A CHARACTER IN FIonrDA.-A lette,

A CHARACTER IN FLoR1DA.-A letter
from a correspondent In, Florida tells a
story Of q hardy person : Z z
"Mr. r. Is o sort Of prince among the
southern farmers, the richest man In this
region ; has somewhat less than 100 acres
under cultivation and several hundred in
wild land, over which, and for thirty or
forty miles around, his 1000 or 1900 head
OF cattle range at will and fatten upon the
wild grass. His southern brethren look up
to him as the paragon of excellence, whose
opinions on all matters are as good as law,
and his word is Us good as his bond-gener-
Gus, hospitable, whole-souled. He is truly
worthy of the high regard in which he is
held, and yet this man, in style, dress, and
manner of life. lives as rough as the rough
est.
As he was passing my house a few even
ings since / hailed him and urged him to
stop with us, as q dark, heavy thunder
shower was approaching; but he declined,
saying, "What do I care for the rain? You
see me with my flannel shirt and pants only,
and my long boots in the stirrup. Thus,
without blanket or other covering, I often,
when hunting cattle or the wild beasts,
when night oVertakes me, tie nv horse to a
tree and lie down in q dry place if l readily
find one !; but frequently / found myself
we'll drenched with rain and mud before
morning. But what do I care for the rain ?
/ never fear it. I never get sick, and never
suffer; good night, sir !" and off galloped
this hardy specimen Of southern chivalry
amid bright flashes of lightning, heavy roll
ing thunder, and torrents of rain, priding
himself on exposure and long endurance.

farmers the absolute necessity OF sending theiI
grain to market In as clean and dry a condition,
and as uniformly sampled as possible. Without
Ihese conditions they cannot get good prices, ano
their grain Will be liable to rejection. Hany
farmers COMPLAIN of the prices realized for their
crops b. their commission merchants, but the
fault lies at the rarmers' W doors, and they
won't or can't see Il. 1t is the interest OF the COM
mission merchant to do the very best he can FOL
his patrons, and farmers little know the annoy
ance and modification which this class OF busi.
