placed in responsible positions whom the
United States Government had discharged for
cheating. In the County Clerks Office there
are three clerks. whose appointment was
wholly unauthorized by law. Another clerk,
at higher salary than these received, does
not spend i've minutes a day at his post and
still another is not on duty twenty minutes a
day. Right here Mr.. Bliss was suddenly in
terrupted by young person in the room
who ayowed that he was the person first re-
ferred to- and denied the truth OF Dir. Biisss

to have been mentioned, the cap must have
fitted very snugly. The incident suggests the
probability that Mr.. Bliss knew what he was
talking about. We hope the Board listened
diligently.
The poor Indian may be a person of untu-
tored mind, but in one instance. at least, he
has developed business ability that would do
him credit on the Rialto, and an exalted
opinion of the value of real estate which
would fit him for active service as salesman
to Pine-st. agent. Two of the great rail-
roads of the Northwest ARE anxious to buy the
right of way through the Sioux Reser-
walton, and conferences have been ar
ranged in Washington between the represen-
tatives of the railroad companies and of the
tribes. The companies offered nearly 50 an
acre for all the land they needed, which, az
was carefully explained to the Indians, was
nearly four times what the Government re-
ceived for its wild lands. But one of the
chiefs, by some mysterious process, had fixed
upon $1,000 900 as the sum to be paid for
the land-perhaps, because he knew the mys-
tic value of the number seven, and felt sure
there were millions III the speculation-and
refused to be moved from that magnih-
cent position. At this figure, the com
panies would pay more than $4,000
mile for their lands. -Four Bears

the shipping season retrigerators are
run on the various transportation
lines from Jacksonville, and other
points or the st. Johns, to the
Northern markets.
For home market it Is not nec-
essary that the berries be picked as
green, or that as much pains be taken
in asserting, though care will pay
even here. Instead of putting into
refrigerators the quart baskets should
be packed in we'll ventilated crates,
holding sixteen quarts each; they
should be sent at once to market.
Strawberry culture is now an es-
tablished industry, especially upon
the lower St. Johns from this Sec
ton thousands of quarts are annually
shipped to Northern markets, in re-
trigerators especially prepared for
the purpose. The berries can be
perfected so easily in this State, that
the Florida growers have the exclu-
sive control of the market for seve-
raj weeks, insuring very high price,
and they bring fair return even for
a much longer time. AS with gar
