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. According to the report of the Com¬ missioner General of Immigration for the fiscal year 1895-96, the number of persons over 14 years of age in each 100 immigrants from those nations shat sen? more than 2,000 persons to United Statesduring the year, who admitted that they could not read and write their own language, was as fol¬ lows: From Switzerland,0.7; Denmark, 0.8; Sweeden and Norway, 1.0; Ger¬ many, 2.4; France, 4.2; England, 4.4; Scotland, 4.6; Ireland, 6.5; Finland, 10.4; average, 3.7.

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.” _ FARM AND GARDEN. Matters That Will Interest and In¬ struct Soil Tillers. correspondence of I-xpericnced hen And tut«re»ttn* l.itr«ct« 1'rom Our -tgrleiiltural Exchanges About Farm Crops. 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 ratoons twenty odd years in suc cc s8ift» j^MjA Cuba, and here in Lou ^Vor ^^Letine sixteen lias V- il.nnv,, and the to years, last ratoons of the second 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 or soil ferments will multiply and ^ ^ ^ nUr0(fel)f) , ]B ^pounds ^ ^ ^ ^ for lhe elM( „, ng . ^ whjf , h ^ n(jt ^ „ effectively aBeompMlih>< should the land be flnghed a „ d flat durin g the win ter 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¬ geously expended In canals, drainage plants, etc. A drainage system which was sufficient when sugars were sell ing at ten cents per pound will in the ot instances be found most a „„ rpdly inadequate under the pres and prospective eonditions.a*aore a< , e yields must be increased to de¬ -rease the heavy cost of production.

When the rainfall is not heavy andkjther condi¬ tions are favorable, tenM-ious soils are proverbial for the lit/ge yield of ton of cane. > Reiterations are pardifnnble from the fact that the more $l>c scientist investigates the strong* L •ecomes the proof that when tenaj theif Btd | H llre somewhat level in »formation Rtt„ppi~ujil (and tbe area is large mntion to large annual! la can not be had profitsiauB* 3588a lilhr ItWaae effect ive driiinUBj United the precipitation !ar to never over \ hour for several cons] \the rtrrtn sity for largi wbnltt lif"ilf *1 ft! hut, unfortu | e L tron Seal latitude! ■ ’ Time t | mt , B excessive, aj (♦he of water is 'ffi low lying fieVfcJ^__ lyTm some i natances for , -Htiii ..rtially or ’VlHrlty submerged, *5- ft Iring very seri ous detriment of the crops, and also those to folk In the voto tiori. 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 BOa *° n <> " to "" ,l ke yields than is per hups generally conceded; a fact wor,, '.V of careful consideration when * s remembered that plant canes are* cut for the mill in Novem * >er H,u * December often remain dor "'ant, ttni ' frequently do not ratoon for three months, and canes planted in fall “re often killed to the K ro,lnd h y frPezl "K temperatures and are virtually only nine __when harvested Such meteorological InBlienees are what really seriously handicap the tropical " nne industry of the state, and the tre.Htment of the soil in a manner such an to counteract the, retarding effects of low temperatures must la¬ the constant aim of the progressive iigriculturist.

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 this lotus was that known a* the blue lotus of the Nile, also a sacred plant.

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 the average American would prefer a wine or elder entirely free from nil impurities, and lienee we predict u growing popularity for orange wine when its absolute purity and cleanliness lias been taken into cou sideratian. f Uiat the ont»-r coating of nu (Tora f .tn at, t b ing tty* re tint poeUil ao tuat no pure goe» into th« ciclcr yStSS^9.
