A Leaf From the Early History o
FLORIDA.

Al q lcCGuIc Ill tuS Olu OUT QuEC0
Boston, on the Early History of Ameri.
ca, John Fiske gave the following &C
count of the first settlement of Florida
Every q knows that st. Augustine
in Florida is the oldest town in the
United States, and that it was founded
by the Spaniards in 1865. but it may not
be so generally remembered that its
founding was with q deed of blood as
appalling as anything recorded in histo-
ry. The first considerable scene in the
annals Of what is now the United States
was the ~perfdious massacre of a Hupue-
not colony by Spanish bigots. Fifty.
eight years before the arrival of the
English Puritans at Plymouth, q party OF
French Huguenots, under the leadership
of Jean Ribaut, a Huguenot of Dieppe,
set sail from Havre for the purpose OF
founding a colony in America. They
reached the coast of Florida, May /,
1862, and skirted the shore until they
reached and named Port Royal in what is
now South Carolina. Ribaut left 80 men
in q fortress which they built on their
arrival, and went to France for supplies;
but their return asdelayed, and the men,
suffering from hunger and hardship,
built a rude vessel and started for home;
they. suffered great agonies, and were
finally captured by the English when
just off the French coast, and carried
prisoners to London. In 1864 another
expedition, under Rene de Laudonniere.
set out for Florida. The new expe-
dition landed at the mouth of the St.
John river and built a fort which was
called Fort Caroline, in honor of Charles
TX. Some of the party grew FESTIVE,
and seizing two pinnaces became buc-
cancers. They were captured off the
Cuban coast, and to save themselves
betrayed the little colony at Fort Caro-
line. This colony was destroyed by
Pedro MenendeE and the people put to
death in cold blood, after having been
promised safety in case of surrender.
This terrible blow was the end of the
Huguenot colony in Florida. The mas
sacre was perpetrated during a season of
peace between France ard Spain, but
France, afraid of the terrible Philip H.,
dared not resent the insult. It was made
q personal matter by Dominique de
GOurgues, a noble Gascon, who sold his
family estate and borrowed money with
which he fitted out three vessels and en-
listed two hundred men, under the pre-.
tence of an expedition for kidnapping
negroes. They turned toward Florida,
and in March, 1868, they came to anchor
forty miles off st. Johns river. He was
Joined by q large number of Indians,
who had grown to hate Menendez with
q vindictive hatred. They focked to
G~ourgues' standard in such numbers
that ne at once undertook to overwhelm
the Spanish garrison; the march was
conducted with great secrecy and celeri-
ty, and the Spaniards were completely
surprised. OF the whole Spanish force
not a man escaped the sword, except
fifteen or twenty, who were hanged on
the same tree where Menendez had hung
the Huguenots. The fort was demoi.
ished, and his work of revenge COM
pleted Gourgues set sail for France.

Judge Davis.
Peoria Democrat I

The Chicago Times, of Thursday, comes
out strong for Judge David Davis for
president, Davis has been the Times
candidate since 1872, so the move is no
new thing Now, Davis is not our first,
nor second, nor third choice; but, il he
were nominated, on the right platform, we
could heartily support him. And, what
Is more, if Davis were nominated by the
democratic national convention, on an ac-
coptabe platform, he would be elected by
popular and an electoral majority that
would render useless and im potent all
attempts to count hun out Had Davis
been nnmlU ed at Cincinnati 1872 in
stead of Greeley, he would have been
elected then; had he been nominated a.
st, Louis In 1876, he would have been
elected in spite of tho returning boards in
the south.
Davis Is not our man; but Davis can be
elected by the democracy, and in the
event OF his fair nomination his election
would be torgone conclusion against any
man whom the republicans could put up.
Grant and Conkling not excepted We
could carry solid west for Davis on
the right platform. Judge Davis would
make a digni6ed, conscientious, courtly
president. 1t would be like getting back
to the earlier days of the republic. Of
his ability to maintain his popularity to he
end OF his term, why, that is another
question. The Times advocacy of Davis is
entirely on personal grounds, or from
motives OF personal admiration; for Davis
has views on some questions 10 direct
antRgOnlsm to those OF the Times
