AST0RY WITH A LESSON.

An editor sat in his room. He was
thinking. An editor has to think great
deal. Generally it is about how to get
money to pay off the other editors when
the end of the week comes. A man came
into the room. He had roll of paper in
his hand.
"Can I get this in ?" he said.

1T is q reply to Prof. Huxley"
"Not much. you can't get it in" said
the editor, and the man went away.
Pretty soon another man came IN with
a roll of paper. "Can I get this in?" he
"What is it?"
cit is an item about minister and a

"You Just bet your life you can get it
in," said the editor, getting up and shak-
ing the man heartily by the hand.

LOSS OF THE STEAMER BOHEMIAN.

London, Feb. 9-The following addi-
tional particulars of the wrecking of the
steamer Bohemian ip Dunlough bay. Ire.
land, on the 7th, were received to-day:
The steamer went ashore on the Irish
coast during q terrible storm, and thirty
two persons were drowned. Twenty -one
of the crew, including the second officer,
were saved. When the boat struck
the crew commenced to rush about, but
the captain was perfectly cool. The two
starboard boats were swung, and six
persons got into one, but it was stove in.
The second was also damaged, owing to
the rolling of the vessel. Eigh
teen got into the port life boats.
The engineers were waiting to
get in, but the line broke and the boat
dritted astern. 1t was being rowed back,
when the ship keeled over and sunk,
stern foremost. Five men were rescued
from the dangerous boat, but two died
before being landed.
The steward states that when the cap
tain found the fog setting in he instruct
ed the third officer to keep two
points off. He then consulted the chart
and on going ON deck and looking at the
ships course, exclaimed: Good God!
What are you doing? Hard aport"
She struck soon afterwards. The second
officer, below at the time, attributes the
disaster to the third officer installing the
orders, and Keeping her two points oft
the wind instead OF off shore. The cap
tain gave orders to go at full speed be-
fore the ship struck.
The boatswain states that after the
pinnace was launched, into which the
captain was to get, the mainmast struck
it,.
The chief officer of the coast guard
says he saw only one man cllnging to q
rock. A rocket line was twice shot over
the place, but the third time 1t got en-
tangled in the rock. The watch on deck
at the time were drowned with the ex-
ception of one or two.

RAILROAD TROUBLES.
vexations and Delays ON the Yankton
Sioux Falls and O'her Lines.
Sioux City Journal, lOtt


Sioux Falls and O,her Lines.
Sioux City Journal, 10th.
The Yankton line has had run of bad
luck, truly. After getting the engine
and tender back on the track at the Sioux
bridge, the procession started for this
city. It consisted of the live engine that
had been pulling the derailed and dead
engine on the track. As'the track was
heavy, the cars of the train were left
standing where they were. When near
Dry Rnn these engines stuck in the ice,
from the melted snow that had frozen on
the rails. It was then necessary to send
in 10 the city and get st. Paul engine
TO pull IN the other two. An engine was
then sent back for the cars on the track,
and got in with them just after midnight
yesterday morning.
Since the train left Yankton, on Mon
day at noon, until it reached this city
yesterday morning, Conductor Graham
had been working incessantly, and was
rewsfdod by getting his train in on the
third day after he started on the trip.
And this was doing we'll considering the
run of bad luck. The train left fol
Yankton at the usual time in the after
noon, and when last heard from was max
ing schedule time.
The opening Of the Sioux Falls line
progressed from both ends yesterday
An engine cleared the track from Elk
Point to West6eld, and the train from
Sioux, Falls was expected to arrive al
Canton at noon, but did not. The lin,
is expected TO Be opened so as to send ,
train outfrcm this city this afternoon.
II was expected that the st. Paul lin
would be opened from the south to Shel
don last evening. Beyond there is On
1900 feet long, with snow from three t,
nine feet deep. There are seven pionee
trains and several hundred men at worl
clearing the line, but it is not expecte'
to get the job completed so as to sent
out train before tomorrow.
On the Omaha line of the st. Paul on
train is working south from Oakland
and one north from Tekamnh, but O
latest accounts they had not collided.
On the Central the track was cleare
from LeMars to and beyond Remsel
the first station east. The force of tw
engines and 200 men. and under chare
of Superintendent Parker, which le
Fort Dodge Yesterday morning, was r.
ported at Newell at noon, and, it WI
hoped, would succeed in clearing tt
track last evening, but failed to do 8
It is possible that the clearing of Il
track may be finished this morning 80
to send out train on time this afte
noon.

Editor Of The Florida AgriculturSss:
Meeting held at the residence OF
Mr.. M. Lewis's, March 18th 1881.
After dinner Mr.. Lewis invited the
members OF the society to take a
walk to his hammock TO inspect his
grove. All were surprised to see
what growth his trees have made /;
quite number OF them will soon
bloom, and the Peen.to peaches that
were put out year ago, have all of
them a great many peaches on them,
Mr.. Lewis bids fair to have the best
grove in this part of the county, in a
few years. After we returned from
the hammock, the meeting was called
to order by the president. This be.
ing the annual meeting, the election
OF officers for the ensuing year was
next in order. Or. Hawks deciining
to serve as president another yeas,
Mr.. vi. B. Rolfe, was chosen presi-
dent; Mr.. w. S. Hart, vlce-presl-
dent, Mrs. M. b. kolfe, secretary,

tary. Last mouth club was formed
to send North for some of the new

had been heard from, Mr.. Smith had
received letter from Mr.. Roe say
ing they would be shipped when win

know "where is winter DIR.
Hawks would like to know ii anyone
had any honey, he thought the slght
OF some nice comb honey would be
Sgood for sore eyes" which reminded
Mr., Selleck to thank MIR Hart, tor
recommending honey Tor his eyes,
which had troubled him so much he
was very much alarmed about them.
He applied the honey three times
and they were completely cured.
Mr.. Selleck procured the honey OF
Mr.. Lewis, who $ id ii was palmetto
honey, and he considers the honey
made from the palmetto contains
great medicinal qualltles which II the
physicians Nortn, were only &C
qoalnted with, they would use 1t ex

cola, were soon on our way to Thorn
asville, Georgia, which is located
about thirty.seven miles northeast of
our starting point. We were quite
surprised to find that our horses were,
although poor, really excellent an
finals, and that we were nearing
Townsville at the rate of about
seven miles an hour. At twelve o.
clock our driver suddenly drew rem,
and remarked two hours for noonin'
gentilmin." We were then at DR..
Robinson's store, which is very pref
lily located near the beautiful lake
Jamonia, in Florida, but quite near
the line of the State OF Georgia"
About 2 o'clock, the horses being
well rested, we resumed our journey.
The scenery along our route was
very pretty indeed. The many old
sugar cane and cotton plantations to
be seen from the road, which are now
thown away and untitled, go to show
that the South was once, what it is
again rapidly growing to be-the
richest country in the whole world.
Something after 4 o'clock we drove
into a little town, and hating in
front of a handsome brick building,
In what seemed the principal street,
our driver remarked, s'this am Tomas
Will gentilmin, and that is the Mitchell
House, the very best hotel in town,
sah," After registering at the hoe
we all went out to look around at
town; of which l shall tell you i'll

are not built in day and are expen-
sive articles and if new timber Is
used, dry rot is sure to take place
at an early date, as was the case with
the vessels built during the civil war,
most of which have gone to pieces
long ago. 1t is a most uuwise policy
to depend on purchasing timber as
the necessity arises, for there are no
extensive ship yards in this country
that keep large stock of seasoned
wood. In naval engagements the
loss OF men by splints are much more
numerous than those by shot, and
therefore oak and teak have been
found to be the woods that are less
liable to splint. Teak is only OBJ.
tanned from the East Indies, SO it
would be an expensive job for our
Department to look to that country
for a supply. An iron-clsd, with q
backing of pitch.pine, would only be
a slaughter pen, for even if the shot
from heavy guns did not penetrate
the blows would send the pine splints
flying is all directions. We have An
idea that our cabbage palmetto
would make good backings for IRON
clads, but that depends on the dura-
bility of the wood. There is no
splint:n it, however, and it is tough.
If our Government does not reserve
lands for timber, before it is all given
away, future generations will have
cause to regret it. SIN time OF
peace prepare tor war"

Orange GrOvesiOf Calhoun County

OTAnS0 UfOFoSIOA CdlHOtln COunCys
Few of our Northern visitors are
aware that in Calhoun county west
of the State, on the Apalachicola
river are extensive orange groves.
The Mariana Courier says:
"Dr. Theo. West who has Just re.
turned from Calhoun county, reports
to us that the groves in that county,
though In some localities very much
injured, while infothers the loss is
nominal. From what we could
gather from him, it appears there are
few groves which are better pro
tected by forest than others, and to
this is due the slight damage. He
reports that the cold has injured the
groves from FIVE to ninety per cent;
that the owners are still hopeful and
do not desire to sell, even at fancy
prices. The groves which escaped
the cold the past winter, may be
considered hereafter safe from in
jury"
