Will the Augusta papers take our advice and stop quarreling ? Join hands, Colonels, and go up the canal—led by those princes of good fellows, Jean Maxwells and Ouiiliam 3Ioore.

ESTABLISHED 1850. the right to secure themselves from the crops of the year in which such things were done or furnished.” This was known as the lien law, and the Supreme Court of Geor gia decided on various occasions that a debt contracted for family supplies or commercial manures stood as to the produce of the crop in the nature of the purchase money,” or as material furnished therefor.” But now that the lien haw has been repealed, the law as to growing crops is the same as it stood prior to 1866. No lien can be given on a growing crop. When the lien law was repealed, the decision of the Supreme Court founded on that law ceased to be in force and effect. The right of homestead in any property not already set apart may be waived, bnt as a growing crop is not prop erty, because it is not mature, is not the subject matter for a mortgage, and hence a waiver or renunciation of homestead cannot be made to apply to it. This decision of Register Murray was approved by Judge Erskine. Florida Affairs. Let’s have another Radical Convention in Florida. The Jacksonville Union heads a dispatch sent North in regard to the Madison Conven tion “Conover’s dispatch.” If Conover lives in Savannah, and is the agent of the Asso ciated Press, he sent that dispatch. Not otherwise. Is it really true that Col. Johnny R. Scott, colored, said he had too many wives and children to see the Radical party divided, or was the report to that effect merely a dia bolical freak of the lightning ? And now that Stearns is nominated by his little gang, what is he going to do about it ? And what is Conover going to do ? They are a nice pair—very nice, indeed. We ad vise them both to sell out and leave an open field for the Democratic candidate. The report of the proceedings of tho Madison Convention in the Morning News, both by telographiand by mail, is by far the most graphic that has yet appeared. The Sentinel doesn’t say a word about the Conover Convention, and the Union also pretends ti ignore it. Stearns and his stool- pigeons will probably hear, before the season is over, that there was a Conover Convention. They might as well recognize that fact first as last, and the sooner they buy the Conoverites out the better. And so Colonel David Recorder, of tho Madison Montgomery, is to be Lieutenant- Governor. Dave ought to be a happy man. We received a pleasant call a few days ago from Mr. 8. D. Lee, formerly city editor of the Jacksonville Union, who was on his way northward. Where is the pool-seller ? Two to one that Conover will buy ont Steams. Eight to two that Stearns buys out Conover. Twenty to one that the Democrats can buy out the en tire conoern, lock, stock and barrel. The field is still nnsold. Who bids ? One bun dred to ten that if the right man iB nomi nated at Quincy to-day, he sweeps the State. The question “And why Walls?” was finally settled at Madison. Gentlemen of the Democratic press of Florida, your opportunity has come. Your work is cut out for you. Unlimber your guns, and fire straight at the mark. There are no side issues. Democracy pure and simple is reform enough for any honest, sin cere man. We regret to learn that the editor of the Paiatka Herald fell from a scaffold the other day and dislocated his left shoulder. It is not stated how many stories high Ihe scaf fold waa, but if it was based on some of Pratt’s stories it must have been pretty tall, There is a rumor to the effect that the steamer David Clark will ply on the inland route between Savannah and Paiatka daring the summer months. Mr. Fred W. Hoyt has wonderfully im proved the city department of the Jackson ville Sun, He is a versatile and vigorous writer. Mule-thieves infest Jefferson county. The Qninoy Journal says that a dog on Mr. W. H. Scott’s plantation was bitten on the neck by a rattlesnake. One of the laborers on the place killed the snake and took the heart and entrails from it, and put the heart into the dog’s throat and bound the entrails on the wound on the neck, and took the dog into running water, and kept him there for an hour or more. The dog is alive with no visible mark of the bite. Liberty county sharpers palm off cakes of rosin for beeswax upon unsuspecting Quincy merchants. One of the most brilliant writers con nected with the Florida press is C. E. Dyke, Jr., of the Tallahassee Floridian. He is quite a young man. Mr. E. M. Hampton has taken formal leave of the Cedar Key Journal. His new paper at Gainesville will soon make its ap pearance. The James Islander is the name of a Flor ida paper published at Louisville, Ky. A convention of watermelon growers of South Georgia and Florida will soon be oalled by the Arredondo Vegetable and Fruit Growers’ Association for the purpose of devising ways and means for shipping this important crop. The convention will proba bly meet in Live Oak not later than the 16th. Delegates, with certificates to the effect that they have in cultivation five acres of water melons for shipment, will be passed over the railroads free both ways. The Norfolk truck-farmers are now send ing their products to market in such quan tities that Florida vegetables are practically crowded out. It will not pay at present to ship beans, squashes or cucumbers to either Northern or Western markets. Tomatoos and egg-plants properly packed—the first wrapped in paper and the latter in moss— find ready and profitable sale. The Cedar Key Journal says that Mr. Masters, an old citizen of that place, has growing in his garden a cotton stalk that possesses claims to particular notice. This is the fifth year of its growth. It passes the stages of budding, blooming and fruit ing with the regularity of an annual. It was in bloom in the early part of last March, and now presents an array of squares, blooms, and full grown bolls. The plant does not exceed three feet in height, with lateral branches covering a space of one yard. The variety is the long staple. Orlando is Bhortly to have a bras: band. A negro in Orange connty accidentally shot himself the other day. At a citizens’ meeting in Madison the fol lowing ticket for city officers was nominated: For Mayor, Hunter Pope; Aldermen, Alex ander McDonald, H. M. Fernside, D. Mont gomery, Anthony Johnson and James Mobo- ley; Marshal, John Lewis; Clerk and Treas urer, John Eagan. The election took place on the 5th inst. Hunter Pope is a graduate of the University of Georgia. An orange tree at Fort Harley, on the Santa Fee river, produced last year eight thousand oranges. It is over three feet in diameter, and casts a shadow measuring thirty-two and a half feet. A wharf, suitable for the accommodation of large steamers, is being built at San Mateo. Robert Patten, living about six miles from here, near Lake Jackson, lost four oxen last Sunday night, and found two of them, it is reported, in a butcher-pen in this place the next day. The name of Yellow Bluff has boon changed to Berlin, and Goodman to Green ville. A field of corn containing twelve acres, near Clay SpringB, is now in tassel, and will average over eight feet in height. The crops in Sumter coonty are looking finely. Two Indians were seen near Tampa re cently. Pensacola has had a ripe peaob. The crop of “Cuban" tobacco grown in GadsdeD connty, says an exchange, contin ues to increase in quantity and improve in quality year by year. In 1870 the census reported 118,7^1 pounds. Last spring a wri- of Agriculture re turned 206,000, and this spring 350,000 pounds for the crop of 1876, grown on 450 acres—an enlargement of 50 per cent, in tho area planted. The quality is the best of any crop since 1865, attributed to the fact that experienced planters have entered upon its cultivation. The fire-fiend of Jacksonville, John Dunn, has been indicted. His father was arrested Monday for beating his wife. The amount of coupons stolen from Jack sonville has been ascertained to be abont $1,600, of which Messrs. Greeley & Paine had about $1,500. The Maiianna Thespians are preparing for the summer campaign. Colonel Coker informs the Mariam: a Courier that at his Dudley place, which, 1 y the way, has many rare and beautitul flowers, there is a century plant which will bloom in a few days. The main stem is fifteen or twenty feet in height, and at the top is branching out to present its bloom. Arrangements have been perfected by the managers of the Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad for the transportation of watermelons by the car-load from all points in Florida by rail to Richmond, Washington, Baltimore, Phila delphia nnd New York. Bnt one transfer is necessary on the route, that at Danville, where they will be transferred to well-venti lated peach cars on the Philadelphia, Wil mington and Baltimore Railroad. The Sanford Journal says that Gen. San ford proposes to enclose the beautiful warm sulphur spring at St. Gertrude, one mile from that place, and erect a suitable num ber of bath houses around the same for the accommodation of pleasure-seekers and in valids who may visit the Sanford House the coming season. Dr. Connel has made an analysis of the waters, aud writes the Gen eral that they contain valuable medicinal properties, especially for rheumatic,’liver and throat afflictions. For the use of the hotel he also proposes to conduct water from Lake Jennie to it, four miles south, through pipes laid under ground. The Key West Dispatch claims that the entire fishing trade of that port amounts to $125,000 a year. Cedar Kev Journal: We are always willing to accommodate our friends, bnt we assure those who have been in the habit of bor rowing the Savannah Mobning News that we discommode ourselves when we loan it out. The News is one of the best papers in the South and the very best to Floridians, as it contains the Associated Press dispatches and reaches the subscriber several days earlier than any other paper with telegraphic news. These aje centennial timeB and,with the Presidential election that comes off in November, makes the present year an im portant one. Everyone, therefore, should keep poBted in current topics, and the best way to do it is to subscribe at once for the Savannah News. Tampa Tribune: The effort of the Union to make the murder of E. G. Johnson ap pear a politic ll one, instigated by the Demo cratic press and leaders of the State, is in keeping with the well known mendacity of the perpetrator, or instigator of the Yelliw Bluff frauds, and swindler of the Freed man’s Bank in Jacksonville. After the ac quittal of the accused, and while the true murdeier is still unknown, it does appear that the Union is assuming great latitude to still harp on it as a political murder. According to the prominent Radical lead ers, there can be no doubt bnt that the ma jority of the political murders in this State have been committed through Radical in stigation, and by Radicals for political effect. In proof of this, we instauco tho charges of Stearns against Purman relative to the murders in Jackson connty. Pensacola Gazette: The negro Pete John son alias Pete Morgan, who was under arrest at Pollard on charge of haviDg murdered Mr. Zeb. Miles, storekeeper, of Bogee Sta tion in this couuty, was discharged on the technicality that there was no jurisdiction in the case, though little doubt exists as to his having committed the crime. He had scarcely escaped the clutches of the Alabama authorities when a requisition came from Florida, but the bird had flown. The two men arrested and sent to Pensacola assorted an alibi. It will be remembered that Miles was murdered in a cold-blooded manner, having been called from his bed in an ad joining room to the store at night, and was struck down with a bludgeon while in the act of drawing a bottle of whisky for tne customer who had summoned him. aud Marriage of Mr. T. J. Arnold Miss Eugenia Hill. Few more brilliant marriages take place than the one witnessed last even ing, in this city, at the residence of Gen. D. H. Hill, the bride’s father. The bride, Miss Eugenia Hill, was one of tbe most cultivated and accomplished young ladies in this section of the State. Her cordial manner, modest demeanor and natural kindness of heart, bad rendered her uni versally popular wherever known, and besides being connected with the largest and most influential family in the State, the wedding was attended with more than the usual interest upon such occa sions. The groom, Mr. Thos. J. Arnold, a nephew of the lamented Stonewall Jack- son, is a young lawyer of talent,from West Virginia, and we not only congratulate him upon the prize he has secured, but the people of his State upon this new and charming addition to their society. One, the daughter of the brave and daring Hill, the other, the nephew of the immor tal Jackson, conspicuous officers in the Confederate cause, it is not surprising that quite a number of admiring relatives and friends assembled to give tbeir smiles and encouragement to the happy conple upon this most important event of their lives. The attendants were as fol lows: 8. H. Chester, Miss Sallie Peck; F. B. McDowell, Miss Mamie Wilson; R. H. Morrison, Jr., Miss Bettie Parks; T. F. Drayton, Jr., Miss Isabel Irvin; B. A. Shot- well, Miss Alice Alexander; Frank Irvin, Miss Lucy Keid; R. D. Graham, Miss Nannie Hill; D. H. Hill, Jr., Miss Julia Jackson, and as the groom led his bride, arrayed in appropriate and beautiful at tire, many remarked that she never ap peared more lovely than on that occasion. The ceremony was performed by that venerable divine, R. H. Morrison, D. D., with the assistance of the Rev. Dr. Miller, of this city. The happy couple, after re ceiving the warm congratulations of many friends, and partaking of an elegant sup per, left on the U:30 train for a visit to friends in Charleston, thence to Philadel phia and their future home. We merely echo tbe feelings of the people of Char lotte when we extend them our sincereat wishes for a happy and prosperous voy age through life.—Charlotte Observer. Here is a pleasing tale which illus trates the Miss Sweet style of doing things in Egypt: A woman was mortally wounded by the falling of a wall. A neighbor took her in, tended her, and brought a female doctor to see if any thing could be done. The patient died in the neighbor’s house. The doctor in attendance must sign a certificate that death is from natural causes before the body can be buried. She refused to do so without backsheesh. The man in whose house the person died would be held responsible without such certifi cate. He therefore gave the backsheesh. The certificate had to be countersigned by the government doctor. He also re fused, and the man, again afraid of the alternative, again paid backsheesh. Fi nally, the Zabit, or head of the police, refused his permission, which is also necessary in such cases. His backsheesh was the biggest, and the man could stand the tax no longer. He went to the Zabit and said, “Now, look here, this body has been out of the ground four days. You are bound to bury it in twenty-four hours. You are the cause of the delay. Unless you sign at once, I shall go to the Moudir and report the non-burial of a body for four days, and you will lose your place.” The Zabit was defeated, and signed at onoe. _ Theodore Tilton is “rebuilding shat tered fortunes” on his lecturing tour. Seeing a dilapidated gravestone at North Attleboro bearing the name “Elizabeth Richards,” he gave five dollars to have it restored and some flowers put on the mound, saying that he did not know the deceased, but it represented a reminis cence. It will be remembered that his wife’s maiden name waa Elizabeth Rich ards. And he doubtles wished Bhe had always kept it. BY HI -TO— THE MORNING NEWS. Noon Telegrams. THE EPISTLES OF JAMES. How He Ruled in Favor of Caldwell. NEW ENGLAND COTTON CLOSING. MILLS A EUROPEAN WAR IMMINENT. BLAISE’S LETTEB8. Washington, June 6.—Extract from a letter from Blaine to Fisher, dated June 29, 1869: “Your offer to admit me to a participation in the new railroad is in every respect as generous as I could expect or desire. I thank you very sincerely for it, and in this connection I wish to make a suggestion of a somewhat selfish character. It is this : You spoke of Mr. Caldwell disposing of a share of his interest to me. If he really designs to do so I wish he would make the proposition definite, so that I could know just what to depend on. Perhaps if he waits for the full development of the enterprise he might grow reluctant to part with the share, and I do not by this mean any distrust of him. I do not feel that I shall prove a dead-head on the en terprise if I once embark in it. I see various channels in which I know I can be useful.” Augusta, Me., October 4, 1869. My Deab Sib—I spoke to you a short time ago about a point of interest toyonr r&iiroad company that occurred at the last session of Congress. It was on the last night of tbe session. When the bill renewing the land grant to the State of Arkansas for the Little Rock Road was reached, Mr. Julian, of Indiana, Chairman of the Public Lands Committee, and by right entitled to tbe floor, attempted to put on the bill as au amendment the Fremont El Pasco scheme—a scheme probably well known to Mr. Caldwell. The House was in session then, and the lobby in the Fremont interest had the thing all set up, aud Julian’s amend ment was likely to prevail if brought to a vote. Roots and other members from Ar kansas, who were doing their best for their own bill, to which there seemed to bo no objection, were in despair, for it was well known that the Senate was hostile to the Fremont scheme, and if the Arkansas biil had gone back to the Senate with Ju- liau’s amendment the whole thing would have gone on the table and slept the sleep of death. In this dilemma Roots came to me to know what on earth he could do un der the rules, for he said it was vital to his constituents that the bill should pass. I told him that Julian’s amendment was entirely out of order because not germane, bat he * had not sufficient confidence in his knowl edge of the rules to make the point, but be said General Logan was opposed to the Fre mont scheme, and would probably make the point. I sent my page to General Logan with the suggestion, and he at once made the point. I could not do otherwise than sustain it, aud so the bill was freed from tbe mischievous amendment moved by Julian and at once passed without objection. At that time I had never seen Mr. Caldwell, but you can tell him that, without knowing it, I did him a great favor. Sincerely yours, J. G. Blaine. COTTON MILLS CLOSING. Boston, June G.—The Atlantic Cotton Mills at Lawrence will be closed by the 10th inst., owing to embarrassments. The notes given in payment for improvement have become due, aud the treasurer has taken care of them up to this time. The total in debtedness i6 $812,500, which may be re duced to $617,000 by the sale of personal property. The indebtedness, which is largely due to savings banks, with the treasurer and his sons as sureties, are due this year and the next, aud the Treasurer thinks he should carry tho burden no longer. He has directed tbe agent to close the mill when the stock on hand is worked up, aud recommends that additional capital be provided to put the company in an independent position. The assets of the company, ab jve the indebted ness, are estimated at $1,782,500, and with the return of better times the property will be as valuable as ever. THE EASTERN MUDDLE. Berlin, June 6.—The correspondent of the limes at Berlin says : “Judging from the spoken and printed Sentiments of the adherents of Austria, it might be assumed that Andrassy contemplates the possibility of abandoning Russia and adopting tbe English view of Eastern affairs. The Husks Wier, organ of the St. Petersburg Sclavonic party, already regards war as imminent, aud discusses the points where Austria will concentrate to resist Russian attacks.” The Times's leading editorial says: “The English people have thought abjut Turkish affairs, and there is a resolve that Russia shall not with impunity tear up the treaty of Paris, and renew the aggressive policy which the Crimean war terminated.’* The plague still rages at Bagdad. RECEIVERS. Richmond, Va., Juno 6.—In the United States Circuit Court this morning, Judges Bond and Hughes presiding, the latter an nounced that the court had decided to appoint as joint receivers in the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad case Messrs. Charles L. Perkins, of New York, and Henry Fink, the present Superintendent of the line. These gentlemen were recommended by both parties to the case—Mr. Perkins on the part of the bondholders, and Mr. Fink on the part of the railroad company. congressional.

Stevens will discharge the special duties relative to the Norfolk harbor. Sam Ward, before the Ways and MeaDS Committee, knew nothing of $300,000 from California to pass the Hawaiian treaty. Ward stated that the investigations had hampered the bnsiness of lobbying. In the House, the change of rule was adopted—yeas, 115; nays, 97—so the Bank ing and Currency Committee can report the bill at any time. The Indian appropriation bill was resum ed. The chair overruled the point of order that the section transferring the Indian Bureau was not germane to the bill. The committee then rose aod reported the bill to the House, and it passed. In the Senate, the citizens of Nevada peti tion for legislation to prevent the emigra tion of the Chinese.

THE WESTERN KU-KLUX. San Francisco, Jane 6.—At a meeting last night of the anti-ChiDese Central Union, composed of delegates from all the cities and clnbs, the following communication was read: California anti-Coolie Secret 1 Organization, June 1,1876. ( Dear Sir—I beg to refer you to one of onr letters to tbe six companies, published in the daily papers last week, and as we see yon are likely to be in correspondence with every anti-Chinese club, we wish you would call attention to the same. Since that letter was written onr great organization has spread immensely, and is now called as above. We have received more support tbau we could have expected. Our supplies for the oity are nearly ell at hand, and our oonntry depots are complete and ready for action. We cannot be too strong—therefore if there are a few among the clubs who will support ns, all the better for the canse. We neither intend to respect the Chinese nor their employers. As ours is a secret organization, much work neces sarily falls on me, the President. We Bha'l, therefore, deem it a favor if yon will make this known to every mem her. We exonerate every anti-Coolie- clnb from any participation in tho organization. We are a picked army of trne Americans, determined to have a Cen tennial of onrs to celebrate. Signed, sworn and registered according to the laws of the above organization. (Signed) The President. A resolution was passed deprecating on the part of tho Union and City Clnbs all violence towards the Chinese, and calling on the Chief of Police 1o protect the Chinese, and pnnish those committing outrages on them. SPANISH AFFAIRS. Madrid, June 6.—In the Senate yester day during the debate on the new Constitu tion Premier Canovas del Castillo said the situation of political parties in Spain prevented the government from surrendering its right to suspend the constitutional guarantees. In the Con gress the discussion of the war esti mates began. Premier Canovas del Castillo, in making the adoption of the budget a Cabinet question, stated that the Budget Committee and the Minister of W rhave consented to a redaction of 31,000,000 pes- tas, which was sufficient. According to the latest intelligence from Rome the prospect of an understanding be tween Spain and the Vatican is good. narrow-gauge. Buffalo, June 6.—The completion of tbe third railway narrow-gauge through route from Buffalo to Philadelphia, via the Erie and Lehigh Valley roads, was duly inaugu rated to-day by a complimentary excursion extended to the representatives of the dif ferent railroads, and the press of the differ ent cities, with their ladies. The train con sisted of five drawing-room cars, one smok ing car and one commissary car. One of the Lehigh Valley Company’s cars, which left here at 7 a. m., will arrive at Philadel phia at 9 o’clock this evening. THE GROSVENOK MISSION.

Montreal, June 6.—The Metropolitan Bank of Montreal iB in a difficulty. It is proposed to reduce tbe stock and amalga mate the concern with some other bank. MIDDLE FLORIDA. I la Soil, Climate and Prodactioaa. Off Duty.—Bailey, of the Danbury News, relates this: Colonel B was standing in the square at Bethel, tbe other day, when he spied a farmer who some weeks ago had sold him a load of very “crooked” hay. The party in ques tion is an active professor of religion and a most zealons worker for his own pock et. The man’s profession and practice being in such marked contrast, caused the Colonel to eye him with a dislike. When he came up the Colonel charged him with deception in the matter of the hay. The skinflint stoutly denied the charge. The Colonel drew himself up to full height and disdainfully observed: “I am a soldier, sir—not a liar!” “So am I a soldier,” whined the pro moter of “crooked” hay. “You ?” ejaculated the Colonel, in a tone of disgust. “What kind of a sol dier are you ?” “I’m a soldier of the Cross.” said the skinflint, with a detestable flourish of the hand. “That may be,” said tbe Colonel, dryly, “but you’ve been on a furlough ever since I knew yon.” Editor Morning News : Much has been said, from time to time, about Florida, and although thousands of tourists have visited that State, they have, with but few exceptions, sought the St John’s country as the great at tractive point, giving but little atten tion to any portion of the interior. Having resided in Florida from 1829 to 1869, I purpose giving you and the readers of your valuable paper the benefit of part of my experience and observation daring that time. I had every opportunity of seeing the territory from the Perdida to the Atlantic, also the many changes during that period. When I first emigrated to that territory it was sparsely populated, and the settle ments generally small, but a more lovely country could not be found on the con unent of North Amerioa. Peace and good will reigned throughout the land. Surrounding Tallahassee, the capital of the then territory, the forests were beau tifully wooded, but open and free from under brush, the whole country covered with indigo and wild oats, and where the deer might be seen fora half mile bound ing over the hills in their sportive gambo- lings, for they were numerous, and seemed not to fear any danger even from the red men, who then made their hunt ing grounds in that locality, and often bartering the game taken for powder and lead, receiving ten cents worth of either for a saddle of venison or the largest wild turkey. Then, in roaming through those lovely forests, with the beauti ful evergreen, the laurel, magnolia and live oak, with the mild and genial climate, yon could but feel that it was perpetual spring. Often, when a boy, have I roamed through those forests for weeks at a time, with the noble red man, the best and truest friends I ever had, and never felt greater security, even under my father’s roof. Alas! the poor Indian. How they have been made to suffer, aud by those who call themselves Christians. Prom my observations in traveling through the State, I should pronounce Middle Florida the most desirable, from the fact that the lands are much more fertile than any other portion of the State. There are eight counties in Middle Florida, which is embraced between the Apalachicola and Suwannee rivers, and contain a less per centage of waste lands than any other counties in the State. In Gadsden, Leon Jefferson and Madison tbe lands are principally oak, hickory and hammock, with stiff red clay subsoil, and very pro ductive. The other four counties are Liberty, Wakulla, Taylor aud Lafayette, and mostly pine lands, but well timbered, and the timber of superior quality, ana the most of the lands fine lor cultiva tion. There are some oak, hickory, and hammock lands in Wakulla county, and in many places large deposits of shell marl and (I think) quantities of phos phates along the banks of different streams leading into the Gulf. The soil of Wakulla, as a general thing, is sandy, but very productive. I have known fifty acres of pine land to yield in one season fifty bales cotton, averaging four hundred and fifty pounds, and that without the aid of any fertilizer. There are some pine lands in that county with a good clay founda tion, and in maDy places a strata of stone marl. Those lands are more durable than the oak, hickory, and hammocks. There are many streams passing through this county, and emptying into the gulf with much good land along their banks of an alluvial deposit, and sufficiently high and dry for cultivation, and which will produce anything like corn, cotton, cane, rice, potatoes and tobacco, equal to any land in tbe State. I look upon this county as one of the very best in the State from the fact there are but few negroes, and consequently a man may raise hogs, cattle, sheep and horses,;without interruption; neither dots he require locks to his barns or stables, and when the weather is warm he may spread wide his doors and win dows and rest without the least fear of molestation day or night. Fish are abundant in all the streams, and but little trouble in taking them. Deer and other game in abundance, and no country can boast of more honey than ib to be found in that section. This country is bounded on the south by the bay of Apalachee, which abounds with fish and oysters. I must confess that I am at a loss for words to fully express all the advantages of this particular section of country. Besides the usual products of the country we have the peach, pear, fig, orange, lemon, lime, pecan, olive aud banana. have seen peaches grown here equal to any in New Jersey, which is noted for its fine fruit. The culture of all these fruits require proper attention, the trees shoull be protected in winter, as they are along the coast of Louisiana. With a hoe the dirt is drawn from the lateral roots, leaving them ex posed during the winter months, which retards the free circulation of the blood or sap during the warm days in winter, and also prevents the premature bloom ing of fruit trees, insuring always a good crop of fruit every year. Then, as the warm weather approaches, a little com post should be placed around the roots and the dirt thrown back, which will give new life and vigor to the tree and always keep it in a healthy condition. This method of protecting your fruit trees prevents the worms or other insects from depredating or injuring them in any way, for they generally attack the tree at its base or root, but when the base of the tree is left exposed the cold will destroy the inseot. I have seen trees thus protected incased in ice for several days, and yet not seriously affected by cold, as there was but little sap in the stem or tree. There is no country in the world where the mulberry can be more readily grown than Florida, and as fine silk can be raised as in any part of Italy. Some years since the young worms on my plantation were fed npon the native mulberry taken from the forest, and with but little attention tenpoundsof silk was manufactured into sewing silk and by old merchants said to compare favorably with the best Italian silk. Some may say that the climate is too damp, but my experience shows to the contrary, and, had I the means of carrying on the business, would do so in preference to the raising of cotton or any other crop. By artificial means the eggs could be hatched and the worms kept at work until the mulberry should shed their leaves. I could say much abont West and East Florida, bnt fear yon may think my com munication already too long. More anon. Essex. A Game of Fly-Loo. The game of fly-loo is said to be the only one in vogue among clergymen's daughters in England. It is a round game, and may be played by any number of persons. The players sit about the table from which they have feasted, and, each one selecting a piece of sugar, places it before his plate. All watch and wait for victory, which is decided by the alighting of flies upon the sugar, the player upon whose sugar the firet fly set tles being the winner. It is not allow able for any player to drive a fly away from a rival's sugar, or to mske threaten ing motions to frighten a fly when circling about in close proximity to it; but dis paraging remarks as to the motives of such an insect may be indulged in, and the superiority of your own sugar may be held out as an inducement to coloni zation. The most interesting game at fly-loo that ever took place is that which has been in progress between Messrs. Blaine, Bristow, Conkling and Morton. The size of the stakes, the number of specta tors, aud the fact that there is only ot e fly hovering over the respective pieces of sugar, make the contest a very peculiar one. The insect is a large blue-bottle June-fly, sneh as commonly haunts the river flats at Cincinnati, and the eccen* tricities of its conduct make itdiffijnlt to predict with certainty the final re salt of the game. Mr. Morton spread out to attract it some very dark brown Louisiana sngar, and it showed a very strong disposition to accept the lure. Mr. Conkling set before him a very fine lump of double refined New York sngar, and the fly no sooner caught sight of this than it deserted Morton’s bait, and seemed inclined to choose the daintier morsel. Next, tbe strong scent of some corn whisky which the judicious Bristow had sprinkled over his piece of sugar at traded the fickle blue bottle, and it buz zed away towards Kentucky’s favorite son, when the boisterous conduct of some of the on-lookers and the overpowering smell of the liquor drove it off. It theu sailed cautiously artmnd Mr. Blaine’s sugar, which, consisting of New England maple and unrefined Louisiana, was very artistically arranged to fasten the attention and incite the greed of the fly. Mori- than once the other players, in their anxiety, broke through the rules of the game. Conkling sneezed and shook his ambrosial curls; the startled insects rose in the air but returned in an instaLt; Morton shifted his crutoh noisily, anu the blue-botted sailed away from the table altogether, and there were serious doubts as to whether it would come back: but it drew near once more, and it was thought that it would have alighted had not Bristow, seized with a sudden spasm, kicked the whole table violently, where upon again the fly deserted Blaine’s sweet mixture, took a circle around the room, lit on the ceiling, promenaded for a while with i's head downward, and seemed to have determined not to go back to the table or the temptations of the lamps of sugar at all. The game sters were in despair, but the fly could not forget the sweet smell of Blaine’s bait, and buzzed down once more. For a moment the Maine man’s victory seemed assured, but a bystander named Mulligan pushed suddenly against the table ami toppled it over. In the general eonfu - sion it looks as if Mr. Blaine’s sugar hail fallen into a wet spot on the floor and been dissolved, and there are rumors that although every effort is being made to re arrange the game, the fly was seen escap ing out of the window, and it will be ut terly useless to await its return. WV think it will undoubtedly come back, a it has already proved itself to be a very- greedy fly.—N. Y. World. Two Other Vessels Pass Through the Jetties.—Port Eads, Mag 31.—The Morgan steamer Brashear, Capt. Thomas Forbes, bound for New York, went out through the jetties this morning at 11:45, drawing thirteen or fourteen feet. This is the pioneer of the Morgan lines through the jetties. We learn that all the steam ers of Charles Morgan’s lines will hence forth use the jetties instead of the South west Pass. The excitement of our little village had scarcely died away after wel coming this new patron of the jetties, when word came that another steamer was coming down the pass. This proved to be the Spanish steamer Rita, bound for Liverpool, drawing sixteen feet two inches, in charge of Mr. Charles Reed, river pilot. At Port Eads she stopped a few moments for the famous jetty pilot, Captain Franois, who immediately took charge of the ship, and in abont ten minutes afterwards she was steering through the de ;p waters of the Gulf, less than eight horrs after leaving New Or leans. Captain Gartiez, her master, was delighted with this mate, and declares that he is done with the Southwest Pass. —New Orleans Bulletin. Suburban Boston in Early Summer The bobolinks are in tbe gardens and meadows. For reasons best known to themselves they appeared two weeks be hind time this year, but we dare say it may have been to pack a few more rat tliDg tunes in their incessant music boxes With their song jingling through the clear air and making the sunshine itsilf melodious, the grass seems to wear a fresh lustre in its lovely livery, the apple bios soms to look more ruddy on the bouquet holding boughs, the dandelions and but ter-cups to turn a brighter yellow in the grass, and all the early surnrmr sights and sounds to take on a gay youthfulness that will warm the blood in the eldest veins. To come right to it, the suburbs are at this precise time in the full glory of their charms. Tie- weather has carefully preserved just da-li enough of the saltish influence to keep down impulsive fits of growth in vege tation, and to whet the desire for summer until it is now worked up to about the right pitch for the relish of an exquisite enjoyment. The sentiment of the pass ing season cannot be caught in any mesh of words, however artfully it may be woven. Whoever drives, walks or saun ters in the environs of Boston now i3 sensible of a delight that he is quite content to leave unhandled in the Jap of simple consciousness. There is a time to cease from exclama tory gabble, and with these fragrant sum mer airs fanning the brow it is happiness to be still. Every turn of the eye sets a fresh picture in a frame. One gets parks and paradises all mixed np in riding through the districts of lawns and leaves that belt Boston as no other city on the continent is circnm9cribed. Those who enjoy Nature chiefly through the auctioneer’s advertisements of coun try estates have yet to learn what it is to know personally the birds and the bees, the hum and ripple, the glory and green ery of the outside world in days like these. Simply to live now is happiness.— Boston Post. A TRIPLE TRAGEDY. A Mu Shoot. Hi. Wife oi Then Hlonolf. Child It’s a Boy. One evening recently the friends of a married couple up in Chillicothe deter mined to give them a surprise party. To this end, twelve couple of young ladi> s and gentlemen, with well filled baskets, made their appearance before tbe house abont nine o’clock. As they came up to the door they saw the gentleman stand ing in the alleyway with his overcoat on, smoking a cigar, and the parlor was ell lighted up. This struck them as rather singular, but the leader grabbed the door knob, and they rushed hilariously in. The gas was burning brightly, aud six digni fied old ladies were sitting aronnd the stove, looking as solemn as grand inquisi tors. “Oh, my! where’s Mattie?” shouted one exhuberant young lady, setting her basket on the piano.” “She's up stairs,” said an old lady, looking over her spectacles with solemn acrimony. “Let’s have her down,” screamed half a dozen girls in chorus, as they made a break for the hall. “Here, girls, girls, don’t go up there!” and the old ladies made a hasty attempt to check the proposed raid. “Why, what on earth’s the matter here, anyhow ?” inquired the impatient darlings. “Well, I believe it’s a boy.” “Oh, let’s go!” And that company of nice young men and women moved away like a soap bab ble in a hurricane, and the girls never stopped for beaux or baskets, but staffed tbeir handkerchiefs in their months to hold their breath down until they were safe behind their own doors, and not a girl in the Fourth Ward knows where Mattie lives. Attempted Outbade in Washington. —A most atrocious attempt at rape was made on Friday morning at 2:30 by an ngly negro named Theodore Watkins, npon a highly respectable white lady residing on Lafayette square, Washington city. The brute entered the honse through the cellar window to the lady’s room, and attempted his fiendish pur pose, bnt waa prevented by the timely wakening of the lady, who handled tbe negro in such a manner that he was forced to retire without accomplishing his intention. Watkins has been arrested and fully identified. It is stated that the Prince of Wales has kept within the sum voted by Parlia ment for his Indian trip. The people of Belleville were aroused to e high degree of excitement yesterday between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, by the report that a man, women end a little girl, about two or three years old, had been found dead in a secluded spot on a piece of woodland adjoining the 8t. Clair county farm, owned by C. Bertelsmann. The dead bodies were dis covered by a party of miners employed in that neishborhood, who took a short out through the woods to an adjoining pit, which they discovered at than time to have been on fire. The bodies were guarded throughout the afternoon by three or four men, and were lying in precisely the same position as when found—the mother with her heal to the north, with her dress somewhat extended on the ground, on which lay the lifeless body of her little daughter by her side. The hats worn by the two were pulled down over the front part of the face, while over both a black shawl had been carefully spread by the husband and father, as is supposed. In each instance the arms and hands were disposed of as in cases of ordinary death. The face and hands of the mother were besmeared with thick, clotted blood, while the face of the child did not appear to be disfigured in the least, but bore a sweet smile, natural and life-like. The man, who is supposed to be the husband and father, was found about 10 or 12 feet distaut from the other two bodies, at the foot of a small tree, against which, it is supposed, he braced himself before firing the fatal shot which ter minated his own life. The precise time at which this whole sale slaughter took place cannot be de finitely ascertained. The occupants of a farm living near by heard two distinct reports from the discharge of firearms in rapid succession, a little before sundown on Thursday evening, and a third a few minutes later, which was probably the time when tbe sad affair was being en acted. Who the parties were, or whence they came, has not been ascertained, but these facts probably will be developed when the Coroner of St. Clair county summons a jury of inquest. The woman is supposed to be about 28 to 30 years of age, of German birth, wore a dark colored dress and cloth shoes. The husband, it is thought, was of French descent, about 35 to 40 years of age. He was dressed in dark clothes, black bat considerably worn, and a dark colored cheviot shirt. He was shot in the breast, as was evidenced by the front part of his shirt having been badly powder burned. His body was in a reclining position with a revolver lying close by his side. The woman was shot in the right temple and the child in the right side of its bead. In the absence of any authentic information upon the subject, the prevailing opinion appears to be that the man first killed his wi;e and child and then closed the bloody trag.-dy by killing himself.—St. Louis Re publican. Blaine’s Indebtedness to Jay Cooke. Tbe Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald writes that the Aquilla Adams revelations recall Mr. Blaine’s in debtedness to Jay Cooke, tbe banker head of the Northern Pacifio scheme. When the assets of the bankrupt firm of Jay Cooke <fc Co. were published there appeared among them a debt of Mr. Blaine of over $40,000 secured by mortgage on tbe house No. 821 Fifteenth street, in which he then lived, and which he still occu pies. The face of the mortgage was $33,333 33, aud to secure this Mr. Blaine gave three notes of $11,111 11 each, to run respectively two, four and six years, at six per cent. At the time of the fail ure no interest had been paid, and it had accrued to the amount of over six thousand dollars. The amount of the sum seemed to indicate that it was one- third part of some larger transaction. When the Cookes lent this money to Blaine at six per cent., they were paying five per cent, on deposits on call. The house itself was not worth more than $25,000, it being in the centre of a block, and rather cheaply built. A transaction so remarkably favorable to Mr. Blaine naturally attracted some attention ; bnt there were few who dwelt upon tbe seem ingly uncharitable inference tbat Mr. Blaine was receiving money from those bankers under cover of a mortgage, in return for his influence on the floor of the House of Representatives. That is the interpretation, however, which has been put upon the matter by many persons, in view of the Adams revelation. ilatlroiuls.
