could only be experimentation we are extremely
anxious that the prosperity Of the Islands and the
great commercial benefits which are accruine
10 them through the Treaty, should not be ieop-
ardiEed through any misapprehension OF tho situa-
ton. We feel that there has been no firm IN this
country that has had tho opportunity 10 more
clearly appreciate the workings OF tho kecprocity
Treaty than ourselves, who have been identified
with il since its inception, and earnest workers TOT
its adoption, and therefore We arc confident that
We can speak to the Hawaiian planters with the
assurance that we will not be misunderstood.

and even wicked for clergymen and
other public men to be led into Civ

a really meritorious article, made of
valuable remedies known to all, that
all physicians use and trust in daily,
we should freely commend it. l

they have done me and my friends.

Cured of Drinking.
AT pELAND,

ga friend of mine was cured of an
Unsuitable thirst for liquor, which had
so FRUSTRATED him that he was una
BILE to do any business. He was en-
tirely cured by the use of Hop Bit
tiers. 1t allayed all that burning
thirst; took away the appetite for
liquor, made his nerves steady, and
he has remained sober and steady
man for more than two years, and
has no desire to return to his cups ;
I know of a number of others that
have been cured of drinking by
it."-From leading r. r. official,

Tropical Fruits.

We commence, on our sixth page,
description OF the different fruit,
the seeds of which we have import.
ed and are distributing. The Ca.
shew will be found valuable addi-
ton to those to have already growing
in the State. The seeds are good,
tor we have planted them and they
have grown. We take a pleasure in
distributing seeds to those who will
care for them, and are pleased to
hear such good accounts OF the
Cherimoya and Divi.divi seeds that
we distributed some weeks ago.
The plants we are propogating will
be distributed among those who will
work for the FLORIDA AGRICULTURE.
IsT and get up clubs for us. We
have also a fine lot of ornamental
plants for our lady subscribers which
will be sent out when they are in a
proper state to take up.

AN exchange suggests that land

profitable land marks for future gen.
erations.-Ldke City Reporter.

One of the largest live oaks in this
county, aud no doubt in the State
is growing in Micanopy on a lot
owned by Mr. J. H. Stokes. 1t meas

two feet in circumference, and it,
branches cover an area of nearly
quarter of an acre. Its age, of course
is not known; but judging from the
immense size and very slow growth
OF this kind OF oak, one would sup
pose it's age to be at least one thou
sand years. No doubt its large and
spreading branches have been shelter
and protection for the red man from
