ANOTHKR MONUMENT.
The Washington Headquarters As¬
sociation, a society for the preserva¬
tion of the property at Princeton, N.
J.. that George Washington occupied
as headquarters during the Revolu¬
tionary War, was formed today. The
property was purchased, and will be
preserved in its original condition.
ICEBERGS.
The naval hydrographic office has
Issued a memorandum, stating that,
according to reports received, there
are signs of an unusual season of ice¬
bergs on the North Atlantic. The
bergs are not only making their ap¬
pearance very early in the season,
which does mot ordinarily begin un¬
til January or February, but are get¬
ting dangerously near the west¬
bound transatlantic steamship tracks.
TWO SURVIVORS.
The British ship Springwell, Cap¬
tain Kin mm, from Liverpool on De¬
cember 9 for Galveston, has arrived at
Swansea, Wales, with two survivors of
the German ship Rajah, of Bremen,
which left Cardiff on Wednesday last
for Hong Kong. The vessel capsized
in a gale near Lunder Island, at the
entrance of the British Channel. Nin
teen of the Rajah’s crew were drown
ed.
A SUICIDE.
Mrs. Laura Hicks hanged herself In
her room at the City Hospital in Rich
mond, Va. She was dead when found.
She was insane over the death of her
husband, and has made several at¬
tempts to end her life.
IMMIGRANTS.

missioner General of Immigration for
the fiscal year 1895-96, the number of
persons over 14 years of age in each

GEORGIA TRAGEDY.
Will Coleman, who was shot to
death by Frank Evans Wednesday
night, in Rome, Qa., was buried with
military honors Dec. 11. An immense
crowd followed the cortege to the
cemetery. Evans has just sufficiently
recovered from whisky to realize his
position. He is almost crazed with re¬
morning last week. A notice posted
on the doors stated that, owing to the
inability to make ■ any money in the
morse, and it is feared that he will
take his own life. The mother of
young Coleman is in a bad condition
and there is reason to fear that her
mind will give way under the terrible
strain.
SHUT ITS DOORS.
The National Bank of Commerce
of Drouth. Minn., failed to open one
business and decided to stop. The no¬
tice also stated that the bank expect¬
ed to pay the depositors at an early
ate.
The bank is capitalized at 1200,000,
and has $30,000 surplus. Its deposits
have been gradually but steadily
drawn down since the failure of the
Security bank, and it has been unable
to make any profit for some time.
Collections were hard and could not
keep up with the withdrawals. The
bank owes eastern banks as redis¬
count something like $4,000. E. W.
Matter is cashier. The deposits of the
bank four months ago were $200,000.
At the time of closing they were only
*50,000.
FIVE VICTIMS.
Miss Lizzie Miller, one of the vic
tiros of John Johnson, tbe negro who
butchered the Cotton family near
Tickafaw, in Tangipahoa parish, two
months ago, died last week at the
Touro Infirmary.
Four persons were killed by John¬
son. and the death of Lizzie Miller
brings the number of his victims up
to five. Miss Miller was frightfully
backed about the head and body
with an ax in the bands of the negro,
and, although she had lost much
blood, there was hope that she might
reeover and she was brought here,
where everything known to medical
science was tried, but without avail,
She has never been able to tell how
she was wounded. The negro mur
derer Johnson is still confined here
in the parish prison. Court will meet
in Tangipahoa in a few weeks and he
will be carried there for trial.
A NEW LAW.
In the prayer at a recent session of
the House, Chaplain Couden referred
directly to the bill forbidding the sale
of liquor in the eapitol and asked that
the bill might speedily become a law
w ^ neTer repealed.
The resolution extending until the
end of the session the investigation
by the joint eoninritte of the use of
free alcohol in the arte was agreed to.
The Sober had a fearful passage from
Bremen to this port. Two of the
boats were swept overboard by the
heavy seas which beat over it, and it
sustained other damages from the
same ca,lse - The steamer struck dur
the night of Monday last on a
about ,wo a,ld one ‘
half miles off Cape Corrubedo, on its
way from this place to Villa Careia,
where it was to ship another lot t>t
steerage passengers bound for
Buenos Ayres.
A FATAL WRECK.
A special dispatch from Berlin sayj
that the North German Lloyd steamer
Salier was wrecked on the night of
December 7, four miles north of Villa
Garcia, Spain, -and two and one-half
miles from land. The dispatch fur¬
ther says that it must have broken up
almost immediately, as parts of the
steamer have already washed ashore.
A dispatch from Lloyd’s agent at Cor¬
unna says that 381 lives were lost by
the wreck. The Salier was command¬
ed by Captain vVempe when she was
lost. The steamer has a general car¬
go. The disaster occurred during h
dense fog and very heavy weather.
The Need of Manufactories.
What Florida needs above all
thirgs else is manufactories. In cigar
manufacturing our state takes a
prominent place. In every other
line we are almost exclusively pro¬
ducers of the raw material, which is
sent to ether states for manufacture,
thereby giving to capital elsewhere
the profit, and to labor in other sec¬
tions employment.
Florida probably imports more
canned goods, according to popula¬
tion, than any other state. We find
right here in Florida the things that
we import. We ought to export in¬
stead of importing -canned goods.
Florida ought to take the lead of all
states in the canning industry.
We have oysters and fish. We
iiave fruits of all kinds. We ought
to sell them fresh or canned, as the
market demands. Certainly we ought
not to send off and buy what we
could put up at home. It costs very
little to start a canning establish¬
ment. It is in the reach of our own
people, and our people should make
the profit instead of giving it to
others. \
In forest igrowiiii ilor fca is
richest state in the Union! Why do
we send off and buy furniture, bar¬
rels, boxes, crates, buckets, and
other manufactures of wood? By
doing so we are impoverished our¬
selves. These things we should man¬
ufacture at home, and it would cost
little to do it.
We have the richest phosphate de¬
posits in the world. Ojr phosphate
industries, that are barely self-sus¬
taining, would pay much better if
phosphate were sold in the shape of
fertilizers than as at present, ship¬
ped as it is taken from the mines.
We ought to do our share of cotton
manufacturing. We ought to take
the lead in the manufacture of ra¬
mie, and this, now that a defibrating
machine has been invented, promis¬
es to become an imiKirtant industry.
We produce the raw material, and
nowhere else in the United States
can it be manufactured as economi¬
cally as in Florida.
When Florida becomes a manufac¬
turing state, our agricultural and
horticultural classes will be far more
prosperous than they have been here¬
tofore. Little money is needed for a
beginning, and a beginning would so
clearly demonstrate the profit that
outside capital would flow in rapidly
to carry on the work and share in
the profits.—Timee-Union.
Wage-Earning Women.
Concerning the complaint of men
that women “are taking the bread out
of their mouths” there was a time
when a woman left to support a fam¬
ily, could make a living by tailoring,
cooking, plain sewing, washing and
ironing, keeping house for wages, or
by copying papers for lawyers. But
rnen have set up tailor shops and fac¬
tories for ready-made clothing; built
steam laundries; invented the club
and its luxuries for wealthy bachelors
who might , want , housekeepers; . h.red .
men as cooks and waiters, and invent
ed the typewriter. When women
found themselves crowded out
these lines by the advance of inven
tion they turned to the men and ask
ed all sorts of work, taking what they
could get--doing men’s work and get
ting woman’s pay for it.
It is noticeable, too, that girls rare
ly work for themselves alone; there is
fci tally an old or an invalid mother, a
father unable to work, or younger
brothers and sisters. And as for old
er women who work, there is so often
a lazy or a bad man to blame that
men would better not look too closely
into the matter if they wish to state
so strongly that women work simply
to get men out of work. As for young
vomen not marrying now they work
for a living, that is a good remark of
the young woman in the treasury de
partroent at Washington: “Well, you
know a girl doesn’t want to give op
8 tlfifxt place for a $600 man.”

Scientists and Agricultural Practices,
Scientists within the century, who
have studied agriculture in its varied
ramifications, have discovered many
oi the bidden truths on which are.
founded the best field practices, and
now they can elucidate the rationale
of the rotation of erops, the beneficial
effects of drainage, etc., although it
is freely admitted that much which
transpires in nature’s laboratory, the
earth, is still shrouded in mystery,
yet to be divulged, if at all, by pro¬
longed research and patient study.
The science of agriculture has Bits
such rapid advancement in recent
years throughout the world, through
the investigations of individual sci¬
entists and the instrumentality of ex¬
perimental stations, that it is becom¬
ing imperative on the part of those
who are extensively engaged in spec¬
ial cultures to become personally ac¬
quainted with the subject or rely
more than formerly on those who
have not only practical experience,
but who have studied agriculture
from a scientific standpoint, and who
are au eourant with the literature
pertaining to the general principles,
etc. In this age of progression time
will not permit of the acquisition of
the necessary information by person¬
al observation and practical experi
(even if itcouid be thus attained)
—a fund of knowledge must, be had
by reading tbe writings of those who
have recorded the results of their ob
servntions and researches.
Those possessing scientific attain¬
ments and technical knowledge are
being more and more appreciated,
and it is doubtful if a youth of tbe
rising generation who is deficient in
such, who engages extensively in ag¬
riculture, will meet with marked suc
cess in his vocation, unless his means
will permit of his employing those
who are prominent in its various
branches.
The discovery of micro-organisms
around the roots of the leguminous
plants, which absorb or feed on the
nitrogen of the air, explains how they
accumulate that substance, and store
it in the stems, leaves, etc., thereby
enriching tbe soli to supply the re¬
quirements of the plants generally
believed to be devoid of the above
noted quality, which are to follow in
rotation; yet how account for some
ft, rtile foA, fields producing say good

year (crushed by an ante-bellum sin
gie mill with limited power) yielded
1,500 pounds of open kettle sugar—
said soil having been without fertiliz¬
er of any kind during the entire peri¬
od, virtually surrounded by water
and not four feet above tide level.
which precluded the possibility of the
roots penetrating any considerable
distance In the lower stratum in
search of any of the elements of plant
life.
That soils possessing certain physi¬
cal qualities and a drainage materi¬
ally excellent seem to accumulate ni¬
trogen from some unexplained
source, such as to produce average
erops for a term of years without the
application of manure or a rotation
with leguminous plants, can not be
gainsaid, yet in time the scientist
will probably be enabled to give a ra¬
tional explanation of the seeming
anomaly.
Apart from the chemical ingredi¬
ents of the soil, the cohesiveness of
its friability are of the utmost im¬
portance in causing it to be fertile or
its particles or its friability are
of the utmost importance in caus¬
ing it to be fertile or otherwise;
as either extreme is detrimental
to the production of large acre¬
age yields, particularly where at
times the rainfall is excessive and at
others periods of drought are some¬
what prolonged. Tenacious soils can
only be rendered relatively fertile by
an excellent system of drainage, and
at comparatively short intervals
plowing under a well matured legu¬
minous crop such as the pea vine
when the land is dry, or the applica
tion of heavy doses of cotton seed
meal or stable manure. To ridge the
land in this latitude is essential to so
fill the upper stratum of earth of any
excess of moisture that the bacteria

In the last twesty years hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been ex¬
pended in manuring partially drained
fields, when at least one-half the cap¬
ital won Id have been more advanta¬

If one reads the signs of the times
aright, the day is not j far distant
when the rough cultivator will 1*
styled an Improvident , planter. In
preparing the land in (he fall and
winter for spring plantings, to up
turn it (particularly when dry) in a
somewhat cloddy condition is a de¬
cided advantage, for if devoid of some
cloddiness at that, time, 'the. soil will
become very compacted 'by the win¬
ter rains, and with the (ipring work¬
ings there will be the alienee of that
tilth so essential when planting either
eane or eorn. .
With implements suited to the
quality of the soils arid'other corun¬
tions, at other times -lodw should not,
if possible, exceed the I size of the
goose egg, not the gallbn measure.
When the clods are sniall they dry
through the more rapidly and are
more easily saturated, and the parti
cles lose their cohesiveness and the
earth the more readily becomes fria¬
ble. No field crop In thD latitude re
sponds more readily to i.he well pre¬
pared seed lied than eorn, ns unlike
the young sprout of eane, it must at
throw out its route 4 in search of
once
nutriment, and if the soil is In a clod¬
dy state the root development will be
very meuRre, and the stalk’s growth
correspondingly tardy, to the ulti¬
mate detriment of the yield fn grain.
If the corn area is rouifhly plowed,
planted and cultivated when the
time arrives to plant the pease it may
still be in that condition—one which
is very derogatory to the germinating
and growth of the pease upon which
so much depends for th! enrichment
of the soil for the cane crops to fol
low.
cumulation According of to nitrogen locatHSn^gti* per , at: the oc- by
(he entire pea plant, varies from
about fifty pounds (>er acre to over
two hundred and fifty pounds, with
an average of over one hundred
pounds with a money t'alue of from
fifteen to twenty dollar); Therefore,
from a purely economic standpoint,
it behooves tbe planter Vo at all times
bestow extra care on lan'da the preparation
and cultivation of all planted In
corn and pease. It is proverbial that
small planters make more corn
acre than those who cultivate on an
extensive scale, one reason for which
may be that the former generally do
not possess the animal power to mak>
big clods when i.reaking up the land,
and It V* certain they make a mors
liberal uae of the harrqw to prepar
ing the land for com, snd the imple
ment is often used to advantage after
the plants are above ground. May not
part of the secret of tljeir success be
in the terse remark of the Creole who
said: “On labour la creme dela ter
re, the richest soil only . , is plowed. . ,
In recent years tests have been made
at numerous experiment stations, and
It has been found almost without
ceptlon that a well pulverized surface
has given the best yields In grain—
due apparently to the more effective
action of the soil ferments. It is with
corn as with pane, there must be
ridge culture, or the summer rains
would either scald the greater por¬
tion of the crop or the growth would
be very scanty, except where the soil
was very porous, a quality rarely
found except on the immediate banks
of streams.
The advantages which accrue from
fall and winter plantings are appre¬
ciated more by those who have put it
in -^notice, and now with the numer
Oils (Habitation railroads to expedite
the deli very'o£ the canes at the
tories, every furrow slice possible
should be turned from September to
January, as each day thus spent will
be worth two in the spring. Corn
land thus prepared in the winter onn
be planted earlier than otherwise
(whereby more grain and less stain
will be lind); (lie soil will be In bet
ter tilth; crops can be !a.id by careful¬
ly, n better stand of peas will he in¬
sured, and they will lmve weeks long¬
er to grow, and consequently a larger
amount of nitrogen will be accumu¬
lated from the atmosphere.
It may be contended that there is
no money in raising corn, which may
be true in the abstract; yet it docs
pay to produce corn, hay and a large
amount of valuable manure on the
same field in one season, which ren¬
ders the rotation of such importance
to the citue grower, particularly
where so large a number of animals
must be maintained to effectively cul¬
tivate the fields.
As the eane is a tropical plant and,
this a semi-tropical climate, every ad¬
vantage possible must be taken of
any condition which will tend to in¬
crease the acreage yield of sugar and
decrease the cost |>er pound. Cane in
this latitude is like corn iu more
northern dimes, where, when the hot
days of summer are accompanied by
adequate humidity, it develops rapid¬
ly, where the physical and manorial
conditions of the soil arc favorable;
although the soil qualities have u
more marked influence earlier in the

Tbe Sacred Lotus.
Concerning the rich fruit of the
lotus, which grew luxuriantly In the
Nile, many charming legends have
been told. It was believed that it was
so delightful that those who ate of
It would never leave the spot where
it grew, but for it would abandon
home and friends to spend their lives
in a dream of serene delight. Homer,
in the Odyssey, mentions the lotus
eaters, who lived on the northern
coast of Africa, and records their ati
tempts to detain the followers of
Ulysses by giving them the fruits of
the lotus to eat, so that they should
never wish to leave the spot where It
grew.
The same [metical idea is known to
the Arabs, who call it the “fruit of
destiny,” which is to be eaten in par¬
adise, and it is on this foundation
that Tenneyson built his charming
poem of the “Lotus Eaters.” This
mythical lotus has been Identified by
several botanists with that indige¬
nous to Tunis, which is a thorny
shrub, with is*; lies of the size of an
olive.
ezilingo Park found a species of lo¬
tus In Central America lieariiig ber¬
ries of a delicious taste, which, on
being dried and pounded, made very
wholesome and pleasant bread. The
lotus fruit found in Tunis has a stim¬
ulating, almost intoxicating effect,
and it is therefore probable, that this
plant furnished the foundation of
the ancient legends.
Tbe sacred lotus of the Egyptians
was a fine aquatic plant, dedicated to
Osiris and Isis and regarded in Egyp
tion delineations a* signifying the
creation of the world. Distinct frmn

plant. Iteth those species of lotus

No Worms iu Florida fruit.
In some of our exchangee we find
sensational articles referring to the
finding of worms In Mexican or¬
anges. We do not know as to or¬
anges grown in Mexico, but we do
know that so far, no (lerson lias dis
covered a worm, or an Insect of any
kimd, or any evidence of such hating
cslated, in any one of the more Mum
five thousand million oranges grown
In Florida, and we shall continue the
use of the lusoious fruit whenever
obtainable.
This freedom from worms and in
sects seems to lie a peculiarity J of the
fruits which Florida grows to the
greatest perfection. Oranges, lemons,
pineapples, eoeonnute, bananas, Jap¬
an perKiininons and guavas are ex¬
ceptionally free from the (M'sIh
which render the fruits raised in
other sections unsafe to cat. without
examination; unit the strongest ur
giiment offered iu favor of the use
of Florida orange wine and cider him
been its almointe cleanliness and pay¬
ity. In the manufacture of cider
from ajiples, a Jersey farmer once
said the worms gave richness, and
doubt less tiie cobwebs, spiders and
other insects which find their abid¬
ing place in clusters of gra(>ea may
give a choice flavor to wine, since all
are crushed together, but we think
