DeLand VOusia County, Florida Wednesday, February 5 1882

In Europe, as in Asia and Amer
lea, this valuable fibre is preferred to
horse hair for stuffing beds, cushions,
chairs and saddles, as it is inde~
structable, has no unpleasant smell,
and never harbors vermin.
Brooms, mats, rugs and brushes
are also manufactured from coir, and
in Ceylon the husk in its natural
state with the fibre attached forms a
frst-class scrubbing brush all ready
for use.
Who will not 'yield one palm" to
the cocoa.nut tree as the most royal,
the most useful of its race, not ex-
cepting, perhaps, even the honored
date tree?

Editor Of The Florida Agriculturist:
The market is pretty we'll supplied
with Florida oranges, and prices are
ruling about the same as this time
last year. The russell is more pleDti-
full than the clear, bright, yellow
skinned, and is favorite with many
housekeepers. invariably buy the
russell, finding it to be more juicy,
solid and better favored. The bright
fruit is too apt to be spongy and
sweet and lacks the taste peculiar to
Florida fruit. Dealers, however, find
that the. showiest oranges sell bet
ter than what appears to be inferior
fruit on account of its dusky color.
At retail the russell brings from %
to 40 cents per dozen. Indian River
oranges, and those from Hart's grove
on the ST. Johns, commands a ready
sale at from so to rs cents per dozen.
A few Mandarins are sold at the
largest fruiterss but they do not ap,
pear to be in great demand. Huck-
sters do much to injure the sale OF
Florida oranges. They are always
ready to buy cheap lots of Jamaica
or Valencia and palm them off for
Florida. Of course those acquainted
with the color and flavor of the gen-
uine article, know better than to buy
them, but the unsuspecting do not,
and they are not slow in condemning
what they think to be Florida fruit.
II shippers would exercise more care
in sizing and packing, there would
be less cause of complaint and
more ready disposition to buy. Com
mission men and wholesale dealers
are anxious to get rid of consign-
ments as rapidly as possible in order
to realize before the fruit becomes
unmarketable. The wholesale box
price of Florida oranges range from
$3.50 to S., according to size, color
and quality. A neat white wood box
helps to sell the fruit. Your native
pine whilst it makes a substantial
package, is not as neat or taking as
other woods used for such purposes
a good sized white wrapper helps
the appearance Of the fruit and like
wise the sale.
There have been several conslgn-
ments of foreign oranges lately re.
celved, and as they are sold below
Florida's, they find ready market.
Sicily lemons are plentiful and re.
tail from Is to 30 cents per dozen.
There are but few lines to be seen
and they are dull enough.
Florida tomatoes re,ss.;.i, all the way
from 80 TO 60 cents per quart. Those
received are plump and well formed.
A few cucumbers and string beans
have found ready purchasers. There
is brisk demGnd for cabbage; they
bring fully tnree prices as compared
with tbs time last year.
II your truckers could establish a
oetter system in getting their proN
ducts into the hands of our numerous
dealers they would reap more
remuneraLive returns thar they do
under the present plan.
The cold weather OF the past two
weeks has started many OF our peo-
pie southwark in search OF a more
congenial CLINE, some go with the
view of looking up location tor a
permanent home, others for their
health and pleasure. The high rate
of fare keeps thousands from taking a
winter jaunt OF fortnight or longer

Horse Beans.

| CuttOF W LN6 II tOftttb <iDftCuOMtots
We, as family, are noted for our
curiosity-Husband especially so.
He likes to try for food such things
as are generally classed as unfit for
humans. I once cooked a hen hawk
for him to taste, as he declared he
didn't believe anyone had ever tried
them to see whether they were good
or not.
The past summer we had several
vines OF horse beans "a rapid grows
ing vine used for ornament), and
when they set large tender pods,
Husband suggested that we try
some, cooked like snap beans. We
did so, and thought them more deli-
cate and rich than COW peas cooked
the same way. Thereupon he pre-
pared enough Tor two full meals; we
ate heartily of them for dinner, but
when they came on the table to-
breakfast we didn't seem to be so
anxious for them, but ate some. No
complaint; but when the remnant ap.
pears for next dinner, the boys say,
"Mamma, l shall get tired of horse
beans pretty soon; it makes me feel
la little sick to look at them" and
then Husband owns tllaJ he Wouldn't
be the first to complain, but they
did make him feel "little queer In
his stomach" So the remnant was
used to fertillze an orange tree. But
Husband was not quite satisfied, and
often declared that it would be a
splendid thing to cross the horse
bean with the lima, as the former is
such vigorous grower.
Yesterday we were cutting down
the old vines and found lots of pods
containing tender, mature beans, and
he at once became anxious for an-
other trial, as shelled beans. So the
boys shelled out a few quarts, aud
with knife removed tho colored
skins, leaving large white bean,
which, when cooked, tasted very
much like the common navy bean,
and were partaken of quite heartily
by boys and Husband. remembered
past experience and ate lightly, tor>
tunately, for my services as nurse
were in demand in due time.
Jay bolts his dinner as usual
and goes out with his gun for few
minutes. Husband sits back from
the table and says he feels little
drowsy and will lie down little
while. I call to Lee. who has gone
outside, to come and get me a
bucket of water, and he sinks to
seat and says, Il wish l was in
heaven if have got to feel this way
long" Then I look after Husband
and find he wants to go to heaven
too, and his white face looked as
though he was on the way, bat he
looks smiling, and 1 administer
pint OF warm water, and sooR the
beans are where they give no further
trouble, Then put Lee through
the same course, and he "teels
great deal better" soon, and don't
care a penny about being an angel.
Nature disposes of the contents OF
JAYS stomach without the aid OF
warm water, and now all are com"
Portable, though little weak, and
Husband thinks he will not have
time to cross the horse bean with
the lima this season for the beneht
of Florida gardeners. He has not
tried eating buzzard yet, but *
meet he will order it for dinner some
day.

4 quarter past nine the reporter
again called, and Ridgway, in clear
voice and with scarcely any hesitation,
made statement which was written
down by the reporter. 1t was in sub
stance as follows.
Samuel Ridgway was born in Flori-
ola, Is miles from Pensacola, on Octo.
Der 6, 1850, and was therefore 80
years old on the 9th instant. He
lived at home with his parents until
he was 20 years old. He then went
to st. Louis, and stayed there IS
months, being employed in the livery
stable business and training fast stock.
He went from St. Louis to Cheyenne
and stayed there two years, driving
government ambulance, as a non-en-
listed attache in government service.
Left Cheyenne in 1875, or about that
time, and went up in the interior of
the Territory, engaging in the cattle
business.
In 1877 he went to the Black Hills,
arriving at Deadwood when it was

motive, II analyzed, for the sight OF suffer-
ing is painful to us, and In relieving 1t we
relieve ourselves. But 1t Is the highest
type OF Christian culture that anticipates
the suffering and sorrows OF the world,
which must and will come, and with care
ful pr0riSion make timely provision for
its relief. Pope has said:
ain Faith and Hope the world win disagree,
But all mankind's concern Is Charity"
Upon most questions men diverge. Man
may not be called by nature an harmonious
animal. But oh this bond a. sympathy.
1t binds all men together. 'Tis "the one
touch OF Nature which makes the world
akin" and here to-day may not the sweet
anthem Of "Peacc, Goodwin to Men,"
rise from our hearts and voices, and, SWELL
ing In one grand diapason Of harmony, soar
ing above earth and find its echoes amid the
stars and planets, and thence, caught up
higher still by angel voices, find its sweet
declining cadence before the throne OF
God.
But few years since by one Christian
woman Of pluck and energy this acorn
was planted; it swelled and burst, and
with the aid OF other kindred spirits the
tender plant was nursed and watered, and
to-day sturdy oak seeks TO strike deep its
roots and expand its sheltering branches,
shadow from the MONDAY sun to the
sick and suffering wayfarer. May not
appeal to you not only 10 aid TO build this
"wayside inn " spacious and inviting. but
to give many penny to the host for its
maintenance and support?
Let me give you brief, practical outline
OF its history, and then commend it to
your prayers and your charities.
In 1877 it started, and now to-day, Sep
tember 6, 1SS2-less than six years-we
stand here n large assemblage OF sympa-
thizers to witness beautiful ceremony by
Knights and Masons, those banded breth-
rem Of charity ard skiliul workmen who,
under the presence Of the "All-Seeing
Eye" lay, according 10 ancient rite, the
cornerstone Of this new pillar in the vast
temple Of Charity" Let Us here remember
the prayer OF Solomon for the Temple,
and in our hearts repeat it, that the good
Lord will hear and bless and relieve all
who seek its sheltering arms, and look to
it for relief. May the good work prosper.
May the building erected upon this corner
stone, typical OF the Rock OF Ages"
withstand the wind, the storm, and the
| tempest, and ever stand a monument oil
human sympathy for human suffering, and
OF our love to our neighbOrs.
SO mote it be. Amen.
The knights Templar, Masons, and Wis
itors then adjourned to room in the
building in which refreshments were
served, and button-hole bouquets were
presented to the Sir knights.
Headed by Noelker's band, which fur
nished the music for the occasion, the
Knights and Masons left the vicinity Of the
ceremonies and marched to st. Adams Hall

Trades Parade Matter Referred 10 the
CITY Council.

An adjourned meeting OF the merchants,
manufacturers, and other businessmen OF
the city was held at the rooms of the CHAM
ber oil Commerce yesterday evening-R. f..
Blankenship, Esq, in the chair. The fol-
lowing report was presented and adopted,
after which the meeting adjourned sine
die:
RICHMOND, VA, September 6, 1882.
To the Meeting Of Manufacturers and
Merchants:
Gentlemen, Your Committee Of Ten an
pointed TO ascertain the sentiments OF the
people Of Richmond in regard to n Trades
Parade beg leave to make the following re-
port:
In the short space Of time allotted us to
get the views of as many as we could be-
fore to-night's meeting we have found The
sentiment unanimous for the proposed pa
rade, and the day before the opening Of the
State Agricultural Society's Fair rs the
particularly desirable day.
The following tablet will show the re-
suit OF our labors "a large number OF man
uiacturerS and merchants are now out OF
the city, some in the country, others in
in northern markets.: We visited 1Gj firms,
Il of whom were out. Thirteen, whilst
having good cheer for Us, yet would not
promise participation. leaving 13j manu-
iacturers and merchants who have prom
ised TO turn out during the Trades Parade.
This class is divided as follows: Forty
four manufacturers, nincty-One merchants.
With such n result III one weeks time, 1t
will not require argument to demonstrate
the success OF such an affair for our city
by the time designated. rs we expect every
firm in the city will Join. There axe many
who were not represented in last years
parade who are anxious for the one OF 1882.
This, coupled with the desire Of last years
participants. assures us success beyond
doubt As this i a general affair in which
the whole city OF Richmond is Interested,
we think it proper and respectfully suggest
that the matter be handed over TO our City
Council, they to father the same, TO appro-
pirate the required amounts, and TO APP
point from among themselves, as was done
last wear, members OF their respective
bodies to superintend the parade, etc.
We beg to tender our thanks to the press
OF this city for their kind words and aid,
and having performed the duty entrusted
TO Us. respectfully ask to be discharged
from its further work.
Respectfully,

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

The City School Board. d.-Supcrintendent
Howle. since he entered upon his duties
has had appointed two Readiuster members
OF the City School Board-Mr. Henry G.
Beattie, Of the Second Ward, and Mr.. W.
l.. Robinson. OF the Fourth Ward. The
reason OF this was the failure OF parties
elected by the City Council to qualify
within sixty days. The memberS-elect
either failed to receive notification OF their
election, or il notified failed TO quail
fy. At this rate the School Board
viii soon be Resdiuster body.
There is something wrong in this. As soon
as there is n vacancy in the School Board
the secretary should at once notify the City
COuncil that body should Immediately fill
the vacancy, and the party go elected should
at once be notified 10y the secretary OF the
Council, and either qualify or report his de
clcnsion to the secretary OF the Council, so
that another election can be held. There is
no objection personally 10 either Messrs.
Beattie or Robinson. They are eStimable
gentlemen, and will doubtless make excel
lent members OF the Board, but rs a party
matter it il OF some importance. AS the
school boards OF the State are being run. or
attempted to be run, in favor OF Coalition,
Manchester should keep its eyes open.
However, the political complexion OF the
body may not be matter OF great import.
ance, Il. it is understood that the new sll-
pcrintendent obtained all that he demand
ed from the present Board.
