Atlasta, Ga., Oct. 13.—T0 night the al
liance membersof the legislature held a big j

experience meeting, so to speak. From what
can tv learned of th se who were >n tbe in

the allisncemen in thetr future legislative
p'iitica The state and national s.iuauons

took part in the meeting on being asked to
night in tbe Kimba.l bouse lobby what tbe

from the sentiment manifested

it was tte Ocala plattorra from the word

This is significant, comi g as it does fresh
from the la>t meeting tie alliance legisla
tors, tbe politicians of the order, will hold
before going back to treir cons ituents. No
matter what tbe big leaders say about tbe
abandonment of the seb-treasnry, every
expression from the ranks goes to show that
tbe alliance is still firmly and uncompro
misingly wedded to the Ocala platform.

Tba Citron Tree Described—Habit* of
the Gopher— The Hunting Season.
Gai.vesviiae. Fla., Oct. IS.—A gentle
man named Prise, who lives at Orange Hill,
in Levy county, has a citron tree which is
full cf fruit. Every one who has eaten
fruit cake is familiar with the citron of tbe
stores, made mostly of young pie melon;
but few people have seen the genuine art.els
wh.le gro 'mg upon the tree. The tree re
sembles the lemon, an 1 its leaves, when
crushed, give ,-ut the same agreeable odor
c .aracteristio of the citrus family. The
fruit s oblong in shape and of the size
of a small cantaloupe, of a pale
green color, a.d unpalatable until
stewed ia sugar. Mr. Price planted
the tree in a comer made by the sides :f the
house and chimney where it is protected
from the cold of winter by the heat of tbe
hearth. The growth of the almond is now
attracting atte .tion in Florida, and there is
no reason why it cannot be successfully
grown here, as the writer whe i a child saw
tbe nut mature on a tree as far north as
Newnau. Gt. The pecan is a success in this
city. Tbe finest nuts ever seen are grown
yearly by F. X. Miller on his lot in town.
Wtat is known h-re as bard rock seems
to have at pres-nt a better axle than phos
phate. It is shipped to Jacksonville to be
used in constructing the jetties at the St
Johns bar. During tbe past two years the
supply has come from Archer, Arredondo,
Hammock Ridge, Fort White and between
Evinston and Ocala. Now the Gulf ham
mock and the region arou and Wiiliston is
being worked and toe rock sent out of the
woods by Ambler’s railroad, running
from a hamlet by the euphonious
name of Early Bird to the Florida, Cent al
and Peninsular at Archer. We have daily
pwseing this railroad center probably the
most variegated and interesting fr*igt>t in
the United States. In a train you wi.i find
a carload or two of phosphate, two more of
rock for the jeti.as, another of cedar for
pencils, another of fish and oysters, another
of pine logs in the rough, another of squared
lumber, another of siding, one
of soft rocks for building roads and s’reets,
one of oranges, another of lemon*, another
of bananas, one of tr bscco, one of hides,
another of srrup, while in the spring you
will see dozens loaded with cabbage, half
dozens with tomat es. six with bear.s, five
with potatoes, a doze i with cucumbers, two
with strawberries, and so on. In tee winter
long trains bring railroad iron, coal, flour,
bacon, oil, paint, guano, salt, horses, beef,
mules, milk cows, mackerel, dry g ods,
clothing, mowers, reapers, wag ins. carts,
carnages, engines, boilers and hundreds of
other things needful, necessary, quaint and
curious.
Up till Dow the weather has not been
cold enough to bring down the wild ducks
and geese, and consequently there hasbeeu
but little shooting dene as our last legisla
ture remodeled the|game laws, leaving the
cou ty commissioners to fix the time for
hunting to begin. The oomni issionere for
s me reason have failed so to do a;.d will
not now fix a day, as on Nov. 1 the law
gives license to the gunners in case the
commissioners have failed to name an
earlier day. In consequence of non-action
ia the premises the quail have net been
mule-ted. They are therefore fully grown
and are here iu larger numbers than ever
before, and will continue to increase under
this, b >th to the birds andjtrue sportsmen,
just and wise protection.
Salamanders and gophers are bad this
ye r on the piuder crop owing to the dry
leather cu'ting off their usual supply of
grass, nuts and tender succulent roots and
Luibs. The gopher in Florida is a species
of the land turtle or tortoise which bur
roughs, like the salamander and prairie
di-g, deep into toe earth. It has three
staie-l periods, like the salamander, for
coming out to forage, viz; Sunrise, noon
and sunset, aud if the hungry negro can
surprise him far enough from his citadel he
will easily procure a meal of delicious flesh
and pot of savory soup, but
if Mr. Gopher tees him in
time he will have two or three hoars of
hard labor if he is “out of meat and bound
to get him.” The gopher in the west is the
chiprau kor ground squirrel; in Louisiana
it is a targe rusty slake; here a shell-incase 1
quadruped. There is nere aso a serpen:
called the gopher snake because of its often
be ng found in the den of the gopher. The
> ri er has seen boys while digging out a
ahbit which they had run into a gopher
hole, take out at the same time
the hare, a gopher and a snake.
If it were not for the skunks, the animal
whose solitude ar.d privacy is so religiously
regarded by ail who are familiar wi;h it,
we would soon be overrun with the gopher.
The sku iks, however, deligeutiy work over
in the hatching season all the little mounds
of earth near the gopher holes, and in
which the eggs of the latter are depos.ted
to he batched by the sun, destroying them
t-y the millions. Then, too, the country
men in the most cruel manner thin them
out by impaling them alive on sharp light
wood knots wherever and whenever they
find them.

surrounding villages were ruDg violently.
A general panic ensued. The water soon
found its ievei and poured through a gorge
150 feet deep, ard continued so to flow until
the next day, when Mr. Loaua left. The
inhabitants were so frightened that they
would not approach the stream Loalza did
not take the temperature of the water, but

JOHN WISTHBOP 3 FARM.
A Yankee Family Possession of 227
Years Brought to an End.
From the Boston Her rid.
Of the thousands who daily pass the
bronze figure of the eminent John Wiu
throp, first governor of Massachusetts Bay
oolony and founder of Boston, there are
few, if any, who know that tbe father of
the Bay state bad any ambition to appro
priate land to his own use.
But, like others who were prominent in
founding anew country, he received grants
of the common land, among them a farm
of I,’dbO acres, and his deputy, Thomas
Dudley, had a grant of the same court.
These two men went out through tbe wil
derness to Cou.orJ river in i(i3B, aud
about four miles down the river from the
present village they 1 cared or selected their
farms. They found a convenient place
where two great boulders stood on the
easuirn bank; these they desiga.ed as tbe
dividing line botwasn the farms.
As tbe governor died in about eleven
years afterward, it is poss.ble that no never
paid many visits to bis inland farm. Fifteen
years after his death i: was so and by bis eldest
sou, Fitz John \Vmthrop, the governor of
Connecticut, to Jacob Lane of Maiden. The
deed, bearing date of Aug. 2, 1664, is still id
existence, and is held as a sorvenir by one
of his descendants. It is written on vellum,
and is well prsserved and legible. The price
paid for the farm was £230.
The purchase pnoe was paid by building
a house for the governor ot Connecticut by
Job Lane, who was a famous builder. Be
settled on this farm, and remained tbe only
civiiixed inhabitant for miies arcund until
1082, w>.en his eldest son John took a wife.
Then tbe father cave up the place to him
and returned to bis Malden home.
At the death of Job, in 1607, his farm was
surveyed and found to contain 1,500 acres,
the governor having bad an eye that
reacned beyond the grant of the colony to
the extent of HO acres. Ttiis whole was
divided between the heirs of Job according
to the laws of that day, the eldest son having
a doable portion. Thus 750 acres ani tbe
building remained m the name of Lane.
John, the second Lane owner, wa a noted
warrior, a colonel in tbe French and Indian
wars.
His house was garrisoned, and was the
scene of some interesting events. His daugh
ter Mary, the ancestjr of William H. Whit
more of Boston, was often on guard, aud at
one time killed a lurking red man by shoot
ing through a porthole.
At the death of John, in 1714, the second
of tbe Lane family owners, there was a di
vision, but there was enough for all. James,
son of John, remained on the farm where
he spent his life, and left it be his son James,
and he, alter a long possession, died in 1779,
having divided the farm between three sons,
Solomon, James aud David. The latter
built anew house on his acres, where he
passed bti days in enviable prosperity, and
at his death, David, Jr., born in 1796, came
in possession. He was followed by his son.
Job 8., who was born in 1828. He was
monarch of all be surveyed during his life,
which terminated in May, 189 J.
He left a son. whe did not continue this
family possession. The widow of Job B.
caused the farm to be sold under the ham
mer, something new on that estate, as the
successive possessions have been through in
heritance. No deed has bee i called for on
this farm since it came into the Lane
family, and the estate has never been con
veyed by a deed of sale since the one of
John Winthrop in 1664.
The sale of last Tuesday terminated this
remarkable family possession.
HE WAS MUCH INSURED.

Singleton was a p..or man and an Illiterate;
he had no particular desire to insure his
lite;hebadno money to pay premiums;
and, as to filling up a “proposal” with its
customary schedules, he had not a
glimmering of an idea of how to do
it. Bu ail this was of no consequence in the
eyes of his friend i aud acquaintances. They
were wont apparently to accost him in some
such way as this; “Good morning. Jemmy.
Any objection to my insuring your life P’
Jemmy, who probably saw m the sugges
tion pleasing visions of refreshments at he
bar, doubtless answered like Mr. Barkis,
ti.at he was “willing,” and forthwith the
friend proceeded to fill up the form.
So the thiug went on till no fewer than
twenty distinct policies, repra>e iting a
total of £1,700. had been effected on the
life of this little otd ostler who kuocaed
about in the yard of this public bouse. Did
James Singleton sleep at ease with these
twenty persons all around him listening to
his coughs and watching day by day to see
if his gait grew feebier and his nands more
tremelous tnan they were? Apparently he
concerned b.mself tittle about suen mat
ters. But now he is dead and
buried, and one of the policy
holders has been prosecuting his claim at
tbe Mine ester assizas. Need we say that
Justice Smith has read him a lesson on
gambling policies, and that the jury have
not looked with a kindly eye ou the two
favorable description of Mr. Singleton in tbe
vicariously filled up proposal.' Oou .sel, in
brief, tineirup the c.-.se at a point and the
jury at once returned a verdict by consent
for the insurance company.
_ MEDIC AI.. _____
SCROFULA
Is that impurity of the blood which produces
unsightly lumps or swellings in the neck;
which causes running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which develops ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or “humors;” which, fasten
ing upon the lungs, causes consumption anti
death. It is the most ancient of ail diseases,
and very few pe sons are entirely free from it,
H u ß c e an CURED
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. If you suffer from
scrofula, try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years old, being a terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from
headtofeet. We all took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and all have been cured of the scrofula. My
little boy is entirely free from sores, and all
four of my children look bright and healthy."’
