®ltq jcrald and SUccrfacr. Newnan, Ga., Friday, March 9, 1888. The Land of Flowers. Mr. Editor:—Perhaps a few lines from i lower Florida would not be without in- Iterest to some of your readers, who pave friends here, and who have never [visited this portion of the country; tvhicli has been almost unknown to us until within the last few years. Even kt this distance from home the change Is very perceptible, from the broken, pilly, red, cotton lands of that section, *o the level, white sand and turpentine lelds of south Georgia and northern simply ridiculous ; for a fool, and him drunk, knows that we need everything else except those two articles. If we don t get more sense than our Congress has shown since the war we would starve and freeze our wives and child ren to death ; for they have not looked after any interests save those of the big and strong, and of themselves—or. at^least, they have given no protection to any except this class since the war, and they have given it at the expense of the poor. Xow. if we all get drunk on this cheap liquor, and sick on this cheap tobacco, we will, I fear, do like our Congress—we will forget those at home, and let them freeze or perish. I want Congress to give us poor labor- 'lorida; thence to the gray sand, orange i «rs some of the home protection that roves and tropical verdure of southern ■lorida—the country improving after [eaving Palatka ; some of the towns, With their street railroads, etc., putting on quite a city-like appearance. This they have been giving (or, rather, tak ing} to themselves ever since the war, which is to exempt us from taxation and pay us interest on all that we have twice a year; and when we all get rich, point claims to be about 200 feet above Uke they are, we will give them cheaj per cent, of water and about 50 per cent, of cellulose—a substance resem bling starch or grape sugar. The agents which especially distinguish it are caffeine and coffeone. The former belongs to that group of chemical agents called alkaloids. Coffeone is a volatile oil, the result of an essential change in coffee, produced by roasting. To this subtile and fugitive principle the aroma of coffee is due, and in roast ing this oil permeates the entire grain; but if the heat be too great, or contin ued too long, it is dissipated and lost. Experiments show that caffeine and coffeone have different effects on the animal body, the caffeine acting as a transient stimulant, while the coffeone is more prolonged in its effects and ex ercises a sedative or tranquilizing ac tion. But in drinking an ordinary cup of coffee two actions are obtained, stimulation preceding for fifteen min utes the stage of sedation or repose.” R. D. COLE MANUFACTURING CO., NEWNAN, GEORGIA. the level of the Atlantic, which is 80 miles to the east. The Gulf of Mexico is 40 miles to the west, and the climate is I’ particularly adapted to the healt h and „ restoration of those affected with pul monary complaints. Contrary to my expectations, so far, I have seen none of the sallowness attendant upon ma larial districts, but every appearance of ruddy health. I am told that fires are necessary but for a few days during the t winter, a pleasant breeze tempering the heat through summer, while <he nights are always cool and refreshing. 4t is difficult for one to realize what ^Season of the year it is here, with straw berries, tomatoes, beans, etc., on the table. This, graced with a venison roast or steak, would surely please the ^ taste of the most fastidious. We miss the fresh butter and milk of home— "’either it is too warm, the range is not <j| sufficient, are the “cows haven’t come H home”; which it is, I cannot say. The absence of fences and the innu- ^ merable stumps remind a visitor that H the country is new, but in going about one is constantly coming upon hand- f some modern dwellings, apparently built in the woods anywhere; yet you are sure to see not far off either a young or an old orange grove, from five to twelve acres in extent, some of the trees having been set out the present winter, while others are from twenty- five to thirty years old. I was shown a tree twenty-five years old, that the own er told me had borne eight thousand oranges in one year, which were sold on the tree for $7.50 per thousand. One can readily see that it is worth having. In other words,it yielded $00 clear profit. . Something more than cotton or grain on the same space of ground. The trees at this age require but little cultivation. But the orange is not the only produc tion of the citron family found. Lemons, shaddocks, grape fruit, pomegranates, guavas, and other varieties brighten the dark-green, glossy foliage with their golden coats, while the same trees are % redolent with the odors of the pure, white fragrant blooms. Unimproved lands about here have sold from twenty to one hundred dol lars per acre, while improved lauds with bearing groves are worth from five . hundred to two thousand dollars per , acre, according to the age and number i of the trees. Many of the Northern and Southern States have representatives here who have made investments. New York. New Jersey, Connecticut, IoWn, I Nebraska, Kansas, Arizona, Missouri, North and South Carolina, Alabama, and even England, Scotland and Ire 's- land have representatives in this imme- Hl diate section. It is no little labor to clear the lands of the immense pines nd prepare it for the groves, but when once started they grow off, and are pleasant to the looker-on and a satis faction to the owner. The first impressions of the people ,re pleasant. You find them social, ^pleasant and hospitable—sharing their fruits and flowers with you in lavish ibuudance.

Like any other new country, it needs ard work and perseverance to make it lossom and bloom like the rose.

But we must call jneetingsand let our Con gress know that we all indorse Pres ident Cleveland’s message on the tariff —only some of us are more so. We would like to try “free trade,” or any thing that would place us in a condi tion to make an honest living by hard work, which we can’t do now. A\ e wan’t to try some experiments. One is this : As the owners of our mines and manufactories have had the bene fits of home protection for more than a quarter of a century, and we have been taxed to support them and the Government, too, T, for one, want the Government to give us poor farm ers home protection, by compelling ev ery dollar owned by the bondholders and monopolists to pay its pro rata share of the expenses of the Govern ment that protects it. There is only one way to do this and that is to give free trade to every nation that will give us similar advantages, and no trade to those that will not. Give us a direct ad valorem tax on all the property in the United States. This, and this alone is just; this, and this alone, will preserve our constitutional liberty and save millions of lives: for it was the tariff that caused the revolution of 177(5; and it was the stamp act that caused the war of 1812 ; and it was the tariff that caused nullification in 1833; and it was the tariff that was the prime cause of the war of 18(51. It will be the cause of the next war on this continent, and it is this that is causing all the trouble in the European world now. 1 can show how all these wars may be settled—just like Solomon made peace with the world in bis day. If we had a majority in both Houses of Congress, with such a man as President Cleve land to back them, we would lay the foundation of a temple for the lovers of free government to meet in that would make peace on earth, good will towards all men.

This is A Cup of Coffee. Sacramento Bee. “In searching for the origin of cof fee,” said the professor, “authors have agreed to assign its birth-place to Ethiopia. When it was carried to Arabia it soon became naturalized. In searching for the earliest mention of it, one writer, inspired with that rever ence which has sought to find out all things in the Sacred Book, assure* us that coffee is mentioned in the history of King David, where it was stated that this was the potion which was offered by the hand of fair Abigail to calm the excited monarch. The proof urged in favor of this Biblical claim is that the drink offered was prepared from some thing roasted. “Whilst visiting Paris,” continued the lecturer, “I was agreeably surpris ed to find in a museum a portion of the original coffee shrub which was brought to France. Probably no more precious sample of this berry exists in the world. Coffee, at the time of its first introduc tion into use, was very valuable, selling for from $20 to $25 a pound. Such a price led to its general cultivition, and soon, instead of it being the monopoly of Arabia, whence it was first derived, it was grown in the East and West In dies, Bengal and South America, and large amounts of it are grown in Java, Ceylon, Mexico. Guatamela, Costo Rica, and Brazil. The production of the lat- ter country is the greatest, being about 4,500,000 quintals annually, one sack generally holding about one quintal. While coffee can only be cultivated in a wmn climate, yet it cannot bear great heat. The seed is first planted in a cool shaded nursery, the infant plant being scrupulously screened from the rays of the sun. It is next transplanted to the fields destined to its growth and it is there carefully cultivated for nearly five years before the product is sufficient ly abundant to be remunerative. The shrub usually reaches a height of from twelve to fifteen feet, and is well cov ered with leaves of a dark, glossy green. Small flowers of snow-white color spring from the stem at the foot of the leaf. When in full bloom the appearance is exceedingly charming. The flowers are soon transformed into round, green berries, which, ripening, present the appearance of red cherries. From two to three crops of mature berries may be gathered annually. The work of preparing the berries for market is done partly by hand and partly by ma chinery. Each berry should have two grains on it, yet sometimes but one is found, and this one is especially prized and commands the highest price. The pulp of the berry is sweet to the taste. “A chemical analysis of coffee, after being burned, shows that it contains 20 Making Vaccine Virus. New York Tribune. Few persons who pass the old two- story brick building, No. 91G Second avenue, which has a decayed wooden awning in front of it and bears the sign “Steam Carpet Cleaning,” are aware that it shelters the Board of Health’s vaccine virus “farm.” The first floor of the building recently was converted into a stable for cattle that are kept there to undergo vaccination. A clean er, warmer and better ventilated stable probably cannot be found in the city. Sixteen fat cows and Texas steers stood in the stables the other day when a Tribune reporter entered the place. Dr. Pardee, the virus expert, was at work in his laboratory, in the back end of the stable, while two assistants were looking after the cattle. Dr. Pardee’s den is lavishly decorated with colored prints, and is occupied in his absence by a white cat. On the shelves are glass jars containing goose-quills and points of virus. A big table upon which calves were formerly strapped while undergoing treatment, occupies a part of the room, and there is a small grind stone used for roughening the quills which are to receive the virus. The manufacture of bovine virus for the protection of human beings against small-pox has been going on under the eye of Dr. Pardee for a dozen years or more. Formerly he operated on calves, but lately be became convinced that better virus could be obtained from large cattle and the Health Board de cided to give him a new “farm.” By a clever arrangement of movable bars in the stalls a cow or steer is prevented from kicking while being vaccinated in a dozen or twenty different places. The operation most annoying to the animal comes later, when the virus is being transferred from it to the quill points. It is necessary for the Board of Health to buy the cattle outright, feed them Well while undergoing treatment, and for some time afterward, and finally sell them to butchers at a loss. The outlay for rent, feed salaries, cost of material and losses in cattle trading amounts to about $10,000 a year. Part of the money comes back through the sale of virus. Last year the depart ment received $2,339 for virus sold to druggists and physicians. Probably money could be made out of the “farm” if the Health Boa rtf charged a fair price for all the virus it could dispose of, but the sanitary officials are mainly interested in stopping small-pox. Last year nearly 90,000 persons in the city free of charge by the sanitary inspec tors and enough vaccine virus to vac cinate 30,000 more persons was given away to public institutions. As drug gists are charged 25 cents for a single “point,” the gratuitous Health Board vaccinations on that basis might be said to be worth nearly $30,000. ‘‘The recent change from calves to large cattle in the virus ‘farm’ has been attended with surprisingly good re sults,” said President Bayles, of the Health Board. “One inspector recent ly vaccinated sixty-five children in a public institution with new virns, and vaccination ‘took’ in every case. For merly there were frequent failures, and many children had to be vaccinated a second time. The new virus is believed to be as pure as any ever obtained. We have had no complaints about it, so far as I have heard. It is alleged that dis eases nay be communicated to children by humanized virus, but there is no danger in using bovine virus, when the virus is taken from sound cattle.” At present the virus ‘farm’ turns out about 5,000 “points” a week.
