M LEGISLATIVE REPORTS.

If mistakes creep into the Legislative
reports as published in the daily papers,
the Legislative reporters alone win be
responsible. The Senate reports, as re-
ceived at the GAZETTE ONCE are written
in a tolerably decent hand, but the
House reports are ''fearfully and won
derfully made" The chirography is al
most undecipherable, and compared
with it the famous scrawls of the late
Horace Greeley look like the ch oisest
lit press Productions. 1t is wonderful
how men pretending to have know
ledge of the chirograpmc alphabet can
produce such miserable scrn " l.; but they

A Wise Acre.

Fl. A. j., a correspondent of the
Jacksonville Sun and Press, accuses
us of giving false information regard
ing the profits OF pineapple growing,
and deceiving the public. 1t is a
pity that he had not posted himself
better in this matter before trying to
haul us over the Goals and exposing
his own ignorance. 1t is men of that
class who try to stop all advance in
a community, never doing anything
themselves to add to the prosperity
of the country, but condemning all
efforts of others to do so. We never
make statement that we cannot sup
port by good authority and when we
want aid we so to better authority
than H. A. J. Some years back it
was stated that strawberries would
not answer here, and yet we are
shipping now large quantities of that
fruit. H. A. J. says he can buy pine
apples at from 10 cents to SO cents,
so he can during the shipping season
and he can often purchase strawber-
ries in the north at ten cents per
quart but those are not what we send
off. Our semi-tropical climate enables
us TO place things in the market at
the time they are out of season in the
north and enables our people to get
the best prices. When we stated the
price at which pine-apples could be
sold we had the best authority for
doing so. "Simmonds in his work
on Tropical agriculture mentions the
prices we quoted as those paid in
England for pines from St. Michael.

1t is too late tor the counties OF
Orange and Volusia to unite in fair
In this connection the South Florida
Journal says:
1t is not 100 late however for them
to enter into friendly competition for
premiums, as the rules of the Orange
county Fair Association permit and
desire, and we hope our sister county
will do this, as it will tend to stir our
own people up to greater exertions,
to prevent Volusia from carrying off
all the honors. 1t is friendly rivalry
and competition of this character
that makes a fair interesting and con-
sequently success. So pitch i'll Or
arge; pitch in Volusia; pitch in 9th
ers, and let us have a friendly rival
ry, a big old time generally and a
fair that will bring dozen steamers
loaded with visitors from down the
river 1t can be done if our people
will only throw off their Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep and 60 to work.

The Cold Snap.

The cold weather that has prevailed
for some days back, has been univer-
sally severe in the north. In Florida
snow fell in Fernandina and other
parts of the State, and in Jacksonville
icicles hung from the houses and trees
Tor three days. From what we can
learn, very little damage has been
done by the freeze. The orange
trees had been prepared, by the pre-
vious cold weather, to Withstand a
mach greater degree of cold, the
sap having descended, and the bark
hardened up. At this place, even
young lemon trees in the open air es-
capped uuinjured, although q little ice
formed on two nights.

The Hilbert Pea.

We have received some of the
above peas, grown by DR.. Bishop of
Sylvan Lake, Orange county, and as
we suspected from the description
previously received, found them the
real HILBERT pea of Jamaica. DR..
Bishop in his letter to us, dated Dec.
28th says:
" If they are planted with any care
they are certainly a blessing to this
country. They need good advantages
for climbing, they will go twelve feet
high, and if they cannot get up will
not do much. Ny vines are still
bearing and we are eating from them
now. 10, Is or 20 peas planted and
cared for, are better than many neg
lected."
We can vouch for the value of this
pea, having grown them in the
West Indies, and there they are con
sidered more prolific than any other
pea and equal in delicacy to the best
Lima bean. We thank DR.. Bishop for
his kindness in responding to our de-
sire to get some samples.

What the Papers Say Of it.


We wish to see the present State
Fair made a grand success, for the
last State Fair, so called, was such
miserable failure that something is
required to redeem our credit. The
citizens of Gainesville are quite pre-
pared to give a cordial welcome to all
who attend the fair. The Neacs OF
that city says
Let us rejoice From all direc-
tions resound good news Of prepare
ton to make the State Fair at
Gainesville, fair worth travelling
hundreds Of miles to see. And we
doubt not multitudes will travel
many hundreds of miles to see the
display our fair State can make. The
great point aimed at will be, not the
attraction of the people Of all quar-
tiers of the union here to give custom
to the city, but to attract imm lgra-
ton to the whole State by exhibiting
the resources and productions OF
every portion. We see that in Hills
borough, Monroe, and other counties,
there is 4sganized plan and effort to
show the. capacities and specialties Of
those sections. Pensacola and Apal-
achicola should do the same thing.
Through this Fair, the extremes OF
the State will and ought to be
brought nearer together and made
more homogeneous. Then we should
see no such articles in the public
prints which we have read with a sort
of pain, pressing the argument for
cession of West Florida to Alabama.
A common and patriotic interest In
the State Fair will make such a di-
vision of the State an imposslbility
and as undesirable as it will become
impossible.
The writer was born in that an
cient burgh, Pensacola, and he takes
it on himself to invite the citizens OF
Escambia to come over to the State
Fair at Gainesville, with a full cargo
of exhibits, and sending greeting to
the military corps in Pensacola makes
procsamsltisn that !" the Gainesville
Guards I" are painting for an oppor-
tunity to throw at their feet the gage
of contest for the prize offered to the
best drilled company in the State.
The sports as well as the sight-see-
ing will be stirring feature in the
daily programme at the Fair, and in
the city. A great many natives are
personally unacquainted with this
section and it's growth, and the char
acterand good qualities oftheir fellow
citizens in this vicinage. 1t will do
them good to come and see us and
our attractive surroundings. We
are all your cousins, and you will feel
at home among us. 1t is natural
that we should like to have all of
Florida to come and see us. We are
proud of our capital city, but prouder
of our county, and our enterprising
citizens. Come over and look at
them.
We had. almost forgotten to say
that the pleasures and conclusions
our visitors to the State Fair may
have and carry away may depend, in
a very large measure, on the good
citizens of our county making large
and varied contributions to the Fair
exhibits. Let nothing hinder you
from putting in your productions,
curiosities and specimens of stock.
Be sure that all will be welcomed
The exhibitions from the State at
large will not lessen attention to
what you bring forward"
