MARION, 5. &. Dec. 22 1877
Messrs 4. f. AferrH & Co., Philadelphia, Pa:
Gentlemen-Some three years ago was
taken with something like asthma The at
tacks at first came at night, and whilst
asleep 1t would awake me, and would
have to get up and sit up till it would wear
of. These attacks became more and more
frequent, and increased more and more in
violence until the spring Of 1876, when they
became alarming. had to sit up most of
the nights, could not breathe in any other
position, and not in sitting position with
ont very painful difficulty. 1t was attended
with very bad cough. The ex pectorations
were of n white frothy character and very
tough / became very weak and feeble.
My physician did what he could, bit to lit.
tie purpose. Ifhe knew what allied me, he
kept 1t concealed from me. I, however, was
satisfied that the dread disease of cons,lnp.
ton was fast setting in upon my lungs.
irovldentially saw the recommendation
Flower Syrup, and having known him for
years, and also of his physical infirmities. |
determined to make trial Of the Syrup. I
bought bottle and commenced taking it as
per directions. l felt sensation of relief
after the first dose (taken ut night, but had
to get up before day and sit up rs usual. |
continued to take through the next day as
directed and at night before retiring.
have not had to get up since 1 continued
to take it regularly until took three bot
ties. The cough gradually subsidized
breathing became clear and easy, and for
twelve months have been in perfect health
no cough, no asthmetic affection, and
cheerfully attribute my cure to the use of
the Globe Flower Sprup, and would recon-
mend it to all similarly afflicted. NV
official and professional labors are particu.
larly straining to the lungs, but 1 am per-
fectly sonnd and well, and have no symp-
toms of any lung disease. l keep some of
tho Syrup OH hand, and perhaps once
month take a dose of it, which l think
keeps the lungs vigorous and healthy.
l have been thinking for some time that
would add my testimony to tie virtues of
the Globe Flower Syrup, and now take oc
casion to do SO; and if you can make any
use of the above 80 as to benefit the suffer-
ing everywhere, you arc at liberty to do 80.

The political press has exercised an
influence as wide as the extent of our
country. 1t has circulated moral
and political truths which have in
formed our voting population of the
necessities of political issues. It has
guided the statesman along the path
way Of political duty. Its editorial
columns have been sustained by won
derful talent, learning and virtue. 1t
has sustained the upright public men
who deserve office and station for the
good of the country. and often it's
whitening scorn has driven the driv-
cling politician-the reckless adven-
turer on human rights, in proper
shame and ignominy to the shades of
private life. 1t has exposed the cor
ruptions of the bench and the bar, and
done incalculable service in sustain
ing moral principle in every depart
ment Of life. The highest talent in
the country in senator's and lawyers,
scholars and authors, have graced its
columns, and every one that reads
our mother tongue feels the daily
and weekly papers indispensable to
his comfortable living. There are
instances Of weak, inefficient newspa-
pers, issuing from an occasional press,
but the virtue and talent of the
editorial corps and the Indignation of
the better class Of readers have soon
consigned them to oblivion.
Gentlemen .of the press association,
the vast benefit you have been to the
country, history attests Your past
usefulness and the constant necessity
in every branch Of society, in every
department of life, demands in the
editorial column your accustomed
talent and virtue, and if properly ex-
ercised the whole country will owe
you that debt of gratitude which can
only be paid by the love and admir-
ration of an enlightened, virtuous and
atfectionate people.

INDIAN RIVER AND IT'S
RESOURCES.
.EEtor F7orida A0ica1tturist:

-E,T;tor F2orida Agricathwist:
We did intend to have replied to
to your Philadelphia correspondent
giving him information regarding
Indian River, as he asked tor,
but an excess of work has caused us
to neglect it, and we still fail to
find the time necessary. We have
in fact written up the peculiarities of
this section so often, that it is an old
story to us, and consequently an irk-
some task. In the F20ri1@ Ne,c
Yorker for both June and July 1877,
we think, is a full and explicit de-
scription of the" Indian river section,
and we doubt not your correspondent
could yet obtain a copy. We will
now simply answer his leading ques-
tions briefly. The waters of the riv-
er are salt; no tide beyond twenty
five miles from the Inlet; length 40
miles, width from one to six miles /;
depth twelve feet, nine feet of water
at the Inlet, opposite old Fort Cap
ron. Lands generally high, alterna-
ting between pine and hammock
Our summers are cool and pleasant.
This day we all pronounce exceed
ingly hot, as our usual daily breeze
has not sprung up yet, and we find
the thermometer reaches 90'. Our
hottest weather this summer thus far
has been 950, for a few hours or so
last month. Give us nothing to do,
and we can keep cooler during the
summer here, than in any section OF
country we have ever seen. :,
Despite the horrible and "ott told
The Florida agriculturist., 1878-07-24

tales that our st. Johns friends re-
gale the new corners with, our popu-
lation continues to increase. Several
sales have lately been made, and sew.
eral valuable acquisitions have conse-
quently been added to our census re-
turns. While many of them are
planting groves, yet nearly all in
tend to invest pretty largely in pine
apples. This most delicious fruit is
now in season, and could you have
helped us eaten one we had to day,
you would readily believe the asser-
tion that Indian river will soon be-
come as much noted for its pine ap-
pies as it now is for its oranges. [
fear however that l shall have to re-
tract the assertion made in my last
letter regarding the number Of plants
to be set this season. The Magurder
Bros returned from Key Largo q,
week ago, without any slips, and re-
ported none to be had. The frost
last winter injured Capt. Barker's
plantation to such an extent, that no
plants are i'll the market this season.
Dir. Myers, who accompanied the
Magurder Bros, proceeded to Mas
sua however, and expects to bring a
load from there, and if successful, we
may Yet get goodly supply Of
plants.
by the way the printer made sew
eFal blunders in my last letter, the
most noteworth one of which, is call
ing Meritt's island, Mosquito island.
No doubt but he has got Indian riv
er and mosquitoes inextricablv
mixed, but it is mistake, we have
none of the pests here this summer
worth talking about, not enough to
ssSyale a lazy man busy brlshiuc tho.
and we are going to have plenty Of
them, as well as every one else who
has been here long enough. In two
weeks we will have plenty ripe, and
they will last until Jan. lst. we hope.
Jelly and marmalade will soon be in
order. Ex. ALBANIAN.

THE FOURTH OF july, 1878.
An Address Delivered Before the
Press Association Of Florida, at
DeLand, by Judge VIM.
Archer Cooke.
Continued from last week

The manner Of dealing with eccle-
siastical questions-of the utmost i'm
portance in republican government
was properly and safely adjusted
by the wisdom of those who sepa-
rated State from Church, and made
that happy and lasting union between
civil liberty and selfgoyernment,
which was to that time unknown to
the Jurisprudence of any age or
country.
Self Government, in political
sense, is phrase largely used on
both sides of the Atlantic, and con
veys an idea in political philosophy
worthy of the deepest consideration.
Individual liberty consists, in a
great measure, in politically acknowl-
edged self-reliance; and selfgoy-
ernment is the sanction of selfreli-
ance and self.determination in the
various minor and larger circles in
which government acts, and of which
il consists. .Self-governmenti is found
to take care of their own affairs, and
the absence Of that disposition which
looks to the general government for
everything; as well as on the will
ingness in each to let others take care
of their own affairs. Self-govern-
ment implies selfinstruction, not only
at the first setting out of government,
but as a permanent principle of polit-
cal life
Self government means everything
for the people, and by the people,
considered as the totality OF organic
institutions, constantly evolving in
their character, as all organic life Is.
but not dictatorial multitude. Die
tation is the rule of the army, not OF
liberty it is the obstruction of indi-
siduality" Lieber, Civil Liberty and
4Self-government.
Daniel Webster said in his Fan
euiT Hall speech, May %, 1852:
'' But l say to you and to our whole
country, and to all the crowned heads
and aristocratic powers and feudal
systems that exists that it is TO self
government, the great principles OF
popular representation and admins
tration-the system that lets in all to
participate in the counsels that are to
assign the good or evil to all-that
we NAV owe what we are and what
we hope to be"
This does not mean that the people
can DO no wrong, nor does it sustain
the insufferable absurdity OF phrase
.'vox populi. vox DEL but it means,
selfgovernment requires politically
in bodies, that selfrule which moral
selfcovernment requires of the indi-
vidual. 1t is restraint but not weak
ness; it is the strength Of self-denial
an attribute of power, controlled by
virtue and wisdom. Let these prin
4,iples prevail, and our government i.
strong internally and externally, and
will be felt and sustained at home
and recognized abroad.
III discussing the philosophy o
American history it would be inJus
tice to the life of the subject not tc
notice the influence OF the religious
element on our national develop
ment.

MASSHLOM,

The tramp has occupied much of the public at
tenton for the past ten days and in a sort of
"well see about it, game with the authorities
came out behind. To begin with fifteen tramps
were arrested and brought before the Mayor for
punishment They were ordered to work on the
road, and five of them escaped the first day AT
terwards chain gang was organized and five
men put to work, only two of whom earned a
warm supper, the others refusing to work were
supped on bread and water, One of the tramps
bull headed euss refused to carry his ball to the
lookup in the evening and was kept standing in
the street under guard until he succumbed at 8
o'clock in the morning. The same fellow was
doused with cold water at Mansfield for refusing
to work, but that didn't .succeed-probably be-
cause the water failed to reach the tramp proper
through his exterior of dirt.
A mine boss named shroCk at Fulton had his
legs both run over by coal car, Friday, but will
recover without having them amputated.
VIM. Cox, a tramp, was arrested Saturday eve.
ming while attempting to force an entrance into a
colored mans dwelling He was given his choice
between paying a fine and working with the chain
gang, and strange to SAY he paid $3.50 and left
town.

THE STOLEN GooDs.-0ur readers will recollect
that Saturday night, July 9th, the residence Of
John E, Reynolds was burgarized. The follow
ing Wednesday afternoon Marshal Lennon, of
Mansfield, captured tramp who gave the name
of William Anderson, with large amount of sil.
yer plate, &C., cut and pounded into worthless
mass. The officer had been notified Of the Ray
nolds burglary, and Immediately telegraphed.
Marshal Webb Of this city, who brought the pris-
Oner to Canton Thursday. He was given pre-
liminary examination Friday morning, plead not
guilty and was bound over. Because Of suspic-
ous actions Marshal Webb was led to believe that
his man had committed some other crime and
might be wanted elsewhere, he therefore led Mr.
Anderson before camera and now carries him
about on card ready for inspection, Anderson
says he comes from Chicago, The silver pitcher.
silver vases, napkin rings, spoons and forks were
cut into many pieces, doubled over and pounded
together, in order to reduce the bulk. The spec
tacles razor, gold penholder and a quantity
of stamps were wrapped in a newspaper, and
these articles, together with the kid gloves, a
knife, handkerchief or two, were wrapped in a
large white silk handkerchief, which was In Mr.
VIM. Raynoldss overcost, stolen the same night
from Mrs. Lester's hall. The oveIcoat Is still
missing. The tramp was wearing the boots stolen
from Mr.. Reynolds when captured, and In the
face Of all this evidence he plead not guilty.
