FLORIDA.
A gifted writer (Gayarre) produced a
book entitled “Romance of the History of
Louisiana." All history of our sister-
State Florida, must be more nearly akin
to the romance of history than to that
hum-drum, realistic article known as
“history" which fits the facts in the an
nals of most countries of the globe.
We have before us a charming “Histo
ry of Florida,” which is, of necessity, 6ueh
a romance as the facts of the history of
that State demands. It is entitled “His
tory of Florida from its discovery by
Ponce de Leon in 1512 to the close of
War in 1842. By George R. Fairbanks."
We procured the volume recently from
our friend Mr. J. S. F. Lancaster of the
leading Book store in Savannah, Messrs.
John M. Cooper & Co.
The book is one of such merit as might
be expected from the pains-taking and
truthful author, Maj. Fairbanks. We had
a pleasant personal acquaintance with the
Major during the “War between the
States.” He served the Southern cause
faithfully through that long and dreary
straggle; and after its mournful close, he
became one of the Professors in the Uni
versity of the South, located at Sewanee,
on the Cumberland Mountain Plateau in
Tennessee. From that serene height,
surrounded by libraries and literary leis
ure, and by an enthusiasm for research
into the wonderful annals of the State of
Florida (which had been his home prior
to the war) Maj. Fairbanks has recently
put forth far the best History of Florida
which has even appeared. It makes a
handsome duodecimo volume of 350 pages
published in good style by Lippincott cf
Philadelphia.
This volume commences with the dis
covery of Florida by the first European
adventurers in 1512, under the leader
ship of Ponce de Leon. The fruitless (or
worse than fruitless) search for the fa
bled “Fountain of Youth,” w as succeed
ed by the renowned expeditions of De-
Ayllon, Miraelo, Cordova, Alaminos and
Yerazzano. These again were speedily
followed by the successive expeditions of
Narvaez, de Yaca, de Soto, and the bloody
massacres which took place near the
mouth of |St. John's River between con
tending hostile Frenchmen and Span
iards under Ribaut, Laudonniere, Men-
endez and de Gourgues.
Thence, through the long ages that fol -
lowed, including a concise, yet clear ac
count of the military operations of Geor
gia’s illustrations founder, Gen. Ogle
thorpe about the year 1740, against the
Spanish masters of Florida. Major Fair
banks' narrative brings down Ins vivid
portraiture of events to the close of the
Seminole war in the year 1842.
In this history of our neighboring
State of Florida, Georgia and Georgians
must necessarily be deeply interested;
and as citizens of the same great Corns
monwealth, more ^specially of the suffer*-
ing Southland of which Florida is, geo
graphically, the most Southern. Geor
gians sincerely rejoice at the prospects
of material prosperity which seem to
dawn over that glowing sunny-land of
the orange and the palmetto. From the
winters which chain in icy bonds the
frozen North of our Republic, increasing
numbers of visitors annually flock for
health and pleasure to the sunny warmth
of Florida; and her history in past ages,
full of romance, yet of reality also, are to
these migratory mortals an indescribable
charm. Let us appreciate that charm
ourselves, and drink in the marvels and
the mysteries *bf the history of this won
der land as well as it may be read and
comprehended, drank and enjoyed by our
beloved friends in Massachusetts, “or any
other man." W. G. M.
Harper’s Magazine for Juno comes
with its asoMl attraction* Among a num
ber of pleasant articles we select that of
Joseph Rodman Drake, the author of the
poem known as “Culprit Fay”—a little
gem of its kind. Drake die! at the early
age of 30 years. He seemed to have lived
upon the principle that “it is better to
wear out than to rust out. At seven
years of age he had acquired much liter
ary information, and at fourteen was no
mean poet. A contemporary gives him
this mead of praise; “Indeed bis pecu
liarity was that of instantaneous creation;
for thought, imagination, truth and im
agery, seemed to combine and produce
their result in a moment.”
His pnnoiple poems are the “Ameri
can Flag,” and tpe “Culprit Fay. Th<
latter was written among the Hudson
Highlands, while strolling with some
friends where
“Naught i* seen l«thi*Ta,uU on high
But the moon, and the star?, nod the cloudless tmj.
One of the party asserted that it woulc
be difficult to write a faery poem, pureh
imaginative, without the aid of humai
characters. A few days thereafter th<
friends met and Drake offered the “Cul
prit Fay,” in proof that fancy could soar
amid the stars, the sea, and the air, and
create a romance far too airy to mingle
with human dross.
For beauty of sentiment, lustre of irnag
ination, and moral excellence, the “Cul
prit Fay ” must rank high. A poor little
Oupke broke his vestal vow by falling
captive to the charms of a mortal maid
en; but on account of her being as “pure
as the angel forms above,” bis punish
ment was lessened, and he was condemn

THE BATTLE OF CHICAMAUGA.
JOHN C. REED, ESQ.
Among the able corps of contributors
to the Southern Law Review of Nashville
we are pleased to number our fellow citi
zen of Georgia, John C. Reed, Esq., of
Lexington. This gentleman is already
well known to his legal brethren through
out the State by his timely and pains
taking volume on the Criminal Law in
Georgia—a valuable manual to the prac
titioner of which we have heretofore spo
ken through the press in commendatory
terms. "We now find in the April number
of the Law Review we have mentioned, a
learned and discriminating article on Cod
ification : a subject more and more engag
ing attention of legal minds in America
since the vast accumulations of statutory
enactments in the many States, and by
Congress, and the still vaster accumula
tions of decisions of Supreme Courts,
State and Federal, present without di
gests and codes such “confusion worse
confounded” as must set at naught the
boldest enterprise and the most magnifi
cent breadth of human genius.
We commend to our intelligent readers;
pai ticularly those devoted to legal studies,
Mr. Reed’s just and philosophic remarks
on Codification. We append the opening
paragraph of this thoughtful and just ar
ticle. which presents a fine photograph of
the idea of modern philosophical generali
zation:
“CODIFICATION.”
“To understand codification, it must be
recollected that in every department of
human activity there is a growingtenden
cy at work always to simplify details.—
There is all the while a breaking up of
some group of particulars and a re-ar
rangement of them with some other class.
The reader who keeps up with the march
of modem science is almost wonder-struck
at the widening comprehensiveness of it3
generalizations. We need not stop to
say that we agree or disagree with Her
bert Spencer’s magnificent attempt to
unify all nature under the law of evolution
and dissolution which he grounds on the
solitary postulate of the persistence of
Force. He says : ‘This being the basis
of experience must be the basis of any
scientific organization of experience. To
this an ultimate analysis brings us down ;
and on this a rational synthesis must
build up.’ Yet the attempt, whether suc
cessful or a failure, is in harmony with
the tendencies everywhere. Knowledge
becomes better organized, and the longer
the sciences are cultivated there is a slow
decrease of what are claimed to be the
leading principles and a correspondent
adjustment of the divisions or groups.—
To illustrate from no other science than
that of agricultural chemistry, only note
how the vast aggregate of details, which
had begun to take intelligent shape under
Lielng, have shrunken still more, be-*
coming proportionately more intelli
gibly under the luminous treatment of
George Villc.” w. (j jf.
A reporter of the St. Louis Globe re
cently interviewed General Forrest about
the conduct of the war. General F.
thinks that President Davis managed the
affairs of the government as well as any
man could under the circumstances. He
believes the removal of Gen. Johnson
was poor policy because he had so com
pletely won the confidence of his soldiers;
but he attributes the ultimate result to
two lamentable disasters—the failure of
Gen. Beauregard to follow up the victory
at Shiloh, and the failure of Gen. Bragg
to follow the victory at Chicamauga If
these victories had been followed up, the
South in Gen. Forrest’s opinion, would
have been an independent nation.
General Forrest gives great promi
nence to the battle at Chicamauga. The
route of the Federal army was complete
on Sunday. On Monday General For
rest drove the Federal pickets into
Chattanooga, and of personal knowledge
he declares that the enemy were entire
ly disorganized, with the exception of a
few brigades.. If Gen. Bragg had follow
ed up his victory on Sunday night, he
could have captured the entire army with
little or no resistance. With the captur
ed horses he could have mounted twenty
thousand additional men, with which to
capture Nashville and the State of Ten
nessee, probably the whole of Kentucky,
and perhaps Cincinnati, before the enemy
could have gathered another army. It
would have broken the backbone of the
war, and settled the contest in our favor.
The Federal troops were completely pan
ic stricken, and were huddled together
among their wagons and catde and in
other places, and were in no mood to
fight.
General Bragg has also been heard
from on this subject His story vindi
cates his action, which he thinks has
been unjustly assailed by Gen. Forrest.
He went into the battle with only thirty-
nine thousand men, and when it was
over his effective force was cut down to a
meagre army of twenty thousand. Seven
teen thousand men fell on the victorious
field.
General Bragg promises to write a full
and accurate description of the battle,
and the facts connected with it, when he
reaches his home and gets access to his
papers. He is confident that he can vin
dicate his generalship after the bat
tle.
The past month has been remarkably
fruitful of material for the truth-seeking
historian of the future. There are still
many disputed points, but sooner or later,
all will be made plain and justice accord
ed to every participant in the heroic
straggle.

THU FLOWER MISSION.
On one of the hottest days of that hot HP IJ I? (j RA NilE HOUSE,
Summer which burned itself into every-; 1 5
body’s memory, a lady in the country; ATLANTA, GEORGIA,
happened to send a large basket of out I *>^r i| |»c ||ARNETT,
flowers to a fciend who had been forced O 1 ID I >
to remain in town through even the fiery
heat of July. The lady, as sheuneovered
the basket of pansies and roses, heavy
with fragrance and still wet with dew,
stood by an open window, and, glancing
,ut carelessly, saw two wretched litth
street Arabs dragging their barrow o
fid rags along through the dust. 'With

of the roses. She quite expected thei
istonished yell of delight, and the qtucl

in hats, in caps, bareheaded, in fint
sailor rig, or in rags—but all together ir
a white heat of excitement, and yellmf
in concert? Now this phenomenon snd
denly overwhelmed our fr iend with tin
roses. The street was one of a quiet,
decent quarter, where the class called
gutter boys were unfrequent visitors: but
here they were, dirty, ill-smelling, wan-
faced, an army of them, before lier, as
though her scattered leaves had been
dragon’s teeth, and brought forth this
crop of miniature savages out of the pave
ment. Newsboys, bootblacks with their
boxes strapped on their backs, miserable
little organ grinders, still moie miserable
beggars, artistically gotten up for effect,
in dirt and nakedness, all mere children
together for the moment, whine, slang,
petty rascality forgotten, their little hands
held up, and their eyes' sparkling at the
sight of a flower! “You are not going
to give your lovely roses to these crea
tures?” remonstrated somebody inside.
The lady had no faneyforplaying Bounti
ful on the street; but the evening was
darkening and the widow low; besides,
she had babies of her own, and no mother s
heart could stand those pleading, dirty
little faces. So the flowers were doled out
carefully at last, for the crowd without
gathered fast, and when the last leaf was
gone there was still an unsatisfied row
of upturned, eager faces. The lady had
in her time assisted to distribute songs
or clothes to crow'ds of the poor, and
observed the callous indifference with
which they took both as their right; but
for these flowers she was repaid by breath
less gratitude, joyous little cackles of
laughter, and in every instance by the
same tender handling which the first boys

Now there was nothing in this story j
worth the telling; the lady herself only ,
recollected it afterward when she would
pass a garden fall of imperial lilies or |
rich-hued roses frilling from their stems :
unnoticed in the wanton abundance of
Sommer, and thought how in the city ;
there were countless stifling alleys and |
courts to whose wretched inhabitants the j
wonder of a single rose was unknown |
year after year. Another lady, however, j
in Boston had a similar experience six j
years ago, and ont of her thoughts about
it grew the Flower Mission in that city, '■
which has every Summer since 18G8 sup- j
plied the prisons, hospitals, asylums, and !
thousands of poor homes with weekly fair
and fragrant messages of the fields, and |
the loving God who made them. This j
Flower Mission has extended to several
churches of tliiscity, and to the Children s 1
Aid Society. If any of our readers doubt
its utility let them take a few flowers into
anv of the wretched purlieus of the city,
and they will find these messengers from
Heaven have more sacred meanings and
uses than to serve as a button-hole bou
quet or fade in the heated air of a ball- |

that at one point in the meal he calmly
extended his paw and removed from his
neighbor’s plate to his own some pretty
tiny kickshaws, which particularly pleased
him. He drank claret with Ins steak,
lounged in his chair between the courses,
and cracked his walnuts and took his

A DASHING FLIRT.
The dashing flirt does very heavy execu
tion. She dances, rides, and talks with
so keen an enjoyment in each that it
imparts itself to others; her interest
never flags, her tongue exemplifies per •*
petual motion, and her overflowing animal
spirits are as exhilarating as a sea breeze.
She is exceedingly imperious and haughty,
and rales everybody connected with her,
from her mamma to her maid, and from
Captain Jones, whom she delights to
honor, to little Johny Wilkins, who
hangs about her and devotedly performs
her behests for weeks and weeks without
receiving a kind word. But then, w hen
she does condescend, her kindness is so
delightful that all her retainers from
mamma and A^int Lucy and Captain
Jone* down, bask joyfully in the “sun of
sweet content.” Loyal Johnny Wilkins’
fidelity and deft execution of sundry
commands are rewarded by a charming
little speech of recognition, and he is most
grateful and happy. She is a person of
great determination, does as she likes
best, and possesses an insight into char
acters and motives which enables her
“to play upon them seems to know their
stops, and sounds them from their lows
est to the top of their compass,” and is
gentle or stein, coaxing or bullying,
affecting or cold, as her quick discrimis
nation suggests.

as New York,) is thus shut off. Hence
Brooklyn will advocate cremation, and
will urge the emptying of the cemetery
and the burning of its dead tenantry.
The next step will be the taxation of the
old burial grounds in this city, which are
now needed for building lots. The dead
can be subjected to the purification of lire,
and all that now rest in Trinity, or St.
Paul’s or the Boman Catholi'’ cemetery,
can be accomodated in an urn no big
ger than a flour barrel. Why then should
ten acres of ground (as at present) be
thns misappropriated 1 Such I say will
bo the natural results of the cremation
system, and those who own lots in Green
wood, and have expensive monuments
there,..will do well to consider the risks
which now threaten them.
The next proposition of the cremation-
ists will be to utilize the ashes of the dead
for the use of the living:
If Ca-sar’s body, “dead and turned to clay,
May atop a hole to keep the wind away,’’
Why may not Frothinghatn, combined with plaster,
Be used to make onr garden truck.grow faster ?
Or Bergh reduced to ashes fine ami dry.
Be boxed and labelled “concentrated lye ?''
Some Yankee genius, on invention bent,
Hay find in Beecher’s urn a good cement,
And Butler's carcase, by the dames refined,
Polish the ailver spoons he leavoe behind.
• Aerial Navigation.
Two Frenchmen, aeronauts have re
cently made an interesting experiment
in aerial navigation. The balloon “Etoile
Polaire” was sent np to ascertain if the
respiration of highly oxygenized air
would mitigate the suffocating effects of
high levels and thus enable the aeronaut
to venture beyond altitudes already
reached. This experiment was sugges
ted by the French physicist de Fonvielle,
and was made by the balloonist ,Sivel
and Croce-Spinelli, in an airship con
structed for the purpose. The last nam
ed aeronaut, when he had reached a
height of sixteen thousand four hundred
feet, was nearly suffocated; but on using
the oxygenized-airrespirator he soon
recovered. The temperatures, encoun
tered, even at this comparatively moder
ate level, was very low. At twenty-four
thousand six hundred feet of elevation
the spectroscopic observation showed
none of the lines which indicate the
presence of aqueous vapor, and the solar
rays were nearly invisible. When not
using the respirator the skies appeal ed
to the observers quite dark, but when
freely respiring the oxygenized air the
bins oolor of the heavens was restor
ed.
THE GREAT REMEDY FOR
CONSUMPTION
which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation, as lias been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Lung complaints,
•and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cme in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. Wistar’s
Balsam does not dry up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, hut it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
the complaint.
