The Florida crop of oranges for the present soiiion is oRtiinatod at 3,000,000 b.wos of 150 oranges to oaoh box. Tho crop, though vary large, will not nupply one-half tho demand of the trade. General Lonostubbt is named by many Republicans as a very proper man for a Cabinet position in the coming Harrison administration, and be will no doubt be named for that or some other important oflice. A bboord of tho presidential Pro hibition vote ia by bo means discour aging to tho adheronts of tho cause. Here it is: In 1870 it was 9..T22 ; in 1880 it was 10,305 j in 18S-1 it was 151,800, and at the recent eloction Fisk received 2U0,3(!8 votes. The United States grand jurj', now in session at Indianapolis, has 400 cases to investigate for violating elec tion law. Among tho number thuro is one against Col. W. W. Dudley for writing his infamous utter, advising j,ho purchaso of floaters in "blocks of five." It is odd that while wo have the official returns from nil other statos, that of Texas (savo tho vote for presi dent) has not appoared, to the best of our knowledge. Surely, under modern mothodB of counting votes, we should bavo bad it at least a month ago. We are iudabtod to W. A. Kendall, superintendent of tho Texas Deaf and Dumb Asylum, for a copy of tho Thirty second Annual Report of that institution. It indicates improvement and progress.

It is a fit winding up of tho lute ' educational " political campaign, and should bu road by all. The official vote of tho state of Now York shows that President Cleveland received 1,177 more votes above Har lem river than wtro c-.ibt for Gov. Hill. In New York city, Brooklyn ami tho two counties on Long Island, Gov. Hill led Mr. Cleveland l.j.Co'S voten, and this is where Presidt ut Cleveland lost tho voto ol New York, aud not among the farmers as has beeu sup posed. The spirit of uiubociaoy received a fearful 6ft buck tbo other day at Birmingham. Ala. A mob mustered in force to break into the j:id and lynch an alleged murderer cnudned in it.
