The Licorice Plant.
Tho licorice plant is a small shrub,
Vith light foliage, growing to about
three feet high where its roots reach
the water. It grows without any culti
vation. No lands are leased for the
purpose, and no objection is made to
its being cultivated. It grows on red
earth soil and also on light, almost
B*ndy, where the wood is best, provid
ed it has plenty of water, and the
ground is not more than fifty yards
from the actual river or stream.
The wood, after once being dug up,
grows better afterward. The time of
collecting is generally during the win
ter, but is possible all the year round.
The root when dug is full of water
and must be allowed to dry, a process
which takes the best part of a year.
It is then sawed or cut into 6mall
pieces from six inches to a foot long.
The good and sound pieces are kopt,
and tho rotten ones are used for fire
wood. It is then taken in native boats
to Bussorah, whence it is shipped in
pressed bales to London, and again
from there to America,where it is used
largely in the manufacture of tobacco.
He Didn’t Complain.
Young Wife—“ This talk about men
being so impatient when a woman is
getting ready to go anywhero is all

Friend—“ Doesn’t your husband
complain at all?”
Young Wife—“No, indeed. Why,
last evening I couldn’t find my gloves,
and had a long hunt for half a dozen
other things; and yet, when I was ft
naily dressed, and went down stairs to
my husband, there he was by the fire,
reading and smoking as calmly as if I
wasn’t half an hour late.”
Friend—“ Well, I declare! Where
were you going?”

WITH MANY FLAGS FLYING
The Warships o( Ten Nations are Drawn
Dp in Grani Renew.
Hundreds of Guns Belch Forth in Jioisy
Salutes—A Grand Sight.
All New York awoke Thursday morn
ing to find a steady down-pour of rain
ushering in the day of the great naval
pageant. In the night time a storm
that had its birth Wednesday away to
the Westward, had stolen over the Jer
sey hills and wrapped the war squad
rons on the river, had settled down
upon the city and blotted out the dark
brow of the sea from the ken of people
ashore. Along the Hudson cloud and
water became one. The chilly north
east wind added discomfort to some
hundred thousand people who had ar
ranged to view the grandest marine
spectacle ever jjresented on American
waters.
CROWDING TO NORTH RIVER.
Although it was legal holiday in
town, the early morning crowds on the
elevated trains and surface cars, with
the crowds that poured into the city
from tho ferries and across the bridges,
did not look like holiday crowds. The
rain did not keep them all at home,
however. There was a steady stream

toward North river all the morning
and hundreds of excursion boats, steam
yachts, tugs and other crafts which
had been pressed into service,
were filled up with sightseers who
were not kept at homo by Farmer
Dunn’s disagreeable w r eather. Their
patriotism and their enthusiasm
carried them through the w r et.
RUNNING UP “ODD GLORY. ”
When 8 o’clock had arrived there
were signs of activity on all of the ves
sels in the fleet from the flagships of
each nation Avhich indicated that orders
were being issued to the fleet. A mo
ment later each vessel ran up a big
American flag to the top of tho main
mast and a big flag of her country fore
and aft. The Spanish, French, Bra-
UNITED STATES STEAMSHIP BALTIMORE.
zilian and Argentine ships ran up lines
of streamers on their yards. Uncle
Sam’s white navy floated big holiday
flags from each mast. All wore the
stars and stripes. At 10 o’clock the
United States vessels ran up bunting
and the British, Russian, Italian Ger
man and Holland ships follow suit
until all were in holiday dress.
Just as everyone was expecting that
the programme would be carried out
despite the storm, the announcement
was made that the review had been
deferred.
At 10:30 o’clock a. m. the signal
boat Cushing started out from Thirty
fourth street and running up along
side of each vessel in line, carried the
nformation that the review had been
THE VESUVIUS, DYNAMITE CRUISER,
postponed until 2 o’clock. When the
excursion steamers heard of this they
put back to their docks and there was
some grumbling among the passengers,
who had been getting damper and
chillier as the time passed.
WAITING FOR GROVER.
President Cleveland, accompanied
in a carriage by his wife and secre
tary, left the Victoria hotel at 1:05
o’clock p. m. Eight minutes later his
party arrived at the foot of West
Twenty-third street, where a thousand
men and women had stood in the rain
for hours, who cheered him enthusi
astically. The embarkation of the
presidential party on board of the re
viewing boat, Dolphin, was a gorgeous
affair. A handsome special landing
place had been erected for the purpose
at the foot of Twenty-third street, the
approach to which was carpeted and
draped in bunting.
FIRING THE BIG GUNS.
As soon as the president stepped on
board the Dolphin the vessel tripped
her anchor and fired one gun as a sig
nal. This was responded to by a boom
whieh seemed to shake the whole city.
The double turreted monitor Mianto
nomah, lying at the rear of the port
column, fired for the first time in port
one of her huge ten-inch guns, charged
with nearly 200 pounds of powder.
Almost before the reverberations of
this gun had died away in the distant
echoes, the whole fleet was called to
quarters, yards were manned and every
preparation made to receive the presi
dent of the United States with becom
ing respect.
As the Dolphin’s bow came in line
with each man-of-war, “present arms”
was sounded on the bugle, the officers
and crew r saluted ; the bands struck up
the national air and a national salute
of twenty-one guns was fired by each
ship. During the half hour or more
that the presidential progress lasted
this cannonading never ceased until
more than sixteen hundred guns had
been fired. Towards the close of their
booming the long separate identity had
been merged into a gigantic roar,
while flashes of red flame and dense
sulphurous clouds of smoke w T ere all
the spectators on the shore could dis
tinguish.
The firing began with the German
flagship Kaiserin Augusta. It was
taken up in a more ponderous manner
by the Dutch von Speyk, and the
Spanish Infanta Isabel. It was fol
lowed by the Argentine Neuva do Julio
and the Italian Etna. It was contin
ued by tho American Charleston and
the French Arethuse, followed by the
flagship Newark and Bussian admiral’s
ship Dimitri Donskoi, and closed by
Admiral Gherardi in the Philadelphia
and Admiral Sir John Hopkins, in the
noble Blake. The intervals between
the artillery exercises of the flagships
were filled up by similar exercises on
the part of the other vessels of the
squadron.
Following close in the wake of the
Dolphin and getting the full benefit
of the salutes, came the army steamer
General Meigs, bearing the honored
foreign guest of the day, the Duke of
Yeragua, attended by General Scho
field, of tho army, and Bear Admiral
Belknap, of the navy. The only ships
permitted within the sacred lines du
ring the progress of the presidential
review was the Monmouth, upon which
were senators and members of con
gress, governors of states, newspaper
representatives and other invited
guests.
When the Dolphin reached the end
of the line, in the neigborhood of
Ninety-fifth street, she dropped an
chor and made preparations to receive
the commanding officers of the foreign
sqadrons who were presented to the
president by their respective minis
ters.
Duly attired in full ceremonial uni
form, with cocked hats and swords,the
distinguished officers entered their
barges and pulled off for the presiden
tial vessel. Sir John Hopkins, the
British admiral, was the first received.
He was presented by Sir Julian Paunce
fote, the British ambassador. Next
came Vice Admiral Koznakoff, the
Russian admiral, who was introduced
by Prince Contakuzene, the Russian
minister. Rear Admiral de Libran, of
France, was third, presented byM. Pa
tenotre, the French ambassador. Then
followed Rear Admiral Magna
ghi, of Italy, for whom Baron
Fava did the honors. The Span
ish admiral. Senor Y. Lono, though
an invalid, did not fail to pay this cer
emonial mark of respect to the chief
executive, and was followed by Rear
Admiral Howard, of Argentine, Rear
Admiral Norhona, of the Brazilian
fleet and the blcmde-haired and blue
eved captain of the German and Dutch
steamers. These visits formed one of
the most interesting features of the
day. As nearly all the foreign officers
spoke or understood English, the cere
monies were attended by no stiff form
alities, but, it is said, were marked by
cordiality and some degree of convivi
ality also.
The president’s reception lasted un
til 4:40 p. el Then his flag was haul
ed down on the Dolphin and when
ashore, the guns of the entire fleet
belched forth simultaneously. Each
vessel fired twenty-one shots and the
roar that ensued was deafening. Y hen
it subsided smoke hung in heavy clouds
over tho river and the Jersey shore
was invisible for some minutes.
The admirals turned to their ships;
the steamboats which still lingered
with passengers desirous of seeing all
of the naval pageant went to their
piers, and the ceremonies were over.
SALUTED BY PRIVATES.
As soon as the Dolphin passed out
from between the anchored fleet the
cordon was broken and private steam
ers and yachts rushed in. When the
smoke had partially cleared away they
REAR-ADMIRAL GHEUARDL
obtained a magnificent view of the
combined naval forces at close range.
The flagships of tho squadron courte
ously returned the innumerable salutes
tendered by the private steamers, and
their officers seemed to heartily appre
ciate the interest their appearance
created.
SEARCH LIGHT DISPLAY.
Inky darkness veiled the Columbian
fleet at 8 o’clock, and not a sound was
heard by landsmen from the anchored
battleships. Suddenly a ray of light
shot upward from the Philadelphia.
It was long and dazzling, and seemed
to pierce the sky. For a moment it
remained stationary, and then disap
peared. That w r as the signal for the
scheduled display of tho electrical
search lights with which the war ves
sels are provided.
Quickly following the Philadelphia’s
lead the American ships showed the
many ways in which the lights are
used in active warfare to protect them
selves from attacks of those marine
terrors, torpedo boats. At times the
projecting rays were concentrated at
certain spots on the shore, then turned
far up the Hudson, making objects
plainly visible at a distance of five
THE CUSHING, TORPEDO BOAT,
miles. Following came another signal,
and simultaneously every light in the
fleet was turned toward the zenith.
Slowly the rays converged until they
formed the apex of a brilliant silvery
pyramid of incalculable height. Ex
perts say it could have been seen
seventy-five miles in any direction. It
was a sight never before seen and never
to be forgotten by the land lubbers.
In conclusion, the operators gave some
examples of high art in ray projecting
and describing various figures in the
heavens.
THE COLUMBIAN BALL.
The Columbian ball at night at the
Madison Square Garden was in respect
to magnificence of decoration and ar
rangement and of the large number of
the world-famed guests present, the
most splendid ever given in the new
world. Besides the president and his
advisers, chief legislative body of the
United States and a Spanish
grandee, who is the namesake and
lineal descendant of Chistopher Co
lumbus, there were the diplomatic
corps, the admirals and subordinate
officers of every great naval power in
the w r orld, governors of neighboring
states and famous army officers. It
was, in fact, a gathering of celebrities,
varied and so gloriously arrayed that
the oldest and most traveled guest ac
knowledged that seldom or never be
fore had he seen a parallel to the gor
geous picture presented. The decora
tions of the garden were rich and elab
orate, eclipsing in their magnficenco
and elegance anything ever before at
tempted in the great auditorium.
The large box on the center of the
Madison avenue end was occupied by
his honor, Mayor Gilroy and suite.
President Cleveland’s box was on the
right of the Mayor’s. It was lined
with white and gold, with delicate
maiden hair ferns, roses and asparagus
in beautiful design covering.
The boxes occupied by the duke of
Veragua and his party were on the
left of the mayor’s. The other boxes
on the first tier and about the mayor’s
box were occupied by the members of
the United States supreme court, the
diplomatic correspondents and by
Governor Flower and staff. The
arena boxes were occupied by
the admirals of the foreign
and American fleets and their at
tendant officers. Two bands furnished
the music in the ball room. The doors

of the garden were thrown open at 9
o’clock and almost immediately after
wards the guests began to arrive. May
or Gilroy, as head of the municipality,
and his wife, officially received the
guests of the evening. They stood
upon the reception dias and just be
yond them were stationed the commit
tee of 100 and the honorary committee,
who escorted the more distinguished
guests from the entrance to their
boxes.

A Postofflce Decision#
Postmaster General Bissell has made
a decision which will be of general in.
terest to business men utd the public
It seems that certain real estate dealers
in Buffalo, N. Y., were in the fcabit of
sending circulars through the mais ia
which they advertised the fact that to
eaoh purchaser of a block of ten lots
one lot would be given as a bpnns.
One of the circulars was officially
brought before Postmaster General
Wanamaker, and he ruled that the
offer was in the nature of a lottery, and
the circulars could not be sent through
the roils. This ruling has stood ft*
many months, but Congressman Chap

solved to test it. He called the atten

point that the federal government
should Avait until a state took the ini

overruled the Wanamaker decision.
