East Florida Seminary.

We have received the circular Of
the above State School, announcing
important changes IN organization
and greatly increased educational ad-
vanlages Tor the annual session be>
ginning January so, 1882. The cur
riculm now offers an English course,
Classical Course, Training Glass
for pupils preparing to become
teachers. and a Commercial Course.
For the benefit OF male students a
Military Organization has been adj
opted, and the Secretary of War has
detailed an officer of the U. S. Army
as Commandant of the Cadets and
Instructor in Military Drills, etc. All
male students will be required to
drill and to wear the prescribed uni
form.
For the benefit Of female pupils,
lessons in vocal and instrumental
music will be given in the Seminary
building, and the class in Calisthenics
Will give exercise promotive of health
and grace. It will thus be seen. that
the Seminary offers advantages of
very superior order. The military

Sales of Land.

We have had repeated inquiry from
visitors-"Whv, if Florida is such a
fine country, is it that so much land
is offered for sale?:" A very little
knowledge of the State will make it
known that numbers of settlers who
homesteaded five or six years ago,
have lately been "proUi,ag u2o," and
In position to sell such portions of
their lands that they do not require.
Most of them who have 80 to 100
acres, find that they do not require
more than 10 or 20 acres, and are
ready to make money by the sale OF
the remainder. Again, many of them
have had a hard life OF it, for they
came here without money or expert
ence, and struggled along by hard
work TO MAKE groves. They can now
sell the groves at good prices, and
with the knowledge they have OBJ
tanned, be able to make others st
half the labor. Most of the groves
offered for sale cost the parties max
ing them, iii time and labor, much
more than they are sold at. They
also want to recruit aud enjoy the
blessing of enjoying money, after so
many years OF privation. Let those
moDeyed men who have made groves
by paying out cash, compare uotes,
and see if it has not cost them more
than double what they could have
bought them for improved. We are
not aware of any person OF capital
who has made groves who has offered
them for sale.

Tropical Agriculture.

We are in receipt Of the report of
the Botanic Gardens at Trinidad, an

of 1854 miles and diversified sur

acceptable to our readers. The gar

government the grant last year being
nearly $1,000 besides being allowed
to appropriate the proceeds of sales

these transactions footing up $3,5C0.
Some idea oil the work involved in

afforded by the statement that the

School and an appropriate service at
the Union church. The indica-
ton OF Christmas we saw was at the
DeLand Grove House. There was
no snow or ice, or the sound OF sleigh
bells; but the sumptuous dinner
spread by Mrs. Terry, was a perfect
reminder OF the festive day. Just
here let me say that we often hear
it said, one cannot get good things to
eat here, and many visitors bring
baskets filled with delicacies; to those
who think we have no market, or
poor cooks, we say so to o. ?. Ter

key, roast chicken and beet, good
variety OF vegetables, including fresh
beans and tender young cabbage,
and all the usual side dishes. The
desserts consisted OF elegant cakes,
pies, buildings, nuts, candy aud rails

enlivened the feast, and the day end

The Navel Orange.
From the Riverside Press.

IL is said that some object to the
navel orange because of the unsightly
protuberance from the blossom end
of the fruit Those we'll posted
know that there is unsightly mark
on the navel orange as rule when
it is grown on orange stock. The
China lemon and lime stock gives a
large size, thick skin and frequently
a navel development that is un-
slightly. The coarse stocks produce
a coarse fruit, but the orange stock
produces fine textured fruit that as
a rule barely shows the mark that
gives the fruit It's name.
