"Aro there any other berries in the

"No , nnd there will not bo for aomo

"Horo is aomothlng out of the usna

I have juat tent another order for some

It seems that the atock of Spanish
grapes in the market ia about exhausted
and price for the boat Is now from 7f
cents to $1 a pound. There Is a good demand
mand for them at thoao figures , for no
really recherche banquet or private party

true ot the delicious California butter
pears so popular last fall. They are so
called because they molt in one's mouth ,

The conversation then turned on
oranges.
"Which variety do you Ilko the boat ? '
was asked.
"Tho Indian river ( Florida ) oranges
by all odds. They are the bon-ton of all ,
EO to speak. They are BO good and ao
largely called for that many unscrupulous
fruiterers are palming off other varieties
on consumers and calling them Indian
rivers. The genuine are selling at from
75 cents to $1 a dozen. "
"And where do the boat oranges come
from taking them all through ? "
"From Florida. Of COOIMO I don't
mean to say that all Florida oranges are
good , but they average bettor. Take the
California varieties , for instance. They
are bettor than the Imported ones , to bo
sure , but in sweetness and lack of seeds
they cannot compare to thoao of the
south. The California } arc a pretty
fruit but not up to the others.
The , market is flooded with
thorn now. A frost tot In the orange
bolt and the growers got scared , picked
them in a green state , and are rushing
them into the largo cities. "
"Here ia an odd variety from Florida , "
he continued , picking up a small , bright-

for what these girls are being prepared'
It la the curio of low wages which fills
homes of Ul-reputo and crowds to over

It is often aild that high wages wil

Men say that all tbeao matters are gov

'ears ago was an uninhabited and dcao-

ho discovery in 1882 of gold in the Stor-
langon mino. This discovery had boon
uticipnted in 18G2 by the find of a piece
f pure gold , which was at once deposi-
od in the minoraloglcal museum of
Jhrlatlanla , where it has since remained
pparontly unheeded , although the
lace and tlmo at which it was found are
uly marked on the corresponding label.
\fter twenty years gold was again fonnd
n 1882 , at the Storhangen mine , which
iras then bolng worked for copper oro.
'he result of this discovery was the pur-
base , in 1883 , of the works by an Eng-
ah firm , trading under the title of the
Dscar Gold Mining company , which Ia
rorked under the scientific direction cf
rlr. Murchlson. Considerable amuso-
aont seems to have been created among

HISTOIIY OP UObbKIl SKATING.
The Present la iho Third Crnzo of
the Kind lit This Country Costly
New York Sun.
Roller skating is by no moans a modem
om amusement. A patent for n rollc
akato was Istucd In Franco in 1819
From that tlmo to the year 18G3 thur
were nine patents leaned for roller skates
Three of thote were French , three Eng.
liih , and three Amorlc < m. In all of them
the wheels were set iu fixed sockets , and
run only in a direction parallel with thi
length of the skate , There was some
variation in the stzo of the wheels , and
their number varied from two to five ,
There was an attempt to adapt them tc
the capabilities of ice skates by varying
the position and slzo of the wheels , but
it was not until 18G3 that any success
WM secured In making roller skatoa with
which the skater could make all the
muttons that can bo performed on ice
skates. In the year 18G3 James L
Plimpton of New York patented the
guldablo roller akato. This waa a radlcaf
improvement in attaching the runncra o :
rollers to the stock or foot stand of thi
skate , whereby thn rollers or runners are
made to turn or cant by the rocking of
the stock or foot stand so as to factliato
the turning of the skate on the ice o
floor and admit of the skater's performing
with ease gyrations or revolutions with
out tcatlni ; unduly the muscles of the
foot or ankles. Mr. Plimpton made 1m
provomonta on his own Invention , whlcl
were patented in 18G5 and 18GG , and
eiuco that time there has bcon no leas
than 345 patents for various modification
of roller skates chiefly in England and
America. But the practical loller skate
of to-day Is substantially an American
invention. There are thousands of par
sons engaged In their manufacture , and
they have boon introduced all over the
ijlobe' .
The present roller-skating craze is by
no means the first. It Is , in fact , the
third. There was a very extensive roller-
skating craze in this country in 1872 when
there were many skating rinks and many
thousand skaters in various patts of the
country , nnd in some places almost as
nuch excitement over it as there Is now.
[ lollor skating halls wcro established in
.hia city by Mr. Plimpton as long ago as
L8G5. They were attended by staid and
orderly people , including ministers , dea
cons and church member ? , and on one
> ccaslon the good folks astonished their
'riends , and , In fact , themselves by a
waltz figure during lent. They did not
iwako to the enormity of the offaiso nu
ll some of the newspaper began to write
horn up. Roller skating was extensively
ntroducod in schools and continued iu
> rlvato social circles for many years with-
iut any attempt to make the skating halls
ho resort of promisculoui assemblages.
In 18GG roller skatirg was started at
Newport in the Atlantic boas ? , and for
several years was patronized by tha best
society. The largo dining room of the
Atlantic was used for skating , and clergy
men , lawyers , doctors , and the most ex
emplary citizens jolnod in the apart.
Ia 1870 a considerable number of lead-
ng members of New York society were
nterested Jn roller skating. The Union
club members were prominent in it.
Among those who participatedwcra James
J. Bennett , M. Douglas , A. Wiight'San-
ord , Mr. Howland , Mrs. John Jay ,
Ur Livingston , and others equally welt
known. They first engaged Lyrlo hall ,
and subsequently Irving hall , and the
attendance was very select. The public
was not admitted.
_ The first absolute public roller-skating
ink in this countr ywas established in
Ilncinnati in 1807 , and the amusement
ook a firm hold there. They had a news-
> apor devoted to the interest ] of rollor-
kating , published in 1877 , called the
Skate Roll. At that time the rinks were
igldly conducted , ao as to Interest the
lost conservative and orderly ( persons ,
'bo rules and regulations of the floor also
were such as would obviate many of the
bjectinns to the modern skating rink.
Mr. Plimpton had bis skates patented
n England and about ten years ago there
was a roller-skating craze in that country
Imilar to that which prevails here now ,
with the exception that it waa atartfad
-Ith the deliberate purpose of interesting
tie most conservative and orderly people ,
nd to make It a reputable amusement ,
'hero wcro at one time about 400 placca
or roller skating in England. Mr.
'limpton invested considerable ) capital in
10 entorpriao and as soon aa ho became
uccetaful found himself confronted with
n army of infrirgora. Ho fought about
wo dozen of these infringes in the law
ourts and won all hla suits. Roller skat- .
ig in England waa conducted at first tin-
er very high social auspices. There waa
no club known aa the Prince Club , which
onaiated entirely of titled personages
3d their children. The suits to restrain
10 infringers of the American patents at- ;
ractod widespread attention , nnd the
lals were attended by great crowds ,
'ho American pitentco won denounced as
monopolist. His law expontoa were
normons , Fabulous storiea were told of
Is profits , and ho undoubtedly made a
rcat deal of money from hia invention ,
[ o foresaw the objec'ions that might bo
alsed , and anticipated the strongest argu-
nonts now brought to boar against the
fating rlnki. The rinks thit he ostab-
shed were regulated by atrlngent con-
acts , so as to forestall and prevent
icso objections. This ho did from the
onviction that as a matter of enlightened
elf-interest , it wouldbo most profitable
o make roller skating respectable.
Mr , Plimpton has had considerable
tigation in this country to protect hla
nvcntlon. Hla patents expired in Juno ,
883. Ho has not , however , lost his in-
orest In roller skating , but deprecates
iio surroundings that have now been con-
ectod with It.

still , with parafiino oil. Occasionally
when ono is frozen , and far from help , thi
part , frozen , if an extremity , will snap off ,
Laat year a man living about thirty miloi

"On Board of the Cumberland , "
The Davenport ( Iowa ) Democrat gives
the following account of the experience
of Capt. M. S. Stuyvosant , a resident of
that place , during the famous fight between
tweon the rebel ram Merrimac and the
nnion fleet. The cAptian was on bcarc
the Cumberland In the capacity of navi
gating master. The crow was not full ,
and Oapt. Stnyveeant had command of a
division on the gun-deck numbering tor
pieces. "Tho Cumberland , " remarked
the captain , "waa a sailing ship , no steam
power whatever. We were at anchor
when the Morrimac came at uo.Yo
know all about her , and had boon expect
ing her for da ; a. Ouo of her oflicers waa
a classmate of mine at the naval school
by the way and I knew that , too. There
wasn't a breath of wind when she
came toward uo , and her course was such
that our side gnns were of no
uao whatever , and when eho got in range
all the guns wo could uao were the swiro
guns on deck and we might as wcl
have fired popguns , for their balls glanuec
off her iron plating like so many hall
stonea. She poured shot Into us , herr
ever , from the moment she came in
range. Wo couldn't move our ship , the
uir was no calm , and she kept out ol
range of the broadside guns nntll ahowas
83 close she know that wo couldn't fire
below her water line , and then she
changed to come to our broadside and
ram the Cumberland. Before this her
balls had had terrible effect , bnt as she
came tip for that side wo gave her the
best wo had. But soon her ram stove ua
in , and the Cumberland commenced to
fill. Every shot came with fatal effect.
Ono shot killed eight men of my division
that wcro standing in line awaiting
orders. I saw that and not
& minute after a shot took of !
the head of a mnstot'a mate and
hurled it against Commander Solfridge
himself I I thought the moment that the
ram struck ns , that if wo couldn't ship
the anchor chain wo might drift into
shoal water and thus save our wounded ,
[ went forward to drive the pin , but it
was impossible to either drive It out or
break It. There waa a foot or water
there , and it was red frith blood. "
"Well , how did you eaopa from the
ship , anyway , captain ? " asketl the re
porter.
"Thoro comes ono of those funny in-
: idonts which will occur in the most des
perate conflicts , and make you laugh in
iplte of all the blood apd death and agony
.hat may bo about you and that was
vhy I was the man to leave the Cnmbor-
and , " answered the captain. "The ship
vas sinking fast , and 1 tried to got to the
ipardcck , but a big follow who was a
Irummer reached the stops before mo ; ho
rled to save his drum n bass dram
md it fastened him iu the hatchway , and
10 I ran aft and went tip that way nnd
nmpcd into a launch , the last man into
t , and pulled away for land. Wo went '
Lahore , organized a gun's crow , hauled a
here gun down to the water's edge , and \
ired at the crews of the rebel gunboats
hat were boarding the Congress to take
irlsonora. They had fired into the Con-
; rosa after aho had quit fighting and had
a'eod ' the white flag. '
Capt. Sturvcsant served In several
ihipa , and was on the Woohawkcn when
iho went down in Charleston bay , and
mrrowly escaped death. Ho was second
n command of the Miantonomah during
ler European cruian _ . _

Tha romarkftblo growth of OmahR
during the laat few yosrs Ii maitoi ot
great utonlshmont to thouo who pay an
occasional visit to this growing city. Tha
development of the StopV Yarda tha
necessity of the Bolt Linn Road tha
finely paved ntrooU the hnndroda of uow
rosltfcnoos and ooetly bnalnoaa blooki ,
with the population of onr olty moro than
donblod In the laat five year * . All this
la a great aurprlao to vlaltort and la tha
admiration of onr cltlicnij. Thli rapid
Rrorrth , the bnalneoa aotlvlty , and tha
many substantial Improvements made a
lively demand for Omaha real cotato , and
every Investor has made handioma
profit.
Sinao the Wall Street panic Hay ,
with the snbooquont cry ot hard times ,
there has boon loon demand from specula
tors , bnt a fab demand from Invostori
Booking homos. Thlo latter clacs are
taking advantage of low prlcoa In build

at much loss ooat than will bo poulblo n

wo could rooaonably dealro. Now man
ufacturing establlchmonts and largo job
bing houaoa are added nlmost weekly , and
all add to the prosperity of Omaha.
There are many In Omaha and through
out the State , who have tholi money In
Lho banka drawing a nominal rate of In
terest , which , If judiciously Invested In
Omaha real ottato , would bring them
much greater returns. Wo have ninny
bargains which wo are confident will
bring the purchaser largo profitn In thi
near future.
Wo have for sale the finest residence -
dence property in the north and
western parta of the city.

able prices OH Sherman avenue. 17th ,

The grading of Farnam , Califor-
ia and Davenport streets has made
ccessible some of the finest and
heapest residence property in the
