for class goods. The advance averages about
20 per cent on freight In general and from Is 70
20 per cent on cotton. The announcement Of
the new cotton rates has created a stir at Balt-
more and other points The charge OF cotton
from Norfolk 10 Baltimore Is made IS cents per

more merchants regard that almost prohibitory.
Last year the rate from Norfolk 70 baltimore
was 80 cents per bale and that was then re-
garded as burdensome. Last year there
were handled at Norfolk 10000 bales
OF cotton. and the Baltimoreans think
that fact may have had something 70 do with
the shaping Of the discriminetive tariff In favor
OF that city. The rate from Norfolk 10 New

A Terrible Scene.

The following paragraph, clipped from
the Unions elaborate account of the
burning of the steamer City of Sanford,
graphically describes how two noble
mothers, in last effort to save their chill
dren, persisted with them:
Miss Ireland, during this exciting moment, fell
overheard In the neighborhood of the still turn
ing wheel, and was about 10 be sucked into its
terrible whiri when Captain Roberts sprang
CALAMITY In and rescued her. Mr.. Ireland sprang
afier her, was also entangled 10 the wheel and
rescued by the Captain. She, with her father,
escaped from their position in the water, and the
Captain, Mr.. and Mrs. Ireland urged the remain
der of the group to jump In. Possibly they
would have followed and been saved, but for the
sudden fright which the wild, terrible scene car

grimest, ghasliest Of deaths, forbore TO live
Without lust effort TO save their offspring, and

had lured them to their doom. Mrs. Keeps re-
mains were recognized by the proximity Of the
rosary which she wore. These four were the
only persons who were burned SO far as is known.

The President Of the Pensacola and
Atlantic Railroad in making the first
annual report, uses the following Ian
guge:
The State authorities have stopped the sale
of all lands where they may interfere with our
charter grants until we have selected the lands
granted TO u.s."
This language is calculated greatly to
mislead, and would place the State au-
thorities in the attitude of doing more
for this road than any other. But such is
not the case. The Board of Trustees have
laid down and followed one policy for all
roads. Whenever a map of the route of
any railroad is fled in the Land Office,
with an affidavit of the engineer that the
survey was actually made, the Board, in
accordance with the law, withdraws the
alternate sections for sac miles on each
side of said line for the benefit of the
road.
The Pensacola and Atlantic road hav-
ing fled map of its line, has had the al
ternate sections tor six miles on each side
Of said line withdrawn from market-and
no more. Hence the language used by
the President that the sale of all lands -
had been stopped until their selections
were made, is entirely incorrect. The
Board of Trustees deals with that road
- it does with all others.

Two barrels and ten crates of beets
were shipped by freight. During the
months of March and April $500 dozen
eggs were forwarded by express. From
the above figures it will be seen that the
total number of barrels and crates of veg
etables thus far shipped is 1881.
The strawberry yield is not SO large
this year as last, but the fruit is very fine,
and sells readily in the home market at
fair prices.
Our truckmen have realized handsomely
on cabbage, some netting as much as Is
cents head, which, at cents a head,
are a very profitable crop. Seven dol
lars per barrel have been received for
some potatoes shipped, and averaging the
927 barrels at $5 per barrel, they are
worth &4,o25. We believe the returns
from 500 barrels Of cabbage will foot up
quite as much as the returns from the pO-
tatoes, and it is no exaggeration to state
that $1,000 or $4,000 worth Of vegetables
have already been shipped from Tallahas-
see this season.

Il has long been the opinion of those
familiar with our resources that large
proportion of the property Of citizens did
not appear upon the. tar books. Many
non-residents and others, for instance,
would purchase lands from both the Uni.
ted States and State Governments. Hav-
ing their titles, many never troubled
themselves abont their being recorded,
until the lands were sold at an advance
to others. In this way, not being upon
the records in the clerks Office, they es.
capped their proper share of taxation. /.
The present administration desiring
to have all the taxable resources of the
State to appear upon the tax books, as
one means of securing further reduction
of taxes, is having lists made of all the
lands entered, both from the State and
United States Government, in the various
counties. So far there have been some
remarkable developments. In some coun-
ties there are found from sixty to one
hundred thousand acres held by private
individuals that should have been upon
the tax books. but have thus far escaped
taxation. It is confidently believed that
the aggregate amount in the entire State
will approach q million acres that belong
TO individuals, and should bear its just
proportion of county and State taxes.
No more important work could be done.
With this large increase of our taxable
resources and the Disston purchase and
railroad grants, which are to be added as
fast as deeds are made, our prospects for
low taxes are of the most Aattering char
acter. To secure q full and fair assess
ment, however, the law will have to be
amended regarding the "giving in - of
personal property. 1t is lamentably def
Gent as it stands, placing the burden
upon the conscientious and honest, and
allowing loop-hole of escape for the I'M
scrupulOus.

These lands, lying in Wakulla, Leon
and Franklin counties, and embracing
about 10000 acres, have been purchased
by Mr.. w. 81. Ashton, of New York. Mr..
Page, who was negotiating for them,
failed. The lands have been made the
basis of an organization known as the
Florida Mill, Lumber and Land Company,
chartered under the laws of New Jersey
with capital of $4,000 divided into
10000 shares of par value of $50 each.
The directors are Hugh ]. Jewett, Benz.
H. Bristow, Milton Saylor, Alex. Mac

and transport to market lumber, and to
own vessels (schooners) for purposes OF
the company. Among the Directors of
this company is found the Hon. Hugh J.

Very many people honestly believed,
says the Macon Telegraph, that section
alism in American politics had been
buried in the grave that covered Garfield.
The common sorrow which knew no sec
ton, no class, creed or condition, but
which possessed the hearts of al the peo-
pie at the sudden and fearful calamity
which had come to him, did seem TO .
great degreeto obliterate political passions
and resentments, and held out the hope
that the men of the United States would
in the future be brethren ia the full sig
ni6cance Of the word. So deep was this
impress upon the popular mind, that Ar
thur, under its spell, in his annual NEE
sage to Congress studicusly avoided any
sectional reference or discussion. And
in the earlier days Of the present session
Of Congress Arthur's party 90 conducted
itself IS TO mould belief almoat into an
assurance that for all time to come the di-
viding lines Of sectionalism were to be
eliminsted from party contests. The de-
