Garey next reproduces Hie ■ following striking statistics of the ! arofltsof full grown trees, eontrlb |«ted by Mr. J. de Barth Shorb to f.tha psmphlet published by the pDbanberof Commerce, iv 1876: By very caret'il esliniites mule In 1874, the crops on an or.-liard ut' 43* trees. 3t)9 of which were twelve }MM old from tbe seed, the bal •OAs being too young to bear, I ob terVtred. aa a net result, over und above cost of transportation to Sun Francisco, commission! on sales, •to., $20 50 per tree, or $1,435 per -Mr*. Ido not claim this amount -aa average crop or result, but I do think that with proper care urn) attention the average can be made f|> equal $1,000 per acre nu trees of twaive years of age. I have seen trees ou our property that have I yielded over 3,000 oranges per tree, wbich oranges, sold at $20 per | thousand, would give per acre a | result of $4,140. The average g; price lor the past rive years, , throughout the county, has been • between $20 and $25 per thousand; f tiie present year the average will I likely exceed this sum. I see no I reason to doubt but tbat the mar ' ket will remain the same for many 1 years to come. These striking facts ought to be conclusive as to the money result of the labor und time expended iv bringing an orange orchard to ma turity. Another portion of the I Ueture ia devoted to the quility of f the Los Augeles orange. We rtfcuota: We have other advantages that moat of the orange producing coun r tries have not. Tlio quality of our oranges is pronounced superior by •II who have giveu them au jn „ prejudiced trial. A receut writer, ovwbo wu»enamored with the beauty r and quality of our oranges, says: v '■They combine tbe qualities of tbe I Florida, Louisiana and Havana having the size of the 1 farmer, the skin of the second, ami " turn delicious flavor of the latter." The New York Evening Post says: X "Messrs. Perkins & Uteri), who deal •v California wines, have sent us a sample of another product of that | fertile region, namely, of the or- I angea raised at the Sunny Slope plantation at Los Angeles. They c are of remarkable Oneness, and of F A flavor which, without possessing | tba saccharine sweetness of the Havana orange,aro even more rich, , and, lo consequence of lhe bleud- X ing of its sweetness with a little 1 acidity, Is more agreeable. In com £. paring it with the Indian river or if' tinge from the eastern shore of ■\ Florida, it is perceived that it Is a j little Inferior to it—uot in the t- flavor of Its juices, but in this pe f euliarity, that the Indian river t fruit has the membranes and cells I ef the inner part of a more delicate I tex'ure, aud more easily broken by | the teeth, so that no part is rejected by tbe moat delicate uiasthator." We may boast that the world pro \i •luces no rlner oranges than the X United Btstei. The Bildah orange, I in the uortheru part of Africa, has 1 a great reriutai ion, but it is uot so '•■ floe as the Indian river orange. I The orange of Tyre, of Sidou aud : of Jaffa is peculiarly flue in size j'-. and quality, but it does not excel, i in either respeel, that ol Los An r galea. Our pomelogists can not only es tablish the very superior quality of their oranges, but the fruit has a property wbich will prove to be of "very great Importance, especially Whoa the completion of a transcon tinental railway below the snow belt (hall render it feasible to in- I trodueo our fruit into the Mississip pi** Valley and the East at compara- I lively low rate* for transportation, f We allude to the facts that tbe Los { Angeles orange oomes Into the! market at a time when it Is de nuded of the staple, that tbe fully ripe fruit hangs on tha trees four or five months, and that it can even ba shipped to Europe, by a circuitous route, Involving a pas sage of thirty or forty days, with a perfect certainty that it will be marketable on its arrival there. On this branch of the subject we find the following interesting state ments in Mr. Qarey's lecture: We have evidence from tbe Flor ida people themselves, which we will produce preaeutly, showing that their oranges will not keep, and banes are not as good a variety as ours, and must ba used almost exclusively for tbelr local trade. Tbe writer above quoted further aays: "The trees are aiionger and bear more luxuriantly than either of the above mentioned, and the fruit lasts longer on the trees; is better adapted for shipment and market than the Florida orange, which rots rapidly." This writer nai no pecuniary interests in Call* fornla, out writes in an Eastern paper, from a disinterested stand point. Our oranges are very peruliar in tbelr keeping qualities; they can be allowed to become ripe and sweet before picking from the tree, and yet stand transportation to long distances, while the Havana, Ta hiti, Florida and other oranges must be Dicker! green in order to reach the market before rotting, making them tough and insipid, which is proven by the Tahiti oranges vow in our markets. A Sun Francisco paper says: "The Tahiti orange crop is later in market than the Los Augeles crop, and arrives at Ban Francisco in hot weather, in a damaged con dition. The business has become quite unprofitable, so much so that California importers propose tn abandou the trade. Thischange in commercial affairs will open the market for about 5,0(10,000 more or anges from Los Angeles." The problem as to whether or ange growing can be overdone here is a very interesting one to our poraologUts, and is hnudied very exhaustively by Mr. Garey. After giving instances, verified by Mr. William Pridhatu and Mr. Freder ick M. Shaw, of the arrival of con signments of Los Augeles oranges in Europe which had been packed when perfectly ripe, the lecturer contiuues: Mr. Wolfskill, of Lis Angeles, shipped a car loud of oranges last season to St. Louis, Mo., where they were received in perfect order, and brought satisfactory prices. It appears, after practical prools of the keeping qualities ol our or anges, that the question of over doing the market should be forever set at rest; none of us, nor our chil dren's children, will live lo see this great great business overdone. And remember these oranges were ripe wheu picked from the tree. Then, again, nn orange orchard is a legacy that will be n monument to the memory of the man who plants It, for generations to come. Au idea uf the nge which orange trees may attain is furnished hy the history nf the magnificent tree in the orangery of the palace of Versailles, known by the name of the Grand Couuelable, or Grand Bourbon, which Is now 450 years old. It grew from some .pips of a bitter orange piauted in a pot at tbe commencement of the fif teenth ceutury by Eleanor of Cas tile, wife of Charles 111., King of Navarre. The young plants which sprang from the seed were kept in the Bame tub at Pampelunar uutil 1584. Iv 1799, more than two cen turies after, they were removed to Versailles. The Grand Conueta ble, regarded as the senior of living orange trees, is still perfectly vig orous, aud does uot exhibit any signs of decay. At the Han Gabriel Mission, iv Los Augeles county, there is v grove of orange tree, over niuety years old, which are healthy and vigorous, bearing heavy crops annually. The reat of Mr. Garey's lecture is taken up with a technical discus sion of budded versus seedling trees, Into which we do not pro pose to follow him. We had been previously familiar with most of tbe facta so attractively presented by him, and they have produced upon us, as we think they will upon any uubiased inquirer, a favorable im pression of the vitality of our or ange interests, no matter how many trees may come into bear ing. It bas been estimated, by persons familiar with the subject, that there Is large money iv raising oranges, eveu if the prico should sink to a half cent a piece—an event little likely to happen. We are glad to be able lo chroni cle, truthfully, signs of business re vival in Los Angeles county. These indications ure not confined to the heavy movement of grain, or to the fact that our much decried crops are really proving quite large. The dull times we have had this summer are strictly referable to the drouth of last year. We are already beginuing to experience the quickeued hope and elasticity flowing from the changed condi tion of things. We have had most of our rough experience, and have about reached the turn of the lane. A general conviction of this fact is haviug apparent wholesome conse quences. During the pist two years our people have been won dering if they would ever again see good times. In a twelvemonth from to-day they will be pondering over the strangeness of our ever having had bad times. We doubt if Los Angeles, either in the county or city, was a good place in which to invest money during the infla tion of three years ago. We are certain that to-day, for a man who oan wait a little for the fruition of his venture, both Los Angeles city and county are the best places on tha American continent for Invest ment. We have had our little "tag," we have endured Its draw backs surprisingly well and we shall soon be rejoicing in the spring and energy of the rebound.

London, August 24.— The Rome correspondent of the Times gives an accouut of Lazzaretti, the fa natic, and the circumstances of his death. Lazzaretti declared him self to be Christ come again and had chosen twelve Apostles. On tbe morning of the 18th instant the prephet, at the head of about 2500 followers, started for tbe vil lage of Arcldosso, His purpoae, it Is said, was not peaceful. A hun dred believers, dressed iv white tunics, like the ancient Jewish j priests, led the column. At their head marched David, the Saint, altired In a half regal, half pontifi cal, costume, with a diadem on his head aud an iron studded club in his hand. The proceaslon sang n hymn with the refrain, "Long live God aud the Christian Republic! Praise to Christ, come a second time on earth!" The mob was met half way by a delega tion of the police, accompanied by ten carbineers, who invited them to disperse. Upou this David cried, "I am King," and ordered his followers to disarm the soldiers. As he spoke the police were fired upon, and a shower of stones fol lowed. Again the delegate gave the requisite warning to disperse, which was followed by the prophet aiming a blow at him with his club. The police then, (hid ing themselves surrounded, opened fire, and among the first to fall was the prophet, shot full in the fore head. His followers, seeing their leader fall, gave way. Brother Gardner on Extravagant Dress. [Detroit Free Press.] Brother Gardner made the fol lowing remarks on opening the last meeting ot the l.imo Kiln Club: "I hits ptilnfully observed a dlsposisshun ou the purl o' eertiug members of diselub to get ahead a leetlo too fast.

Dats all gem'len." . —- How She Caught the Rich Widower. [ChiCftfO Times Long Branch Letter, j • • * When the rich widower arrived witli hil two children aud servants act] horses and equipages, etc., our stylish young lady was fully prepared for au nttack upon them all. It was just after sunset when she came out upon the piazza with a volume of Tame in her bauds. She looked at no one, but seatetl herself in the most graceful of attitudes, and iv the very best light, and buried herself iv the brilliancy of this great and per sistent candidate for the French Academy. She was dressed in a gauzy black robe, all flecked over witli old gold. Her black silk stockings were embroidered in gold tints, and her pretty little slippers tiid their very best for her delicate feet that refused isolation under her tie-buck. Uold sequins encir cled her while throat below a ruche of old yellow face. Her elbow sleeves were filled iv with the same family treasure, aud long Chantilly gloves whitened and ex hibited her arms. Not a ring broke the shapely outlines of her aristo cratic fingers, and ouly a fillet of gold hauded her head, tho hair of which was brushed up in a loose coil and held in position by an ar row of gold tipped with filligree. A rich cluster of Jaquenot rosea was fastened to her belt, and a fan of peacock featherß waved softly in her right hand. All other ladies were costumed iv white muslin with many ribbons, frizzed or waved or curled coiffures, but the stylish young lady. Oh! she knows but too well the powerful effect of con trast. The widower's prelty little daughter was wandering up and down in front of her, but the child was apparently unnoticed. (Oh ! wasn't she?) Her little white dress and black sashes fluttered not in the eyes of the wise actress. (Did they?) By and by the heavy volume of Tame slippetl front her bands, at the exact moment, by ac> cident, you know, and it fell upon the little feet of the passing child, If you could have heard tue pur ring sorrow, the sweet soothlngs and the tender apologies, all min gled with flattery to the really un hurt child, while the father stood by endeavoring to say that it was of no consequence at all, which, of course, it was not, as the lit tle one was laughing, and liked it, and also have seen the eloquent upturned face of the stylish girl as she said to the father, "Pray per mit me to take the little one to its mamma aud make my apologies to her," you would exclaim, "What groat genius Is lost to the dramatic world while this young woman performs only for limited audi ences!" While lam writiug (and the volume of Tame fell only five days ago), I look from my window to see him lift the stylish girl Into a saddle ior a gallop with him through the twilight upon one of his owu superb horses. She uever looks handsomer than iv her rid ing-habit upou a flue stoed. Parisian Tailors. I Paris Cost, Knltimnre Amerlr in | We frequently hear Americans speak or their experience among the Parisian tailors. At home we go into a tailoring establishment, select the quality of the cloth, have our measure taken and ihink no more of it until the clothing ia de livered at our residences. In Paris tbe purchaser selects the material and has his measure taken, when he is told he must como Die next day and try ou the coat and vest, and as he tries on each skeleton garment, the cutter, Utter and tailor surround him and supervise the operation. The day and hour is then appointed for bim to come and try on tbe fin ished garments before they are de livered. When the time nrrives he is taken into a hack room and must strip again, as they will not deliver a pair of pantaloons until they have seen t hem on the pur chaser. This time the proprietor also accompanies tho cutter, fitter and tailor, and the group stand around and inspect each garment as it Is tried ou. If there is auy alteration required, it is chalked and altered before being delivered. This is very troublesome,but still it carries with it the assurance of a good fit. The dressmakers are equally persistent iv tills (tying and fitting process, and when a lady in Paris gets in the hands of a dressmaker she must go dally until the dress is done and must then try it on before it is delivered. A Healthy Body and a Clear Head. If Indigestion, constipUiou and bil iousness torment lhe body, the head cannot be clear. These disorders react upon the brain most hurtful ly, and pro duce a cloudiness in the organ of thought not experienced by a healihy man. Happily these braln-oppressl ug maladies may be entirely dispelled by that peer less alterative, Hosteller's Stomach Bit ters, which etieers, refreshes and luvigo rates the brain and nerves, while it reg ulates the organs of digestion, assimila tion and bilious secretion.
