To THE EDITOR OF THE UNION
SIR: "Ihere are three things that are
never satisfied; yea, four things; say
not, 'It is enough. 1t is never enough.
The four things are the four quarters of
our country, any one of which contains
more letter writer's than / can answers,
and they are like the horseleach's
daughters, constantly crying give, give.
Give us more information about Florida.
"Oh how loft yare their eyes, and their
eye-ids are lifted up" to spy out the
land where the thermometer has never
yet indicated zero. They say unto
themselves, "Surely the churning of
milk bringeth forth butter;" and they
churn away at me all the time crying
give, give, give us information upon
every conceivable question about Flori-
da.
Why should 1 2 am not land agent,
nor have an acre of land for sale. I
am not commissioner of migration" +"
(sslary $500 a year, to answer queE-
tions, nor have any interest in imigrA-
ton to the State except to get help to
pay taxes.
Questions; care taxes high in Flori-
dat" Yes, sir, they are outrageously,
wickedly high. That is one of the
one thousand and one questions an
swered. Why should I answer them 2
1 have no interest to serve and do not
feel under any obligations to answer all
the letters if could, and it is phys
ical impossibility for me to do it. 1
have passed three score and ten, and
should have ''passed that bourne, sc. +"
if l had not come to this blessed eli
mate. That answers another question.
1 can not sit at my desk, as I have in
''auld lang syne, sixteen hours a day;
and I should need to if I answered all
the questions put to me about Florida
I give it up, don't intend to try. I
wont even read half the letters sent to
me. My eyes are too dim. But will
answer few questions interesting to
many as well as the individual writer's,
if You win print my replies, which must
be brief, though frequently requiring
pages instead Of lines to make them
valuable
Here comes "a lot from Western
New York man, ''thirty-two years of
age, with a wife and two children, used
to country life, farm labor; has some
skill (gumption, in rough carpentering
would become contracting builder, }
is generally considered handy at almost
anything in the shape of manual labor,
can dig, plant, clear land, cut timber,
and has good health" And then in
perfectly unenvious simplicity he hon
estly inquiries whether there sis q good
demand for such labors in your section!"
Demand "Wanted Immediately" ten
thousand such, to clear up a wilderness
and convert great variety of woods in
to saleable articles and then to cultivate
a productive soil, not one-tenth of
which has ever been touched by the
plow. That answers several questions
in mass; here are more:
"Can good land be bought in small
lots in healthy locations 2" Any sized
lot you desire, from forty feet to forty
thousand acres. Some of the "old
Spanish grants" cover that quantity.

A Monster Shark.

The London Daily Net0s says: 1t will
be recollected that, in late issue, we
announced the stranding of an immense
shark at Shanklinsin the Isle of Wight.
The skin of this huge fish has now
arrived in London, having been pur-
chased for the British Museum. The
difficult operation of taking the skin off
SO gigantic creature has been admira-
bly, carried ont by Mr.. Gerard, Jr.,
whose ability in preparing skeletons for
the British Museum is well known. Its
total length is twenty-nine feet, its cir
conference fifteen feet at the largest
part It's teeth are exceedingly small,
and not the least like the large white
ivory teeth seen III sharks of museums;
they are, on the contrary, very small and
set with interspaces one from the other,
and about the size of cats teeth.
This is the basl1ing shark-sQuatus
n1dEi8lus, cet0rinus DlaGinlus, sQUdtus
clcphas, sail-fish, hoemother, or homer
of Orkney, sun-tish, west coast of Ire
land. 1t is not, however, to be con-
founded with the n-fish-OrthagOrjScUs
nlOld-that is, the shape of the sun.
These huge sharks appear in considera-
BILE numbers i'll the spring along the
northwest coast of Donegal and Clew
Bay. The Sun-fsh Bank is probably
the first shoal water made by the fish
coming in from the Atlantic. 1t is pos
sible they come here to spawn, passing
the rest of their lives in the deep waters
of the Atlantic. Little or nothing is
known of the habits of this fish, which is
probably the largest among known
sharks. Couch records one taken in
Cornwall measuring thirty-one feet eight
inches. 1t is supposed that they swallow
their prey alive. The Irish fishermen
spear them for the sake of the oil which
is to be obtained from their liver. This
fish, when floating on the water, is fire.
quently taken for the whale, on account
of its somewhat sluggish movements.
Hence it is also called the basking shark.
1t is supposed that the present specimen
had lost It's way, being bound, probably,
for the west coast of Ireland.

One of the most disastrous elements
in a moving day is a small boy with an
aspiring disposition. If he carries any
| thing. Il must be chair, which he takes
on his head with the back ut the front so
to prevent him from seeing where he is
going. and with the erect legs in range
of the chandelier and upper door castings.
Thus equipped, he strikes n military
step. improvising his mouth into a
trumpet. and starts out. In less than a
quarter of an hour he has that chair
safely on the cart where it is not wanted,
and is hurrying back after another.
Before the carman has returned
the second load, the one boy
has developed into eight, each boy with
a chair, each boy under feet, and each
boy making as much noise as planning
mill on damp day. If boy cannot
get chair to carry he wants two bed
posts. He wants two so he can carry
one under each arm. Then he starts
down stairs. First the posts cross each
other at the front and nearly throw him
down, then they cross at the back, and
the front ends fly off at tangent, one of
them digging into the calcimined wall,
and the other entangling in the bannis-
tiers. But he won't let one of them go,
but hangs onto both with exasperating
obstinacy. In the meantime the carman,
who is working by the load and not by
the day, is waiting at the foot of the
stairs, and wishing that he had that boy
back of the Rocky Mountains for about
fifteen minutes and the anxious father,
with straw bed in his arms and his eyes
full of dust, is at the head of the stairs,
waiting to come down, and vociferating
at the top of his voice, until the dust
from the tick gets into his throat and
precipitates him into violent fit of
coughing. BY the time the third load
is on the way, the novelty of helping
carry furniture is worn off to the boy,
and he and his companions are firing
rubbish from the garnet at each other,
or fooling with the horse just as some
heavy object is being lifted onto the
cart. The best plan for n moving family
that has boy, is to get him half bushel
of frozen potatoes to throw, and set him
out i'll the suburbs until the affair is

Diking in Holland.

In Dutch drainage-work the dixie is a
very important element. These vary, OF
course, according to the circumstances
under which they are required. On the
North Sea coast, where they are built to
withstand tides rising ten feet beyond
their average, and, lashed by storms,
they constitute work of stupendous
magnitude and cost. In the case of
holder of few acres, they may be the
work of single man. Occasionally in
their construction serious engineering
difficulties are presented, especially is
this the case where the dixie is to be con
structed in the water. Here the two
sides OF the foundation, which must
reach from the solid earth to the surface
of the water, are made by sinking great
RATS of fascines made of willow osiers,
often from 100 to $50 yards square,
strongly secured together, and making a
compact mass. These are foated over
the place they are intended to occupy,
where they are guided by poles sunk in
the bottom, and are loaded with stones
or with earth until they sink. Upon
