Indian River Correspondence.

Editor Of The Florida AgTiculturiSt:
After one of the busiest seasons
on record, we resume our correspond
ence with the resolution to continue
during the heated term at least. The
correspondence of the AGRICULTU-
RIST during the past year has been
interesting at all events, and many
of the ideas advanced were so direct
ly the opposite of our own experience
that we were prone to question them /;
but, when night came, we were too
tired to summon up the necessary
amount of energy. Perhaps we may
notice some hereafter.
The orange season just passed has
been a prosperous one TO us on In.
dian River, as a rule. Our first ship
ments by the old Foe lost heavily
but after the Marion, with Captain
Joe Smith at the helm, got to runs
ming to Rock Ledge Landing, our
losses were very small. Most of our
shipments were sold in New York,
without breaking bulk, and as the
season opened at $3.50 and closed at
$3.50, our net proceeds were fair.
The time to New York has been
about eight days, decided advance
over ten and twelve, but there is
still plenty of room for Improvement.
With our present facilities, our orS
anges should reach New York in six
days. During the past season ship.
per leaving here with his oranges,
would reach Jacksonville twenty
seven hours in advance, which is very
wrong, and calls loudly for redress.

tinual ploWing, so that y Will lose its
sourness by beng exposed to the sun.
After that, plowlng only disturbs the
ground and is not a real benefit. We
think to let all the grass, weeds and
vegetable matter, grow all summer,
just keeping around the tree clear by
hoeing once a month in rainy seasons,
and in dry, not at all. In the fall or
early winter, plow everything under
and harrow; this will decay and Is
better we find than the cow-pea for
fertilizer. When the pine-st has
fallen we rake this up and mulch the
trees well; it is then about February
and the trees are beginning to grow
rapidly. By watching, the scale in
sect can be kept down. We find that
home made soft soap and salt water
are about as good remedy as one
can find. Besides having grove,
we want vegetable garden; now, so
many say it is next to impossible to
have garden on high pine land.
We live in about the highest part of
Orange county, and we have a gar
den. A small piece of land, say fifty
by a hundred feet, inclosed with a
slat fence, is enough for home
usp, have it far enough from the house
to keep out the chickens, and you
can raise good useful things. We
have cows, and thus always keep a
piece of land cow.pened, and here
we raise our garden each year. We
have very good vegetables on the
land and it pays us well for our
trouble, by affording us variety in
the eating line.
A village is now being talked
about, and the four homesteads sur
rounding Round Lake, are now be-
ing surveyed into lots and streets.
w. F. Redding, is in the lead of this
move.
AS the land is good, high and hll.
ly, il is healthy. Either pine or oak
land can be purchased in lots to suit
the purchaser.
Several parties are now using de-
cayed black jack or oak for mulching
or tertilizing the orange aud to sue
cess. DR.. Skinner has quite large
number of trees fixed in this way.
With home fertilizers and mulching
one can raise a grove and we do not
much favor foreign fertilizer. We
came here for health and grove,
and here we found it.

it ought to have the effect to change the rooted,
unqualified, utter seltishness of men in this
world. Yet it does seem that the more such tact
is accepted by mankind the more muroerous'
depraved and licentiouS individuals become.
There never was period in the history OF
civilization when poor Atheism was so crowded
to the wall by the thousand and one theories
of future life as at the present time. Yet II
is equally true that it is the epoch OF vice. de-
moralization and murder. If a man can 60 to
bed on the absolute conviction that there is a
future, we would think the impression that ne
had been doing about right would be indis
pensable to sound sleep. Or, II man Is
satisfied that when he comes to die ne
is going to live again, he would prepare him.
self for that event with as clean and shining
record as the utmost watchiulness and perpet-
ual care could secure. Especially by the light
in which we discern human motives does this
seem so, when we consider that all who admit
future concede it to be endless, leaving the
present existence, when compared to II, as
one Grain in the numberless sands OF the sea-
shore.

enlightened, spiritual era in the worlds his
tory is the most acknowledgement 1t seems
difficult to escape from just that embarrass-
ment-it can be accounted for only by assum-
ing that the power of human passion, the
frenzy of human appetite, are too much,
not for the human intellect but the
human will. Hand in hand the appetite and
the intellect 90 forward together, with no ap-
parent antagonism to disturb the even progress
of the march, because the will lays behind,
failing utterly in its Office of subordinatlng the
passions to the thought in men. 1t is hence
only when men grow afraid, when their fears
startle them into consciousness, when there is
some religious influence brought to bear, that
the natural duties of the will are, through such
agencies, accomplished. If our argument be
correct, no amount of mere belief in future
life is going to redeem society from vice and
save men from doing wrong, but only the edu-
cation of the human will up to that standard
of activity and energy which shall enforce the
DEGREES of the intellect against the apPetites

VICTOR HUGOS LIFE-DKEAM.

Victor Hugo steps grandly toward the outer
verge of time, but the greatest man of France
has not realized his sublime prophecy of a
confederated nation Of states to be called the
United States of Europe. His dream of so
glorious political mellenium reached beyond
NapoIeon's prediction of Europe Cossack or
republican but would not be a more tremend-
Gus attainment for the present civilization Of
the world than was the American Union for
that of a century ago. 1t is not however to be
the spontaneous outgrowth of homogeneous
conditions, nor to find in any overpowering
genius for fraternity its solitary cause; but
various providences will interfere to bring
about the situation which, like a grand OBJ
servatory on the shore of great sea, will
overlook the splendid possibilities to be &C
complshed through means untried, and politi-
cal virtues never taSked by powers or peoples,
whose simple solution Of every difficulty or
complication has been war. These providen-
tial necessities lie in pertecting such engines
of destruction as will make war itself impossi-
BILE, and constrain the nations to resort to a
policy that will secure the pursuit of happiness
and higher ends of existence by other means

ASSISTANCE, IF NECESSARY.
In the house of lords, this evening, Earl
Granville, foreign secretary, stated that if the
feet at Alexandra required the assistance OF
troops, they would be sent. There was, he
said, no reason to believe any of the great
powers regarded the bombarding of Alexan-
dria as other than an act OF Self-defence.

The Monarch fired seven hundred heavy

withstood the fire of the heaviest guns Of the
Monarch.

Don't Throw Mud.

Don't throw mud; it isn't kindly
To bespatter any man;
There are natures striving blindly
To belittle whom they can
Natures keen to the dement's
OF brother, neighbor, friend
Whose own bitterness inherits
Scornful pity without end.
Don't throw mud; it isn't Clearly
Filthy habits are betrayed
By those base attacks so meanly
On another's honor made.
Those who faint are surely tainted.
Deeply stained the tongues that curse {;
Only those whose hearts are painted
Black, are eager to asperse.
Don't throw mud; the true reformer
Never stoops to Witty;
Proffer love; the heart grows warmer
From the touch Of charity.
Vain the clanking chains and lashes
To restore the moral worth;
Vainer far the world that dashes
Hope and good resolve to earth.
Don't throw mud: you can't afford it;
This is not priceless life;
Justice will at length award it
To the noblest in the strife. tt
Let not then your chances vanish
In your effort to diScrOwn;
Let the hearts best impulse Danish
