ney and Mr.. Geo. B. Rice, did excelS
lent work. Mrs. Cheney made her
Florida debut in the song, ''The Vale of
Chamouni." Although not in good
voice, her excellent method and knowl-
edge of the art, enabled her to give such
an exhibition of vocalization as has not
before, been heard in DeLand. We
congratulate the community on the ac-
ouisition of such talent. This ladv
also sang with truly artistic rendering,
the song, "Tender and True" The
duet, ''See the Pale Moon" sung by
Mr.. and Mrs. Cheney. gave us a sweet
foretaste of the welded melodies we
may expect in the future, from those
two singers.
Mr.. Rice brings to us refreshing proof
of what correct teaching can do for
good voice, aided by careful and INTEL
ligent study. He has tenor voice of
much promise. He sang ''The Village
Blacksmith" and in response to an
encore, sang ''Down theShadowed Lane
She Goes" We want to hear him
again. Mr.. Rice also showed himself
to be a violinist of promise. The
Glover song" by LANCE, was played by
him with easy grace and purity Of tone.
Messrs. Rice and Cheney, played
duet for violin and cornet, which was
very pleasing. Mr.. A. H. Anthony
played solo upon the guitar in good
style, which gave pleasing variety to
the programme.
Prof. Hull sang acceptably in ''Rosy
Morning. from Trovatore, and "The
Laurel and the Rose," q duet for
voice and cornet. A Serenade was we'll
sung by Mrs. Waltz, Mrs. Cheney,
Messrs. Cheney and Parce.
Mrs. Waltz felt obliged On account
of hoarseness, to omit her duet with
Mr.. Cheney to the sincere regret of the
audience.
Two or three good things were omit
ted from the programme which was
ratherlong, and the,concert was brought
to a happy termination by the audience
singing the doxology.

A Gaming.

From what I have seen and heard of
this, had supposed it was rather a DIS
agreeable business. On Saturday night
last, whilst suffering extreme rheumat-
ic pains, my room was entered by some
twelve or fifteen persons both men and
women. Seeing I was overpowered, 1
of course submitted, and they formed a
circle around my bed, when MIR. FL. A.
DeLand commenced short but pointed
Grafton he proceeded but little way
when the cane was brought into requisi'
ton, and then it was short work. To
all who have never been caned, it is
rather pleasant than otherwise. The
process being oyer, they soon departed,
leaving the cane, which 1 found to be
very beautiful as well as valuable it is
made of Cocoa highly polished, with a
beautiful gold head. do not feel Of
Tended at the party, or bear them the
least malice, but will ever regard it as
one of the pleasant recollections of my
life, and the cane will be kept as prec-
ious memento. I'D. BoHANNoN.

The Concert.

We had the pleasure on Friday eve
ming the 18th inst, of attending the
most complete and enjoyable musical
entertainment, ever given in DeLand.
The new Baptist Church was used for
the first time for the Concert given by
Prof. Cheney to the ladies Aid Society.
We shall speak of the building else
where, merely adverting in this con-
nectionto the acoustics, which was sim
ply perfect. The pure intonations Of
voice or instrument, penetrate to every
part of the audience room without the
least echo or disagreeable doubling.
OF the Concert we can say briefly, sit
was grand success" The IroUatorc

programme opened, set the pulse of the
audience in rhythmic flow. and every ear
atune for the good things to follow.
1t was we'll performed by Miss Johnson
and Mrs. Anthony.
OF the piano forte pieces, four in
number, this was perhaps the most pleas
ing. by reason of its catchy popular airs.
Mrs. Anthony played the Witches
Dance'' in q manner evidently satisfac>
tory to the witches resident in boot heels
and slipper soles.
Prof. Hulps instrumental number
was 'Full Speed Galop.' His fingers
galloped DER the keys in the Hull
souled style, for which the Professor is
noted. The Waltz for four hands.
played by Misses Johnson and Farr,
was especially brilliant. Miss Johnson's
playing is particularly noticeable for
conscientious reading, and spirited
style. We hope Wisconsin will give
Miss johnson back to us to keep.

A New Economical Plant.

A new plant we introduced from
Jamaica two or three years ago, has
so tar advanced in growth as to have
reached its Towering period at this
date-slow but sure-and 1t argues
much for the success attending new
introductions from tropical countries
into our midst. Were the Towering
period the ultjmatum whereby the
utility OF our plants are gagged, we
would complain OF long waiting,
but in this, as in the sweet potato,
their properties are inherent in parts
of their structure which are of COM
mercial significance in their earlier
stages of growth, and the Towering
is an event aptly chronicled as an
occurrence not to be expected, or
very exceptional. We refer to the
GaId12g0, whose botanical name is
1l)iaa0, belonging to the family of
Scitonai'aea, comprising a numerous
variety of indigenous herbaceous PEI
renDials, among which are different
kinds of ginger, zedoary, arrowroot,
cardamon, grains of paradise, TUNERS
ic, etc. Most Of them are noted for
their aromatic properties, which re-
side chiefly in the root-stocks, or in
the seeds. The root-stocks of some,
particularly the young, contain much
starch, which is used in arrowroot.
Our plant is an undescribed spe>
cies, and certainly a very snowy
member OF this family of plants, and
while under our care, with no par-
ticular attention, has shown tho~
rough adaptation to our climate, not
withstanding ali variation Of temper
ature, unframed Its flowers remind
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1882-04-19

us of some of the orchids in variety
of color, richness of substance and
pleasing perfume.
Its roots produced in abundance
are aromatic and resembles ginger.
We consider it worthy of extended
cultivation, and, although our stock
is small, we will divide with all in
terested in possessing it.

Dedication of the Baptist House OF
Worship.

Dedication OF the baptist hOuSe of
Worship.
Last Sunday was q day of more
than usual interest in this young city.
1t witnessed the dedication of our
first house OF worship. The building
is of good size, convenient in ali its
arrangements, and beautiful in it's
outline. 1t is built after plans drawn
by architect J. r. Thomas, OF Roch>
ester, N. Y. 1t is one of the designs
for which Mr.. Thomas received
premium from the Baptist Home
Mission Society. The building is
67x49 feet, and is finished in Florida
pine. The main audience room will
seat 800. A lecture room between
the two main entrances, by4openinge-
folding doors, increases its seating
capacity to 400, and by putting chairs
in the aisles and open spaces, 500
may easily be accommodated. A
slight elevation of the floor gives
each nearer full view of the speak
er. On the right of the platform is
the choir and organ. The baptistry
is just behind the pulpit in an open
recess, and robing rooms are on each
side. The builder, Mr.. J. Clake, has
done his work SO honestly and eff.
GENTLY that he has won tor himself
the confidence ard gratitude OF the
community. Although he found he
would lose at the contract price, he
refused to slight his work and thus
attempt to save himself.
To Mr.. Ill. A. DeLand is due no
small credit for the beginning and
completion of the enterprise. One
year ago he offered 50 g;ya &l,0G9
toward houes cSstiag $1,000 end
$500 toward one coating $4,000.
BY personal solicitation he raised
$4,000, and when it was found that
$4,000 would be needed, he again
came generously to the rescue.
The day OF dedication opened fair
and beautiful, and at the hour of ser
vice the house in all its parts was
well filled. Quite a number were
present from out of town, among
whom we noticed Mr. Prevatt, edi~
tor of the South Fla. Times, Messrs.
Neal, Austin and Col. Crenshaw, of
Orange City; Mr.. Neff, of Spring
Garden; Prot. Hull, of Lake Leila
Rev. Mr.. Gordon, of Berestord; Rev,
Mr.. Lewton, OF Orange City, and
Revs. L. G. Carr and J. S. Mahan, of
Illinois.
The opening prayer was offered by
Mr.. Lewton. Mr.. Hillman read the
scripture. Mr.. Carr prayed, and the
dedicatory sermon was delivered by
). ii. Griffith, d. D., of Troy, N. Y,
who was present and gave an address
when ground was broken Tor the
erection Of the edifice one year ago.
AT the close of the sermon, the
chairman Of the building committee,
j. Y. Parce, read financial states
ment, from which we learned that
the contract tor building WAS let

rance, furnishing, etc, had swelled
the amount to $3,79z7l. OF this

Siberiass Horrors.
[Chicago Tires.l

Sorry indeed, even when death does re
come to put an end to his existance, is tn,
lot of the convict who has succeeded in es
Gaping from the mines of eastern Siberia
| Without resource Of any kind, he must beg
| or rob his way back to Russia. The alter.
native of seeking employ ment is one which
often has disastrous consequences. The
convict of the lowest type regards the ST.
berian coionist as an inferior, and has a
saying which describes him as sblind for
three days after BIRTH" But the colonist
has his revengs. He works the supercilious
convict like beast Of burden, and gives
him as little !rest and as little food as pos
sible. When wages are demanded the
colonist has an original way of satisfying
his laborer. The money is paid without
demur, but before thecoavict can get clear,
he falls dead. killed by bullet from the,
gun of his cruel employer. This method of
payment is sometimes carried out on a
large scale. It is adopted in the case of
vagabond leborers who, having finished
their autumn work in the. fields, retrsn to,
the neighboring village TO- get paid off. The
wages arel forthcoming and the laborers
allowed to depart with their hardly earned
money. But they have no sooner gone
than tho peasant farmer assemblies his
neighbors, and having provided them with
horses and fire armsss the whole party sal
lies forth in pursuit of the vagabonds. The
retiring laborers are speedily overtaken
most are killed on the spot, all are robbed
the recovered money being divided between
the farmer and his confederates. The only
respect shown for authority is the preva-
lent habit, where robbery has been the mo-
tive of slaughter, of concealing the dead.
The murdered cOnvicts are usually cut up
and mutilated and the remains buried in
out of the way places. This hunting of
the ''hunchbacks," as the escaped convict
are called in derision, has gone on TO
years, entering SO deeply into the habits
of the people that it has escaped the Eatten-
zion of few travellers in eastern Siberia.
"Where are the men?" was asked of a
woman left in charge of small village
adjoining the highway. ''Gone after the
hunchbacks,'' was the reply. Such is the
prevailing Generalization in this respect
that boys have been heard to ask their
fathers to kill vagabonds in order that
they may see show the fellow will roll on
his hump" In some of the governments
1t is cetain death for a convict escaped, or
still under supervision, to be caught return
ing from the mine. Occasionally the SOL
dlsrs initiate the colonists sn thier exploit
alton of the vagabond. The Cossack, as
well as the ordinary colonist covets cheap
labor, and it is the habit of rewarding with
an ounce or two of lead the convict who de-
clines to pass from one condition of bond
slavery to another.
