something like a transparent worm, a little
less in siz- than an ordinary pin Tbe gentle
man in charge of the business stated to our re
porter yesterday that the fish just put in the
water will remain in this locality for about one
month, they will then strike out down stream,
seeking salt water. They will remain in the
salt water until they ars three years of
age, when they will go bark up the stream
which they descended, for the purpose
of spawning. Several hundred thousand small
shad were placed in our rivers about six years
ago by the government, and for the past three
t ears quite a large number have been caught
from the Etowah in traps. Mr. Quinn stated
yes’erday that when a river is once stocked
the government will not furni-h any more fish
for that stream. This rule, he said, was broken
in our favor at the earneafe and efficient en
deavors of the Congressman from this district,
who was exceedingly anxious to know that
the Coosa, Etowah and Oostanaula would soon
be swarming with fine white shad.”
The Financiul and Commercial
Sitnation.
-Vetc York Eveninq Pott.
The export of 14,500,000 of gold during
the past week, being the largest outward
movement in any one week for the past
year, and making an aggregate of about
#*23,000.000 of gold (exclusive of silver ex
ported) since the first of January, naturally
suggests the inquiry as to how long such an
export movement can be maintained with
out depleting the total coin circulation of
the country below what It was at the begin
ning of the year.
The moat important source of supply is of
course the product of the mines and its
coinage at the mint. From the lait report
of the Director of the Mint we flad that the
product of gold from the mines in the year
ending June 30, 1831, was #36,000.000, and
of silver #39,000.000; that the total deposits
at the mint in the same year were #35,815,-
035 or gold of domestic production and #28,-
477,057 of silver of domestic proluction.
The total coinage of the mint in the ssme
year was #78,733 864 of gold and #27,649,-
966 of silver.
The coinage of gold that year was more
than double the production of gold during
the same time, and the excess represents
tbe coinage of forelgo|bu)lfon (coin) and of
domestic bullion produced previous to that
year.
The total coin circulation of the country
June 30, 1880, as estimated by tbe Director
of the Minr, was# 501,555.711, of whicn #142,-
597,020 was silver; and on November 1. 1881,
D was #611,236,519, of which #171,459,766
was silver. This increase of $148,008,140 in
the fifteen months ending wltn November 1,
1881, Included $10,613,393 of net imports of
specie during that time. The net increase
from coinage (exclusive of recolnage),
therefore, was $137,391,747, or at the
average monthlv rate of sav $7,300,000
of gold and $2,000,000 of silver. This
estima’e of the Director of the Mint
was mad ' after deducting $3,300,000 of gold
coin cousumed in tbe arts during the fifteeu
months, and was also exclusive of recotnage.
Notwithstanding the cessa ion of imports
of foreign gold, it Is presumable that the
current produedon of the mines, together
with the stock of bullion already on band,
would be sufficient to continue tne coinage
of the mint at the average rate of, sy, $7,
000,000 of gold per month from November
1 to the present time.
Another source of supply consists In the
amounts brought In by immigrants. In
quiry of the officials at Castle Carden shows
that their estimate of the amount of money
brought in by Immigrants is from eighty
five to ninety five dollars per capita. But a
large part ot this Is in drafts, Bank of Eng
land notes, and greenbacks, and the same
officials estimate about forty to forty five
dollars per capita as the average amount of
specie brought in, and of which It is fair to
presume that at least seventy-five per cent,
is gold. The number of immigrants arrived
in April was 104,274, or say 400,000 since
January 1, whicn would make, sav, $12,-
000,030 of gold imported in that way.
\Ve have had, therefore, from these two
sources of supply an addition of about $lO,
000 000 of gold to the coin circulation of the
country since tbe beginning of the year. If
these premises are approximately correct,
the total coin circulation of the country is
now from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 greater
than on tbe first of January, notwithstand
ing the exportations. They also show that
we should be able to maintain an average
export of $15,000,000 pr month for three
months before the stock of specie In tbe
coun’ry would be less than It was on the
first of January.
It is not presumable that there will be any
such export of specie. Within a month the
new crop of winter wheat will begin to be
available for export, aud even already some
bills are being drawn against It —though it
is not to be expected that Europe will take
much of It at present prices. The negotia
tion In Europe of. at least one $5,000,000
loan for an American railway during the pjst
week, together with the appearance of some
borrowed bills In the exchange market and
au increasing disposition in London to in
vest in American securities, all operate in
the direction of checking the export of
specie. On the other hand, the general
conditions of the export trade are in favor
of its continuance to some extent until the
•new crops become actually available for
export. The stock of all kinds of grain In
this country is less than two-thirds what it
was at tJis time last year, and only about
one-half what it was at this time two years
ago. It is also generally believed that the
stocks of cattle and hogs vet to come for
ward are very much smaller than usual
at this season of the year. These
facts Indicate the maintenance of
comparatively high prices until the
actual supply in the market is In
creased from new crops and stocks of cattle
—prices which will operate against a com
plete revival of exports of breadstuffs and
provisions for some months. For tbe laet
six weeks the acknowledged shortage in
last year’s cotton crop has not been a fac'or
in the export trade, because the exports of
cotton during that time have been fully
iqtal to what they were during the same
period of last year. ’ The full effect of this
shortage, therefore, remains to be experi
enced yet, both on the exports of cotton and
on the price.
Tne general trade of the coun’ry is dull.
The cold weather, which has been favorable
for the winter wh-at crop, has diminished
the demand for all classes of spring goods.
The Iron trade espec slly Is dull from vari
ous other causes, prominent among which
is the smaller demand than las’ tear for
railroad bars for new lines. The most
favorable features In the whole situation are
the flittering prospects for good grain crops
and a presumed increase la the product of
precious metals during the past few months.
Money also continues very abundant, botb
here and In Europe, aud it is apparent that
foreign capital is only awaiting a little
greater certainty about crops to take hold
ot American enterprises to a larger extent
than ever.

and tbe Foreign Adairs Commit
tee.
Washington, May 24.—1n the House, the
request of the Senate for the return of the
5 per cent, land bill was acceded to.
Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, rising to a ques
tion of personal privileges, sent to the
Clerk’s desk and had read that portion of a
letter, written by Mr. Hewitt, cf New York,
to Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, which
charges that the Committee on Elections
refused to Investigate the charges of for
gery preferred before that committee.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, contended
that the letter failed to show that the gen
tleman from Indiana (Mr. Calkins) had
been alluded to in any reia lon.
The Speaker ruled that the matter did
present a question of privilege.
Mr. Calkins then stated as long as the
charges against the committee were confined
to newspapers, he had not noticed them,
but when they were made by a member of
Congress, It was a reflection on every mem
ber of the committee. Probably it was not
so intended by the gentleman (Hewitt), but
nevertheless it was a reflection which
ought to be refuted at once. The
Committee on Elections had never failed
to inquire into the truth of any charge
made before it.
A long and noisy discussion then arose as
to the action of the committee, Mr. Ather
ton, of Ohio, claiming that it had refu s ed
to investigate the charges of forgery, an I
Mr. Calkins denying that statement. Both
these gentlemen were frank In their state
ments, and proceeded in perfect calmness
and good temper, but the greater number
of members on both sides were ex
cited, and the interpolations in the
debate caused such confusion that It was
next to impossible to understand the points
made by tbe principal debaters. The House
was unusually full, and nearly all the mem
bers were on their feet, many of them speak
lng at once. The confusion increased as the
time passed, and at 12 o’clock the House
was in an uproar, which only abated when
Mr. Calkins demanded of his friends that in
a spirit of fairness Mr. Atherton should be
allowed to take the floor.
Mr R'agan, of Texas, objected.
Then Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, arose
to a question of privilege, but his opening
remirk falling to present such a question,
ot j- c ion was made to his proceeding.
Mr. Hewitt, of New York, then took the
fl or with another question of privilege.
He disclaimed any intention of making an
unjust charge against a member of the
Committee on Elections, and stated that in
writing the letter, which had given rise to
the debate, he had based its declarations
on 'he minority report, the petition of Mr.
Dibble and assertions of the Democratic
members of the committee. As one of the
foundations for his letter, he wished to have
read the allilavit of C. Smith, a United
States Supervisor of Elections. Objection
was made, but the Speaker ruled that the
alii Javit might be read. It simply charges
Interlineations, erasures and omissions In
the testimony taken in the contest between
Mackey and O’Connor.
Mr. Hewitt continuing, submitted that
that was a sulflcient basis for the very mod
erate statements which he made In his
letter. He asserted that the whole matter
should be recommitted and the charge of
forgery Investigated. If that were done, he
would be no party to any filibustering opera
tions to keep any man from a seat, even
though he thought he was not entitled io It.
But so long as the trush was not admitted
in evidence, he was sure the people would
sustain the Democratic party in res'stlng to
the last extremity any effort to strike at the
rich’ to free repre s entatlon. [ ipplsuse on
the Dermeratic side ]
Mr. Calkins then revlewe 1 briefly tbe evi
dence In the case, and read affidavits In ex
planation and denial of that filed by C.
Smith, and the presentation of the facts In
which the mJorit? of the committee relied,
and elicited several rounds of applause from
hispr!y friends. In conclus'on, he said:-
“U Is said that the Democratic party Is jus
tified in its filibustering, because
some of the testimony is questioned.
If the Democratic party can stand
on such a footing, we can afford
to stand great constitutional rlgnt—
which for ninety-three years has never be
fore been questioned—determining by a
majority vote of tfiis House who Is elected
to a sea’ tn this chamber.” The matter was
then dropped, and Mr. Calkins called up the
contested election case of Mackey vs.
O’Connor.
Filibustering again began, the votes on
dilatory motions and to adjourn showing
three lees than a quorum, except on the
motions to adjourn, which was voted down.
During the roll call on a dilatory motion,
Mr. Walker, of Pennsylvania, who was
seated In tbe rear of the members’ seats fell
in a fainting fit and was laid upon a sofa.
Mr. Walker soon recovered power suffi
cienriy to vote.
Matters then remained In statu quo for
about an hour and a half.
The Sargeant-at-Arms was not dispatched
for absent members, and those present
killed time as well as they were able In con
versation and readlEg until five o’clock,
when Mr. Calkins, of Indtana, stating that
he would call up the election case to
morrow, and advising members to bring
five days’ rations with them, moved to ad
journ.
The motion was agreed to, and the House,
at five o’clock, adjourned until to-morrow.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

ably from the Military Committee,and asked
immediate considera’ion of tbe House joint
resolution appropriating sl6 000,000 to sup

He explained that the deficit had
arisen In consequence of the Increased
clerical force having facilitated the
work of the department beyond the amount
estimated In the original #50,000,000 esti
mate for the year. Passed.
Under an otder of the calendar, the Sen

Little Rock, May 24.—General Mangum,
State Agent for disbursing supplies on the
Arkansas side of the Mississippi river during
the late overflow, writes Governor Churchill
that the second overflow Is nearly as disas

fourth of the tillable bottom land In Phil
lips county Is now under water, with
no prosoect of being out before the last of
June. His Information Is that Desha is In
about tbs same condition, also a portion of
Lee, Monroe, Crittenden and Cass. The
suffering among the laborers In these coun
ties will be greater than ever known. They
are nearly all destitute negroes, with no
means of obtaining the necessities of life.
No merchant or planter will advance for
them, as all hopes of crops are gone. They
are willing to work, but there Is no work
for them, as the planters not affected by
the water have all the labor they want.
General Mangum concludes : “If the Gen
eral Government will rebutld the levees at
once the negroes can get work on them so
they can support themselves and families.
If tbe government does not feed them until
they can get work 1 fear many will starve.
The condition of the people In the district
now under water Is alarming. I do not
know what can be done except through the
General Government. Intercede for them
and do what you can with the General Gov
ernment.”
THE CZiR AND THE JEWS.
New Regulations for tbe Fersecuted
Race—Tbe Hebrew* to be Fro
tected at Laet.
Bt. Petersburg, May 24.— The Official
Messenger publishes the regulations agreed
upon by the committee of Ministers and ap
proved by the Emperor on the 15th Instant.
They provide that the Jews shall henceforth
be prohibited from settling outside of towns
and villages, except where Jewish settli
raents already exist. The Jews are pro
hibited from trading on Sundays and Cnrls
tian holidays. These regulations only apply
to governments whe r e Jews are permunenily
settled. All contracts of purchase ano
tenancy with the Jews are provisionally
suspended.
The Official Messenger to-day announces
that by order of the Emperor the govern
ment Is firmly resolved to punish inexorably
all cu rages against the persons and pro
perty of the Jews, seeing that the latter are
under the protection of laws which are
effectual and binding upon all the subjects
of the fair, Governors and others. The
authorities are, therefore, commanded on
their personal responsibility to take timely
measures to prevent or suppress outrages on
the Jews. Any remissions will entail dis
missal from office.

A Big Crowd Looked for To-
Day.
Brunswick, Ga., May 24.— The fifth an

livered by the Hon. Ira E. Smith, who
dwelt on the importance of developing the
agricultural resources of the county, and
contrasted the present fine display with that
of the first fair.
The exhlbtts in vegetables are very good,
and the display of agricultural prodoc s
general y satisfactory. The ladies’depart
ment presents unusual attractions.

BRITAIN’S REALM.
THE DEBATE ON THE FORCE
BILL.
Mr, Gladstone Again in a Temper—
Division* Among Irish Leader*
Ihe “Time*” Somewhat Sarcastic
Davit to Keep Quiet la Ireland—
Beatrice not Betrothed.
London, May 24—A1l pa pars comment
upon the significant dlvurgence among the
Irish members in the division last evening
In the House of Commons on Mr. Glad
stone’s motion that repressions and arrears
of rent bills have precedence over other
business. Besides Messrs. O’Don
nell and Arthur O’Connor, those
who, refusing to follow Mr. Pirnell,
Including Messrs. Thomas Power, O’Con
nor, Redmond, Finnegan, Richard Power,
Sexton, McCarthy, Biggar, O’Sullivan,
Moore, Healy, Sullivan, Leamy, Callan and
Shiel, the following abstained with Mr.
Parnell from voting on the division: Messrs.
O’Kelly, CummiDS, Synan, Malian, and
Wanan.
The Truth says that the; rumor of an
engagement between the Princess Beatrice
and the eldest son of the Landgrave of
Hesse is not true.
Davitt has visited Brennan In Kilkenny
prison. He stated that he intends while In
Ireland to avoid public demonstration or
speaking so as not to give the government an
excuse for stopolrg remedial legislation.
He returned to Dublin last evening.
The Parnelllte members of Parliament
state that the repression bill cinnot pass the
House of Commons before July. There are
nearly twenty amendments prepared against
it.
The Times, dlfcussing the correspondence
between Mr. Lowell and Secrttary Freling
huysen In regard to suspects, says: “We
bear a great deal of the protests cf the
Washington Cabinet, with the fear of the
Irish vote before their eyes,against our find
ing it necessary to Imprison American sus
pects, but we hear very little of steps taken
by them against the assassination press.”
In the House of Commons to-day, the
denatce on the repression bill was resumed.
Mr. Gladstone severely denounced Mr.
Dtlion for Indorsing outrages by refusing to
assist the government In carrying the bill.
Mr. Dillon declared that he had always
denounced outrages.
Mr. Gladstone replied that Inciters to Ille
galities were responsible for the conee-.
quences.
Mr. Dillon affirmed that Mr. Gladstone
had declared that boycotting was legal.
Mr. Gladstone spoke with great passion.
He said the Irish must confine themselves
to agitating for charges In the land law or
whatever they may desbe by means respect
ing the private judgment or liberty of the
people. In regard to the objection of the
Irish Judges to the suppression of jury trials,
he declared that, if Parliament
were to allow the Judges to Interfere In the
framing of the bill, they would abandon
one of the most important functions of the
government. He said he thought the in
stitution of special tribunals necessaiy, but
that tbe question could be discussed in
committee. No good could come of pro
longed discussion unless It was the Inten
tion of some m‘'m s ers to exasperate ani
mosity between England and Ireland. He
beseeched tho House not to obstruct the
bill.
The debate was adj turned.
SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS.

Atlanta, M*y 24.—1n the Southern Pres
byterian Aisembly to-day, the Committee
on Bills and Overtures made a report. Tbe
question of the relation of colored ministers

decided. The assembly sent a telegram
In relation to fraternal relations to
the Northern Assembly at Bprlngfleld, 111.
In answer to the overtures from the
Pre*byter!es, the following paper was
adopted almost unanimously: “la order to

From a Staff Correspondent.
Brunswick, April 24.—The city is in a tumult
of excitement consequent upon the opening of
the fair this morning, and in an hour or so
there will be a general movement towards the
grounds, as the formal opening takes place at
9 o'clock, but desirous that this shall go by to
day’s mail, I will be unable to give a descrip
tion of the ceremonies until my next.
COURT APJOURNED.
Judge Tompkins dispatched business yester
day rapidly, and with promptness and decision
that met the unqualified approbation of the
members of the bar, judging from the com
mendatory remarks made by the legal limbs. A
large number of civil cases were dismissed,
marked, settled or otherwise disposed of. The
most important of these cases was
that of D. Davidson vs. The Royal In
surance Company of Liverpool. The facts
briefly are these: In 1879 Davidson, who was a
merchant, was the victim of a Are, his store
and stock, insured in the Royal Insurance Com
pany of Liverpool, being completely destroyed.
His claim for insurance was resisted on the
discovery by the company that the building
was erected on leased ground, and that the
lease was about to expire, and because the fact
of the lease whs not mentioned in the policy,
payment of the claim was refused. This tech
nicality did not avail, however, and on trial in
this court Mr. Davidson obtained a ver
dict in his favor. The company were not
satisfied, and determined to fight the
case, and a motion for anew
trial was made. The law’s delays are fully ex
emplified in the statement that although nearly
three years have elapsed nothing final has
been reached, and yesterday the announce
ment was made by counsel for tbe defendant
that the papers in the cake could not be found,
and Judge Tompkins granted an order requir
ing the plaintiff to file the papers at. this term,
and hearing to take place before Judge Sim
mons in Macon (Judze Mershon being disquali
fied) within thirty days thereafter, in default
of which the motion for new trial would be
dismissed, and the judgment stand. Mean
while Mr. Davidson is minus his insurance
money and has the satisfac'ion (?) of knowing
if he finally gets it that a nics slice will have to
be cut off for legal expenses. Court was ad
journed in the afternoon until Monday next,
when Judge Mershon will be here to preside,
and close up the business of the term. Judge
Tompkins and wife left in the evening on the
steamer David Clark for Darien, where he
will hold court tne remainder of the week,
there being considerable business to be dis
posed of.
A HISTORICAL ROAD,
The rosd from this city to Hammersmith’s
landing, on tbe Altimaha river, where the
boat connects with Darien, is something over
twelve miles in length, and is the model road
of this section. I learn that it is the first road
graded for a railroad in the State of Georgia,
and was designed to connect this citv with
the river for the purpose of developing
especially the timber regions along the Alta
malia. It was built by the Htate, under John
Morgan, overseer, whose widow (his second
wife), an aged lady, is a resident of Brunswick.
The negroes who worked the road were owned
by the State. The work was thoroughly done,
and the road graded from the city to the river
landing, but from some cause nothing further
whs done, and the State’s hands were after
wards sold to private parties The railroad
scheme was abandoned, and subsequently, io
1831 or 1835, a company was organized for the
construction of a canal between Brunswick
and the Altamaha, and this wort was
vigorously pushed to completion, but its fate
was that of the r&ilsoad, and it was never
utilized. Now there is objection to opening
the canal, as it is feared the introduction of
fresh water into the Brunswick river would
render it brackish, and be prejudicial to
health. The railroad scheme, however, has left
the people of the county with a magnificent
road to the river, through a picturesque and
beautiful country.
THE FIRST BRICK BUILDINGS.
Brunswick has just begun the first brick
buildings, usiDg brick manufactured at Macon.
One of these is to be a store corner of New
castle and G'oster streets, to be erected by
Moore & Macreary. Work has already been
commenced, and the completion of the build
ing is anticipated with some interest. The
other brick edifice is to be a Catholic Church
for St. Francis Xavier Parish, and the founda
tion of which is already laid.
In consequence of the death of
the presiding priest and the lack of
funds, this work has been temporarily
stopped. The question now is which will be
finished first and have the distinction of being
the first brick building ever erected in Bruns
wick. It seems that the chances are in favor of
the store.
THE FAIR RACES.
The prospects are that the running and trot
ting races at the fair will be the great feature
of th© exhibition, aft the neighboring counties
have made some entries. Yesterday afternoon
Mr. D-an Wing, a resident of Darien, arrived
here with a horse which is said to possess re
markable qualities. The snimal is “A Georgia
Cracker,” raised in Tattnall coanty, and her
pedigre- is unknown. Yet. in several previous
races, she exhibited woaderful speed, and car
ried off all the prizes. Horsemen here con
sider her a phenomenon, and wager that under
training she would make a record at the North.
AN UNPLEASANT TRANSFORMATION.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. F. Penniman,
agent of the Savannah and Florida steamers,
Messrs. John M Tison and S. C. Littlefield
whilst standing on Bay street engaged in con
versation, were suddenly, aye. in the twinkling
of an eve, transformed from Caucaussians into
Ethiopians, and the process was decidedly un
pleasant. They were standing near a building,
the roof of which was being repaired. A
workman had a mammoth bucket of melted
coal tar in use, when accidently he disturbed its
equipoise, and ever the eaves it went,
about twenty gallons of the melted
tar falling in a shower, and com
pletely deluging the three gentlemen
named. Fortunately the bucket did not strike
either of them, and they escaped iDjury, but
their plight was fearful. However, tnere is a
cheerful side to the picture—a clothing mer
chant shortly after the accident sold three
suits of clothes.
RANDOM NOTES.
Mr. T. O’Connor, relieved of his heavy duties
as Clerk of the Court, by the adjournment,
gave me a pleasant drive through aud around
the city, and I had full opportunity to see the
progress Brunswick is making. In every direc
tion were seen new buildings, either just com
pleted or under way.
In a charming portion of the suburbs a very
comfortable looking residence was pointed out
as having been built and formerly occupied by
General Henry C. Wayne of Savannah. It is
now owned and occupied by Dr. A. B. Gale.
I had the pleasure of meeting last evening
Judge James E Lambright, who will be well
remembered in Savannah. He is a Past Grand
of Live Oak Lodge, I. O. O. F., of your citv.
and is now Secretary of Seaport Lodge, of
Brunswick.
Dr. H. Burford, formerly of Savannah, has a
large and attractive drug store here, and
although a resident not quite two years, has
established a flourishing business and is ranked
as one of the most popular young men in the
city. Rumor has it that he will shortly visit
Savannah on important business, and tnat he
will not return alone.
Mr. Vincent L. Starr, whom your city read
ers will well remember, arrived here last night.
He is connected with a large New York house,
is doing well and looking well, which will be
pleasing news to his friends in the Forest Cily.
The weather is warm, and there is sad need
of rains. The dust will be the greatest dis
comfort to thoue attending the fair.
Colonel D. T. Dunn, President of the Agricul
tural Society, is enthusiastic on the subject of
this fair, and predicts it will eclipse noy pre
vious exhibition. Many of the departments
were filled up yesterday, and applications for
additional space have been received.

is hourly becoming worse.
Constantinople, Mav 24 —Lord Dufferin
and the Marquis De Noailles, the English
and French Ambassadors respectfully, have
again assured the Porte that England and
France have no idea of any radical Inter
vention In Egypt, but are simply considering
the best mesns of ensuring order.
In reply to the protest of Turkey against
the presence of the English and French
squadrons at Alexandria, England and
France have sent identical instructions to
their Ambassadors here to inform the Porte
that the vessels will leave as soon as a dura
ble normal state of things is re-established.
This accomplished, their only wish is that
the naval demonstration shall not be ex
tended, and that the vessels shall leave at
the earliest possible moment.

Congress Must Stand to Their Guns
—Here and There.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 24.—The late arti
cle of your correspondent “Potomac” upon
the subject of “Bilk Culture,” with the statis
tics collected by the special agent of the
Census Bureau in relation thereto, is of great
interest to the people of Florida. There can
be no doubt that this industry can be rendered
very profitable in this favored climate. The
outlay is small, the labor light, and the re
turns certain and handsome 'lt is peculiarly
adapted to the weaker portion of the popula
tion—the women and children—and offers a
means by which this class can earn a com
fortable livelihood without severe labor around
their own hearthstones. To the numerous
Southern families who have never recovered
from the loss of property occasioned by the
war it would seem that such an easy opportu
nity of adding to their limited incomes would
be eagerly grasped.
In Florida all the varie ies of the mulberry
attain perfection, and grow with singular
rapidity. A twig, cut at random, and inserted
carelessly into the earth, requires no other at
tention than a supply of water for a few days,
and will soon become a vigorous shade tree.
Around Jacksonville they are planted for that
purpose merely. Here also the leaves appear
early in the spring, and are fit for the food of
the young worms in Februaiy. This is a
marked and important advantage, es it permits
several successive crons of the worms to be
raised during the same season. As you can
obtain a certain amount of pork by the use of
a fixed quantity of corn, so you can expect a
known weight of cocoons from so many pounds
of leaves. This calculation has been reduced
to a very fine point.
In addition to the steady demand for the co
coons and raw silk, it will be remunerative to
raise the eggs for transportation to Europe, as
the eggs produced in that country are not re
liable. Japan now controls this trade, and the
shipments from that remote region, via Han
Francisco, reap hundreds of thousands of dol
lars annually. This nice little item could be
left here by the exercise of a little skill and
industry.
There is full time yet for those who desire to
test the matter to try the experiment, and at
least obtain a sufficient supply of eggs for the
next season, for which they can readily obtain
a market. France purchased in 1877 <2.0,001
worth of eggs from this country.
It is said that one person can tend 40 COO
worms, and that this number will produce one
hundred and twenty-five pounds of cocoons,
worth from $1 50 to $2 50 according to quality.
Averaging these at two dollars a pound, the
handsome sum is obtained of $250 in six weeks,
as it requires that length of time for the worms
to reach maturity after being hatched. As
three crops can be made during the season, it
will be thus seen that a woman can realize $750
during the summer, an amount not attainable
from any other occupation. Bhe cannot earn
this sum as a teacher, or in a factory, or by
standing behind the counter of a store, or w tb
the needle, and it can be made within the pri
vacy of home, an inestimable advantage to the
maiority of women.
Several ladies in this State are now giving
this industry a fair trial, and their success,
which can scarcely be regarded as problemati
cal, will have the effect of inducing many next
year to imitate their example. A man in
Florida, who could make fifteen bales of cot
ton by his own labor would be considered a
pretty smart and industrious fellow. His crop
at fifty dollars per bale would briDg him just
seven hundred and fifty dollars, out of which
must be deducted various expenses. This would
just equal the silk crop of his wife, produced
almost without cost, and with inconsiderable
trouble. 4 comparison between the results
would show a very large balance in favor of
the good housewife.
From a valuable article in a recent issue of
the Louisville Courier-Journal I make the fol
lowing extracts:
“Several ladies, who represent the “Women’s
Silk Culture Association.” visited Washington
last week and exhibited the dress of American
brocade which they intend to present to Mrs
Garfield. The association is only two years old,
and is designed for a charity, or rather to fur
nish employment for women and children in
the country. If the wives and children of far
mers would interest themselves in raising silk
worms, they would find an occupation which
would diversify their employment, and break
the monotony of raisibg eggs, chickens and
butter. The association upon application
furnishes mulberry trees and gives instruction
in regard to the culture of silk. This branch
of industry in Italy is entirely carried on by
women and children, and appears to be pecu
liarly adapted to them. Now, any industry or
occupation which will keep women and chit
dren from flocking to the cities for employ
ment will prove a boon; therefore, the Ph la
delphia Association is aiixlous to establish aux
iliary branches in every Btate. This country
imports eighty-two million dollars’ worth of
silk every year, and sixteen millions of raw
silk which is used by the silk manufacturers in
this country. It would certainly be a patriotic
thing to raise our own cocoons ani distribute
the. 516,000,000 among our own countrymen.
“An element of permanence belongs also to
such movements, and the establishment of silk
factories all over the country demands that
our people should prepare themselves to pro
vide the raw material. These industries deserve
the encouragement of the State and the nation.
The cotton, wool and silk factories bring to
our shores thousands of skilled workmen, who
in turn transmit to succeeding generations
their talent and skill. The silk industry, which
I take to be the true significance of the words
silk culture, is the third great industry of the
textile class in this country, amounting to $50.-
000,000, as compared with <250,000,000 In cotton
and $300,000,000 In value in wool manufac
tures. The importation of silk goods is about
$25,000,000 in value, making, with home manu
factures, $85,000,100, the value of silk goods en
tering into consumption in this country for
one year. The industry of silk manufactures
has grown very rapidly, from very moderate
proportions ten or fifteen years ago, to $45,-
000,000 at least, according to the census of 1880.
In cotton and wool we produce the raw mate
rial of these vast industries here, but in silk
we stand in the anomalous condition of pro
ducing, as yet, nothing of consequence in this
country, and great as the demand is, we allow
our superior advantages to remain unim
proved.
We import 4,000,000 pounds of raw silk for
manufacture here, nearly 3 000,000 pounds of
reeled and 1,000,000 pounds of spun silk.
“Any one who may wish to open communica
tion with the society can do so by addressing
‘The Woman’s Silk Culture Association of the
United Btates,’ southwest corner of Juniper
and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, Pa.”
I consider the entire subject of silk culture
of such importance to the women and
children of Florida that I have given it special
and lengthy notice in this letter. I am con
vinced that a smart, active, energetic woman
in this State can realize fully as much from
this industry as can her husband or brother
from his labor in the field. Asa means of
adding greatly to ihe home comforts and inde
pendence of our Southern women, and of
enabling them to acquire a support beneath
their own roofs, I know of no feminine occu
pation that will approach this in the compara
tive lightness of the work and care required, as
well as in the certainty of rewards. It is to
be hoped that the success of those now engaged
in this culture will be of such a character as to .
attract hundreds of imitators in the future.
Another improvement about to be put into
operation, indicates the growing commercial
importance of our city. A large sectional, or
floating dock, is to be constructed this sum
mer, of sufficient dimensions to raise vessels as
large as the steamers bt. John’s and Western
Texas. This is not much in advance of our
necessities, as the improvement of the bar to
be soon effected by the jetters, now under con
struction, will bring to this port a large in
crease of shipping. Then also the completion
of the link of railroad between Chattahoochee
and Pensacola, and thence to New Orie ns,
naturally inspires the belief that a consider
able portion of the products of the Mississ:ppi
valley will”Hnd au outlet to coastwise and
EuroDean ports through Jacksonville, bo will
the wheat and wines of California, via the
Southern Pacific Railroad.
We are soon to have a grain elevator, and a
steam cotton press is next in order. The pos
sibilities of Jacksonville are very numerous
and attractive, and the faith of her people in
her manifest destiny, strong and well founded.
Quite a number of pleasant things have been
said of our city and State by our visiting
brethren of the Georgia Press Association, for
which we are cordially grateful. It should be
generally understood that Florida needs, and
is anxious to obtain, two or three hundred
thousand more of the sons and daughters of
your grand old commonwealth.
Duval will contribute several to the gang of
State convicts. Between oar vigilant police
and active State Attorney, criminals come to
grief in this countv. A capital conviction has
been obtained at this term of the court, and the
culprit, a negro, will probably swing during the
summer.
The whites of Florida are especially interest
ed in the fight in Congress over the contested
election cases, and hope that the Democrats
“will fight it out on that line if it takes all sum
mer.” It would afford us the keenest gratifi
cation to see the "vaulting ambition” of the
unscrupulous Col. Bisbee “o’erleap itself,” and
plunge into an abyss of inextricable disap
pointment. His own party, now heartily tired
of him, would not seriously object to such a
result, as he would thereby be snelved for the
future. The Democrats in the House are fully
justified in any action they may adopt in this
matter, and should be backed up by the masses
of their party.
The sale of forty building lots in one of the
suburbs of the city, a considerable distance
from the centre of business, at prices ranging
from $75 to sll3, a few dsys since, was satis
factory to the real estate men, and is regarded
as an index of the steadily advancing value of
that description of property.
Major. St. Clair Abranas had a grand house
warming in his new town of Tavares, last week,
in which the young debutante was formally in
troduced to the notice of an appreciative pub
lic. Tavares ha* a future, and Major Abrams
is just the man to develop the many advantages
that the town possesses.
A force of one hundred and fifty men is now
employed on the railroad intended to connect
this city with St. Augustine, and aa considera
ble grading has been effected, we may look to
the completion of the line before a remote
period.
It is asserted also that work will soon be
commenced at this end of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railroad. About tea
miles of the road has been graded in the
vicinity of Tampa. When th=se two enter
prises are accomplished, this cit* will be the
terminus of five separate and disxlnct lines of
railroads. Have we not good reason to feel
cheerful over the prospect ? W. H. B,
HON. A. H. STEPHENS.
He Writes Another Letter Defining
His Position.
A WashlDeton special to the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist says that lu
replv to questions touching his relations in,
the coming canvass for Governor of Geor
gia, Mr. Stephens has consented to the
publication of the following letter:
National Hotel, 1
Washington, D. C., May 22, 1882. \
Mr, Charles E. Smith, Washington, Oa.:
Deak Mh. Smith— Your letter of the 19th
Is before me. In reply to your Inquiry about:
my position In relation to the Governorship
of Georgia, I can only say, briefly, that tha
reported Interviews with me on this subject,
•as published in the Atlanta Constitution, are
substantially correct. Ia reply to letters
from all parts of the State, and from
men attached to all political parties,
urging me to forego mjv intention
to retire from public life at the
close of my present Congressional term, and
to consent to accept tne cilice of Governor.
I s'ate that If my health continues as good
as It has been during the past winter, and if
unmistakable evidence should be furnished
me that it Is tbe will of the people of Geor
gia that I should 60 serve them, I know of
no reason that would justify me in refusing
so to do. Thus the matter rests at present,
so far as I am concerned.
When asked the question whether I would
allow my name to be used In connection
with this office at the next election against
the nomination of another person by the
Democratic State Convention to assemble
on the 19th of July next, my uniform
answer has been, “I would not.” This action
of tbe Democratic party would, with me,
be controlling evideuce that it is not tbe
will of a majority of the people of Georgia
that I shou'd serve them as Governor. To
this conclu-ion 1 should come, notwlth
s audlng the numerous letters I have re
ceived from men of the greatest eminence
In the State, and the many petitions em
bracing hundreds of people in different
counties to which I have referred, and the
recommendation of my name to be voted
for as G ivernor by tbe people of Georgia,
bv the highly respectable body of men who
recently assembled in Atlanta, aud whose
good opinion and confidence I appreciate In
no small degree. I deem It proper, in this
connection to add that while my political
affiliation is entirely with the Democracy
on principles and measures, and if lu
either It hss erred, such errors should be
corrected within rather than without Its
rauUs; yet if I were nominated bv the
Democracy and elected Governor of Geor
gia by the people, I should not be a partisau
Governor, but should look to the best in
terests and welfare of the State by protect
ing the rights of all classes of society,
which should be the chief object of all gov
ernment. The principles perpetuated In the
motto of the grand old State, “Wisdom,
Justice and Moderation,” would be the
guide of my administration.
Since writing the above I have seen a
telegram dated the 15:h Instant, from At
lanta, Ga., to tbe Chicago Tribune, published
in the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist
of the 20:h instant, stating that I had tele
graphed to the Atlanta Convention of In
dependents that I would accept the nomi
nation for Governor. It Is utterly untrue
that, I ever sent any such telegram or
authorized Us being sent, by anybody.
Yours, Alexander H. Stephens.

Destitution in Patrick County,
Va —Mr. J. H. Ilangeley, of Patrick
Court House, Va., has issued an appeal
for the suffering people of Patrick coun
ty, which is indorsed by the Hon. Geo.
W. Booker, ex member of Congress.
Mr. Rangeley declares that “no such
suffering for bread was ever known in
any county in Virginia, the poor people
being actually on the verge of starva
tion ; many go for days without a morsel
of bread, and as for meat, they don’t
think of that.” Concluding his appeal,
Mr. liangeley says: “Many are getting
thin in flesh, and show in their faces the
want of food. I tell you, in all candor
that I don’t see any way for some to get
ou any longer. No money and no bread.
All hands have worked hard and have
planted a fine-crop, but will be forced to
abandon all. Our wheat looks fine; but
wheat to ripen in June will not save the
people who are hungry in May.” Mr.
Rangeiey adds that Messrs. J. E. School
field & Cos. and P. T. Barrow, well
known business men of Danville, will
gladly receive contributions for this
cause. They also vouch for the
ness of Mr. Rangeley’s statement.
