Fact* about Oranxe*.
J. Booth of old Tampa has about 230
orango tree*, of which about oue half arc
bearing trees.
From this grove he has realiased some
1000 dollars. His oranges have been sold
at $25 to 30 per 1000 at Cedar Keys. •
One tree has netted near S9O.
This grove is planted on pine land, and
the oldest trees are about 25 years old.
The Tampa Tribune makes tire fol
lowing statement:
“The lion. J. 11 Mixed, of Orange
county, had a tree, which, at six years old
from the seed, bore 1080 oranges. Mr.
Drlgger, of the same county, had several
budded trees which when the buds were
two years old, bore 350 to 500 oranges to
the tree. Mr. Wui. Holden, ot Orlando,
Orauge county, had a full bearing tree otl
of which were picked 4800 perfect oranges,
and many imperlectones. At the present
lime Messrs. Swoope .fc Baer, of Lake
Maitland, same county, have jn full
bloom one tree six years old from the
seed, Ally odd seven years old from the
seed, one hundred oranges two years old
from the bud, and one lemon eighteen
months old from the bud. Mr. Delk, of
Rock Spring, same county, has some live
or six trees eighteen years old.ofl of which
have been picked 4300 to 5000 oranges per
tree in one season."
W know of a tree, now in fall vigor
and bearing from 8000 to 5000 oranges
every year, which 25 years ago was a line
fruitful tree and celebratedjat that time for
its size and beauty.
We know also of a beautiful grove of
700 seedling trees not yet seven years old
which is jnst coming into bearing, which
lost only one of its number by the recent
frost.
We know a man on the upper St. Johns
who has been eight years improving a
grove and who sold recently a portion of
it for $20,000.
We know 100 men who if they had an
orange grovo of 200 trees in full bearing,
would justly consider themselves and
families abundantly provided for.
We know 1000 places in Florida where
8 or 10 years industrious application with
small outlay will secure such a provision.

HOW OEOKOB WASHINGTON C'AMK TO SET
TIIK FASHION.
Scribner's Magazine lor May.J
It was possibly during his stay in New
York in 1788, that Washington began to
wear on his coat the conch-shell buttons
now in possessionf Cupt. Lewis’ daught
er. Anew fashion of dress, introduced
by a President, is worthy of record, es
pecially when there is an interesting story
connection with it. The story, related by
Robert Lewis, illustratee two striking
characteristic trails of Washington—gen
erosity and economy.
A needy sailor with a wheelbarrow full
of shells, accosted the General on the
street, and holding up a number of shells,
implored him to buy them. Washington
listened with sympathy to the slorv of
his suffering and want, and kindly replied
that he would buy them. Necessity per
haps sharpened the sailor’s wits, and he
promptly suggested that they would
make lovely buttons for his velvet coal.
The General doubtless smiled at the in
genious proposal, but agreed to try them.
Carrying home his ocean treasure of pink
shells, he sent for a button-maker to know
if he could manufacture a useful article
out of the pretty playthings with which
he found himself encumbered. The work
man replied he could make the buttons if
he could And an instrument sharp enough
to pierce them. Washington would have
nothing useless about liim, and so the
shells were delivered to the manufacturer,
who in due time retnrned them to him in
the shape of concave buttons, a little larg
er than a quarter of a dollar with a silver
drop in the center hiding the spot where
the eye is fastened beneath. The Presi
dent then astonished the republican court
by appearing in a coat with piuk conch
shell buttons sparkling on its dark velvet
surface. Eighly years ago, it seems, fash
ion ruled in the hearts, or over the cos
tumes, of men and women just as it does
now, for Capt. Lewis bears testimony that
conch-shell buttons immediately became
the rage. The shell-venders’ and button
maker#' fortunes were made by the Gen
eral's passion for utilizing everything that
came into his possession.
In Australia cattle are in excess of
the deuiahd, and will not sell for
more titan can be realized from their
hides, tallow, horns, &c., tor expor
tation. The flesh is almost valueless.
An immense establishment has been
started there for boiling the moat
into condensed soup or extract. The
meat, cut into large chunks, is en
closed iu an enormous tight cylinder
capable of holding fifty bullocks at
a time, and steamed tor seven hours.
The tallow is then skimmed off, and
the meat, mere pulp, is further solid
ifted aud canned for exportation. A
bullock makes about twenty pounds
of extract, as to the nutritions quali
ty of which there is a wide difference
of opinion.
Work First: Then Plat.— A man
who is very rich now was very poor when
he was is. boy. When asked how he got
his riches, he replied, “My father taught
me never to play till ail my work for the
day was Anished and never to spend money
till I had earned it. If I had but half an
hour’s work to do in a day, I mast do that
the Arst thing, and in hall an hour. After
this was done I was allowed to play. I ear
ly formed the habit of doing everything in
its time, and it soon became perlectly
easy to do so. It is to this habit that I
now owe my prosperity.”
To All, Particularly Invalids,
spring is a trying seaaon. Indications of
sickness should at once lie attended to.
Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing
the bowels to become constipated and the
system to remain in a disordered condi
tion, until the disorder has time to devel
op Itself. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, we advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very
prevalent—headache, indigestion, disor
dered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Hchenck’s Mandrake Pills. We know of
no remedy so harmless and decisive in its
action. It at once strikes at the root ol
the disease and produces a healthy tone
to the system. People never need suiter
from any disease arising from a disor
dered condition of the liver if they would
take tins excellent medicine wneu they
feel the Arst indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for ttie summer
months should lake three or four boxes of
these pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache in one or
two hours, aud will rapidly cleanse the
liver of surrounding bile, and will effect
ually prevent a bilious sttack. They are
so lu by all druggists. myl eodlrn
Alabama State money is now selling
at 95J cents, in Montomery, and buy
ing at 94i cents. It is firm at these
figures aud scarce.

weakness, early decay, loss of manhood,

ycu, FREE OF CHARGE. This great
remedy was discovered by a missionary
in South America. Send a self-addressed
