OUR HEW YORK LETTER.
.Senator Call says that Florida has
more immigration than any
other Southern State. “Orange rais
lng,” he adds, “pays as well aa the
advertisers claim it does, hut the
farmers must put brains into their
work and study the business. The
winter )>opulation of Florida in
creases every year and wealthy
men are beginning to buy winter
homes there. The product of orang
es last year as exported is said to
have amounted to over $2,000,000,
and though there are no orange mil
lionaires in tho state there is one
man who makes $30,000 a year out
of his orange orchards."
The condition of affairs in Mex -
ico is not such as to encourage tim
id countries to adopt a republican
form of government or to invite
thither that foreign capital which is
necessary to develop that region .
Capital best loves to seek such
countries as protect it from assault
and guarantee those who invest in it
at least the ordinary lights of per
son. Tlte chief reason why Mexico
lingers in the sub urbsof civilization
is tho lawlessness of her people.
Until this is uprooted there can be
no permanent prosperity any more
than thore can lie any widesprea d
respect of tho Mexican powers that
be.
At tho Agricultural Convention
in Columbus, Professor White, of
Athens, gave the result of expert
merits at the University showing
the relative value of fertilizers.
He was convinced that the home
made fertilizers were most benefi
cial, and snid a good formula was 1,-
200 pounds of acid phosphate, f>00
pounds of cotton seed meal, and 200
pounds of kaiuit. In reference to
corn, he said that experiments had
been made which showed it was
more profitable to allow the fodder
to remain on the stalks than to pull
it. On the labor question he said
that Hie great need of this country
is an intelligent peasantry, such a*
I lie negro can never hope to be,
and the only way to get it is by en
churagfng immigration.
The New York World says of Gen.
Hancock, that nature fitted him
for a military career. His magnifi
cent hearing marked him for com-
tn: a 1. The very name given to him
in his baptism seemed to foreshad
ow the profession he was destined
to follow. His mind paitook of tne
solidity and symmetry of his txdy.
His devotion to duty, his clear, calm
judgment, his strictness in disci
pline, his unassuming dignity and
his consideration for others made
his leadership jn his profession as
sured.
Bn* great asGen. Hancock w is as a
soldier and bright as the record of
nis military services iu Mexico and
in the war of secession—at
Yorktown, Williamsburg, Freder
icksburg, Chancellorsvilie, Gettys
burg and Spottsylvanin—his hold
on the love and admiration of the
people was* largely through his
grand championship of civil rights
and his devotion to civil liberty,
lie was one of the few great sol
diers wl ec< u <i never have become
a dictator. Marching at the head
ol a conquering array he would
have bent as law as the humblest
citizen to the authority of the civil
mw. Fearless on the battle-field,
vengeful against the enemies of bis
country, unyielding in his enforce
ment of military power and his ex
action of military duty he was ready
to yield the soldier’s attractive
power with cheerful alacrity as soon
ts peace made its exercise no long
er an actual necessity. His sword
could be broken easily by the staff

Die words of his famous New Or

more than anything else at that

A contemporary in some “hint*
on advertising,” says: “Another
thing which publiahers have to con-
tned with is that the results of ad
vertising are not always visible to
patrons, many of whom caunot see
why custom cannot be directly trac
ed to the source where they spent
their money to obtain it . Business
is like a river with many tributa-
ries,and in which it is impossible to
trace each individual drop of wa
ter to the spring from which It
cauie. But if a journal is selected
for advertising purposes that reach
es time and again the persons most
likely to be interested in the solic
itation that paper is certainly the
sure fountain-head of profitable
trade in the stream of patronage
far below. Temporary advertise
ments in a small way will not pro
duce an immediate or permanent
increase of business any more than
alight shower will affect the depth
of water in a well, bat by persisten
cy in the use of printer’s ink in the
right direction the results sought
will be gained in the end with in

A Washington dispatch to New
York Times, says that the govern
ment suit to test the validity of tha
Bell telephone patent will be prose
cuted with vigor and with the assis
tance of counsel in whom the peo
ple will have confidence as men of
ability and integrity. The Hon
Allen G. Thurman, recognized here
and elsewhere throughout ths coun
try as one of the best constitutional
awyers who ever appeared iu the
Supreme Court to argue a case; Mr,
Grosvenor P. Lowry, of New
York, whose legal ability has won
him distinction; Mr. Eppa Hunton
and Mr Jell' Chandler, both leaders
>f the District bar, and Mr. O. S.
Whitman, of Washington, a practi
tioner in patent cases, who has
good familiarity with the details of
patent cases, have been engaged to
appear with Assistant Attorney
General Goode. Attorney General
Garland will not take part in the
prosecution. He will not be an in
different observer, however, of the
progress of the suit. His apparent
insensibility to criticism is not real,
but he is determined to show the
public that he has been unjustly
criticised and that he is not inspired
by mercenary motives in what he
shall do. No request or suggestion
or his resignation has been made
by the President. Mr. Garland’s
friends—ami they are many and
firm ones—are hopeful that his san
guine expectations will be fulfilled.
He is reported to have said that the
public would soon be able to discern
;he object of the attack upon him
and^that he would probably be as
extravagantly praised as he has
been unjustly abused. The govern
ment suit is not one for the Pan
Electric, the Globe, the National Im
proved or any other company,
Neither is it a suit to set aside
the patent of Bell in order to grant
one to Elisha Gray. It will proba
bly be held that at the time Bell se
cured his patents the principle of
the speaking telephone was known,
that it had been applied by Meucc*
Reiss and others and its operation
uad been observed by many scien
title men as early as 1860. The gov
ernment’s duty to judiciously in
quire whether the facts do not war
rant an attempt to cancel *he pat
ent of March 7, 1875, conferring a
monopoly of the use of one of the
forces of nature at the expense of
whole communities, will be dwelt
upon and high authority against
the granting of such monopolies will
be adduced.
New York, Feb. Sth., 1886.
This is a busy season in the ait
circles of New York, for during the
coming three months exhibitions
will follow fast upon each other.
These exhibitions are now open to
the public: those of the Water Color
Society and Etchers Club at the
Academy, the Artists Fund at the
Ortgies Art Gaieries and the Sal
magundi Club at the American Art
Galleries. Of these the first is the
most interesting asshowing the rail-
id development of two branches of
graphic art but recently studied in
America.
But a few yare ago the artists of
the United States were invited to
send samples of their work in wa
ter colors to a large exhibition in
London, but hardly more than a
dozen responded, and American art
was represented by a score of me
diocre drawings. To-day the lists
of workers in water colors bear
some of the most noted names in
American art. Mr. E. A. Abbey
undoubtedly holds the leading
place in the presant exhibition with
his picture entitled “The Old Song.”
It is a picture which quickly at
tracts popular admiration as much
by the story it tells an by tbe ad
mirable manner in which it is han
dled.. This picture quickly found a
purchaser, for in four days after the
opening of the exhibition the much
desired ticket “sold” was affixed to
the picture and it began to he noised
about among artists that the price
paid was three thousand dollars
probably the largest sum ever paid
for an American water color.
Two of the rooms of the Academy
oi Design are given up to the exhi
bition of the works of the New
York Etching Club. The sudden
popularity attained by this branch
of reproductive art has led many
cri’ics to predict that the quality
ofth" work done would become
greatly debased by the adoption of
theart by inferior workmeu for the
sake of the financial rewards it of
fers. But this doleful prediction
does not seem likely to be fulfilled
It is true that in the present exhi
bition of the Etchers Club there are
some works of purely commercial
character, in which the art of the
artist is clearly s ubordinated to the
tradesman, but as a rule the pictur
es bear witness to conscientious
striving after the best. The art lias
received a great stirtiulous from its
employment as a means of illustra
ting catalogues of exhibitions and
great art sales. In the grand cata
logue of the collection of Mrs. Mary
J. Morgan’s art treasures which are
to be sold next month, etchings are
lavishly employed. Twenty-three
artists, members of the etching
club, have been at work for some
months preparing plates to illus
trate this catalogue, these etchings
are done in the best style of the art
and will be printed by the artists
themselves on the best Japan paper,
The mode3t pri e of the catalogue
will be $23.00 and it is to be lim ited
to five hundred copies.
Among the artists belonging to
the Etching Club are several who
have contributed largely toward
making “American Art” no longer
a term of reproach. Whistler,, who
undoubtedly stands at the head of
American etching, is absent this
year, but no exhibition can be term
ed poor that contains the work of
Stephen Parish, the clever marines
of de Haas, «r Prosper Senat and
varied but pleasing sketches oi the
Morans. On the whole it is safe to
say that the status and prospects
of etching ic the United States as
indicated by this exhibition are
most satisfactory.
The literary colony in New York
is becoming very strong and Boston
papers contain very doleful wails
over the vanishing literary suprem
acy of the “Hub.” The fact ap
pears to be that authors naturally
cluster about the great magazines
and publishing houses. Although
Houghton A Miffih, with the Atlan
tic Monthly, still do valliant battle
for Boston, other firtns are contin
ually removing to the metropolis.
The Century and Harper's Maga-
ine each attract a number of writ
es whose names continually ap-
exhibition will be compised of ex
hibits from American producers
Ail the official exhibits -will come
from states of the American-Union.
Now before the inception of the
American Exhibition, the British
had arranged for an exhibition of
the products of the British Colonies
to open in London in May, 1886. Ii
therefore appeared that the two
would come in competition, and
at the suggestion of the Hon.
r M Waller., U. S. Consul-General
at London, and with the hearty ap
proval of Minister Phelps, the
Americans determined to defer the
ruening day of their exhibition one
year, in addition ’o thus avoiding
m utnseemly rivalry, this change
wll enable the United States to
iend a much more representative
lisplay to the Exhibition. Bills are
now pending in Congress and in the
many State Legislatures t<» provide
for official exhibits of a character
similarto those made in New Or
leans last year. The managers feel
confident Jhat no state will be un
represented at London and that this
great opportunity to secure high-
class immigration and an influx of
foreign capital will be utilized to Us
fullest extent. /

Nitro-glycPrine is a compound
which is produced by the action of
mixture of strong nitric and sul
phuric acids .on glycerine at low
temperatures. Two methods of pre
paring it are given in Watts’s Dic
tionary ol Chemistry. According
to whatever method it is prepared,
it is obtained as a light yellow oily
liquid, of specific gravity varying
1.525 to 181, inodorous, but having a
sweet pungent aromatic taste; a
single drop, however, if placed on
the back of the tongue, produces
headache and pain in the back,
which lasts for many hours. It is
only slightly soluble in water, but
dissolves rapidly in ether, alcohol
and methylated spirits.
This substance was discovered in
1817 by Sobrero, then a studert in
the laboratory of Pelonze in Paris,
and afterwards a professor in Turin.
But though its discoverer ascertain
ed its remarkable properties as an
explosive, it remained simply an
ibject of scientific interest until
1864, when it began to be manufac
tured on a large scale for blasting
purposes by Noble, a Swqde resi
dent in Hamburg.
If ignited in the open air, nitro
glycerine burns rapidly and with a
brisk flame, without any explosion;
if poured out in a thin sheet, it ig
nites with difficulty and burns in
completely. But it explodes at
once if it is exposed to a moderate
ly strong blow or concussion, to the
concussion due to the explosion of
gunpowder, to contact with red-hot
iron, and especially to the action of
detonating mixtures and fulmi
nates; it likewise explodes on ex
posure to a high temperature; the
explosion, however it is produced
being in ail cases excessively rapid
and unaccompanied by smoke. It’
is this explosive power that ren
ders this compound a useful, agent
in blasting.
The danger of using this com
pound in mining, etc., is greatly in
creased by its instability. Even
when pure, it is liable, at a heat of
70 degrees, or less, to undergo slow,
spontaneous decomposition into
glycerine, oxalic and hydrocyanic
acids, ammonia, etc., with continu
ous escape of gaseous products,
which, exerting pressure on the li
quid, renders it so prone to explo
sion that even the slightest concus
sion is attended with danger; and

pure nitro-glycerine may, from this
cause, be regarded as dangerously
self-explosive even while standing
quietly.
DYNAMITE
has of late years superseded the ni.
tro-glycerine, which is its principal
component. Induced by the calam
itous and inexplicable accidents
that iio often attend the use of ni-
tro-gl ycerino, and which it seemed
impossible to guard against, Noble
souglit by soaking various inert sub
stances, with nitro-glycerine to ob
tain some composition which should
have the valuable powers of the ex
plosive oil without its deadly risks.
In 1S67 he gave the name of dyna
mite to the suceessfnl outcome of
his experiments. Dynamite, as gen
erally manufactured, consists of in
fusorial earth; porcelain earth, coal-
dust, silicions ashes flr the jiljg, sat-j '
urated with about three times if«
weight *f nitro-glycerine though
the proportion varies with different
makers. According to its elements,
it is to the eye a grayish-brown,
reddish, or blackish powder, damp
and greasy to the touch, and with
out smell. In the open air it burns
piietdy, and gives off fumes of car
bonic acid and nitrogen with a wa
tery vapor. If properly made, it
ought not to be exploded by heat
up to 212 degrees, by a spark, or-by
any ordinary shock. In order to
take advantage of its enormous
blasting power, it is pretty tightly
packed in paper or parchment cart
ridges, and exploded by means of a
fulminating fuse or cap. It leaves
a white ash, with little or no smoke.
In the hands of careful workmen
who know what they are about, its
use is comparatively free of danger,
and it may be easily transported.
It is now regarded as one of the saf
est explosives, thoagh its manufac
ture is still attended with great
