duced by the reports that have gone
from the pleasant homes of the settlers.
They by no means devote their we'll
titled lands exclusively to the culture
of the great Southern staple or to grain.
They are growing small fruits and veg
ctables with gratifying success.
The Palatka (FIa) Herald states that
Mr.. w. p. Wright has bought another
slice of Drayton island, 800 acres. Be
fore the last purchase he owned good
part of the west side OF the island. Mr..
w. has been in Florida for twelve years,
and was the first who introduced into
this section the business Of market gar.
dcning, For the past ten years he has
cultivated vegetables for the Northern
market. He has had as high as fifteen
acres in cucumbers in enc season. Thi,
year he cultivated over ten acres to cab
bagc alone, 1t may be said in his case
at least, that he has ascertained the pos
tive reality of the vegetable industry
and his testimony is favorable. The ad
ditional 300 acres ust purchased by
him is for vegetable growing. 1t is {
piece of low, rich prairie, which, in or
der to render tiIlablc, he is now diking
and draining.
1t is stated by the Sandford (Fla.
Journal that General Sandford has
merged his large interests there and in
Middle Florida in an English company,
composed of business men and capital
lists of high standing in England and
Scotland, and called the Florida Land
and Colonization Company Olimitcd), of
which he is president, The object of
the company is to continue the import
ant work of improvement and colonial
ton commenced by him eleven years
ago, and to extend it over a larger terri
tory with the larger means now afforded.
Sanford will naturally be the headquar
tcrs of the company, which started with
capital of 81, 100000. 1t is already
proposed to increase it to 5000, 600 in
order to carry out the various plans anc
projects ON hand. Until a charter is
obtained the business will be carried on
under the direction of Gen. Sanford.

Curing Hams,

A recipe for pre- crying hams floats up
from 1u>cumbiI, Ala, to the EImra

by thi, method Gained Il good reputa-

other ,outhcrn cities. The recipe is as
follows: After the pork was cut out
and the hams nicely and closely trim

pulvcrizcd saltpeter was sprinkIed over
the flesh, a desert spoonful to medium
BAN, and hest sugar molasscs two or
three spoonfuls poured from the spoon

meat was bulked, hams first, shoulders

six weeks, and was then broken up and
the meat washed in the water. The
hams were then held in kettles of diluted

Then few hurriedly whispered words

Aunt Deborah having withdrawn, he
tells me the appalling truth. He tells mo

Stanford was drowned. They recovered
the body next day. And then, very
gently, Jack tells me who he was, and /

many people will say Jack Randall was

as badly as I had done; but his motto
is. that ''Io err is human: to forgive di-

honorably assert never loved any one

Az interesting phenomenon i'll pho
toGraphy has been announced by NJ
Jansacn in n note to the French Academy
of sciences. While obtaining social
images Mt Mcndon, he has observed that
when the exposure is prolonged beyond
II certain period in which good mega.
tive is got this image loses Its distinc-
ton, and the plate passes into neutral
state. e., no appreciablc change ap-
pears on use of u developer. But il the
exposure he continued still further, the
negative image gives place to posi-
tive, in wl:i"h the distribution of light
and shade is exactly the opposite, and
this image, if the luminous action bo
well regulated, presents all tho details
and iineness of the one 1t has supplanted.
With further exposure second neutral
state is reached, opposite to the first, in
asmuch MS If the latter showed the
image uniformly dark, the former shows
it uniformly light. For solar negatives
taken at NIendon the time of exposure
has rarely exceeded IL, 900 of a second,
if the photospheric granulations were to
be obtained, and with plates prepared by
the gelatino- bromide process, the time
may be reduced to l-20, 000th of a second,
or less. Now, if one of these dry plates
be exposed half a second distinct posi-
tive image is produced, the body of tho
sun appearing white and spots black, as
they do to the eye. M. Jansen has SIM
ilarly obtained positive images of land
scapes appearing transparently as the
scenes is viewed naturally; also q view
of the park at Mendon, showing a white
solar disk on the dark background of the
sky and corner types, which are of tho
same sight as the original types. c.,
positive if the type be positive, and neg
ative if it be negative. In these photo
graphs it is the same spectral rays that
have given the negative image, and then
effected its transformation into positive.

OLD SAWS RE-SEr.-A great mark is

The Splint In the Horse.

It is wcl-known to all owners OF
horses that there is what may be called
a tumor, which at first is callous and
aftcrwar s becomes bony, which some
times grows upon the horses leg, the
ba.e resting upon the line of union of
the shank bone and the splint-bone,
which frequently causes the horse to go
lame indeed almost invariably when it
invadcs the knee joint, snd which is
frequently beyond the reach of the far
ricr to cure or remove. A short time
pgo. however, farmer, who appeared to
be familiar with the ailment of the
horse, informed us that he used remedy
for it which was completely successful
with him; and having obtained the in
gradients in the belief that the ointment
might be of service in similar case, we

Washington. Aug. 12.-u p. m: The
history of the presidents case TO day is
almost q repetition of yesterday. The
physicians say he has passed good
day and his general condition tonight
is as last night at this time. His appe-
tite has improved, and the pus which
has discharged during the day is healthy
and diminished in quantity. DR.. Ham
ilton said he considered the president
better. and the patient expressed him
self during the day as feeling better.
While the instruments Of precision
used in determining the pulse and tenn
perature, DIR. Hamilton said, placed the
patient just where he was yesterday,
still If it were not for them, he should say
the president was better. If the pulse
and temperature keeps up for day or
two at to-day's figures it should cause
no alarm, for in his Judgment as long
as the president held his own, which be
has done since the operation Monday
last, he is, under the circumstance, do
ing well.

New York, Aug. 12-An evening pa
per Washington special says: One of
the active capitalists connected with
the Nicarauguan canal project, said to-
day that the men engaged in the enter
prise were not discouraged at the failure
to get the bill through congress last
season, granting charter to the society
which had received concession from
the Nicarauguan government, and the
matter would again be pressed upon the
attention of congress next winter, and
from assurances given by many sena-
tors and representatives, it was believed
that a charter would be granted to Gen.
Grant and his associates. In the mean
time. probably in October, q scheme
would be brought to the attention of
capitalists and investors in New York,
ahd subscription books opened with a
view Of securing, before congress meets,
enough subscriptions to guarantee the
construction Of the canal.
