About Postal Cards.

Ner York Tribune.
The Malone Carmichael Vance
postal card business, with the large
amount of talk and telegraphlng
which it has produced, has caused a
recollection OF the forgotten fact that
it is against the regulations OF the
post office department for clerks to
read postal cards. When their curl
osity gets the better of their discre-
ton, and they do read, they are liable
TO a fine of not less than 500 and
not more than $1,000. This reminds
us OF the unspeakable absurdity OF
sending postal card with anything
written upon it which all the world,
as we'll as the person 10 whom it is
addressed, may not read. To forward
anything CT secret mature In that
way is no better than getting upon
house top to blab the dearest secret
of ones soul through a speaking
trumpet OF telephone powers. Moths
ing should be written upon postal
card which everybody may Tot read;

Perseverance.

From an Exchange.
Do you see that man with little
hammer assailirg that huge granite
bowlder He has struck hundred
times on the solid rock, and left
hardly a mark. Shall he stop !?
No. He saw the rock split from
the outset. Down the blows rain
blow after blow-when 10 ! in a mo-
ment the huge mass is rent from
top to bottom. Let such be our
faith, and works of faith. God gives
the hammer, and there is the granite.
Strike in his name, and in his
strength. Strike cheerfully, strike
patiently, strike necessarily. and the
teeblest blows shall cleave the hard
est rock.

and this every we'll bred person
understands. The cards were never
intended TO, correspondence of a
private kind. To be sure, no person
not under the dominion of morbid
curiosity ever thinks OF reading one
of them not addressed to him; but
there are those who cannot restrain
themselves, but must read or die.
Correspondents will do we'll to re-
member the existence ofthis curious
class; and IN case of danger or doubt,
either use envelopes or write IN
parable or cipher.

Good Advice from a Leading Medical
Professor.

Good Advice from a Leading Medical
Professor.
A learned man says: "Keep some kind
of tonic medicine always in the house,
and if anyone feels unwell, make free
use of it. But first be sure that it is
both harmless as we'll as meritorious.
Put no trust in alcoholic preparations;
their use will lead to intemperance;
neither be partial to any remedy that
produces a severe carthartic effect, for
prostration of the nervous system and
digestive organs is sure to follow. The
mildest and best medicine ever invented
for strengthening every part of the body
and restoring impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition, and
one which is having an unparalleled
and rapidly increasing sale in the East~
ern States, is Browns Iron Bltters.
Any druggist will procure it for you if
you request him to do so, especially
when he finds you cannot be persuaded
to take some substitute. 1t does not
contain alcohol, and is the only prepa-
ration of Iron that does not blacken the
teeth. 1t is a sure reviver, a true
strengthened, and the very best medi>
cine ever invented for permanently
strengthening the pulmonary, urinary
and digestive organs, and preventing
consumption, kidney diseases and
chronic dyspepsia, often curing these
diseases when all other remedies have
failed; for it is truly natures best as
sistant. '-GdzGtte.

COcOanut GrOyes.

Key Uest Democrat.
In answer to numerous letters and
several little squrbs which we have
noticed in our exchanges we Will
print this little item upon cocoannts.
Mr. Charley Maioney was the first
that started grove Of this fruit upon
this coast. About three years since
he planted twenty>six hundred and
forty cocoanuts and every one OF
them lived and are doing well. Some
of them are now twelve feet high
and are a sight OF unparalleled beau
ty. When planted only few OF
them were Sprouted. A cocoanut
tree at twelve years of age will pro-
duce from three to tour hundred nuts;
and on an average they seldom ex~
coed this, be they II or 20 years old.
Say this lesser amount, 800 nuts at
three cents apiece at the grove, which
is an exceeding low price and his
grove OF 2,640 trees, will be the hand.
some sum of S23, 760. At one cent
apiece, which would be $500 per
tree, they would pay him yearly ST..
920 while the cost OF cultivating the
grove is comparatively nothing.
When one views these figures they
will not be surprised at the interest
manifested by Lieut..Gov. Bethel,
Mr.. Filler, Mr.. Fogarty, Col. Patter-
son and Others in planting a cocoa
nut grove upon the Florida keys.
The cost OF bringing a cocoaDut
grove into bearing is nothing CONS
pared TO bringing the same number
of orange trees into bearing; and
none of the danger from insects or
cold, which of,entimes is in the way
! OF orange groves, is found in the cul'
tivation OF cocoanut groves. The
foresight of Mr.. Maloney has proved
not only of incalculable benefit to
him, but his success has been the
means of inducing others to buy
lands and improve the thousands OF
acres laying dormant in the only
tropical portion of FLORIDA. Verify,
MANY are the inducements and adj
vantages OF our sunny cline; four
years ago few dreamed that hum
dreds Of thousands of pine apples
would be shipped from Monroe
county; that acres upon acres OF
land that had been regarded as ster-
lie should be planted in cocoanut and
lime groves; that plantation after
plantation should be opened up and
planted in vegetables, and proving a
lucky bonanza to the few who saw
their chance and made the best OF 1t.
A railroad now, and Monroe county
will be the banner county OF this Tar
Southern State.

Hunting Hanson.

A mass of new testimony has been
recently collected in the Hanson
Moore murder case, and Mrs. Smith is
to be vigorously prosecuted, SO AttOr-
ney General Turner says, The Gen
eral says he has written a letter to
Governor Hawkins urging him of the
paramount Importance Of offering a
sufficient and unconditional reward
for Hanson's capture and delivery to
the Sheriff of this county. A party
is known who will effect Hanson's
capture if he is guaranteed a sum
sufficient to pay all expenses and a
reasonable compensation for his trou-
Bile.
The letter to the Governor says
"The evidence l regard as sufficient
upon which to procure a conviction,
and, if your excellency is not entirely
satisfied that this case is one calling
for jealous prosecution, l would refer
you for additional information as to
the testimony to Judge Horrigan,
who heard much OF it on the applica-
tion for bail on behalf Of Mrs. Smith
whom he denied bail"
1t is asked by many if the Governor
can be SO touchingly sentimental as tc
give such a matter only luke.warm
support.
