The telegraph reports the fun eral of the czar of Russia as the most magnificent, most impressive and most pathetic pageant. Some 300,000 boxes of oranges liave reached New York this sea son from the groves in Florida, valued at (500,000. Ten years ago not a box was shipped to that market, in fact there were but lew trees in St. Johns county. The plantations now cover a tract of 400 miles long 13' twenty miles -wide. An extended s'stcm of industrial education is to be introduced into the public schools of Paris this year. Fifty or sixty work-shops -will be opened to begin with, and upon the success of these will de pend the success of the system and its adoption in every school in the city, which now is an intention of the authorities. The consumption of cotton in the south last year ic given by the census as 180,000 bales; of these, 33S,900 were used in the Atlantic states, nearly half of this being in Georgia. The consumption in the New England states was 1,140,GOO bales, Massachusetts, of course, standing first, and using over one half of the whole New England allotment; in the Middle states (including Maryland), 2:31,000, m the Western states, 2S,000. The total consumption in the county, therefore, is about l.oSG,000 bales. 3 SI ,029 persons being employed in the working of this quantity of cotton. A great transportation compairy Is reported from St Louis, and is another indication of the rapidity with which our forcigh traile is overflowing its old limitsj and find ing out new routes. The following account of the new enterprise comes from St. Leuis: "A cor poration has been organized here called the St. Louis, !Kew Orleans and Foreign Dispatch company, the purpose of which is to forward grain in bulk and all kings of pro duce and merchandise direct from St. Louis to Liverpool and other foreign ports. Through bills of .lading will be given here on all dxeight destined to Europe. The Large lines between here and New Orleans will be used to convey grain in bulk, and the Anchor line steamers for the transportation of other freight. Through bills of lading will also be given at Eu ropean ports on all merchandise destined for St. Louis. 13. "W. Lewis, formerly the president of the St. Louis, Kansas city and Northern railroad, is the president of the company." The late secretary o -war recom jnended to General Hazen, chief signal officer, a test of all forts, arsenals, armories and barracks where cannon are in use, and lo cated in the populous states of the plan of storm and flood signals by the telegraph and cannon. This is intended as a universal system to give certain, instant and general -warning of tornadoes, of rain storms for the benefit of agricul ture, especially during haying and Jiarvest, and sudden floods on rapid rivers. If the test proves success ful at military stations, it can then be established by the local authori ties at the county seats and princi pal towns in the United States at a trifling cost. This plan was opposed by General Myer for ten years, but with the recommenda tion of Secretary Hamse' it is expected that General Hazen will make the test, especially as the Jaw establishing the weather bureau covers this plan, and the Western Union telegraph company, with 150,000 miles of telegraph lines, and over 12,000 station agents, have three times offered free tele grams of storms and floods to test the plan at cities and towns which jay establish the cannon system. Divorce in Prance. The attempt to pass a divorce law in France failed in the French assembly, February 11th, by a vote of 247 to 21G. Curiously enough, the moderate liberals were opposed to it, on the simple ground that it would be dangerous to familiarize a people so mobile and restless as the French even with the idea that the marriage contract was capable of dissolution. Thev insist on the strong influence on the imagination of the married of th6 old tradition that nothing but the death of one of the arties to a matrimonial contract can enable the other to marry again. Nobody who has paid much attention to the subject can doubt that there is a good deal in this. In the relations of the sexes nothing lias such a depress ing effect on the imagination as a sense of impossibility. The de sire to be divorced, in fact, may be said to grow in the ratio of the facility of getting divorces. Another argument produced by Temps was more recondite, viz: that if there were divorce in France marriage contract, where the wife had money, would generally be drawn under the "regime dotal," that is, the wife's dowery would be tied up to her separate use, and could not be used 03- the hus band. At present most marriage contracts among the industrial burgcoisc are drawn under the "regime de ia communaute," which enables the husband, with the wife's consent, to use her money as capital in his business, ll theie were divorce, says the Temps, people would be afraid of the "Regime de la communaute," and would confine themselves to the "regime dotal," which would lead to the "immobilization" of "incal culable amounts of capital," and "introduce great confusion into the financial situation." Another strong point made was that divorce has not as yet been introduced among any Latin race, and that the example of the Tueutouic races on this point is of no use for Frenchmen, at all events as long as the education of the French girls is so different from the "education libre et virile de la jeune Miss Anglaise on Ameri caine." Attention to Small Tilings. In all the affairs of life it is the stitch in time that saves us trou ble. Some of us seem to find it impossible to take it; we are de layed about repairing the roof, for want of material, till the dampness cracks the plaster, and peels off the wall paper, and gives us bron chitis; we would take such pleasure in settling our bills before the in terest doubles them as only he who owes them knows; we realize the necessity of a stitch in time in our affairs, but hare no thread and needle, so to speak, or we fancy that we will attend to them to morrow, or next week, or after we have jj-otten through with the work in hand, and then they are beyond mending, sometimes it is our friendships that show a break, when a word spoken in season, how good it is! What tears and regrets it saves us! Many a heart ache could be spared us by a sea sonablc adjustment of difficulties. The cable message to Australia respecting the Hanlan-Trickett match was a remarkable achieve ment in telegraphy in fact, it has never been excelled. The total extent of lines, 12,000 miles, was traveled in one hour and twenty minutes. Ihe greater portion of this time was occupied in traus mitting the message through India. From Singapore to Sydney, 5,070 miles, the message occupied only thirt3'-five seconds in transmission. This message was repeated four teen times from station to station between London and Sydney. A Chicago man committed sui cide the other day because he found his business increasing so rapidry that he feared that he wouldn't be able to manage it. "We suspect it never occurred to him to order his advertisements out of the papers. Norristown Herald. DIED Tn Astoria. March 22, 1SS1. Henry H. Jackson,agel 37 years ami nine months. NEW TO-DAY.
