The large and interesting dis
PLAY AT NEW ORLEANS.
Now Fruits from Mexico—Honduras" Va
rieties of Sugar-Cane—Seventy-Five
Kinds of Oranges from Florida
—California’s Display.
[New Orleans Cor. Inter-Oeean.]
The display of citrus and other tropical
tuits at New Orleans has been\very large
pd interesting. The countries contributing
utside of the United States are Mexico,
Honduras, and Jamaica. Mexico has con
tributed in a great many ways to the success
of the exposition. She sent a very large
number of plants—enough to have formed a
very interesting feature if they had not been
so poorly bandied in transportation as to
present a very shabby and unthrifty ap
pearance. As it is, her orchids, agaves, and
cacti have attracted a great deal of atten
tion. Her fruits have been offered in con
siderable variety, and at times she has
Shown some very fine tables.
She has sent us many things with the
names of which we are not very familiar,
such as macrozamias, tunas, zapotes, coro
zos, calabashes, chayotes, granaditas, and
sapodillos. She also furnishes very fine
specimen) of the familiar cocoanuts, the
banana, limes, lemons in variety, several
kinds of beautifully colored, sweet, but not
very high-flavored oranges, and very fine
pine-apples. She also displays several kinds
of nuts and enormous yams and sweet po
tatoes.
HONDURAS’ FRUITS.
Honduran has offered very fine cocoanuts,
prupes, bananas and oranges, and adds to
these enormous specimens of sugar-cane.
J anjaipa has a more distinctly tropical line
of productions in her exhibit. One feature
of her display is her [ sugar-canes, which
number about eighty varieties, which have
been collected from all parts of the world
and'tested by Dr. Morris, director of the
government botanical gardens of that isl
and. In fruits she has a fine display of the
citrus family, embracing many varieties of
lemons, limes, oranges, citrons and shad
docks. She also has bananas, pine-apples
and cocoanuts, And in addition mangoes,
vanilla beans, coffee berries, the fruit which
yields our mace and nutmeg, cashen nuts,
several kinds of granaditas (fruits borne by
several species of the passion vine), guavas,
avocadoes, sapodillos, and a long line of
canned novelties.
FLORIDA ORANGES.
There has been a good display of Florida
fruits from the opening day until the pres
ent time. It was, however, upon Feb. 14
that she made her grand competitive exhi
bition of about 4,000 plates of fruit, largely
of the citrus family, but including fine speci
mens of the pine apple, banana, cocoanut,
and guava. The exhibit of immense citrus
fruits was quite astonishing. There were
citrons ten inches in their longest diameter,
and weighing from eight to eleven pounds.
There were immense roe shaddocks, pale,
gobular, smooth-skinned fruits, seven or
eight inches in diameter, and grape fruits of
smaller size but still vary wonderful. Os
course these novelties excited a great deal of
surprise, but after all it is the orange and
lemon display, which is commercially im
portant.
Florida has shown on her tables about
seventy-five distinct varieties of the ( range.
This fact alone was a matter of astonishment
to many at the north, who seem to be en
tirely unacquainted with the fact that there
is as great a range of difference in size, ap
pearance, and flavor among oranges as there
is with apples.
CALIFORNIA'S DISPLAY.
To those who had known California
oranges only by the coarse seedling} which
have thus far formed the bulk of her export
the excellence of much of this fruit was
quite a surprise. So fine an impression was
made by this magnificent showing that al
though Florida took the grand sweepstake’s
prize for her general collection of citrus
fruits, and had thirty-three premiums on
special exhibit, besides eleven silver and
three gold medals, the Riverside oranges
took first premium as best collection, em
bracing as it did the largest number of va
rieties, which counted in her favor in the
plan adopted by the judges. But in justice
to Florida it should be stated that where the
same or an equal number of varieties were
pitted against each other the points were
almost universally in her favor.
ORANGE GROWING.
Oranges in California are usually from
the Tahite seed, which is the best the market
affords, being free from admixture with
other citrus fruits. The seed of the orange
islong in vegetating, often remaining several
weeks in the seed-bed, where it must not be
allowed to become dry before it appears
above ground. Being planted in April about
eight inches of growth is made the first sea
son. The plants are then transplanted in
nursery rows, to be removed in the field at 3
years of age unless they are budded, in
which case they remain in nursery one or
two years longer. Not until the eighth or
ninth year does the seedling become product
ive, but from the budded fruit specimens
can be obtained earlier.
Politeness of the Japanese.
[Tokio Cor. Chicago News.]
This is a nation of ladies and gentlemen,
and a lex nob scripta of etiquette prevails
among all classes from the beggar to the
prince, which is never inoperative. Com
pared to the politeness of the Japaness that
of the French or Spanish gentleman is a
mere varnish of courtesy—a conventional
veneer of hypocritical flattery. With these
“heathen,” on the other hand, it is the true
politeness which springs from a kindly na
ture and a willingness to please. A Japanese
coolie (or day laborer) whose wages the year
round amounts perhaps to 5 cents a day has
the instinct of a gentleman. It is edifying,
not to say amusing, to witness the meeting
of too coolies. Imagine, it you please, two
Irish “navvies” holding a colloquy something
like this:
“The worthy Dennis Toole?” “Welcomel
honored Bryan Lafferty.” “Do your re
spected parents live in the same condition
as before?” “I trust your beloved and aged
grandmother still remains to cheer your
home.” “Your lovely daughter is still the
flower of your house?” “I would beg of you
to share my noon repast were the viands
[cold rice with hot tea poured thereon, most
likely] worthy of so talented a gentleman,”
and so forth. This is not mere badinage,
and though the translation flavors of af
fectation, there is none in the original.
Blue Milk. f
[Exchange.]
“Why should a red cow give white milk?”
was the subject for discussion in an Arkan
sas literary society. After an hour’s earn
est debate the secretary was instructed to
milk the cow and bring in a decision accord
ing to the merits of the milk. It was blua
He Had the Horse Down.
[Arkansaw Traveler.]
“Lookout, won’t yer?” exclaimed an old
negro, addressing his horse. ‘'Mino who
yer’s slobberin’ on. I alius noticed dat when
er pusson slobbers on yer, he ain’t gwine ter
stop at dat, but is gwine furder.” Just then
the horse kicked the old negro, sending him
sprawling on the ground. “Dar, didn’ I
tell yer so!” he exclaimed, scrambling to his
feet and shaking his fist. “Ketch mo in er
lie, will yer! hah! Eber heah me tell or lie?
No yer didn’, but neber mine. Time I add
down dem oats yer won’t feel like han’liu
dem hoofs so mighty free. Hoss got into de
habit o’ kickin’ me onct an’ I kep' on er add
in’ down his oats. He wuz er mighty pig
headed boss, so he kep’ on er kickin’ an’ I
kep’ on er addin’ down his oats. Now whar
is he? Lay in’ out yander in the bone yard.
Yerse’f be out dares yer doan mine. Whoa,
heah now, an’ lemme git on yer.”
Just as he seated himself on the horse’s
back, the animal kicked up and threw him
off with a jar that made the w hites of his
eyes twinkle.
“Uh,” ho grunted, arising with difficulty.
“Keep on an’ git in de habit o’ dis thing.
Split er pusson openergin de face o’ de Lawd
ermighty’s yea’th an’ den speck ter be
treated like one o’ de fambly. Keep on, I
tells yer, but dis ebenin’ when yer poke dat
mouf o’ yourn in de trough yer wont fine no
oats dar. Den yer’ll heah er loud laugh.
Den yer’ll look up an’ see me settin’ on de
rack pole. Oh, I’se got yer down.”
A Chance for Immortality.
[Chicago Herald.]
The honor of naming a newly disc ivered
planet may now be bought for $250. The
well-known Viennese astronomer, Mr.
Palisa, who last year discovered six fresh
small planets, offers to name the latest found
after any one who will give him the above
amount toward the expenses of an expedi
tion he wants to fit out for observing the
eclipse of the sun in August, 1886. Here,
suggests some one, is an opportunity for
some devoted swain to pay a perfectly novel
compliment to his lady love.
Thought He Was Square.
[Chicago Ledger.]
“And so your bookkeeper has slid, has he?”
“Yes; he’s joined the gang. ”
“Well, that does get mo. I never would
have thought it.”
“No more did I I banked n him big,
and never for a moment suspected him.”
“Nor me. I’ve known him for a long time,
and I thought he was about as square as you
could get ’em. Pshaw! I’d a trusted my own
dog with him for a whole week, and never
felt uneasy a single minute. I actually
would. ”
A Hard Problem.
[Medical Journal.]
A Paris medical society, seeking evidence
from many sources concerning the conta
giousness of pulmonary consumption, has
forwarded questions on the subject to every
practicing physician in France. Similar in
quiries in England and in Germany have not
been particularly successful, only 1,500 out
of 23,000 English practitioners answering,
and but 200 Germans out of 10.000.
The Draper’s Mistake.
[London Punch.]
Mrs. Col. Smythe (of the Poonah Hus
sars) explains in fluent Hindoostanee to hex
sister, Mrs. Maj Brown (ditto), that th«
same article can be got at the army and
navy stores for two-thirds of the money.

The Thunderbolt Abroad.
The Bulletin de 1’ A-sociation Scientifique
reports 4,699 deaths from lightning stroke in
France between the years 1839 and 1864.
About twice the number were seriously

Speer’s Wine for Consumptives.
Consumptive persons are greatly benefited
by the use of Speer’s Port Grape Wine. It
gives nourishment when everything else fails,
and physicians prescribe it as a rich, nutri
tious wine. Prominent physicians and mem
bers connected with the New York Board of
Health have inspected Speer’s vineyards
and wine cellars and speak of his products
in the highest terms.

“I’d rather take a thrashing than go to

what he does want.”

How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street, Atlanta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tasle any
thing excepts ilt. Her bones became the seat
oi intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed She, as well as her friends
aud those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well aud hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change. „
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had com
pleted the use of six bottles my eyesight and
iiearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
1 now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
‘•What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter.
“Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B. was the
great remedy that acted so powerfully on my
disease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use. and
iis action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. effected a most wonderful cure in this
w’ell-known case.
