NUMBER l5.
AThrify Governor.

Florida has thrifty Governor. These are
some OF his games: lie owns place on the
st. Johns river ct Jacksonville, and has just
got his Legislature to incorporate him into
the Jacksonville Ferry Company, with exclu-
sive privileges for six miles up and down the
river in front of the city. Also, has he got
his Legislature to incorporate him into the
jacksonville and st. Augustine Railroad,
which is to run from his ferry aforesaid to
St. Augustine, and has an appropriation Of
250. 900 acres of land ard the State indorse-
ment on its bonds to the extent of $500, 600.
AT tie same session which cansumates these
Acts, our thrifty friend exhibits other games.
The known revenue of the State does not ex-
ceed 5000. 900, and vet bis Excelencv. Har-
| rison Reed. has S66, 900 voted him as follows:
FirstSl0,0 900 Contingent Fund for the State,
which fund the Governor is authorized to dis
burse nero motu and without voucher: se-
cond, 5000 Contingent Fund for the Cow
ernor, which S., 900 the worthy man attempts
ed to draw in lump Just prior to his late
trip to Washington third, s., 200 to pay the
Governors impeachment expenses, proceed
ings having lately been instituted against
him and. fourth. $40 900 for State printing,
which printing is Gone in an office whereof
this Governor is very nearly sole owner. A
W u
aid to the amount of $3.50, 600, and SEC, 900
in cash, appears avery good sessions work;
but our friend is thrifty and strikes for more.
In the office of the negro Known as Secre-
tary of State of Florida is what burports to be
an Act of the last session of the Legislature,
regularly signed by the Governor, Lienten-
ant Governor, Secretary of the Senate, Speak
er and Clerk of the House. and yet ney er was
inf RaA thar
it is in the handwriting OF an appointee Of the
Governor, who confesses to have forged it; and
vet copy of this "Act" was taken on 10
Washington by Governor Reed. in order to
exhibit as his warrant for receiving from the
General Government the land scrip to which
Florida is entitled under the Agricultural
College Act of July 2, 1862. When it il
known that this scrip is worth q good many
thousand dollars, the frugal nature Of the
Governors game can be perceived. Withont
leaving the Interior Department, he could
sell his scrip, and then who is to call him tn
account for the proceeds? Not the General
Government, since it is a State matter not
the State. since the Governor owns the Legis-
lature. Happily, however, there are some
chances that this scrip will not thus sink in
to the guternatorial NAV. The Florida
State Superintendent of Instruction tarried nj
home only long enough to collect his proofs,
and then hurried on to Washington after the
Governor, with an opinion 10y the Attorney
| General Of tie State that the so-caled statute
was no law. but forged, with the Journals OF
the two houses showing the utter absence of
any mention of such e. measure and, finally.
the affidavits of members to show that said
statute was never introduced, read or voted

WARNING TO HUsBANDs.-A lady in the
Revolution (Sister Anthony's paper) writes
as follows
The great want of women at present is
money-money for their personal wants. aud
money to carry out their plans. | propose
that they shall earn it, that they shall cou-
slider it as honorable to work for money as
for board and demand for them equal pay for
equal work. demand that the bearing and
rearing of children, the most exacting of en-
ployments, and involving the most terrible
risks, shall be the best paid work in the
world, and that their husbands shall treat
their wives with at least as much considera-
ton and acknowledge them. entitled to as
much money as wet nurses.
The meaning Of this is that wives are about
to strike for greenbacks so much for every
baby born. No greenbacks, no more sons
and daughters. No greenbacks, no more
population, no more boys to carry on the
great enterprises of the age. The scale Of
prices for maternal duties are given as fol-
lows:
Girl babies, 800; boy, $500; twin. $500;
twin, (both boys), S400 triplets, 5000 trip
lets (all boys), $1,000.
Terms: c. O. d. No credit beyond first
child, motto being, "Pay up. or dry up."
Husbands who desire to transmit their names
to posterity will please notice, and take q
new departure.

PIERRE SoULE.-A despatch from New
Orleans, published few days since, announc-
ed the death of Hon. Pierre Soue. The
PHILADELPHIA Press thus sketches him:
His life was tempestuous from his boy
hood. lie was born at Castillon, France, in
1901. Destined for the Church, he was edu-
Gated as Jesuit, and there was much in his
manner that resembled the members of that
powerful order. At fifteen he took part in
conspiracy against the Bourbons, and to save
himself assumed the occupation and garb of
shepherd. He next appeared as the editor
of Liberal paper in Paris. which soon
brought him under the notice of the authori-
ties He refused to take advantage of his
youth, and defended himself with rare elo-
quence, which did not, however, save him
from prison, from which he escaped to Eng
land. Removing thence to Chile. and failing
to procure a situation there. he returned to
France. At IIavre a Captain in the French
Navy advised him to seek an asylum IN the
United States, and offered to take him in his
ship Gs far as San Domingo. The offer was
accepted. He reached P6rt-au- Prince. and
thence took passage to Baltimore. from which
he travelled to New Orleans. This was in
1925. Applying himself to the study ofEng-
lish and the law, he was admitted to the bar.
and Immediately grew into popularity and
fortune. In lS47 he was elected to fill va
cancy in the Senate of the United States, and
reelected in 1S49 for six years. but resigned
in 1853 to 60 as American Minister to Spain.
With John Y. Mason, then, our Minister at
Paris. and James Buchanan, then orr i1inis-
ter at London, be aided to prepare the famous
Ostend manifesto for the forcible SEIZURE OF
Cuba. His manners were polished bis dress
neat. careful. and Partisan his habits moder
ate: his elocution exquisite, and rendered
agreeable by his French accent; ana MS
mind far above ordinary. He always attract
ed crowds when be spoke. and many still re-
member his fierce speech against the CON-
nromise measures in 1850, which gave such
offence to Henry Clay. Always among the
Southern extremists, and ready for the rash
oct measures. he was never on intimate terms
with Mr.. Slidell. who succeed him in tae
Senate. and was par excellence the leader of
the Democracy cf Louisiana. He does not
seem to have figured prominently in the re-
bellion. though he was arrested at New Or
leans in 1862. and. after confinement for
some months in Fort Lafayette. was released
on condition of not returning during the war.

A SAD ROMANCE OF THE ONEIDA DISASTER.
In conversation with a very intelligent and
accomplished lady from Maine. few days
since, learned the following facts. which
throw the shadow of sad romance over the
Oneida disaster: Commander Williams, the
highest officer on the vessel, and one of the
lost, was a widower of something less than
40 and the father of two bright little chill
dren In May last he contracted an engage
ment for second marriage. which was to
have taken place very soon after the arrival
of the Oneida in this country, l believe it
was fixed for the middle of April. He lef-
the. United States for Japan in June last, and
Just before his departure he was one of a din
ne. party at which my informant and the afi-
anced bride were also present. Had he re-
turned safely, he would have known o fate
which his brave heart would not have met
with the cool courage that faced death at his
post on the quarterback Since the first OF
January. his two children and his intended
wife have died. When he left japan he had
not heard this sad news. but supposed he was
coming home to meet them all in health and
happiness. So to one at least Of the gallant
men who went down on the iil-fated steamer.

Fox THE LAST FEW YEARS the prOprlc-
tors of the celebrated PLANTATION BIT-
TIERS have been experimenting in the
growing of Calisaya Bark on the Island
of Jamaica, and have found, from
actual tests, and by no means mean
experience, that this valuable bark can
he grown with marked success only upon
the mountains from 1900 To 2OOO feet
high. There the forests are often be
dcwed with the early mist, and this tree
arrives at its full perfection. Owing to
the largely increasing demand for the
bark required for the manufacture of
quininc, and also for the use in the pre-
paration of PLANTATION BITTERS, the
procuring of it has been a source of
great anxiety to the proprietors, and
seeing, as they did, that the South
American supply would soon give out,
took the above early precaution to fully
supply the demand, and, assisted and
encouraged as they are 10y the English
government, at Jamaica, we have have
not the least doubt but they will sue
