We would call he especial siteaton oi our readers 10
the luminous and powerful letter Of our commercial
respondent which will be found in another column And
particularly would invite our agricultural readers to
examine well and reflect long upon that part Of Il relating
to the exports OF foreign produce under the tariffs Of isa2
and 1896 From the table in the letter giving the amount
Of exports Of breadsus and provisions. they will see
how vast has been the increase in the exports Of those
articles under the tariff Of is4e II cannot be said that the
exports Of is4s were at all influenced by famine yet
they exceed the exports OF the articles during the
FIRST year Of the tariff Of 1912 in the ratio Of $50 per
cent And yet the present imbecile and incompetent
administration invites the farmers to return to the tariff
OF B42, with its prohibitions, securing monopoly to the
manufacturers. and causing paralysis to the agricultural
interest.
But the letter Is most important in another point Of
view 1t demonstrates the great expansion OF our COM
merce, navigation and manufactures, resulting from the
increased production Of the great southern staples Capt.
tai employed in manufactures has than doubled in
ten years; shipping mainly owned at the North, has
received additional benefits agriculture employed in the
production OF breadstus and provisions has received adj
ditional stimulus all Of which may be attributed to the
extending production Of the great southern staplesthe
foundation Of our manufactures and commerce. The
West has derived great benefit from this increased pro-
duction Of the southern staples; and the North has
derived still greater benefit from the same source.
How significantly. then, do these weighty interests
point to the necessity Of union! And are they "a
be put in peril merely for abstraction. to graf
lily handful Of fanatcal agiiators' Let the true
men-the patriots Of the North, the South. and the
Westponder these things and then let them give peace
to the troubled elements.

SOUTHERN FLoRIpA-ANcIEST lNHABITANrs.-
"The early history of the Southern part Of the
Peninsula of Florida shows that when discovered
by POM de Leon in 1879, it was numerously peo-
pied by Indians living in towns under one do
minion, and that they were Of an intrepid and en-
terprising character, possessing the same qualities
in war, that have recently rendered the Seminoles
such troublesome foes"
This section of the Florida Peninsula was then
called the country Of Calos, the name of the Co.
Clique who ruled over many chiefs, and whose
dominion embraced the Everglades, part OF the
coast, the Florida Keys, (lInown then as the
Martyr Btands,) and portion Of the Bahama
Islands, it is supposed.
At the mouth of the river emptying into the
Straits of Florida, was town called ''Tocobago,"
in which, when first visited by the whites, there
were fifteen hundred inhabitants. The inhabitants
of this town were hostile to the dwellers in the
Calos country; and the location OF the town Of
Tocobago, is supposed to have been on the st.
Lucie Sound near the mouth Of st. Lucic river
which forms junction with the sound and then
emptes into the sea, TO make the figure of a
cross, the St. Lucie sound and Indian river form
ing the beam, and the st. Lucie forming the arms.
There was also town on the Miami river.
The Indian towns of the Glades, when first dis
covered, contained each about forty persons /;
CaIos, the King, reigned over forty-eight towns
the names of more than half of which are given
by Spanish captain, Picalante, who by ship
wreck was thrown among this people, within
fifty years of the discovery of Florida.-F1ortda

readers will recolect abounds in the stony and
sterile parts of the Island of Java, from which,
were it not for this vegetable wonder, slaall
birds and quadrupeds would be forced to migrate
in quest of water At the foot-stali of each is
a bag shaped exactly like pitcher furnished

meets it with the leaf The hinge IS strong
fibre which contracts in showery weather aud

sun shone forth, than the heated fibre begins to
expand and closes the goblet SO firmly as to
prevent evaporation, precluding further supply
