the time at which it was worked on to the
stocks, in Dominica.
The communication goes on to state that,
from a few of the more advanced plants,
budwood is already being taken for propaga-
ton, md that considerable supplies OF bud
ding material should be available, from the
plants raised, for distribution early in next
year. 1t is suggested that, where such ma
terial viii be required by Botanic Stations,
preparations should be made now, for the
reception of the budwood, by the provision
Of d number of sour orange stocks on which
it is to be employed.
It is pointed out, further, that the best
method of importing new varieties of citrus
fruits into the West Indies for propagation
is by means Of budwood. Whom the buds
are worked on sour orange stocks of the To-
cal kind, better plants are obtained than
when stocks already budded are imported.
This is due to the fact that the conditions
under which the stocks grow, in Florida, are
very different from those which obtain in the

Judge Towner, republican candidate
for congress, made Shenandoah another
short call yesterday while on the way
from Coin to Essex. He approves Of the
efforts being made in this and other
counties to secure republican harmony,
He is in no sense fractional candidate
except as some people try to force that

of them and cannot patiently listen to
any personal or fractional criticism OF
either of them. Let republicans gener.

men and that we will cheerfully vote
