A Remarkable Spring.

0pelousas Democrat.
While boating in the Wakulla
Spring, Florida, u lady dropped IA
ring from her finger, aud it could
be seen sinking in the clear water.
When near the bottom a trout was
seen to dart for it, swallow it and
disappear. An ingenious fellow
borrowed another ring, fastened 1t
to u hook and fshed for the trout.
After paying out ninety feet of line
he was successful, the trout was
hauled to the surface, cut open, aud
the ring taken out.-Erchange.
This story is not at all lmproba.
BILE. The writer of this paragraph
knows all about this famous and
most extraordinary spring, having
visited it a short time after the
close of the war. The spring is al.
most round in shape, and covers an
area of about ten acres. 1t is some
800 feet deep, aud tue water so
clear, transparent and magnifying
that the smallest pebble at the bot
tom eau be distinctly seen with the
naked eye. But the strangest pc
culiarity of its water is the fact
that you caunot see ii unless dis
turbed by . splash. When dipped
out into q cup or bucket it looks
like any other clear water, but IN
the spring we defy anybody to see
it. Standing upon its brink you
look down, as it were, into % vast
precipice, with numerous fish of
every variety and dimension float
ing about in the air just under you.
The sight is a strange and dizzy
one, and makes a man feel as
though something unnatural, or
rather supernatural, lay stretched
out before him.

In Galveston, as elsewhere in
Texas, when u prisoner has no
money to employ counsel, the Judge
appoints young lawer to defend
the doomed man, very much as the
pauper patients in a hospital are
turned over to the young doctor to
learn the profession OH. Not long
since quite n young lawyer was
appointed to defend u man for
burglary. The young lawyer, after
consulting with his unfortunate eli.

Our Gulf Ceast as n Health Re
sort.
N. o. Timss.

N. o. Times.
1t has been fashionable with
Northern people, for several years
past, TO resort to Florida in the
winter for their health, when to go
to that region meant going where
they would be cut of from the bal
ance of the world at the mercy of
the local spectators, hotel keepers
and country doctors. We know
all about Florida and its sdvan-
tages SO far as health and comfort
are concerned, aud therefore have
no hesitation in asserting that our
Mississippi sound shore, from Bay
st. Louis to Ocean Springs, offers
more advantages to invalids than
can possibly be found in any part
of Florida; and SO far as civiliza-
tion and comfort of living are con-
cerned, is infinitely superior in
every respect. Our Mississippi
sound coast is backed by pine for
csts for hundreds OF miles, contains
no swamps, (between the points
mentioned,) and is washed on its
front by the Gulf of Mexico. Thus
it has every condition for the resto.
tion of invalids. Besides these ad-
vautages, any part of it is within
four hours run to New Orleans, the
gayest city in America in the win
ter season, where the best and most
experienced physicians can be had,
where all else that an invalid may
require can be obtained, and so the
sojourner's life can be BEAUTIFULLY
varied and his spirits kept up.
Several lines OF railroad connect
with these gulf shore places, and
people can reach them without
change of car, or go home when
they desire 10 do SO with equal IA
cility.
Our gulf coast towns have never
been properly represented at the
North. 1t they had been we should
have long since seen them filled
with residents from that inclement
region. They are the most com.
Portable and healthy places in the
Union-summer and wiuter-and
it is time that the world knew it.
The world is losing time and money
by not knowing these facts.

MoDiie Register.
A correspondent asks the Regis.
ter to tell him what kind of sheen
the Dorset is. Referring to the
best authorities at our command
we find that the breed of sheep
known as the Dorsets have from
time immemorial existed in the
county Of Dorset, England. Form
erly this breed extended over q
large tract of country. They pos
sess small horns, common TO the
male and female. Their wool is of
medium quality, and the fleece
weighs about four pounds to the
animal. The wethcrs fatten at
three years OF age to about eight
cen pounds per quarter; this, how
ever, is increased to almost double
that weight in the richer pastures
OF Somerset, where the sheep is
known as the plnk.nosed Somerset.
Their mutton is very good, but the
property which remarkably dlstin.
guishes them from the other breeds,
is the fecundity of the females.
They have been known to produce
twice a year. The tall lambs come
in October and will be ready for
use ut Christmas. Forthis purpose
either the Southdown or Leicester
male is used, so that the lambs
will be of larger size than could be
had from the pure breed; the
crosses make excellent lambs, as
the Dorsets are the best of moth.
ers.
In the vicinity of London, and
the large towns and cities of Bug.
land, these lambs are considered o
great luxury, commanding high
prices from Christmas TO Easter.
With this breed the flock master
can have lambs nearly the whole
year round. For raising the lambs
IN winter, farmers have houses built
GU purpose, the lambs being too
tender to run out. Glover, rouen,
oatmeal and turnips are freely fed.
1t is this capability of producing
early lambs which has preserved
this breed from extinction, aud it is
found but in a few places except
where it is kept for lambs. The
purest of the race are:found about
Dorchester.
