> New Florida Enterprise.

Science in its rapid and progressive
march, bids fair to utilize all the produc-
tions Of mother earth, even those now
considered most useless and noxious.
Heretofore the common saw or scrub
palmetto, has been considered one of
the most worthless productions Of the
Florida soil, and has been regarded as
the curse of all farmers who were so IN
fortunate as to possess lands overrun by
it. But now, thanks to the research of
an inventive genius, Prof. J. B. Heron,
OF Washington, this hitherto noxious
shrub is being converted into source
OF profit, and will soon rank among the
staple productions Of Florida. Mr.. Her
ron has discovered and patented pro-
cess tor making paper from the leaf and
leaf stems of the palmetto. which posses
SEES several advantages over any paper
made in the United States. By one pro-
cess he makes sized paper, the palme.-
to possessing g quality which sizes the
paper without the addition Of the usual
ingredients used by manufacturers Tor
sizing. He also makes paper closely
resembling vellum, which can be washed
without injury.
Mr.. H. E. Linville, of this city, has
the contract for supplying the factory,
which is situated at Hollyoke, Mass.
and has already shipped four tons,. At
present the material is simply cured,
similar to the curing of hay, then baled
and shipped. Within short time mills
will probably be established here for
reducing the stems and leaves to a fiber,
thus converting it into form more east
~ handled and transported. Our island
has sufficient quantity of palmetto on
its surface to supply the market for some
time to come.--F6ra0ndin Express.

A Nice Little Story.

Apropos of an item of news which
comes all the way from Italy, and is 10
the effect that Mrs. John Lorrimer Ora.
ham, wife, now widow of our former
consul to Florence, is about to marry
her first husbands Italian secretary,
there ia little story. Mrs. Lorrimer
was before her marriage Miss Josephine
Garner, daughter of the millionaire
proprietor of numerous great cotton
manufactures. Mr. Graham belonged to
a good family, but had no fortune, and
was occupying the position of confdsn-
tial clerk in Mr. Garner's Office, when he
married his daughter. At the time of q
business crisis abcu, 1852, When no :naa
felt safe, Mr.. Garner, as q precautionary
measure, placed 100000 in his son-in-
laws keeping, not as q gift, but
in trust against possible contingencies.
Those possibilities became realities. Mr.
Garner failed, but relied on his reserve
fund to begin life anew. He applied to
his son-in-law for the money, but Mr..
John Lorrimer Graham declined to re-
linguish it. He had it, and he was de.
tegmined to keep it.
Very WE'LL" remrrEed MIR. Garner,
II have as much energy, Us much pluck,
US much perseverance as ever l had. I
shall go into business again; I shall
make money but remember you have
got ali you will ever get from me-" He
kept his word. He did 60 into business
again; he succeeded so as to le.ve when
he died, few years ago q fortune of
several millions behind him. One mill
lion of dollars of this money was left to
his daughter Josephine after her hus-
barI's death. Before that event she
could not to, / it.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Graham lived abroad.
and entertained magnificently ON the in.
terest of the 100000 and the insignifi-
cant salary of United States consul.
One year ago Mr. Graham died, and his
widow came in for her million, which Is
now tc be shared by the handsome and
gentlenianly secretary of her late hus-
band Baltimore Anierican

OATMEAL.-In Great Britain children
os Gil ranks are raised oTi oatmeal diet
alone, because it causes them TO g.cT,
strong and beautiful, and no better food
can possibly be found for them. It is
also quite as desirable for the student as
for the laborer, and for the delicate lady
and'her Woodworking sister; indeed. al
classes would be greatly benefited by its
use, and dyspepsia, with ell its manifold
annoyances, can be kept at distance.
Oatmeal is more substantial food, it ia
said, than veal, pork, or lamb, giving as
much or more mental vigor, whi.e its
great deaidcratum, consists in ones not
becoming wary Of it, for it is as welcome
for breakfast or q: tea as Is wheat or Rra-
ham bread. IL can be eaten with syrup
end butter as hasty pudding. or with
cream ,and sugar like rice. It 10 especi-
ally good for young mothers, upon whose
nervOna forces too great a demand has
been made, and they lose the equilibrium
of the system and become depressed and
dispirited. Oatmeal requires to be cooked
slowly, and the water should be boiling
hot when it is stirred in. =

SouTH CAROLINA RA1LRoAD.-An
effort is making to have a receiver ap-
pointed for the South Carolina Railroad
Company on the ground, among othare,
that the men now in charge of It are un-
skillful and inefficient. From the COM
pany's reports, however, lis misfortnnes
seem TO be owing rather to uncomfortable
circumstances than 20 bad management.
With sharp. competition at numerous
vital points, end 8 consequent decrease
of gross earnings from 81 400, 900 in 1878
to 81 ,020, 900 in 1877, the per centage Of
operating expensea has been reduced from
62 per cent. of the earn ,in 1873 to
90 per cent. in 1877; SO that the net
earnings in 1877 were $427, 600 against
$576. GOO in 1873. This showlsS, more
over, 10 better than that of the Georvia
and Central Railroade. both of which are
regarded as among the best managed
roads IN the neighborhoad. tits difficult
to see how arecetver could do any better
with the property, and if ons Il appointed
it TilI probably be for other reasons than
those of economy. Neso York SIN.

PREcocIoUs GIRLs.-An old d.fasbioned
notion that the simplest plan is to bring
all the young people together, and let
them amuse themselves, turns out to be
a complete failure. This is not all what
is expected, and even their parents are
disappointed with the fiasco. That an
elaborate toilet should end in blind.man's
buff Is intolerable; and SO O chilaren's
party only differs from full. dress ball
In the height Of the dancers. The little
lady starts for her nights dissipation
she. che ought to be in bed, and has the
cares of maturity early on her mind, leat
her card should not be filled up in the
evening. She reproduces the talk Of her
mothers boudoir in the ball room, and
can criticise the dress of her Wis avis
after the best models of well-bred dls-
paragemont. She distinguishes between
the dreamy pleasures Of a waltz aud the
more athletic enjoyment of galop. She
