A Gross Scandal.

The Portland Transcript gives this
story. Do they really believe such
stuff in the North
A gentleman from the North, stop
ping at Jacksonville, Florida, recently
wandered off on little forest stroll,
and soon came upon a tumble-down
old cabin, at the door of which was
seated a venerable white man, with
eyes blinking with age, and his snowy
hair falling thickly about his shoulders.
He was watching little darkey about
fifteen years old, gathering palmetto
roots. The gentleman from the
North engaged the ancient forester
in conversation about the crops, &C,
and found the old man intelligent and
well informed about his surroundings
''But as to wages now" pursued the
the Northern visitor, show much do
you pay hired help down here ? Take
that little nigger gathering roots
there, how much do you pay him
day
The old man hesitated second or
two, and then slowly said, skeining
his long white hair through his fin
gers, "Well to tell you the truth,
stranger, I'm not much on wages my
self The fact is, that little boy gath
ering roots out there is my wife's SON"
The Northern gentleman had no
further questions to ask, more partic-
ularly, perhaps, as 'that little nigger's'
mother, big colored woman, came
out of the cabin about this time with
a big pair OF tongs in her hand, carry
ing blazingE coal for the old mans
pipe, a-.----.- ...

Orange Culture in Florida Is it likely
to be OVerdOne

MoRRIsoN's MILL, FLA, May 10.
Orange culture in Florida is now
engaging very general attention,
and a few thoughts on the subject
may be interesting to some of your
many readers.
A large majority of those who
come to Florida to make homes are
controlled in a great measure by the
profits supposed to arise from orange
culture. OF course the unsurpassed
winter climate and general healthful-
ness Oft the State have the greatest in
fuence in attracting visitors and win
ter residents, but the culture of the
orange is the idea that predominates
in the minds of those who seek rural
homes in the Flowery State.
Ifit be true that the immigrants to
ITiIs state are generally tU'elgAge IN
orange culture, the question naturally
arises "Will not the orange business
be overdone and the price of fruit be
come so low as to render orange cul-
ture unprofitable ?" This is a very
important question to those who are
now and will be engaged in the busi-
ness, and its correct solution would
be valuable information. On this sub
iect, like all others, there is diversity
ofopinion even among those supposed
to be wise in the matter.
The writer is engaged in the cuI-
ture Of this fruit on small scale, has
some experience in the business and
is acquainted with the different soils
of East and parts of South Florida,
from this knowledge has come to the
conclusion that the culture of the
orange in florida will not be over
done at least in the next generation
1t is very common to read of
orange groves bearing the second
year with budded stumps and at FIVE
years with seedlings, and it may be
true in comparatively few instances,
and it is the fashion to count on
one thousand oranges as the annual
average per tree; and further the
idea has prevailed to a great extent
that nearly all the lands in East and
South Florida were well adapted to
orange culture.
With such data as the above for
premises, it would be easy to reach
the conclusion that the orange pro-
duct of this State would soon be in
excess of the demand But it is not
safe to reason from the data above
mentioned. To construct an orange
grove that will average annually per
tree one thousand oranges is a mat
ter involving considerable time, much
labor, directed by knowledge off
the business and suitable location.
Il is far from being true that the
lands of East and South Florida are
all suited to orange culture. Yet it
is true that many hundred thousand
acres embraced in the region men
toned are well suited to the business.
except as to fertility, and this defect
must be remedied by the cultivator.
This difficulty must be overcome be-
fore the prosperous orange grove,
Welding annually the one Thousand
oranges per tree, can be established.

MR, EDITOR; l have been sojourn-

avans of wagons are seen coming in
every day, loaded with vegetables.
1t carries our memory back to the
time when we used to see the long
trains of wagons on the Ellano Este
cado or 'staked plains. That ubiqui-
tious agent, Mr. w f. Rice, was
everywhere receiving and deposing
this valuable freight

these articles are yet out of season,

grown and ready for consumption in
this genial climate
After the cars had gone We took on
ourselves to interview the agent.
We'll, Mr. Rice, it appears that
you are kept very busy No more

"Four hundred and eighty-one crates
They are shipped to all prominent
cities North and West and to the
British possessions but most to New
York The people have been using
them longer in New York; and they
have learned to want vegetables
grown so early as these" "Then you
think people have to be educated to
eat a vegetable out of season 7" lido
sir, just as much so as they have to
learn to eat our guavas when they
come to Florida. When our water
melons first went to the Northern
markets, it was with difficulty that
our growers could give them away
but now they are sought after and
bring large prices" What do Gu

COurt.
The United States Supreme Court has
rendered a decision 10 the case of A.
Orlando Jackson, who was convicted in
the Circuit Court for the Southern dis
trict of New York of having deposited
IN the United States mail q lottery circu.
lar addressed to j.. Keteham, OF Glev.
e%rsville, N. 7. Jackson was fined $1,000
and costs, and to stand committed until
the fine vas paid. Jackson petitioned
the Supreme Court for writs of habeas
corpus and certiorsri and alleged that be
was imprisoned Illegally. The latter
court holds % that congress may desig.
nate what shall be carried in the mails
and what shall be excluded; (2) in the
enforcement of regulations excluding
matter from the mail, a distinction is to
be made between different kinds of mail
matter-betweeu what is intended to be-
kept Tree from inspection, such as letters
aud se.led packages subject to letter
postage, and what is open to inspection,
such as newspapers, magazines, pam
phlets, and other printed matter, pur-
posely lett in q condition to be exam.
ined. (3) L-.t"rs and sealed packages
subject to letter postage in the mail can
only be open-d aud examined under ike
warrant, ieGued upon similar oath or
affirmation, particularly describing the
thing to be seized as is required when
papers are subjected to search in ones
own household. The constitutional
guarantee Of the right OF the people 20
be secure in their persons against unrea.
sonable searches and seizures extends to
their papers, thus closed against inspec.
ton wherever they may be. (4) Regu.
latons against transportation in the
mail OF printed matter which is omen TO
examination cannot BE enforced so as to
Interfere IN any manner with the free
dom OF the press. Liberty of circulating
IS essential to that freedom. When,
therefore, printed matter is excluded
from the mail, its transportation in any
other way cannot be forbidden by con.
gress. (5) Regulations excluding mat
ter from the mail may be enforced
through the courts upon competent eyi.
dence of their violation obtained in
other ways than by the unlawful inspec.
ton of letters and sealed packages; and
with respect to Objectionable printed
matter, open to examination, they NAV
10 some cases also be enforced by the
direct action Of the officers of the postal
service upon their own inspection, as
where the object is exposed and shows
Enthusiastically that it is prohibited, as in
the case OF an obscene picture or print.
(6) When a party is convicted Of an
o%ffense, and sentenced to pay a 6ne, it is
within the discretion of the court to
order his Imprisonment until the fine is
paid.
The court, therefore, refused to grant
the writs prayed for in Jackson's petit.
