THE CoLoRRD JUBILEE SINGERs.-It has
always been the pleasure Of the INTILLI-
GES6En to help the weak and to encourage
those who prove themselves worthy, and
who strive TO educate themselves, with
out any reference ITO rank or previous
condition." without regard to race,
nationality or color.
It Is gratifying to record growth in
character and worth on the part Of those
who only few years ago were slaves
without any opportunity Of education,
without any encouragement 10 improve
their gifts or graces. In common with
great many oil our citizens we have listen
ed with untold delight to the company of
old Virginia eolored singers un-.
der the management OF L. j. Gate
wood, and have watched their conduct
during their sojourn In Wheeling with
considerable interest. Perhaps no troupe
OF any kind has ever been more closely
watched in this city than the Centennial
Jubilee troupe, which give their farewell
concert at the Opera House tomorrow
night. In every way, however, they
met expectation and sustained themselves.
On coming into Wheeling, January 2ad,
no one seemed inclined 10 take hold Of
them, much less to insure the payment Of
their bills in case they should fail TO do 80.
One Of our ministers was appealed 10 and
his sympathy enlisted, though Il was
prophesied by many that "them darkies
would let him stick for their printing"
Glad are we to chronicle no disappoint-
ment to him neither to the citizens he
intereatad in these former bondsmen.
They have paid all their bills
promptly, and In their dealings at our
otiiceiand job rooms, have been strictly
honest, true to principle and business.like.
Indeed an example OF promptness to many
OF the Caucasian race. At their hotel
also, they have left a good impression by
their uniformly modest, lady.like and gem
tlemaRly demeanor. They have done
good in Wheeling as. well as received ben
eft. The Sunday schools and organiza-
tons for which they gave concerts, so far
rs we have been able 10 learn, have had
their treasures replenished as follows;

equally eficacious, though more
cumbersome and difficult of applica-

to have quickly assumed a healthy

of the disease being stamped out.

as chills and levers are in the western
states, but when it found its way
here it met new subjects for its MUIR
derons work and was tenfold more
fatal. Smallpox is found in all large
cities but does not become epidemic,
its violence has worn of, but let it
get into a tribe of Indians where it
has never been before, and its deadly
work assumeslarge proportions. AS
with man SO it is with animals, let
disease get into flock Of sheep, it
soon kills off number but the rest
recover and all traces of it disappear,
but bring fresh flock of sheep, that
have never had it and mix them with
the old ones and see how soon it will
appear among them. Insect plaques
resemble human diseases.
Forty years ago, after the orange
trees had been Killed by the frost of
1885, they had recovered by succors

ing groves on Amelia Island, St.
Augustine, Fort George Island, Man.
derin, etc. Some one introduced or
lange trees on which were the scale
insect, they spread with wonderful
rapidity all over the State and killed
orange trees by the thousands, doing
more damage than the frost of former
years had done. Orange groves had
not then the value placed on them
that they have now, and evidently
little effort was made to check the
evil and confine it to one spot. Par
asites and other enemies had not ill.,
creased in sufficient numbers to keep
down the scale insect aud they had
full sway over the State. They have
never left it, but although from time
to time few trees may be found in
every grove with it, yet they have
never been able to assume the cpl
demic form. 1t shows us how neces-
sary, therefore, it is to isolate every
new enemy that may appear, and to
endeavor to overcome them, until
nature assumes her sway and brings
other insects p prey on and keep
them in suejectl56. When We, there
fore, call attention to anything of this
kind, it is not because there is any
present cause of alarm, but because
we wish to prevent it in the future.
Prevention is better than cure.

The orange grove should now get
shallow blowing, or run the cultiva-
tor through it taking care not to go
too deep. Mr.. J. Y. Parce, of this
place, has, what is called the f1at.toot

prevent it sinking. Mulch the young
trees with dried grass, drawing it
back every few weeks and raking the
ground. If you have not done so
tertilize with such manures as you
can get with. best advantage. We
prefer good application of bone
meal.
Plant Irish potatoes to get the ad.
vantage of the June market, which is
the best in the north. Sow COW pease,
either as a.mulch for the orange trees
or to turn under. All kinds of vege.
tables can be planted, but after this
month market gardening ceases in a
great measure and only certain pro.
ducts will do well. Plant rice, cot.
ton, corn, imelons, pumpkins, squash,
etc. Plant out cassava cuttings ana

in the center, and gathering the poles

Prevention Better Than Cure.

When large cities have had long
immunity from disease the people
begin to get careless and dispense
precautionary measures, drains are
choked up, cesspools neglected and
sanitary measures laid aside. All of
a sudden some fearful epidemic
makes its appearance, finds the very
location suited to its spreading, and
people die by thousands before it can
be conquered. Diseases are always
most fatal in their FIRST stages, espec-
tally in new countries. Cholera is
as much a common disease in India

The Reason Why.

Sometime back we published a let
ter from one of our northern cores
pondents inquiring the reason why SO
many places were offered for sale in
Florida, and welhave received others
of the like purport since. The reason
is simple and PLAN enough. In the
first place there are always a humble
Of restless people who rush to new
country, but are never satisfied to re-
main in one place any length of time,
they are OH the lookout for place
where they can get rich without
working. In every community there
are some Of these people who after
improving are anxious to sell and go
somewhere else. In the next place
spectators purchase large tracts in
those parts that are likely to be at
tractive, which they cut up into lots
and offer for sale, in many cases they
put some improvements Oh the lots to
increase the value. Again, people
homestead one hundred and sixty
acres of land, and have no need for
more than twenty or forty acres, they
are, therefore, glad to sell the re-
mainder to improve the part on
which they live. In many cases set
tiers have begun orange culture with
out counting the cost and spent their
limited means too profusely at the.
start, they are obliged to sell, but in
very few cases do they do so with
the object Of leaving the State. They
begin again and with the fresh capital
and the experience they have bought,
generally make success ON the Sec
ond venture. There is fascination
about orange culture that very few
people who have once entered on the
business give up entirely. The longer
they live in the country the better
they like it. AT first it appears hard
to a person of limited means, but
when they come to compare their lot
with those in other states, in the same
situation. they feel reconciled and
soon fall into the ways of the people,
and learn how to live by their indus
try in growing plants and fruit suited
to the climate, for at first they waste
much time in experimenting and. try
ing to force things to grow here that
are perfectly unsuited. When they
get the experience they begin to
prosper, that is, if they have any
sense at all. Many who come here
are quite unsuited for any agricultu-
raj life and could not make an orange
grove if they had the treasury at
Washington to draw from; they have
mistaken their vocation. Pioneers
are useful class of people, they
open the way for Others who can pur.
chase their improvements without
having the trouble of doing the first
and hardest work themselves. This
is not peculiar to Florida. Go into
any OF the new states and thousands
will be found ready to sell out, and
commence over again. There are
plenty of people who make a living
by it. Thirty years ago when we Wis.
tied Illinois and wanted to purchase
a farm. there were SO many offered to
us that we were afraid to buy, think
ing that something must be wrong Or
so many people would not want to
sell out. Our correspondents must
not let this scare them from coming
to Florida, if they have money to buy
with it is all the better for them.
