FLORIDA. Something about Steamboats.— Amusements of the Winter.— Out-of-door Sports.—Domestica ting the Oysters.—Alligators, etc., etc. November 6, 18<5. The people all along the line of the. Chattahoochee have heard with much pleasure of the certainly of the estab lishing of anew line of boats on the river. The M. &E. R. R., and the S. & N., of Alabama, are the projec tors of this new enterprise. They say that the managers of the Central line have made it exceedingly dis tasteful to shippers and passengers from the beginning, and they have hoped the culminating point would be reached soon. The early fruition promised makes hope no longer ne cessary, and this is esteemed a cause for self-congratulation by every one. A seeming consciousness of monied strength, greater than that to be expected of any rival, induced a kingly way of doing business, which secured the contempt of those who Mere compelled to patronize them. They feel now that deliverance has come, and rejoice to believe that the arrogant Central will be made cogni zant of the fact that there is a power behind the throne, that, with them, is stronger than the throne itself, THE WINTER AMUSEMENTS of this section are not altogether dif ferent from those of other sections of the couniry. The people, all their lives, nntil freedom “ come about,” accustomed to wealth and elegance, cannot well get out of the old grooves; and when enteriainments are given at any of their houses the most primely hospitality is dispensed. The ruling queens of the couulry are always present in goodly numbers, and their “ many twinkling feet,” keep soft ca dence to the excellent music that ri ses with voluptuous swell and floats through their splendid ancestral halls. The dear ladies! what would the world be without them? We may dignify man with titles of superiority; clothe him with the trappings of rank; [dace in his hand the iron rod of rule and deck his brow with the glittering badge of sovereignty, but it is woman who wields the sceptre still. Always purifying and energizing in her influ ence, we cannot do without them. HUNTING. Out-of-door sports, of course, are engaged in principally by the sterner sex, and that of hunting is not indul ■ ged id as much now as it was in ante helium days. While this is the case, it is not for a want of game, as deer, squirrels, foxes, rabbits, turkeys, and ducks, and birds of every feather, abound in quantities, and, on the swamp, bears are not much of a rari ty. Deer hunting is a success. It is almost an every-day occurrence to get a party and go deer driving, and the drive is usually attended by a supply of venison. This is indeed the country for those who are fond of hunting—the field is large and invit ing. ABOUT ANGLING. Here itf Jackson, the sport of fish ing is comparatively tame when it is brought to bear with that of St. An drews’; but it is splendid here, and even grand and sublime when com pared to the up-country. This seems to be a world for the finny tribe I have seen negroes v ith a brush seine and in water bnt a little deeper than their knees, catch as many as a barrel of fish in a few hours. Angling on the Chipola and Blue Spring is the rarest sport, and the fish are much finer aDd nicer, though they are caught in larger quantities from the lakes and ponds. The people here have fine fun at “ fish fries,” and the modus operandi is to collect a crowd of ladies and gentlemen, and away they go to a lake—taking care to pro vide themselves with bread, coffee, salt, lard and a frying pan. The men do the fishing, the ladies prepare the fish, and it seldom fails to be an en joyable occasion, particularly to those who are fond of “dancing oo the green.” I have attended several, and often seen fine trout, bream and shell cracker brought out by the hun dred at one single draw of the seine. WHAT OYSTERS DON’T DO. It is the season of the year when oysters are themselves again, and ev erybody takes advantage of a month that has an “r" in it. The wagons begin to flood the country with “fresh oysters for sale.” St. An drews’ bay perhaps affords the best oysters on the Gulf coast, and it is Void of parties who ruralize there, HAMILTON, HARRIS CO.. GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1875. that they amuse themselves tutoring these juicy bivalves, and it is said that they emerge from the water’s edge and pnss up and down the door step without embarrassment. As to the truth of this, “ depone,h saiili not,” ‘ A* I know not how the case may be, Rut -ay the title as ’two* said to me." A JOKE O.V ALLIGATORS. Experts have also the credit of ra ther a novel way of slaughtering alli gators. Tired of monotonous but ac tive shooting, they lay aside their trusty firelocks, ami armed with caps and powder flask they saunter along the water’s edge at midday, when the sun is warm, and gnats and flies are abundant. His 'gatorship may then be seen out sunning himself, fast asleep, but with his ponderous jaws thrown wide open to take in the dain ties to which lie is accustomed. Ap proaching him very cautiously, they fill his mouth with powder, then plac ing a cap on each of two of his under teeth, they as silently steal away, and chunk the victim with lightwood knots. Awaking, he finds his mouth full of something, when together come liisjaws with tremendous force, the caps explode, the powder ignites, and off goes the ’gator’s head. This is said to bo rare sport. Having already lengthened this out to more than an ordinaay letter, I wid wail for another time to write up the gopher and his peculiarities. I have also made a short trip into mid dle Florida, aud will tell you some thing about that. More anon. VIDKTTK. Xetter from Alabama. Smith’s Station, ) Lee Cos., Ala., Nov. 18, 1875. j Ed. Visitor. —l had the good for tune of receiving a copy of your val uable and interesting paper, from Hamilton, the place of my residence for nine years, in ante bellum times, and, in looking over it, I see the names of many old friends, v\ hose faces are as familiar in memory as if I were talking face to face with them; and I can but sigh for the good old times that have been. Among other things, I notice the advertisement of Mr. 11. C. Shores, formerly of this place, and knowing him well, I desire to say, through your columns, to the citizens of Ham ilton and vicinity, that he is a man of unswerving veracity, integrity and honor—will make an excellent citi zen, and the people will do well to patronize him with their work. We have just passed through an election for anew constitution, and have heard enough from the returns to believe Alabama, like good old Georgia, has been eternally redeemed from the curse of carpet-bag, scala wag and negro rule. With the best wishes for the suc cess of your paper, my friends of old Harris, and my native State, Geor gia, I remain, yours truly, 11. C. Gibson. HP - The Irwinton Southerner says: Mr. O. G. McCoy of Jeffersonville, is 73 years of age,- and lately performed a feat which would have severely tes ted the endurance of a young man. On Saturday, the 16th day of Octo ber, he labored as a carpenter on the store house of Mr. R. J. Smith, at Cool Springs, which was burned that night, and after finishing his day’s work, rode home, a distance of 15 miles. On arrivingat home he found that the corpse of a little great grand child had arrived to be interred in the cemetery at Jeffersonville. A messenger had to be dispatched to a daughter, who resides 25 miles from Jeffersonville. He then, unhesitating ly, m-'unted his horse and went to the place and back to Jeffersonville, a distance of 50 miles, and reached the latter place before day Sunday morn ing, having worked 10 hours at a la borious occupation and rode 65 miles, performing the whole in a little less than 24 hours, and strange to say, al though 73 years of age, he did not complain of any extraordinary fatigue, and lias since pursued his ordinary occupation. The horse he rode was 30 years of age. It is reported that the “Dev il’s Pulpit,” at Tallulah Falls, was thrown out of place and demchseed by the recent earthquake shock, Scotch elder, on learning from his minister that he proposed a series of lectures on “Revelstions,” cautioned him: “ I’ve nae objection to ye takin’ a quiet trot through the seveu churches, but lor ony sake drive canny t.he seal* and trumpets,” i Hamilton Malo Institute.

Where the plowman takes his r. st. Thev wat>'h the gsy butterfly flitting From flower, from leaf and from tree; They wait for the birds that arc coming To sing the glad song of the free. They know where the apples hang reddest, And see them when they fall to the ground ; They know where the grapes grow sweetest, And where the ripe berries arc found. Those who work well are the happiest— The liltlc and the poor become wise— Some hearts are beaming with sunshine, And so are those little brown eyes. They come to me oft in the nighttime, They flash in my face in the day— May they never grow dim with sorrow, But may life be one long, long May. “THEBE” ALLIS LIFE! BT JAHVIS BBAN-.

My sister Julia was vary coura geous. In our youth the country was w ililvr th in now; but it might lie said of her that she was not brought up in the woods to be scared by an owl. Site would traverse the most unfrequented paths, wondering at my timidity. There was nothing masculine, how ever, in Julia’s appearance; site was simply a sweet, joyous child, with an absence of fear in her character and a consequent clearness of percep'ion in all eases of snpposud or actual dan rer. When I was sixteen, and Julia was eighteen, my father hired a laborer named Hans Sehmidt l a who had been in the British service, and who, at the close of the war, had de serted from his regiment. Ho was a powerful man, with a heavy, imbrnted countenance, and both Julia and myself were struck, at the very first, with an intuitive dread of him. The feeling in Julia hardly took the character of fear, but was one ralßer of the most in tense loathing. One evening she read of a horri ble murder that thrilled our blood, and, upon turning her eyes from the paper, they encountered those of Ilans Schmidt. There was some thing terrible in that glance, and, from th it moment, she resolved that the villain should be turned away. As her wishes aud opinions were al ways of much weight with father, ho took her advice and gave Hans his discharge. Soon after this, Julia and I were left alone in the house, both father and mother being absent upon a visit until the following day, and we hap pened to bo without a servant at the time (for we kept more than one). At night we went up to bed and h id partly disrobed when Julia turned hastily to the window. ’* I declare,” she said, “ the even ing is so pleasant that it is a pity to remain in-doors. I don’t feel a bit sleepy; let’s go down on the lawn.’’ We descended the stairs. How little I imagined what was in Julia’s heart! Harry Irving came up just as we reached the lawn. Ho was only casually passing the house. Julia engaged him in conversation, and he joined us. My si-tor was more than usually lively. “ Where arc Tom, and Edgar and Will ? ” she asked. “ Oh,” replied Harry, “ they are over to my uncle’s. They will he coming back soon.” The three young men soon appear ed upon the road; and, to iny sur prise, Julia arose at their approach and called ns aside from the door. “Now, Mary, you need not bo norvovs,” she said. “ Keep quiet, and do not speak above your breath. There is a man under our bed—there, there!” and she clasped her hand over my mouth —“ a man under our bed, and the young Irvings are going to secure him.” They al! provided themselves with heavy sticks, and then, guided by Julia, ascended the stairs. As to myself I could not follow them, but remained trembling and seated upon the doorsteps. Never did I experience a greater sense of relief than when the assailing party descended, looking partly ashamed and partly amused, having found nothing to justify their sudden arma ment. Julia was in an agony of mortifi cation and wept piteously; for, al though but half convinced that her apprehensions had been groundless, the idea that she, who had never till now feared anything, had placed her self so ludicrously in the eyes of those men, was insupportable. * The man, she said, must have taken the alarm, and fled out of the back door, for she could not have been so deceived. Our young friends, more in pity for her mortification than from any belief in the reality of the night in truder, offered to remain in the vi cinity till morning; but she would Dot listen to the proposition, and they look their departure. I was sorry to see them go, and watched their forms till they were out of sight, for the affair of the evening had almost frightened me into hysterics. Julia, however, at once rushed to ; the chamber, and flinging herself on I tie bed, continued bitterly weeping. She had exhibited herself in a char acter which she despised; and het man under the bed wou’d be the talk of the neighborhood. I followed her, but neither of us coilhl sleep. The c'ocik on the mantle piece struck eleven; and then “lick, tick, tick,” it went on for the next dreary hour. Julia at length ceased weep ing, and lay in thought, only an occa sional sigh betraying her wakeful ness. Again the clock struck, but it had not reached the final stroke when Julia,-leaping out of bed, flung her self upon an immense chest at the further end of the room. "Oh, Mary!” she cried, “quick! quick! lie is here! T cannot hold the lid—lie will get out!” There was indeed some living thing inside the chest; for, in spile of Ju lia’s weight, (ho lid was lifted, and then, as the instinct of self preserva tion overcame my terror, I sprung quickly to her assistance. Whom or what had we caught? Imagine yourself holding down the lid of a showman’s box, with a boo constrictor writhing beneath; or keeping a cage-top in its place by your own weight alone, with n hyena struggling to tear his way out and devour you. But we were not long in suspense. Horrid execrations, half German, half chilled ottr very hearts, and we knew that there, in the mid night, only the lid of nn old chest was between ourselves and linns Soil midi! At times it started up, and once or twice his fingers were caught in the opening. Then, finding our coni bjned weight too much fi>r his strength, it would become evident that ho was endeavoring to force out an end of the chest. But he could not work to advantage. Cramped within uoh limits his giant power of muscle was not wholly available; ho could neither kick nor striko with full force; and hence his chief hope rested upon his ability to lift us up, lid and all. Even then, in the absolute terror that might have been supposed to possess her, a queer feeling of exul tation sprang up in Julia’s heart. “ I was right, Mary," sho cried. “They won’t think me a fool now, will they ? I shan’t be ashamed to sec Harry Irving!”. Poor Julia! Under the circum stances the idea was really ludicrous; but nature will everywhere assert itse f, and Julia hated a coward. Thump! thump! thump! Lid, and side, and end, aUeniatcly felt the cramped, powerful blows. Then came the lift—the steady, straining lift, and Julia cheered mo when the cover shook, and rose, and trembled. “lie can’t get out, Mary! We are safe; only just keep your full weight on the lid, and don’t be ner vous, either; it is almost morning.” She knew it was not one o’clock. But 011 c o’clock came. Jlow I wished, it was five! And two o’clock came, and three and lour; and we hoped thi t our prisoner had yielded to his fate, which must now appear to him inevitable. A small aperture at one end o( ihe chest, where there was a fracture in the wood, supplied him with air, and hence we could not hope that he would become weak through suffoca tion. He wrh evidently resting frorn the necessity of the case, for his exer tions had been prodigious. There was a faint streak of morning in the sky ; and there, upon the chest, we sal, and watched lor the gleam to broaden. Suddenly there was a tremendous struggle beneath tin, as if the nifllan had concentrated-all his energies in a final effort. At rtiy end of the chest there was a crash—and immediately the German’s feet protruded through the aperture that they had forced in •the board. £0 horriblo now ap peared our position that 1 uttered a scream, such as I do not think I ever at any other lime could have had the power to imitate. To get off the lid in order to defeat the movement through the chest end would have instantly been our de struction; therefore, still bearing our weight on the chest, we caught at the projecting feel. In doing I bis, how ; ever, we partially lost our balance, j and a sudden bracing up of the raus ' cular shape below so forced open the I lid that the head, arms and shoulders \ of Hans Schmidt were thrust forth, and with a tearful clutch he seized Ju ilia by the threat* $2.00 A YEAR. Just then a heavy crash was heard at the door below, the foot-tramps springing toward us as if tome per* son were tearing np the staircase wi h the full conviction that this was an hour of need. The dim daybreak hardly revealed his identity, but I had a faint percent inn that yonng Harry Irving had come to us in our hour of peril. Some time in the morning I found myself in bed with Julia, aud several of the neighbors standing about me. Julia clasped me in her arms and cried, “We nre safe, Mary ! Harry Irv ing wus ne. r the house all night. He relumed after seeming to go home. The 1 MSI scream he would have been able to hear, as beat last hoard yours; lint I am glad you did not scream be fore, for now ne have had nn experi ence, and know what we can do.” Hans Schmidt had decided upon ihe chest ns a safer hiding-place tl an that in which Julia had first discov ered him. Upon the very morning on which Harry Irving stunned mid secured the ruffian in oar room the officer# of justice were hunting for the old Hes sian scoundrel as n supposed mur derer, and ho was soon convicted and luing. Julia bieatno tho wife of Hurrjr Irving, and a most excellent wife she was. Magnanimous and unrevenge ful, she was perhaps the only, person who felt no gratification at the fate of Huns Schmidt, hut rather a pity for the ignorance ahioh had steeped him in crime. WIT anil HUMOR. “ Did my moustache trouble you?” said lio to hor. “ No,” she sighed, “I only felt u little down in the mouth,” Surpri ing power of endurance— a oUtlr.drover who had one ear cut. off by the Indians got up and walked off 0:1 the other one. It was an Irish editor who said that nbsentc s wire the curse of Ireland, and added thst his unhappy country swarmed with them. A Russian proverb says: “Before going to war, pray oner; before go ing to sea, pray twice; before going to got married, pray three times.” A little Whilchaller, gazing upon an old picture of his mother, taken in a low dress, remarked, “ Mamma, you was nios’ ready fo- bed when dat. pictei* was tooken. ' Count Lntonr Mnubo g lost his leg at tho battle of Leipzig.*. After he had suff red nmptin’ion with the greatest courage, he saw his servant crying, or pretending to cry, in the corner of the room. “None of your hypocritical tears, you idle dogl’* said the master. “Yon know you arc glad, for now you will have only one boot to clean instead of two." “ I’m two years older than yon,” said a little girl to n New Bedford boy the other-day. “ I don’t care,” was the reply, I’m going to wear trousers soon, and that you’ll never do.” New Bedford is said to have bnt one whaler left—a schoolmaster. • Parisian ladies are said to “look like pencils covered with raiment.” A bolt of lightning struck a tree in front of a Chicago alderman’s house, the other night, and in his fright the alderman remarked, “Hold ObM’H restore the money.’* “I never wot my mind to. wrbln’ poetry tilt two year* ago,” wai<l a young ruralist, tilting back in a grocery chair; “but the minute I took to goiu* with that Johnson girl, by gosh, I I couldn’t help it.” Why in the type of an unfinished job like old cheese? Because it is live matter. The editor who said his mouth never uttered a lie, probably spoke through bis nose. Little Willie having hunted in all the corners tor his shoes, at last a|- pears to give them up, and dimbing on a chair betakes hints if to a big book on a side table. Mother says to him: “ What is darling doing with the book?” “Itith the dictionary; papa looktb in the dictionary tor things, and I’m looking in it to see if I can find my shoes.” A Brooklyn girl is engaged to be married to an Italiau Count, and in the course of four or five years she may be looked tor on the street with, a hand-organ pU) ing the u*.uaJ tunes.
