CircumlOcutiOn.

A person leaving DeLand along
with the mail bag, will travel togeth
er as tar as Palatka, but there they
part, the passenger will proceed
straight on and get to Jacksonville
that night. The mail bag requires a
night to rest at Falatka, and arrives
1t Jacksonville the next day. Is not
this a farce? Papers sent from this
Office to Gainesville take four days to
reach there; while person can start
from this place, go to Gainesville and
return in less time by the Il. r. from
Palatka. The system OF the mail
carriage on the ST. John's being divi-
ided between two companies is detri
maltal TO The service. One company
can rs easily cary it through. Pc
pers from this office are sometimes
nine days reaching Waldo,in Alachua
county.

We pay no unmeritad compliment

bshed in the orange growing districts Of
the Southern States.
The different committees on nomen-
clsture appointed by or horticultural
association have never to our knowledge
attempted TO classify the orange, partlY
fer the reason that most of the1 were
more interested in growing other fruits
outside of the zone of the cities, or from
ignorance to the majority of them, there
were but two kinds, sweet and sour.
EtIn southern Florida where nearly
every one is attacked by the orange fever,
and with migrants coming into the
country from all portions of the Union,
the case is different. These new ar
rivals, hunger and thirst after knowledge
consequently large amount Of space in
their agricultural journals is devoted to
the subject of oranges and other semi
tropical fruits.
The following article. written by A. +.

FibrOuS Material.

Every few years the same old
things turn up. About eight years
ago the subject of Jute, Ramie, Bear
grass etc. was brought forward and
advocated as a profitable crop Tor the
South, that would soon do away with
the importation OF foreign fbrous
materials, but it all ended IN smoke.
The same thing is now being ag-
itated, and Bear grass is mentioned
as being very profitable. In country
where labor is superintendent and
cheap it might do, but at orr rat" oI
wages, it would never pay to gather
Bear grass to convert into fibre. We

this subject and know the difficulties
