Starke, Fea.. Dec. 22.1884.
Deak Sun: It has been some time since
I felt able to sit up and write even a short
article for publication ; and even now your
kind readers must not expect much either
in the way of composition or length.
There is certainly a great future for this
State. It is
BOUND TO BE RICH AND POPULOUS.
The healing properties of the ‘'living” here
are so great that thousands upon thousands
are brought into the State each season ;
and what is remarkable about it is a very
large per cent, remain permanent citizens.
The “living” as used above embraces
more than the climate, for there are a
number of agencies that co-operate with
the climate to effect cures. The diet—
oranges—the warm and sparkling water,
and many other things help to cure dis
ease. Many persons think that Florida is
only good for lung troubles ; but this is a
great mistake. The average citizen will
tell you that it cures all throat troubles,
asthma, rheumatism, general debility,
skin diseases and many other ailments of
the human body with almost absolute cer
tainty. Many paralytics have been re
stored.
This may all be considered premature
from me, since I ntn here for my health
i and cannot report any marked improve
ment in my lung trouble as yet with cer
' tainty. only my geneial health is improved.
But the foregoing are facts, without re
-1 sped to the effect of the climate upon my
self.
There arc other attractive features about
the State that will help to swell the popu
: iation as the months and years pass by.
THE CHEAP LANDE AND LIGHT LABOR
required to cultivate them in the staple
products of the State will attract thou
sands when it is well known. Labor is
scarce and high here, and this will gradu
ally bring in a large number that
I class of our population.
THE LIVING IS CHEAP.
This.great natural remedy to many of the
! diseases of the body is almost free —free
1 air, free fish, free oysters, and free homes
I (if you locate under the law), and what
i more would you want free? In the vicini
ty of Starke, I am told, there are very fine
cattle ranges, and the older and bettei
settled citizens show the fact by drove
after drove of fat cattle which they mar
-1 ket from this place in the spring. Hogs
1 thrive well here, there being many locali
ties where they latten on the mast of the
forest, as they formerly did in the ranges
around about Hartwell.
THE ORANGE CROP IS THE CROP,
and it is beyond question very profitable.
They sell them here now at Ic. toljc.
' nicy euuiu uuuru i<> raise mem a?*
I Long-staple cotton thrives here—sugar
j cane —potatoes—vegetables of all kinds—
many varieties of fruits. It is'the home:
of the LeContc pear. Many varieties of
the peach, plum, ami grape do as well here
as in Georgia. This is not written at all
lin the spirit of boasting. These are sim
i ply the facts as I see them ami as others
i state, too. Neither have I written to ins
, fluence any one to come here, although we
, want “homecompany” very much. There
jis an obverse to correspond with the con
verse side of nil pen pictures. So it is in
this case, I dare say.

a few days ago, and “all of a sudden”
right on the confines of the lake, entered a
cemetery hid away in a forest of liveoaks

craped with long moss. In astonishment
1 asked Master Morgan L. who was buried
there? He replied, “The people of Starke
—they don’t allow anybody buried in or
near the city.” There were only a few’
dozen graves that we could see. Very ev
idently there are many other things to be
said to the credit of this side of the pic

thought. I am not driven to the indis

to say here, much to the credit of Pro

tention of our people. I have never
witnessed on si malar occasions as little
use of intoxicating liquors. Major
Skelton, the assumed agent for ship

Washington Letter.
(From Our Uvular Corresponded 1 1
Washington, Jan. 5, 1885.
The monotony of routine I
ings at the Cap’tol
an under current of fun. It is in the
cloak rooms that this current runs at
its height. When your Representative
or Senator seeks the seclusion of this
sacred precinct, jnst outside the doors
of the legislative chamber, he usually
lights a cigar, unbuttons his coat,
throws himself on a sofa or In one
chair with his feet on another, relaxes
himself generally, and is nnt half a
bad fellow. He then talks with free
dom and vivacity and, secure from the
observation of the public, he shows
his best, and, alas! sometimes his
worst side. Then he expresses his
views of men and things with candor
and ccustic calmness, and indulges h s
inclination for practical jokes.
Senator Garland is an incorrigible
mischief maker, and bis fun is not con
fined to the seclusion of the cloak
rooms. Butler, of South-Georgia, is
another mad wag in the Senate, and he
and Garland are constantly playing
jokes, more or less outrageous, on each
other. Not long ago Garland hit But
ler pretty hard—that is to say he got
a very good one on him; and Butler
“laid for” the Senator from Arkansas.
Knowing Garland’s fondness for candy
he procured som caramels sad abo
some cubes of brown soap, whieli,
when wrapped in thin tissue paper,
precisely resembled, to the eye, the
caramels ! Butler knew that if he tried
to put the cubes of soap off on Gar
land he would fail, as the latter was
of course on the alert so far as he was
concerned. So Voorhees of Indiana,
who sits next to Garland, was chosen
for the confederate. Said Butler to
Voohees, “Here are two genuine car
amels —these others are cubes of soap.
Go to your scat, lay the soap cubes on
your desk, eat the genuine caramels,
put your trust in Providence, and say
nothing.” Voorhees did as he was
told. Garland observed the cubes on
the desk, and saw that Voorhees was
eating something with an evident eel-”"
ish. “Hello!” said Garland, “what
are you eating?” “I’ve got a cold,
and I’m eating some candy,” replied
Voorhees, very much absorbed in some
papers in his hands. Garland looked
at the counterfeits wistfully for a mo
ment —‘‘Hum,” he said finally, as he
picked one up, “I’ve got something of
a cold myself;” and be popped the
piece of soap into his mouth. There
was a crunching of his jaws, and —he
saw that he was caught.

under fire ; but he was determined not
to flinch. After chewing bis soap for
a moment he looked up at Voorhees
with the inimitable air of innocent,
earnestness that is characteristic of
him, ami softly hsked: “Do yon eat
tnanv of these tilings when you have a
cold ?” As Garland kept on chewing
and an almost imperceptible strip of
lather formed oiihis lips, Voorhees be
came alarmed find went to Butler.
“The fellow's actually eating that stuff?
Mhy it will kill him, won't it
“No o-o-o,” drawled But ler, “I don't
reckon anything will kill that man !”
Garland was game. He finished his
soap; and no man could say that he
looked as if he didn’t enjoy it.
